They left before evening self-study was over, having already graduated.
Teaching assistants can choose to watch the class or not; Bai Ye watched one class and then planned to leave.
On his way back, he received some unexpected news.
Rival (Gu Yanzhi): Can you come to the Forget-Me-Not Bar to pick up Yu Yan? She's drunk.
Bai Ye was stunned. "Brother, didn't you know I broke up with her?"
Bai Ye's expression was complicated.
Unlike typical love rivals, Gu Yanzhi is a very upright person. He has rejected Yao Yuyan many times and stated frankly that he doesn't like her and doesn't want to have any ambiguous relationship with her like a scumbag.
Bai Ye added him by chance, and then Gu Yanzhi gave him advice on how to pursue Yao Yuyan.
The world is a strange place; two people who should have been rivals in love have become pretty good friends.
Bai Ye: Why don't you just take her home? We've already broken up, it's better to keep some distance.
Gu Yanzhi: ...My girlfriend is right next to me, do you think I dare to take her home?
Bai Ye: ? ? ? You're in a relationship?
Gu Yanzhi: Yes, we haven't been together for very long.
Bai Ye: You didn't just pick someone randomly to reject Yu Yan, did you?
Gu Yanzhi: ...
Gu Yanzhi: I wouldn't do something like that. I either like what I like or I don't like what I don't like. I can tell the difference between what I like and what I don't like.
Gu Yanzhi: This time it was because I fell in love, and at the same time I wanted Yuyan to give up, that's why I asked her out. But... she seems to have a hard time accepting it, and she won't listen to any of my attempts to persuade her to drink.
Bai Ye: So you came to me? You came to her best friends? Where am I, a grown man, supposed to take her?
Gu Yanzhi rolled his eyes helplessly. "I found you such a good opportunity, why can't you use it?"
To be honest, he thought Bai Ye was a pretty innocent and easy-going guy, and he felt very reassured entrusting Yao Yuyan, whom he had known for many years and who was practically like a younger sister, to him.
But why doesn't his own sister understand? He has always treated her like a younger sister and has never had any romantic feelings for her.
He brought his girlfriend today to make her give up completely, but Yao Yuyan was already in a bad mood, and then this further provoked her...
Gu Yanzhi: I don't have her best friend's contact information.
Gu Yanzhi: Come quick! My girlfriend is urging me to leave, and I don't feel comfortable leaving her here. You're the only person I can trust!
Bai Ye's lips twitched; why did those words sound so cheesy?
Bai Ye: Okay, don't leave yet, I'll be right there.
Gu Yanzhi put down his phone, looked at the two drunk women in front of him who were talking nonsense, and sighed helplessly.
The story about his girlfriend urging him to leave is just a fabrication. They were both drunk; how could she urge him to leave?
He had to carry his girlfriend home, but he wasn't comfortable leaving Yao Yuyan there, so he needed to find someone he knew well.
Bai Ye became his first choice because the hairpin Yao Yuyan was wearing today caught his attention. He even asked her about it while she was drunk, and after learning that it was Bai Ye, Gu Yanzhi smiled with some relief.
As his childhood sweetheart, he knew very well that if Yao Yuyan really didn't care about Bai Ye at all, she would never accept his things, let alone wear them.
Although the two broke up, Yao Yuyan clearly still cared about it.
After all, he knew that Yao Yuyan was pretending to be his boyfriend in order to spite him.
So during this time, he helped Bai Ye get to know her, all in order to bring the two of them together.
But despite his best efforts, he failed, and the two still broke up.
God has no idea how much he cares about this!
Even at midnight, they were secretly planning their relationship and trying to find a way to get them together.
Without a doubt, he was quite qualified as a strategist.
...
Bai Ye arrived at Qingba.
Seeing Bai Ye approach, Gu Yanzhi quickly greeted him.
As Bai Ye walked over, she saw Gu Yanzhi carrying another woman on his back.
Gu Yanzhi gave Bai Ye an encouraging look: "I'll leave this to you. I'll take my girlfriend home first."
"You..." Gu Yanzhi walked away before he could finish speaking.
Bai Ye had no choice but to swallow the words she wanted to say.
Looking at Yao Yuyan, who was drunk and slumped over the table.
Drunk, she was very unruly, muttering indistinct words: "Don't... go."
It probably meant "Don't go," and it was said to Gu Yanzhi. Bai Ye had already learned to translate automatically.
Bai Ye had a headache; the first thing he needed to do was figure out where to take her.
He can forget about getting into the school; he can't get in, and he doesn't have his roommate's contact information.
So the only option was to take her back to her home.
Her home is in a small villa nearby. When they were pretending to be a couple, her father found out. Unlike most people, her parents are very open-minded and do not oppose their daughter dating. In fact, they are very supportive.
They invited Bai Ye to their home, which made Bai Ye very embarrassed, since he was just pretending to be her boyfriend.
...
Bai Ye was unsure how to proceed.
He reached out and touched Yao Yuyan's slender waist, then lifted her to her seat and left the table.
Then he squatted down, wrapped her arms around his neck, held her legs with both hands, pressed them against his back, and gently carried her on his back.
It can only be said that she is already very familiar with the process. Yao Yuyan has gotten drunk many times, mostly because of Gu Yanzhi, and Bai Ye has dealt with the aftermath countless times.
Bai Ye went to the bar, asked about the bill, and after learning that Gu Yanzhi had already paid, left the bar.
At this moment, Yao Yuyan on his back started to get a little restless. Her little mouth was pressed against Bai Ye's ear at some point, and she gently blew on it.
Bai Ye subconsciously tightened his neck and turned to look at Yao Yuyan, wondering what she was up to.
Yao Yuyan has a low alcohol tolerance, but she always drinks a lot of alcohol without thinking.
The next second, she suddenly hugged Bai Ye tightly. Bai Ye panicked. If he wasn't mistaken, she was going to...
Yao Yuyan quickly regained her composure, lying on Bai Ye's back with her eyes closed.
Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she would throw up all over him as before.
Bai Ye felt he should give her a good reminder. If someone takes care of her, she's fine, but if she encounters a stranger, she might get taken advantage of.
Moreover… he and she had already broken up, so it was best to avoid any further contact. Bai Ye was afraid that his heart, which had finally calmed down, would be stirred up again.
Bai Ye was well aware of the destructive power of his "white moonlight," and he would always suddenly think of it in the middle of the night, then quietly hide on the balcony and smoke a cigarette.
After saying all that, Bai Ye still couldn't forget her, but he no longer had the courage to pursue her again.
A year of pursuit, a year of hope, a year of perseverance, but nothing can compare to the childhood sweetheart with whom you spend every day.
When he was with her, his once brave heart was already riddled with wounds, and he had become afraid of meeting her.
He had originally intended to refuse Gu Yanzhi's request, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
The moon isn't very full tonight, and there are only a few stars; the moon hangs alone in the sky.
How exactly can I let go?
Bai Ye couldn't help but ask himself these questions.
But no answer was found for a long time.
