Chapter 606 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
Because of this incident, Jiang Xiyu quickly shifted his attention back to Jiang Jinya.
The two girls sitting next to Jiang Jinya also turned their attention to her.
Seeing that she looked like she was choking on chili peppers, Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but say, "Why can't you concentrate on your meal?"
Jiang Jinya took the water her sister handed her, drank a couple of sips, and after the spiciness subsided, she secretly looked up and glanced at the water.
Sure enough, the bowl of peeled shrimp was already in front of her brother.
However, everyone at the table was focused on themselves at that moment, and no one noticed the academic genius's actions.
What kind of relationship would make a man willingly peel lobsters for another man?
What's the difference between this behavior and a boyfriend peeling shrimp for his girlfriend?
Jiang Jinya, who couldn't believe the difference, suddenly felt incredulous.
She blinked and glanced at Bai Chengci out of the corner of her eye.
Bai Chengci met Jiang Jinya's probing gaze without flinching; her eyes merely curved slightly, revealing her candor.
Then, the shocking answer in Jiang Jinya's mind gradually emerged.
Her face flushed bright red, and after a long pause, she said in a trembling voice, "I need to go to the restroom..."
As she spoke, she grabbed the hands of her two girlfriends and said excitedly, "Come with me."
And so, the three of them went to the restroom.
Jiang Xiyu slowly withdrew her gaze and looked down to see the shrimp bowl placed in front of her.
He paused for a few seconds, his nerves twitching slightly, and said to Bai Chengci, "Who told you to peel it for me?"
"Can't you tone it down a bit?"
Seeing that he was a little angry, Bai Chengci remained silent for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said, "They didn't see it."
Jiang Xiyu choked, her face full of disgust: "Do I need you to peel it for me?"
"No need," Bai Chengci said. "I wanted to peel it for you."
Jiang Xiyu: "Bai Chengci, I've noticed that you're a very meticulous person."
Bai Chengci lowered her eyes: "Hmm..."
Jiang Xiyu put the bowl back in front of him and said, "I'm full, I don't want to eat anymore."
Bai Chengci didn't look up at Jiang Xiyu, but glanced at the bowl and said, "Okay."
However, when he reached for the chopsticks, he suddenly hissed and his hand twitched.
Jiang Xiyu noticed his hands were trembling and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Chengci picked up her chopsticks again and said, "It's nothing, I just accidentally peeled the shrimp..."
"..."
Jiang Xiyu recognized the familiar tone in his words, silently clenched her fists, then coldly picked up the bowl and asked, "Can you leave after I finish eating?"
Bai Chengci: "..."
A few minutes later, Jiang Jinya and the other two returned.
She glanced silently at the bowl in front of Jiang Xiyu and noticed that the shrimp inside had already been eaten, and she shuddered again. She really wanted to yell out loud, but in the end, she held back.
After finishing their meal, the group parted ways at the entrance of the mall.
Jiang Xiyu let Jiang Jinya get into the car first, then glanced at Bai Chengci, who was standing motionless beside her, and asked, "Aren't we leaving yet?"
"Things." Bai Chengci raised her hand, wanting to help him carry the things to the car.
Jiang Xiyu opened the trunk, and after Bai Chengci put the things away, Jiang Xiyu planned to drive away directly.
Bai Chengci stared at him intently and said, "Can we meet tomorrow?"
Jiang Xiyu paused, turned around, and said, "Don't you get tired of seeing me every day?"
Bai Chengci shook her head, a faint blush appearing on her porcelain-white face.
He said, "Didn't you say you'd settle the bill with me after we finished eating?"
Jiang Xiyu looked him up and down, then smiled and said, "Okay, come to my house tonight."
After saying that, Jiang Xiyu opened the driver's side door and got in.
The car drove away.
Bai Chengci stood there, taking a long time to recover her senses.
When the driver arrived, he saw him standing in the sun at the mall entrance and quickly got out of the car to open the door for him.
Bai Chengci was originally going to get on the bus, but then she remembered something and went back to the mall to buy some things.
