Chapter 196: Secondary CP1: Bai Shengyun's Perspective

When Bai Shengyun just started his first year of high school, he hated going to school because the boys in his class were always mean and rude, like country dogs that had never seen the world.

He just had whiter skin, prettier eyes, and looked better than the ugly one, so the boys gave him nicknames - sissy, sissy, white sister, and woman.

He hated these words the most.

The history of the Bai family can be traced back to before modern times. After entering the modern era, they independently cut off the gray industries and started doing legitimate business with others.

Due to his family situation, those people would not beat or scold him directly, but they would say the insults they had in their hearts to him in a joking way.

Bai Shengyun did not study hard and skipped classes. He was discovered by Bai Qiulu, who then had him captured and thrown back from outside the school wall.

Every time he ran, he was thrown away.

He climbed over all the walls of the school, but Bai Shengyun would still be caught by his men.

Bai Shengyun also hated going home. Every time he saw Xiao Ruxuan's face, he felt annoyed and angry. When he saw the scene of a loving mother and a filial daughter, he became even angrier.

But no matter how angry she was, Bai Shengyun never cried in front of outsiders.

When Bai Qiulu taught him a lesson, he called Bai Qiulu an old woman; when someone called him a sissy, he would seize on the weakness of the other person's appearance and curse back, calling them a catfish spirit, a shoe horn spirit, or Qiu Qianchi, whatever the other person looked like.

When the other person said he couldn't take a joke, he punched the man and said it was also a joke.

Only when Bai Shengyun returned to her room and locked the door would she hide under the quilt and cry secretly.

Bai Shengyun didn't know why he was crying. He just felt wronged and no one was on his side. He didn't know how to change the situation. It had always been like this.

The boy didn't have much on his mind. He would just feel sad in the dead of night and continue to fight against others the next day.

Bai Shengyun's IQ does not allow him to work hard. He is unwilling to learn the knowledge in class and is not willing to learn Sanda. The only thing he is good at is his only hobby - photography.

Bai Shengyun likes photography because Jiang Yanyu gave him a camera before leaving China. The camera was very old, a product of the last century, and was placed in a drawer at school and locked to prevent it from being stolen by Xiao Ruxuan.

But Bai Shengyun never used that camera outside. He bought countless new cameras and used them alternately.

Unable to skip classes and leave school, Bai Shengyun decided to just skip classes and hang out in various corners of the campus, wasting time until school was over and then taking the shuttle bus home.

Bai Shengyun hid in a corner behind the library and played games on his computer for several days. He played so much that he forgot to eat and felt dizzy, and soon found it boring.

He should do something else.

Bai Shengyun put the computer tightly into his schoolbag, thinking that he should do something commemorative.

The scenery in the international school is nice, with ginkgo trees planted on both sides of the school road. In the golden autumn, the ground is golden and covered with fallen ginkgo leaves everywhere.

Bai Shengyun thought of a brilliant way to pass the time, which was to stand on the rooftop of the main teaching building, take pictures from various angles, and create a panoramic picture of the school.

After making the decision, the next day, Bai Shengyun brought a wide-angle lens to school and hid on the rooftop to take aerial photos.

There was no one on the rooftop. Bai Shengyun stayed there for two days but failed to achieve the desired effect.

On Thursday noon, Bai Shengyun sat on the ground and checked the photos as usual, but he always felt dissatisfied.

Click, click.

There were footsteps coming from the stairwell, like the sound of high heels stepping on the ground.

Bai Shengyun raised his gaze in confusion.

Squeak...

The door leading to the rooftop was pushed open, and a girl with long flowing hair walked in. She was wearing a shortened school uniform skirt and shirt. Her legs were thin and long, and the straps of her crystal high heels were wrapped around her calves, loose and dazzling.

When the door opened, Bai Shengyun smelled the scent of daisy perfume. He usually hated this smell the most because Xiao Ruxuan would use this perfume, but now, he didn't hate it.

Bai Shengyun moved his gaze from the thin ankles upwards to the girl's face.

Her arms were tied over her crotch, her shirt was tied into a knot around her slender waist, her hair hung casually on her back, and every strand of hair was curled into an exquisite arc.

High eyebrows, phoenix eyes, long eyelashes, red lips, and cross earrings from the new season of Étincelle on her earlobes.

Bai Shengyun sat there in a daze, feeling that he had never seen such a beautiful and handsome girl in his life. Of course, his life was only fifteen years.

