Chapter 1222: Walk the Path With You
On the other end of the phone, Xi Siyan was silent for a moment before speaking: "Walk your path."
"Clang," the phone slipped from Zhou Chengchen’s hand and fell to the ground. After freezing for two seconds, Zhou Chengchen quickly picked it up. Thanks to its high quality, the call wasn’t interrupted. Zhou Chengchen eagerly spoke: "What... What did you just say? I didn’t catch it, say it again."
"Walk the path you should walk."
Xi Siyan’s voice came through faintly, and Zhou Chengchen immediately pouted: "That’s not it."
"That’s exactly what I said."
"No!"
"Then you tell me what I said."
"You said walk your path."
"Hmm, thanks, me too."
"Clang," the phone fell to the ground again. This time Zhou Chengchen didn’t rush to pick it up—something felt off.
After freezing for two seconds, he quickly grabbed the phone again: "Oh, Xi, you can’t be so heartless."
On the other end, Xi Siyan chuckled lightly, and after chatting a few more casual sentences, they hung up the call.
Xi Siyan looked at the phone in his hand, a slight smile playing at the corners of his lips. The path to the future?
Of course, it could only be a path with her.

Liu Xiaoyu spent a night at the Zhou Family’s house and obediently returned home early the next morning.
Zhou Chengchen watched his distant figure and sighed: "In the end, he’s still a good kid."
Zhou Qi glanced at her from the side: "How is it that such a well-behaved person, after sitting next to you, even ends up running away from home?"
"Zhou Qi, your sister! Want to fight?"
"My sister? My sister is you."
"You, you, you, come over here. If I don’t beat you today, I’ll take your surname."
"Easy, easy. You already have my surname."
Scenes of sibling bickering like this were commonplace at home. Qi Cheng sighed, leaning on the man beside her: "Honey, could we have switched babies at the hospital? How did we give birth to such lively kids when we have such quiet genes?"
"Hmm, maybe we should check."
The two people who were still joking around instantly paused, simultaneously looking at the couple sitting on the couch, remembering their words.
Zhou Qi and Zhou Chengchen exchanged a glance, speaking in unison: "No need to check, definitely no switch. Seeing how shameless they are, they’re definitely your biological children."
Narrative voice: Ahem, Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, do you really think no one knows your embarrassing past? Where do you get the nerve to say "quiet genes"?

The summer vacation after sophomore year usually ends early, to prepare for the upcoming junior year.
On the first day of arriving at school, due to the appearance of important classes, the number of students in each class was slightly adjusted, though the class teacher at this point wouldn’t bother with switching seats.
After all, it’s junior year, and what teachers can really teach becomes minimal. More depends on the students themselves.
Zhou Chengchen naturally continued to sit with Liu Xiaoyu, since they had gotten used to it.
After the incident, Zhou Chengchen hadn’t seen Liu Xiaoyu throughout the holiday nor had they kept in touch much. Seeing him now, he still had that shy and obedient appearance, except the signature round glasses had changed, making him look a bit less cute but more scholarly.
"Morning."
"Morning."
Liu Xiaoyu smiled at Zhou Chengchen, then she watched him take two thick notebooks out of his backpack and place them in front of her.
