Chapter 671 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
Even after Jiang Xiyu returned from seeing Lu Ziqi off, Zhou Xi was still waiting in the same spot.
When Jiang Xiyu saw him, she was a little surprised that he was still waiting, but her expression did not change much, and she did not stop walking.
Although Zhou Xi had been kind to him, that kindness had long since been worn away by his despicable methods.
Jiang Xiyu didn't want to say anything to him and originally wanted to pretend he didn't see him and go home directly, but Zhou Xi stepped forward and blocked his way.
Having waited for too long, Zhou Xi was feeling unwell. He had to take a deep breath before saying to Jiang Xiyu, "Jiang Xiyu, let's talk."
Jiang Xiyu glanced at him expressionlessly, her tone unchanged: "It seems there's nothing left for us to talk about."
Zhou Xi saw the mockery in his eyes and knew that what he had done that night with the drug was indeed dishonorable.
Therefore, during the long standoff, he took the initiative to lower his head for the first time: "It was wrong of me to drug you, I apologize to you. If you feel uncomfortable because of that, you can hit me right now, or if you want any other compensation, I can give it to you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyu's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
The person in front of me was used to being superior, so his apology sounded like a handout. It was as if what he did wasn't wrong, but that failing was the only real mistake.
Jiang Xiyu sneered, not wanting to say anything more, or even to see him.
Zhou Xi sensed his impatience and stepped forward to grab him, but he dodged. Zhou Xi's hand froze in mid-air for a long while before she managed a pale smile: "Jiang Xiyu, I've endured this for too long, I don't want to endure it anymore..."
"You've always known what I'm thinking, haven't you? Since you can play with them, why can't you try with me? Am I any worse than them?"
"I was the one who met you first, so why do they have you before me?"
"Xu Yunzhi is like that, and so is Bai Chengci..."
Recalling the scene on the balcony, Zhou Xi felt an uncontrollable surge of anger.
Perhaps he realized that Jiang Xiyu treated Bai Chengci differently, or perhaps he felt that the person he was so confident in controlling had slipped out of his control time and time again right under Jiang Xiyu's nose.
But he was completely unaware.
Zhou Xi's temple twitched, and the aggravated wound seemed about to bleed.
He looked at Jiang Xiyu and gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't tell me you and Bai Chengci are just playing around. If it were just playing around, would you be so close as to let him stay at your house?"
Jiang Xiyu found it increasingly amusing as she listened, but her expression remained completely unchanged.
Looking at Jiang Xiyu's seemingly expressionless face, Zhou Xi felt as if he had punched cotton, utterly powerless. "That night, he attacked me with deadly force, and all these wounds are thanks to him..."
He paused for a moment, then said in a show of retreat, "If you're still not satisfied, you can attack me now. I have no chance to fight back..."
Jiang Xiyu looked at Zhou Xi, but the large shadows obscured the true emotions in Zhou Xi's eyes, and his pale face made the sinister feeling even more intense.
He couldn't hide the fierceness in his eyes, yet he deliberately acted humble and subservient.
Jiang Xiyu looked away, not wanting to continue entangled with him, and said coldly, "Let it go, Zhou Xi, let's leave each other with a little dignity."
Zhou Xi clenched his teeth, but he didn't want to unleash his anger on Jiang Xiyu, so he forced himself to hold back and asked, word by word, "What do you mean?"
"I am very grateful to you all these years..." Jiang Xiyu said this sincerely.
Because of Zhou Xi's protection, Jiang Xiyu was able to gain a foothold in Haicheng. It can be said that Zhou Xi was a rare benefactor in his life. As for Zhou Xi, whether Jiang Xiyu was a follower or a plaything, he didn't care.
However, the repeated use of drugs had crossed his bottom line.
"Don't waste your time on me, Brother Zhou."
After Jiang Xiyu finished speaking, she tried to walk around him.
Zhou Xi hurriedly tried to grab his hand, determined to ask clearly, "Jiang Xiyu, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean I shouldn't waste my time on you? I've already apologized, haven't I?"
The image of Bai Chengci's provocation seemed vivid in his mind, and suppressed jealousy surged wildly in his heart at this moment. Zhou Xi laughed instead: "Or is it because you got involved with Bai Chengci that you can't wait to get rid of me now!"
Jiang Xiyu dodged his grabbing hand in time, and her expression turned cold upon hearing this.
