Chapter 1378: If I Win, I'll Pursue You (1)

Xiao Rou was just thinking about why Zhou Qi suddenly returned and didn’t even think about the face mask she was wearing. Now hearing Zhou Qi’s words, she immediately flipped around and ran, shouting uncharacteristically, “I’m going to wash my face, you sit down first,” just before she dashed into the bathroom.

Zhou Qi watched the girl vanish like a flash, unable to stop the corners of his mouth from lifting a bit.

He entered the room, sat on the little sofa, and waited for about ten minutes before Xiao Rou emerged from the bathroom. The messy stuff on her face had been washed clean, and her fair little face was now flushed all over. It wasn’t clear if it was from washing her face or something else.

“You… why did you come back?”

“Forgot something.”

With a smile still lingering on his face, Zhou Qi took two tickets out of his pocket: “Tickets for my match. If you have time, come and watch.”

Xiao Rou was taken aback, glancing down at the tickets Zhou Qi handed over. She indeed didn’t understand electronic sports, but she knew Zhou Qi and An Rui, so she’d learned a bit about it.

At this moment, looking at the two thin tickets, Xiao Rou suddenly felt a surge of excitement.

Zhou Qi’s match; that’s his stage.

“Okay, I’ll be there.”

Xiao Rou’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Zhou Qi, her clear gaze making his heart feel soft. Previous feelings of helplessness and self-mockery vanished in that moment, and the smile at the corners of his mouth wasn’t just habitual—he truly smiled from the heart: “Good.”

Since it was too late, Zhou Qi didn’t stay long and soon left.

Xiao Rou escorted him to the elevator entrance as usual. Suddenly, she remembered something, blushing as she said, “That wasn’t sesame paste.”

She was using a charcoal cleansing mask, which Zhou Qi had mistaken for sesame paste.

Zhou Qi chuckled, didn’t say much, and waved goodbye to Xiao Rou: “Go back quickly, goodnight.”

Having just showered, Xiao Rou only wore pajamas. Fortunately, her nightwear was conservative, so she wouldn’t feel awkward meeting people.

Back in the apartment, the two tickets still lay quietly on the coffee table.

Reaching over to pick them up, Xiao Rou studied them carefully and checked the date. Next Saturday evening.

Xiao Rou didn’t know why Zhou Qi gave her two tickets, perhaps thinking she could invite someone to watch together.

But Zhou Chengchen wasn’t around, and Zhou Qi’s identity was quite special. Xiao Rou had other friends, but knowing Zhou Qi’s status, it might not be convenient for them.

So even if she went, she could only go alone. Two tickets might be a bit wasteful.

Despite thinking like this, Xiao Rou still snapped a photo proudly and sent it via WeChat to Zhou Chengchen.

Soon enough, Zhou Chengchen replied: [Two tickets? Take Xi Siyan with you.]

Xiao Rou paused, taking Xi Siyan along? Is Xi Siyan interested in this?

Just as she thought this, another message came from Zhou Chengchen: [Let him stream for me.]

Xiao Rou was speechless.

As Zhou Chengchen’s friend, Xiao Rou was exhaustively aware of these siblings, who, despite always bickering when they met, undeniably had a strong bond. Especially years ago, Zhou Qi abandoned his originally planned life path for Zhou Chengchen and spent three years with him in the UK. Xiao Rou had been quite envious, having such a good brother.

Now, Zhou Chengchen couldn’t attend personally and wanted Xi Siyan to stream for her. Although speechless, Xiao Rou felt a bit envious inside.

She replied to Zhou Chengchen: [Okay, tell your guy, and let me know when he’s free; I’ll send the ticket to him.]