Usually there is no one here. Qin Xiaoxi sometimes comes to the rooftop to stand and talk on the phone with her boyfriend who lives in a different school.

Why is there a child here today?

Qin Xiaoxi stood at the stairs, her eyes arrogant and cold. She looked up and down at Bai Shengyun with bright eyes. Without saying a word, she turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait..." Bai Shengyun subconsciously stopped him, although he didn't know why he did that.

Qin Xiaoxi frowned slightly and looked back at Bai Shengyun, "What can I do for you?"

Qin Xiaoxi's voice was just like her, as cold as ice. Bai Shengyun stood up hastily, his heart beating faster unconsciously. He walked up to her and wanted to ask her name.

"What do you want?"

Qin Xiaoxi was a little wary and wanted to take a step back, but Bai Shengyun was two heads shorter than her and only reached her shoulders, so he did not pose any threat.

At that time, Qin Xiaoxi was wearing ten-centimeter high heels and was almost 1.9 meters tall. Bai Shengyun was still growing and could only look up at Qin Xiaoxi.

Bai Shengyun didn't expect that the girl could be so tall. He was stunned and lost all his courage. He didn't even dare to ask her name.

"I, I..." Bai Shengyun stuttered and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Qin Xiaoxi waited for nearly a minute, and the boy in front of her was still stuttering. She asked impatiently, "How long are you going to stay here?"

When the wind blew, the fragrance from Qin Xiaoxi's hair was brought to the tip of her nose.

Bai Shengyun was nervous, his heart was pounding, and he quickly said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'll leave now."

After saying this, Bai Shengyun ran back to his original position, put away his schoolbag and camera, lowered his head, and ran downstairs dejectedly.

Bai Shengyun ran so fast that he fell when he reached the first floor and almost broke the camera.

The rapid heartbeat and the strange feeling in the chest are difficult to eliminate.

For the next week, Bai Shengyun didn't dare to go to the rooftop. He sat in the classroom and attended classes for some unknown reason. He didn't pay any attention to what the teacher was saying and kept thinking about Qin Xiaoxi's face in his mind.

"Hey, Sister Bai, why are you here for class?"

The tallest boy in the class was surprised to see him coming to class. As soon as the get out of class was over, he ran to him and put his arm heavily on him.

Bai Shengyun hated this name and immediately fought back, "Where is your father, Bai? Look at yourself, you look like a blobfish. Anyone who sees you will vomit up their overnight meal. I can't sleep or eat when I think of you."

The boy had never seen a blobfish, so naturally he didn't know what Bai Shengyun was scolding. He only knew that he was scolding himself for being ugly.

"As expected of Sister Bai, she scolds people like a woman, a shrew." The boy said with a smile.

Bai Shengyun was sitting near the door. Just as he was about to curse back, he smelled the scent of daisies wafting towards him.

"Classmate, I'm looking for your class monitor." Qin Xiaoxi stood at the door. Today she was wearing a pair of black short boots and an oversized leather jacket. She looked even cooler than that day.

Qin Xiaoxi didn't show any surprise, obviously treating him as a stranger.

Bai Shengyun felt a little disappointed. He replied, "Okay, right away," and then ignored the boy and went to call the class monitor out.

Bai Shengyun sat back in his seat and took a book from the drawer to read, pretending to be serious, but in fact he was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

Unfortunately, the two were not talking in the corridor, but walking towards the office.

"Sister Bai, you actually like girls?" Seeing Bai Shengyun's strange expression, the Drop Fish Man started to talk nonsense again, making exaggerated expressions and speaking so loudly that it seemed as if he wanted to attract everyone else.

"Hey, Bai Shengyun actually likes girls!"

"Didn't you see that he was staring at Senior Qin just now, his eyes were wide open!"

"Bai Shengyun actually likes girls!"

......

The Blobfish Man made a big publicity and attracted those idiots to come and surround Bai Shengyun and make a fuss.

Bai Shengyun should have scolded back one by one as usual, using the minority to defeat the majority and scolding these men until they were red in the face.

But now, the only three words in Bai Shengyun's mind were "Senior Sister Qin". He wondered whether the girl was a sophomore or a junior in high school, which class she was in, and what her name was.

The boys around were still making a noise. Bai Shengyun was recalling the scene of that day, lost in thought. He seemed to be isolated from the world, and his whole body shrank in a bubble of thought.

