Chapter 87: Life and Death
Jiang Jinyue was keenly aware of the "others" he mentioned.
Bai Yuqing even spoke frankly about the persistent "pursuit" of a female classmate in the past month, Chen Zhuoni, who sent him flowers every day.
After Bai Yuqing rejected her many times, she suddenly asked——
"Are you in a relationship with Jiang Jinyue?"
"Yes." There was no need for them to hide their relationship now.
"Then did you know that Jiang Jinyue's family wanted to bring us together?"
Bai Yuqing's hand on the phone was stunned for a moment, and he didn't say anything.
Chen Zhuoni curled her lips in annoyance. "Jiang Jinyue is cold all day long, and you're cold too. Are you two competing to see who has the better cooling effect?"
Bai Yuqing: "You're quite humorous."
"...Don't worry, I don't like you. I have someone I like. I'm just testing you on behalf of Jiang Jinyue's mother. After all, it's a huge expense, so I'd rather earn it than not."
"Um."
"Aren't you curious about who I like?"
Bai Yuqing lowered his head to play with his phone, chatting with Jiang Jinyue on the screen, as if he didn't hear what Chen Zhuoni said.
"The person I like likes Jiang Jinyue."
At this point, Bai Yuqing raised his head, his expression cold, "The people who like her can line up from the United States to the United Kingdom."
Chen Zhuoni stamped her foot. "But I like that one, it's really good! It's like a prince!"
"Really? It can't be the prince."
Chen Zhuoni was about to speak when she suddenly realized, "Are you trying to provoke me?"
The corners of her lips curled up, "Tsk tsk tsk, tell me how you and Jiang Jinyue get along, and I'll tell you."
Bai Yuqing lowered his head again. He was too impatient just now, which made him seem too fussy and didn't give Jiang Jinyue any space to get along with the opposite sex.
Hearing that someone likes her is like facing a formidable enemy.
Then I would be facing thousands of troops alone.
Is it that so?
Of course...it's too much.
But, you can’t show it!
"Tell me about it. This is a win-win situation. I can tell the person I like about your sweet daily life and let him know that he has no hope. I can also help you eliminate a strong enemy."
Bai Yuqing remained unmoved, but Chen Zhuoni lost her patience and sent photos of the person she liked and Jiang Jinyue to Bai Yuqing.
At first glance, isn’t this my girlfriend’s neighbor?
"I didn't expect you two were childhood sweethearts." Bai Yuqing swore that he just said this very casually, without any intention of being sarcastic, but for some reason, it sounded... very sour.
"Are you jealous?" Jiang Jinyue tilted her head and looked at him with a smile.
"How could that be?" Bai Yuqing said stubbornly, "How could I be jealous of a photo of five or six people with you guys standing on either side?"
"Really? Well, I have a separate photo of us together. Do you want to see it?"
"Jiang Jinyue!" Bai Yuqing pretended to use force, but he only pinched her face lightly.
"Aren't you worried? He lives next door to me now."
"I just don't like others coveting you, but I believe you." Bai Yuqing said with a little helplessness, and couldn't help biting her lips.
It's true that I like it so much that I want to bite people.
This is not the trust that exists in a long-distance relationship, but Bai Yuqing's trust in Jiang Jinyue. It has nothing to do with long-distance relationships, but with people.
On the way back to the hotel, Bai Yuqing carried her on his back all the way.
Jiang Jinyue lay on his back and suddenly said, "Aren't you curious about the relationship between the woman my father brought tonight?"
"Not curious."
"Now be curious."
"I'm so curious, who is she, Jiu?"
"I'm not curious about that."
"I'm so curious, what's her relationship with your father? Jiu."
After getting the question he wanted, Jiang Jinyue said, "She should be my father's female companion here, or a short-term relationship. After it's over, my father will give her some money or some resources."
"Um."
"My mother also knows about it, but she doesn't have any objections because she also dates some men herself."
"Um."
"That's the relationship between my dad and mom. They've had an open marriage since I was born."
