When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase
Chapter 1180: Public Display of AffectionMeeting An Rui at a swimming club, Zhou Qi had a sour face the whole time. When they got off the car, he tossed Zhou Chengchen’s backpack into Xi Siyan’s arms: "Here, you carry this."
But then he saw his own sister skip over happily and snatch the backpack from Xi Siyan’s hands: "You’re tired, I’ll carry it myself."
Damn! Is this preferential treatment?
When he rushed to carry it just now, why didn’t she feel so sorry for him?
Zhou Qi’s face turned even darker, but Xi Siyan calmly took the backpack back: "It’s okay."
Zhou Chengchen didn’t fight him for it and instead spoke with genuine concern: "Then let me treat you to some cold drinks later? I heard the cold drinks and barbecue here are pretty good, a good way to replenish energy."
Zhou Qi felt like he couldn’t take it anymore. What the heck? That backpack is light as a feather, it just had stuff for the final exams, how much can it really hold? Now it’s like it’s a ton.
Zhou Qi decided not to look at the two of them anymore, quickening his pace as he walked inside.
Once he walked away, Zhou Chengchen looked playfully at Xi Siyan: "Hehe, my brother seems upset."
Xi Siyan speechlessly patted Zhou Chengchen’s head. In the car, seeing that she was unhappy, he just humored her a bit, but this little girl got addicted to it.
Though speechless, there was an added hint of affection in Xi Siyan’s eyes.
Zhou Chengchen’s vibrant smile was even brighter than the sun overhead.
Entering the swimming club, it was quite upscale, offering both group sessions and private sessions.
An Rui had booked a private session, and it was one of the most luxurious ones, equipped with a diving platform and springboard.
The roof was all glass, so it felt outdoorsy despite being indoors.
Zhou Chengchen didn’t have a swimsuit with her, so she casually bought one here. Given Xi Siyan’s previous antics, she obediently bought the most conservative one.
After changing, she came out wrapped in a large bath towel.
In the pool, An Rui and Zhou Qi had already started the competition.
Zhou Chengchen walked to Xi Siyan’s side. He was in swimming trunks, also covered with a large bath towel, and holding a phone.
"What are you doing?"
"Timing."
Zhou Chengchen’s gaze returned to the two splashing in the pool.
She pouted, "My brother will definitely win."
"Hmm?"
"When he was eight, he was already the national children’s swimming champion. Back then, he loved swimming so much. My dad got him an Olympic champion retired coach."
Talking with Xi Siyan, her gaze was on Zhou Qi, completely oblivious to the slight change in the face of the person next to her.
Just now, Zhou Qi, after changing, came up to him and said they should compete; if he won, he could have Zhou Chengchen, without a word more. But if he lost, he shouldn’t even think about passing this barrier.
Turns out this guy was waiting to challenge him here.
Soon, Zhou Qi and An Rui came ashore, just as Zhou Chengchen had said, An Rui was no match for Zhou Qi.
"Si Yan, it’s our turn."
Zhou Qi came up, without even resting, he called out to Xi Siyan.
Xi Siyan handed the phone and towel to Zhou Chengchen, then slowly walked over.
Zhou Chengchen was momentarily dazzled by the sudden male presence.
Xi Siyan was thin, really thin, and very pale. His face had always been pale, but his body was even paler. Being so thin, it wasn’t clear if he had muscles, but Zhou Chengchen instinctively gulped. My goodness, what if she gets a nosebleed?
