Chapter 22: Everything was intentional. Honest people don’t fall in love online…
After watching the snow, Yu Han felt refreshed, but she no longer wanted to play basketball.
Qin Yi said, "How about I play with you? Your moves just now weren't as standard as your first few moves."
"Don't you always play with me?" Yu Han asked curiously.
Qin Yi handed over the pole.
Yu Han took it with a wronged look and bent down.
Qin Yi pointed at the spot she was aiming for. "At this angle, you can only hit it back. Can you hit it out? Move the club upwards."
Yu Han was stunned. Realizing that he was going to teach her, she was completely stunned and didn't come back to her senses.
They were originally fighting each other, but suddenly they became one.
"Concentrate. That's what you did just now. If you don't concentrate, the club will deviate. You should hit it left, but you hit it right. How can you hit it in?"
"Then you can still play even if you don't watch the game."
"That's me, um, strong."
“…” She slumped down on the table.
Qin Yi: “…”
The boy's hearty laughter rang in her ears, like a spring slowly rolling over the rocks.
Yu Han was so depressed that she wanted to die. She turned her head away to make him stop laughing.
Turning his head, he looked into a pair of incredibly beautiful peach blossom eyes. The corners of the boy's eyes, raised by a smile, were etched with a teardrop mole. The light flowing in his eyes was like the rising sun in winter, carrying a blazing glow.
Gradually, he grew quieter, no longer smiling. The sun-like light receded like the tide, finally sinking like night onto the vast sea. In the blink of an eye, the wind stirred ripples, and the bright moon swayed over the deep ocean... But his eyes were firm, his posture motionless.
The scene in the video that Bao Tong had sent her before emerged in her mind. The boy bending over in the sunlight was inexplicably like the boy at this moment, calm and powerful, attractive.
For some reason, at this moment I even feel that their temperaments are very similar, not just their voices.
This thought flashed through her mind countless times a day, and she was almost driven crazy by herself.
When she asked, he denied it, and when she didn't ask, her suspicion grew.
Qin Yi looked away, afraid that he would lose his mind looking at Zhang Tian's flawless and innocent face, and kissed her: "Seriously, hit me."
Yu Han turned back silently. She pushed the club forward, hitting the white ball.
The yellow ball is pocketed.
After changing her position, Qin Yi could still accurately see whether her posture and the angle of the pole were correct through half the table, and asked her to move.
With this shot, the red ball fell into the pocket.
Then Yu Han beat herself and he fell silent.
The ball still went perfectly along the route she wanted and went into her pocket.
This is her level. Qin Yi can see that she understands the rules and techniques of playing ball very well. She missed the ball because she was completely not focused.
She took another one, and even without his instructions, she still went in without any pressure.
"You've mastered it," Qin Yi praised, boosting the little princess's confidence. "You fight much better than the ones upstairs. They'll want to become your disciples after seeing you."
"I just need to not think about you."
"..." Qin Yi coughed lightly, "What are you missing me for? I'm right here. I didn't say a word just now."
"I feel like you're alone..." She stammered, lowering her head.
Qin Yi paused, then turned around and said casually, "You say you're not dating and are so pure, but you keep thinking about her. You're finished."
"..." Yu Han had nothing to say. She just laughed and didn't dare to say anything else.
Qin Yi finished the last sip of coffee and threw it into the trash can a few meters away.
After Yu Han cleared all the balls on the table with one shot, she slowly turned around and leaned against the table to drink mineral water.
Qin Yi called someone in to take care of the ball, then took out his cell phone from his pocket and checked it, which was constantly vibrating.
As soon as they go on WeChat, everyone tags him.
He clicked to join the group.
The message scrolled to the end. Chen Ze posted a photo of himself holding a Starbucks cup: "@Qin thank the little princess of Singapore for the gift."
Lu Yuxing also took a picture and posted it, saying, "I second the proposal! Tell her I'm a big fan of her relationship."