"They don't hide their relationship. For them, life is short, and they should experience life to the fullest extent possible and experience interacting with different people."
"Um."
"I heard that my grandfather never thought of marrying my mother off. He thought that someone with her personality would cause less trouble to others, especially those famous young men. Their families would also dislike her bad reputation."
"My mother had a fight with my grandfather over this, and our relationship is still bad. My mother felt that he was just born into this family, so why should he be bound by the rules of this family?"
"As fate would have it, she met my father, and the two of them hit it off immediately. Both of them had very different ideas. Of course, in this society, in the upper class, everyone would say that my father's ideas were suave and casual."
"Um."
"Then they got married. They've maintained this relationship ever since, surprisingly harmoniously. From childhood to adulthood, they've never argued, and their communication is incredibly efficient. Furthermore, their values are remarkably aligned; you could say they're each other's best friends."
"Yeah." Bai Yuqing listened carefully, then pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Are you used to it, Jiu?"
"This has been their lifestyle since I was born. So I was able to adapt to it. But when I was little, there were always some kids who would run up to me and tell me that my dad had an affair, or my mom had an affair."
Jiang Jinyue hugged the man's neck tightly. "I was a little unhappy at the time, but I gradually let it go. Even though I'm their daughter, I have no right to criticize their lifestyle because they are pretty good parents."
"Even, they never argued, which, to a certain extent, gave me a very harmonious family life. When I grew up, those children who laughed at me discovered that their family, under the disguise of being well-deserved, was actually a mess of filth and chaos."
"There are very few people who can completely ignore the opinions of others and live like my parents."
"Yeah." Bai Yuqing gently rubbed the girl's soft face on his shoulder.
Praise flowed from his mouth along with the night:
"Ajiu is so nice."
"Ajiu is so outstanding."
"Ajiu is so beautiful."
"Ajiu's movies are getting rave reviews right now."
…
Jiang Jinyue lay on his back and giggled.
Listening to him comforting himself in this way.
In fact, it can’t be considered as comfort, because his Ah Jiu doesn’t need it.
But when Bai Yuqing suddenly heard about his girlfriend's alternative way of getting along with her family, he felt extremely complicated. This is a family that is difficult to comment on, neither good nor bad.
So it’s more of a sincere compliment than a comfort.

The movie directed by Ding Qingli was a big hit, achieving great success in both box office and critical acclaim. The leading actress Jiang Jinyue is now very popular in the country.
But at this moment, she directly announced her retirement. This sense of mystery has made Jiang Jinyue a hot topic in the past few months.
Today, their unconcealed interaction was naturally captured by others and posted online.
It can be said that their date today was broadcast live on the domestic Internet.
Going to class, eating, taking a walk, and carrying my girlfriend to the hotel.
The two of them were currently lying on the big bed in the hotel, browsing these photos.
"Is it because we are both so good-looking that the photos look great no matter the angle?" Bai Yuqing was saving the photos while reveling in himself.
Jiang Jinyue wanted to roll up the quilt and move away from him, but she failed and was immediately pulled into his arms, with his warm palm on her lower abdomen.
"Don't move, Yueyue."
"What?" Jiang Jinyue thought he had misheard.
"Yueyue."
"You... have a fever?" Is he crazy due to the fever?
Bai Yuqing slapped her tentative hand away and said, "I'm reading a fanfiction written by fans of our CP. In it, I call you Yueyue."
“…”
"Then why are you holding the phone upside down?" Jiang Jinyue then realized that he was holding the phone upside down.
"Because this is a pornographic fanfiction, I can only post it this way to reduce the possibility of being blocked."
"..." Jiang Jinyue was almost petrified.
"Why...why...why are you still looking at this thing?"
She looked at him in disbelief and embarrassment.
"It's really beautiful." Bai Yuqing whispered in her ear, "There are many positions in it that we haven't tried."
"Shut up!"
"It seems I still have to keep learning as long as I live."