The noise had nothing to do with him. Bai Shengyun could only hear his own heartbeat and the auditory hallucination of Qin Xiaoxi talking.

He must know this girl's name and which class she is in, Bai Shengyun thought.

After determining the target, Bai Shengyun did not arrive late early the next morning. He left home early and waited at the school gate.

Bai Shengyun hid behind the ginkgo tree, waiting for the girl to enter the school.

Ten minutes before the bell rang, the target finally entered the school gate. Bai Shengyun pretended to be a student entering the school together and followed the girl to her classroom.

In Class 2 (3) of Senior High School, Bai Shengyun saw her walk into the classroom, secretly wrote down the class number, and then returned to her own classroom.

It really is my senior.

Bai Shengyun wondered, her last name was Qin, what would her name be?

He should wait at her classroom door and see how her classmates called her.

From that day on, Bai Shengyun would squat at the school gate every morning, secretly glance at Qin Xiaoxi, then continue to skip classes and take pictures on the rooftop.

The panoramic view had been completed long ago, but in order to "accidentally meet" Qin Xiaoxi again, Bai Shengyun still stayed on the rooftop.

But Qin Xiaoxi did not come to the rooftop again. Instead, she found another place to make a phone call - a secret open space behind the gymnasium.

Bai Shengyun found Qin Xiaoxi hiding in an open space at noon one day.

Because of boredom, Bai Shengyun no longer stayed on the rooftop, but wandered around the campus with a camera in hand, taking pictures here and touching there.

The golden ginkgo leaves covered the ground and fell as the weather got cooler.

The ginkgo trees are most densely packed next to the gymnasium. After taking pictures of the sky for a few days, Bai Shengyun decided to change the place to take pictures and go to the side of the gymnasium.

The path next to the stairs outside the gymnasium is the entrance to the open space. You have to go down the stairs, land at a lower place, and then walk along the path to reach the open space covered with leaves.

Bai Shengyun put the camera in his bag, supported himself with one hand, and flipped into the narrow path.

However, just as Bai Shengyun took a step inside, a small quarreling sound came from the front, stopping him in his tracks.

The voice was very familiar. Bai Shengyun stood on tiptoe, moved lightly inside, and hid at the corner of the stairs.

"I told you, I have nothing to do with him."

"Whatever you think."

"Let's break up. I'm tired. Goodbye."

......

separate? !

Qin Xiaoxi has a boyfriend? !

Bai Shengyun felt complicated. He felt a little jealous because he knew Qin Xiaoxi had a boyfriend, but he also felt secretly happy when he witnessed the breakup scene.

There was only Qin Xiaoxi's voice, which meant she was on the phone.

Qin Xiaoxi said a few more words, her voice sounded tired, and soon she fell silent and hung up the phone.

Bai Shengyun hid in the corner and secretly poked his head out to take a peek inside.

Qin Xiaoxi was half leaning against the wall, looking at her phone with her back to him. Bai Shengyun could only see a tall figure from behind.

As if she had noticed his gaze, Qin Xiaoxi raised her head and was about to turn around, but Bai Shengyun quickly shrank back and ran back on tiptoe.

He returned along the same route, went around the stairs, and ran into the gymnasium to hide. Bai Shengyun covered his chest and breathed calmly.

His heart was pounding. Bai Shengyun didn't know why he was running, why he was eavesdropping, and why he was squatting at the school gate every day.

Qin Xiaoxi was like a dangerous and beautiful flower. The fragrance between her hair was like an alluring drug that not only bewitched him, but also bewitched many others.

Bai Shengyun wanted to get closer, but was timid. He was looking forward to meeting Qin Xiaoxi and hoping that Qin Xiaoxi would recognize him, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to approach her.

Bai Shengyun leaned against the glass door of the gymnasium, unable to catch his breath, and did not notice Qin Xiaoxi walking in from outside.

"Xiaoxi! Come here quickly, the teacher is about to start the class!"

A girl in front was shouting towards the door. Bai Shengyun raised his head and heard the sound of another door being pushed open behind him. He stood there in a daze, not daring to move.

The scent of daisies flowed into her respiratory tract, and Qin Xiaoxi's soft hair fluttered in the wind, and the ends of her hair brushed across Bai Shengyun's fingertips, like delicate silk cloth.

“Here it comes!”

Qin Xiaoxi ran forward, the fragrance from her hair wafting towards her face. Bai Shengyun stood still, staring at her figure that was getting farther and farther away.