Han Zhou: "I second the motion. I will always support the little princess's status."
Another roommate, Tang Fei, also took a photo of Starbucks: "@Qin, take it easy. If you're two-timing, I'll tell her right away! The little princess is truly authoritative."
The other three people who didn't come to play all had question marks on their faces.
"??? The Singaporean princess even bought you coffee?"
"I went to Qin Yi's place to have a relationship, and you greedy guys made a profit."
Han Zhou ignored their envy and jealousy and tagged Qin Yi: "Can't I go down to visit our Singaporean little princess later? I miss her so much."
Shen Ze: "I second the motion."
Lu Yuxing: "I will follow."
Qin Yi put away his phone and walked towards the person involved.
Yu Han held the mineral water bottle and looked at him with confused eyes. "What's wrong?"
Qin Yi narrowed his eyes and asked, "How many people upstairs did you buy things for?"
"Uh-huh."
"Why?"
"Because I stopped them from playing with you." She chuckled and said it as a matter of course.
Qin Yi took a deep breath and said, "I didn't let them come down. Whether you are stupid or not is none of your business. I am happy to fight someone else. It's boring to fight with them all the time. Don't buy it next time. You are not allowed to buy it."
"Why?" She drank a sip of mineral water.
"Just listen to me. If you don't know what's good for you after eating, you might as well come down and disturb us."
She smiled brightly and said, "Just let them come down."
Qin Yi turned his face away to avoid her dazzling facial features, leaned against the pool table and opened the mineral water.
The little princess tilted her head and looked at him.
Qin Yi calmly drank half a bottle of water before turning his head to look: "Huh?"
"Are you thirsty? Can I order some takeout?"
“…”
"You seem very angry?"
“…”
"Did I make you angry? Then I won't order it."
"..." Qin Yi sighed, feeling that these days were really difficult. His beloved was in front of him, but he couldn't kiss or hug her, and couldn't call her Hanhan gently. She didn't know what was wrong with him.
If her phone could ring at this moment with her message, saying: Qin Yi, come out and meet me, I miss you.
Even if it was his salvation, he would be willing to be beaten to death.
"No." He drank the whole bottle of water in one gulp and picked up the pole. "Don't order it. I drink so much coffee in a day and I'll be staring at the sky until dawn."
"Okay." But Yu Han felt a little sympathetic and didn't want to fight anymore.
Qin Yi raised an eyebrow: "Are you backing down already? Who just cleared the table with one shot?"
She puffed out her cheeks and said, "I don't know how to fight. You taught me."
Qin Yi frowned: "Who said that? Then I'll go fight them."
She turned her back and leaned against the pool table: "Go ahead and play. I can't occupy you for the whole day. Your classmates must be thinking about playing against a great player like you before they come. They will hate me."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I've been praising you to the heavens in the group chat." Qin Yi walked around, turned her around, and stuffed the club into her hand. "Play, just play with me honestly. I'll give you my club. This broken public club is not useful at all."
Yu Han gave him hers and went to get his, "Then I'll use this."
Qin Yi stretched his hand back to avoid her hand.
The boy was at least twenty centimeters taller than her, and his arms were also long. Yu Han stood in front of him, and the same gesture she made was only a little shorter and missed.
She looked up.
Their eyes met.
The billiard hall was playing a song called "How Much I Like You" which was released a few years ago.
Dear, do you still remember the moment when I first kissed you?
The two of us / don't care about the holiday heat / just want to be free and happy
No one paid attention to what music was playing in the billiard hall; it was just a little entertainment to add icing on the cake. But at this moment, the two people who were quiet and not playing billiards were forced to listen to the clear and lyrical singing, and they were forced to feel... a little, or rather, deeply, uncomfortable.
Qin Yi was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he turned his head away first, handed back the rod she had thrust into him, and walked away: "Continue."
"Have you been in Lan City this winter vacation?" Yu Han asked casually.
