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

Obviously, with the intense training, they couldn’t use mobile phones. The school has always seen great importance in competitions, always winning gold medals, so they arranged both the venue and accommodations well.

Before leaving, Xi Siyan had a rare two-hour phone call with Zhou Chengchen. It really wasn’t that many days apart, yet inexplicably, it felt like a goodbye forever.

Xi Siyan couldn’t use his phone, but Zhou Chengchen still sent him a message every night: "Good luck, goodnight."

The extra training started before the vacation and lasted for half a month. Without Xi Siyan there, Zhou Chengchen devoted more time and energy to her studies.

Even the homeroom teacher, who Zhou Chengchen once nearly made burst with anger, started praising her in front of the whole class.

But Zhou Chengchen didn’t care about that. She just wanted to be closer to Xi Siyan, closer.

Soon, the final exam date was set, and the last day of the finals coincided with the competition Xi Siyan was to attend.

The additional training ended, and the two returned to their usual routine: having lunch together every day and occasionally seeing each other on weekends.

As long as there are things to do, time always flies by.

With the finals approaching, the competition class differed from the regular classes. They prepared for the finals while the competition class got two days off to adjust their mindset for the battle ahead.

On the last day of the finals, the same day as Xi Siyan’s competition, all the competitors left from the school together. Zhou Chengchen and Xi Siyan agreed to meet a bit earlier at school to see each other.

"Xi, good luck!"

"Mm."

There wasn’t much to say upon meeting, just a brief eye contact, and Zhou Chengchen could only squeeze out these simple words of blessing.

Yet it didn’t seem enough. She glanced around, seeing no one, stood on tiptoes, and gave Xi Siyan a peck on the cheek: "Good luck!"

Xi Siyan’s lips curved slightly, displaying all the tenderness in his deep eyes.

He placed his hand on Zhou Chengchen’s head, said nothing, paused for a few seconds before saying: "I’m off."

Zhou Chengchen watched Xi Siyan’s departing figure, suddenly feeling as if they had known each other for a very long time—decades, a lifetime, or perhaps several lifetimes.

Had they not known each other for long?

But that’s how it felt.

Over a year, she changed a lot, he changed a lot too; they both were getting better for the sake of Xi Siyan’s once spoken words, "Cheng Chen, what I want is the future."

Zhou Chengchen had a smile on her face, but her heart was tumultuous with indescribable emotions.

Keep fighting, you can definitely do it!

Xi Siyan boarded the school-arranged bus, where Zhou Qi was already seated and greeted him with a resentful expression: "Hey, girls really stray when they grow up. Cheng Chen didn’t even say good luck to me."

Xi Siyan ignored Zhou Qi and felt the lingering warmth where Zhou Chengchen had kissed him.

"Hey, hey, hey, what’s with the smug smile?"

Zhou Qi pushed the person beside him, obviously displeased, and Xi Siyan finally looked back at him.

After a two-second silence, he said, "Hmm, she said a few words to me, want me to share one with you?"

"Oh, damn! Just go away, go away, go away!"

Zhou Qi, finished!

He was infuriated.

Zhou Qi thought he was probably the most miserable brother. Other sisters were the apple of their brother’s eye, but his, sigh... sigh... sigh!

Swayed by beauty and forgetting her brother!

He must take her home and educate her properly. Besides, is his appearance that much inferior to this guy beside him?