Qin Xiaoxi was wearing sportswear, a belly-baring vest on the upper body, and oversized trousers on the lower body, revealing her slender waist. She did not look frivolous at all, but rather very handsome.

Qin Xiaoxi ran to her seat, picked up the badminton and racket, walked to the court with her partner, and served a high toss.

The sound of swinging the racket was so loud that Bai Shengyun could hear it even though he was standing at the door. The badminton jumped high, flew over the net, and was hit back again.

Qin Xiaoxi jumped high, the muscles on her arms were fully revealed, her whole body suspended in the air, and then fell down again.

The loose hair did not affect Qin Xiaoxi's movements, but instead added a kind of cool beauty to her. Every hair seemed to have vitality, which tickled Bai Shengyun's chest and made his breathing uncomfortable.

"Classmate, class has already started."

The physical education teacher from another class walked in and reminded Bai Shengyun to go in and not to stand at the door in a daze.

“Okay, okay!”

Bai Shengyun recovered from his trance, ran to the audience seats with his waist hunched, hid his whole body behind the railing, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and peeked at Qin Xiaoxi in the venue.

After peeking for a while, Bai Shengyun felt thirsty and wanted to get some water from his bag. However, when he touched the camera in the bag, he realized that this was a good opportunity to take a photo of Qin Xiaoxi.

Bai Shengyun quickly took out his camera and placed it on the railing.

But his squatting posture was too strange, and now he took out a camera to take pictures, which soon attracted strange looks from his classmates.

Bai Shengyun coughed lightly. In order to disguise himself, he first stood up and took pictures of the lights on the ceiling of the gymnasium, and then took pictures of the surrounding environment, pretending to be a serious person taking pictures.

After the people around him got used to it and thought he was framing the stadium, Bai Shengyun moved the camera downwards and aimed it at Qin Xiaoxi.

A hovering figure broke into the camera. Bai Shengyun moved closer, ignoring the people around Qin Xiaoxi and only taking a picture of her.

During the entire class, Bai Shengyun took many photos, abandoning the technical constraints and relying entirely on his intuition to take pictures of Qin Xiaoxi when he thought she looked good.

In this way, Bai Shengyun carried a camera with him for a whole year. Whenever he had the chance, he would take out the device and secretly take a picture of Qin Xiaoxi.

Back view, side view, front view, looking down, looking straight ahead, Bai Shengyun saved every photo in a folder, named the folder "School", and stored it in the most inconspicuous place on the computer to avoid being discovered by others.

After Qin Xiaoxi broke up, she soon found a boyfriend from the same school.

Bai Shengyun sometimes took photos of the two of them holding hands, but he would cut out the boy's figure and leave only Qin Xiaoxi.

The young man fell in love. Bai Shengyun fell into inexplicable ecstasy after witnessing Qin Xiaoxi's breakup, but felt sad when he saw that she had a new boyfriend.

When there were thousands and millions of photos, Bai Shengyun finally grew up and her height increased rapidly. She grew nearly 20 centimeters a year. She was no longer the short and thin "Sister Bai", but entered the ranks of tall people.

During the summer vacation after his freshman year in high school, Bai Shengyun did not go to London to hang out with Jiang Yanyu, but went to the gym to lift weights and do anaerobic exercise.

Qin Xiaoxi's boyfriends are always tall and strong. Bai Shengyun has to admit that Qin Xiaoxi has high taste and matches well with those boys.

Bai Shengyun went to the gym every day, took in enough protein, and doubled his food intake, just so that when school started, he could stand in front of Qin Xiaoxi openly and confess his love to her instead of hiding in the dark and taking pictures.

Fitness and muscle building have a quick effect.

On the first day of school, as soon as Bai Shengyun got off the car, he attracted the attention of his junior and senior classmates. He could even feel the scorching gazes of the people around him.

It's a wonderful feeling.

Becoming the focus of the crowd gave Bai Shengyun more confidence. He was definitely a match for Qin Xiaoxi, both in terms of family background and appearance.

However, Qin Xiaoxi did not come to school.

During a week, Bai Shengyun waited at the school gate and went to her class to look for her, but to no avail.

Where did Qin Xiaoxi go?

Bai Shengyun tried to ask her classmates and found out her address indirectly. She went to the place, but found that the owner had changed long ago.

Bai Shengyun didn't want to ask Bai Qiulu for help, and he didn't want Xiao Ruxuan to know who he liked, so he had to ask Jiang Yanyu for help.

