Chapter 73: The Arena of Success and Fame (Part 2)

"This setup," Zhao Tan looked around at the arrangement inside the room and laughed, "is like the meeting of four countries." Cen Ye wanted to laugh too, thinking that by taking seats this seriously and orderly, it felt like a self-study session at university, and no one but Xu Xunsheng would do that. She always had a way of being endearingly detached from worldly concerns.

Cen Ye walked over to her with some steamed buns, but his eyes caught sight of a loaf of bread, the packaging torn open and half-eaten.

That bear actually followed her here? How long had they chatted? It looked like they had a pretty good time... Once these thoughts began to unfold, Cen Ye started to feel a bit sour inside.
