When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Zhou Chengchen slowly lifted her head and saw that Xi Siyan had already crouched down in front of her. He was wearing only his school uniform, while the clothing carrying his warmth and scent was wrapped around her.

The tears that had stubbornly refused to fall earlier were now unstoppable.

With a loud "wah," Zhou Chengchen burst into tears, her head resting against Xi Siyan’s chest, tears streaming down like broken pearls.

She didn’t like crying; she never liked it since she was little.

At home, she was the little princess adored by everyone, and no one would bully her. Even if she occasionally did something wrong and was punished by her mother, she wouldn’t cry. If she realized she was at fault, she would admit it herself. If she was misunderstood, she would argue her case.

Outside, she was the formidable Brother Chen, and no one dared to bully her. Even if someone did, she could swiftly and decisively fight back.

In Zhou Chengchen’s eyes, crying was the most useless thing in the world.

Could shedding tears really prevent one from being bullied?

The saying "a crying child gets fed" simply did not apply to Zhou Chengchen.

But now, for some inexplicable reason, at the moment Xi Siyan appeared, she felt all her grievances surge to the peak.

Looking at the person who threw herself into his embrace, Xi Siyan didn’t know what to do for a moment.

Why did he come out?

He had to admit it was because of worry. The mere thought of how Zhou Chengchen looked just now made Xi Siyan’s heart roil with anger and frustration, making it impossible for him to sit still.

So he came out, and he found her.

But now, as he watched her cry sorrowfully in his arms, Xi Siyan realized he had no idea what to do.

After a long pause, he finally reached out to press Zhou Chengchen’s shoulder. To his surprise, this only made her cry harder.

Xiao Rou had left at some point, leaving just the two of them on the rooftop.

Zhou Chengchen cried until she was exhausted and finally quieted down. Her eyes were red and swollen as she looked at Xi Siyan with her tear-streaked face, her voice choked with sobs, "You... please don’t hate me, I didn’t mean to misunderstand her, it wasn’t... wasn’t intentional."

Zhou Chengchen was beautiful, with a striking kind of beauty. When she smiled, it was like the warm sun that didn’t invite pity but rather drew people closer.

But now, this was definitely the ugliest Xi Siyan had ever seen her.

Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, her face flushed, and it was hard to distinguish whether the mess on her face was tears or snot, but either way, she looked disheveled.

Yet this small face struck right at the softest part of Xi Siyan’s heart.

The urge to shield her from harm and protect her from all adversity grew even stronger.

Xi Siyan pulled out a tissue from his pocket and gently wiped away the tears from Zhou Chengchen’s face.

The young girl choked and shed a few more tears, causing Xi Siyan’s mouth to curl slightly upwards in a helpless smile. He hadn’t realized she was capable of crying so much.

Xi Siyan’s fingers were icy cold, their chill starkly contrasting with Zhou Chengchen’s burning tears.

But Zhou Chengchen wasn’t doing any better; her hair was still wet, and she couldn’t afford to stay here and catch a cold.

Xi Siyan stuffed the tissue into Zhou Chengchen’s hand and then took out his phone to call the homeroom teacher.

Zhou Chengchen didn’t listen to what he said, just knew that shortly afterward, Xi Siyan returned, "Do you want to go with me?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Chengchen didn’t hesitate and immediately responded.

Class wasn’t over yet, so there weren’t many people on campus. As they walked to the school gate, Xi Siyan made another call, handed his phone to the security guard, and after a few words from the guard, they were allowed to pass.
