Chapter 650 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
At 9 p.m., Jiang Xiyu left K-club with Bai Chengci.
Because they had to wait for the bus, Jiang Xiyu helped Bai Chengci stand under a tree by the roadside for a while.
The night breeze carried a hint of coolness, but the area where their skin and arms were pressed together remained very hot. Or rather, Bai Chengci's entire body was burning up.
Jiang Xiyu felt uncomfortable, so she planned to switch hands to support him.
Just as he tried to pull his hand away, Bai Chengci grabbed him in time and whispered indistinctly, "Don't leave me."
The arm pressed even tighter against the ground.
Jiang Xiyu frowned in discomfort.
Bai Chengci didn't let go; instead, she pressed half of her body against Jiang Xiyu's arm, holding it as if she were holding a beloved possession, afraid of losing it.
Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but say, "Let go of my hand first, why are you gripping it so tightly?"
Bai Chengci raised her slightly moist eyes. Her light-colored eyes appeared somewhat dark and gloomy in the night, with a hint of red at the corners.
He stared intently at Jiang Xiyu with those eyes, his gaze thicker than the night, his voice sticky: "No, I won't let go."
Jiang Xiyu tried to pull it off twice but failed. She looked up and met Bai Chengci's gaze for a moment, then turned her face away and said, "I'm hot. Can you let me switch hands?"
Bai Chengci lowered her eyes and said seriously, "No."
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Bai Chengci leaned closer to him and whispered, "Don't go..."
Jiang Xiyu: "I didn't say I was leaving."
Bai Chengci seemed to be under the influence of alcohol; he completely ignored everyone and just kept saying to himself, "Let go and you'll leave."
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
At this moment, Bai Chengci was like a piece of chewing gum that Jiang Xiyu couldn't shake off.
After several unsuccessful attempts to pull his hand away, Jiang Xiyu snapped at him, "Don't force me to kick you."
"Kiss me..." Bai Chengci seemed to have misheard, tilting her head to stare into Jiang Xiyu's eyes.
Whether it was the bright streetlights or the light from passing cars reflecting into his eyes, his eyes were bright, as if they were filled with water.
At the same time, he loosened his grip on Jiang Xiyu, seemingly letting his guard down because of the word "kiss".
Jiang Xiyu sensed it. After being stared at by Bai Chengci for a while, he glanced around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, quickly kissed Bai Chengci on the cheek.
Forget it, there's no point in reasoning with someone who's been drinking.
Bai Chengci was stunned by the kiss, her pupils contracted slightly, and her eyes seemed to clear up a bit, but that clarity didn't last long before it vanished into her gaze.
While he was still stunned, Jiang Xiyu managed to pull her hand away, then walked to Bai Chengci's other side and coldly gave him her hand.
Bai Chengci remained motionless, the corners of her lips curving into a smile that seemed almost irrepressible.
Seeing that he didn't react, Jiang Xiyu nudged him with her arm as if urging him to take her arm.
Bai Chengci then came to her senses, turned around, lowered her eyes, and quietly hugged Jiang Xiyu's outstretched arm, the faint curve of her lips pressed down almost imperceptibly.
Under the streetlights, his lowered eyebrows and eyes seemed to soften for no apparent reason.
This time, however, he was still not satisfied with just holding on. His fingertips slowly moved down until they touched Jiang Xiyu's dry palm. Seeing that Jiang Xiyu did not pull away, Bai Chengci slightly separated his five fingers and intertwined them tightly. Only then was he satisfied.
Feeling the warm touch between her fingers, Jiang Xiyu lowered her gaze to look. After realizing what was happening, she immediately felt a tingling sensation from her tightly clasped fingers to half of her body.
It felt like something had suddenly stung my heart.
Jiang Xiyu let out a soft breath, then raised her eyes to look at Bai Chengci's beautiful, flushed face.
Although his face was expressionless, his eyes were so adorable that it was impossible to be cruel to him.
Oh shit.
It looks so tempting.
Jiang Xiyu recalled the last time he took Bai Chengci out to play, he was just as clingy.
He seems like such a cold person, but he turns out like this when he's had a drink.
His heart wasn't made of stone either.
If he's clingy, let him clingy for a while, lest the little green tea bitch cause a drunken scene in public later.
Therefore, Jiang Xiyu did not shake off his hand.
Bai Chengci's lips now truly curved into a smile, a very obvious smile.
Jiang Xiyu didn't see it; she just took out her phone and glanced at where the car was.
When he looked up again, the smile on Bai Chengci's lips had faded, but a hint of amusement remained in her eyes.
Jiang Xiyu asked him, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Bai Chengci shook her head, then closed her eyes slightly and leaned against him, softly saying three words: "So happy."
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Two minutes later, the taxi arrived.
