Chapter 705 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
After driving away from the township government, Bai Chengci made a special trip to buy some gifts on her way home.
Although Jiang Xiyu and his second uncle and aunt did not know that the person who came to inspect the place today was his father, it was his father's first time visiting, and even if neither side knew, Bai Chengci felt that the proper manners should still be observed.
So he bought a trunk full of gifts.
After driving home, his second uncle and aunt were speechless as they watched him carry bag after bag and box after box into the house.
Bai Chengci didn't say it explicitly, but casually made up an excuse, only saying that he was about to go home and that the gifts were to thank them for their hospitality.
My second uncle and aunt felt the gifts were too many and too expensive, so they refused to accept them.
Bai Chengci insisted on giving it to him.
It wasn't until Jiang Xiyu came out after her lunch break, hearing the commotion, that she discovered what Bai Chengci had done.
Unable to dissuade him, the second uncle and aunt saw Jiang Xiyu coming over and hurriedly sought his help to stop him.
Auntie said awkwardly, "Xi Yu, look at Cheng Ci, she's really too kind of her, she bought so many things."
My second uncle also said, "Yes, these things are too valuable. Let's return them and not waste our money."
My second uncle knows his stuff; those cigarettes and alcohol weren't cheap.
The key point is that Bai Chengci bought several boxes of porcelain as if they were free.
And those health supplements, displayed on the shelves, are so expensive that even a glance at them makes people marvel at their cost.
My second uncle declined, saying, "It's only right that we take care of your friends; we don't need these things."
Second Aunt: "Yes, yes, no matter what we say, Xiao Bai won't listen. He just has to be so polite."
After listening, Jiang Xiyu looked at Bai Chengci, wondering what had gotten into him this time.
Bai Chengci had finished moving the last box and looked up after sensing Jiang Xiyu's gaze.
The moment their eyes met, the glint in Bai Chengci's eyes flickered.
Jiang Xiyu carefully observed Bai Chengci's expression and felt that he seemed somewhat happy. Although it was not obvious on his face, Jiang Xiyu could still tell from his eyes.
What's there to be happy about?
Jiang Xiyu was somewhat confused.
However, he had never understood Bai Chengci's thought process, so he went over and asked him what was going on this time.
Bai Chengci didn't hide anything, only saying, "My family asked me to prepare it."
Jiang Xiyu was taken aback. "Family?"
"Yes." Bai Chengci explained without changing her expression, "These are to thank my uncle and aunt for taking care of me."
He paused, his gaze fixed on Jiang Xiyu, and took a small step closer, lowering his voice to a level only audible between the two of them, drawing out, "Thank you for taking care of me too..."
The sunlight felt so hot on my skin that even the words I spoke sounded burning.
Bai Chengci had moved some things, and her body temperature was a little high.
As they got closer, Jiang Xiyu could almost feel the heat surging towards her.
So his tone turned cold, and he feigned disdain: "Thank you if you want, but why are you standing so close to me?"
Bai Chengci smiled slightly.
Jiang Xiyu glanced at the gifts in the main room, weighed the value of Lu Ziqi's gifts, and planned to transfer the money later himself, so he didn't refuse Bai Chengci, which was considered tacit approval.
When my second uncle and aunt saw the two of them come over after they finished talking, they asked, "Those things?"
Jiang Xiyu stepped forward and said, "It's alright, Second Uncle, you can take it."
Bai Chengci stood beside him and politely echoed, "Please accept this, Uncle and Aunt. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
The couple eventually gave in and accepted it.
Jiang Xiyu took Bai Chengci back to the house next door.
As I opened the door, the coolness of the air conditioner still lingered in the air.
After Bai Chengci sat down, Jiang Xiyu leaned against the door and asked him, "When are you going back?"
Bai Chengci tilted her head back and asked, "When are you going back to Haicheng?"
Jiang Xiyu thought about it. It was almost the end of the month, and school would start in early September, so he was pretty much planning to go back.
"In a few days."
Bai Chengci said, "I'll go back with you."
If you're going back with him, then why make such a fuss today?
Jiang Xiyu sneered and said, "I fucking thought you were going to get out of here tomorrow."
"No." Bai Chengci shook her head, then stared into Jiang Xiyu's eyes and said, "I can't bear to."
Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then clicked her tongue in disbelief.
Bai Chengci silently got up and reached out her hand, wanting to hug him.
Jiang Xiyu did not refuse.
Or rather, during this period, he never rejected Bai Chengci.
While enjoying her freedom in the countryside, Jiang Xiyu discovered that having someone by her side was quite nice.
