Chapter 1220: A Chance Encounter with Liu Xiaoyu
The three of them stayed at the café for the entire day, even having dinner together in the evening, and then Zhou Chengchen and Zhou Qi headed back home.
When they went out earlier, they hadn’t taken their own car. Although Zhou Qi could drive, he didn’t have a license, so he didn’t drive often.
The two of them hailed a taxi and headed towards home. When they reached the entrance of the complex, Zhou Chengchen got out first, and Zhou Qi paid before getting out.
As a result, he saw his sister’s gaze fall on a large tree across the street.
"What’s wrong?"
"There’s someone over there."
At this time, the sky was just turning dark, so it was easy to see the person under the tree.
Zhou Qi naturally saw it too, but he wasn’t someone who meddled in others’ business. Then, he heard Zhou Chengchen speak: "It seems to be Liu Xiaoyu."
After all, they were desk mates, so Zhou Chengchen was quite familiar with Liu Xiaoyu.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qi also looked over there. He wasn’t very familiar with Liu Xiaoyu, but they had been classmates for a year. The two of them exchanged a glance and walked over together.
Upon getting closer, it really was Liu Xiaoyu.
At this moment, Liu Xiaoyu was barefoot, curled up in a ball under the tree.
He seemed to sense someone approaching and looked up.
Zhou Chengchen spoke first: "Liu Xiaoyu, is it really you?"
Liu Xiaoyu stood up awkwardly, with one cheek a bit red, the signature round lenses, now one was full of cracks.
Zhou Chengchen and Zhou Qi exchanged another glance. Although they didn’t know what happened, it was clear that Liu Xiaoyu was not in a good situation.
Zhou Chengchen was just about to ask what happened when Zhou Qi spoke up first: "What a coincidence, running into you. Why don’t you come over to my house for a visit?"
Liu Xiaoyu recognized Zhou Qi, his face grew even more embarrassed, but Zhou Qi had already placed his hand on his shoulder, as if he hadn’t noticed Liu Xiaoyu’s embarrassment at all: "You haven’t forgotten me, right? After all, we were classmates for a year. My sister often says you helped her with math. I really want to thank you."
As Zhou Qi said this, he was already leading Liu Xiaoyu towards the complex.
Zhou Chengchen instantly understood her brother’s intention. Clearly, their appearance made Liu Xiaoyu more embarrassed, and the street was definitely not the place to talk.
Liu Xiaoyu was barefoot, so he walked slowly, and the three of them sauntered this way.
When they got to the Zhou Family residence, the servant saw the young miss and master bringing someone back and hurriedly brought out new slippers, making Liu Xiaoyu even more embarrassed.
"Mom and Dad, we’re back."
Qi Cheng and Zhou Chengze had just finished dinner and were sitting in the living room. When they heard the sound, they turned to look.
Seeing Liu Xiaoyu, as the hosts, they politely inquired: "Who is this?"
"Mom, this is my classmate. We just met on the road."
Although the Zhou Family abode was splendid, as hosts, both Qi Cheng and Zhou Chengze were quite affable, especially as he was their daughter’s classmate. After a few simple pleasantries, they wouldn’t interfere in the children’s affairs.
Zhou Qi took Liu Xiaoyu upstairs to his room, while Zhou Chengchen had the kitchen prepare something to eat, intending to send it up later.
Although Liu Xiaoyu was embarrassed and felt ashamed, he knew he needed to explain himself.
In Zhou Qi’s room, he washed his feet in the bathroom and splashed his face with water before finally speaking: "I ran away from home."