When all the photos and information were sent to his account, Bai Shengyun was completely dumbfounded and sat quietly in front of the computer for the whole night.

Why?

Just because her family went bankrupt, Qin Xiaoxi would rather drop out of school and do this?

Bai Shengyun couldn't understand it, because he had never been short of material things and had everything he wanted. He just needed to be wary of Xiao Ruxuan.

Even if Bai Qiulu beat him, scolded him, or hated him, she would not restrict him financially because he was the only youngest son of the Bai family.

The information sent by Jiang Yanyu was not beautified, it was naked and direct.

For a man, for such an ugly man, for a little bit of money from that ugly man, Qin Xiaoxi is willing to be a kept female companion?

In addition to the photos of Qin Xiaoxi and the man, the information also included ambiguous photos of the man and other women.

The more Bai Shengyun looked, the more his heart ached. A feeling of evil pressed into his throat, causing his internal organs to ache.

He wanted to vent and shout, but in reality, Bai Shengyun did nothing. He just opened the photos he took and cried in front of the computer.

Why? Why?

Is money so important? Can you sell yourself out for money?

Bai Shengyun couldn't figure it out. He thought about it during the day and at night, but he just couldn't figure it out.

Qin Xiaoxi was one of the most popular students in the school, so the news of her dropping out naturally could not be suppressed and quickly spread throughout the campus in a few days.

Soon, half-true and half-false rumors spread everywhere. Some said Qin Xiaoxi went abroad to study, some said she sold herself because her family went bankrupt, and some said she transferred to an ordinary school.

"Qin Xiaoxi has had so many boyfriends, it's not surprising that a slut would do something like this."

"If she just cried and asked the boys in school for help, they might help her. Why would she do such a thing?"

"Hahahaha, bitch, not surprising."

After hearing these words, Bai Shengyun could no longer suppress his pent-up anger. He punched the person who spoke in the face, then sat on him and beat him, and no one could pull him away.

The one-sided beating soon turned into a mutual fight. Bai Shengyun and the boy fought from the corridor to the classroom, and their faces were bruised and bloody.

Fighting in public will be punished regardless of one's family background.

Bai Shengyun was suspended from school, and when he returned home he was beaten up by Bai Qiulu's men and locked up in a room.

During the month of confinement, Bai Shengyun couldn't help but ask Jiang Yanyu for information about Qin Xiaoxi, but all he got were photos of Qin Xiaoxi and that man, and a few photos of her working as a model.

Just one month.

The makeup on Qin Xiaoxi's face has become more mature. She used to just apply a layer of peach-colored lipstick to enhance her complexion, but in the photo she is wearing bright red lipstick.

Big waves, diamonds, necklaces, dresses.

Qin Xiaoxi in the photo doesn't look like an 18-year-old girl, but rather like an adult in her twenties, extremely unfamiliar.

My heart ached so much, as if someone had stabbed me, grinding and twisting it repeatedly.

Bai Shengyun impulsively turned on the computer, opened the folder where the photos were stored, right-clicked the mouse, and wanted to delete all the photos.

But when the mouse moved to the delete key, Bai Shengyun stopped and was reluctant to press it.

As long as you press it, as long as you delete these photos, you won't think about her anymore.

Press it down, press it down.

Bai Shengyun gritted his teeth and pressed the button with a click, deleting the entire folder.

Facing the empty screen, after just a few seconds, Bai Shengyun found it difficult to breathe, and the empty pain in his heart was unbearable.

In less than a minute, all the photos that had just been deleted were restored, dragged out of the Recycle Bin and saved back into the folder.

Bai Shengyun slumped in the chair, calmed down for a moment, then opened the information in a self-torturing manner, looking at the photos of Qin Xiaoxi and the man over and over again.

He must forget Qin Xiaoxi.

He couldn't keep thinking about her.

Bai Shengyun made this decision.

After one month, the disciplinary observation period ends.

Bai Shengyun did not return to the international school, but went to London to study alone, preparing to take exams and apply to an art school.

Bai Shengyun originally thought that he would have Jiang Yanyu as his companion when he came to London, but Jiang Yanyu was unwilling to come back after going to China and only lent him the top floor apartment.

During the years in London, Bai Shengyun would occasionally think of Qin Xiaoxi.

When Bai Shengyun sees the falling ginkgo leaves, he will think of her.

Whenever Bai Shengyun sees a Chinese girl with long hair who is two centimeters shorter than him, he will think of her.

