Chapter 659 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
On Monday, Jiang Xiyu and Zhou Xi flew to Shenzhen.
Shenzhen is not too far from Haicheng; it only takes two hours by plane. When the plane landed, it was already 2 p.m. As soon as we got out of the airport, the hotel driver was already waiting outside.
After getting into the car, Jiang Xiyu leaned back against the car headboard, feeling a little sleepy.
Zhou Xi didn't look tired at all, but she turned her head to examine Jiang Xiyu and asked, "Are you very tired?"
Jiang Xiyu closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again and said, "It's alright."
Zhou Xi slowly shifted her gaze and said, "You can get some rest when we get to the hotel."
After listening, Jiang Xiyu politely replied, "Thank you, Brother Zhou."
Zhou Xi didn't speak again in response to Jiang Xiyu's aloofness. Instead, she looked up at the scenery rushing past the window, a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the hotel where we were staying.
Jiang Xiyu followed Zhou Xi to the top-floor suite. After putting down her luggage, Jiang Xiyu planned to go back to her sleeping place.
Since he was away on business and was Zhou Xi's bodyguard, he had to stay with those people.
However, when Zhou Xi turned around and saw him about to leave, she said, "You'll be staying in the second bedroom of the suite."
The tone of his voice suggested that he didn't allow anyone to refuse.
Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then replied expressionlessly, "Okay."
Since they weren't in the same room, Jiang Xiyu didn't think it was a big deal.
Seeing that he agreed, Zhou Xi finally smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Go and rest. You don't need to attend any social events tonight."
"Okay." Jiang Xiyu said, "Just call me if you need anything, Brother Zhou."
Zhou Xi nodded.
Jiang Xiyu didn't linger and carried her luggage toward the second bedroom.
The suite is very large, with a living room and dining room, and the second bedroom and master bedroom are in opposite directions.
So, Zhou Xi watched Jiang Xiyu walk towards the second bedroom until his figure disappeared from sight, then turned around and walked to the French windows, looking at the tall buildings outside with a sinister gaze.
After that night at K-club, he had someone investigate Jiang Xiyu's whereabouts for the past month.
All the locations where he appeared, and all the surveillance footage showing him, were collected by Zhou Xi's subordinates.
In the surveillance footage, in a corner where no one paid attention, the intersection between Jiang Xiyu and Bai Chengci could no longer be described as a coincidence.
The key point is that one of the surveillance videos actually came from his territory.
In his underground boxing gym, Bai Chengci and Jiang Xiyu stayed in the locker room for nearly an hour.
After they came out, the two of them changed their clothes.
What happened inside is self-evident.
As Zhou Xi thought of this, his chest sank uncontrollably.
The fact that Bai Chengci had feelings for Jiang Xiyu, a small matter he had noticed at the racing club but hadn't paid much attention to, has somehow developed into what it is now.
Jiang Xiyu.
Zhou Xi pondered these three words for a long while before smiling, her tone almost a sigh, and said, word by word, "Jiang Xiyu..."
"She really can get along with anyone."
If I had known, I shouldn't have continued to put up with it.
……
The view from the second bedroom window is also filled with towering buildings, the sunlight shining on them, dazzling and glaring.
Jiang Xiyu sat on the sofa and dozed off for a while until the feeling of fatigue subsided slightly before taking out her phone to check her messages.
Bai Chengci has sent him a lot of messages.
Jiang Xiyu scrolled up to the "Good morning" message from Bai Chengci before starting to read further down.
Basically, it starts with a good morning greeting. Bai Chengci asks him everything, from what he eats to what he does when he goes out. The last message is always to ask if he has arrived yet.
Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment before typing a reply: 【Arrived.】
He was about to put down his phone and rest after sending that message, but the other end unexpectedly replied quickly, as if they had been waiting for his message.
[Bai Chengci: Have you eaten yet?]
Jiang Xiyu: [Hmm.]
[Bai Chengci: Can we video call?]
Jiang Xiyu: [Why are you making videos in broad daylight?]
[Bai Chengci: I've never been to Shenzhen, so I'm very curious and want to see it.]
Jiang Xiyu didn't even bother to call out this excuse, simply scoffing and replying: "I'm at the hotel."
