Chapter 662 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
Back in her room, Jiang Xiyu immediately texted Bai Chengci, demanding an explanation: "How did you know where I live?"
When he was making the video call earlier, he felt that the background behind Bai Chengci looked familiar. Now that he thought about it, it was similar to the decoration of their suite.
Jiang Xiyu demanded, "Bai Chengci, are you fucking following me around like a madman?"
The person who usually replies to a message instantly was quiet for several minutes this time.
Jiang Xiyu waited a while, then impatiently typed again: 【Reply!】
The other side is typing—
After struggling several times, he slowly replied with two words.
Bai Chengci: No.
Jiang Xiyu laughed, though her teeth still ached.
Don't pretend with me, it's not your place. Besides you, who else would order those dishes? They're so sour they're sickening.
[Bai Chengci: (loopy crying jpg)]
Jiang Xiyu: [Heh.]
After a few seconds of awkward silence, Bai Chengci readily apologized: "I'm sorry, I won't do it again."
Jiang Xiyu: [You want a next time? Believe me or not, if I catch you, I'll force-feed you vinegar.]
[Bai Chengci: No need to refill.]
Jiang Xiyu: [?]
[Bai Chengci: I'm already so jealous. (Jealous kitten jpg)]
Jiang Xiyu looked at the jealous emoji and instantly didn't want to reply anymore.
In fact, Bai Chengci arrived in Shenzhen shortly after Jiang Xiyu and Zhou Xi arrived.
Uncle Chen not only helped him find out Jiang Xiyu's itinerary, but also found out which hotel he and Zhou Xi would be staying at.
However, Bai Chengci did not know that Jiang Xiyu and Zhou Xi were living in the same suite before this.
Now I know, Bai Chengci is in a very bad state.
In another suite.
Bai Chengci stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with her phone in hand. After waiting for a while and seeing that the other party did not reply, she lowered her hand and stared silently at the night view outside the window.
He couldn't help but think about what Jiang Xiyu was doing, and he also couldn't help but think about what he would talk about with Zhou Xi.
Will they enjoy the meal? Or will they have a pleasant conversation?
Rather than saying Jiang Xiyu was on a business trip with Zhou Xilai, it would be more accurate to say that this was a private moment that someone had specially arranged for Jiang Xiyu to spend alone with him.
Leaving Haicheng means leaving behind those people in Haicheng.
Just the two of them.
Are two people sharing a suite?
Bai Chengci's face was covered in shadows, and his eyes became gloomy.
No matter how calm he tried to be, he still couldn't alleviate the feeling of unease in his heart.
A few seconds later, the figure reflected in the French windows suddenly moved. He seemed to have finally reached his limit and picked up his phone to text Jiang Xiyu:
"I'm next door, come over and sleep with me..."
After typing, Bai Chengci's finger hovered over the send button. He hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to send it, he received a message from the other party.
[Heart emoji]: When are you going to get rid of this persistent, haunting habit of yours?
[Heart emoji]: Don't let me catch you, this time I really will beat you up, really.
You can't accurately tell the emotions of the person sending the message just by looking at the words, because words are cold and impersonal.
But Bai Chengci felt that those messages seemed to convey a sense of helplessness, a bit of annoyance, and, vaguely, a touch of cuteness.
Unable to grasp Jiang Xiyu's psychology, Bai Chengci left the dozen or so words she had been deleting and rewriting in the chat box unsent.
What if I really get angry?
He's not good at comforting people.
Every time I try to please Jiang Xiyu, I feel like I always end up making things worse. Every time I try to tell him the truth, I always end up making him laugh in exasperation.
He had already learned very well.
Why is it still not working...?
Why can't we get any closer?
He didn't rush over to find him tonight; he just ordered some dishes.
He didn't want Jiang Xiyu and Zhou Xi's dinner to go smoothly, nor did he want them to talk, much less stay together.
He really wanted to take the person away.
However, Jiang Xiyu will get angry.
If he goes there, Jiang Xiyu will definitely be angry.
He didn't want his relationship with him to be discovered, but only if they had a legitimate relationship.
Because he was afraid of angering Jiang Xiyu, and because he cared about his feelings, he always acted timidly.
But actually, this isn't him at all.
If it were him, he would not hesitate to go and drag Jiang Xiyu over, then lock her up here and spend the whole night with her.
Even if Zhou Xi chases after him, he won't pay any attention.
Even if he can't stand himself like this, he won't stop.
Bai Chengci was certain that Zhou Xi's purpose for this trip was not pure.
Therefore, every minute and second of mental struggle becomes torture.
In this torment, Bai Chengci's eyes dimmed, and the five fingers gripping the phone tightened uncontrollably.
Until finally, with a "bang".
The phone was mercilessly smashed to the ground, the screen lit up, and then shattered into pieces.
……
Over the next few days, Zhou Xi got really busy here. On the fifth day, the matter that Zhou Xi had come specifically to discuss was finally settled.
The partners arranged a drinking party, and Jiang Xiyu went along.
At the banquet, a group of people of some status and position were drinking and laughing with Zhou Xi, a young junior, while Zhou Xi sat calmly at the head of the table, only raising his glass with a fake smile.
After talking things out with Jiang Xiyu, he simply stopped pretending altogether.
Even on such occasions, Jiang Xiyu must be kept under one's watchful eye.
Normally, there shouldn't be any outsiders in this kind of setting. Even bodyguards should be waiting outside the private room.
But at the moment.
In the corner, the light was dim and scattered.
