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

Xi Siyan didn’t make a sound, instead he stopped walking. Above him, there was the hotel lighting not far away, the light from the street lamp ahead, and the moonlight jumping onto his shoulders.

Three types of flickering lights gathered together, concentrating on Xi Siyan, making his originally slim figure appear even slimmer.

At this moment, there was a trace of smile in his eyes, bright as stars, as he reached out and patted Zhou Chengchen’s head: "Hmm, I haven’t forgotten."

Zhou Chengchen smiled: "Hmm, that’s good."

——

Summer vacation is longer than winter break, and combined with B City’s oppressive heat, Zhou Chengchen spent most of her summer vacation cooped up at home. Ever since that gathering of four people, she hadn’t seen Xi Siyan much.

Occasionally, she wanted to ask him out to watch a movie or something, but Xi Siyan always declined.

But thankfully, he called her every day, sent her texts, seemingly never having left, so Zhou Chengchen wasn’t too disappointed.

Later, from An Rui’s mouth, she learned that Xi Siyan was working a temporary job.

He needed to earn money, the Li Family would still cover his tuition, Zhang Yi occasionally gave him some living expenses, but it wasn’t guaranteed, so Xi Siyan had to take care of it himself.

Though it sounded pitiful, it wasn’t really that bad, after all, whenever Zhang Yi gave him money, the amount was not small. It was sufficient for living, Xi Siyan was just using the free time to earn some extra, just in case.

But Zhou Chengchen felt heartache, she had money, the Zhou Family always followed a policy of pampering her, even a small part of her allowance was equivalent to an average student’s annual living expenses.

Yet she had it, but couldn’t give it.

This was thanks to Su Weiyi’s lesson, although Zhou Chengchen had never worried about food and clothing since she was little, and had no concept of money, she learned from Su Weiyi that money is something that can greatly affect a person’s dignity.

She certainly wouldn’t insult Xi Siyan’s self-esteem, and rationally she knew Xi Siyan wasn’t really at a dead end.

Just like An Rui said, in the worst case, Mrs. An was always there.

She simply felt pure heartache, heartache for the boy who had nothing yet always provided her with endless security, a feeling that even if the sky collapsed, he would bear it for her.

In the blink of an eye, August ended, September came, and high schools started to open.

Tenth grade marked a new term with class reorganization, Zhou Chengchen chose science to stay in her class, while Xiao Rou chose humanities and went to another class, with old faces leaving and new ones arriving.

Xi Siyan got his wish and joined the competition class, placed together with Zhou Qi.

The gathering of two handsome boys in tenth grade caused quite a stir at the beginning of school.

Due to class size issues, Zhou Chengchen no longer refused to have a desk mate. Her new desk mate was a girl from another class wearing glasses, average-looking, very thin and short, with short bob hair, looking like a bookworm.

It turned out, she really was a bookworm.

After all, being desk mates meant that even without deliberately paying attention, Zhou Chengchen could see many things.

For instance, she took notes in class meticulously, whatever the teacher said, she noted down, even recording the rare motivational lines from teachers.

Sometimes Zhou Chengchen felt speechless watching her.

Then every day’s homework errors, she would neatly transcribe them into a separate book for errors, with such diligence that it completely revamped Zhou Chengchen’s concept of good students.

She listened to lectures in class, did homework after class, practiced extracurricular exercises during lunch break, basically throughout the day, she was either doing homework or doing homework.
