Chapter 43

Since he had already come, he couldn't turn back, so he could only grudgingly accept it.

But Bai Xuechao would definitely not let him off easy.

"I want to drink milk tea." Bai Xuechao stretched out his arms and lay on the desk, his snow-white hair falling, his pigeon-blood ruby-like eyes looking at Ji Chuanze, "I want to drink Roasted Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea, and Soy Milk Jade Kirin... Ah, I also want to drink Jasmine Snow Bud Milk Tea."

Ji Chuanze stood by the door, holding his Tang Hengdao, looking very unwilling to approach Bai Xuechao. He pouted and said, "Then go buy it yourself, isn't there a mall downstairs?"

The Songhe Global Financial Center, where the Dark Organization was located, had a mall from the first to the sixth floor, with all kinds of shops. If you wanted to buy anything, you could just go down.

"What are you thinking?" Bai Xuechao smiled slightly, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "Of course, you're going to run errands and buy them."

"Ah?" Ji Chuanze squeezed out an unwilling sound from his throat, frowned, and said stubbornly, "I won't go."

Bai Xuechao tilted his head, resting his chin on the desk, looking at him with a half-smile: "Oh? You won't go? It's fine if you don't bow when you see me, I can understand rude savages, but you don't even listen to my commands. I really doubt if you can take good care of me. Otherwise, I'll just tell Jiang Yunyi that you're disobedient and ask him to replace you."

Jiang Yunyi was Ji Chuanze's Achilles' heel.

Listening to Bai Xuechao's words, Ji Chuanze's anger flared up but was immediately extinguished by Jiang Yunyi's name. He bit his teeth, suppressing his emotions, and said, "Tell me again what you want to drink."

"I—won't—say—" Bai Xuechao deliberately dragged out his words, being extremely annoying, and picked up his phone, pretending to make a call.

"Hey!" Ji Chuanze quickly stepped forward to stop him, rushing to Bai Xuechao's desk and grabbing his wrist. The thick wooden sheath of the Tang Hengdao hit the desk with a thud.

A faint, cool plum blossom fragrance lingered at his nose. Only then did Ji Chuanze realize that Bai Xuechao hadn't taken the medicine to hide his lure-pheromone today; it was just well-controlled, and he could only smell it when he got close. And whether intentionally or unintentionally, after he approached, the scent became slightly stronger.

Bai Xuechao looked up and glanced at him, saying carelessly, "Oh, now you're in a hurry? What were you doing just now?"

He operated his phone with one hand, entering the password to unlock the screen, slowly opening the dialer, and pressing a number. He could have directly dialed from the call history, but he insisted on pressing each digit one by one. It was hard to say he wasn't doing it on purpose.

However, even if Ji Chuanze knew it was deliberate, he could only fall into the trap.

He nervously grabbed Bai Xuechao's finger, which was still pressing numbers, stopping him from continuing to type. The icy touch made him look slightly stunned.

His fingers were too cold, his body temperature too low.

Ji Chuanze's misty gray eyes stared at Bai Xuechao. The pale-skinned, snow-haired boy, as if forged from ice and snow, looked at him, his red eyes containing a hint of amusement, as if waiting to see him make a fool of himself. If it were in the past and Bai Xuechao looked at him with such eyes, he would have drawn his sword and fought long ago, but remembering Mr. Jiang's instructions before coming here, he could only endure it.

After a long while, he murmured softly, "Mr. Bai... tell me... what do you want to drink."

Perhaps feeling that showing weakness like this, especially to someone he had always disliked, was very humiliating, Ji Chuanze's face flushed slightly, and his ears quickly turned red.

Bai Xuechao watched his embarrassment with interest, and only when he had seen enough, he slowly said, "I remember saying, 'If your voice is too low, I can't hear you,' didn't I?"

Hearing this, Ji Chuanze subconsciously bit his teeth. His gaze finally couldn't help but reveal a few hints of beast-like ferocity; he looked so angry he wanted to take a bite out of Bai Xuechao. His face became even redder, as if it would bleed.

