Chapter 680 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
Seeing Bai Chengci's expression, Lu Ziqi knew he was acting. He immediately gritted his teeth, pointed at Bai Chengci with the wine bottle, and said, word by word, "You, don't, pretend, with me!"
Xu Yunzhi was furious and struggled to stop the person who was blocking her way, saying, "Let me go!"
Like two tigers with their fur standing on end, the young masters struggled to restrain the person and hurriedly advised, "That's enough, that's enough, let's talk this out, don't fight, Auntie is still here."
What should have been a perfect birthday party turned into such a mess; no one expected something like this to come to light.
But actually, it was a small matter. They knew Jiang Xiyu's sexual orientation, but if the object was Bai Chengci, it would make people sigh more or less.
They could understand Xu Yunzhi's strong reaction, since the two had talked before, but Lu Ziqi's reaction was indeed somewhat intriguing.
The young men spontaneously stood between Lu Ziqi, Xu Yunzhi, and Bai Chengci, and someone helped Bai Chengci up from the ground.
When Lu Ziqi saw this, he tried to push people aside and rush over.
Finally realizing what was happening, Lu's mother couldn't help but shout, "Lu Ziqi!"
Lu's mother's expression was already quite unpleasant, partly due to her dissatisfaction with the three people fighting, and partly because she had keenly sensed that her son was acting strangely.
When she first saw the video, Lu's mother was somewhat incredulous.
Even if Lu's mother was insensitive to homosexuality, she had to believe what she was seeing as she read on.
Bai Chengci and Xu Yunzhi were both considered by her to be the two most well-mannered girls in the industry, but they both ended up falling for the same man and even getting into a fight over him.
She was even a little worried about how their parents would accept the issue, but when she saw her son's reaction, she suddenly felt a little lost.
She didn't understand why her son was so angry, even to the point of physically assaulting Bai Chengci, when even if this matter came to light, it was a matter between Xu Yunzhi and Bai Chengci.
Recalling her son's attitude towards the young man when they first arrived at the birthday party, Lu's mother's heart sank to the bottom.
"Lu Ziqi, stop right now!"
Upon hearing his mother's words, Lu Ziqi's hand remained frozen in mid-air, unwilling to accept it. After a long while, when his mother spoke sternly for the second time, he lowered his hand holding the wine bottle, turned around, and his eyes were already red with anger.
He said to his mother, "Mom, Bai Chengci has gone too far!"
He didn't know why he was so angry, but when he saw Jiang Xiyu standing next to his mother, he suddenly called out in a somewhat aggrieved tone, "Brother!"
That one word, "Brother," immediately drew everyone's attention back.
As a result, all sorts of complicated gazes fell upon Jiang Xiyu.
Xu Yunzhi also turned around and looked at Jiang Xiyu; her eyes were already clearly filled with tears.
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask if what was in the video was real, but when he met Jiang Xiyu's emotionless gaze, his heart instantly ached with intense bitterness.
The footage shown in the video can't possibly be fake.
If Jiang Ge hadn't tacitly allowed Bai Chengci to get close, how could Bai Chengci have been able to stay so intimately with him?
But why?
Xu Yunzhi thought unwillingly.
Why is Bai Chengci able to be with him?
He and Jiang Ge were the ones who met first and started dating first. Even if they broke up, it shouldn't have been so quick for Bai Chengci to take advantage of the situation.
He didn't want to think about it, but he couldn't help thinking about the answer that made him jealous.
Lu Ziqi spoke first, his voice strained: "Brother, you guys really..."
Are they really together?
Lu Ziqi couldn't get any more questions out, but everyone present knew exactly what he wanted to ask.
Zhou Xi had been watching the show indifferently, but her expression changed after Lu Ziqi asked that question.
Even when Bai Chengci told Zhou Xi in Shenzhen that he and Jiang Xiyu were already together, Zhou Xi still didn't believe him.
Because he knew that Jiang Xiyu, who was used to freedom and being pursued, would only play games in the dating scene. Even if she agreed to be with someone, it would probably just be for fun, and the final result would be no different from her relationship with Xu Yunzhi, which would also end in a breakup.
Zhou Xi was certain of this.
He had always thought he understood Jiang Xiyu. Before watching those videos carefully, he believed that. But now that he had, Zhou Xi's certainty began to waver.
He looked at Jiang Xiyu, also waiting for an answer.
Jiang Xiyu did not answer immediately.
In the few seconds they waited for his answer, the expressions on the faces of the several people varied.
Jiang Xiyu's gaze swept over them one by one, finally settling on Lu Ziqi. He simply said to Lu Ziqi indifferently, "Sorry, I ruined your birthday."
Such silence is more like a tacit agreement.
Lu Ziqi and Xu Yunzhi froze on the spot, and Zhou Xi's expression instantly froze.
"So you admit it?" He walked forward, speaking mockingly. "All this talk of discord is just a lie, an act for us to see."
"I'm really curious, when did you two get together?"
Jiang Xiyu, who had been ignoring Zhou Xi since he came in, finally turned his attention to him this time. "If this is your goal, then you have achieved it. However, you didn't need to choose such a place at all."