"whatever you think."
"Am I right?" Zhou Xi looked at his hand that had been avoided, rubbed his forehead and laughed coldly, "I didn't want to force you like this either, but Jiang Xiyu, it's you who's been forcing me..."
He just couldn't wait any longer.
He didn't know when it started, but he became increasingly intolerant, unable to tolerate anyone else appearing around Jiang Xiyu. This thought was laughable to anyone who said it.
Zhou Xi didn't think he was wrong. He had never failed to get what he wanted. That night, he just lost patience.
Having witnessed the interactions between Jiang Xiyu and Bai Chengci, Zhou Xi became increasingly eager to capture this person. After all, how could he let someone else enjoy the prey he had carefully trained?
Therefore, he prepared a lot for that night, even willing to give her everything he had afterwards. But things didn't go as planned, and all he did was benefit her.
How could Zhou Xi not hate, not be jealous, and not be content with this?
Zhou Xi took a deep breath, his eyes darkened, and his tone completely changed, "Jiang Xiyu, we've known each other for so long, you should understand me."
The words carried a clear warning.
After hearing this, Jiang Xiyu gave a cold sneer.
Ignoring his sarcasm, Zhou Xi asked one last time, as if to confirm, "Are you with Bai Chengci now?"
Jiang Xiyu tilted her head slightly, without answering him.
Zhou Xi loathed Jiang Xiyu's silence; to him, such silence was tantamount to acquiescence. Therefore, Zhou Xi's gaze darkened considerably.
He finally stopped pretending and bluntly revealed: "He's not right for you."
Zhou Xi looked at Jiang Xiyu and slowly, emphasizing each word: "You'll find out sooner or later that only we are the same kind of people..."
Jealousy was relentlessly eroding Zhou Xi's reason, and she felt as if she were on the verge of madness.
He said emphatically, "Don't force me, Jiang Xiyu."
Jiang Xiyu remained silent for a moment, then gave a nonchalant smirk.
This time, he lost patience and was not afraid of the threat in Zhou Xi's words. He walked past him without looking back. But halfway there, Jiang Xiyu suddenly said to Zhou Xi in a light tone, his voice extremely sarcastic: "You said you would apologize, but you didn't say sorry to me once from beginning to end. Don't you find that ridiculous?"
After saying that, Jiang Xiyu walked into the apartment building without waiting for Zhou Xi's reply.
Zhou Xi looked back at Jiang Xiyu's departing figure, and after a long while, she smiled in a cryptic way.
As he laughed, his expression suddenly vanished, and when he looked up, his eyes were extremely dark.
You can escape the first time, and you can escape the second time, but what about the third time?
"Things don't happen more than three times. Do you think you can escape from me so easily the third time?"
Jiang Xiyu, Jiang Xiyu...
I'm really going to kill you.
……
Jiang Xiyu returned to the apartment and found that Bai Chengci was still there.
He seemed to know he was back, so he waited in the entryway.
As soon as Jiang Xiyu opened the door, she saw him.
Jiang Xiyu was quite annoyed by Zhou Xi's persistence, and her tone was somewhat unpleasant: "Why are you still here?"
Bai Chengci seemed to sense Jiang Xiyu's bad mood, lowered her eyes, and explained in a weak voice, "I saw Zhou Xi downstairs, and I was afraid he would find out, so it wasn't appropriate for me to go down..."
Is there any need to hide it?
Jiang Xiyu seemed to see through him, moved her lips without any emotion, and then stared at Bai Chengci for a couple of seconds.
He was feeling quite upset and agitated, looking for an outlet for his frustration, and Bai Chengci was standing right in front of him…
Bai Chengci stared longingly at Jiang Xiyu, her expression gentle, perfectly conveying a sense of complete submissiveness.
Jiang Xiyu slowly stepped forward, met his gaze for a long while, then took a breath and whispered, "Go to my room..."
That tone, coupled with that aggressive gaze, was full of a certain ambiguous implication.
Bai Chengci paused for a moment, then lowered her head to kiss him after understanding.
Jiang Xiyu, however, held his chin with one hand, preventing him from kissing her.
Bai Chengci's heart suddenly tightened.
The air was quiet for a moment.
Jiang Xiyu frowned, then grabbed Bai Chengci's collar and casually yet forcefully dragged him toward her bedroom.
