Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Chapter 698 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and

On the first night that Bai Chengci officially stayed, Jiang Xiyu didn't let him sleep in the bed because of Bai Chengci's extremely honest three words. Instead, he went to his second uncle's house next door to borrow a small bed.

The crib was made of bamboo, which was very cool to sleep on in the summer. However, because the room was air-conditioned, Bai Chengci felt the bed was a bit cold after sleeping for a short while at night.

It was still early night, the curtains were drawn, and the room was very dark, with only the temperature numbers on the air conditioner emitting a faint light.

Using this little bit of light, Bai Chengci carefully sat up, stared at Jiang Xiyu's sleeping back for a while, and finally couldn't resist wanting to crawl into that warm quilt.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiyu was too busy during the day to wake up, so he was fast asleep and showed no signs of waking up when Bai Chengci climbed into bed. He simply followed the curve of the bed and changed to a flat position to continue sleeping.

Bai Chengci had already put her knees on the bed when she suddenly saw Jiang Xiyu move, and she froze, afraid to move. She didn't know how long she remained in the same position, but after confirming that Jiang Xiyu hadn't woken up, Bai Chengci finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He tried to move as quietly as possible. After lying down on his side next to Jiang Xiyu, he didn't rush to get into bed. Instead, he stared at Jiang Xiyu in the dim light for a while before slowly getting closer. Just by feeling the body temperature emanating from the other person, Bai Chengci felt hot all over.

Jiang Xiyu woke up early the next morning feeling hot, especially around her neck, where she could feel a constant warm current flowing over her.

He instinctively tried to get away from the heat, but when he opened his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Bai Chengci sleeping on her side next to him, her face almost buried in his shoulder.

His face was slightly flushed, his eyelashes were long and curled, his breathing was even, and his eyes and brows were relaxed. Just by looking at him, you could tell that he was sleeping very well.

Jiang Xiyu stared blankly for a while, and after a long silence, she wondered how Bai Chengci had gotten onto the bed.

The curtains couldn't block out the light coming in from outside. Jiang Xiyu lowered his eyelids and, after fully waking up, tried to get up, but couldn't. He then discovered that Bai Chengci's arm was wrapped around his waist, holding him tightly with the blanket, completely enveloping him.

Jiang Xiyu looked on helplessly, thinking, "No wonder it's so hot."

In contrast to his heat, Bai Chengci's body was rather cool.

With the air conditioner blowing directly on the bed and Bai Chengci not covered by a blanket, Jiang Xiyu originally wanted to kick her off the bed, but when he touched Bai Chengci's cold legs, he held back.

Without thinking too much about it, and worried that he might catch a cold, he reached out and touched Bai Chengci's face.

Sure enough, her face was also ice-cold.

Jiang Xiyu frowned and patted Bai Chengci's face.

"Wake up."

Bai Chengci's eyelids twitched, but she didn't wake up.

Jiang Xiyu patted him a few more times and called out, "Bai Chengci?"

After being called a few times, Bai Chengci finally woke up, but her eyelids were still drooping and her breathing was heavy.

"Good morning..." His voice was a little hoarse.

After hearing this, Jiang Xiyu said, "What do you mean 'early'? Let me go right now."

At first, Jiang Xiyu thought that Bai Chengci's rosy cheeks meant she had slept well, but it turned out that she had almost been frozen into an ice sculpture.

Bai Chengci moved slightly, somewhat reluctant to let go, but still obediently followed her instructions in her dazed state, pulling her arm and leg back obediently.

Jiang Xiyu confirmed that Bai Chengci had a low body temperature, so after sitting up, she covered Bai Chengci with the blanket she was wearing.

"I really don't know why you came here to sleep. Do you have to make yourself suffer?"

With a beep, the air conditioner was turned off.

With the cold wind gone, Bai Chengci felt the warmth remaining under the blanket and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm cold..."

"Didn't I give you a blanket?" Jiang Xiyu glanced at the bamboo bed next to him, where Loopy lay all alone. He didn't know whether to say that his owner was thoughtful or that his owner was an idiot for not covering himself with a blanket but giving it one.