[Bai Chengci: Can you take a picture and show it to me?]
Jiang Xiyu did not reply.
After typing for a few seconds, they got greedy and pushed their luck.
[Bai Chengci: Can we video chat?]
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Jiang Xiyu, considering she was currently sharing a suite with Zhou Xi, decided it was best to be cautious and declined: "It's inconvenient."
[Bai Chengci: Okay. (loopy crying jpg)]
Jiang Xiyu glanced at the emoji and then stopped looking at the messages.
He tossed his phone onto the table, loosened his collar slightly, and then got up and went to the bathroom.
Bai Chengci, who continued to send him messages, waited for a long time without receiving a response. Her fingertips, gripping the phone, turned slightly white, and her eyes became very calm.
He received the information from Uncle Chen late last night, so he didn't have time to go with Jiang Xiyu today. Perhaps it was because he spent those few days with Jiang Xiyu that Bai Chengci had no time to think about other things.
Looking back now, he should have had someone investigate when he first learned that Jiang Xiyu was going on a business trip with Zhou Xi, instead of being so passive and knowing nothing.
Bai Chengci put away her phone and prepared to get up and go back upstairs.
Cen Yi then looked away from the TV and said gently to Bai Chengci, "Didn't you want to learn how to date? Why can't you sit still after only sitting for a short while?"
It's one thing to be restless, but to keep staring at that phone like that means you're waiting for a message, right?
Cen Yi carefully examined him for a moment, and just by looking at the indifferent expression on his face, she knew whether the person on the other end of the phone had answered or not.
I didn't reply, so I couldn't sit still.
Bai Chengci paused after hearing her words.
Cen Yi said, "This dating reality show is quite interesting. You can watch it with your mom for a while; you might even learn some good tips."
Bai Chengci glanced at the television, then lowered her gaze again, seemingly uninterested.
Just then, a guest on TV said, "It's obvious that after these two went out for one night, their relationship became a bit complicated when they came back. You can clearly see that his attitude towards XX has changed."
After listening to what the guest said, Cen Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Wasn't he getting along quite ambiguously with that second female lead just a moment ago? How come he changed his crush after only one night away?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chengci's eyelashes fluttered slightly before she raised her eyes and focused her gaze on the television.
Cen Yi sighed, "Young people these days, their feelings are so fickle. I was so optimistic about him and that second female lead before."
Bai Chengci pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly asked, "Will things change overnight?"
Cen Yi thought he was referring to a dating reality show, so she just hummed in agreement.
Bai Chengci: "..."
Cen Yi instructed, "Son, you must never learn these things. You can't be so fickle in a relationship."
Bai Chengci only cared about the comment, "You changed your crush overnight."
His fingertips clenched slightly, and then he suddenly stood up.
Cen Yi was taken aback when she saw him suddenly stand up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Chengci didn't say anything, but silently went upstairs.
Back in his bedroom, he immediately called Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu had only been lying in bed for a few minutes when his phone rang, and a look of displeasure at being disturbed immediately appeared on his face.
After fumbling for the phone to connect and holding it to his ear, Jiang Xiyu managed to utter only one word: "Hello?"
“It’s me,” Bai Chengci said.
Jiang Xiyu gave a soft "hmm".
Bai Chengci noticed his voice sounded somewhat muffled. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Are you sleeping?"
Jiang Xiyu rolled over. "Otherwise?"
Bai Chengci asked again, "Do you sleep alone?"
Jiang Xiyu didn't react for a moment, so she remained silent.
Bai Chengci asked, "Do you sleep with him?"
Without thinking, Jiang Xiyu asked a single question: "Who?"
"Zhou Xi," Bai Chengci paused for a moment, "would you spend the night with him?"
Jiang Xiyu opened her eyes impatiently and muttered to Bai Chengci on the phone, "Are you sick in the head?"
Bai Chengci: "Will you still play with me when you come back?"
Jiang Xiyu cursed again: "Fuck your ass!"
Bai Chengci replied, "Okay."
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
After listening for a while and receiving a few scoldings, Bai Chengci's expression gradually relaxed. She then explained in a low voice, "Sorry, I just watched a dating reality show and it made me feel a little insecure."
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
