Chapter 681 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
The light show on the outer river gradually came to an end, but the river surface was still sparkling. The birthday yacht and drone that were supposed to appear were not used for a long time because the birthday person left.
As the luxury cars outside the Waijiang Building drove away one after another, the meticulously prepared birthday banquet was ultimately ruined by a farce.
A black BMW M4 was parked quietly by the roadside. As the luxury car drove by, the body of the car, swept by the headlights, reflected a dazzling array of diamond-like light and shadow.
Jiang Xiyu leaned back in the driver's seat, watching the group drive away, before finally closing her eyes and letting out a sigh of relief.
He was actually indifferent to the whole farce, but the person he felt most sorry for tonight was Lu Ziqi. After all, he had always treated Lu Ziqi like a younger brother and had genuinely gone to his birthday party, only to find that Zhou Xi had given up on everything.
If it were just their group of people present, it would be fine, but the key issue is that Lu Ziqi's mother is still there. Given how strict Lu's mother is, it's estimated that Lu Ziqi won't be showing up again for a long time.
As for Bai Chengci and Xu Yunzhi, there's a high chance this matter will reach the ears of their elders. Jiang Xiyu doesn't know how it will ultimately escalate.
Not long after, a figure appeared for the last time at the Waijiang Building.
When Jiang Xiyu looked up, he saw Bai Chengci looking around, searching for something. As if he couldn't find it, he lowered his head slightly.
Because of the fight, his expensive clothes were disheveled, and his face was bruised.
Jiang Xiyu sat in the car and stared at him quietly for a while before taking out her phone to send a message to Bai Chengci.
Come here, my car is up ahead.
Upon receiving the message, Bai Chengci stared at the words for a long time, then realized that Jiang Xiyu had not left. She immediately looked up and went to find him according to the instructions.
Jiang Xiyu's car wasn't parked in a very conspicuous spot, so after Bai Chengci found it, Jiang Xiyu unlocked the car door.
Bai Chengci slowly sat in the passenger seat, closed the car door, and then turned to look at Jiang Xiyu, asking softly, "Were you waiting for me?"
Jiang Xiyu didn't answer him, but simply started the car.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai Chengci moved her hand on her knee, but her gaze still didn't leave Jiang Xiyu's face.
As the streetlights cast their rays, Jiang Xiyu's profile appeared to shift between light and shadow.
Bai Chengci couldn't quite make out his expression. His eyelashes fluttered, and then he quietly leaned back in his car seat without saying a word.
The silence made the atmosphere increasingly tense along the way.
Jiang Xiyu only glanced at Bai Chengci when his phone rang.
Bai Chengci immediately muted the phone, and after seeing the caller ID, she turned to the side and answered it.
On the phone, Cen Yi asked him when he was coming home.
Bai Chengci raised her eyes and looked at her disheveled reflection in the rearview mirror through the car window, only saying, "I'm not sure."
He was indeed somewhat unclear about Jiang Xiyu's attitude.
Cen Yi assumed they would stay out very late, so she gave them a few instructions and then said nothing more.
Before hanging up, she asked again if she needed a driver to pick her up.
Bai Chengci thought for a moment and declined, saying, "No need."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Chengci put her hand down on her abdomen, as if she was feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Jiang Xiyu glanced at his sickly appearance and stepped on the gas.
About ten minutes later, the car arrived at the hospital.
Jiang Xiyu coldly said, "Get out of the car."
The car door unlocked, and Bai Chengci saw that Jiang Xiyu hadn't moved. She thought he was going to leave her at the hospital entrance. After thinking for a moment, she said to him in a weak voice, "I'm fine, I don't need to go to the hospital."
Jiang Xiyu said, "Then who are you trying to fool by putting on this death act?"
Bai Chengci was silent for a moment before whispering, "I want you to feel sorry for me a little..."
The unexpected directness left Jiang Xiyu silent for a moment after hearing it.
The car lights illuminated Bai Chengci's slightly pale face. Jiang Xiyu, recalling the fight earlier, pushed open the car door and got out.
He originally planned to go directly to the passenger seat and pull the person out, but after Bai Chengci saw him get out of the car, she immediately opened the door herself and followed him out.
Jiang Xiyu couldn't quite describe her feelings when she saw his disheveled appearance.
He knew that Bai Chengci was definitely not as harmless as he appeared on the surface. He thought he would fight back, but instead he was beaten like a fool.
To make him feel sorry for me?
"What's there to feel sorry for?" Jiang Xiyu thought coldly, then turned to go into the hospital.
Bai Chengci suddenly coughed a few times behind him.
Jiang Xiyu paused, closed her eyes briefly, then went back to help him, saying, "Bai Chengci, you're such a damn nuisance."
Bai Chengci lowered her eyes to look at Jiang Xiyu's hand that was gripping her arm. Her gaze flickered, and she moved slightly closer to him. She didn't say anything, but just smiled softly.
Jiang Xiyu didn't see his smile. After bringing the man into the hospital, she handed him over to the doctor.
After the doctor examined him carefully and found nothing seriously wrong, he had the nurse treat his wound.
Jiang Xiyu sat to the side watching, glancing over the bruises on Bai Chengci's hands before finally fixing his gaze on Bai Chengci's face.
They take good care of their faces, but they don't care about their bodies at all.
The nurse applied medicine to his arms and then to his legs. When the nurse tried to apply medicine to Bai Chengci's body, Bai Chengci hesitated to take off his clothes.
The nurse had no choice but to patiently repeat herself, "Please take your clothes off."
Bai Chengci shook her head and refused, glancing silently at Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu sat on the sofa, completely ignoring the meaning in his eyes.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Bai Chengci told the nurse that she could apply it herself.
Seeing his insistence, the nurse had no choice but to put the medicine aside.
Only after the ward door closed did Bai Chengci take off her shirt in front of Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu glanced at him, noticing that his upper body had taken quite a few blows.
His thin muscles made him look lean, but Jiang Xiyu knew that he was as strong as an ox.
Bai Chengci applied the ointment to the wounds on the front, but couldn't quite reach the wounds on the back.
Jiang Xiyu sat on the sofa opposite him, and only got up to apply the ointment when she couldn't bear to watch any longer.
When applying the medicine, Jiang Xiyu was not as gentle as a nurse.
Bai Chengci shuddered and said, "It hurts..."
Jiang Xiyu deliberately pressed the bruise on his back with a cotton swab and scolded, "Don't you know how to fight back when it hurts?" Then, Jiang Xiyu paused, "You think I'll feel sorry for you if you act pitiful like this?"
Bai Chengci turned to look at him and suddenly asked, "Will you feel sorry for me?"
Jiang Xiyu raised an eyebrow, then tossed aside the cotton swab in her hand and said, "No."
A glint flashed in Bai Chengci's eyes, and after a long pause, she replied softly, "But it will hurt you."
Jiang Xiyu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning of those words.
Bai Chengci silently raised her hand, slowly hooking Jiang Xiyu's hand with her fingertips, and after grasping it tightly, she looked up at him and asked, "Were you in a lot of pain just now?"
With their relationship now out in the open, will the way others perceive it make him uncomfortable?
