Zhang Hua was obviously feeling guilty, but still forced himself to raise his head and looked at Zhou Chengchen: "What are you talking about? I don’t understand."

Zhou Chengchen smiled again: "Your language skills really need improvement."

Then, Zhou Chengchen bent down, got very close to Zhang Hua in a very suggestive posture, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you want to become the next Chen Youran or Zhang Xiao, go ahead and scheme. I have plenty of ways to ruin you."

The posture was suggestive, but Zhang Hua felt a chill down his spine.

Few of the classmates knew Zhou Chengchen’s background, but it was clear that she was someone with connections, a fact that wasn’t hard to discern.

Zhang Hua’s face instantly turned very ugly, but Zhou Chengchen no longer paid him any attention and stepped back to her seat.

Zhou Chengchen didn’t tell Xi Siyan about this incident, but he found out anyway, as he sat next to a gossip transmitter.

After Zhou Qi finished recounting the matter, he added, "I bet you’re planning to make things official with my family Cheng Chen after the college entrance exam, right? Have you decided where to go? Better not end up in a long-distance relationship right after becoming official."

Xi Siyan turned his head to look at Zhou Qi, as if pondering something.

Zhou Qi spoke again: "Don’t say I didn’t warn you. That girl Cheng Chen, although a bit slow and stupid, has DNA quite similar to mine, and her looks are no lie. When she gets to university, those who fancy her will definitely increase, not decrease."

Zhou Qi seemed unruly, but he was actually very meticulous, while Xi Siyan appeared to be extraordinarily mature for his age. The problems Zhou Qi thought of, he certainly could think of too.

In fact, ever since Zhou Chengchen mentioned the issue of where to apply, Xi Siyan had been thinking about it.

And now, he had almost made up his mind.

Another week passed, and after school on Saturday, Xi Siyan sent a message to Zhou Chengchen earlier, and the two arranged to have dinner together.

The time was now early autumn, and although the weather showed no sign of cooling, it was getting dark earlier and earlier.

After dawdling over dinner and then walking along the street for a while, it was almost dark.

Zhou Chengchen held a bowl of stir-fried rice cakes in her hand, still eating, while Xi Siyan carried both his and her backpacks, occasionally bringing a drink to Zhou Chengchen’s lips.

"Don’t you have something to tell me today?"

Zhou Chengchen spoke indistinctly while eating.

Xi Siyan didn’t respond at first. He noticed some spicy sauce at the corner of Zhou Chengchen’s mouth and wiped it off with a tissue, before finally saying: "Apply to Q University."

"Huh?"

"I’ll receive a guaranteed spot at Q University, so apply to Q University."

Zhou Chengchen blinked. She could sense the seriousness in Xi Siyan’s demeanor when he said this, but what was there to be serious about?

Wasn’t it perfectly normal for Xi Siyan to apply to Q University? She thought about it before, or was he worried she wouldn’t get in?

Zhou Chengchen nodded: "Alright, I’ll apply to Q University."

She didn’t know that what seemed to her like just a decision, wasn’t that simple for Xi Siyan.

He hadn’t set his goal for various reasons, but the most important one was that he wanted to see which university offered the highest scholarship based on his competition scores before deciding where to go.

The subtle differences in school rankings weren’t Xi Siyan’s primary concern.

Personally, he actually wanted to leave B City, as university life represented an entirely new life for him, and he really didn’t want much connection with the past.
