Chapter 607 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
Jiang Xiyu suppressed the urge to complain and took the things from Bai Chengci's hands, then asked expressionlessly, "How much is this shampoo?"
Damn, it's so heavy.
Bai Chengci lowered her eyebrows and said softly, "I don't want money."
"Fine, don't give it to me then." Jiang Xiyu didn't intend to give it to him anyway; she just tossed the things behind her to him.
Bai Chengci subconsciously reached out and took it, then glanced down at the pink bag and was somewhat stunned: "What's this?"
Jiang Xiyu was too lazy to explain and casually said, "Consider it a return gift for your shampoo."
He noticed this thing when he passed by the 'ZANMANG LOOPY' pop-up store in the mall, mainly because Bai Chengci would send him this little thing's emoji every time they texted.
Jiang Xiyu glanced at it briefly when he passed by and thought it was quite cute, so after dropping Jiang Jinya off at home, he went back to the mall and bought the little doll.
He thought that Little Green Tea had been quite obedient last week, so he decided to reward him.
As a result, Jiang Xiyu, holding the heavy bag in his hand, thought that it was not as practical as the old platinum.
Bai Chengci tightened her grip on the bag, stared at the gift for a while, and then smiled faintly as she replied to Jiang Xiyu, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Jiang Xiyu rarely saw Bai Chengci smile.
The streetlights were dim, and he was backlit, with most of his face hidden in shadow, so his smile didn't seem very genuine.
Jiang Xiyu hummed in agreement, but couldn't help taking a second look.
Bai Chengci held the gift in his arms, looked up into Jiang Xiyu's eyes, and seemed genuinely happy. He said, "This is the first time I've received a doll."
Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment and then said, "Then you're really miserable."
But seeing how happy he was, Jiang Xiyu only said, "Well, let's keep it."
Bai Chengci smiled at him and said gently, "Okay."
After agreeing, he held the gift and stared intently at Jiang Xiyu.
The gaze was quite intense; when Jiang Xiyu met it, she was momentarily speechless, holding the shampoo in her hand.
The atmosphere was inexplicably quiet for about ten seconds.
Until Bai Chengci suddenly spoke up and asked, "So...where are we going now?"
It felt like a young couple sneaking out to meet late at night.
Jiang Xiyu was the first to look away, turning around to look at the traffic, and said jokingly, "Didn't you all get your things? Everyone go home now."
Anyway, he doesn't want to settle accounts right now.
Bai Chengci paused for a moment, realizing that she might have been overthinking things.
He watched Jiang Xiyu's retreating figure in silence for a long while before walking up to her and slowly asking, "Aren't you going to settle the score?"
Jiang Xiyu glanced at him and replied perfunctorily, "It would be easy to attract a crowd if I beat you up here."
Bai Chengci thought for a moment and gently suggested, "Then let's go to a quiet place, that should be fine, right?"
"?"
Because there were people waiting at the traffic light not far away, Jiang Xiyu lowered his voice and cursed, "Are you sick in the head? You're just asking to be beaten up by me."
Bai Chengci tilted her head at him and asked casually, "Didn't you say that hitting someone is a sign of affection, and scolding someone is a sign of love?"
His tone conveyed a strong sense of curiosity.
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Before he could cover Bai Chengci's mouth, he heard him say lightly, "Just like that day at school, you hit me..."
Some passersby who were nearby couldn't help but turn their gaze over.
Jiang Xiyu quickly covered his mouth, wishing she could suffocate him, and said, "I won't hit you because you brought shampoo to my sister."
Bai Chengci blinked at Jiang Xiyu, her eyelashes fluttering. After several seconds, her gaze suddenly lowered, and she looked at Jiang Xiyu's hand covering his face.
He breathed very softly.
But the heat in her aura was still undeniable.
The moment Jiang Xiyu sensed it, she immediately withdrew her hand.
The summer night breeze is warm and pleasant.
Jiang Xiyu rubbed his palms together, unable to tell for a moment which was hotter.
