Chapter 71 Waiting
Gentle wind, swaying leaves.
The handsome young man sat on the tree trunk, dozing with his eyes closed.
He boarded the plane, sent the message, and returned to his hometown, where he found the tree where he had sat waiting for Zhou Yuncheng to come back and pick him up.
More than ten years passed, and he sat on the tree again.
This time, he seemed to have a dream. In the dream, it was not Zhou Yuncheng, but a young girl wrapped in a black down jacket, walking towards him step by step.
This dream is beautiful and realistic.
Realistic enough——
The familiar footsteps seemed to be right in front of me.
Bai Yuqing's heart trembled suddenly and he opened his eyes.
When he saw the scene clearly, his pupils dilated and his heartbeat became more and more intense.
Where is the dream?
Isn’t the person in front of him his Ah Jiu?
She stood under the tree, wearing a shirt and jeans, looking at him with clear eyes.
The two people looked at each other for a long time, and no one spoke.
Finally, Bai Yuqing spoke, but his voice was a little hoarse, "Ajiu, why are you here?"
After he landed, he received a call from Ajiu, who said in a relaxed tone that he was coming back to deal with the student registration issue.
Ah Jiu on the phone clearly said: "Okay, then come back early."
But at this moment, she actually appeared here. To him, it was like a dream.
As if sensing his indescribable gloom, Jiang Jinyue pursed her lips, trying to summon her sense of humor, and said, "I'm afraid you'll run away with the ball."
Bai Yuqing smiled, "Wait for me to go down."
"Don't!" Jiang Jinyue immediately stopped him. She looked at the tree, then at where he was. "I'll go up and find you."
"Can you climb trees?"
“Very impressive.”
Bai Yuqing unexpectedly saw Ajiu appear under the tree, and then watched her climb up the tree and come to his side.
"Don't you need to film? Why do you come here suddenly?" Bai Yuqing lowered his head and reached out to brush off the dust for her.
Jiang Jinyue shook her head and said, "We'll be reshooting the male lead's scenes these past two days."
What she didn't say was that she went straight to the director, asked for additional investment, and asked for adjustments to the currently filmed scenes, so that her scenes would be moved back two days.
This was not a problem at all, and the director readily accepted it.
She immediately flew here with her bodyguards.
Ever since she climbed up the tree, Bai Yuqing has been brushing off the dust on himself. Even though there is no dust anymore, he still keeps his head down.
"Bai Yuqing?" she called out tentatively.
Who would have thought that the next second, the man suddenly hugged her tightly.
After Jiang Jinyue realized what was happening, he felt relieved.
She knew he was in a bad mood.
She couldn't explain why, but even though his voice sounded the same as usual, she still felt that he needed her company.
So she came from afar.
"Ajiu...Ajiu..."
Listening to him calling his name in a low voice.
Jiang Jinyue sighed softly, hugged him, and kept patting his back gently, comforting him in a slightly clumsy way.
After they leaned against each other and their empty hearts were filled, Bai Yuqing spoke:
"Zhuang Zenian came to see me. He is my mother's current husband."
"Um."
"He said my mother loved me very much, she just lost her memory, that's why she didn't come to see me."
"Um."
"I used to sit in this tree and wait for my mother to come back and pick me up."
"Um."
"So I heard this and it brought me back here, and I wanted to feel like I was a kid... isn't that funny?"
Jiang Jinyue, who was clumsy and not very good at comforting others, suddenly fell silent.
She held the man's hand and pulled down, pulling the clothes on his waist. After a moment of silence, she said:
"Then tell Xiaobai Yuqing that he has waited."
She felt the man's body stiffen, and then tears wet her shoulders.
Jiang Jinyue suddenly panicked. She was clearly trying to comfort him, so how could she have caused him to have such an emotional breakdown?
Too... too sentimental?
Seeing him crying like this, Jiang Jinyue felt a little sad too. She thought about how he usually coaxed her, and she rarely said a "sweet word".
She said, "Tell Bai Yuqing that he waited for me."
Being hugged tighter.
She was almost out of breath, but she couldn't say no when he was so sad, so Jiang Jinyue said, "Bai Yuqing, stop hugging me, kiss me instead."
***
On the way back, the two sat in the back seat, their emotions completely different from when they were in the tree just now.
This time, it was Jiang Jinyue who was in a low mood, while Bai Yuqing was in high spirits as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Touching her swollen lips, Jiang Jinyue glared at him in dissatisfaction and began to settle the score.
"So why did you leave without saying anything?"
Bai Yuqing listened to her words and watched her actions. He looked at her, sighed softly, and then approached her. He bent down his tall body, put his arms around her slender waist, and rubbed his head against her neck.
Jiang Jinyue felt a slight itch from his hair, and the emotions that had been brewing disappeared like a slowly deflating balloon.
Bai Yuqing's low voice, whether it was genuine or fake, rang in her ears. His voice was pleasant to begin with, and the distance made half of her body numb.
"After I finished talking with Zhuang Zenian, I really wanted to see you, Ajiu. But I didn't expect that our photos that night would be taken. I didn't want to cause you any trouble, so I came back here. I thought that if the media followed you, they wouldn't be able to capture the two of us in the same frame."
Having said that, he raised his head. From Jiang Jinyue's perspective, his eyes were drooping, just like the puppy he raised when he was a child after being wronged.
"Ajiu, will coming to see me cause you trouble?"
Oh...never mind, she had to admit that she just fell for it.
Just drink some tea. The tea is just to please myself. After all, what else can I do with the man I like?
Just pamper her.
She unconsciously licked her swollen lips, ignoring Bai Yuqing's sudden deep look, and asked:
"Have you seen the statement Li Dacheng made on my Weibo?"
Bai Yuqing nodded and said, "I saw it."
He sat on the plane and after struggling for a while, he finally opened Weibo.
I saw the secretly filmed video.
At first, it was just posted by a passerby, saying that he had met a handsome guy and his girlfriend in the hospital, and they looked very sweet.
His face can be seen completely from that angle, but the woman in the video was wearing a hat, with only the tip of her tall nose showing, and even her ears were covered by her hair.
The interaction between the two is natural and sweet.
The video became a minor hit, and some people recognized the boy as Bai Yuqing.
But how can we recognize that the woman is Ajiu?
