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

Since they were not in the same class anymore, they only gathered together during lunchtime. Xi Siyan, Zhou Qi, Zhou Chengchen, and Xiao Rou sat at a small table in the cafeteria, spending the first week of school venting about things happening in their respective classes.

Having lunch together was something Xi Siyan had promised Zhou Chengchen, but it wasn’t just the two of them. Xiao Rou hadn’t made any friends in her arts class and still came to find Zhou Chengchen at noon. Zhou Qi was in the same class as Xi Siyan, so the four of them ate together.

To Zhou Chengchen, this scene was actually very heartwarming: the boy she liked, her close friends, and her brother, who, despite their banter, adored her, were all by her side.

After removing the arts subjects, the grades of many originally slanted science students quickly surged.

Zhou Chengchen’s rank dropped significantly as she had never paid much attention to studying, but now she had to start taking it seriously.

She didn’t want to compare herself with anyone, but she didn’t want to fall too far behind Xi Siyan.

From Zhou Qi’s words, Zhou Chengchen knew that Xi Siyan’s results were among the top even in the competition class.

The first monthly exam scores came out, and for the first time, Zhou Chengchen dropped from the top five to eighth place in her class, feeling downhearted for an entire morning as if it were eighth from the bottom instead of the top.

"You did really well."

Beside her, the well-behaved student Zhang Xiao looked at Zhou Chengchen’s scores and commented.

Zhou Chengchen pouted, "Not good at all."

Zhang Xiao glanced at her and then at her own scores, silently tucking them into her drawer.

This monthly exam had a benchmarking nature, and she ranked tenth in the class, feeling quite satisfied as everyone knew the top ten would receive extra attention from the teachers.

Seeing Zhou Chengchen’s upset expression despite her eighth place, Zhang Xiao kept her silence and continued to do her exercises.

That day after school, Zhou Chengchen instructed the driver to stop at the bookstore, then dashed inside to buy a pile of practice books and carried them out.

Zhou Qi, who was originally playing a game in the back seat, was startled when Zhou Chengchen came out and dumped a heap of workbooks onto the back seat, "Whoa, what are you up to?"

Zhou Chengchen had already settled back in her seat, not even glancing at Zhou Qi, "I’m going to buckle down and work hard."

Zhou Qi was stunned, looking at Zhou Chengchen with a "What got into you?" expression.

Zhou Chengchen was naturally smart; she hadn’t put much effort before, but now that she was focused, her efficiency was high. She could complete most of the assignments teachers gave while still at school, then finish up at home and start on some extracurricular exercises.

Talking about pure sciences, math was relatively her weak point, but coincidentally, Xi Siyan participated in math competitions, and so did Zhou Qi.

Anything Zhou Chengchen didn’t understand could be resolved in a minute by asking the two of them.

Her change was visible to Zhou Qi every day, and even Xi Siyan was a bit surprised.

He hadn’t forgotten that when he first met this girl, her textbooks and papers had none of the tidiness you’d expect from a girl. Those papers were tossed into her drawer haphazardly as if they were pickled veggies.

As for homework, she was adept at finding loopholes, often missing one or two assignments as teachers wouldn’t pursue it, and now she was even voluntarily doing extracurricular problems?

Moreover, importantly, Zhou Chengchen no longer frequently said "I like you" or "Xi, you’re so handsome."
