Chapter 1214: Kabedon
Xi Siyan’s face remained calm, but being a fellow guy, how could Zhou Qi not see the raging waves hidden beneath Xi Siyan’s calm surface?
However, Zhou Qi would never interfere; he’s seen their relationship with his own eyes.
Though teenage feelings don’t necessarily last, at least for now, they see each other in each other’s eyes.
Zhou Qi took a slow sip of water, glancing at Xi Siyan, a slight smile on his lips, saying nothing.
Meanwhile, Xi Siyan’s fingers paused on his phone screen. He stayed unmoving for a long time, eventually putting the phone away, and gave a wry smile. Seriously, she was actively trying to make peace, so what could he possibly still hold against her?
Soon it was time for school to let out, and Xi Siyan and Zhou Qi had just reached the staircase when they saw Zhou Chengchen waiting there.
Zhou Chengchen was clearly in a great mood, jumping swiftly in front of them, beaming brightly.
Zhou Qi glanced at his sister and put an arm around Xi Siyan’s shoulder: "Looks like I’ll be going home alone again today, so sad, let’s go."
As he spoke, Zhou Qi already started walking downstairs with large strides, as Zhou Chengchen pursed her lips at him, then turned to Xi Siyan: "Let’s go too."
As they just reached the first floor, Zhou Chengchen suddenly heard someone calling her. When she turned around, it was Liu Xiaoyu, rushing over with her water bottle: "You... you forgot your bottle."
Zhou Chengchen smiled as she took the bottle from Liu Xiaoyu: "Thanks, how about you, shall we go together?"
Zhou Chengchen glanced at Xi Siyan, then back at Liu Xiaoyu, it was just a polite gesture; even if together, they’d only walk as far as the school gate.
Who knew Liu Xiaoyu glanced at Xi Siyan and stammered out: "Hi, Master."
Then she hurriedly disappeared.
Zhou Chengchen’s gaze followed Liu Xiaoyu’s departing figure, muttering to herself, oh come on, that’s too shy.
After all, everyone at the end of the day is just classmates, yet he put himself at such a low posture, just how much does this guy admire Xi Siyan?
Zhou Chengchen pouted, completely oblivious to the increasingly cold expression beside her, Xi Siyan’s fists clenched, already striding in that direction, Zhou Chengchen snapped back to reality, quickly catching up: "Xi, wait up for me."
Xi Siyan’s pace didn’t slow in the slightest, walking steadily ahead. Zhou Chengchen, not paying much attention, was chattering on: "Did you see Liu Xiaoyu’s face just now? So red! I knew he was shy, but didn’t expect him to be this shy. Wow, turns out when boys are shy, girls are nothing compared to them."
All the way from the school, they walked to Xi Siyan’s place, a short distance, Xi Siyan’s hands had clenched and unclenched countless times.
Finally reaching the place, Zhou Chengchen continued to babble about recent events. She didn’t intentionally bring up Liu Xiaoyu again, just discussing recent happenings, but since Liu Xiaoyu was her deskmate, it was only natural he came up.
And the name "Liu Xiaoyu" was particularly clear in Xi Siyan’s ears, ignoring everything else Zhou Chengchen said.
Entering the room, Zhou Chengchen was talking about the midterm exams when suddenly, she felt her arm being grabbed. Before she could react, she found herself pinned against the door.
"Xi..."
Zhou Chengchen started to speak, but before she could say anything, Xi Siyan released her, turning to head into the bathroom.
