Chapter 1232: A Long-Awaited Wish Fulfilled
Not long after the Spring Festival ended, the extra classes for the third year of high school started again, and simultaneously, the competition results also came out.
Because it was still holiday time, the results were not announced to the whole school, but they spread throughout the entire third year.
Xi Siyan and Guo Yue got recommended for Q University with first prize in the competition. Besides him, a few others with good scores also got the chance to be recommended.
Zhou Qi was among them, but with Xi Siyan’s halo shining so bright, the others’ lights seemed dim in comparison.
Zhou Chengchen was undoubtedly the happiest when he learned about the news and immediately called for a proper celebration after school.
An Rui also got the news and said he’d come along. Zhou Chengchen also invited Liu Xiaoyu, and the five of them found a barbecue place to sit down. An Rui boldly called to the waiter, "A dozen beers, please."
Zhou Qi was in a good mood too. He participated in the competition more for interest rather than any particular result.
But at this moment, Young Master Zhou was keeping a straight face, attributing his not getting first place to the fact that when Zhou Chengchen cheered for him, Xi Siyan had an extra exclamation mark.
Zhou Chengchen rolled his eyes at him, unhesitatingly retorting, "My dear brother, if you can’t do it, just admit it, don’t throw the blame on me. Do you even feel any shame?"
"Zhou Chengchen, who are you saying can’t do it?"
"You, who else could it be?"
In between the dishes arriving, the siblings were engaged in a war of words and teasing each other. Obviously, everyone was joking and in a good mood.
"Come on, come on, no classes tomorrow, let’s not go home until we’re drunk today."
An Rui opened a bottle of beer and cheered. It was Liu Xiaoyu’s first time gathering with them in this way. Already shy by nature, he felt even shyer, quickly waving his hands, "No, no, I don’t need it, I can’t drink."
"Huh? Can’t drink?"
Liu Xiaoyu adjusted his glasses and gave an awkward smile.
An Rui wasn’t someone who couldn’t read the room, and since he said so, he didn’t insist. Just as he was about to pour wine for Xi Siyan beside him, unexpectedly, Xi Siyan also said, "I’m not drinking."
"Huh? Why not? You’re the main character today."
"I don’t feel like it."
Xi Siyan wasn’t someone who couldn’t drink. In fact, he had a decent tolerance, but since he said so, An Rui didn’t insist, though he felt a bit disappointed.
In the end, he and Zhou Qi finished all those beers, and when they left the restaurant, the two of them were already a bit wobbly.
Zhou Chengchen had called ahead, and the Zhou family driver had arrived. Since Xi Siyan’s place wasn’t far, he went alone, and the others were sent back one by one by the Zhou family driver.
Back at his place, Xi Siyan looked at the admission notice on the table, leaned against the back of the chair, and let out a long breath. He got it, finally got it.
After sitting in the chair for a while, he put the notice in the drawer, got up to take a shower, and when he came out, his phone kept ringing. Seeing the caller ID, Xi Siyan frowned.
He picked up, his face expressionless, and whatever the person on the other end said, he merely responded with an indifferent "Mm."
Just after hanging up, the phone rang again. With his eyes closed, Xi Siyan rubbed his forehead, not even checking it, answering with a deep and cold voice, "What is it now?"
From the other end, Zhou Chengchen’s lively voice rang out, "Hey, Classmate Xi, let me tell you, Zhou Qi has gone crazy, singing on the main street."
