Chapter 353: Recognizing Each Other
Chapter 353: Recognizing Each Other Then, they collided heavily. "Ah..." Zhao Xi exclaimed, stumbling backward and almost falling into the door of the private room. Although the door remained shut, Zhao Xi ended up on the ground, and his curtain hat nearly fell off. Even without the hat falling off, Shu Yu immediately recognized his face when it was momentarily revealed, combined with his surprised exclamation. She confirmed his identity right away. She quickly squatted down to help him, saying, "Are you alright?" "I bumped into you with such force to see if you're alright. I mean, why were you walking so fast? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated? Tsk..." Zhao Xi groaned, not just from the pain in his shoulder from the collision but also from hitting his head. He twisted his foot while trying to regain his balance, making it an unfortunate accident. Shu Yu saw the shop assistants coming over, so she hurriedly leaned in closer to Zhao Xi and whispered, "Doctor Zhao, it's me." Startled, Zhao Xi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. "You... you..." Two shop assistants reached them and asked with concern, "Sir, are you alright?" Zhao Xi suddenly snapped out of his daze. He glanced at Shu Yu in front of him, taking in her completely different appearance from before, and remembered how she had disguised herself with sideburns last time. He couldn't help but gulp. Why was it that she recognized him twice, but he couldn't recognize her at all? Was his disguise really that bad? Shu Yu tried to help him up, apologizing as she did so, "I'm sorry. Are you injured? My private room is just ahead. I happen to have some excellent medicinal liniment for injuries. Would you like to come over and sit down, apply some medicine?" Zhao Xi looked at her with mixed feelings, and the two shop assistants asked him, "Sir, do you need any assistance? Shall we call a doctor?" Taking a deep breath, Zhao Xi waved his hand at them and said, "No need." Then he looked at Shu Yu and whispered, "Sir, I don't need your liniment. I have my own. Just help me downstairs. And explain the situation to my master, so he doesn't think I caused trouble outside and got injured, and wants to punish me." Shu Yu's eyes lit up slightly, realizing that Meng Yunzheng must be here. Without hesitation, she agreed, "Alright, no problem. I will explain everything to your master and make sure he doesn't blame you." The two shop assistants, seeing that they had reached an agreement, stepped back, clearing the way. Shu Yu immediately reached out to support Zhao Xi and began guiding him step by step towards the staircase. Before leaving, she glanced at the private room in front of her. Despite the loud impact and commotion, no one came to open the door. While Shu Yu had expected this, she still felt somewhat disappointed. Letting out a sigh, she helped Zhao Xi downstairs, heading towards a certain private room on the second floor. Both of them remained silent throughout the journey. It was clear that this was not the appropriate time for conversation. They reached the door of the private room, and Zhao Xi knocked lightly, softly calling out, "Master." The door was opened, and Meng Yunzheng looked up, noticing an unfamiliar man alongside Zhao Xi. A hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure. He then moved aside, silently gesturing for the two to enter. Meng Yunzheng closed the door again, secured the latch, and without waiting for Zhao Xi to speak, he asked, "Miss Lu?"