Jiang Xiyu opened the car door and stuffed Bai Chengci inside.
Bai Chengci obediently moved to a different spot.
After Jiang Xiyu sat down, he moved closer to him, as if he wanted to take his arm again.
Jiang Xiyu ignored it. After sitting down, she switched to WeChat and sent a message in the group saying that she had to go back first.
Without waiting for a reply, Jiang Xiyu noticed that Bai Chengci's gaze was on her screen, so she turned off her phone.
Bai Chengci still saw it, and whispered close to him, "You didn't save my contact name..."
Jiang Xiyu suddenly chuckled: "What kind of note do you want?"
Among all the people Jiang Xiyu knows, besides Loopy, who else would be so childish with that pink Loopy profile picture?
Bai Chengci thought for a moment, then said softly, "You'll get angry if I tell you."
He wanted that kind of intimate nickname for them, and he hoped that they could become truly close.
Jiang Xiyu scoffed and didn't press the matter further, clearly uninterested.
Bai Chengci remained silent.
The car fell silent immediately.
Bai Chengci had drunk some alcohol, and sitting in the car smelling the leather made her feel uncomfortable.
His Adam's apple bobbed, then he tilted his head slightly and leaned against Jiang Xiyu's shoulder, asking very softly, "How much longer..."
Jiang Xiyu casually replied, "It's still a long way from your home."
This statement was somewhat of a joke.
Bai Chengci was a little slow to react and didn't understand, so she looked up and said, "I can't go home."
Jiang Xiyu's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Hmm?"
Bai Chengci lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "My parents don't allow me to drink. They'll scold me when they see me drinking..."
Jiang Xiyu responded with a nonchalant "Oh," and said, "You knew you'd get scolded, yet you still drank it?"
Bai Chengci said in a hoarse voice, "I want to fit in with everyone."
Why bother integrating into their group?
"Because they get along well with you, I want to fit in with you too..."
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
driver:"……"
Even the driver, who had seen many gay men, couldn't help but glance at them through the rearview mirror.
Bai Chengci remained expressionless, paused for a few seconds, and then slowly added three words: "...life."
The person involved seems to think there's no problem with the punctuation.
Jiang Xiyu raised her head and touched her forehead, somewhat speechless, and opened the window to let in the breeze.
……
Meanwhile, Zhou Xi, who had obtained the surveillance footage, was sitting in another quiet private room, quietly watching the projected images on the screen.
The lights in the private room were all turned off, and only the images on the surveillance video flickered, making his face appear dark and indistinct.
Zhou Xi sat there, staring at his prey like a venomous snake coiled in the night, his eyes sharp and cold.
After he received the phone call and left the private room, Jiang Xiyu and Bai Chengci seemed to have made contact.
At the card table, Jiang Xiyu was clearly playing cards for Bai Chengci.
These methods might be incomprehensible to others, but for Zhou Xi, who was accustomed to such things, they were all too familiar.
Jiang Xiyu used the same gambling techniques to set up a trap for Bai Chengci.
If someone is indifferent, why would Jiang Xiyu take action?
His reason for intervening seemed to be only one: to help Bai Chengci out of a predicament.
Why would Jiang Xiyu step in to help two people who have no connection with each other?
At this moment, the answer seems to be on the verge of being revealed.
Zhou Xi looked at the scene on the poker table on the monitor, and his eyes became much more serious.
He knew Bai Chengci had feelings for Jiang Xiyu, but...
What about Jiang Xiyu?
The more Zhou Xi thought about it, the deeper the cold smile on his lips became.
Later, when Lu Ziqi and Xu Yunzhi started arguing, Zhou Xi saw Bai Chengci walk over and sit next to Jiang Xiyu, and Jiang Xiyu did not refuse. A smile immediately appeared on Zhou Xi's lips.
That smile was ambiguous and chilling.
It wasn't until the second time Zhou Xi saw Jiang Xiyu help Bai Chengci out of a predicament that she truly realized there was something going on between the two of them.
He knew Jiang Xiyu well; Jiang Xiyu could get along with anyone, especially those powerful and influential young masters, whom he avoided offending if possible.
He is very tactful, but sometimes this behavior can be quite annoying.
Because he doesn't refuse, he attracts one fly after another to his side.
Seeing this, Zhou Xi's patience finally ran out, and he stood up and stared at the screen for a long time.
The final frame of the scene shows Jiang Xiyu and Bai Chengci looking at each other.
Zhou Xi's gaze shifted slightly downwards, and then, seemingly discovering something on Bai Chengci, his anger surged, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
He picked up the remote and rewound, returning to a scene showing Bai Chengci's entire body.
That outfit...
The clothes Bai Chengci was wearing...
