Chapter 49 I miss you so much that I feel like I want to kiss Bai Ying’s soul out…
In the quiet corner of the yard, in the shadow of the light, the young man's hawk-like eyes reflected a sharp light.
Bai Ying's figure appeared above the young man's head. The girl screamed "Ah!" and was lifted up high by the man. Her hands and feet were restrained by the force and she could not move.
The man was tall and straight, and with his long arms, Bai Ying was very dangerous in mid-air.
Qin Yonglian shuddered, and his heart seemed to be pulled up at the same time.
He disregarded everything and ran towards Bai Ying at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, then kicked the man to snatch Bai Ying away.
The man seemed to have anticipated this, and even though he was carrying a person on his hands, he nimbly turned and dodged.
He quickly moved to a distance where Qin Yonglian couldn't reach him, and threw Bai Ying to the ground without mercy.
“Oh!”
Qin Yonglian's eyes were red and he shouted with all his might.
When Bai Ying fell less than two inches from the ground, she was suddenly lifted up by the young man.
The girl used her hands to cleverly turn her body around and suddenly stood up straight.
All the actions are smooth and happen in a flash.
Su Jiahao suddenly remembered seeing a Cirque du Soleil acrobatic show in Las Vegas and sighed inwardly: This lively and lovely junior high school girl is so hidden. For the nth time that day, his impression of her has been refreshed. Women are truly amazing!
The incandescent night light shone directly on the ground, and the mottled light and shadow were mixed with the giggling laughter of a spoiled girl.
Bai Yingxian laughed first, clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you, thank you."
Qin Yonglian was still in shock. He quickly stood between the two of them, picked up Bai Ying, and held her possessively in his arms.
He stepped back to a safe distance before looking directly at the young man in front of him.
"You've gained a lot of weight. Have you been so busy eating that you forgot to practice?"
The man's cold gaze had long since disappeared, and when he looked at the girl again, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
"No way! It was obviously you who moved faster. You broke my attack with the third move." Bai Ying snuggled in Qin Yonglian's arms, her chest rising and falling noticeably, and she was still gasping for breath.
After listening to a few lines of dialogue, several human-shaped statues were left standing in the yard, and there was silence for a while.
"I forgot to introduce him. He's my cousin, Bai Ying. We have the same name and pronunciation. He's the Ying from old eagle, and I'm the Ying from Yingying mountain bird."
"Bai Ying?" Everyone looked at each other.
Is it really that exaggerated when cousins meet? The only thing left in the greeting is the first "da".
Su Jiahao suddenly felt that his elder brother was a good person. He usually just bluffed towards him and only took action against him a few times.
Zhen Yan suddenly realized, "So, the sound I heard this evening was actually Bai Ying?"
Bai Ying nodded slightly and looked at Bai Ying, who took the opportunity to cling to her boyfriend, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Bai Ying uttered "Oh", and the volume dropped by ten decibels. He then got down to the ground and stood at attention.
Qin Yonglian thought for a moment, quickly sorted out the situation, turned around and asked, "Why are you here too?"
Su Jiahao took out the conference pass from his pocket and waved it casually in the air.
Bai Yingze said, "I said we all met by chance. Do you believe this probability?"
Qin Yonglian raised his hand and gently scratched the tip of the girl's nose. Then he approached and greeted Bai Ying calmly, "Hello, I'm Yingying's boyfriend, Qin Yonglian."
"We met this afternoon." Bai Ying had a deep memory of those green eyes.
The two tall men had glanced at each other briefly before, but when they looked closely this time, they could see an unusual demeanor between each other's brows, the aura of a superior that they were familiar with.
Although Bai Ying's facial features are deep and cold, he is only three years older than Bai Ying. His face is more childish than his eyes, and he looks clear and handsome.
"Little Eagle, are you here for a mission?" The girl's soft nickname for her cousin instantly melted the man's icy shell.
The cry of "Little Eagle" made Bai Ying's face turn black. A trace of hesitation rarely appeared on his face. His tone was somewhat helpless and indulgent, "嘤嘤......"
