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

On the first day of the New Year, Young Master Zhou kept a sullen face throughout.

After having lunch, An Rui and Zhou Qi each went back home, but Zhou Chengchen didn’t hurry to leave, following Xi Siyan to his place instead.

Once inside, Xi Siyan poured her a glass of water, then went to the bedroom to retrieve the gloves he bought yesterday.

He also bought a gift bag, giving it a simple wrap.

"For me?"

Handing the gift bag to Zhou Chengchen, Xi Siyan stayed calm outwardly, but his ears blushed a little.

"Yes."

Zhou Chengchen’s eyes lit up, and she quickly took it: "What is it?"

Opening the bag, she pulled out the fluffy gloves, her smile growing even brighter: "They’re beautiful."

"Happy New Year."

Xi Siyan spoke, and Zhou Chengchen hurriedly put them on. She could tell they were just a cheap pair of gloves, but she liked them, really liked them.

Hugging the gift, contentedly heading home, Zhou Chengchen very carefully placed the gloves inside her drawer.

Her drawer was like a treasure chest, full of many expensive pieces of jewelry she had received over the years, but now the most dazzling item in it was the pair of fluffy gloves.

A girl is really easy to please, whether expensive like diamonds or cheap like lollipops, as long as they’re from the right person, they’re like stars in the sky, unparalleled in brilliance.

Zhou Chengchen daydreamed for a while, the smile on her face undiminished.

She never thought she would meet someone, someone she liked so very much.

With his presence, she looked forward to each coming day, to the things that might happen, to spending every day with him.

There was nothing important during winter break; Zhou Qi mostly oscillated between gaming with An Rui and tackling practice problems, while Zhou Chengchen went downtown twice with Xiao Rou and either stayed at home or went out to study with Xi Siyan.

As March approached, a new semester began. On the first day back at school, Zhou Chengchen learned of Zhang Xiao’s class transfer.

She was just an ordinary student, and at such a critical second-year moment, no parents would let their child transfer schools, sacrificing their future.

So she just switched classes, and Zhou Chengchen glanced at the empty seat beside her without much feeling. These days the class rosters were set; Zhang Xiao transferred out, and someone else transferred in.

Zhou Chengchen’s new deskmate was a boy named Liu Xiaoyu, also one with glasses, very slim, but not too short.

Being from another class, Zhou Chengchen didn’t know him and wasn’t inclined to make small talk. Although she liked lively scenes, she wasn’t one to initiate closeness with others.

Except for Xi Siyan.

Zhou Chengchen treated Liu Xiaoyu as a regular deskmate, rarely talking, while Liu Xiaoyu often took the opportunity to observe her when she wasn’t looking. At first, Zhou Chengchen didn’t mind, but after a week of this, she was a bit annoyed.

Finally, catching Liu Xiaoyu looking at her again, Zhou Chengchen spoke up: "Classmate? Is there a flower on my face?"

"Huh?"

"Huh, what? There’s no flower blooming on my face. What are you looking at?"

Liu Xiaoyu was a bit shy, his cheeks quickly turned red, but he stayed relatively composed, lowering his voice as he spoke softly: "Are you... really Xi Siyan’s girlfriend?"

Zhou Chengchen was taken aback, not expecting Liu Xiaoyu to say that, but recalling how Zhang Xiao had once confronted her, Zhou Chengchen immediately frowned: "Is it any of your business?"