……
After Jiang Xiyu took Jiang Jinya home, he went out again.
When I came back, I was carrying a pink, rather large bag.
He put his things in his room and then went to take a shower.
Only after I finished showering did I have time to read the messages Bai Chengci had sent me.
[Bai Chengci: Are you home yet?]
[Bai Chengci: What flavors of fruit do you like? Or, do you have any favorite flavors?]
The message was sent about two hours ago. Jiang Xiyu glanced at it and replied, "Arrived."
It seemed like they were waiting for his message, so they replied quickly: "When should I come see you tonight? (loppy looking forward to it)"
Jiang Xiyu: [Whatever you say.]
[Bai Chengci: Six o'clock, isn't that too early?]
Jiang Xiyu glanced at her phone and realized it was already 4 p.m.
8 o'clock.
[Bai Chengci: Okay.]
[Bai Chengci: You haven't answered my question above yet? What fruits do you like, or what flavors do you particularly like?]
Jiang Xiyu assumed he was going to bring a gift, so she directly refused: "No need to bring anything."
The text "Changing while typing" disappeared.
Bai Chengci: Okay.
……
At 7:50 p.m., Bai Chengci sent a message saying that he had arrived at the other side of the road where they had parted ways by car last time.
Upon receiving the message, Jiang Xiyu told him to stay put and then changed his clothes before going out.
However, as she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something, went back to the bedroom, and took the things out again.
At that moment, Bai Chengci was sitting in the car, looking at the message Jiang Xiyu had sent her, and said to the driver, "You can go back now."
The driver had been waiting with him for half an hour. Seeing that he suddenly wanted to drive away by himself, he couldn't help but ask, "Will you come back to pick me up later?"
Bai Chengci thought for a moment and said, "No need."
Driver: “Okay.”
After the driver unloaded the items from the trunk, Bai Chengci let him drive away.
It was already dark, and the streetlights were on, casting a dim yellow light.
On the road, cars come and go.
As Jiang Xiyu emerged from the alley, she saw a slender figure standing under the streetlight across the street, seemingly having waited for a long time.
Bai Chengci seemed to have seen him too, and waved to him.
Jiang Xiyu scoffed, slowly walked to the side of the road, and waited for the red light to end.
Across the traffic, the two exchanged a glance.
Jiang Xiyu noticed something at his feet and messaged him: "Didn't I tell you not to bring anything?"
Bai Chengci: I didn't bring much.
The person under the tree's shadow stirred, bending down to pick something up from beside their feet, as if about to come over.
Jiang Xiyu typed: 【Don't move, you're dead.】
Bai Chengci paused in the hand holding the bag, then straightened up again.
[Bai Chengci: Okay. (Cute jpg)]
Seeing that he was not moving, Jiang Xiyu put her hands behind her back.
As soon as the green light came on, Jiang Xiyu walked towards Bai Chengci.
A night breeze stirred, carrying a faint fragrance in the air.
Jiang Xiyu walked up to Bai Chengci and, seeing his exquisite attire and smelling the fragrance, surprisingly didn't dampen his spirits. Instead, she jokingly said, "Dressed like this, are you deliberately trying to prevent me from settling accounts?"
Bai Chengci paused for a moment: "No."
Jiang Xiyu examined it for a moment and said, "The ground is quite dirty; white clothes can't withstand being dropped like this."
He was trying to give him an over-the-shoulder throw.
Bai Chengci glanced at the ground and said, "It should be fine."
Jiang Xiyu didn't reply, but just looked at the things placed beside his legs and said, "Alright, what are you carrying in that bag?"
Bai Chengci picked up the items and handed them to Jiang Xiyu, saying, "I don't have the link to the shampoo you asked me about last time, but I've had someone prepare some new ones. Is that alright?"
"..."
Jiang Xiyu racked her brains but never imagined that the bag contained shampoo.
Damn it, these days, is shampoo the only gift you give?
Jiang Xiyu tightened her grip on the gift bag, thinking to herself that she had really made a mistake.
I should have bought Brain Gold!
