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

Zhou Chengchen sent a message to Zhou Qi, then followed Xi Siyan out of the school gate. They walked a stretch before reaching the music shop Xi Siyan had in mind, which also conveniently provided them with piano scores.

Zhou Chengchen was feeling down, with little expression on her face. However, having played the piano for so many years and having long achieved level ten, teaching was actually quite simple for her.

What surprised Zhou Chengchen, however, was that Xi Siyan wasn’t completely a beginner. He had a certain foundation, and there was no need to teach him fingering or sight-reading.

After teaching Xi Siyan for a while, Zhou Chengchen let him try playing by himself while she sat to the side.

Xi Siyan’s fingers were long and slender. Although he was unfamiliar, he played with exceptional seriousness.

Watching his profile, Zhou Chengchen suddenly understood the reason for her unease.

Because of the person in front of her!

Xi Siyan’s personality was very aloof; he rarely spoke to anyone. What she feared wasn’t not being able to see him, but that they would have no interaction once classes were divided into different groups.

He wasn’t someone who would reach out to others voluntarily. Zhou Chengchen firmly believed that if the classes were indeed split, they were highly likely to become strangers.

Even if she shamelessly kept following him around, she would eventually get tired, and it wouldn’t be very convenient.

Now, they were still desk mates, so it was easy. But what about later?

Although he had said things that seemed to show he liked her, he never made any promises to her.

She liked him so much, but he had never given her a clear answer. Isn’t that the root of her anxiety?

Zhou Chengchen lowered her head, her thoughts drifting far away again.

Until the piano sounds ceased, and Xi Siyan’s voice brought her back: "Like this?"

Zhou Chengchen snapped back to reality, nodding randomly. She hadn’t been listening just now.

After staying at the music shop for two hours, they left to find the sky had turned dark. In a rare moment of initiative, Xi Siyan spoke up, "Shall I treat you to dinner?"

Although Zhou Chengchen was still in a low mood, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse upon hearing Xi Siyan’s words, so she nodded.

"What do you want to eat?"

Zhou Chengchen had no appetite whatsoever. Scanning the surroundings, she suddenly remembered that they should be near Xi Siyan’s home. Thinking of the ginger syrup eggs he had cooked for her the other day, Zhou Chengchen pursed her lips, "I want to eat the ginger syrup eggs you made."

Both of them froze as soon as she said it. Xi Siyan frowned slightly, but seeing how dejected she had been all afternoon, he couldn’t bear to refuse and nodded, "Let’s go."

They wound their way through the alleys back to his place.

Of course, Xi Siyan didn’t just make her ginger syrup eggs; those weren’t suitable for dinner.

He opened his small fridge and prepared a simple meal with one meat, one vegetable, and a soup. Zhou Chengchen stood at the small kitchen door, watching his tall, lean back.

Xi Siyan’s movements were very skilled; it was clear he wasn’t a novice.

Zhou Chengchen belatedly thought of a question.

It seemed that both times she visited Xi Siyan’s place, she hadn’t seen his parents. From the setup of the room, there was no sign of anyone else living there.

There was only one pair of slippers, and only one toothbrush, making it clear there was no trace of another person.

As Xi Siyan placed the dishes on the small table, Zhou Chengchen couldn’t help but ask, "What about your parents? Aren’t they coming back?"

Xi Siyan’s hand paused briefly while setting the tableware, but quickly returned to normal, "They don’t live here."

"Oh."

Zhou Chengchen picked up a small bowl. Though she usually had a straightforward personality, she was perceptive enough to realize from Xi Siyan’s brief hesitation that the topic of his parents might not be a pleasant one.