A "bite" between special ability users was a real bite.

"What, you want to bite me?" Bai Xuechao propped himself up and leaned closer to him, tilting his head, "Do you dare?"

His frost-white hair fell to one side with his movement, inadvertently revealing his delicate, snow-white neck. The cold fragrance of snow plum seemed to grow stronger with his pulsating pulse.

Bai Xuechao's lips curved into a provocative smile. He looked at Ji Chuanze with a grin, as if silently saying: Do you really dare to bite me?

For a moment, Ji Chuanze's canines almost couldn't be suppressed from entering a hunting state, wanting to bite the neck of the person in front of him, devour his flesh, and drink his fresh blood. He instinctively took a few steps back to create distance, lowered his eyelids, clenched his fists, and after a long time, spoke softly, "I'm sorry."

His voice was very soft. If it weren't for his enhanced hearing as a special ability user, it's likely no one would have heard what he was saying clearly.

Bai Xuechao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Hmm?"

Ji Chuanze clenched his fists tightly, with a look of facing death bravely, and raised his voice: "I shouldn't have said you were deaf before."

Tsk, he actually apologized?

Bai Xuechao was a bit regretful that he chose to admit his mistake and gave a dry "Oh."

Ji Chuanze turned his head away, seemingly annoyed and embarrassed by backing down, not wanting to see Bai Xuechao's expression, which he imagined might be mocking—in reality, Bai Xuechao showed no expression; this was merely a figment of Ji Chuanze's pitiable pride.

Since he had already apologized, it couldn't be more humiliating than this, so Ji Chuanze simply gave up, and the subsequent matters flowed smoothly.

I only heard him stiffly ask: "Mr. Bai, what did you say you wanted to drink just now?"

Bai Xuechao didn't let him off the hook, and said leisurely, "You should say 'please.'"

His persistence made Ji Chuanze clench his teeth again, but a few seconds later, Ji Chuanze stiffly re-asked, "Mr. Bai, please, what do you want to drink?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "please ask," sounding somewhat through gritted teeth.

Bai Xuechao raised an eyebrow, choosing to continue to make things difficult for him, demonstrating his full ability to provoke a beating: "You should address me with 'you' in the polite form, okay?"

Bai Xuechao clearly heard Ji Chuanze take a deep breath.

Who knew, Ji Chuanze lowered his head, his drooping bangs concealed the expression in his eyes. His tone remained stiff: "Mr. Bai, please, what do you want to drink?"

Bai Xuechao: "..."

When did he become so patient?

Is this like an M-trait??

Yet, when Jiang Yunyi wasn't around before, Ji Chuanze was a mad dog. Just a few words could detonate his emotions, and they had fought more than once.

Since it had come to this, finding more trouble would be a bit unreasonable.

Bai Xuechao could only repeat the three types of milk tea he had mentioned earlier.

Watching Ji Chuanze write them down and prepare to leave his office to buy them, he made one last effort: "Oh, I forgot to mention, these are drinks from three different places. The mall downstairs only has two of them, and for the other one, you'll have to go outside to buy it. You can find the specific location yourself."

Ji Chuanze's retreating figure paused, his shoulders rising and falling slightly as if he had taken a deep breath. A few seconds later, he replied, "Understood."

He left without looking back.

It wasn't until Ji Chuanze's footsteps grew fainter and Bai Xuechao could no longer hear them that he spoke, somewhat shocked, "Ji Chuanze has become so patient? He's not even angry?"

In the past, if he had ordered Ji Chuanze around like this and kept provoking him, the other party would have fought him first, continuing until Jiang Yunyi came to break them up.

It seemed Ji Chuanze was truly afraid of being sent back to Jiang Yunyi. This indicated that Jiang Yunyi had ordered Ji Chuanze to stay with him. In that case, shaking off Ji Chuanze in A Port would be even more difficult. But he had to shake him off; he couldn't let him see him meet the male lead.