Qin Yi teed off the ball himself, then bent down and aimed at the white ball: "It will go out. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just asking because I like to travel a lot when I have a holiday. Are you going on a trip?"
"I guess so. Are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Um."
"What time is it?"
"In the afternoon, I think it's around three o'clock."
Qin Yi nodded.
Yu Han watched him effortlessly score a goal that had many obstacles, and envied him, "What's wrong?"
Qin Yi: "I'm flying to Malaysia tomorrow."
Yu Han opened her eyes wide and shifted her gaze from the intricate arrangement of balls on the table to his upright figure: "Really?"
"Um."
"What time is your flight?"
"It should be a little behind you, I can't quite remember."
"Then maybe we can meet at the airport." She smiled sweetly.
Qin Yi glanced at her and said, "I'll call you when we meet tomorrow."
"Okay, okay. Then I'll call you too~" She was very happy.
Qin Yi pursed his lips and turned back to play ball.
Yu Han continued to perform very well, sinking nine out of ten balls. Qin Yi praised her non-stop, making the little princess feel flattered. Finally, she lay on the table and said guiltily, "Stop praising me! I'm getting cocky!"
He chuckled softly, feeling incredibly happy.
At five o'clock in the evening, the two left the billiard hall.
"Where did you make an appointment with your classmates to have dinner?" Qin Yi asked the little princess beside him at the door of Starbucks.
Yu Han: "Polar South Plaza. I should take a taxi there. There doesn't seem to be a subway nearby. I remember you said last time that the subway requires crossing two traffic lights."
Qin Yi took out his phone, clicked on the taxi app, typed in "Polar South", and asked her, "To the main gate?"
"Yeah, yeah." But before she finished speaking, she said, "Hey, I can do it myself. I can't bother you every time."
The snow had stopped. Under the gray sky, the neon lights on the roadside crossed each other, blurring the soft light in the boy's peach-like eyes.
"It's not a big deal this time."
“…”
Yu Han lowered her head, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally shook her head. "No, it's not raining today. I don't want to trouble you again and again, and you won't let me pay you back."
Qin Yi sighed: "Use your phone."
Yu Han took it out immediately.
Qin Yi was very worried: "Be careful. Have you ever used a mobile phone to call a taxi in China?"
"without."
"Then you can't cancel the order before you arrive. You have to confirm it only after you arrive safely at your destination. Today is rush hour, so it will probably take half an hour to arrive. If you notice that the route has deviated, you can report it in the app."
"Yeah, yeah, okay."
She downloaded a taxi-hailing app on her mobile phone, logged in, wrote the address under Qin Yi's guidance, and called.
Qin Yi saw that a driver had accepted the order and stood aside to wait with her.
It gets dark early in winter. Looking up through the towering ginkgo branches, the sky is already filled with twilight. The evening breeze gently blew the little princess's hair. Qin Yi stood quietly to one side, and she kept stealing glances at him.
Once, twice, three times...
While waiting for the car for a few minutes, Yu Han looked at him countless times.
Qin Yi knew what she was thinking. He was also hesitating and struggling. What was hesitating about... She would graduate at the end of the year, and the time left before they could meet freely was actually very short. He could just endure it.
If I tell her the truth now, she will definitely come back during the holiday in March, or in June, or in September.
But her parents would not let her spend the entire June summer vacation alone in China, so she could only stay for one or two days.
September is even less suitable for returning, as she has final exams in October and Singapore's A-Level college entrance examination in December.
He was only in Singapore this winter break. He had a competition during the summer break and couldn't go, so he couldn't go see her in person.
If we want to meet before graduation, we have to rely on her to come back.
She felt bad that she couldn't see him, but at this age and at this time it was really inappropriate for her to always be thinking about playing with him.
She said she didn't know which school or major to apply to, but he guessed that since she was in Singapore, the National University would be her first choice.
