Chapter 52 Hua Xinfeng's pair of green eyes, from a very close distance and Bai...
The next day, at dawn, Qiao Yixin had already arrived at Aiwa, Karuizawa.
When Qin Aiqiao was awakened, she thought the mother in front of her was just an illusion in a dream, and she rubbed her eyes hard with her fists.
"Mommy! I miss U!"
When she saw who it was, the little girl jumped up instantly and threw herself into Qiao Yixin's arms, leaving aside the awkwardness of the past few days. When they met, she only felt endless longing for her mother.
Qin Yonglian and Bai Ying stood hand in hand, both dressed for their morning run.
"Oh my! Why didn't you wake me up?" Qin Aiqiao murmured shyly, leaning on her mother's shoulder and acting coquettishly.
"I should have recorded your snoring." Bai Ying smiled with her eyes curved.
"Hehe..." The little girl blushed and buried her head in Qiao Yixin's neck.
Unlike his decisive appearance on the catwalk, Qiao Yixin appears approachable in real life.
With a height of 1.78 meters and a capable professional outfit, she exudes a feminine aura.
The mother and daughter had a serious and intimate time, and only then did Qiao Yixin formally greet Bai Ying.
The woman couldn't help but secretly look at the girl in front of her, feeling an indescribable surprise and novelty in her heart.
Last night, her daughter couldn't wait to introduce her new friend to her, and the big news was: this person was also Qin Yonglian's girlfriend.
In her impression, Qin Yonglian still seemed to be that silent and icy boy. It was so strange that the iron tree actually bloomed!
"Yinn, I'm Qiao Yixin, Joyce's mother."
"Hello! My name is Bai Ying, Leon's girlfriend." Bai Ying glanced at Qin Yonglian out of the corner of her eye, and the man's mouth obviously curled up when he heard this.
Qiao Yixin had a sharp eye. Noticing a unique aura about Bai Ying, she asked, "Do you work in the entertainment industry?"
Bai Ying was stunned. She couldn't be sure whether her current job had anything to do with the entertainment industry.
After all, he had just led a filming team as a co-producer to plan and produce a series of documentaries called "Exploring the Secrets of Human Life" that reflected the current status of traditional Chinese cuisine.
Currently, it is recommended on the homepages of various video platforms and has gained great popularity.
"Have you ever considered making your debut?" the other party changed the subject.
Bai Ying didn't follow: "Huh?"
"I have good relationships with several leading agencies, not to mention Xizao Entertainment, which is under the Qin family. They are all looking for new talents with potential."
Bai Ying suddenly realized and declined, "Thank you, I have a career that I love, and I'm not considering changing careers at the moment."
"I know, I like girls like you. I encouraged you to enter the entertainment industry just now, just to piss off Miss Deng who loves dancing." Qiao Yixin smiled and raised her eyebrows to give Qin Yonglian a wink.
She was deeply impressed by the girl's graceful and calm demeanor.
"By the way, does Anson know?" Qiao Yixin asked again.
"You should be the second person to know after Joyce." Qin Yonglian said frankly.
Qiao Yixin was stunned for a moment, then said happily, "Yeah! Not bad, not bad! Leon, I'll keep it a secret for you because I like handsome guys. You're much more handsome than the second son, Qin Yongyi, so I've never disliked you."
Qin Aiqiao didn't understand what her mother meant, and just nodded happily in agreement: "Leon is the most handsome boy in our family, I agree."
Qin Yonglian helplessly spread his hands: "I think the only thing I can say is: thank you?"
Qiao Yixin laughed heartily, "You are ten thousand times funnier than Anson."
At this time, the secretary came in and politely reminded the boss that the next trip was imminent.
Qiao Yixin nodded slightly and signaled his assistant to come in and quickly pack Qin Aiqiao's luggage.
After a quick wash, Qin Aiqiao asked Bai Ying to braid her hair in the same style before reluctantly getting up and leaving.
The spacious hotel lobby was extremely quiet, with no passengers coming and going early in the morning.
Qiao Yixin and Qin Yonglian walked in front, both of them exuding a refined and calm demeanor.
"People say I'm willing to give birth at an advanced age just to give birth to a son and compete with you for your inheritance. If I say that's not the case, would you believe me?"
The woman's high heels made a crisp sound as they stepped on the marble floor.
Qin Yonglian was staring at the scenery outside the window, smiling indifferently without commenting.
"Since I was little, watching you grow up, I have always hoped that my daughter would not be lonely. She must have a brother of her own blood to rely on."
