Chapter 685 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
Footsteps came from outside the bathroom. After hearing them, Bai Chengci whispered to the person on the phone, "Mom, I'm hanging up now."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Chengci opened the bathroom door and saw Jiang Xiyu standing in the doorway wearing only a pair of shorts. Perhaps because he had been woken up by the phone ringing, his eyes and brows showed a hint of sleepiness, and his muscular physique and tight waistline were exposed.
Bai Chengci watched quietly, her gaze flickering almost imperceptibly.
Jiang Xiyu casually ran her fingers through her hair, intending to go in for a shower. However, Bai Chengci stood motionless like a gatekeeper. Jiang Xiyu grew impatient and finally looked up at him, saying, "What are you standing there for? Come out here."
Bai Chengci's gaze lingered on Jiang Xiyu's chest for a few seconds, but she did not choose to leave. Instead, she silently stepped aside to let Jiang Xiyu in.
Jiang Xiyu didn't move at this moment. He looked Bai Chengci up and down and noticed that he was only wearing his own underwear. He said unhappily, "Why are you wearing my underwear?"
Bai Chengci lowered her eyes, paused for a moment, and explained, "I'm sorry, I wore the wrong clothes."
His expression was indifferent when he said this, which was completely inconsistent with his exposed body.
Jiang Xiyu knew he was thick-skinned, and seeing that he was already dressed up, she didn't bother to say anything.
However, Bai Chengci's next question was: "Aren't you wearing anything?"
As he spoke, his gaze was lowered, his eyes seemingly landing cautiously on Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu paused, then laughed speechlessly. He walked in and bumped Bai Chengci's shoulder hard, saying, "Who the hell taught you to be so slutty?"
Bai Chengci staggered from the impact, then clutched her shoulder and looked at Jiang Xiyu.
He didn't answer Jiang Xiyu's question, but stared at the tattoo on Jiang Xiyu's back. He lowered his eyes and suddenly asked, "Do you want to take a shower?"
Jiang Xiyu ignored him.
When Bai Chengci received no reply, she silently closed the bathroom door.
Jiang Xiyu caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that he hadn't left, she lazily said, "What, do you want to shower with me?"
"Is that alright?" Bai Chengci said. "I can help you scrub your back."
Jiang Xiyu turned around with a stern face and saw that Bai Chengci's hand was already on the edge of his thin clothing, as if he was about to take it off at any moment. Jiang Xiyu paused, then chuckled coldly: "Did I agree to that?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chengci paused in his actions, then slowly walked up to Jiang Xiyu and kissed her cheek.
"Please promise me, okay? I want to do well..."
Although his face showed no expression, there was an inexplicable hint of ingratiation.
Jiang Xiyu didn't push him away, but just said with disdain, "You really have too much trouble."
Bai Chengci smiled and leaned in sweetly, "Mmm, I want to shower with you."
……
After taking a shower, Jiang Xiyu sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed, watching Bai Chengci rummage through the clothes in the closet.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Xiyu saw that he still hadn't found it, and said impatiently, "It's just a pair of underwear, is it that hard to find?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chengci slowly straightened up, holding the things in her hands, and said, "We only found one."
Then he lowered his head again, looking as if he really couldn't find a second option.
Jiang Xiyu cursed under his breath, then walked over in annoyance.
He searched through the closet for a long time, but couldn't find a second one.
Jiang Xiyu looked at Bai Chengci with a dark expression.
Bai Chengci met Jiang Xiyu's gaze, blinked slowly, and looked innocent.
Jiang Xiyu thought about it. He usually didn't prepare many of these things, but he wouldn't be without a single spare.
When did it start to decrease?
It seems to have started from when Bai Chengci came to his house.
Not only that, he also made Bai Chengci wear so many clothes.
He would take the clothes home with him after each use, and Jiang Xiyu's wardrobe visibly shrank.
Now that he didn't even have any extra clothes to wear, Jiang Xiyu was furious and cursed Bai Chengci, "You came to my house just to steal my clothes, didn't you?"
"..."
Bai Chengci was momentarily stunned and looked at him with confusion.
Jiang Xiyu reached out and snatched the one from his hand, saying fiercely, "It's gone. You can go naked now."
After Bai Chengci understood the meaning of Jiang Xiyu's earlier comment about "wearing whatever clothes you like," she subtly raised the corners of her lips, then suppressed her urge to smile. After a long pause, she said somewhat apologetically, "Then I'll wear the ones I was wearing earlier..."
Jiang Xiyu clicked her tongue, frowned, and asked, "Why are you wearing mine? Don't you have any yourself?"
Bai Chengci's eyelashes trembled slightly, then she answered without changing her expression, "It's dirty."
My clothes were stained with red wine because of the fight last night.
Bai Chengci glanced at Jiang Xiyu, pondered for a moment, and then whispered, "It's okay, I can go back wearing my own dirty clothes. My mother shouldn't scold me."
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Seriously, I hope your mother will just beat you to death.
After Bai Chengci finished speaking, she went around to the foot of the bed to pick up her clothes that had fallen to the ground.
When I picked it up, the suit and shirt were indeed dirty, and there was a faint smell of alcohol about them.
Jiang Xiyu took two deep breaths, threw the things in her hand onto the bed, and then casually took a set of clothes from the closet and threw them at Bai Chengci.
"Put on."
Bai Chengci caught it in time, her fingertips fumbling around for a moment, then she raised her eyes slightly and chuckled softly, "Thank you, husband."
"..."
Her deep male voice, yet she insisted on calling him by such a clingy, affectionate nickname, as if she were being coquettish.
Jiang Xiyu had heard Bai Chengci call him that before, but he still shrugged slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
After a long pause, Jiang Xiyu said expressionlessly, "Don't call me that."
It would be really bad if his sister heard that, especially at his home.
Bai Chengci asked, "Why?"
Jiang Xiyu glared at him and said, "Don't I have a name? Why do you have to call me that in such a high-pitched voice?"
"I didn't put anything on my plate..." Bai Chengci said calmly, her gaze lowered, "If you don't like it, I won't call you that anymore..."
Jiang Xiyu then gave a slightly satisfied "hmm".
The next second, however, Bai Chengci spoke up in a serious tone, "If 'husband' isn't okay, then... can you call me 'wife'?"
"..."
Bai Chengci suddenly raised her eyes, her expression blank, but her eyes held a faint smile. She murmured to herself, "Wife, it sounds like a very cute term of endearment."
"..."
Jiang Xiyu was so angry she almost punched him.
The bedroom was quiet for a while. After a long time, Jiang Xiyu finally loosened his fist, grabbed a pillow from the bedside, and threw it at Bai Chengci.
"roll."
The pillow landed squarely on Bai Chengci's nose.
Bai Chengci reached out and cupped it, but didn't take it off immediately. Instead, she buried her face in it and gently sniffed it.
After a long pause, he slowly moved the pillow down, revealing only a pair of calm eyes looking at Jiang Xiyu, but his tone softened: "Don't be angry..."
so cute.
Even when she's angry, she's still sexy.
