66: Chapter 66 Are you Brother Xiao?

The slanting sun in July was still a bit hot.

Xiao Ran sat in the back seat of a taxi, driving along Chenghua Avenue, heading to the Art University.

There was still some lingering tension in his relationship with Xu Qianqian.

If it weren't for the system about to upgrade, Xu Qianqian would probably have been sidelined too.

Xiao Ran looked out the car window.

The constantly flashing traffic, the busy crowds, and the familiar female celebrity on the giant screen advertisement.

These things drew his thoughts to Sun Xin颖.

This time, he was going to see Sun Xin颖 to dispel the obsession in her heart.

Some people, once dead, are dead.

If someone wanted to revive the dead, it would depend on his mood.

As for what identity Xiao Ran would use to meet Sun Xin颖 now.

He had already thought of it, and it was a very melodramatic identity!

“Screech—”

The taxi's brake pads seemed a bit old, emitting a piercing sound.

“We've arrived!” The driver uncle turned his head to remind him.

“Beep!”

“WeChat Pay, 36 yuan!”

Xiao Ran got out of the car and arrived at the agreed meeting point.

[Reunion]

A very meaningful shop name.

He arrived at the shop entrance and saw two female bodyguards guarding nearby.

The two women nodded at Xiao Ran.

They seemed to know him.

Xiao Ran smiled slightly and also nodded at them.

Then he took out a black mask from his pocket and put it on.

He also took out a pair of glasses from the small satchel he was carrying.

After a slight disguise, he walked into the shop.

A retro-style coffee shop.

The rich aroma of coffee intertwined with a subtle caramel scent, forming an irresistible temptation.

Paired with simple lighting and elegant piano music.

It was tranquil and cozy.

It was past six in the afternoon, and the shop was getting more crowded.

But no one deliberately tried to disturb the peaceful atmosphere.

In the innermost corner.

Sun Xin颖 had already removed most of her disguise.

Only the white mask on her face remained.

Xiao Ran stood not far away, looking at the girl with gentle eyes.

As if he were looking at his own Granddaughter.

‘Still so beautiful after all this time.’

Sun Xin颖

After confirming his target, he slowly walked towards her.

The time had already reached 18:20.

The girl in this corner seemed a bit impatient.

Her gaze constantly peered through the glass, looking out at the street outside the window.

She kept scanning the passing crowds, as if searching for something.

When Xiao Ran arrived in front of her, she was still staring out the window in a daze.

She didn't notice the person at her table at all.

“Hello, is this seat taken?” Xiao Ran asked softly.

“Ah?”

The girl seemed startled, her body trembled slightly.

The next second, she widened her eyes.

“Xiao...Brother Xiao?”

Sun Xin颖’s voice trembled slightly, as if in disbelief.

“Is it really you?”

The girl looked at the familiar figure, savoring the familiar voice.

She slowly stood up.

She could feel that familiar sense of intimacy!

The girl stood still in a daze, not daring to move.

She was afraid this was all a dream!

If she moved, everything before her would vanish!

“Ms. Sun! You've mistaken me for someone else!” Xiao Ran gently shook his head and said.

Then he sat down opposite her without another word.

The coffee was steaming, its aroma wafting towards them.

‘It's still hot, she must have replaced many cups by now.’

‘She still likes to waste so much!’

Sun Xin颖 was stunned by being called “Ms. Sun.”

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a misty haze slowly spread.

“You... are you... Xiao... Brother Xiao?!” she asked again.

“No, I am not Ran Xiao.” Xiao Ran added five spoonfuls of sugar to his coffee and gently stirred it.

“But... you... if you're not Brother Xiao, why do you know me?!”

Sun Xin颖 was still standing, her eyes a bit red as she spoke.

“And... you... why do you look so much like Ran Brother Xiao?!”

Although she was very emotional.

She hadn't lost her reason, not forcibly recognizing him as Brother Xiao.

“Because I know him.” Xiao Ran answered her question in a natural tone.

Then he elegantly picked up the coffee and took a small sip.

“Slurp!”

“This coffee is good. How much is a cup? Pack a few more for me later.”

Sun Xin颖 felt like she was punching cotton, unable to find any resistance.

This Qi Ren Ge's tone was indeed a bit annoying.

No wonder he was given such a nickname.

But her attention was drawn by Xiao Ran’s words!

“Do you really know Brother Xiao?” Sun Xin颖 rubbed her eyes, sat down, and asked softly.

“Yes, very well.” Xiao Ran nodded and said.

“Prove it!” She wasn't that easy to fool; she was smart!

“Ran Xiao. Xiao Xiao Yu Xi. Late-stage cancer patient. Your ex-boyfriend. Right?”

Xiao Ran’s words almost shattered the girl's psychological defenses.

Her expression became somewhat dazed, as if she was lost in memories.

“Sun Xin颖, aren't you curious where your Ran Brother Xiao went?”

Xiao Ran looked at the somewhat dejected Sun Xin颖 and asked meaningfully.

Indeed.

The girl was very sensitive to this topic.

She immediately perked up, like a rabbit raising its ears.

She quickly took off her mask, revealing her delicate face, and asked anxiously:

“You have news of Brother Xiao, right?”

“As long as you tell me about Brother Xiao, I can give you money, lots and lots of money!”

She had originally thought this time would also be a fruitless trip.

But she didn't expect this Qi Ren Ge to have news of Brother Xiao!

It was like a dazzling light.

Illuminating her path forward.

Xiao Ran looked at the girl in front of him, feeling a bit speechless.

Was such a big reaction really necessary?

There were quite a few people in the coffee shop now; wasn't she afraid of being recognized?

And, did you really only learn one trick: ‘add more money’?

“Put your mask on first, otherwise I won't tell you.” Xiao Ran spread his hands and said.

“You...!”

Sun Xin颖 seemed to deflate, slumping into her seat and putting on her mask.

“Tell me the news of Brother Xiao! I'll give you one million!” Sun Xin颖 tempted.

“Deal!” Xiao Ran immediately agreed.

The coffee had already been cooled by him.

He directly drank half a cup in one gulp.

“Gulp~!”

It was a bit stimulating!

Sun Xin颖 looked at the man in front of her, frowning.

She did indeed feel Brother Xiao’s aura from him.

And even that familiar sense of intimacy.

But why were his personality and demeanor so different from Brother Xiao's!

Brother Xiao would never act like this!

And he would never treat her with such an attitude!

This so-called Qi Ren Ge was nothing like the gentle Brother Xiao!

At this moment, she was truly certain.

This person was really not her Ran Brother Xiao!

“Tell me! Where is Ran Brother Xiao?!”

Sun Xin颖 crossed her arms, returning to her normal demeanor.

“Money first.” Xiao Ran looked at her calmly, completely unmoved.

“You!”

“You what?”

“Your card number!” the girl said through gritted teeth.

“6222****”

The girl quickly and skillfully transferred the money.

It was done in less than 2 minutes.

“It's transferred! Can you tell me now?” Sun Xin颖 handed the transfer information to Xiao Ran.

“Hmm! Please allow me to explain in detail!” Xiao Ran finished the remaining coffee, saying profoundly.

His dark eyes were full of liveliness.

As if some earth-shattering secret was about to be revealed...
