Chapter 32 What a coincidence
Author: Ye Wuxing
Soon enough, Ling Muchuan opened the photo album on his phone, found a photo, and sent it to Shu Mingya.
This was the night he met Shu Mingfei and Shen Chuze. When the two were leaving, he looked at their backs, inadvertently raised his phone, pointed it at their backs, turned on the camera, and took a photo.
The light was dim and the photo was a bit blurry, but it did not prevent familiar people from identifying who was in the photo.
After Shu Mingya received the photo, it took about half a minute and she only replied to him with a smile that didn't mean anything.
Ling Muchuan stared at the chat interface for a long time without understanding what it meant.
He thought about whether to call and ask directly, but after calling, he heard the prompt tone "The number you dialed is currently on call...".

When she first saw the photo, Shu Mingya's eyes were dazed for a moment.
If she hadn't known that the person in the photo was not her, she would have had to think carefully about when she met Shen Chuze.
The girl next to him has a very similar body shape to her, and even the dressing style is the same.
——That’s actually Shu Mingfei?!
In her memory, Shu Mingya had never seen Shu Mingfei wearing a skirt. She had looked at her wardrobe and there were not many brightly colored clothes, let alone skirts.
Shu Mingya remembered that when she returned to China during the holidays last year, Shu Mingfei was still the same as before.
What happened in these short few months?
Even if she falls in love with Shen Chuze, she can't completely change her dressing habits, right? It's like... imitating her.
What's more important -
Did Shen Chuze also fall in love with someone else?
A week ago, Shu Mingya wouldn't have believed it even to death, but now...
Shu Mingya was worried and dialed Shen Chuze's phone number.
"Yaya, what do you want from me?"
On the phone, the man's voice was still as gentle and sweet as in memory, which made Shu Mingya feel a little calmer.
"Aze, you..."
Her voice suddenly stopped.
She had made this call impulsively just now, but now that the call was connected, she didn't know how to speak.
Shen Chuze seemed a little confused: "Huh?"
Shu Mingya lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice: "Aze, have you seen my sister?"
"I've seen it."
Shen Chuze answered simply and did not show the guilty conscience that Shu Mingya imagined.
But he only answered her questions and did not continue to say anything else, such as when and where he met Shu Mingfei, and his current relationship with her...
Shu Mingya's heart sank slightly, and she comforted herself that Shu Mingfei was Fu Yunxiu's fiancée before, and it was normal for Shen Chuze to meet her.
She sighed, "You must have heard about it, right? Yun Xiu has terminated his engagement with my sister. My sister likes him so much, she will be very sad."
Shen Chuze on the other end raised his eyebrows.
Sad? He didn't see it.
He said calmly: "Maybe."
He seemed not very interested in this matter.
Shu Mingya bit her lip and wanted to say something, but Shen Chuze suddenly asked: "Yaya, do you like dogs?"
"Why did Aze suddenly ask me this question?" Shu Mingya asked calmly, as if joking: "Do you want to give me a dog as a gift?"
Shen Chuze didn't explain, but just said: "If you like it, I will give it to you."
Shu Mingya's brain was running rapidly, and she had an intuition that Shen Chuze's question was trying to probe something.
"Actually, I think puppies are very cute. I have wanted to raise a puppy since I was a child," she sighed with pretense of regret: "But I have been allergic to cat and dog hair since I was a child, so I am obsessed with these cute little guys. You can only watch from a distance and don’t play with it.”
She thought she answered perfectly and perfectly maintained her kind and loving persona, but little did she know that after hearing her words, the smile in Shen Chuze's eyes completely disappeared.
When he spoke, his voice was still gentle: "That's such a shame."
Later, the two chatted for a few words, but Shu Mingya always felt that Shen Chuze was absent-minded and quickly ended the call.
-
After ending the call with Shu Mingya, Shen Chuze looked calm.
Just the hand hanging by his side was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
During the call, he suddenly asked Shu Mingya if she liked dogs. It was a test and also to prove that Shu Mingfei had lied to him about "Yaya was afraid of dogs".
Before getting Shu Mingya's answer, he never thought that he might have recognized the wrong person.
Yaya said that she has been allergic to cat and dog hair since she was a child?
But he was very sure that the little girl he met when he was a child did not have any allergic symptoms after touching a dog.
Regardless of whether Shu Mingfei is the little girl or not, it is an indisputable fact that Shen Chuze has always recognized the wrong person.
He stood motionless for a moment, wanting to find Shu Mingfei to confront him, so he called, but what he heard was a notification that the user's phone had been turned off.

Today is Fu Yunxiu’s birthday.
Shu Mingfei woke up as usual. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the ceiling of the bedroom, and her brain didn't react for a moment.
After a moment, she remembered that she had moved out of the dormitory.
Thinking that she would no longer have to live in the same space with annoying people, Shu Mingfei suddenly felt relaxed and the air became much fresher.
She stretched, washed briefly, ate two slices of toast bought at a nearby bakery last night, sat in front of the dressing table and put on Shu Mingya-style makeup, and then put on the newly purchased outfit.
Fu Yunxiu paid the money so readily. To show respect, of course she had to dress nicely to let him feel that "Yaya" valued his birthday.
Before going out, she looked back at herself in the mirror, raised the corners of her mouth, and showed Shu Mingya's usual smile.
——Tsk, that’s scary.
After waiting downstairs for a short while, the car she ordered arrived.
On the way to Fu Yunxiu's company, Shu Mingfei found out the message he sent last night, which was his new requirements for today's schedule.
The first point is to ask her to wait for him in the parking lot of his company.
The second point is that after seeing him, until the substitute service ends, the phone must be kept turned off.
After confirming that he had not asked her to send a gift, Shu Mingfei sent a message to Fu Yunxiu after arriving at the Fu Group headquarters, and then went to the parking lot to wait for someone with peace of mind.
There was no one in the parking lot at the moment. After a while, she saw Fu Yunxiu wearing a suit and walking towards her.
Shu Mingfei squeezed the time, and after Fu Yunxiu walked up to her, it was exactly nine o'clock. She raised her eyes, smiled at him, and said in a gentle tone: "Yunxiu, happy birthday!"
Fu Yunxiu's eyes were soft and he was about to say something when his phone vibrated.
He took out his cell phone and when he saw the caller ID, his expression changed slightly and he subconsciously wanted to turn around.
But Shu Mingfei had already seen clearly that it was Shu Mingya's call.
——What a coincidence.
