Chapter 1226: Nothing Less, Only More
Zhou Chengchen instantly understood that she had been set up again, previously by Chen Youran, and now... Zhou Chengchen’s gaze darkened as she looked at the now-empty seat over there.
A guy who, strangely enough, had a light blue desk cover.
Zhou Chengchen was brought home by Qi Cheng. The Zhou Family was relatively open-minded; such an incident wouldn’t have caused such a stir in the past, but now it was a different story as it was the third year of high school.
Although the Zhou Family didn’t demand that Zhou Chengchen must get into a particular college, her life wouldn’t be troubled by the level of her university.
But with universities, it’s more about whom you meet there rather than what you learn.
Good universities don’t necessarily have only good students, but the people around you are on a different level compared to ordinary universities.
Zhou Chengchen was unwilling to deny that she had a crush, but she also didn’t want to explain Si Yan’s situation, leading to a stalemate in the atmosphere. Eventually, something snapped, and Zhou Chengchen turned and ran out.
She didn’t run far, just huddled in a small pavilion not far outside. She didn’t feel all that wronged; everything was true, though the love letter wasn’t written by her, the fact that her relationship with Si Yan was special was undeniable.
Zhou Chengchen touched the phone in her pocket, contemplating whether to call Xi Siyan. After a moment’s hesitation, she dismissed the idea; she didn’t want to disturb him.
Currently, Xi Siyan was in the crucial preparation phase for a competition. How could she burden him with such trivial matters? Even if it likely wouldn’t affect Xi Siyan adversely, Zhou Chengchen still didn’t want to.
The truth was, Qi Cheng didn’t really blow up over this incident. She was more agitated by Zhou Chengchen’s determined attitude to defend her crush.
They had spoiled her since childhood; how could they, as parents, not know about Zhou Chengchen’s innocence?
And what about the other party?
They knew nothing about who the other person was.
Ultimately, what parents fear is not their child’s early romance but their child being hurt, whether physically or mentally.
The overprotective Mr. Zhou was especially like this.
Zhou Chengchen ran out, and Zhou Qi, seeing his parents’ not-so-good expressions, sighed, "Mom, Dad, you don’t need to worry; Si Yan is just my deskmate, and I can vouch for his character."
Zhou Qi briefly talked about Xi Siyan, without mentioning Xi Siyan’s family, only discussing Xi Siyan’s character and some incidents.
Though it was evident that little sister was more proactive in their relationship, Zhou Qi could see that Xi Siyan wanted nothing more than to cherish Zhou Chengchen like a treasure.
It was just a matter of personality, making it seem as if Zhou Chengchen was more proactive. In terms of feelings, Xi Siyan’s care for Zhou Chengchen was undoubtedly abundant.
In the end, the situation didn’t cause much of a stir. On Monday, when Zhou Chengchen arrived at school, her gaze landed on the desk behind the math class representative.
Zhang Hua was bowing his head, busy with something, when Zhou Chengchen set down her backpack and picked up both her and Liu Xiaoyu’s math homework and walked over.
Placing the two math assignments on the class representative’s desk, Zhou Chengchen’s gaze fixed on Zhang Hua.
Suddenly, she smiled, "Zhang, your Chinese skills need some improvement. Using such a cliché piece to mimic my writing style, do you think the teacher is blind, or am I?"
Her voice wasn’t loud, but it wasn’t soft either, and several nearby students turned to look.
