Chapter 986: Chapter 48: Starfire Shines Bright, Only True Feelings Must Never Be Forsaken [Main Story]

The Qi Family has always been outstanding for their temperament.

Feng Chengjin knew this, so he was more or less mentally prepared. His eyes were still amazed for a second, and after Qi Xuesha greeted him politely, he nodded in response.

He quickly and politely withdrew his gaze and smiled as he asked Qi Shuya, "What kind of favor?"

"I know your wife used to be especially outstanding at the violin, and she studied under JIMS. It’s just that JIMS..." Qi Shuya sighed, as if there were too many helpless things she couldn’t say. "My younger sister also really likes the violin. She majors in it too and wants to further her studies, but JIMS has such a strange temper and personality. Our family has tried every possible way, yet he still refused to take her, so I was hoping..."

Qi Shuya didn’t finish the latter half of her sentence.

But Feng Chengjin already understood everything.

He hooked his lips in a smile and nodded. "Sure. Zhi Xuan is changing our son’s diaper right now. When she comes down in a bit, I’ll ask her."

Thinking about how Feng Chengjin already had a son now, and how his tone would unconsciously soften and turn intimate whenever he mentioned Qiu Zhixuan’s name.

Qi Shuya couldn’t help but be envious.

She smiled gently and said, "Sorry to trouble you."

When Qiu Zhixuan came downstairs, her whole state today was practically dazzling.

At the wedding last June, she became the talk of the city and the envy of countless women.

This year’s banquet star—Feng Yuzhe, the Feng Family’s new little precious grandson, Feng Chengjin’s son—was once again cradled in her arms.

She was one meter sixty-eight, not short at all. Even though she wore flat shoes today to hold the baby more steadily, her figure was still slender and curvy. The red evening gown highlighted the joyful atmosphere of the day.

The lipstick in the same color palette made her look like a stunning, otherworldly red rose in full bloom.

Had she really given birth to a child? Qiu Zhixuan’s life must have some sort of cheat code for everything to go so smoothly! Otherwise, how could her looks and temperament still be as breathtakingly beautiful as ever!

Qiu Zhixuan arrived at Feng Chengjin’s side with her son and the cradle.

The moment she saw Qi Xuesha, she was also captivated by this clear and pure girl.

How to describe it? You couldn’t really say that Qi Xuesha’s features were unbelievably delicate, but that ethereal temperament of hers, it was like seeing Liu Yifei or Song Hye-kyo—so stunning it felt like she was a little fairy.

Qi Xuesha’s smile was also very airy and clear. When she saw Qiu Zhixuan, she politely nodded and curved her lips. "Mrs. Feng."

"This..." She was a bit surprised.

Qi Shuya then laughed and introduced them a second time.

After Feng Chengjin told her about the matter, she immediately understood and smiled. Looking at Qi Xuesha with great fondness, she said, "A girl this pretty naturally deserves to be introduced. My teacher is really wasting a heavenly gift by rejecting you like that!"

The couple’s repeated praise of the Qi Family made both Qi Shuya and Qi Xuesha smile with crescent eyes. Qi Xuesha probably wasn’t used to being complimented, and her face flushed a little. She lowered her head and let the corners of her lips hook up lightly, looking even more like a curved crescent moon.

Qiu Zhixuan didn’t delay and immediately went to a quiet spot to call her own teacher.

When the news came back, it was naturally good news.

"It’s all arranged. Teacher JIMS said okay and has already set a time. Five days from now, I’ll take you over. Are you free?"

Qi Xuesha was, of course, delighted. She looked at Qiu Zhixuan in surprise and joy. "Thank you so much, Mrs. Feng. I’ll be free. You can call me anytime."

Her politeness naturally became Qiu Zhixuan’s second impression of Qi Xuesha.

She smiled in liking, and after a bit more casual chatting, Qiu Zhixuan still had to go with Feng Chengjin to take the child around and greet everyone, so she temporarily excused herself from Qi Shuya and Qi Xuesha.

Qi Shuya didn’t mind, since another close friend of hers had arrived, and she went off with a smile to welcome her.

Left on her own, Qi Xuesha went to taste the desserts and try the champagne.

But as time passed, she drank more and more juice and other things, and eventually she really needed the restroom.

After looking around the first floor and finding everything occupied, she went up to the second floor.

The quiet second floor was a completely different atmosphere from the lively hall downstairs.

The castle-like European architecture made every corner exude a kind of artistic air, so comfortable it only made one think of nobility and elegance.

Qi Xuesha didn’t slow her pace.

At the same time, a tall, slender figure at the turn of the second floor, who was just about to go downstairs, also seemed to walk especially fast thanks to his long legs.

They turned the corner, and both intended to walk on their own side, but because they misjudged and chose the same direction, their bodies both staggered slightly.

Their eyes met, and they stepped aside.

When Gu Zixi saw the silhouette, he instinctively said, "Sorry... sor..."

His final syllable stretched out, and his voice faded away.

Qi Xuesha’s heart also gave a little tremor.

Just how handsome could one person be? A smoke-gray shirt paired with a white bow tie, his figure tall and straight, his features striking. Especially his eyes—dark and deep, like the most beautiful galaxy in the night sky.

Qi Xuesha looked him over from head to toe, then from his feet back up to his chest, but in the end, she didn’t have the courage to lift her gaze any higher.

With a faint flush on her face, she said softly, "It, it’s... fine."

The two of them, both a little awkward, stepped to the side and continued what they had originally planned to do, slipping past each other in a way that didn’t feel abrupt.

This was the instinctive reaction most people had when they ran into a stranger.

However, even though they both made that choice, as they continued up and down the stairs respectively, their steps both slowed.

After going down four steps, Gu Zixi couldn’t help turning back.

Qi Xuesha was two seconds later. When her footsteps stopped and she turned her head, she met Gu Zixi’s gaze—he hadn’t been able to help himself and was still looking at her.

"Whoosh!" With no previous experience in love, Qi Xuesha was completely flushed red under that eye contact.

She paused, didn’t say a single word, and with a burning face, lifted the hem of her white fishtail gown and rushed upstairs into the restroom.

On the stairs, watching that graceful back, Gu Zixi’s heart also rippled.

But he didn’t know who she was... and it felt too abrupt to go up and ask directly. After thinking it over, Gu Zixi still chose to go downstairs.

Their second meeting, naturally, was at the banquet.

Because Gu Zixi had come downstairs, Feng Chengjin took the opportunity while all the rich and powerful friends were present to formally introduce Gu Zixi.

During this process, Qi Xuesha also learned his name and identity.

But how was she supposed to introduce herself to him?

Lightly clutching her juice glass, Qi Xuesha felt a bit nervous inside.

Just as she was thinking about how to find a way to strike up a conversation with him, in the blink of an eye, she realized Gu Zixi had disappeared; he was no longer by Feng Chengjin and Mrs. Feng’s side.

She glanced around in slight panic.

On an impulse, she turned, wanting to look behind her. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

And discovered that Gu Zixuan’s tall figure was already standing right behind her.

"You..." Qi Xuesha was so nervous she gave a little shiver, her five fingers gripping the glass juice cup so tightly that her knuckles went a bit white.

Gu Zixi no longer wanted to hide that lightning-flash of feeling in his heart.

Looking at the girl whose beauty had made his heart lurch at first sight, he couldn’t help asking, "May I know your name?"