If she chose this, she wouldn't be able to relax and have fun. She would be busy with the A-Level exams, and then she would probably have to tell him every day that he should just become a beggar and not read this crappy book.
So, forget it.
The driver came quickly.
Yu Han said, "Thank you for playing with me today."
Qin Yi didn't say anything.
The car stopped in front of him. He opened the back door and helped her in. Then he walked to the passenger seat and knocked on the window.
The driver lowered the window.
The young man put his bony hands on the car window, looked inside and said to the driver, "Drive slower, sir, don't brake so suddenly, my sister is carsick."
"Okay."
Yu Han was confused and didn't know why he said she was carsick, because she wasn't carsick.
It was not until the car started driving for a while that she turned around and saw through the rear windshield that the young man in black at the Starbucks door was still there. Then she realized that he was instructing the driver to take her to her destination safely. The emphasis of this sentence was on "sister", telling the strange driver that she had a brother.
Not motion sickness.
In addition, he might ask the driver to drive slower because she might be easily injured if she braked suddenly due to her physical condition.
Until the car turned a corner and they could no longer see each other, Qin Yi walked back to school.
At the guard post at the back door, I found a conspicuous black gift box.
It was already late when he got home, and his grandmother told him that dinner would be served in ten minutes.
Qin Yi agreed, carried the gift box upstairs and returned to his room.
The black paper bag was quite heavy, and at the top you could see a familiar piece of clothing packaging.
The clothes he left behind in the Florence hospital.
This one is new, she bought him a new one.
Qin Yi picked it up, but didn't expect there was another item inside.
Qin Yi slowly picked up the sweatshirt and looked inside. The packaging box stunned him.
Picking up the cool box, he held his breath...NVIDIA RTX 5090 32G, gaming graphics card.
Qin Yi's mind buzzed, and he quickly recalled what he had said to her about the game.
When he first contacted her, every time she asked him what he was doing, he said, playing games.
At that time, when they were still unfamiliar with each other, she would sigh and say, "You don't seem to have much pressure to study, you often play games."
He said he had good grades, and she said, "That's really amazing."
The innocent little princess quite admired him.
When I looked for him today, he also said he was playing games.
Qin Yi slowly bent down, rested his elbows on his knees, and looked quietly at the box in his hands. His mind flashed back to the little cutie who was standing opposite the back door of the school this afternoon, leaning against the lamppost and taking pictures with his mobile phone.
After sitting for a while, he took out his phone to send a message.
Yu Han had already arrived at the Polar South Plaza and was waiting for the elevator to go upstairs to the hot pot restaurant. Chen Man said that they would be there in a few minutes and asked her to order first.
She was regretting that if she had the WeChat of that person just now, she could have told him that she had arrived and he wouldn't have to worry. Unfortunately, she only knew that his last name was Jin.
As a result, I received a message from another person in the same second.
QIN: "I took the gift. Why did you give me so many things? These little things are just trying to piss me off."
Yuerhan: "You got it~~ It's okay, it's nothing. But do you like the clothes?"
QIN: "Let's not talk about clothes for now."
Yuerhan: "Bye then. Humph, you don't even give me any feedback."
Qin: "Tell me, this gift is nothing? It costs tens of thousands of dollars. I'll tell you when you've finished it."
Yuerhan: “Can a three-in-one gift be that shabby?”
Qin: "??? Didn't you say this was just this year's birthday gift?"
Yuerhan: "Hehehe, don't worry about it."
Qin: “???”
Yuerhan: "Kneel down and beg for mercy:jpg."
QIN: “…”
Yuerhan: "I won't dare to do it again next time, brother, please don't be angry."
Qin Yi looked at the name and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment: "If you act without authorization next time, I will delete my WeChat and Instagram."
Yuerhan: "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu then I will call you every day and cry to you."
QIN: "..." He threatened coldly, "Do you think you can still get through on the phone?"
