Following Xi Siyan’s gaze, Zhou Chengchen could clearly see across the street, a woman holding a child, with something else in her hands, accompanied by an elderly man holding a little boy, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

The group approached the car, and Zhou Chengchen saw that the woman was in a fluster, juggling the child and other things, while also needing to open the car door for the elderly man.

It seemed like the elderly man complained a couple of times, and the woman kept bowing, as if apologizing.

Zhou Chengchen, of course, didn’t know the specifics or what was said over there, but from her perspective, it was apparent that they appeared to be a family - grandmother, parents, and two children, but the woman didn’t look like a mother; she looked more like a nanny.

Even though it probably wasn’t the case, it gave Zhou Chengchen that impression, and she immediately thought of her own mother.

She inherited much of her personality from her mother, who was carefree, yet her carefree mother without a hint of femininity was doted on by her father to the skies.

Everyone knew that the Zhou Family’s president was a fanatic for protecting his daughter, but in reality, he was first a fanatic for protecting his wife.

In situations where Zhou Chengchen had disagreements with others, her father would unhesitatingly side with her, but if the dispute was with her mother...

Then that fanatic for protecting his daughter would immediately switch sides.

In their family, the situation like across the street would never happen.

While Zhou Chengchen was silently criticizing, the person next to her spoke again: "Let’s go."

Xi Siyan had already looked away, his face expressionless as usual, but suddenly Zhou Chengchen felt like a layer of loneliness had covered his face.

If it were anyone else, they might not ask in such a situation even if curious, but not Zhou Chengchen; she directly asked, "Those people, you know them?"

Xi Siyan remained silent and said nothing, and only after walking a while did he speak, "That’s my mom."

Zhou Chengchen had guessed it was mostly correct, but when Xi Siyan said it, she was still a bit surprised.

She already knew most of Xi Siyan’s situation; when he said "that’s my mom," he naturally meant the woman she was silently critiquing earlier.

If that was his mother, it was clear who the middle-aged man, the elderly man, and the two kids were.

Zhou Chengchen suddenly felt more empathetic. What kind of situation would make them so close yet not even bother to say hello?

Zhou Chengchen pursed her lips and suddenly grabbed Xi Siyan’s wrist: "Let’s go, let’s go, we gotta move quickly; I’m starving."

Saying that, she actually dragged Xi Siyan and started running wildly in the street.

Xi Siyan had never been dragged and run wildly on the street like this in his life.

More importantly, he still had two backpacks on him right now; they weren’t heavy, but they were cumbersome.

Fortunately, Zhou Chengchen stopped after running for a while, gasping for breaths: "Xi classmate, dragging you along is so tiring; why don’t you run ahead, maybe then I’ll have some motivation."

Xi Siyan: "..."

Alright, he gave in to her again; wasn’t he the one who was tired?

The Snack Street arrived soon. Although called the Snack Street, it was actually many street vendors gathered by the government’s planning into one area for unified management. All lined up, it was quite lively.