If Ji Chuanze discovered him contacting Zhou Chenhao, it would be equivalent to Jiang Yunyi discovering it, which would add a lot of unnecessary difficulty for him in the future. He found it troublesome.

However, Ji Chuanze wasn't very sharp-minded; he didn't know that even if he called Jiang Yunyi, Jiang Yunyi would at most criticize and order Ji Chuanze to obey him, but he wouldn't replace him. Because, on Jiang Yunyi's side, the only special ability user he trusted and who had the ability to keep up with him was Ji Chuanze.

Jiang Yunyi also said something about letting Ji Chuanze take care of him. Pfft, it was all an excuse.

But this was also good. He could use this opportunity to thoroughly boss (bully) Ji Chuanze around, and Ji Chuanze, bound by Jiang Yunyi's orders, could only endure it.

Wow, just thinking about it felt a bit satisfying.

Hearing Bai Xuechao's words, Xiao 6 only then realized that Bai Xuechao's actions just now all had a purpose: "Ah? Host, were you intentionally trying to provoke him?"

"Otherwise?" Bai Xuechao calmly retorted.

Xiao 6 obediently replied, "I thought you were just messing with him for fun..."

Bai Xuechao was silent for a second, then asked, "Do you think I'm that malicious?"

Xiao 6 didn't speak.

Sometimes, not speaking is an affirmation.

"Alright," Bai Xuechao smiled, "I'm just that malicious, so you'd better pray you don't fall into my hands."

Xiao 6: "Ying, Host is threatening the cute little system!"

Bai Xuechao let out a soft chuckle, lay down on a sofa nearby to rest, and played on his phone, waiting for Ji Chuanze to return.

After a while, Xiao 6 couldn't help but ask curiously, "Host, what did you want to achieve by provoking him?"

"Oh, to make him bite me." Bai Xuechao said indifferently, his words startling. He held up his index finger, making a 'one' gesture, "Even one bite would be enough."

Bai Xuechao had even used lure-pheromone just now, but only a little; too much would be noticed as deliberate. Based on his understanding of Ji Chuanze's personality, if the other party was successfully provoked, lost his head, and was further enticed by his lure-pheromone, he would definitely not be able to resist biting him to vent his anger. It was a pity that he was already on the verge, yet he held back.

He sighed, "He actually didn't bite me. Do I not smell appetizing enough?"

To be honest, apart from a brief encounter in the hallway last time, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Ji Chuanze wouldn't go to the hospital to see him. He had only judged from that hallway encounter that the other party's temperament was still pretty much the same as before. But Ji Chuanze would be an adult next month after all, and should have matured somewhat, not getting enraged by a few casual words from him as he used to.

So, he wasn't disappointed that it didn't succeed. He had originally thought the success rate was at most forty percent; he just wanted to give it a try.

What if it had succeeded? Then he wouldn't have had to bother shaking off the other party.

"No, Host, you definitely smell delicious... Wait, no, no!" Xiao 6 exclaimed, its code almost going blank in shock, "Why would you want someone to bite you?!"

"Ah, that's a long story, so I'll make it short." Bai Xuechao casually raised one hand to rest on the back of the sofa, his magnificent red eyes curving into an arc. He said meaningfully, "As long as someone bites me, even if they are someone carefully cultivated by Jiang Yunyi, they will be expelled from my side by Jiang Yunyi, or even simply dealt with."

He smiled: "Ji Chuanze doesn't know about this, you see."

That was a long, long time ago.

Back then, he was still a child, unlike now. At that time, he was very dependent on and trusted Jiang Yunyi. He used this trick to get rid of two special ability user children whom Jiang Yunyi was carefully nurturing, simply because he felt that Jiang Yunyi was paying too much attention to those two children and not enough attention to him during that period.

Anyway, he never saw those two people again later.