Yuerhan: "You are so cruel. I'm breaking up with you. I swear you won't be able to get through to me tonight, Qin."
"..." Qin Yi's lips twitched, he stared at the words for a moment, and slowly laughed.
Sometimes he is my brother, sometimes he is my netizen. This little guy changes his mind so quickly.
Still a little worried that he would be blocked, Qin Yi tried to make a voice call.
It rang for five seconds and then the call was connected.
Qin Yi raised his thin lips: "Didn't you delete me, ancestor?"
"I've blocked your number, just call me on WeChat!" she said angrily, as if it was your own cunning that had nothing to do with me. I didn't say anything nonsense, nor did I feel soft-hearted.
Qin Yi wanted to confront her directly and ask, "How dare you say that? Can your Singapore number be connected today? You little liar."
"Then why don't you delete my WeChat?" he said.
"Hmph, hang up, hang up, delete."
He didn't hang up. Five seconds, ten seconds, she didn't hang up either.
Qin Yi called out gently, "Hanhan."
The other party said indifferently: "I don't know you."
Qin Yi said to himself, "It snowed in Lan City today."
Yu Han's heart calmed down. Recalling the scene of watching the snow in the afternoon, she couldn't help but try to overlap the two people, so she responded vaguely: "Hmm, really, is it beautiful?"
Qin Yi did not reply, but said: "I hope to have another show next year..."
Yu Han's heart skipped a beat, as if she understood the metaphor behind his words.
"Will you watch it with me?"
"Um."
"I'll come back to see you after I finish my exams in October, okay? It shouldn't affect you too much by then. You should have been admitted by then, and your study load won't be too heavy."
"Even if we meet today, it's not serious."
Yu Han's breathing suddenly became deeper. She just felt that he knew she had returned to China.
She tested him with words but he didn't hide anything.
"Where did you see the snow?" she suddenly changed the subject and asked with a smile.
Qin Yi fell silent.
Yu Han's heart began to beat involuntarily again, and suddenly she couldn't even hold her phone steady.
She wanted to hang up the phone in a panic: "Let's do this for now, I, I want to eat."
Qin Yi said: "I watched it at home."
Yu Han's breathing stopped abruptly, her fists clenched, and the words "Is this true or not" kept coming back and forth, but no one had the courage to ask.
She wanted to recall in depth the times they had met before, but found that those images would swallow her up like a flood. So many times, during the Spring Festival, in March, and this time, they had been together for a long time each time, and even that meeting in Kuala Lumpur in the middle of the night.
If so, then these could not be accidental encounters, but someone had done it intentionally, because Qin Yi knew that she went to Kuala Lumpur, Qin Yi knew that she went to the movies during the Spring Festival, and he also knew that she was scolded by the teacher at school.
So he showed up at just the right time.
When Yu Han remembered that he had deliberately created the opportunity to meet her, she felt as if she couldn't breathe. She felt unbelievable and shocked.
I was shocked as to why he was meeting her every time but he didn't say anything.
Yu Han couldn't think about the reason in detail, as she would collapse if she did. She couldn't wait to call him out, confront him face to face, and move the agreed time to the present so that they could meet immediately.
She was really about to break down.
After a long silence, Yu Han could only say, "Remember our agreement."
"Um?"
"You, don't play with others."
"..." Qin Yi thought about the receptionist at the billiard hall that afternoon and smiled bitterly, "What?"
"Literally, you can only play with me."
The corners of his mouth curled up: "What else? I look like someone who is playing both sides?"
Yu Han snorted coldly, "Who knows? There are so many beautiful girls in the class, and you're still walking around with that face that everyone in the school knows. Besides, you're not an honest person to begin with."
"..." Qin Yi laughed, "Why am I not honest?"
Yu Han: "Honest people don't fall in love online."
Qin Yi: "..." He couldn't help but ask, "What about you? My little ancestor is not honest either?"
Yu Han: "I'm single."
Qin Yi: “…”
