My Arranged Marriage Partner Has Two Faces 32

Chapter 32

“…”

Xi Shi’s anger was instantly extinguished.

Although this act of coquetry was truly speechless, who could refuse someone who was clinging to them and calling them “gege”?

He couldn’t, anyway.

Xi Shi patted his back. “Who taught you to act coquettishly in front of your parents?”

He still felt apprehensive when he recalled the looks his parents-in-law gave him.

“If I didn’t do it in front of Mom and Dad, what if you divorced me?”

“…”

Was he still dwelling on this?

Xi Shi had a headache. “I’m not planning to divorce you.”

Zhong Yuxiao glanced at him silently and took out a familiar contract. “Amicable divorce after one year, hmm?”

So, he was waiting for him here.

Xi Shi couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t want to divorce me anymore?”

“From the beginning, you were the one who wanted a divorce, you were the one who wanted a sham marriage.” Zhong Yuxiao waved the paper. “This is the proof.”

When preparing the contract, Xi Shi hadn’t anticipated this day. He had an entire forest, why limit himself to one arranged marriage partner?

But now he had changed his mind.

“How about we void the contract?”

“A signed and sealed contract, do you think you can just void it as you please?” Zhong Yuxiao snorted, instantly occupying the moral high ground.

Xi Shi was exasperated and spread his hands. “Then what do you want?”

“Swear you won’t divorce me.” Zhong Yuxiao stared at him intently. “If you want a divorce, you’ll be impotent for life.”

“…”

What a vicious oath.

Although he knew that once he made up his mind, he wouldn’t waver, hearing the content of the oath still made Xi Shi shudder.

“You don’t dare?”

“What if you want to divorce me, what should I do?”

Zhong Yuxiao thought seriously for a few seconds and concluded, “Then beg me. I’m soft-hearted. If you beg me, I definitely won’t divorce you.”

Xi Shi was speechless. Did he look particularly stupid? That’s why Zhong Yuxiao dared to trick him like this, asking for an oath without even saying “I like you.”

“Fine, I swear.”

“You’re not sincere at all.”

“I’ve already made such a vicious oath, and that’s not sincere enough?” Xi Shi was shocked. “Zhong Er, don’t push it. If you keep pushing, I’ll show you what a fist the size of a sandbag looks like.”

Zhong Yuxiao knew when to stop and gave him the contract. As soon as Xi Shi got it, he tore it up and threw it in the trash can. Then he looked around the room.

This was his first time in Zhong Yuxiao’s room.

Zhong Yuxiao had been abroad for many years, and the room’s decoration still reflected his teenage preferences. There were Rubik’s cubes, models, and a guitar in the corner, like stepping into a time capsule. Xi Shi imagined what Zhong Yuxiao looked like as a teenager.

“Can you play the guitar?”

“No, I saw someone playing and thought it looked cool, so I wanted to learn, but pressing the strings hurt too much, so I gave up.”

Zhong Yuxiao honestly revealed his shortcomings, extending his hand. “These hands are probably only suitable for wearing rings.”

The ring on his ring finger was like a lock on his heart.

Xi Shi blinked, having to admit that Zhong Yuxiao looked beautiful with the ring on, he liked it very much.

“I think your hands are also suitable for hitting people. I’ll take you to catch a cheater someday, you can help me slap the scumbag and the adulterer.”

Zhong Yuxiao raised his eyebrows. Xi Shi saying this meant he was planning to take action against Shi Fengsheng and the adulterer.

He smiled and agreed. “Okay.”

“I thought you would say these hands are suitable for gripping the sheets.” Zhong Yuxiao clicked his tongue. “Xiao Cao Xi, I gave you a chance, but you’re useless.”

Some people just shouldn’t be tops, it was a waste.

Like Xi Shi.

The topic suddenly shifted from revenge to R-rated, and Xi Shi touched the small box in his pocket, his expression changing. “Here? Isn’t it a bit inappropriate?”

How was the soundproofing in this house? Would Zhong Fu and Zhong Mu hear them?

Xi Shi was worried, but what made him even more nervous was another matter: was he really going to lie down and be fucked?

He was a bit reluctant.

Why was he the grass? Couldn’t he be the sheep?

The young master’s expression changed repeatedly, and Zhong Yuxiao noticed. “What are you thinking about?”

“I want to be the sheep.”

As soon as he spoke, both of them froze.

Zhong Yuxiao was the first to react and burst out laughing. “Then I’ll be the wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

Xi Shi: “…”

Fuck, so he was still going to be eaten?

What eats wolves?

Xi Shi racked his brains trying to answer this question.

“Alright, aren’t you tired?” Zhong Yuxiao pulled him down onto the bed. “Let’s sleep, we have to get up early for school tomorrow.”

Just sleep?

Xi Shi was a bit surprised. He thought they would definitely have a “fight” tonight. “Tomorrow is Saturday, what are you going to school for?”

Zhong Yuxiao only had two classes a week, on Wednesday and Thursday.

“To give a lecture.”

The lecture time was fixed and couldn’t be changed. He also wanted to fool around with Xi Shi, but the timing wasn’t right tonight.

Zhong Yuxiao sighed inwardly. “I’ll take you to the school gate tomorrow and buy you some delicious food.”

“Grilled cold noodles?”

The first time they met, Zhong Yuxiao was lining up to buy grilled cold noodles at the school gate.

“No, not grilled cold noodles, they’re not very good.” Zhong Yuxiao wasn’t used to the taste and only took a few bites last time. “I’ll take you to eat starch sausages, strawberry tanghulu, mung bean cakes… those are the things I think are delicious.”

