Chapter 1351: The Attention Back Then

Xi Siyan smiled but said nothing, though his meaning was already quite clear.

This was indeed what Zhou Chengchen wanted him to extract from Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi also smiled, "There’s no why, impossible just means impossible."

"Really?"

Xi Siyan was not Zhou Chengchen, he wouldn’t ask something as pointless as "what does impossible just means impossible mean," he simply calmly retorted.

Zhou Qi fell silent. After a long while, he suddenly said, "Don’t you know?"

"Hmm?"

Xi Siyan was taken aback. Zhou Qi’s words were too inexplicable, and for a moment, he didn’t quite understand. As a result, Zhou Qi had already withdrawn his gaze and didn’t continue.

In the end, he only gave Xi Siyan a sentence: "Tell Cheng Chen not to worry needlessly, I know what I’m doing."

Of course, Xi Siyan wouldn’t ask more questions, he nodded.

Zhou Qi returned to his room, still holding the beer Xi Siyan had just handed him. He walked to the balcony and looked out at the night, his eyes becoming somewhat dazed.

Because of Zhou Chengchen, he indeed knew Xiao Rou much earlier. Zhou Qi wasn’t someone who would deliberately suppress his emotions, but back then, he really didn’t think much of Xiao Rou.

To him, she was just a good friend of his younger sister, nothing more.

Even though he was just a teenager at that time, with his status and position, Zhou Qi had seen countless beauties and heiresses.

Glamorous, pure, sweet, fiery, you name it.

It’s not that he was against young love, he just didn’t have that intention.

Moreover, beside Zhou Chengchen, Xiao Rou really had little presence.

She wasn’t as pretty as Zhou Chengchen, nor as lively, plus her personality was gentle and quiet, following Zhou Chengchen she was more like a girl carrying the bag.

He knows quite well when he truly noticed her.

It wasn’t during their initial contact, but later, once he heard some gossipy girls talking bad about Zhou Chengchen, whether it was because Zhou Chengchen had provoked them or out of jealousy, their words were quite unpleasant.

As Zhou Qi, the protective brother, couldn’t stand it then, he was about to step out to say something, but someone was faster.

With a petite figure, gentle voice, yet containing resilience, she put those gossipy girls in their place.

And then turned around and walked away in great style.

Zhuge Liang debating scholars was something Zhou Qi hadn’t seen, but at that moment, he inexplicably had that feeling.

Xiao Rou, this Xiao Rou who only followed his younger sister around drawing circles, suddenly exploded with such flair, such style.

It seems that was when Zhou Qi realized, this girl with little presence was not so insignificant after all.

She appeared gentle and timid, yet was like green bamboo—strong and resilient.

From then on, he remembered the name Xiao Rou, but to say he liked her because of it, not quite.

But for some reason, as he paid attention, this girl quietly walked into his heart.

Silent as a whisper, even Zhou Qi himself didn’t notice.

Until one day, standing in the school building looking at the playground, he saw the person he paid attention to running on the track, then suddenly falling, almost instantly, Zhou Qi reacted without thinking and ran over.

It was that moment he realized she was already in his heart.
