Chapter 1252: Reunion of Friends
In fact, over the past three years, Zhou Chengchen hasn’t completely avoided seeing Xi Siyan. At that time, she acted on impulse, bought a plane ticket to travel, and then decided to stay in the United Kingdom to study.
But in her heart, there was still a last bit of unwillingness. If Zhou Chengchen was unwilling, she would definitely try again, even if it meant she had to go through a great deal of pain, she would still try again.
So in September, she finally bought a ticket and flew back.
Due to international time difference, Q University had already started classes, but her school hadn’t yet. Driven by the last strand of hope, she returned.
But in the picturesque Q University campus, she saw him in a white T-shirt walking into the Business School with Guo Yue.
A white T-shirt paired with a white skirt, the boy was slender and handsome, the girl graceful and elegant, creating an infinitely harmonious scene on the university campus.
The last bit of unwillingness vanished completely then. Zhou Chengchen remembered that day, the sky over B City was vividly blue and vast, the summer heat hadn’t completely subsided, but she felt utterly cold.
She buried her face into the pillow, rubbing hard. Seriously, why was she thinking of these unhappy things again.
It’s just a failed relationship; it’s not like the sky falling. Besides, it’s been so long.
Zhou Chengchen took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and went to sleep.
She hadn’t graduated yet, and now she was just on a break, so she would stay in B City for about ten days. Zhou Qi initially decided to pursue the dream he had once given up with An Rui, but after meeting Xi Siyan again, he wavered once more.
But after being persuaded by Zhou Chengchen, he finally made up his mind.
Being an e-sports player isn’t that easy, even though Zhou Qi had talent and a foundation, he hadn’t given up completely over these three years, but ultimately he was no match for those with professional training.
So these days, he’s almost inseparable from An Rui, the two of them tinkering with their own things.
Zhou Chengchen stayed home with her parents for a few days and didn’t go out. On the fourth day, she found a number she hadn’t dialed in three years and called it.
In fact, she wasn’t sure if the person had changed their number, she was just taking a chance.
The phone rang twice, and a gentle female voice came from the other side: "Hello, who’s this?"
"Little Rou’er..."
Zhou Chengchen smiled and spoke. There was a pause on the other end, and after a few seconds, a tentative, uncertain voice came through: "Cheng... Cheng... Cheng Chen?"
"Yes, it’s me."
There was another long silence, and then the gentle female voice had a hint of a sob: "Zhou Chengchen, you... you bad person."
Gentle and well-behaved like Xiao Rou, saying "you bad person" was the extent of her cursing.
Zhou Chengchen was touched, a bit choked up inside, and her smile grew brighter: "Yes, yes, I’m a bad person. Where are you now? Are you home for the holiday? Let’s meet?"
Zhou Chengchen and Xiao Rou agreed to meet at a hot pot restaurant they used to frequent.
"I didn’t expect this place to still be open."
Zhou Chengchen was stuck in traffic for a while, and when she went inside, Xiao Rou was already there.
The girl across from her had red eyes, clearly showing signs of having cried, yet her gentle face was glaring indignantly at her.
"Hey, hey, Little Rou’er, are you planning to cook me and eat me? That’s illegal."
Xiao Rou pouted: "Do you even know how to come back? After falling out with Xi Siyan, you didn’t even want me? Do you know I... I..."
