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

The homeroom teacher took Zhou Chengchen to the office specifically established for the math competition. When they pushed the door open and entered, there weren’t many people inside.

Zhou Chengchen followed the homeroom teacher to the side of a young teacher who looked just over thirty: "Teacher Zhang, there’s something I need to tell you."

Zhang Yang, who was in charge of the math competition, listened to what the visitor had to say and then asked about Zhou Chengchen’s grades. Zhang Yang gave the same conclusion.

Zhou Chengchen’s grades were suitable for the college entrance examination, but not for competitions.

But Zhou Chengchen insisted.

Zhang Yang motioned for her to sit down first, then said earnestly, "Zhou, competitions are not as easy as you think. This road looks flashy, but very few people really make it to the end and achieve good results. It’s a path more challenging than the college entrance exam itself."

Zhou Chengchen nodded: "I understand, but I want to participate, teacher. I will work hard."

Her dark shiny eyes shone with a determined light.

The two teachers looked at each other, at a loss for what to say.

After exchanging glances for a while, they realized that dampening a student’s enthusiasm wasn’t good, but letting such a key student go down the one-way road of competitions wasn’t good either.

The two were silent for a moment, then there was a knock on the door: "May I come in?"

"Come in."

Zhang Yang snapped back to reality and, seeing who it was, his eyes lit up with a hint of delight: "Si Yan is here."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chengchen stiffened. She had wanted to participate in the competition without Xi Siyan knowing, but unexpectedly, Xi Siyan appeared there.

Xi Siyan, holding some test papers, let his gaze fall on Zhou Chengchen. His brows furrowed slightly before moving his gaze away and handling his business.

Learning that Zhou Chengchen was there to compete, Xi Siyan’s brow furrowed again, but he said nothing.

Because of Zhou Chengchen’s perseverance, Zhang Yang had no choice but to give her several competition problems to try first.

Zhou Chengchen returned to the classroom, and it wasn’t until the lunch break was nearly over that Xi Siyan came back.

There was no expression on his face, but inexplicably, Zhou Chengchen felt a bit guilty meeting his gaze.

Xi Siyan sat down at his seat, glanced at the papers in Zhou Chengchen’s hands, and finally spoke: "You’re going to enter the competition?"

Though he posed it as a question, the tone was really...

Zhou Chengchen had lost all the confidence and determination she had when facing the teacher, guiltily nodding her head.

"Why?"

Feeling even more guilty, Zhou Chengchen mumbled quietly, "I heard there’s going to be a competition class in the second year, and I..."

Her voice grew quieter, and the last few words were inaudible, but from just the first half of the sentence, Xi Siyan already knew what she was thinking.

Frowning instantly, he flipped the pen in his hand and tapped it lightly against Zhou Chengchen’s forehead: "Have you lost your mind?"

Zhou Chengchen abruptly looked up; in all the time she’d known Xi Siyan, this was the first time she’d heard such words from him.

Was he angry?

Zhou Chengchen felt a bit wronged. She just wanted to be in the same class as him, and this is what she got in return.

She puffed her cheeks, turned her head away, and ignored him.

Xi Siyan sighed lightly, looked around to see no one else was nearby, and lowered his voice: "Cheng Chen, what I want is the future."

His voice was soft, but Zhou Chengchen heard it clearly, and her previous sense of injustice turned into shock, then excitement.

What does he mean by wanting the future?

Zhou Chengchen, being so clever, instantly understood what Xi Siyan meant.
