Chapter 599 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun outside the apartment was still very strong.
Lu Ziqi wasn't sleepy at all. He had been playing games on the sofa for several hours when his phone told him it was out of battery. He glanced at the time and couldn't help but say, "It's already three o'clock, and I'm still not awake."
After saying that, he got up to find a charging cable.
Lu Ziqi casually flipped through the pages and found that the place looked like no one had ever lived there; apart from the basic furnishings, there was nothing else.
He was a little annoyed, and when he looked up, his gaze happened to meet the door of the guest room.
The apartment was quiet. When Lu Ziqi looked at the closed door, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He stared at the door for a long time, seemingly lost in thought. For some reason, the quieter it was around him, the faster his heart pounded.
It's three o'clock, my brother should be awake by now.
Zhou Xi came out of the master bedroom and saw Lu Ziqi seemingly heading towards the guest room where Jiang Xiyu was. She asked indifferently, "What are you doing?"
Suddenly someone spoke, and Lu Ziqi was so startled that his shoulders trembled.
After a long while, he clenched his fist at his side before turning to Zhou Xi and saying, "You fucking walk without making a sound."
He didn't seem to have much confidence when he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xi slowly crossed his arms and couldn't help but scoff coldly, "You just didn't hear me."
Lu Ziqi met Zhou Xi's cold gaze and thought to himself that he hadn't done anything wrong, so he immediately said unhappily, "Your shabby apartment has nothing at all. I can't even charge my phone."
Zhou Xi walked over and said calmly, "You can call someone to deliver it."
Lu Ziqi watched as Zhou Xi walked up to him without stopping, and seeing that he seemed to be heading to the guest room, he reached out and stopped him as they passed each other, asking, "What are you doing? My brother is still sleeping."
Zhou Xi stopped and said emotionlessly, "He's already awake at this time."
Hearing the certainty in his tone, Lu Ziqi simply said, "How do you know if my brother is awake or not? You're just going over there like this. What if you disturb him if he's not awake yet?"
Zhou Xi was too lazy to waste words with him, so she waved Lu Ziqi's hand away and said directly, "I only booked one class for the three of us. Any later and we'll really be late."
Lu Ziqi thought for a moment and said, "Then I want to go in too."
Zhou Xi glanced at him and coldly said two words: "Whatever."
Jiang Xiyu had indeed woken up two minutes before they started talking.
After chatting with Bai Chengci, he took a nap for almost an hour.
Because I slept for too long, I felt a bit dizzy when I woke up. I took out my phone and saw that it was already 3 p.m.
His mother's first class was almost over.
Jiang Xiyu stared blankly for a few seconds, then got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face.
Just as Zhou Xi and Lu Ziqi came out of the bathroom.
Jiang Xiyu used her hand to smooth the hair that was wet from her forehead behind her head, and when her forehead was exposed, the aggressive look of her features became even more striking.
When he saw Zhou Xi and the others come in, he stopped fixing his hair. A few strands of wet hair, which he hadn't gathered up, fell down and hooked around his nose and cheeks, looking strangely attractive.
Zhou Xi glanced at him subtly, then said with an unchanged expression, "I think you should wake up by now."
Jiang Xiyu frowned: "You're late."
Didn't we agree to call him during class?
Zhou Xi smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, I've already asked the professor for a leave of absence for one class period."
He paused for a moment, then said, "You're still sleepy, you can sleep a little longer."
"I've had a good night's sleep," Jiang Xiyu said, after washing his face with cold water, he was now fully awake.
When the person walked up to him, Lu Ziqi slowly came to his senses. Then, as he followed Jiang Xiyu out, he asked, "Brother, did you sleep well?"
Jiang Xiyu pressed her neck with her hand and said softly, "It's alright."
"Are you going to class?"
"Ah."
The sound gradually faded away. Zhou Xi stood there, looked up at the wrinkled bed, and after a long while, turned and left.
……
After finishing her afternoon classes, Jiang Xiyu went to the affiliated high school to pick up her child.
Since it wasn't time for Jin Ya to get out of school yet, he found a shady spot to sit and play on his phone, but the first app he opened wasn't a game.
On WeChat, Bai Chengci sent him a message: "Are you free this Saturday?"
Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment and replied: 【?】
[Bai Chengci: Can I go on a date with you?]
Jiang Xiyu's lips twitched as she looked at the word "date".
"No, what's our relationship? We're already on a date?"
This time, there was no immediate reply. After a moment of silence, the other person started typing.
[Bai Chengci: Okay, we've only kissed.]
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
It was just a kiss, why do you have to say it eight hundred times a day?
Jiang Xiyu: [You should stop now, Bai Chengci.]
Bai Chengci: Hmm.
[Bai Chengci: If we had talked, I guess I could have gone on a date with you, but you and I are just playing around. Forget it, I'm not worthy...]
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Can't help it.
Stop giving me that sweet talk, what the hell are you trying to do?
[Bai Chengci: I want to spend Saturday with you too, and it would be even better if we could spend Sunday together as well. (loppy cute jpg)]
Jiang Xiyu: [The last person to be this clingy to me was Xu Yunzhi.]
[Bai Chengci: ?]
I couldn't take it anymore, so we broke up.
It means, if you keep clinging to me like this, you can get the hell out of here.
Jiang Xiyu thought her meaning was quite clear, but she didn't expect Bai Chengci to be such a remarkable person.
[Bai Chengci: But we can't break up...]
Jiang Xiyu's eyebrows furrowed.
[Bai Chengci: We haven't talked yet. (Cat blushing jpg)]
If we had talked about it, I probably wouldn't be so clingy...
After all that, the topic has come full circle.
Jiang Xiyu crushed the fallen leaves she had picked up, mistaking them for Bai Cheng porcelain, before typing a reply.
After sending the message, Jiang Xiyu immediately turned off her phone, choosing to avoid seeing it altogether.
Not far away, a Maybach was parked in a not-so-inconspicuous spot on the side of the road.
Bai Chengci sat in the car, resting her chin on her hand and staring at the message sent by Jiang Xiyu.
[Heart]: No way! Get lost!
He stared at the screen for a while, then glanced at the person leaning against the tree across the street. Their features were reflected in the car window, revealing a vague tenderness.
Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't.
At least he's replying to his own messages now.
This can be considered a positive development.
Bai Chengci sent back a cute apologetic emoji, then turned off her phone, tilting her head slightly against the car window, her eyes quietly gazing out the window.
The driver saw him through the rearview mirror and happened to catch a glimpse of the faint curve at the corner of Bai Chengci's lips.
He paused for a moment, looking at the young man across the street with some confusion.
The young master sat in his car all afternoon, neither going home nor saying a word, just staring at his phone. Whenever the young man appeared, the young master would have him drive and follow.
The driver had worked for the Bai family for a long time and rarely saw Bai Chengci smile.
Seeing that he seemed to be smiling, she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xiyu a couple more times.
Suddenly, a cold gaze swept over.
The driver paused, abruptly averting his gaze. When he looked again through the rearview mirror, the person in the back seat no longer had the slightest smile on their lips, remaining as indifferent as ever.
However, while the driver was stealing glances at him, Bai Chengci also glanced casually at the rearview mirror.
A very cold look in his eyes.
