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

"You..."

Zhou Chengchen just felt a surge of blood in her chest, and two words popped into her mind: shameless, sly.

This guy... this guy... Zhou Chengchen glared at him angrily, turned her head, and refused to look at him again.

Xi Siyan... this guy really lives up to the reputation of a Scorpio, known for his slyness.

Zhou Chengchen sulked for a while, just as her temper subsided a bit, she caught a glimpse of the slight smile at the corner of Xi Siyan’s mouth, and her anger flared up again.

Zhou Chengchen started drawing circles, what’s this about?

She wanted to be desk mates with him, and his suggestion indeed allowed them to be desk mates, but why was she feeling so angry inside? Yet amidst the anger, she also felt a bit like laughing.

Amused and annoyed?

After a few turns in her mind, Zhou Chengchen finally understood; she hadn’t thought of any reason that would legitimately allow them to sit together, but Xi Siyan had.

But he just wouldn’t say, making her think he had used some twisting, winding method, resulting in her being overly grateful in the morning, and what happened after that?

Sly, sly, sly!

As lunch break neared its end, Zhou Chengchen took a nap on the desk, and when the class bell rang, she groggily opened her eyes.

In her vision appeared a cup of milk tea and a box of egg tarts.

Hmm?

Zhou Chengchen looked at it, the milk tea was wrapped in a plastic bag, and she could vaguely see a sticky note on the cup.

Zhou Chengchen’s first reaction was whether someone came to show kindness again?

But thinking it through, it shouldn’t be. When she first joined the school, thanks to her good looks, Zhou Chengchen did have many admirers, but later on, when those people unintentionally learned of her past achievements, they gradually disappeared.

Some who were persistent also disappeared to who knows where after being mercilessly rejected by her, and later... there was nothing after that.

Now someone’s back?

Zhou Chengchen reached out and pulled down the plastic bag, becoming dumbfounded at the sight of the words on it. The clean and neat handwriting carried an aura of aloofness; if this wasn’t Xi Siyan’s handwriting, whose was it?

[Milk tea for you, egg tarts for you, don’t be mad, okay?]

Zhou Chengchen blankly looked at the person beside her, wanting to reach out to check if he had a fever. As Xi Siyan just put down his pen and turned around, their eyes met.

Zhou Chengchen immediately admitted defeat. At this moment, Xi Siyan had no expression on his face, but his eyes clearly carried a smile, appearing exceptionally profound. Damn, she already liked him, and with such charming eyes, how could she resist?

Zhou Chengchen bit her teeth hard, recalling what Xi Siyan said on New Year’s Eve, "Be reserved."

So, Zhou Chengchen mustered great effort to break precedent and made herself appear reserved: "A cup of milk tea, a box of egg tarts, and you expect me not to be mad? Xi, your apology lacks sincerity."

Xi Siyan paused, reached into his pocket, and took out a candy: "Then, add a candy?"

"Okay!"

When Xi Siyan spoke, even the usual cold tone carried a hint of grievance, and with these words, Zhou Chengchen completely gave in.

Immediately defeated, in fact, she had been completely defeated long ago.

Mad at him?

Impossible in this lifetime, right?

While drinking milk tea and eating egg tarts, seeing the person next to her, Zhou Chengchen felt sweet inside. Great, Xi Siyan always appeared cold to others, yet she unlocked his caring attribute, now she unlocked his sly attribute, what would be next?
