A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 112

Xia Yang (1)

By the time Bai Qi came out from the bathroom, Su Meixian was almost done with her dinner.

“Xi-ge, the temperature of the bath is just right, you can go in and…” Bai Qi had slipped on a pair of slippers and continued to walk before he saw Shang Guang and Su Meixian.

He immediately paused.

Shang Guang was at a loss when he saw the water dripping from Bai Qi’s hair. He quickly stood up and rubbed his hands together. “Where’s the hairdryer? Let me blow dry it for you.”

Bai Qi rubbed his hair with a towel and said, “No need.”

Soon, Su Meixian finished the remaining food on the table.

Half an hour later, Bai Qi and Xi Chengyun sat together on the sofa.

Xi Chengyun had his sleeves folded up. He’d folded it up when he was reheating the food for Su Meixian. Despite that, he still looked as elegant and poise as ever.

On the other hand, there was Bai Qi, who’d changed into his pajamas. His pajamas were oversized, and it made him look tiny. There were also two cute penguin flappers at the tip of his slippers.

Bai Qi sat there obediently, but was feeling a little nervous.

He hung his head low, as if he’d done something wrong,

He could act as much as he wanted to outside, but when he was at home, he really couldn’t.

He was worried that he’ll expose himself.

Shang Guang took a deep breath and thought, ‘I feel suffocated.”

It is not an easy task to meet the parents.

Even if it was just for show.

Shang Guang quickly turned around and said, “Hey, leave it to me. I’ll do the dishes, please, allow me. You can go ahead, you haven’t even had a chance to talk to Bai Qi, right?”

Su Meixian looked at him, speechless.

‘He is oddly hardworking.’

‘Fine then.’

Su Meixian took off her sleevelets and slowly walked into the living room.

She glanced at the two people before her, and just as Bai Qi’s anxiousness intensified, Su Meixian couldn’t keep her laughter at bay.

HAHA.

‘Now, this looks more like an expression you should make when you bring your significant other home for the first time.’

“Alrighty, have you blow dried your hair yet?” Su Meixian asked.

“It’s dry,” Bai Qi answered in a small voice.

“Mn, I’ll change the sheets for you. It’s too late now, if you have something to say, let’s wait till your dad comes home. I have to go to work early tomorrow…” Su Meixian yawned, then turned to enter the bedroom.

Bai Qi was confused.

‘Is that it?’

Xi Chengyun was also stunned for a moment. He had expected Bai Qi’s mom to frown and wail at him.

“Maybe it’s because I’d already come out to my family a long time ago…” Bai Qi said quietly.

Xi Chengyun paused, and attempted to ask nonchalantly, “Because of Jiang Fangcheng?”

“Mn. Since I’d already gotten into a relationship with a boy, I figured that it wouldn’t be nice of me to turn back to girls in the future.”

“En,” Xi Chengyun replied in a low voice.

“All done, the bed might be a bit small though…” Su Meixian walked out from the bedroom.

Bai Qi hugged Xi Chengyun by the neck and brought himself closer to his ear and said, “Mn… There’s no way my parents would accept something like a contractual marriage. So, I have to trouble Xi-laoshi…”

“To continue putting up an act?” Xi Chengyun continued in a low voice.

“Yup.”

“No problem.”

‘My master is so understanding,’ Bai Qi suddenly thought.

Xi Chengyun picked him up and carried him in his arms.

Bai Qi was shocked.

Su Meixian too.

“It’s been a very long day for him,” Xi Chengyun explained.

“Ah, did you attend a new program today? Is that why?” Su Meixian asked.

“Yes,” Xi Chengyun replied.

Su Meixian walked forward and lovingly caressed Bai Qi’s head. “Alright then, go have a good rest.”

She seemed like someone who’s understanding, and has seen much in life.

Xi Chengyun carried Bai Qi into the room, closed the door behind himself and pressed Bai Qi against the door.

Bai Qi didn’t know what to do next. “Should, should we make some noise to make things seem more realistic?”

His mind was filled with odd literature which related to things like,  “To hold him against the door and to kiss him till squeaking sounds can be heard”.

Xi Chengyun looked down at him and unconsciously raised his hand to pat and ruffle Bai Qi’s hair. Then, he carried him to the bed and said, “There’s no need.”

“Ah, okay. Go and take a bath then, you don’t have to worry about me.” Bai Qi rolled over on his bed. “What a familiar smell,” he mumbled and rolled under his sheets. He was starting to feel drowsy.

Xi Chengyun waited for Su Meixian to wash up and rest, then for Shang Guang to leave before he went to take a bath.

Then, he recalled…

He’d forgotten to get Shang Guang to bring his clothes over.

He had no choice but to throw on Bai Qi’s bathrobe and exit the bathroom.

“Bai Qi,” he said softly.

He received no reaction from him. It was clear that he had fallen asleep.

“… Qi Qi.” Xi Chengyun tried to address him in a different way.

The person in bed seemed to be particularly sensitive towards this name. He rolled over in a half asleep state and replied, “ Mn?”

“I didn’t bring any clothes with me, Qi Qi.”

“Wardrobe… feel free…”

And nothing else followed.

Xi Chengyun stood up, walked to the wardrobe and opened it.

There were shirts and t-shirts that showed signs of wear and tear.
