A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 110

Now That’s Our Xi-ge! (1)

Bai Qi took two steps forward before he thought of something. “No can do... Why don’t we get back into the car and have Shang-ge drop us there? Your fans might recognize us.”

Just as he said that, he turned around and saw Xi Chengyun putting on a mask.

The light was dim in the dark night. Xi Chengyun had changed into another coat on the car, so he looked considerably different from the Xi Chengyun on stage.

However, his towering height was still very eye-catching.

Not to forget his eyes, which weren’t covered by the mask. One could tell that they were extraordinarily beautiful, even at a glance.

“Is this fine?”

“Alright.”

Bai Qi turned back and said, “Let’s go, we’ll need to walk through three more lanes to get there.”

“Mn,” Xi Chengyun replied, and quickly followed behind him.

Bai Qi felt something against his back. He immediately felt Xi Chengyun’s hand on his chin, while another helped him to put a mask on.

Bai Qi paused in his steps and said, “Huh? Do I have to wear one too?”

“Of course, you are also very popular now.”

Bai Qi gave it some thought and realized, ‘True... Little Lin mentioned that my number of followers on Weibo had increased by a lot.’

So, he obediently stood there and allowed Xi Chengyun to put the mask on for him.

Xi Chengyun was quick with his hands. “Done,” he said as he let go of Bai Qi.

Then, the two continued to walk forward, one after another.

It wasn’t very late into the night yet.

However, the three lanes were quite deserted and the few people who were there scurried past them.

They walked past lane after lane. The light shone on their faces and formed a long shadow behind them.

This was also an out-of-the-ordinary experience for Xi Chengyun.

The winter wind blew past him and he could hear the sound of Bai Qi’s breathing. It seemed like they were the only ones left in the world.

After walking for an unknown period of time, Bai Qi suddenly said, “We haven’t had dinner yet.”

Xi Chengyun was stunned for a moment before replying, “... True.”

“I want to see if the convenience store is still open... Hey, come over here. Be careful, there’s a hole here.” Bai Qi’s voice was blocked by the wind, he sounded like a prattling little animal.

‘Cute.’

Half an hour later, they reached the ground floor of the building of his home.

Bai Qi was still checking out the convenience store, and Xi Chengyun imperceptibly frowned. If he hadn’t followed along, Bai Qi would’ve walked alone for half an hour.

“Ah, it’s okay. It seems like it’s closed. It’s almost New Year’s, so shops are closing early.” Bai Qi took out his keys and opened the door of the apartment building.

He purposely waited for a moment, but no footsteps followed.

“Xi-ge, hurry up and come on in,” Bai Qi looked back and said.

Xi Chengyun stood there and was frozen for a moment. He then said in a low voice, “I didn’t bring any gifts with me. Can we go to a nearby shopping mall?”

“There aren’t any big shopping malls nearby… We only have wholesale markets around here,” Bai Qi replied.

“...”

The two stared at each other.

Xi Chengyun took out his phone and calmly said, “Let me give Shang Guang a call. I’ll ask him to buy some things from the shopping mall and send them over.”

‘Our relationship isn’t even real. How can I take advantage of him!’

If he were a rich and cruel man, Bai Qi wouldn’t have felt as bad.

But this was Xi-laoshi, a perfect and generous man!

Bai Qi didn't give it a second thought before he walked forward, linked his arm with Xi Chengyun’s, and brought him into the apartment. “It’s fine, let’s go in first.”

He frowned and turned to look at Xi Chengyun. “I’m about to starve to death.”

A flicker of light appeared in Xi Chengyun’s eyes before he entered the building.

Bai Qi’s house was on the 6th floor, and they had to take the stairs to get there. A thin layer of sweat perspired from their bodies.

“Let me find my keys.”

“Mn.”

Bai Qi searched through his pockets for the right keys.

After Bai Qi unlocked the door, he turned back and realized that Xi Chengyun hadn’t taken a step from his original spot. His tall figure seemed to become one with the floor, and his expression looked stiff under the illumination of the dimly lit corridor.

Xi Chengyun adjusted his sleeves and said in a low voice, “I look a bit disheveled.”

Bai Qi was puzzled.

“No, you don’t. Xi-laoshi, you look like someone who’d just had a meeting with the royalty in a palace...” Bai Qi said, his voice trailing off.

With that, Xi Chengyun finally moved and the stiffness on his face vanished.

He smiled at Bai Qi and said, “Mn.”

Bai Qi turned back and pulled open the door.

Xi Chengyun stood up straight.

And... he was met with the sight of a pitch-black apartment.

“...”

“Where are your parents?” he asked.

“My dad is usually at work and only comes home during the holidays. My mom... she’s likely working overtime again,” Bai Qi said as he reached forward to find the light switch.

Tak. The light was switched on and Xi Chengyun could finally see what was inside the apartment.

“I think there might be something we can work with in the fridge. Have a seat on the sofa and wait for me. I’ll make dinner.” Bai Qi changed out of his shoes and passed a pair of shoe covers to Xi Chengyun.

Bai Qi’s home wasn’t very big, around 80 square meters. There were two bedrooms, a storage room, and a separate living area.

Xi Chengyun walked to the sofa and took a seat. He inconspicuously began to observe the surrounding things. He finally felt like he was beginning to know more about Bai Qi’s life.