This time, Qin Yonglian finally understood the source of that familiar feeling. Bai Ying's face was very similar to Bai Xuan's, especially his eyes, and his undisguised love for Bai Ying.
The Bai family is a military family, and all the men in the family have joined the army.
Bai Xuan's nephew is called Xiao Huzi. He joined the army in the late 1970s and joined the special forces. Now he is a person with two gold stars on his shoulders.
And this Bai Ying is the son of "Uncle Xiaohuzi" that Bai Ying often talks about.
Zhenyan watched the whole process from the side, waved his hand to send away the security guards who came over after hearing the noise, and then found it interesting, so he asked everyone to sit down and talk in detail.
Bai Ying smiled, then shook his head and declined. "I'm here for a meeting. The mission is over, so I have to return to base immediately."
"Can't you stay a little longer? You didn't come back for the New Year this year." Bai Ying showed obvious reluctance, "The last time we spoke on the phone was three months ago."
"Aren't we meeting now? And you've met your boyfriend too." Bai Ying's tone was filled with doting.
"You showed some good skills just now." Bai Ying was referring to the mid-air kick that Qin Yonglian tried to use to attack him. Just by looking at the moves, one could tell that he was an expert.
"Yong Lian, we can have a sparring match sometime."
Before Qin Yonglian could even open his mouth to agree, the girl spoke up, "Little Eagle, you've been the Special Operations Brigade's fighting champion every year. The army is supposed to protect the people, so how can they fight with ordinary people?"
As he said this, he stepped forward and pinched Bai Ying's biceps hard as a warning, but the muscles were too tight, so he had to pat them with his hands instead.
Ordinary people? The tall man was half a head taller than Bai Ying.
Su Jiahao, who frequently goes to the Sanda gym, feels a reflexive pain in his shoulder. He thinks, "Our Leon is not ordinary at all, okay?"
Bai Ying laughed and folded his arms leisurely, "Oh? What if it's a competition between my brother-in-law and my future brother-in-law?"
"I'm at your service anytime." Qin Yonglian said.
Bai Ying nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Bai Ying, "Yingying, although you are the treasure of our family, remember not to bully others just by relying on your fists and feet."
The man knew that his cousin had been a clever little girl who would tear down the roof if she was not disciplined.
Bai Ying pouted and was about to explain when she saw a young man making a gesture to Bai Ying from a distance.
"I have to leave immediately. Yingying, let's contact each other again."
Bai Ying gently touched Bai Ying's head, rolled up his sleeves, and carefully tucked her hair behind her ears.
Bai Ying made contact with everyone and disappeared without a trace.
A thrilling meeting quickly disappeared into the night with the hurried backs of several figures.
There were only four people left, and Qin Yonglian looked at Bai Ying seriously.
"I'm not hurt! We used to play like this when we were kids." The girl understood and quickly raised her hands, jumping a few times on the spot.
"My previous opponent was Uncle Little Tiger. He was even more powerful and would often throw Little Eagle and me into the winter mud, which is much harder than this concrete floor."
"Yeah!" Qin Yonglian raised his chin, retracted his gaze, and walked straight to the administrative building next door.
Zhen Yan stopped Su Jiahao who wanted to follow him with his hand, "It's just right that you're here, come with me for a drink."
"You don't usually drink." Su Jiahao muttered.
"You also know that it's not the usual time now." Zhen Yan looked at him indifferently, with an expression that said, "What's the use of you, a big light bulb?"
Su Jiahao blinked and said loudly, "That's right! I want to go drink alone with Director Zhen now, alone!"
"Let's go, stop talking nonsense." Zhen Yan put his hands behind his back and walked away slowly.
"Hey!" Su Jiahao turned around to look for the couple, but they had already gone out of his sight.
*** ***
Bai Ying followed Qin Yonglian obediently, secretly watching her boyfriend's expression change as she walked.
She felt that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong, and the carefully prepared surprise seemed to have turned into a shock.
Bai Ying's appearance made her so happy that she almost lost control. Since they were little, the first thing they did when they met was wrestling. Bai Ying never used all her strength. Even if she did fall, she knew which position would be the safest to land in.
