Chapter 630 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
No, you're giving me this look that makes it seem like I've bullied you. Who are you trying to impress?
Jiang Jinya was also stunned. The more she listened, the more familiar the words sounded, just like her best friend wanted something but pretended not to, and had to speak in a pretentious way.
Bai Chengci tried to get up by supporting herself on the sofa, but seemed to be unable to stand and fell back down.
After this happened twice, Jiang Xiyu couldn't bear to watch anymore and covered her face in dismay.
He couldn't stand it when others acted coquettishly towards him, especially towards his younger sister whom he had spoiled since childhood; he simply couldn't handle it.
Just as he was about to agree, Bai Chengci came to cause trouble again.
Jiang Xiyu took a deep breath, then coldly uttered a single word: "Teach".
Jiang Jinya looked at Bai Chengci with surprise.
Bai Chengci also raised her eyes.
Jiang Xiyu tilted his neck, then sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs like a lord, and said fiercely, "If you make a mistake, get out of here immediately."
Bai Chengci's jaw tightened for a moment, she almost laughed, but she held back and just gave a very soft "hmm".
Jiang Jinya was studying at the affiliated high school and often heard the math teachers praising Bai Chengci.
The title of "academic genius" is well-deserved. At least in terms of individual subject rankings, since Bai Chengci graduated, no student has ever achieved a 90% perfect score rate across all subjects.
Although explaining the test paper was a last-minute idea Jiang Jinya came up with to have him stay, her expression gradually became serious after Bai Chengci actually taught her how to solve the problems.
Jiang Xiyu had absolutely no interest in listening. She sat on the sofa for a short while before yawning.
Bai Chengci's deep voice suddenly paused, and then she looked at Jiang Xiyu immediately, asking with a seemingly gentle expression, "Did you not sleep well last night? Why don't you go back to sleep for a while? I can teach you how to be a little sister."
Jiang Jinya keenly caught the key words and immediately stopped writing to listen attentively.
What were just a few perfectly normal sentences were misunderstood by Jiang Xiyu, who couldn't help but snap: "I slept soundly on the questions I was teaching you, you don't need to tell me what to do."
Bai Chengci suddenly lowered her head, concealing the curve of her lips.
"it is good."
……
It turns out that math really is hypnotic.
Jiang Xiyu leaned back on the sofa and unknowingly fell asleep with her head tilted back.
The clock in the apartment slowly struck 4:30 p.m.
Jiang Xiyu slept for almost two hours, while Jiang Jingya had already finished her exam and gone back to her room to watch TV.
Bai Chengci sat on the sofa near Jiang Xiyu and stared at him quietly for a long time.
For some reason, Bai Chengci wasn't actually sleepy, but after staring at Jiang Xiyu for a long time and listening to his even breathing, Bai Chengci started to feel a little sleepy.
I really want to sleep next to him, to sleep in his arms.
But no, getting too close to him would wake him up and seem too deliberate.
So Bai Chengci leaned on the armrest of the sofa where Jiang Xiyu was sitting, watched for a while, and then dozed off for a bit.
It wasn't until his phone rang that Bai Chengci suddenly opened her eyes, took out her phone, immediately turned off the sound, and then checked her messages.
[Mom: Xiaoci, are you coming home tonight?]
Bai Chengci's gaze swept over Jiang Xiyu. Seeing that he hadn't been startled awake, she sat up slightly and replied, "I won't reply."
[Mom: Honey, you didn't come home last night. Where did you sleep?]
Bai Chengci pondered for a moment, then replied: "At a friend's house."
[Mom: But I asked Xiaozhi, and he said you weren't at his house.]
In Cen Yi's memory, her son had almost never mentioned having friends. The only person he had contact with and could be considered a friend was Xu Yunzhi.
So she was puzzled: what kind of friend could make her son stay out all night?
Bai Chengci: [Other friends.]
[Mom: Okay, Mom just wanted to say that tomorrow is Sunday, your dad is off work, and our family hasn't had a meal together in a long time, so we wanted to invite you home for dinner.]
Bai Chengci glanced at Jiang Xiyu, wondering if she could stay the next night.
So he replied: "Yes, I'll try."
I'll try my best not to reply.
Cen Yi didn't know that her son's "try his best" meant that; she was just happy that he had made new friends and gave him a few words of advice.
Okay, then have fun with your friend. Oh, and when you visit someone's home, remember to bring a gift; don't be impolite.
Bai Chengci: [Hmm.]
He paused for a moment, then typed again: "Mom, could you please prepare some bowls for me?"
The person on the other end was shocked: [? Good son, no one comes to deliver gifts like bowls.]
I know I have to pay compensation.
【…】
[Mom: You broke someone's bowl on your first visit to their home?]
Bai Chengci: [Oops, by accident.]
[Mom: It's not easy to compensate for just one bowl, is it? Why don't you buy something else as an apology?]
Bai Chengci: [Not one.]
【mom:?】
Bai Cheng Porcelain: [A set, approximately several dozen pieces.]
【…】
Son, the fact that you weren't kicked out is because your friend is a good person...
This isn't visiting someone's home; it's clearly raiding it.
Bai Chengci: [He is the best.]
【…】
Bai Chengci: [He made me noodles, cooked me porridge, prepared my clothes, and then put me to bed. Even when I broke a bowl, he didn't blame me; he was just worried about me and even wanted to personally take me home…]
After Bai Chengci finished speaking, the smile on her lips deepened.
Jiang Xiyu opened her eyes and just then saw Bai Chengci laughing at her phone.
She can still laugh.
Jiang Xiyu narrowed his eyes and stared at Bai Chengci lazily for a couple of seconds.
Bai Chengci seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his gaze towards her.
When their eyes met, the smile on his lips vanished.
"You're awake."
Jiang Xiyu asked, "What time is it?"
Bai Chengci said, "A little after four o'clock."
As Jiang Xiyu sat up, a blanket slipped off her.
Damn, no wonder it feels hot.
Jiang Xiyu raised his hand and touched his neck; it was covered in sweat.
Bai Chengci saw it too, and handed over two tissues.
Jiang Xiyu took it and wiped it a couple of times. She glanced at the time in the apartment; it was almost five o'clock.
He stood up and said to Bai Chengci, "Go back."
Bai Chengci's expression remained unchanged as she said, "My mom said she wants to spend some time alone with my dad and told me not to go back yet. Could you please let me stay one more night?"
Jiang Xiyu remained expressionless.
Bai Chengci slowly stood up, reached out and gently took Jiang Xiyu's arm. After taking it, she shook it and pleaded softly, imitating Jiang Jingya, "Is it okay? Please."
"..."
Jiang Xiyu suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body.
Bai Chengci remained completely unfazed, as if he were simply learning to do something perfectly normal.
Jiang Xiyu pulled his hand away, and then, as if remembering something, coldly snorted, "There's no bowl for you."
Bai Chengci thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's okay."
Jiang Xiyu: "?"
“I can wait until you finish eating before I eat…” Bai Chengci’s eyes flickered, her gaze slowly falling on Jiang Xiyu’s lips, and then she said softly, “I don’t mind.”
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