But Bai Shengyun could hold back and not ask about her, because he thought he no longer liked her, because he only liked Qin Xiaoxi's appearance.

Of course, this was just Bai Shengyun's way of comforting himself.

Thanks to Jiang Yanyu's relationship, Bai Shengyun shot blockbuster photos for major magazines when he was in college. The photos were outstanding and artistic, and were praised by many designers.

Soon, the fame of Chinese photographer Mr. White spread back to China, and people in the fashion circle were curious about who he was.

Bai Shengyun never thought about returning to China and continued to stay in London to continue filming. The Bai family was proud to have such a "great artist" in the family and allowed him to do whatever he wanted as long as it didn't break the law.

The fashion circle is extravagant and flashy. Apart from work, Bai Shengyun spends every night drinking and partying, indulging herself in getting drunk and then waking up from the floor.

Lack of exercise, depressed mood and irregular work and rest schedule made Bai Shengyun lose weight, and even the little muscle he had left was gone.

This kind of life continued until the end of college.

Until one day, Bai Shengyun was invited to go to China to take a set of oriental-themed promotional photos for a brand.

The brand found many Chinese models and gave them to Bai Shengyun to choose from, striving to achieve the best possible results in the final film.

Many tall, long-haired female models stood in the studio, each of them was only one or two centimeters shorter than Bai Shengyun, and each of them reminded him of Qin Xiaoxi.

Bai Shengyun originally wanted to give up on the spot, leave directly and hide back in London.

But Bai Shengyun seemed to have a strong premonition in his heart, and his eyes inexplicably looked towards a female model in the crowd, and he couldn't move at all.

That's Qin Xiaoxi.

Just by looking at the back, Bai Shengyun knew that it must be Qin Xiaoxi.

The heartbeat that had been dead for years reappeared, accompanied by a slight pain.

Qin Xiaoxi seemed to notice his gaze, turned around, and looked at him through several models.

Bai Shengyun raised his hand unconsciously, wanting to greet her, but Qin Xiaoxi just nodded at him respectfully and turned away.

Yes.

Qin Xiaoxi didn't know him at all.

He has always liked Qin Xiaoxi unilaterally, and there has never been Bai Shengyun in Qin Xiaoxi's world.

Bai Shengyun put down his hands and clenched his fists. His heart ached terribly, but his face remained expressionless. He followed the steps and selected the models according to the brand's request.

When it was Qin Xiaoxi's turn to present, Bai Shengyun wondered how she had become like this.

It was lifeless and dull, and even the hair revealed sadness and pain. Even when he smiled, it looked like he was crying.

For the first time in his life, Bai Shengyun wanted to hold her back and say, "I have money, and I am more handsome than that man. I can give you what you want."

But this was just Bai Shengyun's fantasy. In reality, he just said expressionlessly: "Thank you, next one."

As expected, Qin Xiaoxi was not selected because her performance ability was too poor and it was impossible for her to be selected.

The shoot took a week.

After the filming, Bai Shengyun did not leave China, but stayed in the hotel and once again did some strange things for some unknown reason.

Relying on his connections, Bai Shengyun mixed into that man's circle and would occasionally meet with those idle young masters, just to see Qin Xiaoxi.

But that man was really too much. He actually brought a different female companion every time. He wanted to beat that man up.

Bai Shengyun felt half heartbroken and half resentful. He hated Qin Xiaoxi for not living up to her expectations and for obeying that man so blindly. But when he thought of Qin Xiaoxi getting hurt, he felt a pain in his heart.

Occasionally, the man would bring Qin Xiaoxi to the party, and Bai Shengyun would laugh loudly, hug his female companion and look over there, trying to attract Qin Xiaoxi's attention.

But Qin Xiaoxi never looked at him. She was just immersed in her own world, not knowing what she was thinking.

Until one day, the man complained at a party and finally abandoned Qin Xiaoxi, saying that Qin Xiaoxi was a bitch who actually accepted the offer to sell her body to a rustic middle-aged man.

When Bai Shengyun heard this, her mind went blank, just like when she was sitting in front of the computer. She wanted to go crazy, scream, and beat the man up.

But Bai Shengyun did nothing, because he was not the impulsive boy he used to be. After the man spoke, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the door without any hesitation.

"Shengyun, what's wrong with you? Where are you going?" someone asked from behind.

