Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 764 Yan Zhusheng is also his girlfriend?!
The atmosphere backstage at the main stage on the east side was quite lively at this moment.

The student union staff and members of various music clubs gathered here applauded and cheered for the five-member Sheng Sheng Bu Xi band as they stepped off the stage.

A small portion of the audience who were originally watching below the stage also gathered around.

Fortunately, members of the student council intervened and prevented the crowd from swarming forward.

Seeing this, Li Luo simply led Yan Zhusheng to the edge of the crowd, greeted them, and then had Yan Zhusheng sign autographs for them.

Fortunately, the people who came to the music festival were all college students from prestigious universities, and their manners were quite good. After getting the autographs, they dispersed at the urging of the student union members.

When Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng returned backstage, Wen Zexuan was already waiting there with Cheng Xin.

Beside them were Ying Chanxi, Qiao Xinyan, and Yan Zhusheng's roommate Cheng Jinyan, forming a trio.

Jiang Lai went for a stroll after watching the performance with her boyfriend, probably guessing that Wen Zexuan would also come backstage, so she didn't follow.

"You're Li Luo's roommates?" Hearing Wen Zexuan and Ying Chanxi's conversation, Cheng Jinyan curiously came over and politely greeted them, "Hello, we're Zhu Sheng's roommates."

"Hello." Wen Zexuan smiled brightly, his gaze sweeping over Cheng Jinyan and the other two girls. He noticed that Yan Zhusheng's three roommates were all quite good-looking, on par with Qiao Xinyan next to Ying Chanxi.

After exchanging greetings, Wen Zexuan secretly leaned close to Cheng Xin's ear and whispered something, causing Cheng Xin to immediately blush and shake his head repeatedly.

Wen Zexuan curled his lip, utterly speechless at his cowardly roommate, and decided to ignore him.

To his disappointment, because Xu Youyu didn't come, he couldn't see the chaotic scene he had originally wanted to observe.

As Ying Chanxi, this place is her domain right now. As long as Xu Youyu isn't around, she can present herself as Li Luo's girlfriend.

But what happened next was once again beyond Wen Zexuan's expectations.

"Sister, you're here." Yan Zhusheng followed Li Luo backstage and hugged Ying Chanxi's arm in front of everyone, calling out intimately.

"Hmm." Ying Chanxi didn't intend to confirm Li Luo's girlfriend status in person, so she nodded and said, "Your performance today was very successful."

"It's all thanks to my sister for going on stage to present the flowers."

The two of them flattered each other, leaving the others around them somewhat bewildered.

When Cheng Jinyan heard Yan Zhusheng call someone else "sister," he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Zhusheng, she's your sister? This is the first time I've heard you say that."

“Yes, that’s right.” Yan Zhusheng nodded and introduced, “She is my cousin Ying Chanxi. We were in the same class in high school.”

"Oh, I see." Cheng Jinyan looked enlightened and then greeted Ying Chanxi warmly.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Luo said, "We've been performing for an hour today, so let's go back and rest early."

Everyone nodded and left along the side of the stage.

But at this moment, Wen Zexuan was already deeply puzzled. He was completely baffled by the scene before him, as if the whole world was shrouded in a fog, making it impossible to see clearly.

"Ying Chanxi is actually Yan Zhusheng's older sister." Cheng Xin said to Wen Zexuan in a low voice with great surprise, "Brother Luo is really awesome. I didn't expect Ying Chanxi to have such a background."

"That is indeed surprising, but is that the point?" Wen Zexuan said somewhat speechlessly, "Look backstage just now, Ying Chanxi didn't show any intention of being Li Luo's girlfriend at all. Don't you find that strange?"

"It's alright." Cheng Xin scratched his head. "But Yan Zhusheng was holding her arm, so she couldn't just shake off her own sister and run off to hold hands with Luo Ge, could she?"

However, Ying Chanxi did not reveal her identity as Li Luo's girlfriend to his face because Yan Zhusheng's roommate was also present.

After all, from Cheng Jinyan's perspective, Yan Zhusheng was the one who had taken the place of Li Luo's official girlfriend.

Ying Chanxi knew this, so of course he couldn't expose her in public. Fortunately, Yan Zhusheng came over and gave him a way out, which Ying Chanxi accepted.

As for Cheng Jinyan and the others, knowing that Yan Zhusheng had a special identity, Li Luo had specifically instructed them not to spread the word about their relationship.

