Chapter 682 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
When Jiang Xiyu heard Bai Chengci ask if she was feeling unwell, her expression flickered slightly. However, that subtle change quickly disappeared, and Jiang Xiyu returned to her usual nonchalant attitude, as if she didn't care at all.
He said casually, "What's there to be upset about? You're the ones fighting, it's not like I'll lose a piece of my flesh."
Although Jiang Xiyu did feel a slight annoyance at the moment he witnessed the farce, that annoyance was not directed at Bai Chengci.
Perhaps others would have felt embarrassed in that situation, but Jiang Xiyu didn't feel anything. On the contrary, he needed a reason to break away from Zhou Xi and an opportunity to make those who were bothering him see things clearly. Now that the opportunity had been presented to him, Jiang Xiyu felt quite relieved.
He just didn't expect that Bai Chengci would care about these things.
As Jiang Xiyu pondered, her gaze subtly fell upon the bruise on Bai Chengci's lips. After a long while, her expression seemed to soften somewhat, but her tone remained imperceptible.
He scoffed and said to Bai Chengci, "But you, beaten to a pulp, are so weak."
After Jiang Xiyu finished speaking, he used his index finger to lift Bai Chengci's chin with a little force.
Bai Chengci stared at him intently, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I don't know how to fight..."
Jiang Xiyu lowered her eyes, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
Bai Chengci thought for a moment and then began to apologize: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me... I should have been more careful. I shouldn't have been so clingy with you, so that no one would have found out..."
"Don't be angry, and don't abandon me," Bai Chengci said earnestly. "If you're angry, I can go and explain to them. Even if they hit me, I'm willing, as long as you're happy..."
Because she didn't know what Jiang Xiyu was thinking at that moment, Bai Chengci was indeed a little uneasy.
Jiang Xiyu didn't reply immediately, but looking at Bai Chengci's nervous appearance, he suddenly laughed and asked him, "Explain what?"
Bai Chengci opened her mouth, about to speak.
Jiang Xiyu, noticing that he seemed about to start making tea again, interrupted him in time and instead joked, "Explain that I'm not dating you? Or... explain that I'm just playing with you?"
When his words were exposed, Bai Chengci's eyelashes trembled involuntarily. Then he paused, lowering his voice to a very soft tone: "I'm afraid they'll misunderstand..."
After hearing this, Jiang Xiyu withdrew his hand, his tone seemingly casual: "If you're afraid of misunderstandings, then don't follow me."
"No." Bai Chengci immediately shook her head without hesitation. "I want to follow you."
Jiang Xiyu looked down at him, paused for a moment, and then asked with a slightly serious expression, "Do you really like me that much?"
Bai Chengci nodded and hummed in agreement. After a few seconds of silence, she added softly, "I really like you..."
As she spoke, Bai Chengci slightly closed her spread thighs.
Jiang Xiyu stood between his legs, feeling the pressure of his knees against hers, and lowered her eyes.
He carefully observed Bai Chengci's expression as she spoke to him, her cautious demeanor, coupled with her bruised face, which only made her appear more pitiful.
He is really good at showing weakness, and he shows it just right.
Jiang Xiyu happens to be the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.
So, as they gazed at each other for a long time, Jiang Xiyu suddenly reached out and touched Bai Chengci's cheek again, smiled, and then lowered her head to give him a kiss as a reward, "I'll take you back."
"I don't want to go back." Bai Chengci refused almost as soon as Jiang Xiyu finished speaking.
He moved slightly closer to Jiang Xiyu, then reached out and hugged his waist, repeating softly, "I don't want to go back, I want to stay with you..."
After tonight, what happened between them is no longer a secret. However, the closer one gets to having something, the more afraid one becomes of losing it.
Even Bai Chengci couldn't avoid feeling anxious about this.
He wanted to be with this person so badly that he couldn't miss any opportunity or let anyone else interfere.
Bai Chengci silently tightened her arms, and after a long while, she finally spoke, seemingly calmly, "I'm injured, and going back will make my family worry..."
Jiang Xiyu looked down at him without saying a word.
Bai Chengci rubbed her face against Jiang Xiyu's hand that was touching her cheek, staring intently at him, and said softly, "I'm afraid my mother will blame me if she sees this, so, please let me stay for one night, okay? Don't make me go back, okay?"