Qiao Yixin muttered to herself and paused, "I didn't expect Joyce to like you. She treats you as her own brother. You two are very compatible."
"In terms of blood relationship, out of 2.1 million different gene sequences, she and I share 25% of the same DNA. She is indeed my biological sister."
Qin Yonglian turned his head to look at the girls who were walking hand in hand not far away. There was no emotion in his voice. "Joyce and I are not only destined to be together, but I also have the responsibility and right to love her."
A barely perceptible smile flashed across Qiao Yixin's face, and then she waved to her daughter happily: "Come here, baby!"
"I just had someone give the freshly baked bento to the driver. It has your favorite takoyaki in it. Remember to have breakfast later." Qin Yonglian gently instructed the little girl.
"Hmm..." Qin Aiqiao was still clinging to Bai Ying. He kissed the girl's cheek hard and said goodbye in a choked voice.
The dark black Mercedes-Benz slowly drove out of sight. Bai Ying then looked up at Qin Yonglian and tugged at his hand. "What did you just say?"
"Um?"
"Why do you have such a constant smile on your face?" Bai Ying recalled her conversation with Qiao Yixin. What on earth could have made Qin Yonglian so happy? He was laughing so hard that he could barely see.
"It's describing the fashion trends in Asia next year." Qin Yonglian's eyes were deep, and a narrow smile flashed across his face for a moment.
"I don't believe it." The girl put her arms around the man's waist and followed his gaze, "Tell me now!"
"Oh? Are you the one who can share happiness with me?" Qin Yonglian turned his eyes to look at her, pretending to be profound.
"Of course! We are each other's best friends in life!" Bai Ying said as she jumped.
"Oh, my happiness is very simple. I'm having a celebration party in my heart: the light bulb is gone, and I can finally be alone with you."
After he finished speaking, the good friend who had just declared that he and Qin Yonglian were "best friends" ran back like a little rabbit after hearing the words.
The man seemed to have anticipated this. He stretched out his big hand and easily pulled back his girlfriend who was trying to escape, and brought her back to his nest sweetly.
*** ***
Qin Aiqiao was not at home, so Qin Yonglian returned to the room and began to undress. He didn't even wear a bathrobe, but only loosely covered his lower body with a bath towel.
With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, her perfect inverted triangle figure is clearly revealed.
Last week, he went camping on South Cowes Island without sunscreen, and his skin, after being exposed to the sea water and the sun, is now a perfect tan.
Even after seeing it many times, Bai Ying couldn't help but feel a burning sensation on her face. She didn't even need to touch her face to know that it was definitely hotter than the hot spring eggs rolling in the hot spring water.
Qin Yonglian knew that his girlfriend was just a paper tiger under normal circumstances, so the more critical the moment, the more he had to stay calm and act as a guide.
The man quietly entered the pool first. The curling water vapor rose from the surface of the pool, and his figure was looming, which made people unable to take their eyes off him.
Bai Ying changed into a snow-white bathrobe. She had a slim figure to begin with, and the bathrobe belt was simply tied into a bow, which made her waist look thin.
He poured a glass of water and came to the hot spring pool. Without getting in the water, he bent his knees, held his chin in his hand, and squatted aside to admire the meditating David in the water.
Qin David Yonglian raised his chin, closed his eyes and rested, looking as if he was ready for you to watch and pick as you please.
Surrounded by mist, Qin Yonglian's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, which gradually gathered at the corners of his forehead. A few beads of sweat flashed with tiny light and passed away along his angular profile.
After a while, the man's lazy voice came: "Does it look good?"
Bai Ying's wandering thoughts were brought back to her senses, and she said firmly, "It looks beautiful, like an immortal bathing in the Tianchi Lake."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xianjun curled his lips slightly, sat up straight from the pool, and with a puff of mist, slowly moved to the edge of the pool and drank a sip of water.
The heat of the pool water caused a blush to appear on his already fair face, and his lips, which had been soaked in water, looked even more tender and tempting.
Bai Ying couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Oh my god! How did this immediately switch to a parent-guidance-level scene?
In a trance, the man had stood up and walked in front of her. He reached out and grabbed the belt of Bai Ying's bathrobe. With just a pull, the bathrobe flew several meters away as if it had wings.
At the same time, in a flash, he stretched out his long arms, wrapped his arms around the girl's slender waist, and brought her straight to his side.
"ah!"
There was a scream and water splashed everywhere.
Bai Ying was caught off guard, and by the time she realized what was happening, they were already in the hot water. The water wasn't hot, but it made her sweat uncontrollably.