Bai Shengyun turned his back to those useless rich second-generation young masters and raised his middle finger, "You guys continue to play, and you don't need to call me out again in the future."

Where is Qin Xiaoxi? He wanted to take Qin Xiaoxi away before anything happened.

Bai Shengyun would no longer worry about whether he liked Qin Xiaoxi's appearance or the fantasy. He only knew that he couldn't stop thinking about Qin Xiaoxi.

Bai Shengyun found out her itinerary and hurried to the island where Qin Xiaoxi was.

While on the plane, Bai Shengyun thought that he would take Qin Xiaoxi away and give her what she wanted, just money, which he had plenty of.

This time, Bai Shengyun still missed it and was one step late, because Qin Xiaoxi had already been rescued by Luo Qinglin.

Bai Shengyun stood at the door of the ward and secretly listened to Qin Xiaoxi's confession with tears in her eyes. She said that she regretted it and that she wanted to serve dishes, make a living on her own, never rely on a man again, and start a new life.

She didn't have to serve dishes. Bai Shengyun thought, even if Qin Xiaoxi wanted to go back to school, he would support her. He would give her as much money as she wanted. He had plenty of money, as long as Qin Xiaoxi could be with him.

"Would you like to be my assistant? My boss's studio is looking for a photography assistant. Are you good at photo editing and are you interested in photography?"

Luo Qinglin said this in the ward, his voice gentle, as if there was a powerful yet gentle force surrounding his body.

“Yes, I like taking pictures.”

Qin Xiaoxi's voice was extremely bright when she answered. It was a happier voice he had never heard before, and it contained a sense of relief after a new life.

Bai Shengyun stood still outside the ward, unable to control the tears that fell silently, crying tears of shame and self-repentance.

Yes.

In fact, he was just like that man, the owner of the winery. He had the mentality of keeping Qin Xiaoxi as his own and had never thought about giving Qin Xiaoxi a real new life.

He had seen Qin Xiaoxi so many times in the past two years. Why was he unwilling to take her away?

That's because he is as despicable as that man. He wants to wait until Qin Xiaoxi is abandoned by that man before showing up. Then Qin Xiaoxi will definitely go with him. He has never thought about letting Qin Xiaoxi become an independent person.

Bai Shengyun fled in panic, hid in the bathroom and cried secretly, secretly cursing herself for being despicable.

After regaining his senses, Bai Shengyun told Jiang Yanyu about everything because he already knew who Luo Qinglin was, and asked Jiang Yanyu what to do now.

"What should we do?" Jiang Yanyu didn't understand what he wanted. "Qin Xiaoxi has found a job, and you still want to kidnap her and raise her like a dodder?"

"I'm not..." Bai Shengyun said unsatisfiedly, "Being a photography assistant is too low-level, and the salary is so low..."

"Low salary..."

Jiang Yanyu sneered after hearing this and asked, "Bai Shengyun, where did the money in your account come from? Did you earn it yourself? Do you want me to calculate for you, which one is more or less, your salary from filming or the money you spent on buying a car?"

"I..." Bai Shengyun was unable to refute. His achievements were only in fame and praise, not a penny in money.

"You have no right to look down on these professions. Not everyone is like you, born with a silver spoon in your mouth and doesn't have to worry about life and money," said Jiang Yanyu.

"Qin Xiaoxi got this job on her own. Whether it was out of pity or something else, you, Bai Shengyun, have no right to look down on her."

At this moment, Bai Shengyun felt truly ashamed.

Jiang Yanyu is much better than him. Even if he is mentally ill and a lunatic, every penny and every brand he has now is earned through his own hard work, just to be able to return to China and be with Luo Qinglin.

And his first shooting opportunity also came thanks to Jiang Yanyu's relationship.

"What should I do now?" Bai Shengyun asked anxiously.

"Keep working, invest and make money, and don't appear in front of her until she truly becomes an independent person," said Jiang Yanyu.

"Then if she is with someone else again, then I..." Bai Shengyun didn't want to continue because he couldn't bear another critical blow.

"She won't," Jiang Yanyu said firmly, "She won't even consider falling in love until she becomes independent."

Just like that, Bai Shengyun became desensitized, taking jobs crazily and investing most of his savings. In the end, he lost everything and had to sell several cars to pay off his debts.

It was Jiang Yanyu who helped him form a team to keep the remaining money.

Bai Shengyun has been waiting, waiting for an opportunity to come, waiting for the time to meet Qin Xiaoxi.