After thinking about it, she didn't consider how terrifying this situation would be for Qin Yonglian.
The two entered the elevator. Qin Yonglian's eyes were deep. He pressed the elevator button and then said nothing.
"Um..." Bai Ying cleared her throat. "I was video chatting with Coffee during dinner, and the veterinarian praised him for being so well behaved."
In order to prevent her son from discovering something when Qin Yonglian asked to see the cat during a video call with her, she sent the kitten to a familiar pet hospital for a routine health check before leaving.
"Hmm!" Qin Yonglian mechanically repeated the lines he had said a few minutes ago.
"Ka-ho was there at the time. He saw Coffee had become fatter, a round, brown ball. He asked if it was a fox or a cat, and even called it Fat Fox Ah-meow. Coffee was so angry that he scratched the screen."
Bai Ying turned sideways, bringing the two of them closer.
The elevator door opened, Qin Yonglian raised his leg and walked out, and his girlfriend followed him in small steps.
The corridor was so quiet that only the breathing of two people could be heard, one in front and one behind.
Seeing that her boyfriend didn't react much, the girl nudged him lightly with her elbow and begged for mercy in a low voice: "Meow~Meow~"
Suddenly the world spun around and her whole body flew into the air again. This time she was greeted with a somewhat rough princess hug.
As soon as they got to a place where there was no one, Qin Yonglian picked up Bai Ying and carried her horizontally, striding towards his room.
He had tried hard to remain calm and silent the whole time, but in fact his heart was already filled with pink clouds, stirred into a ball of sweet marshmallow.
With the sound of the room card, the girl felt a familiar warmth on her cheeks and neck, and her breath was even hotter.
The two people's hearts were beating wildly.
Bai Ying shrank unconsciously, attracting a more intense attack from the beast. Good fellow, is it so ferocious once it returns to its own territory?
She had no choice but to tilt her neck back, stretch out her hands, and tightly hold the other person's waist, hugging Qin Yonglian tighter.
"Leon? Are you not angry anymore?" someone asked cautiously.
"Um?"
"Why is it the same answer? This is the only word you said to me when we met today. Um..."
"Yingying, you have to concentrate!" There was an imperceptible hoarseness in the usually calm voice, with a subtle electric feeling.
All the emotions of reunion after a long separation were melted into sighs of satisfaction.
*** ***
The night was dim, and the hazy moonlight stopped by the window. There was no light in the room, as if that was the dividing line between the world and heaven.
When Bai Ying opened her eyes, she saw the messy clothes thrown on the ground. Recalling the battle situation just now when Jiangjiang Nianniang almost broke through the line of fire, she felt awkward and couldn't help covering her face. She wanted to bury her head in her chest.
Qin Yonglian snuggled up to her like a big dog, rubbing her into his arms and asked, "What happened next?"
"What happened later?" Bai Ying nestled obediently in the tall man's arms.
Qin Yonglian said "Fat fox Amiao", and imagined Coffee's round appearance, and couldn't help laughing.
Someone finally remembered his cat son who was far away in Hong Kong Island.
"Later, of course, I had to personally coax it and ask it who it was. It said it was our delicious coffee! Only then did the little plush stop whimpering and scratching the screen."
A blush appeared on the girl's face after being moisturized. She turned over and hugged Qin Yonglian back, "My son needs to be coaxed, and so does his father."
Qin Yonglian rubbed Bai Ying's forehead with his chin.
"Leon, you didn't say a word just now. I was so scared that I thought you were angry."
"I'm not angry with you, I'm just angry with myself because I found that there are many things I can't do."
After calming down, Qin Yonglian expressed his concerns in a soft voice.
What if he didn't catch Bai Ying, what if she really fell down, every what-if made him scared.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through and scared you." Bai Ying apologized sincerely.
"Hmm, this trip has given me a lot of feelings. The world before was too small, and I was just sitting in a well and looking at the sky."
"Your saying about reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles has begun to give me a different perspective. When I chat with different people, we not only talk about business models and corporate operations, but also about a tree by the roadside and a sip of tea. In their eyes, I am no longer a CEO, or even Qin Yonglian."