Everyone knows to cover their dolls with blankets, but the hell doesn't they know to cover themselves?

Jiang Xiyu frowned and looked down at Bai Chengci, somewhat speechless.

Bai Chengci raised his eyelids and stared at him for a few seconds. Knowing that Jiang Xiyu was definitely cursing him in his heart, he hummed softly and explained weakly, "I was afraid of waking you up, so you wouldn't let me sleep in the bed."

Jiang Xiyu: "..."

Bai Chengci closed her eyes slightly, seemingly with a smile, burying her face in Jiang Xiyu's pillow. She sniffed it, then continued in a muffled voice, "Holding you makes me warm... Your body temperature is high, and you smell so good. I can't sleep without you..."

Jiang Xiyu was at a loss after hearing this.

Within two days of arriving, I had both had a car accident and caught a cold.

Jiang Xiyu was neither stupid nor unable to understand.

He looked away and remained silent for a while before sighing and saying, "Go back to sleep, I'll go buy you some medicine."

The bed moved slightly.

Jiang Xiyu got out of bed and reached for the short-sleeved shirt that was on the bedside table.

He habitually sleeps shirtless, and Bai Chengci knew this, so she stared at Jiang Xiyu's back muscles and tattoos for a while.

The light filtering through the curtains illuminated the room, creating a perfect balance of light and shadow. As Jiang Xiyu raised his hand to put on his clothes, it outlined his well-built back and narrow waist.

Bai Chengci's eyes darkened slightly.

Only after Jiang Xiyu finished dressing did he casually withdraw his gaze, burying his slightly aggressive eyes and flushed face even deeper into the pillow.

I really want to do it...

*

After Jiang Xiyu left, Bai Chengci lay on Jiang Xiyu's bed and fell into a deep sleep again.

This sleep wasn't cold at all; on the contrary, it was quite warm.

Perhaps it was the warmth of the sunlight streaming in from outside, or perhaps it was the lingering warmth of the blankets that made him feel comfortable.

When I woke up, it was already eleven o'clock.

Jiang Xiyu had already bought the medicine and prepared breakfast.

However, he did not wake her up directly, but waited for Bai Chengci to wake up on her own after she had slept enough.

During that time, he borrowed a hoe from his second uncle and cleared the small plot of land in front of his house. Later, he came back and sat in the yard with Jiang Jinya picking vegetables.

When Bai Chengci got dressed and went out, she looked rather sickly because of her cold.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Xiyu turned around and saw him leaning against the doorway. She kicked the chair next to her, gesturing for him to sit down.

When Bai Chengci approached, Jiang Jinya chuckled and said, "Brother Bai, you got up so late, it's almost lunchtime."

Bai Chengci didn't speak, but just smiled slightly.

Looking at his face, which was almost glowing white in the sunlight, Jiang Xiyu said, "Sit here and bask in the sun for a while."

Bai Chengci nodded, sat down, and looked at the vegetables they had picked, intending to lend a hand.

The next second, Jiang Xiyu slapped his hand away and said, "Don't move."

Bai Chengci pursed her lips and said calmly, "I can help."

"What help will you be after you've finished picking them?" Jiang Xiyu found it amusing.

It seems that Bai Chengci can't distinguish between vegetables that have been picked properly and those that haven't.

Bai Chengci was quiet for a moment, then asked weakly, "Then what can I do?"

“I’m so grateful you can sit here and sweat it out,” Jiang Xiyu said.

Jiang Jinya listened and then laughed.

Jiang Xiyu looked at her, thought for a moment, and then said, "Go, make a cup of cold medicine for your brother Bai. I've put the medicine on the kitchen table."

Jiang Jinya smiled and nodded, "Okay, brother."

Jiang Xiyu handed over the vegetables she had picked, saying, "Take these vegetables with you too."

"Okay."

After Jiang Jingya went to the kitchen, Jiang Xiyu asked Bai Chengci, "Are you dizzy?"