"What I admit, what I deny, who I hang out with, and who I'm with are all my freedom. I thought I had already made things clear to you."
Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then glanced at them casually before suddenly laughing out loud: "Even if I don't explain, what does it matter? I don't need to explain to you at all."
What does his love life have to do with them?
Whatever their intentions towards him, that's their business, and Jiang Xiyu won't pay for it.
Zhou Xi wanted to embarrass him by making his affair with Bai Chengci public. Whether it was to vent his anger or to get revenge, Jiang Xiyu accepted it.
Because this behavior doesn't hurt him at all.
The reason Jiang Xiyu had kept it a secret before was because he was afraid of trouble. Now that the trouble was out in the open, all Jiang Xiyu wanted to do was leave, and he didn't even want to rejoin this circle.
Because all the young men present would remember this farce, and soon, the story would spread.
Bai Chengci was the first to notice the weariness in Jiang Xiyu's eyes. He frowned, then staggered towards Jiang Xiyu. Reaching her side, he whispered, "I'm sorry..."
Jiang Xiyu, who had never shown a truly indifferent side before, now had her eyelids slightly lowered, and not a single ray of light could be seen in her eyes.
He didn't look up at Bai Chengci.
When Bai Chengci couldn't get his gaze, her heart suddenly felt as if it were being squeezed tightly.
His breathing faltered for a moment, his eyes darting around as he tried to touch Jiang Xiyu's hand with his fingertips.
Just before they were about to touch, Jiang Xiyu coldly said "sorry" and left.
Seeing him about to leave, Lu Ziqi rushed forward to stop him in a moment of panic, "Brother, don't go!"
He organized this birthday party because he wanted to have a good time with Jiang Xiyu. He was already very satisfied to receive a gift personally prepared by Jiang Xiyu.
However, Zhou Xi ruined all of this.
Previously, he only thought that he admired Jiang Xiyu, so he always wanted to play with Jiang Xiyu. Lu Ziqi never thought about it in that way. Today, he would take action against Bai Chengci. He couldn't explain his feelings. He just felt completely confused.
It didn't have to be so chaotic. I could have had a happy birthday with my brother, but it's all because of Zhou Xi.
Lu Ziqi belatedly began to hate Zhou Xi.
Jiang Xiyu was stopped and paused in his tracks.
At the same time, Xu Yunzhi stepped forward and called out to him in a tearful voice, "Brother Jiang..."
Jiang Xiyu looked at them in silence for a while before sighing and saying, "Stop fooling around, okay?"
What's the point of letting him stay here? In this atmosphere, who can stay comfortably?
The young men exchanged glances, and seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, they laughed and tried to smooth things over: "Never mind, let's get together another day."
They echoed Lu Ziqi, saying, "Yes, yes, we'll celebrate your birthday another day."
Anyway, no one can eat today's cake.
Lu Ziqi knew that Jiang Xiyu couldn't stay any longer. Although he really wanted to keep him, he still accepted the excuse given to him by the others.
Seeing that he had moved aside, Jiang Xiyu left the birthday party without looking back.
Bai Chengci stood there, watching his departing figure, when suddenly the wounds on her body began to ache.
Despite the pain, his first instinct was to follow Jiang Xiyu out.
Lu Ziqi blocked his way, clearly preventing him from leaving.
Seeing this, Lu's mother had a headache. She stepped forward, pulled Lu Ziqi, and said sternly, "What are you making a fuss about? Come back with me."
After saying that, she helplessly dealt with the farce, maintaining a smile for the other young men, and said, "Thank you all for coming to Ziqi's birthday party today. Another day, I will host a banquet at home and invite you all to come and have fun."
Upon hearing this, the young men understood the meaning behind Lu's mother's words and quickly smiled and gave her face.
Lu's mother was adamant, and Lu Ziqi had no choice but to leave indignantly.
The birthday girl left, and the others had no reason to stay. After they left one after another, only Bai Chengci and Xu Yunzhi remained.
Xu Yunzhi didn't move, his gaze fixed on Bai Chengci, clearly still troubled by what had just happened.
Bai Chengci was in a hurry to catch up with Jiang Xiyu, but when she saw Xu Yunzhi still blocking her way, her tone turned cold: "Get out of the way."
Xu Yunzhi said, "You should give me an explanation."
Bai Chengci raised her eyes, her face pale, and a cold smile slowly appeared on her lips: "What explanation?"
Xu Yunzhi clenched her fist. "What do you think?"
Bai Chengci seemed to understand. She casually wiped the blood from her lips, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly and replied, "I liked him the first time I saw him at the hotel."
"You!" Xu Yunzhi was so angry that she stepped forward and grabbed Bai Chengci's collar with both hands.
Bai Chengci remained calm: "It's because you... couldn't keep him."
As he spoke, he pulled Xu Yunzhi's hand away. Unlike his previous show of weakness towards Jiang Xiyu, Bai Chengci's expression was calm at this moment, and his tone was undisguisedly cold, revealing sharpness and determination. "You can continue to try to take it, but I... will absolutely not give it to any of you."