The man said, and smiled. At this moment, he seemed like a child who had returned home from kindergarten. He couldn't help but count on his fingers and tell her his thoughts one by one.
"Once you step outside your established circle, you'll discover the world is infinite. Topics you hear are no longer about stocks and funds, hot styles, or fashion trends, nor are they simply about profit and returns. Oh, oh, I'm thinking about greater social responsibility."
This period of time spent alone was particularly new to Qin Yonglian.
For as long as he can remember, he has passively and defensively worn a mask and played various roles. Now he is wondering, who is he really and what kind of person can he be?
He used to only think about ensuring that this position was returned intact to others, but now, as he discovered that he could do more and faced greater challenges, many things appeared that were beyond his previous cognition.
The omnipotent academic master Qin Yonglian also encountered unpredictable problems.
"Leon, let me ask you a question: China's eight major cuisines are Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Anhui cuisine. Why is there no Northeastern cuisine?"
"From the perspective of historical development, Northeastern cuisine should be considered a branch of Shandong cuisine. The Northeast region has been vast and sparsely populated since ancient times. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that a large number of immigrants moved in." Student Qin answered seriously.
"That's right, let's look at it from another angle. Northeastern cuisine is rich, and many famous dishes are stewed in one pot. Among the common side dishes, potatoes, tofu, and pickled vegetables are all supporting roles... they are not the main characters. But it is precisely their existence that enriches the layering of the dishes, making each dish a king in its own right. Leon, you don't have to carry it all alone."
In the twilight, the girl's pupils are crystal clear and playful and shining.
"I understand. It means rolling dried tofu with green onions, and you will succeed in everything you do!" Qin Yonglian replied with a smile. This was what Zhenyan taught him.
Bai Ying was stunned when he heard this, then he looked up and laughed, "Brother, you really understand!"
"That's not a flaw, it's that you're no longer in a dream. Leon, I'm so happy for you. You used to be a celestial being, but now you've become much more humane. As long as you keep your feet on the ground, every improvement you make will be a huge step forward."
"Oh no, you should be the apple in the Garden of Eden. I'm waiting for you under the tree." Bai Ying hugged Qin Yonglian, her face pressed against his arm, "Awoo, take a bite."
Qin Yonglian's ears turned red. "Then take a bite. Does it taste like human kindness? Or apple?"
Bai Ying held up the other person's face, kissed him carefully, and concluded, "Smells good!"
"My grandma taught me that there are three things no one can take away from you: the delicious food in your stomach, the dreams in your mind, and the love in your heart."
The girl told her boyfriend that these were all his wealth.
Qin Yonglian grabbed her hand and kissed it, saying seriously, "Oh, I miss you so much."
These 40 days of separation were more difficult than the first half of his lonely life.
The man buried his face deeply in her shoulders and neck and kissed her very gently, their breaths blending together, as if he wanted to kiss out Bai Ying's soul.
The small orange light at the head of the bed lit up, and after a passionate kiss, the girl in his arms blushed deeply, and she was as soft and sticky as a little animal, crying out for thirst.
Qin Yonglian stood up and took the mug from the bedside table. Bai Yingxiao took a sip of water and asked, "Dandelion?"
"I picked them by the roadside while taking a walk last week. I soaked them in water and drank them to clear away heat and detoxify, nourish the liver and improve eyesight. Zhenyan didn't believe it at first and used the AI image recognition on his phone to identify them for a long time."
Bai Ying then took another sip to confirm, "Wow! It really is!"
"My girlfriend is the best. She can tell the difference in one bite."
The girl who was praised had her eyes curved with happiness. The lines of her eyes were beautiful, and a smile overflowed from the curve of her eyes. She was in high spirits and had a different kind of gentleness.
Qin Yonglian was attracted by her lively expression, his lips slightly pursed, and his eyebrows unconsciously relaxed a little.
He felt that none of his secrets or worries could escape these beautiful eyes.
The two looked at each other quietly, neither of them hiding the love in their eyes.
"We agreed to meet in the summer, Leon, and I'm here to pick you up now." Bai Ying said with a smile.
