Free Web NovelChapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Xi, Here’s the Umbrella for You
Zhou Chengchen opened the umbrella and chased after him. Xi Siyan was walking very quickly. She couldn’t catch up with him even though she was jogging. The ground was slippery with many small puddles, so Zhou Chengchen didn’t dare run too fast. As she exited the school gate, she was about to catch up.
Suddenly, someone next to her grabbed her: "Miss."
It was the driver who came to pick her and Zhou Qi up. Perhaps because it was raining today, the driver stopped the car directly at the school gate and was standing outside with an umbrella, afraid they wouldn’t see him in the heavy rain.
Zhou Chengchen glanced back at the driver. Although she was arrogant and domineering, she would never unreasonably throw a tantrum at the driver or servants. She was just anxious about the person in front and looked a bit urgent.
"Uncle, please wait for me."
Saying this, she didn’t mind the ground was full of rainwater and ran in the direction of Xi Siyan.
Zhou Chengchen was in a great hurry. She wore a beautiful long white down jacket today, which was now splattered with mud and water. She didn’t care, quickly caught up, and grabbed Xi Siyan’s sleeve, feeling cold and wet to the touch.
Zhou Chengchen shoved the umbrella into his hand: "Xi, here’s an umbrella for you."
After saying that, she hurriedly ran back.
Xi Siyan stood in place, holding the small umbrella, slightly frowning. A trace of warmth lingered on the umbrella handle, while the person who handed him the umbrella had already run far away.
Xi Siyan pursed his lips, turned, and continued walking toward the bus stop.
When he got on the bus, he closed the umbrella, his glance catching the little pink flowers on it, pausing slightly.
The milky white umbrella surface with little pink flowers was indeed an umbrella only a girl would use.
It was very congested on rainy days. A journey that usually took forty minutes took nearly two hours today. By the time Xi Siyan got off the bus, the rain had stopped. He was still wet, and although the down jacket was waterproof, being drenched so much made it lose its waterproofing.
Now it weighed heavily on him, but his hair was dried on the bus.
He walked into an upscale community, passed through the high-rise buildings at the entrance, and arrived at the villa area in the row. Xi Siyan pushed the door open and saw a well-dressed, stunning woman approaching him. When she saw him, she frowned: "Why did you come back so late today? Grandma and they all have arrived, and you weren’t there for dinner. How impolite. Quickly, go greet grandma and them."
Xi Siyan tightened his grip on the straps of his backpack, his down jacket still dripping slowly from both sides.
But he still listened to the woman and walked into the living room.
On the sofa sat two elderly people with graying hair, a slightly chubby middle-aged man, and two children, one boy and one girl.
Xi Siyan stopped and politely said, "Grandma, Uncle Li."
The elderly person with gray hair nodded faintly, indifferent and distant, and then didn’t look at him again, instead looking down to comfort the small girl in his arms: "Does our Keke want to eat watermelon?"
The woman earlier came over: "You go upstairs and change your clothes first, and I will heat up the food for you."
Xi Siyan walked upstairs, went into his room, removed all his clothes, and took a shower. He was soaked all over, and although he later had a small umbrella, it was already useless.
Xi Siyan quickly took a shower, changed clothes, and went downstairs.
The living room was lively and harmonious. He didn’t go over, directly headed to the dining table. In front of him was a bowl of rice and a dish, leftover meals. The three items were placed on one plate.
Xi Siyan showed no expression, silently finished eating, and quietly went to the kitchen to wash the plate.