For a fleeting moment, Zhou Xi's gaze swept across the clothes Bai Chengci was wearing in the painting, like a snake's tongue.
When Zhou Xi first entered, the lighting in the private room was so dim that she didn't pay much attention.
But at this moment, he was absolutely certain that he had seen that piece of clothing somewhere before.
Where have I seen this before?
Zhou Xi slowly walked to the screen, stared at the clothes for a long time, finally recognized them, gave a cold laugh as if she had been tricked, and then said "Very good".
After he finished speaking, the air in the private room fell silent.
A moment later, with a loud "bang," the scene was mercilessly shattered.
……
The car drove through the night and finally arrived at the old apartment area.
Jiang Xiyu brought Bai Chengci home, and just as he threw her onto the bed, the phone rang.
Jiang Xiyu took it out and glanced at it; it was Zhou Xi.
He realized he hadn't said goodbye to K-club when he left, so he turned and left the bedroom to go to the living room to meet him.
Bai Chengci lay down on Jiang Xiyu's soft bed. Seeing him leave with the phone, she wasn't so clingy anymore. She just turned her head and buried her face slightly in the quilt, closed her eyes and smelled him.
Jiang Xiyu, who had gone to the living room, was afraid that Bai Chengci would follow her out, so she turned back and glanced at the bedroom.
After confirming that he hadn't followed me, I tapped the screen to answer the call.
Jiang Xiyu put the phone to her ear and said emotionlessly, "Hello, Brother Zhou."
There was no immediate response on the other end of the phone; instead, there was a moment of silence, as if the call had not been connected.
Jiang Xiyu waited for a while, then took out his phone with some doubt to check it. After confirming that the call had been connected, he called out again, "Brother Zhou."
At that moment, there was finally some response from the other end of the phone.
Zhou Xi's voice came from inside, and for some reason, it sounded somewhat heavy and cold.
He asked Jiang Xiyu, "Why did you leave?"
Jiang Xiyu made up a random excuse and said, "I'm worried about my sister being home alone."
Zhou Xi suddenly laughed, her tone ambiguous: "Oh?"
Jiang Xiyu frowned slightly upon hearing this, but didn't think too much about it, and simply asked, "Did Brother Zhou call because he needed something?"
Zhou Xi fell silent.
Jiang Xiyu is not a good candidate for hanging.
After a while of stalemate, Jiang Xiyu felt inexplicably ready to hang up.
At this moment, Zhou Xi said in an ambiguous tone, "It's nothing, just asking."
After finishing the call, Jiang Xiyu went to the bedroom. Just as she was about to turn off the living room light, thinking about Bai Chengci's current state, she went to the kitchen to get him a glass of lightly salted water to help him sober up.
Bai Chengci was unusually lazy, lying on the bed with her eyes closed as if she were asleep.
Jiang Xiyu knew he wasn't asleep, so she carried the saline solution to the bedside, nudged his foot, and said, "Get up."
Bai Chengci didn't move, but her eyelashes trembled.
Jiang Xiyu said, "Get up, you reek of alcohol."
It smells bad?
Bai Chengci slowly opened her eyes, then sat up and tilted her head to smell her own scent.
Some people who have been drinking may not be able to smell the alcohol very well.
Bai Chengci looked up at Jiang Xiyu, her eyes reddening, looking somewhat pitiful, as if asking him if it really smelled bad.
Jiang Xiyu scoffed impatiently, then suddenly grabbed Bai Chengci's face and forced him to drink salt water.
Bai Chengci's tightly pursed lips were suddenly forced open. He stared at Jiang Xiyu without blinking, and as Jiang Xiyu fed him water, his Adam's apple bobbed. He obediently drank the water.
Jiang Xiyu withdrew her hand after feeding the cup and was about to put it on the table when suddenly a pair of hands wrapped around her waist.
Bai Chengci hugged his waist, looked up and said thank you.
His chin gently rested on Jiang Xiyu's waist and abdomen, his eyes, red from drinking, filled with burning emotions.
Bai Chengci's voice was low and husky, her tone almost pleading: "May I kiss you?"
Jiang Xiyu looked down at him without saying a word.
Unable to get a response, Bai Chengci's gaze gradually lowered, finally settling on the spot where her eyes were looking.
Through the thin clothing, Jiang Xiyu's slender waist was visible.
Bai Chengci could feel the firm, powerful muscles in her lower abdomen as she rested her chin on her hand.
He pressed his face against mine, and couldn't help but whisper, "Kiss me, Jiang Xiyu..."
"I want to kiss you..."
His tone made it sound as if what he wanted to do wasn't even kissing.
Jiang Xiyu looked at him quietly for a while, then slowly reached out and pried open Bai Chengci's lips with her fingertips, playing with them as she casually said, "Okay, you can *do it."