They were all common street food, Xi Shi had heard of them, but never tried them.

“I gave you all my cards, and you’re just going to buy me these?” Xi Shi said deliberately. “Who’s the stingy one? Whose feelings have faded?”

The boomerang flew back and hit Zhong Yuxiao.

“What’s wrong with these? I carefully chose them. Do you look down on starch sausages and tanghulu?” Zhong Yuxiao said dramatically. “Student Xi, the teacher didn’t know you were such a materialistic person, that’s not good.”

Xi Shi was stunned. He could do that too?

How come the same thing was considered stingy and materialistic when he did it, but not when Zhong Yuxiao did it? Zhong Yuxiao’s mouth was truly capable of turning black into white.

Zhong Yuxiao took out his pajamas and gave him a set. “I’ll shower in the guest room, you can use the bathroom here. Just leave your clothes outside, I’ll wash them later.”

He paused and ruffled Xi Shi’s hair. “Get some rest after your shower, don’t think about anything weird. I asked Uncle Qin to charge the electric scooter. I’ll ride you to school tomorrow, so you don’t develop any bad capitalist habits.”

“…”

Xi Shi was speechless.

Had he just been lectured by the equally wealthy Second Young Master Zhong?

Also, who was thinking about weird things?!

When Zhong Yuxiao returned after his shower, the water in the bathroom was still running. Xi Shi’s clothes were outside, and as he picked them up to wash them, something fell out of the pocket.

A flat, pink box with English letters on it.

Zhong Yuxiao immediately thought of something he was very familiar with, but upon closer inspection, it seemed different from what he imagined.

The bathroom door opened, and Xi Shi came out in his pajamas, drying his hair. “Where’s the hairdryer?”

He had looked around the bathroom but couldn’t find it.

“In the cabinet, I’ll get it for you.”

After he moved out, Zhong Mu, afraid of leaving it plugged in, had someone put it away.

Zhong Yuxiao handed him the hairdryer and followed him into the bathroom.

The moisture hadn’t completely dissipated, and the air in the bathroom was humid. Xi Shi’s hair dye had washed off, returning to its deep green color, only the roots were dark, newly grown hair.

Xi Shi silently dried his hair, ignoring Zhong Yuxiao behind him. After he finished, he looked over. “Do you need me to dry your hair?”

“Yes.”

Zhong Yuxiao lowered his head and felt Xi Shi’s hand running through his hair. The hairdryer blew warm air, and he smelled the same sandalwood scent of his shower gel on Xi Shi.

The heavy yet elegant sandalwood scent smelled different on Xi Shi than he remembered.

Zhong Yuxiao took a few deep breaths, his chest feeling warm.

“Done.”

Xi Shi ruffled his hair. “Have you dyed your hair before?”

“Mm.”

“Don’t bleach it anymore, it’s very damaging to your hair.”

Zhong Yuxiao looked up, his gaze falling on his head, as if questioning how he had the nerve to say such a thing.

Xi Shi said earnestly, “You’re still young, listen to gege. I’m saying this for your own good, I’m afraid you’ll go bald in a few years.”

Zhong Yuxiao: “…”

“Baldness doesn’t run in my family. Look at my dad and my brother, neither of them are bald.”

“What if your genes mutated? After all, your dad and your brother are both virtuous gentlemen, you’re nothing like them.”

Zhong Yuxiao slowly typed a question mark.

Xi Shi patted his head. “Good boy, listen to gege.”

This action was familiar, and Zhong Yuxiao suddenly remembered what he had said to Xi Shi before showering. “Are you getting back at me for saying you have bad capitalist habits?”

Xi Shi didn’t reply.

Alright, case closed.

If you said Xi Shi held grudges, he didn’t make a fuss after Zhong Yuxiao embarrassed him in public at the bar. If you said he was magnanimous, he would always find a way to get back at him for every little thing.

Sometimes Xi Shi’s contradictions made him not know what expression to make.

Like the “little sheep eating grass” incident, he was clearly reluctant, yet he still teased him.

“I found something, is it yours?” Zhong Yuxiao took out the small box.

Xi Shi’s pupils constricted, and he quickly tried to snatch it. “You went through my clothes?”

“It fell out when I was picking up your clothes to wash them.” Zhong Yuxiao’s eyes were subtle, his suspicion growing stronger. “Why did you buy this?”

“None of your business!”

He was still acting tough.

“How is it none of my business? You secretly bought this, aren’t you hinting that you want to skip sleep and…”

Xi Shi’s ears turned red, and he covered his mouth. “Don’t say it!”

He swore, he was truly possessed when he bought it.

“Ha.” Zhong Yuxiao’s eyes curved into a smile. “Why not? Don’t you want to have a competition with me to see who can blow the biggest bubble?”

Xi Shi froze, confused and bewildered. “Blow bubbles?”

Zhong Yuxiao pointed at the English words on the box and translated, “Bubble gum.”

“…”

This was bubble gum???

Zhong Yuxiao opened the package and took out a piece of gum, putting it in Xi Shi’s mouth. “Did you think this was—”

“No!”

How could he be so embarrassing?

Xi Shi’s face was flushed, refusing to admit he had bought the wrong thing.

How could this be bubble gum? Who would package bubble gum like this and put it near the cashier?

Xi Shi chewed the gum fiercely, his eyes glaring, as if saying, “Say another word and I’ll bite you to death.”

Zhong Yuxiao suppressed his laughter, took out a piece of gum, and put it in his mouth, chewing. “It’s strawberry flavored.”

He blew a bubble and chuckled. “So you like this flavor, I’ll buy it for you next time.”