Qin Yonglian's triumphant chuckle echoed in his ears. The man lowered his voice and quipped, "Oh, is it my embrace that's warmer? Or is it this spring water?"
"Qin! Yong! Lian! You broke the rules again."
Bai Ying turned around and hooked her arms around his neck, "You know what? Some people now look like the incompetent emperors in ancient costume dramas."
"If the target is my beloved concubine, I am willing to try and have the king stop attending court early in the morning."
Bai Ying: “…”
Mr. Qin even took the initiative to act.
Well, love really makes people willing to indulge in it. Who doesn’t like to listen to their lover hugging them and saying sweet words that will never make them tired?
She really likes it!
The two of them pressed their skin against each other, hugging each other silently, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility from inside out.
A gentle breeze blew by, rustling the leaves.
The man dipped his finger in water and wrote a few words in Japanese by the pool.
Curious, Bai Ying poked her head out to see what you were writing.
"Ka shi kou fu u①," Qin Yonglian read aloud, "The flower-signaling wind, the wind that announces the blooming of flowers in late spring and early summer."
The moment he fell into the water, accompanied by a gust of wind, this word kept spinning in Qin Yonglian's mind, and the wind brought the most beautiful flowers in the world into his arms.
"It's really nice, it sounds like a song. Do you have any more?"
"Well, of course. This word is also very beautiful in Japanese." Qin Yonglian gently grabbed Bai Ying's wrist and wrote on her palm.
The man lowered his head, and his pair of green eyes looked at Bai Ying from a very close distance.
Bai Ying said softly, "Leon, read it to me."
"A ou ka ei de②, Qing Feng, means holding hands."
The two of them simultaneously gazed at the maple tree not far from the pond. Its leaves were green in the summer and turned red in the fall. The palm-shaped leaves resembled human hands, and the layers of leaves seemed to be holding hands.
Bai Ying snuggled up to Qin Yonglian, with her little hands hidden in his palms, as if she was leaning on the whole world.
*** ***
After taking a break from his busy schedule in Japan for two days, Qin Yonglian accompanied Bai Ying back to Hong Kong. He did not leave the airport himself and prepared to transfer directly to Chongqing.
Zhenyan has rotated from the North China market to the Southwest market, which is also the battlefield he wants to consolidate next.
Just as she returned to her villa mid-mountain and put down her luggage, Bai Ying received a call from her close friend Zhenzhu. As soon as the call went through, she asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"
"Alive! How about you?" Bai Ying asked.
“Alive!”
Upon receiving the good news that each other had survived, the two best friends laughed in unison.
Both of them have encountered some troubles recently. Bai Ying planned to contact Zhenzhu when she returned from Japan, but she didn't expect Zhenzhu to get there before her.
"Zhenzhu, I understand everything you want to say. What you have to face now is even more difficult, so conserve your energy and we will work together."
Zhenzhu was also disappointed when she heard this and sighed softly, "My case will take a long time to collect evidence and go through several expert discussions. It's a long battle."
As a jewelry designer, she encountered the biggest crisis in her career. Her design manuscripts were maliciously stolen, and someone falsely accused Zhenzhu of violating professional ethics.
This society has complicated rules of the game. Zhenzhu cannot live up to the principle of "a person with integrity is not afraid of his own shadow". She is forced to quit her job and can only wait for delayed justice③.
"I have sorted out our previous chat records. You have talked about your inspiration and showed me the first draft. These can be used as evidence in court." Bai Ying comforted her seriously.
"Yeah," Zhenzhu muttered, "I received your email. It's clearly a trap. I foresaw that someone would falsely accuse you of staging your statement."
Bai Ying held the phone between her shoulders. "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. But I can't give up no matter what. What else can I do for you? Just tell me."
"Don't worry, Yingying, I won't give up on the road to defending my rights. Let time prove everything. Justice may be late, but it will definitely come."
Thinking of the difficult challenges Bai Ying was also facing, Zhenzhu suggested, "Yingying, you could hire some online trolls to suppress the negative comments. It's obvious that those with jealous eyes are deliberately misleading public opinion."
"Zhenzhu, all the comment sections involving this matter are filled with chaos and incompetence. I don't want to take up too much public resources. Besides, the audience is watching the show and they have their own judgment."
This was the first time in Bai Ying's life that she transformed into a short video program. The "Exploring the Secrets of Human Fireworks" series initially developed smoothly, but overnight one day, a large number of negative reviews followed.
Usually, she is like a movie director who likes to lurk in the cinema to watch the audience's reactions, listening to different voices in the comment section and recording thoughtful suggestions.
