Chapter 2365: Chapter 2365

Jiaojiao’s voice wasn’t loud, and this was a bustling street full of food stalls, but Wen Shu heard her immediately. She turned back and looked, becoming momentarily surprised upon seeing Jiaojiao, and then her eyes brightened.

She said something to the man beside her, then smiled and walked over, glancing at the two young girls beside Jiaojiao before resting her gaze on Jiaojiao herself: "Out here having fun with friends?"

Jiaojiao was still holding up her sugar-coated fried dough, looking at Wen Shu and nodding, though her gaze couldn’t help but drift to the man behind her, pondering their relationship.

The man had already walked up to them; his features were fairly clear. As he turned around, his eyes carried traces of annoyance from being interrupted, but upon seeing them, his gaze subtly changed, and he followed Wen Shu over.

"Who are these?" he asked upon reaching Wen Shu’s side, his gaze resting mostly on Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao pursed her lips slightly, perhaps due to preconceived notions, feeling somewhat uncomfortable under his scrutiny.

"This is my boyfriend’s sister, Jiaojiao," Wen Shu introduced openly.

The man’s expression visibly changed upon hearing that.

He looked at Wen Shu: "I didn’t expect Miss Wen’s claim of having a boyfriend to be true."

Wen Shu smiled lightly: "That was your disbelief."

The man nodded and looked again at the three young women in front of him. Though their ages seemed similar, none lacked striking features, especially Jiaojiao, who despite her youthful appearance, was so dazzlingly beautiful that one couldn’t look away, more appealing to him than Wen Shu’s career-oriented style.

He reached out his hand towards Jiaojiao: "I’m Gao Ji, a friend of your Sister Wen Shu, nice to meet you all."

This time, before Jiaojiao could respond, Wen Shu first furrowed her brow at Gao Ji’s hand directly offered towards Jiaojiao, her gaze cooling, then she smoothly transitioned to a smile, moving towards Jiaojiao and discreetly clasping Jiaojiao’s right hand while ruffling her hair with the other, asking: "Is it just you three girls out playing? It’s crowded and chaotic here, lots of pickpockets, be careful."

"No, there’s also Brother Xi and my friend’s little brother, they’re shopping at the market," Jiaojiao explained, looking up at Wen Shu, seemingly oblivious to Gao Ji’s extended hand.

Brother Xi... When Wen Shu heard these words, her gaze paused, and her heartbeat instinctively quickened.

And as if the heavens were deliberately testing her heart, two people came running from the left side of where the five were standing, Yang Hong and Duan Xi, having finished their shopping.

Both were jogging, Duan Xi was fine, maintaining a normal expression, but Yang Hong, lagging a few meters behind, looked somewhat pale from the sprint.

Duan Xi swiftly walked over, prompting a curious glance from Jiaojiao towards the panting Yang Hong behind him: "Brother Xi?"

Upon hearing Brother Xi, Wen Shu’s gaze landed on Duan Xi’s face, seeing the eyes identical to Duan Qianyang’s and a face somewhat resembling Wen Yu’s, she felt breathless, staring blankly.

Duan Xi’s eyes were identical to Duan Qianyang’s, nowhere in Beidu could another be found, yet his features largely inherited Wen Yu’s appearance.

Upon seeing him, Wen Shu’s heartbeat uncontrollably quickened.
