Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

"Lu Ziqi, I've always thought of you as a younger brother..."

Jiang Xiyu didn't want to hear anything more, no matter what was said next.

He simply looked at Lu Ziqi, his cold tone carrying a hint of helplessness and warning: "So, don't say anything you'll regret."

Even if you don't say it out loud, you can still be friends.

But if I say it out loud, then we really won't even be able to be friends anymore.

Among this group of people, Jiang Xiyu didn't have many truly close friends; most of them were involved due to mutual interests. But he genuinely considered Lu Ziqi a friend.

Therefore, Jiang Xiyu did not want their friendship to be tainted by anything else.

Because he can't give it to me.

Feelings are not something you can just give to anyone.

He didn't want Lu Ziqi to get involved.

In a person's life, there are many roles that need to be played.

For example, relatives, friends, and lovers.

In the first half of Jiang Xiyu's life, she had few relatives and friends left, and her lover was the most special one, a person who could only exist in her life.

If even Lu Ziqi eventually loses his mind to him and abandons their friendship for an impossible role, then there's really nothing he can do.

Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment and then fell silent. Her gaze slowly lowered, as if she were letting out a long sigh.

Lu Ziqi sensed the clear rejection in his words, his lips trembled, and his voice became hoarse: "Brother, I..."

Jiang Xiyu glanced up at him indifferently.

When Lu Ziqi met Jiang Xiyu's seemingly disappointed gaze, his next words felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat. It was as if if he said anything more, he would really lose something like Xu Yunzhi and Zhou Xi.

So he stopped making a sound and couldn't even react.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Xiyu breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

Then, he looked at Lu Ziqi and continued calmly, "Perhaps you are just influenced by the people around you, so you don't need to take those feelings seriously."

Because those close to Jiang Xiyu all harbor certain romantic feelings for him, their words and actions inevitably cross the line of friendship to some extent.

Lu Ziqi had been following Jiang Xiyu closely, so of course he could see and hear her. Ultimately, influenced by these external factors, or even guided in some way, he might have developed the illusion that he liked her.

Jiang Xiyu didn't want this misconception to ruin their friendship.

He said this in the hope that Lu Ziqi would stop there.

Lu Ziqi understood perfectly. Looking at Jiang Xiyu's calm face, for a moment, Lu Ziqi felt his blood run cold.

Before he fell in love, he had never liked anyone, let alone a man.

However, Jiang Xiyu now attributes these feelings to him being influenced by others and tells him not to take them seriously, how could Lu Ziqi not be saddened?

His eyes were red.

Jiang Xiyu watched quietly, remaining silent for a long time. Whether out of some reluctance or something else, he reached out and patted Lu Ziqi's shoulder, sighing, "Don't be unhappy. I finally came back. Do you really want to waste your time talking to me about this?"

Lu Ziqi lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Xiyu's hand on his shoulder, and his nose inexplicably felt sore.

He knew that his brother was rejecting him.

But he was unwilling to give up...

After all, there's no feeling more genuine than this at this age.

Lu Ziqi finally couldn't help but say to Jiang Xiyu, "Brother, I don't want this either... but why can Bai Chengci do it?"

Mingming Bai Chengci was the last among their group to get to know Jiang Xiyu.

But why was he able to win Jiang Xiyu's affections?

Why did I win my brother's affections?

Lu Ziqi questioned silently, his eyes red.

After listening, Jiang Xiyu gave him an answer without hesitation: "Because he and I are not friends."

In Jiang Xiyu's world, friends and lovers are different.

Because we are friends, I don't want to lose this friendship.

Because we were lovers, I never intended to be friends with him in the first place.

Both are equally precious to Jiang Xiyu.

If Zhou Xi had asked him this question today, Jiang Xiyu would have refused without hesitation and even cut off all contact with him. But this person is Lu Ziqi, Lu Ziqi who has been completely open and honest with him since they met.

Therefore, Jiang Xiyu did not want to hurt him, nor did she want him to reveal it and bring their friendship to an end.

However, seeing that Lu Ziqi still looked confused, Jiang Xiyu had no choice but to explain it more simply.

"We're friends. Do you really want to hang out with me for a few days, then break up, and eventually end up not even being friends anymore?"

After a pause, Jiang Xiyu repeated her question with emphasis: "Lu Ziqi, do you want us to stop being friends?"

The consequences of saying "we can't even be friends anymore" completely threw Lu Ziqi into a panic.

He quickly grabbed Jiang Xiyu's hand and explained, "Brother, I didn't mean that, I just..."

There was just some jealousy and resentment.

He had been following Jiang Xiyu around, watching him talk with Xu Yunzhi, and now seeing him with Bai Chengci, his heart was stirred, and he also wanted to be with Jiang Xiyu.

But it was only at this moment that he suddenly understood.

If everything goes as he wishes, then his final outcome will be no different from Xu Yunzhi's.

Ignored and abandoned by my brother.

It didn't even have to come to that point. He just let slip a little, and it seemed like he was disappointed in him.

Thinking of the consequences, Lu Ziqi couldn't help but panic and pleaded, "Brother, I won't say anything more, please don't be angry."

Jiang Xiyu remained silent.

Lu Ziqi said, "I just haven't seen you for a month and I missed you so much, that's why I did this. I don't know what's wrong with me. I was wrong, brother, please don't be angry with me... I promise, I will never do this again."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyu's cold expression softened considerably.

He knew that Lu Ziqi was a simple-minded person. Although he had gone to university, his personality was still like a child's. He would fight for anything and anyone he cared about, afraid that someone else would take it away from him.

He has a good heart, and his intentions are genuine.

Jiang Xiyu could see it, but he hoped to nip these thoughts in the bud for Lu Ziqi.

After all, Lu Ziqi should just be a carefree young master; why should he get involved in his love life?

Now that he had made his promise, Jiang Xiyu pretended to be oblivious, as if she had never heard anything, and said, "I'm not angry. I'll go with you wherever you want to go later."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziqi's low spirits immediately lifted.

He asked in surprise, "Really?"

"Hmm." Jiang Xiyu responded lightly, watching Lu Ziqi's keen interest in figuring out where to go for fun, before she softened her cold expression and went along with him. "Anywhere is fine."

While Lu Ziqi was thinking, Jiang Xiyu went to the restroom.

At the same time, the person who had been hiding in the inner room finally pushed open the door and came out.

He looked at Lu Ziqi's foolish, coaxed expression, his sinister eyes deep and brooding. Then he leaned against the doorframe and let out a cold sneer: "I told you, didn't I? You have no chance."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziqi looked up, his expression suddenly turning grim.

He stared at Zhou Xi for a few seconds, then retorted sharply, "If I don't have a chance, do you?"

This guy, who doesn't even dare to see his brother, actually has the nerve to mock him.

Zhou Xi laughed after hearing this, a laugh that was somewhat chilling.

"You and I are different."

He will fight for what he wants, even if it means resorting to any means necessary.
