Chapter 1272: Lost Phone
Xi Siyan originally was sitting, but when he saw clearly the phone Zhou Chengchen handed over, he immediately sat up.
His eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot. He stared at the phone screen for a full ten seconds, then looked at Zhou Chengchen, his voice hoarse but certain: "No!"
Their eyes met, no one spoke. Zhou Chengchen wouldn’t question his words; he said it wasn’t, and she believed him.
After a long silence between them, Xi Siyan finally broke it: "So... you left because of this?"
Zhou Chengchen felt a lump in her throat and couldn’t speak for a moment. She just nodded, took a deep breath to calm down, and then spoke: "When I received it, I didn’t believe it. I looked for you but couldn’t find you. I waited for you for four days, but there was no news. Later, my brother planned a trip, and in a fit of anger, I went along."
Xi Siyan pressed his lips together. At that time he didn’t tell her because he was afraid she’d be worried. His intention wasn’t to hide it from her; he just wanted to wait until the surgery was over, and then let her see that he was fine before telling her, so she wouldn’t worry.
Donating bone marrow wouldn’t take much time, so he didn’t think much of it. But unexpectedly, his body had an abnormal reaction, and the high fever wouldn’t go down. He had no choice but to be hospitalized, and that’s what dragged things out.
"I’m sorry."
Xi Siyan reached out and hugged Zhou Chengchen tightly. He didn’t know she left because of this. Back then, he crazily searched for her, then knew she went to the United Kingdom to study, and later heard from Zhou Qi that he wasn’t good enough for her.
Plus some other things, Xi Siyan just assumed Zhou Chengchen had seen him with Guo Yue and naturally didn’t trust him anymore.
He was human too, and he had a temper, so he didn’t actively try to find her to explain. He waited for her to come back.
He waited at Q University where they had agreed to meet, for her to come back.
If he had known there was so much mess involved, to hell with his temper and dignity, he would have begged to find her.
"I know you were hospitalized back then, but couldn’t you even make a phone call? A message would have been enough."
Zhou Chengchen’s tears had already fallen, and Xi Siyan hugged her even tighter.
"I’m sorry."
Zhou Chengchen’s body shook, not caring that Xi Siyan was still a patient, she started punching him: "Xi Siyan, you bastard!"
"Yes, I’m a bastard."
"You jerk!"
"Yes, I’m a jerk."
"You... I don’t want you anymore."
"That’s not possible!"
After venting enough, Zhou Chengchen freed herself, her eyes red, her face tear-stained, and cried and cried, and then laughed.
Xi Siyan cupped her face, carefully kissing away her tears, Zhou Chengchen sniffed and wrapped her arms around his neck, offering her lips.
The kiss didn’t last long, but it carried countless unspoken emotions.
After the kiss ended, Xi Siyan gently stroked Zhou Chengchen’s back, and slowly said: "I’m sorry, it wasn’t that I couldn’t give you news. That night of the class reunion, my phone went missing, I had someone try to tell you, but there was a problem."
"Your phone was lost?"
"Yes."
Zhou Chengchen was stunned, from the following, she could guess even without Xi Siyan explaining, given his relationship with the Xi Family, it was absolutely impossible for him to ask for anything in the hospital, not even borrowing a phone.
