Chapter 13 Group
The first ray of light in the morning slowly spread over his body, bringing warmth, and Bai He opened his sleepy eyes.
He sat up suddenly in shock and looked at himself in the small mirror on the table.
A pair of eyes, which were not very big to begin with, swelled up like little lizards.
Thinking of the burst of crying last night, it seemed that all the sadness and grievances that had been suppressed in my heart for so many years poured out all at once.
After clearing it, Bai He no longer felt sad, but only felt ashamed.
How embarrassing!
She was crying and snotting all over Yan Yi yesterday.
She had never told anyone before that she liked Qi Lang, not even Yan Yi. However, her secret crush, which she had carefully hidden in her heart, had become known to everyone without her realizing it. Su Xiaojing knew about it, Yan Yi knew about it...
Only Qi Lang didn't know.
Yan Yi, who was reading, heard the noise next door and knocked on the door: "Are you awake?"
Bai He quickly lay down and covered his head with a pillow.
I just feel extremely embarrassed.
Yan Yi walked into the room with a wet cold towel, sat down beside the small bed, and tried to turn her body over.
Bai He covered his eyes with his arms: "Ayi, get out first!"
"Why are you shy with me?"
His low and soft voice always carries a reassuring power.
Bai He sat up and Yan Yi put a towel to cool her eyes.
"Am I particularly ugly?" she asked nervously.
"No." Yan Yi said gently, "You look good no matter what."
Bai He naturally didn't take his words seriously. This brother never said anything bad about her and was very emotionally considerate of her.
She took the towel and applied ice to her eyes. Yan Yi picked up the trash can and collected the paper balls under the bed. "Are you still sad?"
"It's okay." Bai He said, "It's not the first time, and it won't be the last. I'm used to it."
Yan Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let's set up a party later and ask him to play a script-killing game. How about that? I know there's a romance-based game that's been really popular lately. A lot of people online can't get over it after playing it."
"Ah?" Bai He stared at him blankly, "So..."
"Team up with him and try it out once."
"What's wrong with you?" She was surprised by Yan Yi's uncharacteristic behavior.
"Forget it. I said yesterday that I would help you."
"No, no, no, no, no, no." Bai He was instantly embarrassed, her cheeks flushed. "He is in contact with other girls. Let's not sabotage it. Let's wait until he breaks up. Don't..."
Yan Yi knew that Bai He would subconsciously choose to escape when it came to Qi Lang's affairs.
Even when trying to get close, she was extremely cautious.
"Didn't you say Qi Lang only wanted to try it out? We haven't confirmed anything yet." Yan Yi knew his childhood friend very well. "If he really liked her, Qi Lang would have taken the initiative to pursue her. Since he didn't confirm the relationship right away, it means this girl doesn't particularly attract him."
Hearing him say this, Bai He recalled what happened last night, and it seemed...
His last girlfriend was the campus beauty from the No. 2 Middle School next door. They fell in love after knowing each other for only a few days. There was no question of whether to give it a try or not. Qi Lang was very determined in pursuing the person he liked.
He dated the campus beauty of No. 2 Middle School for more than half a year, which was the longest relationship he had ever had.
If you think about it this way, he doesn't particularly like Princess Ji, he just happens to be in a period of being single.
Bai He breathed a sigh of relief
"Then...what do you want to do?" Bai He looked at Yan Yi curiously.
Yan Yi bluntly said: "It's easy to tear them down."
"Ah, that might be bad."
"There's no such thing as humility in this matter. If you fight, you have a chance. If you don't fight, you have no chance at all."
In fact, Bai He didn't want to fight.
She knew she couldn't compete with him. She clearly only wanted that kind of... sure and unintentional love that would stay with her even without fighting or competing.
But how is this possible? She is not a super beauty.
Qi Lang, that’s what she wanted.
Bai He thought for a moment, and finally nodded as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
After that, Yan Yi called Qi Lang and asked, "Are you up?"
On the phone, the boy cursed "fuck" in a lazy voice.
"Usually on holidays, I sleep until the afternoon."
"So, get out!"
He was about to hang up Yan Yi's phone when Yan Yi stopped him and said, "Don't sleep anymore. Get up and pack up. We're organizing a script-based killing show at 1 pm and we're short of people."
Qi Lang narrowed his eyes and asked lazily, "What book?"
"Emotional Ben."
"That's boring. I'll do the reasoning."
Yan Yi insisted: "If I can't handle the reasoning, then I'll just give up on the emotional part."
"Why are you pretending, you science student?" Qi Lang finally lost some of his sleepiness. "Last time, in a six-hour mystery book, you figured out the murderer in less than three hours. You even couldn't handle DM. Is it you who can't do it, or is it your sister who can't do it?"
(Note: dm: host)
That time... it was indeed because he saw that Bai He was too bored and had no desire to participate, so he hurriedly ended the game and never took her to play reasoning games again.