Therefore, neither Cheng Jinyan nor the other two revealed that Yan Zhusheng was Li Luo's girlfriend.

This left Wen Zexuan completely bewildered by the situation, unable to grasp the key points at all.

So Wen Zexuan could only make a wild guess. He glanced at Li Luo and the others walking ahead, then whispered to Cheng Xin, "Do you think there's a possibility?"

"What?" Cheng Xin asked curiously.

"Didn't Senior Sister Xu just tell us?" Wen Zexuan reminded him, "Back in high school, the four of them were already living together in an apartment."

"Then do you think my guess might be correct?"

Wen Zexuan spoke even more softly, as if afraid of being overheard by the people in front of him.

"Think about it, suppose Xu is the real girlfriend, and they all know about it."

"So, when Ying Chanxi is secretly dating Li Luo and being his mistress, shouldn't they be more discreet?"

"For example, just now, if the relationship between Li Luo and Senior Xu is public, then it means that Yan Zhusheng also knows about it."

"Under these circumstances, how could Ying Chanxi, as Yan Zhusheng's cousin, dare to publicly reveal that she was secretly dating Li Luo?"

"Do you think this is true?"

After listening to Wen Zexuan's analysis, Cheng Xin finally realized what was going on and showed an expression of sudden understanding and awakening: "So that's how it is. Now that you put it that way, everything makes sense."

“Right?” Wen Zexuan’s face showed a smug expression, but then he couldn’t help but sigh, “That son of a bitch Luo, how did he convince a girl like Ying Chanxi to be his mistress? I really don’t understand.”

"It's normal for someone as outstanding as Luo to have this kind of situation," Cheng Xin said, scratching his head and speaking in Li Luo's favor.

"It's a case of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer." Wen Zexuan clicked his tongue twice. "Don't you even think about it? You can't even find a partner yourself, yet you're still defending him." "Well, that's the truth." Cheng Xin said helplessly, "If I were as awesome as Luo Ge, I'd be two-timing too."

"Hehe, you should find a partner first." Wen Zexuan rolled his eyes at him. "I told you earlier, you can't win over the girls around Li Luo, but Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng's roommates are pretty good too."

"You could ask Brother Luo to arrange a dorm social event or something; you might actually have a chance."

"For example, that Qiao Xinyan, and that Cheng Jinyan, don't they both fit your requirements?"

"Shen Zhaoyin is not bad either, but she seems a bit aloof, not your type. Why don't you leave her to me?"

"Brother Xuan, the way you're acting like you're dividing up the spoils is a bit sleazy," Cheng Xin whispered a reminder.

"Food and sex are human nature, as Confucius said." Wen Zexuan slapped him on the back of the head, annoyed. "So tell me, if Qiao Xinyan or Cheng Jinyan took a liking to you, would you want to date them?"

"Of course we still need it..." Cheng Xin muttered softly.

Wen Zexuan chuckled, having thoroughly figured out the kid's temperament.

While the two were secretly chatting about these things behind each other, Yan Zhusheng followed Li Luo toward the exit of the playground. Along the way, they encountered many spectators who recognized them.

So they were forced to stop again halfway through to sign autographs and take photos. Yan Zhusheng finally found it too troublesome and took out the mask she had used that afternoon to put on herself, and only then did things finally get a little quiet.

After finally walking out of the east playground, Yan Zhusheng said to Li Luo, "I'll take Jin Yan and the others back first, and then go home. You go back with Xi Xi first."

“Okay, then be careful on the road.” Li Luo nodded, then turned to Wen Zexuan and Cheng Xin who were following behind and said, “You two come and ride in Xixi’s car, I’ll give you a ride home on the way.”

“Okay…” Cheng Xin was about to accept Li Luo’s kindness when Wen Zexuan interrupted him immediately.

"We're planning to look around a bit more, you guys go ahead." Wen Zexuan grabbed Cheng Xin's arm and said to Li Luo and the others, "The music festival isn't over yet."

"Oh, then we'll be going now." Li Luo smiled, unaware of Wen Zexuan's strange expression, nodded, said goodbye to Cheng Jinyan, and then got into Ying Chanxi's car with Qiao Xinyan and left.

"Brother Xuan, are we going to keep shopping?" Cheng Xin asked, scratching his head. "Are you going to keep trying to pick up girls?"