He simply glared back at the curious glances of passersby.
Bai Chengci took a deep breath, then leaned slightly closer to Jiang Xiyu, tilted her head and whispered in his ear, "Then... if you don't hit me... I want to go back to your house."
The breath, carried by the wind, felt as if it were brushing against my ear.
Jiang Xiyu suddenly felt a tickle in her heart and reflexively wanted to distance herself from Bai Chengci.
He turned his head away, his eyes unfriendly: "Why are you coming back to my house? Don't you have a home?"
Bai Chengci said, "My home is quite far from here, so I told my family that I won't be going back to stay today."
"..."
"Then you can sleep on the street."
"I'm a little scared to sleep here alone at night."
Jiang Xiyu laughed angrily and said, "I'm scared too, even if I take you home."
Out of fear, I couldn't resist and brought the person home, then committed domestic violence against them.
Bai Chengci, however, did not quite understand the meaning of Jiang Xiyu's 'fear'.
He thought about it quietly for a moment, then said to Jiang Xiyu, "Don't be afraid."
Jiang Xiyu: "?"
Bai Chengci lowered her head, and her ears visibly flushed red.
Jiang Xiyu looked on with some confusion.
Bai Chengci glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, then looked away and said seriously, "I'm ready..."
His tone of voice became even softer, almost gentle.
"..."
Ready?
What are you ready for?
Jiang Xiyu was completely confused by what she heard.
The next second, the headlights of a passing car shone on Bai Chengci's profile. His skin was pale, but his ears and neck were bright red, as if he had run three thousand meters.
Once Jiang Xiyu saw it clearly, she immediately understood.
He cursed under his breath.
Fortunately, the light was green at that time, otherwise Jiang Xiyu was not sure if she could have resisted throwing the shampoo in her hand at him and telling him to take his things and get out of there.
Jiang Xiyu, with a stern face, simply crossed the road with the things in her hands.
Bai Chengci's eyes flickered slightly, and she silently followed behind him, holding the gift.
After crossing the street to the other side and entering a deserted alley, Jiang Xiyu stopped, turned to Bai Chengci, and said, "Don't follow me."
Bai Chengci glanced at the alleyway, slumped her shoulders, and said, "I'm afraid of the dark."
Damn it.
Jiang Xiyu was speechless for a moment, then said rudely, "Voice-activated light, if it goes dark, just cry. Cry loudly, and it won't go dark again."
Bai Chengci said, "I won't cry."
Jiang Xiyu turned around, sneering as she walked away, "Then go ahead and call your mother for help."
Bai Chengci took a couple of steps after him and asked casually, "May I call you?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyu did not hesitate, raised one hand, gritted her teeth, and said, "I admit defeat."
He realized that Bai Chengci wouldn't give up until he went home with her tonight.
Jiang Xiyu didn't want the elderly folks to wake up the next morning and say that someone had called his name the night before, disturbing the peace.
So he said to Bai Chengci, "Hurry up and die here."
Bai Chengci seemed to cough softly, then gave a slightly amused "hmm".
Jiang Xiyu took Bai Chengci to his apartment, but at the door he still didn't let Bai Chengci in, only saying, "My sister is home, you wait outside for a while."
Bai Chengci knew he didn't want her to go in, so she obediently nodded and asked, "Will you come out again?"
Jiang Xiyu gritted her teeth: "Yes, you better be quiet."
Bai Chengci obediently replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Only after Jiang Xiyu closed the door did Bai Chengci move. He turned around and carefully examined his surroundings.
When he came here by car with Jiang Xiyu last time, he only knew that he lived in this area.
This time, he already knew the exact location of his home.
In fact, Bai Chengci knew that Jiang Xiyu would not let him stay here overnight, but she would be happy to spend a little more time with him.
The key point is that Jiang Xiyu doesn't seem to intend to leave him alone in the stairwell.
Bai Chengci lowered her eyes, hugged the gift in her arms slightly tighter, and looked down at it.
This was an unexpected surprise.