Bai Chengci shook her head, then smiled slightly at this concern, and said, "I'm not dizzy anymore."

Jiang Xiyu looked at his smile, leaned back in her chair slightly, and warned, "Behave yourself while you're here. If you get sick again, you're going to get back to Haicheng."

This seemingly fierce statement allowed Bai Chengci to keenly detect a flaw.

He stared at Jiang Xiyu, thought for a long time, and then asked seriously, "Does not getting sick mean you don't have to leave?"

In the sunlight, Bai Chengci's face was radiant, especially with his sickly appearance, which made him look even more innocent. His eyes were also very serious, and his light-colored pupils seemed somewhat pitiful in the light, making it hard to refuse him.

Jiang Xiyu met his gaze for a few seconds, then slowly looked up at the azure sky. A few seconds later, the corners of his lips curved into a casual smile, giving Bai Chengci only an ambiguous answer: "I can consider it..."

Bai Chengci stared at the curve of Jiang Xiyu's lips, her throat seemingly dry as she swallowed.

He thought to himself, Jiang Xiyu is indeed more responsive to gentle persuasion than force; the coquettishness she learned from her sister is more effective than anything else.

"I'll be good, cough cough..." Bai Chengci covered her lips, naturally concealing the smile that had appeared on her lips.

Upon hearing that cough, Jiang Xiyu got up and said she would go cook.

Bai Chengci instinctively wanted to follow him.

Jiang Xiyu didn't even turn her head, only ordering, "Continue drying."

Bai Chengci then sat down silently again.

Half an hour later, Bai Chengci received a phone call from her biological mother.

Cen Yi made a video call, but Bai Chengci switched to voice.

Over the phone, Cen Yi asked him how he was doing in the countryside.

Bai Chengci felt warm all over from the sun. After thinking for a moment, she replied that she was doing very well.

Cen Yi was relieved and smiled, saying, "That's good. I heard the scenery in the countryside is beautiful. Why don't you take a couple of pictures and show them to your mother?"

Bai Chengci hummed in agreement, her voice hoarse: "Later."

Sensing something was wrong, Cen Yi asked, "Son, does your voice sound like you have a cold?"

Bai Chengci didn't hide anything, "Yes."

Cen Yi found it a bit strange and said, "How come you caught a cold in the middle of summer?"

Bai Chengci simply said that she hadn't noticed.

Cen Yi gave a couple of words of advice, still a little worried.

After all, this was the first time Bai Chengci had ever been so far from home since she was a child, so she couldn't help but worry about her.

Bai Chengci said naturally, "This was an accident. He took very good care of me."

Cen Yi listened to the undisguised happiness in his tone and remained silent.

In front of her mother, Bai Chengci wanted to leave a good impression on Jiang Xiyu, so she added, "I won't get sick next time, otherwise he will be very worried."

Cen Yi: "?"

After a brief, subtle silence on the phone, Cen Yi finally spoke: "Alright, just be careful at other people's houses."

Bai Chengci frowned slightly after hearing this, then calmly corrected her mother, saying, "It's not just anyone."

Cen Yi: "What?"

Bai Chengci emphasized lightly, "He's my boyfriend."

"..."

The phone went silent for a few seconds, leaving Cen Yi speechless.

She really wanted to ignore the sense of pride that her son exuded when he said those three words over the phone, but she couldn't.

My son, who is usually very quiet at home, becomes incredibly outspoken once he starts dating, as if he's afraid no one will know. He even dared to be direct with his dad that time.

Even now, Cen Yi feels a chill run down her spine when she thinks about it.

She hesitated for a moment before changing her words and saying to Bai Chengci, "Then... be careful at your boyfriend's house."

Bai Chengci then gave a satisfied "hmm".

"..."

Cen Yi couldn't continue and was about to hang up the phone, but before hanging up, she still asked Bai Chengci to give her two photos.

Bai Chengci agreed.

As soon as he hung up the phone, he sent the photos he had taken to his mother.

