Zhou Chengchen stared at Sheng Yanxiao’s back for a few seconds, then turned back and sighed to himself at how heartless he actually was.

As she looked at Sheng Yanxiao’s back now, she found that she didn’t feel heartbroken, just regretful. Sheng Yanxiao really liked Su Weiyi, and Su Weiyi probably did too, but the two of them just happened to have that kind of relationship.

Zhou Chengchen sighed and stepped into the room.

After showering, she lay on the bed. She hadn’t contacted Xi Siyan all day today, and Xi Siyan hadn’t reached out to her either.

Lying on the pillow, Zhou Chengchen bit her lip and ended up sending Xi Siyan a message. Not knowing what to send, she worried if she sent something like "Have you slept?" and he replied "Just about to, goodnight," how would the conversation continue?

After agonizing for a while and thinking about Sheng Yanxiao’s back, Zhou Chengchen sneakily typed a message: "I have a brother who really likes a sister, and then the sister left him silently and went abroad. He’s very sad now, how should I comfort him? Seeking advice from a guy."

After sending the message, inexplicably, Zhou Chengchen felt sick with herself. What’s with the brother and sister stuff? It almost made her dinner come back up.

But what made her more uneasy was that Xi Siyan surprisingly didn’t respond for a long time.

Could it be that he found it repulsive too?

Zhou Chengchen wanted to send another message, but didn’t know what to send. After more than half an hour, she couldn’t help but add: "Awaiting response."

But still, no reply. It was almost midnight.

Having walked around all afternoon, Zhou Chengchen was already a bit tired, and in a daze, she didn’t know when she just fell asleep.

Until the last second of drifting into dreamland, she still hadn’t received a reply from Xi Siyan.

And Xi Siyan?

Approaching midnight, he was slowly walking down a nearly empty street, his down jacket having a big tear from something, with feathers occasionally floating out.

Xi Siyan, however, seemed completely unaware.

He had finished his exams, and today he was called back by Zhang Yi to the Li Family for dinner. It had been fine until his brother, who shared at least half of the bloodline with him, suddenly started crying, accusing him of bullying him in front of Mrs. Li and Li Chengyuan.

As you can imagine...

Zhang Yi pleaded for a long time and got Xi Siyan to apologize to Mrs. Li and his brother, just managing to keep his small place outside as a home.

Xi Siyan didn’t care how they treated him, but the frustration and anger didn’t mean he didn’t have those feelings.

He’s ultimately just a teenager. Even if mature and stable, he’s still a normal person with normal emotions.

But when under someone’s roof, one must lower their head. Of course, he also wanted to heroically brush off all those people, saying if they wouldn’t support his studies, he’d manage himself, if they wanted him out on the streets, he’d endure, but could he really?

Rely on what? Rely on the An Family?

Though the An Family treats him well, one shouldn’t easily owe debts of gratitude.

He’s compromised. He compromised to those who never valued him, leaving Xi Siyan’s heart as cold as the winter night.

He essentially walked all the way from the Li Family to his place. The moment he entered the apartment and was enveloped by the warmth, he realized just how cold he had been.

His whole body was frozen stiff.
