Chapter 186: Sinister Si Cheng
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“It’s fine. I have some in the car.” Si Cheng found a bottle of iodine and gauze from the car. He thought for a moment and handed it to Yuan Xiao. “Please help me apply the medicine.”
Yuan Xiao felt bad that Si Cheng was injured because of her, so she could only treat his wound seriously.
Looking at Yuan Xiao’s serious and careful expression, Si Cheng felt that this girl gave him a familiar feeling. “Did we really not know each other in the past?”
Yuan Xiao simply bandaged Si Cheng’s wound. When she heard Si Cheng’s words, she stopped what she was doing. “Do you know how old I am this year, where I live, and what I like?”
Si Cheng thought for a moment and shook his head.
“Then do you still think we knew each other before?”
Si Cheng looked at Yuan Xiao and asked curiously, “I just feel that you seem to know me very well. Moreover, you don’t look at me like you’re looking at a stranger.”
“Perhaps I’m being too friendly. I don’t know you well. We really don’t know each other.” Yuan Xiao fastened her seatbelt and hoped that Si Cheng would quickly start driving.
“My name is Si Cheng. I’m 19 years old this year and studied in a university overseas. This is the first year I’ve returned to the country.” Seeing that Yuan Xiao did not seem to be interested in his self-introduction, Si Cheng said in disappointment, “Since we don’t know each other well, let’s get to know each other.”
Yuan Xiao actually knew Si Cheng very well. Not only did she know that he had just returned from overseas, but she also knew that he had been forced to return to China to inherit his father’s company.
To a certain extent, Si Cheng could be considered a genius. He went to school much earlier than ordinary children and had skipped several grades.
When he was 18 years old, he had already obtained a diploma from a famous university overseas. He even ran a not-so-small trading company overseas.
This time, Si Cheng had no choice but to give up his overseas company and return home to help because his father’s health was not too good.
“My name is Yuan Xiao. I’m a student from Minghe First Middle School.”
Seeing that Yuan Xiao had no intention of continuing, Si Cheng could only tactfully not ask further. However, he made a mental note of the school Yuan Xiao was in.
After sending Yuan Xiao back to the entrance of the neighborhood, Si Cheng saw that there was still some distance before they reached the unit. After parking the car, he helped Yuan Xiao carry her backpack and alighted with her.
“There’s no need. I can take it back myself.” Yuan Xiao wanted to take the backpack, but Si Cheng had no intention of giving it to her.
“I’ll send you into the elevator. It’s not a long journey.” Si Cheng smiled and let Yuan Xiao walk in front.
Yuan Xiao was also unwilling to argue with him about such trivial matters. In any case, they might not meet again after today. In her previous life, Si Cheng’s company had developed very well and he was very busy with his career. Other than helping Yuan Wei a lot, he did not appear beside the protagonist much.
Yuan Xiao walked in front. Just as she was about to reach the elevator, she heard a familiar voice.
“Xiao Xiao…”
Hearing Fang Yao’s voice, Yuan Xiao shrank her neck guiltily, thinking that she was hallucinating. She turned to look at the entrance of the unit. Fang Yao was standing behind Si Cheng with a dark expression, and Shen Hai and Feng Mei were standing beside Fang Yao.
Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Yao in disbelief and suddenly had a very bad feeling.
Thinking of Si Cheng standing beside her, Yuan Xiao was on the brink of tears. She felt as if she had been caught in the act.
“Xiao Xiao, why are you back so late?” Shen Hai was a little surprised to see that Xiao Xiao had just returned home. When he saw the man beside her, he became even more vigilant.
Feng Mei nudged Shen Hai with her arm, indicating for him to stop asking. After all, Fang Yao’s expression was already ugly enough.
“Dad, Mom, I just went to the library. This is Si Cheng. He saw that my bag was too heavy, so he kindly sent me back.” Yuan Xiao wanted to say that Si Cheng was a kind-hearted stranger, but coincidentally, Fang Yao had once met Si Cheng outside the private room of the hotel. Yuan Xiao felt that it was too far-fetched to refer to him as a stranger.
“Since Uncle and Auntie are back, I’ll go back first.” Si Cheng deliberately did not speak to Fang Yao. Instead, he placed Yuan Xiao’s backpack on him and turned to Yuan Xiao with a smile. “Xiao Xiao, let’s contact each other in the future.’
Before Fang Yao could react, Si Cheng bade farewell to Shen Hai and Feng Mei and left.
This was the first time Yuan Xiao felt that someone was sinister. When had she exchanged contact information with Si Cheng?
Looking at Fang Yao, who was about to go berserk, Yuan Xiao hurriedly went forward and grabbed his arm, afraid that he would chase after him on impulse..