"Is that the problem?" Wen Zexuan glanced at him, then said irritably, "Didn't you see Yan Zhusheng just now? Didn't you recognize her?"

"Huh?" Cheng Xin was stunned, not understanding what Wen Zexuan was talking about. "What do you mean by 'recognized or not'? Yan Zhusheng is just Yan Zhusheng, what else could she be?"

"You're so stupid." Wen Zexuan sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead. "But I can't blame you. Actually, I'm not sure myself right now. Maybe I just misjudged you."

"What's wrong?" Cheng Xin was a bit confused by him and was completely bewildered. "You should at least explain it clearly. You're making me dizzy."

"Sigh...didn't you see? The way Yan Zhusheng looked with her mask on just now." Wen Zexuan sighed and reminded her again, "Doesn't she look familiar?"

"Uh..." Cheng Xin fell into deep thought for a moment, frowning as he pondered, "What does it look like with a mask on?"

To be honest, the incident with the masked couple that Cheng Xin encountered in the afternoon was just a minor episode, and he had already put it out of his mind.

He didn't react for a moment after Wen Zexuan said that.

After all, in his subconscious mind, the masked couple was in a romantic relationship, while Yan Zhusheng was single.

Unless they happen to meet right at the same time, it would be really difficult for Cheng Xin to connect the two after some time has passed.

But Wen Zexuan was more perceptive in this regard, especially since Li Luo had previously joked that Yan Zhusheng was also his girlfriend.

Although Wen Zexuan had always taken this as a joke, now that he thought about it, he felt a cold sweat break out.

A truly astonishing idea suddenly popped into his mind, making him feel it was so outrageous that he could hardly believe it.

"So what exactly is going on?" Cheng Xin didn't want to keep playing games with him. After thinking for a long time without coming up with anything, she quickly urged, "What did you find out?"

Seeing his slow reaction, Wen Zexuan was speechless and reminded him again: "Back this afternoon, didn't I tell you to just pick any girl and I would woo her?"

"The first one you picked was the one who was very tall, had her hair in a bun, and was wearing a mask so you could only see her eyes."

"Now that I've mentioned it, you should remember, right?"

"Oh, now that you mention it, I definitely remember." Cheng Xin nodded quickly, immediately recalling those eyes that had so dazzled him back then. But then he suddenly jolted, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Wen Zexuan. "Wait! You...you mean..."

"You're only realizing it now?" Wen Zexuan crossed his arms and sighed deeply.

"Yan Zhusheng actually has a boyfriend?!" Cheng Xin couldn't help but exclaim in shock. "I'm so envious. I wonder who's so lucky."

Upon hearing Cheng Xin's words, Wen Zexuan, who had thought the kid had figured it out, slapped his forehead, speechless: "You're hopeless, you've only dismantled this one layer?"

"Huh?" Cheng Xin was a little confused about what he was talking about. "What else could it be?"

"I think your attention was completely focused on Yan Zhusheng at the time, and you didn't even look at the guy next to him," Wen Zexuan couldn't help but complain. "Think back carefully, doesn't that guy look a lot like Brother Luo? They're even wearing the same clothes."

"This..." Cheng Xin was so shocked upon hearing this that he couldn't speak. His mouth was agape in disbelief. "This...this...really?! I didn't pay close attention at the time. Are you sure the clothes are the same?"

“I felt those two looked familiar, but I thought it was just my imagination, so I didn’t tell you,” Wen Zexuan said helplessly. “So now you understand just how outrageous this is.”

"So Brother Luo...he..." Cheng Xin was already stammering, his fingers trembling, completely unable to believe that such a thing could happen. "He's cheating on me with three women at the same time?! Is Yan Zhusheng also his mistress?"

“It’s highly likely.” Wen Zexuan nodded heavily. “Otherwise, why wouldn’t either of them dare to reveal their relationship with Li Luo to each other’s faces? They’re obviously keeping it from each other.”

"Holy crap!" After Cheng Xin figured this out, he couldn't imagine what kind of life Li Luo usually led. "Senior Xu also said that the four of them have been sharing an apartment. Doesn't that mean Brother Luo is just eating the grass next to his own nest? Isn't he afraid of being found out?"

"How would I know?" Wen Zexuan said irritably. "That son of a bitch knows how to enjoy himself. It's one thing to mess with Ying Chanxi, but he even dared to lay a hand on Yuan Wanqing's daughter. I really don't know how he did it!"
