When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 1219: The Tragedy of Being an Older Brother

Sponsored

Zhou Chengchen doesn’t care about gossip, but she doesn’t want to give herself any trouble, and she has never considered using her identity to bring herself any convenience.

A little disappointment, but it will naturally get better in a few days.

Zhou Qi couldn’t bear to see his sister like this. They grew up together, and Young Master Zhou knows his sister’s character very well.

He turned back to his room to make a phone call, quickly came out, and lightly slapped Zhou Chengchen on the back of her head: "Let’s go, go out with your brother."

Zhou Chengchen refused without a second thought: "Not going!"

Looking at the blazing sun outside, if she goes out for five minutes, her whole body will probably be drenched in sweat, right? Going out in this weather? Crazy!

Zhou Qi didn’t care about her and dragged Zhou Chengchen upstairs by her collar: "Change clothes, hurry up."

"I’m not going."

"I invited Si Yan to solve some problems, going or not?"

"Going!"

Zhou Chengchen dashed back to her room, leaving Zhou Qi alone standing at the top of the stairs. He rubbed his nose, wondering why he felt like he’d dug himself a hole again?

It was true that Zhou Qi had invited Xi Siyan out to solve some problems, which was something they were originally planning to do anyway. But such things could be solved online and didn’t necessarily require meeting in person.

However, Zhou Qi couldn’t bear seeing his sister so disappointed, and he knew that the only person who could instantly clear away Zhou Chengchen’s gloom was Xi Siyan.

Zhou Qi arranged to meet at a quiet café. Even though there were only three of them, Young Master Zhou generously booked a private room, and the three of them sat inside.

Zhou Chengchen was doing her summer homework, while Xi Siyan and Zhou Qi occasionally solved problems and exchanged a few words.

Next to them was a pot of coffee. It was just summer homework, so Zhou Chengchen wasn’t doing it very seriously. She was writing while keeping an eye on Xi Siyan’s cup. As soon as it was empty, she promptly refilled it, never missing a beat.

At first, neither Zhou Qi nor Xi Siyan noticed this, but gradually, Zhou Qi realized that every time he needed to drink water or coffee, he always had to pause to pour a cup.

But the person across from him?

Xi Siyan never took his eyes off the paper, whether drinking coffee or water; he just reached out to grab it. Why?

Because his cup was always filled, but his own...

Zhou Qi glanced over and instantly understood.

He shouted in frustration: "Damn it, Zhou Chengchen, this disparity is too severe! Why do you pour for him but not for me?"

Xi Siyan also stopped thinking, hearing Zhou Qi’s shout, he immediately understood and gave Zhou Chengchen a gentle smile.

Zhou Chengchen paid no heed to her brother’s shouting and replied confidently: "I have to pour the water for you; don’t you have hands?"

"Come on, why do you pour for him then? Doesn’t he have hands?"

"Are his hands meant for pouring water?"

"I..."

Zhou Qi was frustrated, but Xi Siyan smiled as he took a piece of candy from the afternoon tea plate beside him, unwrapped it, and brought it to Zhou Chengchen’s mouth.

Zhou Chengchen didn’t hesitate to eat it, and she even raised her eyebrows at Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood in anger.

He knew it; he definitely dug himself a hole again. Next time, he wouldn’t show compassion in front of these two troublemakers. Let them be disappointed; what did it matter to him!

Zhou Qi lowered his head in anger, continued solving problems, and ignored those two troublemakers.