It wasn't the landscape photo Cen Yi wanted, but a photo of a rice cooker and a bowl of fried rice.

Cen Yi asked a question mark, clearly puzzled.

Bai Chengci leaned back in her chair, basking in the sun, and patiently explained to her.

The first picture shows the rice he cooked, which his boyfriend taught him to cook. The second picture shows fried rice with eggs, which his boyfriend made for him.

Cen Yi looked at the two photos with mixed feelings, and finally replied with a message.

Thumbs up/Thumbs up/Thumbs up

Bai Chengci: [Smiling]

*

After lunch was prepared, the three of them ate in the yard with their bowls.

Jiang Jinya was the first to finish eating, and then she said she wanted to go out for a walk.

Jiang Xiyu did not stop her, but only told her to come back soon.

After finishing their meal, Jiang Xiyu cleared away the dishes and prepared to wash them, but Bai Chengci stayed close to him.

He felt warm all over because of the sun.

When they got too close, Jiang Xiyu felt like there was a furnace swaying around her.

Finally, Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but tell Bai Chengci to stay away from her.

Bai Chengci's gaze lingered on his face for a long while before she leaned in and kissed his cheek, replying, "Okay."

The moment they kissed, Jiang Xiyu wanted to smash the bowl over Bai Chengci's face.

Bai Chengci took two steps back in time to avoid it.

However, the distance wasn't much; wherever Jiang Xiyu went, he followed, completely unable to stop.

Even after everyone else sat down to rest, Bai Chengci still hovered around him.

Jiang Xiyu didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but he was really annoyed by his constant nagging, so she asked him what he wanted.

Bai Chengci then obediently stopped, and after thinking for a moment, she confessed, "I want to sweat, I want to get better quickly."

Jiang Xiyu gave him a puzzled and speechless look.

"nerve."

Bai Chengci suddenly walked up to Jiang Xiyu, squatted down, and looked directly into Jiang Xiyu's eyes.

After a moment, he explained calmly, "If I get better, I won't infect you anymore..."

Jiang Xiyu: "?"

Bai Chengci's gaze lowered slightly, staring at Jiang Xiyu's lips and Adam's apple moving slightly.

Jiang Xiyu saw this and asked him, "What are you doing?"

Bai Chengci said calmly, "It's been many days."

Jiang Xiyu raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "What?"

"It's been so many days, and you haven't kissed me." Bai Chengci replied expressionlessly, as if she were talking about something very serious.

Jiang Xiyu: "..."

Bai Chengci lowered her eyes, her tone almost a sigh: "So I want to get better quickly..."

Jiang Xiyu listened quietly, her expression unreadable.

Bai Chengci paused for a moment before finally stating her purpose: "Because I want to kiss you, I want the kind of kiss where we exchange **..."

"When I'm better, will you kiss me?"

After saying that, Bai Chengci gently took Jiang Xiyu's hand and pressed her face against his palm.

Jiang Xiyu didn't pull his hand away immediately. Instead, he felt the burning heat of the palm against his hand. After a long while, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He glanced at Bai Chengci and asked, "Is this why you chased after me?"

Chase after me for a kiss? Or perhaps we'll go to bed?

Bai Chengci seemed to understand the meaning in Jiang Xiyu's eyes, and fearing that he would misunderstand, she said, "No, that's not it."

Jiang Xiyu pressed further, "What is that?"

Without thinking, Bai Chengci turned her head and quickly pressed her lips to Jiang Xiyu's palm, whispering, "I want to pursue you..."

Jiang Xiyu remained silent for a few seconds, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with the answer, but looked at Bai Chengci with a half-smile.

After a long while, he finally relented, tossed aside his phone, and smiled casually: "Then... let's kiss."

He sat on the bed, taller than Bai Chengci.

So when they kissed, Bai Chengci's face was cupped in his hands.

Jiang Xiyu didn't care much about the cold, so the kiss was deep. Bai Chengci tilted his head back in response, and his response was also very serious, as if to express that this kiss was the kind of intimate kiss he wanted.