A figure stood there, his black shirt and suit trousers accentuating his tall and slender frame. He exuded a chilling aura that made him hard to ignore.
Everyone in the private room noticed.
Some noticed Zhou Xi's gaze shifting towards Jiang Xiyu and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Who is that young master Zhou with?"
Zhou Xi took a couple of sips of wine, seemingly in a good mood.
Upon hearing this, he glanced at Jiang Xiyu, then chuckled and said, "She's my friend."
"Since he's your friend, Young Master Zhou, it's not appropriate to let him stand there."
"Yeah, yeah, why don't we just invite them over for a couple of drinks?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes kept turning towards the corner, Zhou Xi glanced at them, his smile fading, and said, "He doesn't like drinking parties."
"I see..." someone said with regret.
"By the way, is Young Master Zhou settling in well in Shenzhen?"
"It's alright." Zhou Xi's words were indeed somewhat truthful.
In Shenzhen, without those eyesores, I naturally get used to it.
"That's good. In that case, please visit Shenzhen more often in the future. When you go back this time, please give our regards to your father."
Those present had interests that were somewhat connected to the Zhou family, and they knew that this young master of the Zhou family was not someone who could be easily fooled, so they all performed the proper courtesies.
Zhou Xi knew this, and just smiled and said, "You flatter me. My father really couldn't get away, otherwise he wouldn't have sent me. Please don't take offense, uncles."
With that, Zhou Xi picked up his wine glass again and said, "On behalf of my father, I would like to offer a toast to you all."
"Okay, okay, haha."
……
The social interactions in the private room were nothing more than a few smiling tigers exchanging polite words.
At first, Zhou Xi even let him sit next to her.
Jiang Xiyu refused.
After all, what kind of situation is it for him to just sit there in such a setting?
But Zhou Xi wouldn't let him go outside the private room, so Jiang Xiyu had no choice but to stand in the corner.
He stood fairly straight at first, but later he got a little annoyed by what he heard, so his posture loosened, and he leaned slightly against the wall behind him and took out his phone to play.
About half an hour later, the social gathering finally came to an end.
When those people showed signs of leaving, Zhou Xi symbolically stood up and watched them go.
Once everyone had left, the private room fell silent.
Jiang Xiyu didn't want to stand there for another minute and planned to leave.
Zhou Xi called out to him, "Wait, don't go yet."
Jiang Xiyu looked at him questioningly.
Zhou Xi called over the waiter again, had them remove all the dishes, and ordered the same dishes again, then had Jiang Xiyu sit down to eat.
Jiang Xiyu hadn't eaten dinner, and since they had been chatting late, she didn't refuse.
During this time, Zhou Xi simply sat to the side, watching Jiang Xiyu while drinking.
He didn't speak, and Jiang Xiyu wouldn't take the initiative to talk to him either; she just ate her food by herself.
After finishing his meal, Zhou Xi took out a cigarette and lit one.
Jiang Xiyu raised an eyebrow upon smelling the smoke and glanced at him sideways.
Zhou Xi had seen Jiang Xiyu smoke before, so he handed him his cigarette, gesturing for him to take a puff.
Jiang Xiyu, however, focused his gaze on the cigarette pack on the dining table.
Zhou Xi paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and pushed the cigarette case in front of Jiang Xiyu.
"Try it, this cigarette is pretty good."
Jiang Xiyu really wanted to smoke.
He used to smoke a lot, but later, because Jiang Jingya was around, he tried to smoke less.
Zhou Xi's cigarettes are certainly very good.
Before Jiang Xiyu could say anything, Zhou Xi took the initiative to open the cigarette pack.
There's one cigarette left in there.
Zhou Xi took it and handed it to Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu took the fire and held it to her lips, just about to ask Zhou Xi for a light.
Zhou Xi, however, took the initiative to raise his hand and light a cigarette for him with a lighter.
Jiang Xiyu lowered her eyes and said thank you in a somewhat indifferent manner.
His words were cold, as was his expression.
That's precisely why his cold expression and the way he holds a cigarette make it easier to arouse a desire to conquer him.
Zhou Xi watched him take a puff and asked, "How is it? Is it good?"
Jiang Xiyu smiled slightly and casually gave her evaluation: "Pretty good."
Zhou Xi watched him exhale smoke rings quietly for a long while before asking, "Have you thought about what I asked you the other day?"
Jiang Xiyu, a cigarette dangling from his lips, let out a sneer: "So eager?"
Zhou Xi's gaze deepened as he stared at Jiang Xiyu's lips, a dark look gradually emerging in his eyes.
He stood up, placed his hands on the back of Jiang Xiyu's chair, then leaned closer to him, his breathing a little heavy, and replied in a deep voice without any attempt to hide his presence in Jiang Xiyu's ear: "Of course."
"I can't wait."
Jiang Xiyu didn't want to be so close to him, so she decided to get up and subtly distance herself from him.
However, as soon as he stood up, his figure swayed uncontrollably, and he became somewhat unsteady.
Seeing that he was unsteady on his feet, Zhou Xi reached out to support him and suddenly asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xiyu instinctively tried to push him away, but she couldn't resist the overwhelming dizziness that was washing over her.
Oh shit.
"you……"
Zhou Xi said, "I originally wanted to wait for you to consider it slowly..."
Feeling someone put their arm around her shoulder, Jiang Xiyu opened her lips, as if gritting her teeth, and called out, "Zhou Xi."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cigarette fell from his fingertips.
