Chapter 1376: You’re Scheming Too (9)

Xiao Rou nodded: "It’s not convenient to eat alone."

"You can come to our place."

Zhou Qi almost blurted it out instinctively. Xiao Rou was slightly taken aback, feeling her face become a bit hot, she quickly changed the subject: "No need, I’ll make something simple myself, it’s easy, I quite like cooking too."

Zhou Qi chuckled: "If it were Cheng Chen, it’d be a miracle if she doesn’t blow up the kitchen."

Zhou Qi and Zhou Chengchen, this sibling duo has no boundaries when it comes to teasing each other. Xiao Rou was used to it, so upon hearing Zhou Qi say this, she instinctively added: "No problem, anyway, Xi Siyan can cook."

Embarrassed from earlier, Xiao Rou didn’t dare to look into Zhou Qi’s eyes. Now saying this, she was stirring her fruit tea with her head down, not noticing the strange expression that briefly crossed Zhou Qi’s face.

After chatting casually for a few more moments, it was already late. Zhou Qi stood up to leave, and Xiao Rou saw him off to the elevator before returning.

Just as she entered the door, she heard her phone ringing — it was a WeChat video call.

She rushed over to see it was Zhou Chengchen.

"Cheng Chen."

"Little Rou’er, did you think of me?"

Zhou Chengchen’s side was quite noisy. She was wearing a white chiffon dress, with makeup on her face, seemed to be ready for a performance.

"Eh? Little Rou’er, where are you now? Not at home?"

Zhou Chengchen asked, looking at unfamiliar decorations on the video chat.

The fact that Xiao Rou moved hadn’t been mentioned to Zhou Chengchen yet. Although they were friends and Zhou Chengchen was theoretically her investor, there was no need to report everything.

Now that they were chatting through video, Xiao Rou just mentioned it casually.

The result was Zhou Chengchen looking shocked on the other side: "You said the house you’re staying in was found by my brother, a friend of An Rui?"

Xiao Rou nodded blankly: "Yes."

She had no idea why Zhou Chengchen was so surprised.

"Is something wrong?"

"No problem no problem, it’s just the first time I’ve discovered my big brother to be so dependable."

Xiao Rou instinctively wanted to say something in defense of Zhou Qi, who was always dependable.

But before she could speak, Zhou Chengchen said: "My teacher called me, I’ll hang up for now, bye-bye."

After saying that, Zhou Chengchen cut off the communication, leaving Xiao Rou still somewhat dazed.

Zhou Chengchen had already dialed Zhou Qi.

At this time, Zhou Qi was still on the road, not yet returned to the team. Seeing it was a call from Zhou Chengchen, his tone immediately turned playful: "Hey, future Mrs. Xi, so free today, finally thought of calling your brother?"

"Yeah yeah, I’m here to see An Rui’s legendary good friend."

Zhou Chengchen said playfully as well. Zhou Qi reacted quickly and immediately caught the meaning behind Zhou Chengchen’s words, raised an eyebrow: "How did you find out?"

"Just video chatted with Little Rou’er, tsk tsk, big brother, you’re good. Using my name or An Rui’s name to chase a girl, manipulative, so manipulative. You say you’re so manipulative, do you deserve such a pure girl like Little Rou’er?"

"Right back at ya, who was the one claiming no extra desks in the classroom to have Xi Siyan sit with them?"

"That was the truth."

"So is this."

"You..."

On the other end, Zhou Chengchen pursed her lips, but her eyes were full of mirth.

"Cheng Chen, it’s your turn soon."

Just as Zhou Chengchen planned to say more, someone beside her called her attention.
