Chapter 1233: I’m Proud of You
Xi Siyan’s brow relaxed, and his eyes were no longer as cold as before, even carrying a bit of a smile: "Hmm?"
"I’ll let you hear it."
Zhou Chengchen took the phone away, and vaguely, Xi Siyan could hear the indistinct babbling from the other side, quite obviously Zhou Qi was drunk and rambling.
Xi Siyan smiled without saying a word. Soon, Zhou Chengchen took the phone back: "Xi, we’ve arrived home."
"Hmm."
"Get some rest early, um... and also... you’re really amazing, I’m proud of you."
After Zhou Chengchen finished speaking, she quickly hung up the call.
On this end, Xi Siyan was still holding the phone as if he was still on the call.
She said, I’m proud of you.
These five words, perhaps many people have heard them, but no one could feel them the way Xi Siyan did.
Zhou Chengchen was proud of him, Xi Siyan.
Xi Siyan’s adam’s apple bobbed, as if choked with emotion.
No one had ever been proud of him before, neither his father nor his mother.
And now, his beloved, the little princess adored by thousands, high above most people in society, told him she was proud of him.
Xi Siyan’s lips curled into a smile, and continued to rise.
The first prize in the competition, he accepted calmly, the guarantee of admission obtained, long-cherished wish fulfilled, he remained calm.
For these things, he put in efforts beyond the ordinary, what was wrong with him?
So he was calm, but now, Xi Siyan could not remain calm, what could be more fulfilling than her words?
Xi Siyan put away his phone, looked down and smiled, turns out, such things really exist in this world.
There will be someone who appears, allowing you to forgive all past injustices.

The news about the direct admission spread throughout the school during the opening of the new semester.
Xi Siyan undoubtedly became the object of everyone’s praises, his aloof persona, his unmatched talent, and handsome appearance.
He had already won the hearts of many girls, and for a moment, his reputation soared even higher.
But there was another person who also became a notable figure, in fact, she always was, though beauty seems to attract more attention among boys, and boys aren’t as gossipy as girls.
So in many schools, although school belles exist, at first glance the attention towards school heroes seems higher.
Guo Yue, who stood alongside Xi Siyan, also winning first prize.
Her reputation at this moment was even greater than Xi Siyan’s because she’s a girl.
And a rather good-looking girl at that.
Zhou Chengchen didn’t know this person, and as to whether she had heard her name, she didn’t know because she never paid attention.
Only now on the school bulletin board, the enlarged ID photos of Guo Yue and Xi Siyan were listed side by side.
Naturally, there were many gossipers tying them together.
"Talented man and beautiful woman" they say, certainly many people said, but there was even more talk about them not only having looks but talent as well, winning first prize in the mathematics competition, how well-matched they were.
These rumors, no one knew where they came from, but they reached Zhou Chengchen’s ears.
To say she cared, not really, but to say she was unhappy, that was definitely there.
Who likes their beloved being paired with someone else?
Especially with Zhou Chengchen’s lively personality.
If she was unhappy, she would say it directly. While having lunch together, Zhou Chengchen bit her chopsticks, looking at Xi Siyan.
