A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 69

Mr. Xi, the Study Companion (2)

Meanwhile, Bai Qi, who was sporting a set of dark circles, wrapped a scarf around his neck, picked up his bag, and quietly prepared to exit the house.

Just then, the door in front of him opened and Xi Chengyun walked in.

Today, he was dressed differently. He wore a pair of long black sports tights and a quick-dry white sports jacket. His body was radiating heat, his eyes looking sharper against the winter scenery. ‘Did he go for a morning run?’

Xi Chengyun reached forward and said, “Here.” Bai Qi looked and saw Shumai, soy milk, and hashbrowns.

“You’re just in time!” Bai Qi quickly took the food. His roommates were lazy pigs and would sleep in nine out of ten days. Bringing them breakfast had become Bai Qi’s job, so it was rare to see someone more diligent than him. That’s awesome!

Bai Qi bit into the Shumai. Where did he get this? It tasted better than the ones from the stalls in front of campus, and the minced pork didn’t have the usual sickly taste. Bai Qi walked towards the door as he ate, and just as he stepped outside, he heard the sound of Xi Chengyun taking off his jacket. “I’ll drive you there.”

It was the coldest period at Jing City, they even saw snow falling from inside the plane yesterday. Bai Qi didn’t want to freeze to death, so he immediately accepted Xi Chengyun’s offer.

Xi Chengyun’s cars were parked in the garage. When Shang Guang left, he had also left a not-eye-catching black Bently there. It was the car they used to pick Bai Qi up with for their first meeting. So, Xi Chengyun chose the black car, and off they went.

The distance wasn’t that far, but Bai Qi was trying to keep warm as much as possible.

“Do you always wake up so early when you’re filming?” Bai Qi asked.

“Mn, though, it’s more often that I sleep late. Sometimes, when we try to achieve certain looks in the film, shootings could last till midnight.”

Bai Qi smacked his lips and said, “Gosh, that isn’t easy.”

Xi Chengyun unlocked the car doors and drove into the university’s compound. “It’s not easy for you too.” When Bai Qi heard this, he thought that Xi Chengyun was nothing like Jiang Fangcheng’s father had said. Other celebrities usually try to gain sympathy from others by sadfishing, Xi Chengyun didn’t even bother to do so.

“We’re here,” Xi Chengyun said.

“Okay,” Bai Qi opened the door, got out of the car, and burped. The Shumai was pretty filling. He placed the rubbish into a bag and turned back. Just as he wanted to say his goodbyes and thanks ——

Pang.

Xi Chengyun had also gotten down from the car.

Bai Qi was confused.

“Let’s go,” Xi Chengyun said.

Bai Qi turned around and walked with Xi Chengyun following behind him. A long shadow appeared behind both of them. It seemed like the man had become another part of Bai Qi.

The library was packed early in the morning, just like Bai Qi had said. ‘My God, this is even more difficult than concerts.’

As they walked closer to the library, they could see a library staff nodding off to sleep by the entrance checking machines.

Bai Qi placed his card on the machine, diit, and went in.

“Okay, this is far enough, you can leave…” Before he finished, he heard another, diit, Xi Chengyun had swiped his card and entered too.

Ah. He forgot. Xi Chengyun was once also a student of Jing University. Bai Qi came to a realization, ‘Oh, it must be because of Qiu Sichuan’s questioning. Mr. Xi should be trying to make up for his lack of attention to detail.’

A Best Leading Actor indeed! He’s as dedicated as I am. Bai Qi gave him a thumbs up.

It was still very early, not all of the library lights were on, so the entire place was pretty dim. Other people in the library were also busy finding spots for themselves, so who had time to notice them? The two successfully found a spot next to the window on the third floor.

During the weekends, pairs of best friends and couples would come to the library to study. Just as Bai Qi sat down, he heard, Mwah.

Next to him, one of them said, “What did you have for breakfast?”

“Leek Jianbing.”

“...”

Wow, that must have been a flavorful kiss.

On the other side, another couple said, “I don’t know how to do this question, I’m going bald.”

“Don’t worry, let me have a look.” There was such a special learning atmosphere around them.

Bai Qi looked at the thick books in front of him, and then at the man beside him who had his long legs bent to fit into the narrow seat. That man had nothing in front of him.

They were acting cold and polite towards one another, did not seem like a couple at all. There were so many people in the library, would they accidentally expose themselves?

Bai Qi turned over and said, “How about we…”

“Mn?” Xi Chengyun didn’t think twice before leaning towards him.

Bai Qi lowered his voice and came closer to his ear and said, “I’ll give you a kiss each time you space out when you’re reading —— Say this to me later.”

Xi Chengyun froze, his gaze falling on Bai Qi’s face, and then down to Bai Qi’s moving lips.

The lighting in the room added a layer of juiciness to the pair of lips.

“This way, we’ll be flirtatious like a couple and I’ll also be encouraged to study harder so I won’t fail my finals. Plus, we don’t actually need to kiss and it just so happens that I haven’t been able to really focus these two days. See, aren’t we killing two birds with a stone?”

Xi Chengyun’s throat tightened. “...”

‘Where did Bai Qi learn all this from?’

‘This will encourage Bai Qi to study?’

‘So he’d rather study than be kissed?’

“Oh, also, you could try something like —— I’ll f*ck you every time you space out. Something like that would work even better, anyone would increase their speed in memorizing words when told that. But… that doesn’t really fit your character…”

Xi Chengyun’s throat tightened again. “...”

‘... What on earth does Bai Qi read?’

The hands of the clock pointed to 6 in the morning when, finally, someone posted online:

【I know why they are delaying the show by an episode!!!】

【Because Bai Qi will be having his finals soon!】

【He’s a true pampered little wife. The show paused right when his examination period began. I’m sold.】

【? I almost forgot that he is still a student. Can’t they just let him take his exams and allow the rest of the guests to film the next episode?】

【That’s not the issue... The problem is, it seems like Xi-laoshi has accompanied him back to campus to study. In other words, this means that for the next few days, we might be able to see them at Jing University!】