The curve of the eyelashes rests on the palm of your hand, and when they tremble slightly, they look like a hook.
Jiang Xiyu was well aware of his intentions. She twitched her fingers twice, but ultimately did not withdraw her hand.
At the banquet tonight, Bai Chengci did not retaliate even once.
Whether he genuinely felt sorry for Xu Yunzhi, deliberately tried to gain her sympathy, or wanted to reveal their relationship, Jiang Xiyu didn't care.
He just thought Bai Chengci was pretty stupid.
Jiang Xiyu's hand, which was touching Bai Chengci's cheek, twitched slightly. Her thumb rubbed against the wound on his lip. After a long silence in the ward, she finally called out to him, "Bai Chengci."
"Ah."
Jiang Xiyu suddenly said, "Put your clothes on."
"Hmm?" Bai Chengci hugged him tightly.
Jiang Xiyu glanced out the window and said, "It's late. Do you want to spend the night at the hospital?"
Bai Chengci looked up at Jiang Xiyu's turned profile, paused for a moment, and then said again, neither too loudly nor too softly, "I don't want to go home."
Jiang Xiyu understood, turned around and met his burning gaze, then suddenly smiled lightly and said, "Okay."
Seeing that he agreed, Bai Chengci slowly took a deep breath, and then reluctantly let go of Jiang Xiyu's arms to put on her clothes.
The moonlight was beautiful all the way back to the old town.
The bustling area was gradually left behind by the car, and neither of them spoke in the carriage.
Bai Chengci leaned against the passenger seat, quietly watching Jiang Xiyu drive. The silence was so profound that she could almost hear her own heartbeat.
It quickly seemed to be getting out of control.
This uncontrolled heartbeat did not subside over time; on the contrary, it intensified after returning to Jiang Xiyu's home.
The bedroom lights weren't bright; instead, they were soft and tranquil.
Jiang Xiyu took a nightgown from the closet and threw it on Bai Chengci, saying, "Change into your nightgown."
Bai Chengci reached out and took the clothes, naturally leaned in to smell them, his Adam's apple bobbed, and then he said, "Okay."
While Bai Chengci went to the bathroom to change his clothes, Jiang Xiyu changed outside and then went to the kitchen to pour him a glass of water.
After Bai Chengci changed his clothes, he came out of the quiet bedroom. He sat down on the bed where he had slept before and reached out to touch the sheets, only to find that they had been changed.
It must have gotten dirty last time, which is why Jiang Xiyu changed it.
Bai Chengci couldn't help but chuckle softly.
When Jiang Xiyu brought the water over, he saw that Bai Chengci had already gotten into bed on her own.
He clicked his tongue, walked over, and handed the water to Bai Chengci.
Bai Chengci held the cup with both hands and obediently took a sip, then silently looked up at him.
Jiang Xiyu wasn't sleepy at the moment, and simply said, "You go to sleep first."
Bai Chengci asked, "Aren't you going to sleep with me?"
Jiang Xiyu was silent for a moment, then frowned and said, "How old are you? Do you need someone to accompany you to sleep?"
"My body hurts so much..." Bai Chengci reached for Jiang Xiyu's hand, pursed her lips, "I want you to hold me while I sleep."
The next sentence immediately created a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.
After hearing this, Jiang Xiyu directly exposed his lie, saying, "You still want to sleep with me?"
As soon as those two words were uttered, Bai Chengci's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.
He didn't answer, but his gaze deepened.
That sense of aggression was almost overflowing, and the answer was practically written on his face. Jiang Xiyu was too lazy to even scold him anymore.
Bai Chengci still leaned her upper body towards Jiang Xiyu, gripped Jiang Xiyu's hand tightly, and asked, "Is it okay?"
Jiang Xiyu was about to refuse, but before he could open his mouth, Bai Chengci suddenly said to herself, "If this isn't okay, could you give me something else?"
It was as if the previous question was just a casual one, while this one was what he really wanted to ask.
As Bai Chengci spoke, she gave Jiang Xiyu a very obvious, faint smile.
Jiang Xiyu stared at him for a couple of seconds and asked, "What do you want?"
Bai Chengci grabbed Jiang Xiyu's hand and placed it on her chest, then looked up at Jiang Xiyu, lowering her posture and pleading, "This... could I have it..."
Jiang Xiyu's true feelings.
Could you give him a chance?