But the overwhelming tsunami of bad reviews still stunned her. Before she could take any countermeasures, she was labeled as a "cross-border drama queen".
Some objective viewers spoke up for the program and the director, but were accused of being the program team's fake accounts trying to whitewash the program.
Bai Ying understood. The work wasn't actually negative; it was others who were negatively impacting her work. Taking things out of context, making malicious assumptions, and personally attacking all the staff members of the program had left her furious.
With a strong heart that she had lived with for 20 years, she had always believed she could handle a lot of pressure. But faced with this sudden and "unwarranted" burden, she hesitated.
At that time, Qin Yonglian and her family were thousands of miles away, and she did not want to distract her family and friends from her affairs.
So I thought calmly alone for a night, read through all the information and works, and confirmed again that my values were correct. Then I made up my mind not to read any more comments.
She only needs to strictly check every frame of the work on the shelves and make the "conscientious presentation" that she believes in. She has tried her best and been serious about it, so even if there are regrets, she has no regrets.
It is their freedom of speech for others to point at her name and mock her by saying "this person is useless and clueless".
She has a clear mind and knows who she is and her own strengths and weaknesses. She will never become like that because of such remarks.
Bai Ying didn't hide anything and wanted to say "I don't care" casually, but she couldn't open her mouth.
She is also a human being, and her heart is made of flesh and blood, so she can feel pain and discomfort.
The two girls were thinking about their own things and fell silent for a while.
After a while, Zhenzhu laughed at herself, "Oh, maybe it's really like what they say online, that being misunderstood is the fate of those who express themselves."
"I've heard that," Bai Ying walked to the balcony and took a deep breath:
"No matter what you choose to do, you must accept all possible situations. However, the original intention and passion for creation will always be with you, and no one can take it away. Being misunderstood may be the fate of those who express themselves, but I just hope that this will never become a shackle for creators."
"Zhenzhu, grandma taught me that people should learn to immediately distance themselves from things that consume them. This doesn't mean escapism, but rather a form of wisdom. Since there's nothing I can do right now, why not give myself a break and rest?"
Because we understand the night, we are happy for the arrival of the morning④.
"Today is another day of chicken soup full of positive energy. I'll drink first to show my respect." Zhenzhu laughed heartily, "Let's cheer together!"
After hanging up the phone, Bai Ying felt happy and leaned on the edge of the balcony to overlook the small garden at home.
Qin Yonglian always creates a garden full of stories. Every flower, every blade of grass, and every grain of sand here has received his careful care.
Bai Ying looked at the warm comfort in her eyes, feeling a little emotional. She had always been stubborn, always determined to face challenges head-on. Even if her confidence was temporarily exhausted, she could quickly recover.
When you grow up, you should learn to face difficulties bravely and solve them actively.
Bai Ying's heart was warmed by Zhenzhu's comforting phone call.
"When you feel tired, go to the garden for a while to recharge and restore your energy." The girl clenched her fists and encouraged herself.
Just as I was about to go downstairs, my cell phone rang again. The ringtone sounded particularly harsh in the empty villa.
"Leon? Landing so soon?"
"I'm not flying. I'm on my way to the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital. I'll be very busy these next few days, so I'm letting you know in advance."
Qin Yonglian's voice sounded extremely tired. "Qin Ansen had a stroke and is still being treated."
Bai Ying's eyes widened, she never expected it to be like this.
The girl's palms were slightly sweaty, and her gaze paused in the distance: it was clearly summer, but she saw a withered yellow leaf in the air, which met the wind and lightly fell to the ground.

The author has something to say: [Notes]
①②The Japanese romanizations of Hua Xinfeng and Qingfeng are translated by the author himself. The language genius Mr. Qin is busy with love and career and is nowhere to be seen. Please correct any mistakes.
③Zhenzhu has made guest appearances in several articles. She is a jewelry designer and also a lively young lady.
Her story is in the upcoming new article "I'm Super Clam", in which she and orthopedic surgeon Yu Baixi study "How Contemporary Social Animals Can Maintain Health and Find Love".
It is still a sweet story, with occasional funny parts. The author doesn't write much about political intrigues. It's a two-dimensional love story, and the two of them are so sweet together!
④This sentence comes from Satoshi Kuramoto's "Back to the Origin of Life".
The original sentence is: "Because we understand war, we cherish peace; because we understand the night, we are happy for the arrival of morning; because we understand darkness, we are delighted by light; because we understand darkness, we are grateful for the light."
What a great attitude towards life! Share this with my little cutie! Thank you for your gentle encouragement all the time.