It wasn't that boring, nor that annoying.
Therefore, he always tacitly allowed Bai Chengci to get closer and more intimate, and Bai Chengci would tirelessly ask him if he wanted to talk about it.
Jiang Xiyu didn't budge, but little did she know that in the eyes of those in the know, it was no different from them having already talked.
The person in the know is Jiang Jinya.
Jiang Jinya thought the two of them were dating all summer.
It wasn't until they were relaxing in the courtyard that evening that Jiang Xiyu mentioned returning to Haicheng. Seeing that there wasn't much time left, Jiang Jinya became curious and asked Bai Chengci for confirmation.
While Jiang Xiyu went to her second uncle's house to get something, Jiang Jingya went up to Bai Chengci and asked him, "Brother Bai, how are things between you and my brother? Have you officially started dating?"
She thought to herself, if they're together every day, then it must be a done deal.
Bai Chengci remained silent for a while, then shook her head as if sighing: "Your brother hasn't agreed yet."
"You haven't agreed yet?" Jiang Jingya exclaimed in surprise, even finding it hard to believe.
They're not even officially dating yet, so what about the hugs and sweet moments she accidentally witnessed between her brothers?!
Jiang Jingya looked at Bai Chengci, hesitated for a moment, and finally managed to utter a sigh: "Is my brother that hard to pursue?"
Bai Chengci paused, and seeing her concern, she suddenly smiled faintly and whispered, "Yes, your brother is super hard to win over..."
As he spoke, he sighed again, as if he were somewhat saddened: "Little sister, do you think your brother doesn't want to take responsibility for me? What should I do if he doesn't take responsibility for me?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinya immediately stood up and retorted, "Impossible, my brother isn't that kind of person!"
Bai Chengci looked at him and slowly blinked.
Jiang Jinya was silent for a few seconds, then sat back down in her chair and whispered to Bai Chengci, "Brother Bai, have you done this yet?"
She held up two fingers and touched it.
Bai Chengci glanced at it but didn't say anything.
Jiang Jinya took it as his tacit agreement, and inwardly let out a scream like a groundhog.
When Jiang Xiyu returned with two bags of local specialties, he saw Jiang Jingya covering her face, seemingly excited about something.
He looked at Bai Chengci with a puzzled expression.
Bai Chengci stood up naturally, looking as if she didn't know anything.
Jiang Xiyu walked over helplessly, wanting to ask her what was wrong, but before he could even speak, Jiang Jingya, who had noticed his return first, excitedly stood up and said to him with a flushed face, "Brother, I really, really like Brother Bai!"
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Bai Chengci: "..."
"With Brother Bai tutoring me in the future, I'm sure I'll be able to get into the best university. So I want Brother Bai to be my sister-in-law, is that okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xiyu and Bai Chengci were both stunned, then looked down at her.
Jiang Jinya's eyes sparkled, and she seemed to be trembling with excitement as she spoke.
Jiang Xiyu had known for some time that she might have noticed something, but she hadn't said anything explicitly.
Jiang Xiyu was shocked when Jiang Jinya said such things to him. His heart skipped a beat, and then his face turned dark. The two bags of local specialties he was carrying fell to the ground with a "thud".
"you……"
Jiang Jingya's face flushed red after she finished speaking, then she covered her lips shyly, her voice muffled and trembling with nervousness: "Brother, please, please let Brother Bai be my sister-in-law..."
After listening, Jiang Xiyu took a deep breath, then turned her head and glared at Bai Chengci next to her, asking, "What did you say to her?"
Bai Chengci met Jiang Xiyu's gaze, her eyes flickered almost imperceptibly, and then she denied it: "I did not say that to my sister."
“Yes, Brother Bai didn’t tell me. I figured it out myself.” Jiang Jinya raised her chin, a hint of pride in her voice, and a resolute determination to secure a legitimate status for Bai Chengci.
Jiang Xiyu tightened his grip on her side, unable to resist giving her a soft scolding: "What do you know?"
Jiang Jinya insisted, "I understand, brother, I really understand."
I read gay movies every day, who knows more about them than me?
However, Jiang Jinya didn't dare say those words out loud. She could only continue, puzzled, "Brother, don't you like Brother Bai too? Why don't you agree? Besides, Brother Bai likes you so much. If you don't believe me, ask him if he'd like to be my sister-in-law. He'll definitely agree!"
Jiang Xiyu frowned and glanced at Bai Chengci again.
Bai Chengci gave a blank "Mmm" and then said indifferently, "I'm willing."
