Chapter 614 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
Jiang Xiyu held back, telling herself that arguing about this was pointless.
When Bai Chengci walked up to him, Jiang Xiyu threw a stack of band-aids at him.
"Put it on."
Bai Chengci held the band-aid, paused, and said, "I'm not hurt."
Jiang Xiyu glanced at him and said, "Neck, press it against your neck."
Bai Chengci raised her hand to touch the hickey on her neck, then sat down next to Jiang Xiyu, staring straight at him and saying, "I can't see it very well, could you help me put it on?"
For a moment, his gaze became somewhat profound.
Jiang Xiyu didn't notice and simply said, "Can't you look in the mirror yourself?"
Bai Chengci: "I want you to help me stick it on."
"..."
Jiang Xiyu said it was troublesome, then took it and stuck it on for him.
Bai Chengci then asked, "How long will it take to heal?"
Jiang Xiyu warned sternly, "You are not allowed to take it off until the mark disappears."
Bai Chengci responded softly, "Okay."
Jiang Xiyu stood up with her phone in hand. "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Bai Chengci followed immediately, but walked to Jiang Xiyu's side and said, "Can we not go home for now?"
"Why aren't you going home?"
I want to spend more time with you.
"Get lost."
The two walked all the way to the parking lot.
After Jiang Xiyu got into the car, he asked Bai Chengci for his home address.
Bai Chengci didn't give a specific address, only saying that he should be taken there.
Jiang Xiyu didn't press the matter further.
He knew Bai Chengci's background and also knew where he lived, a place that ordinary people and vehicles couldn't enter.
After dropping the person off at their destination, Jiang Xiyu parked the car on the side of the road.
He didn't rush to leave, nor did he rush to kick Bai Chengci out.
The main problem is that it's almost noon now, and the sun is still quite strong outside, and there aren't many houses to be seen around here.
Jiang Xiyu tilted her head and asked, "Are you sure you want to get off here?"
Bai Chengci, holding the gift, nodded: "Yes."
Jiang Xiyu frowned and asked again, "Walk back?"
Bai Chengci thought for a moment, then said, "Hmm."
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Can you please stop making your life so miserable?
Before he could say anything, Bai Chengci spoke up again: "It's okay, you can go back. I can go home by myself. Although the sun is a bit hot, I can walk for about an hour and get home."
"..."
An hour's walk?
You fucking live deep in the mountains and forests.
Jiang Xiyu said coldly, "Call your driver to pick you up."
Bai Chengci moved her lips slightly.
Jiang Xiyu didn't want to hear his excuses and interrupted him: "Call me now, immediately."
Seeing his serious expression, Bai Chengci didn't know what to say.
He took out his phone and sent a message to the driver.
Jiang Xiyu checked it and was only satisfied after confirming that he had sent it.
About ten minutes later, the driver arrived.
Jiang Xiyu waited until Bai Chengci was picked up before planning to drive away.
When my gaze swept over the passenger seat, I noticed that something seemed to have been left there.
Jiang Xiyu stared at the small package for a few seconds, and after recognizing what it was, she burst into laughter in exasperation.
That's fucking amazing, Bai Chengci.
They actually brought this thing with them; no wonder they said they were ready.
Oh shit.
……
When Bai Chengci arrived home with the gifts, she was stopped by someone as soon as she entered the living room.
"Cheng porcelain".
The woman who called him was his mother, Cen Yi.
She sat on the sofa, dressed in an elegant white dress, exuding a gentle and refined air.
Upon seeing Bai Chengci return, she immediately put down her tea and stood up with a smile.
Bai Chengci was taken aback by her sudden return, and after a moment of surprise, she greeted her mother naturally, "Mom."
Cen Yi walked up to him and said with a smile, "I just got back this morning. When I looked for you, Auntie said you went out yesterday."
Bai Chengci hummed in agreement.
Cen Yi looked him up and down a few times, her gaze lingering on the pink bag he was carrying for a few seconds before she asked, "What are you holding?"
Bai Chengci replied calmly, "A gift."
Cen Yi took another step closer and saw the English on the packaging. She suddenly smiled and said, "No way, son, you've suddenly become so clever that you actually know to prepare a gift for your mother?"
As she spoke, she reached out to take it.
Bai Chengci dodged for a moment and explained, "It wasn't prepared for you."
Wasn't it prepared for her?
Upon hearing this, Cen Yi's expression immediately became somewhat subtle.
A pink gift, could it be...?
"Are you in love?"
Bai Chengci: "No."
Cen Yi asked, puzzled, "Then who are you giving this gift to?"
Bai Chengci: "This was given to me by someone else, a boy."
With just two sentences, Cen Yi was shut down from all the questions she wanted to ask.
The boy gave him a pink gift.
This... is a bit strange.
Cen Yi wanted to ask something more, but seeing her son's expressionless face, as if he were talking about something perfectly normal, she didn't want to overthink it. She simply changed the subject and said, "It's been half a month since I last saw you, and I feel like you've changed a bit."
Bai Chengci glanced at her.
Cen Yi walked around him, looking him over, and said, "You would never have worn clothes like this before."
A shirt and trousers, with a silver chain on the belt—very trendy.
But this is not Bai Chengci's usual style of dressing.
Cen Yi is an artist, so she is particularly perceptive in this area.
Bai Chengci replied softly, "A friend bought it."
Cen Yi thought his friend had good taste, and then said gently, "Then it's clear that you two have a very good relationship."
Bai Chengci nodded: "Mm."
Cen Yi noticed the band-aid on his neck and was about to ask about it.
Bai Chengci said, "Mom, I'm going upstairs first."
Cen Yi sighed and said softly, "Okay, it's alright, you go upstairs. Although I miss you and your dad, it's okay. You can both go about your business. I can manage on my own."
Bai Chengci: "..."
"I'll come down after I put my things down."
Cen Yi smiled and said, "Then let's have lunch together later. Mom will cook for you herself."
"Ah."
……
Bai Chengci took the gift upstairs, and as soon as she got back to her bedroom, she sent a message to Jiang Xiyu.
After waiting a few minutes and seeing no response from the other side, she began to unpack the gift Jiang Xiyu had given her.
When Bai Chengci took the pink Loopy out of the packaging, she recognized it as the emoji she often used.
He stared at Loopy for a long time, his gaze gradually softening.
Jiang Xiyu actually gave me this.
He actually gave me this...
so cute.
Bai Chengci sat on the bed and fiddled with the doll for a while. Then she took out the doll clothes from the gift box, dressed Loopy in them, took a picture of it, and sent it to Jiang Xiyu.
I love it! It's so cute!
I like you so much, thank you.
I will cherish it and sleep with it every day. (loopy hugging jpg)
