Chapter 1273: Girlfriend
He had originally asked Liu Xiaoyu to convey the message to her, so there wasn’t any urgent need.
But neither of them expected Liu Xiaoyu to forget about it.
Immersed in the happiness of reconciliation, their minds finally returned to the main topic.
Zhou Chengchen was absolutely confident in Xi Siyan’s words, so... who sent the message?
"I remember you clearly said you wouldn’t go that day, so why did you go? Xiao Rou also told me you were with Guo Yue."
"I didn’t plan to go, but it just so happened that the competition class also had a dinner gathering at the same place. They ran into me and pulled me along, so I went for a while. By then, the competition class gathering was over, Guo Yue had a bit to drink, and I was responsible for seeing her into the car, so I took her there to sit for a while."
Xi Siyan wasn’t someone who was particularly enthusiastic, but he was definitely responsible. Zhou Chengchen didn’t ask, why was it you who saw Guo Yue to the car? He was reliable, and since there were few girls in the competition class, it wasn’t surprising for him to escort Guo Yue.
Zhou Chengchen’s eyelids lowered, and the past connected in a flash in her mind. She suddenly smiled: "When did you lose your phone?"
Xi Siyan shook his head: "I don’t remember."
"Think carefully, did you still have it when you went to the competition class gathering?"
"Yes."
This was something Xi Siyan could confirm. Although three years had passed, his memory hadn’t faded that much.
The smile on Zhou Chengchen’s face deepened, but it was cold, which made Xi Siyan frown.
"I think I know what’s going on."
"Hmm?"
Zhou Chengchen leaned closer to Xi Siyan’s ear and roughly explained her guess, and Xi Siyan’s expression also darkened: "Her?"
"Most likely, when I called you nobody answered, and when I texted there was no reply. Later I sent one last message telling you I’d wait for you at the nearby milk tea shop. I waited all night, but you didn’t come. When I left, I saw her."
Zhou Chengchen coldly laughed again: "As far as I know, her family doesn’t live near there. At that late hour, there’s nothing going on at school anymore. Her being there alone could be a coincidence, but more likely she wanted to say something to me."
Xi Siyan’s expression turned colder too. Did she wait all day for him? How cold must her heart have been?
"I’m sorry."
Pulling Zhou Chengchen back into his arms, after three years, he knew all too well what it was like to wait. He could entirely imagine her disappointment and even despair that day.
But Zhou Chengchen laughed again: "My intelligence must’ve all gone to the college entrance exam back then; I should have realized it couldn’t have been sent by you."
"Hmm?"
"You said ’let’s break up,’ but at the time we hadn’t clearly said we were together. No matter how good our relationship was, we weren’t formally a couple, right? Where’s there a breakup? I was truly foolish, getting played like that."
Xi Siyan paused, then looking into Zhou Chengchen’s sparkling eyes, he was silent for two seconds before he brought her hand to his heart: "Then... Miss Zhou, are you willing to be my girlfriend now? The kind that never separates?"
"...Yes."
Wait... why did the topic suddenly change so quickly? Onlookers were left bewildered.
But... who cares?
Whether three years ago or three years later, in Xi Siyan’s eyes, there was only Zhou Chengchen, and in Zhou Chengchen’s heart, there was only Xi Siyan, and that’s enough.
