Chapter 689 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
After the birthday party, Jiang Xiyu's phone became unusually quiet.
There was little conversation in the WeChat group, and Lu Ziqi's last message was on his birthday.
Jiang Xiyu knew that Lu Ziqi was probably being controlled by his family because of this farce that happened on his birthday. As for Zhou Xi, Jiang Xiyu had heard about what happened downstairs at the apartment building from Bai Chengci. Besides feeling helpless, she was also somewhat annoyed by this kind of entanglement.
So he voluntarily left the group that included Zhou Xi, which was tantamount to leaving the circle led by Zhou Xi.
After eliminating all possible connections, Jiang Xiyu began preparing to return to her hometown.
The original plan was to take his sister back in early August, but due to the incidents that occurred during this period, the trip back was repeatedly postponed. Now that what needed to be exposed has been exposed and what needed to be cut off has been cut off, Jiang Xiyu began to make preparations.
Actually, there wasn't much to prepare. She bought some food for the journey and a few clothes to wear back home. However, when she went to get clothes from the closet, Jiang Xiyu discovered that several pieces of clothing were missing, and Bai Chengci had worn most of them.
Damn it, I'm sleeping at his house more and more often, but I haven't changed my bad habit of taking other people's clothes even once.
Jiang Xiyu casually grabbed two items and threw them on the bed, then went to the bathroom to get something else.
The toothbrushes and towels in the bathroom were deliberately placed in pairs, and there were traces of another person everywhere.
Jiang Xiyu stood in front of the sink for a while, and finally couldn't help but curse under her breath as she separated the toothbrushes that were stuck together.
"Brother, I've packed everything up." When Jiang Jinya came in, Jiang Xiyu had just put Bai Chengci's things in the corner and was still holding Bai Chengci's clothes.
Jiang Jinya leaned against the doorway, looking at the clothes, and quickly recognized them.
She then covered her mouth and laughed, exclaiming in an exaggerated tone, "Hey~ these are Brother Bai's clothes, how come they're still with him?"
Jiang Xiyu looked up, and after seeing the cunning in Jiang Jinya's eyes, she didn't answer her question. Instead, she changed the subject expressionlessly and asked, "Have you packed everything?"
Jiang Jingya replied, "I'm all packed. But brother, have you told Brother Bai about our trip back to our hometown?"
Jiang Xiyu frowned, somewhat puzzled: "Why talk to him?"
Jiang Jingya was silent for a moment before twisting her fingers in front of her chest and saying in a vague tone, "Oh, I thought you would tell him, brother."
Jiang Xiyu knew something was wrong as soon as she saw her.
"You told him?"
Jiang Jinya's eyes darted around, and she quickly shook her head, "No...no."
She chuckled, taking a step back as she said guiltily, "Well, I just remembered I still have something to buy, so I'll head out now, brother."
Before Jiang Xiyu could say anything, the man took off running.
Jiang Xiyu was stunned for a moment, and when she realized what was happening, she sighed as if she couldn't do anything about it.

Jiang Xiyu threw the clothes Bai Chengci had left behind into the washing machine and stood on the balcony smoking a cigarette.
Halfway through his cigarette, Bai Chengci made a video call.
After a few days of rest, Bai Chengci's face in the video has recovered considerably, and the bruise on her lips has almost disappeared.
Jiang Xiyu stared at him for a couple of seconds, then said irritably, "What?"
He calls several times a day; I really don't know where he gets so much to say.
Bai Chengci smiled gently at him and asked considerately, "Have you had lunch?"
Jiang Xiyu didn't want to waste time with his sweet talk, so she said directly, "Can you please stop asking such stupid questions?"
"..." Bai Chengci pursed her lips and blinked at Jiang Xiyu with a rather innocent look.
Jiang Xiyu couldn't stand his attitude, so she looked away and took a drag of her cigarette.
When he exhaled the smoke, his face was momentarily blurred in the video.
Bai Chengci watched silently, her Adam's apple bobbing, but she didn't say anything.
Jiang Xiyu was waiting for him to speak, but when he didn't, she casually said, "Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."
Bai Chengci immediately said, "Don't hang it!"
Jiang Xiyu held her phone low and looked down at him for a while.
Bai Chengci stood up, and the background of the bedroom flashed by in Jiang Xiyu's phone video.
He only spoke calmly when he pointed the camera at the neatly folded clothes: "I've washed your clothes, can I bring them to you?"
The camera shifted slightly, focusing on the side where the price tags were still on.
Bai Chengci continued, "I also bought you some new clothes, I don't know if you'll like them..."
Jiang Xiyu glanced at it, walked back to the living room, put out the cigarette, and then leaned back on the sofa and said, "No need, you can wear it yourself."
Bai Chengci paused for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "They're a bit too big for me. They'll look better on you."
Jiang Xiyu is tall and strong, but has a narrow waist and long, straight legs, so any clothes he wears will look particularly stylish and sexy.
Bai Chengci spent most of the day carefully selecting a gift for him, intending to use it as an excuse to see him.
Seeing that Jiang Xiyu remained silent, Bai Chengci continued, "If you don't like it, I'll go buy another one. It's not far, and I can deliver it to you tonight."
"..."
How could Jiang Xiyu not see through his thoughts? After a long while, she frowned and asked, "Do you really have to deliver it now?"
Bai Chengci responded in a low voice, "Mm."
Jiang Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief and finally agreed, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiyu nestled on the sofa, playing a couple of games while waiting for the laundry to finish.
Nearly an hour later, just as the clothes in the washing machine finished washing, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Xiyu went to open the door while playing a game.
When the door opened, Bai Chengci was standing at the door with her suitcase.
Jiang Xiyu was focused on the game and only glanced at him casually. Just as he was about to step aside to let Bai Chengci in, he realized something and suddenly looked up at him again.
Bai Chengci gave a slight, polite smile.
Jiang Xiyu looked down at the suitcase he was carrying, and her eyes twitched.
"you……"
Bai Chengci remained expressionless, and simply explained softly, "These are clothes for you."
Jiang Xiyu almost thought that he knew he was going back to his hometown, so he was haunting him and even packed his luggage.
Seeing that he was only bringing her clothes, Jiang Xiyu's expression softened a bit. As she turned off her phone and walked inside, she said with disdain, "Why are you taking so much?"
Bai Chengci came in carrying a suitcase, skillfully changed her shoes and closed the door, before answering Jiang Xiyu's question slowly and without blushing or skipping a beat: "There are still some clothes that are mine."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then turned around and gritted her teeth, saying, "Why did you bring these clothes over?"
Bai Chengci did not answer immediately, but her lips moved slightly.
Under Jiang Xiyu's murderous gaze, he remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "I want to live with you."
"..." Jiang Xiyu's face instantly darkened. "Don't you have a home?"
Bai Chengci lowered her eyelids slightly, got straight to the point, and said calmly, "I want to go back to my hometown with you."
"..."
Bai Chengci suppressed a smile. "Didn't you say you'd consider me? I'll do my best."
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
