Chapter 1268: She Didn’t Leave
Liu Xiaoyu was incredibly anxious, and his phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, Liu Xiaoyu felt as if he’d discovered a millennia-old Ganoderma, a thousand-year-old ginseng, a life-saving medicine.
"Cheng Chen..."
Liu Xiaoyu picked up the call, his voice trembling slightly, while the person on the other end was remarkably calm: "Where is Xi Siyan now? Give me an address where I can find him."
Liu Xiaoyu looked at the chaotic airport hall, wearing a mournful expression: "The master is at the airport."
"The airport?"
"He’s here to chase after you."
Zhou Chengchen turned to look outside the car window, at the fork that would leave the airport expressway and enter the city. He touched his forehead powerlessly: "I just left the airport."
It must be said, at times like this, calmness is a great asset. While searching the airport hall for Xi Siyan’s figure, Liu Xiaoyu decisively reported an address to Zhou Chengchen and then said, "Cheng Chen, go here, the password is 2633. That’s the master’s house. We’re heading back immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoyu continued to search for Xi Siyan. The place was huge, and it was not easy to find someone, but Liu Xiaoyu soon found Xi Siyan because he was quite unusual at the moment—barefoot, wearing pajamas...
Liu Xiaoyu quickly ran over, grabbing Xi Siyan’s arm, while the people around stared at them as if they were watching a madman. Liu Xiaoyu’s shy nature made his face turn red.
"Master, Cheng Chen didn’t leave. She went to your place. Let’s go back now."
Xi Siyan seemed a bit unresponsive, as more and more people stared at them, looking as if someone was finally here to take the foolish young master of a landlord away.
Liu Xiaoyu, his face flushed, pulled Xi Siyan along. This time he didn’t let Xi Siyan drive; he got into the driver’s seat himself.
Even though Liu Xiaoyu was rational and alert, he hadn’t forgotten that parking here couldn’t exceed five minutes. He reckoned Xi Siyan would probably get a pile of tickets tomorrow.
The car left the airport, racing back as quickly as possible. It wasn’t until they passed the toll station that Xi Siyan seemed to come to his senses: "She... didn’t leave?"
"Yeah, she just called me."
"No, you’re lying to me?"
Liu Xiaoyu was exasperated—Master, do you think I’m that boring?
"No, no, really not."
Liu Xiaoyu pushed the car to its maximum speed, and the sky outside had already turned completely dark. The city lights and neon signs were all aglow, as they finally managed to return to Xi Siyan’s residence.
As soon as Liu Xiaoyu parked the car, Xi Siyan had already dashed out, wasting no time. Liu Xiaoyu quickly parked the car and followed.
Xi Siyan had already got in the elevator. Thankfully, this was a high-end community with two elevators, and there was no waiting on the other side; he could go up straight away.
Yet, he still arrived a few minutes late. When he got there, he saw Xi Siyan standing at his front door, staring at the password keypad, barefoot, his hands clenched tightly as if he was about to unlock a portal to Chu’s door.
Liu Xiaoyu walked over: "Master?"
Xi Siyan didn’t respond, but Liu Xiaoyu could sense the person beside him taking a deep breath. He raised his hand, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, pressing one number after another.
Just four digits, yet Xi Siyan seemed to take four centuries to press them. Then came a "click" sound, the sound of the door unlock.
Even then, Xi Siyan paused, without reaching out to push the door, still standing there blankly.