"Shut up!"
"Yueyue, I have changed the tutoring materials now."
"Shut up!"
Bai Yuqing laughed cheerfully, pulled away her hands that were covering her face, and kissed her lips.
Although they couldn't be shameless, the two of them still spent the day together. On Sunday, Bai Yuqing sent her to the airport.
When they parted, Jiang Jinyue hesitated to speak, held his hand tightly and didn't want to let go, staring at him with eager eyes and hiding things from him.
Bai Yuqing raised his chin slightly and said directly in a rather arrogant tone, "I won't tell you when I'm going to America to find you. I also want to give you a surprise."
In November, Bai Yuqing flew to the United States without telling her.
It was indeed a surprise, because that day, Jiang Jinyue flew to Boston to find Wen Xi.
Bai Yuqing was so upset that he saw the Boston location she sent him after getting off the plane. He bought another ticket and flew to Boston.
In order to avoid missing out again this time, he sent her a WeChat message in advance:
It's a photo of an airplane ticket.
Very good, the surprise is gone.
When Jiang Jinyue saw it, he had just arrived at Wenxi's house.
Looking at Wen Xi, he apologized and said, "Sorry, I may have to go to the airport again."
"What?"
"Bai Yuqing came to see me, I have to go to the airport to pick him up."
"No... you guys treat me as just a part of your play?"
"Of course not." Jiang Jinyue immediately rejected it. "He was going to Los Angeles to find me, but I came here."
"So he flew here?"
"right."
"Okay, okay, you guys just talk and don't bother me." Wen Xi immediately decided to become invisible.
No wonder the person who looked so tired just now is now full of energy again.
Love, the best beauty product in the world.
In December, they met in Europe for Christmas, and then flew to a snowy mountain together to ski for a week.
Bai Yuqing was taught to ski by Jiang Jinyue. He learned very quickly and gradually became addicted to it and fell in love with skiing.
So after they separated, they went skiing with their friends in different countries. They didn't have the habit of posting on social media, but their friends posted their photos on various platforms.
As a result, rumors of their breakup spread like wildfire.
Bai Yuqing did not explain, but went to find Jiang Jinyue again. This time, she and several classmates were shooting a short film together.
After he arrived, he worked as a field worker, helping out everywhere.
It was only when Jiang Jinyue had some free time in the evening that she learned about the breakup rumors.
"No wonder some people always want to add my contact information recently."
After she finished saying this in a daze, she fell asleep in the man's arms.
The next morning, after the two of them made out for a while, she lay on top of the man and looked at him eagerly: "When is your flight this time?"
The man named a date.
It was a week later.
"What?!" Jiang Jinyue's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Reading Week, there are no classes for a week, I'm here with you."
So, Bai Yuqing stayed here for a whole week. Many Chinese people in the North American study abroad circle took photos of them together, and the breakup rumors were self-defeating.
He worked as a stagehand for a week, and after the short film was edited, the staff put his name at the end of the film.
The Qingfeng Mingyue super topic cut out this scene and was so angry that people were about it.
This is the man behind the successful woman!
***
As summer vacation approached, Jiang Jinyue was approached by a former colleague.
"Luna, we want to go to Africa together this summer to try to shoot a documentary. Do you want to join us? It's in July."
Faced with her classmates' enthusiastic invitation, she thought about it for a minute and finally refused.
"Why?!" Christina, an androgynous American girl, asked with her shoulders hunched and her hands spread out.
"I'm going diving with my boyfriend during the summer vacation. Sorry."
Bai Yuqing has already booked the diving location, hotel and air tickets.
"Oh my god." As an asexual person, Luna's behavior was simply incomprehensible in her eyes.
"You can have him go to Africa with you, just like last time."
Jiang Jinyue thought about it and said, "Let me ask him."
"Okay. I look forward to hearing from you."
Jiang Jinyue decided to fly over directly to talk to Bai Yuqing and also go and see him.
Because they haven't seen each other for two months.
