Chapter 568 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
The awards ceremony doesn't take long; it's almost over after the champagne is opened and the group photos are taken.
Jiang Xiyu was really tired, and after the event, she prepared to take the trophy back to her resting place.
Firmo Club's facilities are not just for competition; the hotel, spa, and restaurant layout also make it a high-end leisure destination, encompassing almost every activity that can be enjoyed.
Therefore, after each competition, Jiang Xiyu would spend two days playing here with Lu Ziqi and the others.
Lu Ziqi and the others knew that the first thing Jiang Xiyu would do after the competition was to go back to his suite to take a shower, so they didn't follow him to bother him. They just reminded him to remember to attend the dinner party that evening after he finished showering.
Jiang Xiyu nodded in agreement.
Bai Chengci, who received an invitation to a dinner party at the same time, declined it.
Lu Ziqi was hoping he wouldn't come, since tonight wasn't the time to fulfill the bet anyway. He didn't want to eat with Bai Chengci, because just looking at that expressionless face made him feel disgusted.
Seeing that he refused, Zhou Xi didn't say anything more, but turned to Jiang Xiyu and said, "We'll wait for you at the restaurant."
Jiang Xiyu: "Mm."
After the two left, Jiang Xiyu didn't look at Bai Chengci and turned to walk towards the elevator.
He entered the elevator and pressed the floor button. Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a pair of hands suddenly reached in and stopped him.
Jiang Xiyu frowned and quickly pressed the switch.
The elevator doors reopened, revealing Bai Chengci's face.
Jiang Xiyu said coldly, "Are you crazy?"
Bai Chengci looked at him, her eyes half-lowered, and said softly, "I'm sorry."
Jiang Xiyu waited for a moment, and seeing that Bai Chengci was not moving, and that the elevator door was about to close again, she finally couldn't help but speak up: "Come in, what are you standing there for?"
Bai Chengci seemed to only then realize what was happening and hurriedly walked in.
However, when he came in, his walking posture was not so natural, and something seemed off.
Jiang Xiyu noticed it keenly, but only glanced at it lightly and didn't say anything more.
I didn't expect that once people came in, they would be like wooden blocks, not even saying which floor they were on.
Jiang Xiyu didn't care anymore and walked out when she reached her floor.
Bai Chengci slowly followed her out.
Jiang Xiyu could even clearly feel that the person behind her was following her.
He left, and when he stopped, the lingering figure behind him also stopped.
Jiang Xiyu stopped at the door of his suite, but did not go in directly. Instead, he leaned casually against the wall and waited until Bai Chengci walked up to him before asking, "What exactly do you want to do by following me?"
It was only then that Jiang Xiyu noticed that he was walking with a limp.
Bai Chengci stopped when she heard the sound, and looked at Jiang Xiyu with a pale face.
He seemed to be in some discomfort, so his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to follow you."
Fearing that Jiang Xiyu wouldn't believe her, Bai Chengci continued to explain, "My room is in front."
As he spoke, he showed the room key in his hand.
Jiang Xiyu stared at the room key in silence for a long while, then her gaze slowly fell on his legs, and she asked, "What happened to your legs?"
Bai Chengci swayed slightly and said calmly, "I'm fine."
He seemed on the verge of collapse, but when asked, he refused to answer.
Jiang Xiyu thought to herself, "You've really spoiled me."
He withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, then opened his door and went inside.
After the door closed, Bai Chengci stood quietly in place for a long time before walking to the suite next to Jiang Xiyu's.
……
The view outside the suite is beautiful, with a high degree of green coverage.
The first thing Jiang Xiyu did upon returning to her room was to call her younger sister to tell her that she wouldn't be coming home that night and to ask her to lock the doors and windows.
After the phone call ended, Jiang Xiyu took her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After showering and drying my hair, it was already 7:30 pm.
Following the message Lu Ziqi and the others sent him, Jiang Xiyu went to the newly opened Chinese restaurant at Firmo Club. As soon as he entered, a waiter led him to the private room he had reserved.
There were quite a few people at this dinner party, including wealthy young men who knew each other, as well as people from the car fleet.
They all arrived quite early, with Jiang Xiyu being the last to arrive.
However, they were not displeased by his late arrival; on the contrary, they were very happy that he had come.
Jiang Xiyu entered the private room, politely apologized to them, and was then pulled by Lu Ziqi to sit in the main seat.
The other young men were used to this behavior and simply smiled and said, "Since the main character has arrived, let's begin the dinner."
A group of people chimed in, "Yes, yes, we should definitely toast this hero!"
Everyone in the private room couldn't help but look at Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu sat between Lu Ziqi and Zhou Xi so often that she no longer felt uncomfortable.
Seeing the weariness between his brows, Lu Ziqi poured him a glass of wine and said, "Brother, what's wrong? You seem a little tired."
Jiang Xiyu didn't want to spoil their fun, so she simply shook her head and said, "No."
Zhou Xi poured a glass of water and placed it beside her, saying, "If you're tired, don't drink alcohol."
Jiang Xiyu took the glass and smiled nonchalantly: "With so many people here to celebrate my victory, it would be a bit unreasonable for me not to drink."
"I'm late, I'll punish myself with a drink."
After saying that, Jiang Xiyu simply finished the wine in his hand.
The young men liked his straightforwardness and raised their glasses to toast him.
The main reason was that Jiang Xiyu's victory this time was truly unexpected. They originally thought they might lose the match, but who knew he would dare to play so recklessly.
Jiang Xiyu smiled slightly, and after finishing that glass of wine, she was too lazy to continue the socializing.
However, if someone comes to offer him a toast, he will still politely return the toast.
Later, when Lu Ziqi saw that he hadn't even eaten a bite of food after drinking so much, he stopped him from drinking anymore and turned away all the people who came to offer him a toast.
Zhou Xi didn't say anything. He even poured a glass for Jiang Xiyu himself. Seeing the young man's face flushed with a charming blush from the alcohol, Zhou Xi's gaze darkened. He handed it over, his tone softening inexplicably: "Xiyu, I'd like to toast you."
"Thank you, Brother Zhou." Jiang Xiyu took the glass and clinked glasses with him.
Lu Ziqi stopped Jiang Xiyu when he was about to drink, and looked up at Zhou Xi and said, "That's enough, don't make me drink anymore, if I drink any more, I'll really get drunk."
Zhou Xi frowned slightly, said nothing, but there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
Jiang Xiyu glanced indifferently at the person beside him, then suddenly smiled and said, "Having another drink won't hurt."
Lu Ziqi strongly objected, snatching the wine glass away: "No way."
"..."
Jiang Xiyu was silent for a moment, then picked up another glass and said, "Then I'll toast with a glass of orange juice."
Zhou Xi: "..."
