Xi Siyan originally was sitting, but when he saw clearly the phone Zhou Chengchen handed over, he immediately sat up.
His eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot. He stared at the phone screen for a full ten seconds, then looked at Zhou Chengchen, his voice hoarse but certain: "No!"
Their eyes met, no one spoke. Zhou Chengchen wouldn't question his words; he said it wasn't, and she believed him.
After a long silence between them, Xi Siyan finally broke it: "So... you left because of this?"
Zhou Chengchen felt a lump in her throat and couldn't speak for a moment. She just nodded, took a deep breath to calm down, and then spoke: "When I received it, I didn't believe it. I looked for you but couldn't find you. I waited for you for four days, but there was no news. Later, my brother planned a trip, and in a fit of anger, I went along."