"Cut the crap, be emotional, if you want to play, play, if you don't want to play, forget it."
Qi Lang asked, "Is the appointment full?"
"There are six of us. There are four of us on my side, Su Xiaojing and her cousin, Bai He and I. If you bring one more girl, it will be full."
"Alright, for Sayuri's sake."
Yan Yi hung up the phone. Bai He blinked and looked at him worriedly: "If you ask him to bring someone, he will most likely ask out that girl from yesterday. It's still a sentimental relationship. If they become a couple..."
"Don't worry about it. I'll find a way." Yan Yi rubbed her head. "You just need to be prepared. His partner will only be you, no one else."
Bai He was a little touched.
Yan Yi was the only person who waited for her with an umbrella during the entire rainy season.
Without him, her dull youth would have been drenched.
"Ayi, you've been so kind to me. I don't know how to repay you." She said in a joking tone.
"How about this." Yan Yi smiled faintly, "Promise me one thing."
"You say! Not to mention one, even ten thousand things will do. As long as I can do it, I will do it for you, no matter how much I die!" Bai He patted her chest and assured him.
"You don't have to die." Yan Yi smiled and lowered his eyes. "There is something I have longed for for a long time. If one day in the future, I ask you for it, you must give it to me."
His eyes were like bright moss after the rain.
She pointed at herself: "Mine?"
"Yes, yours."
Bai He looked at his narrow room filled with trivial objects and immediately said with a solemn promise: "Whatever you want! I can give it to you right now!"
She weighed her possessions, as if... as if nothing was more precious than the boy in front of her.
As long as Yan Yi wants it, she will give it to him without hesitation and will give him anything.
Yan Yi said: "Not now, I don't want it now, I will wait for you..."
Wait until you don't like him that much anymore.
"I'll ask you for it when I'm eighteen."
"Okay, it's a deal!" Bai He promised him, "When you come of age, I'll give you everything!"
Yan Yi raised his pinky finger and said, "Pink."
Bai He thought he was childish, but thinking that he was younger than her, she stretched out her little finger and hooked it with Yan Yixiu's thin little finger.
Just like when we were kids, we made promises and stamped our names.
…
After lunch, Yan Yi opened Bai He's makeup bag and took out various brushes, powders, eyeliners, and eyebrow pencils that she had never used since she bought them...
He asked her to sit on the chair, and he sat by the armrest, carefully applying powder and drawing her eyebrows.
The sunlight poured down on her delicate skin, and after applying light makeup, it looked like she was covered with a layer of shiny powder.
Bai He knew that Yan Yi had learned makeup from a book because he often shared makeup techniques with her and let her learn on her own.
But Bai He's hands are really too clumsy. A simple line can make her look like dark circles.
Yan Yi is the opposite of her. His hands are so skillful that he can always turn ordinary things into something magical, whether it's applying makeup or braiding her hair, or even... he can knit and sew!
She had a red scarf knitted by Yan Yi, with a unique white lily embroidered on it. When she wore it out, her best friend Su Xiaojing was so envious that she wanted Yan Yi to knit one for her, even if it meant paying for it. However, Yan Yi flatly refused.
Bai He let him hold her jaw and outline her natural eyebrows stroke by stroke.
He had a light and refreshing scent of gardenia on him, which was the scent of the fragrance beads that had recently been replaced at home, and it was also her scent.
They are like two cats living together, sharing each other's breath and being close to each other.
This was the first time Bai He had examined the young man so closely. Previously, she had thought his features were more subtle than Qi Lang's. Qi Lang had deep bones and peach blossom eyes like the scorching sun. Meanwhile, Ye Yi had an elegant complexion, like a landscape painting outlined in light ink.
But up close, his brow bones are also very deep, and the corners of his eyes are naturally slightly raised, like a thousand-year-old fox demon who tries hard to hide his beauty but exudes charm all the time.
This was the first time Bai He discovered that her little brother had grown up.
The young man in front of her... was filled with masculine aura, but this aura was masked by the intimate space they shared for a long time.
But it is there, alive and strong.
Bai He looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow".
His hands are truly amazing. How did he create this subtle, almost invisible light makeup that enhances her looks by several notches?
While she was looking at herself carefully in the mirror, Yan Yi picked and chose in her wardrobe, and picked out a gentle apricot-colored dress, which gave off the atmosphere of a white moonlight goddess.
"Wearing this?" she asked. "Wouldn't that be too good?"
Most of Qi Lang’s girlfriends are either eccentric and willful, or sexy and hot. He has never touched a good girl.
Yan Yi said, "Qi Lang likes obedient girls."
"Are you sure?"
"Trust my judgment."
Seeing Bai He still frowning in suspicion, Yan Yi explained, "The campus beauty of No. 2 Middle School, the one he's been dating for over half a year, the longest. She's got good grades and is the white moonlight goddess in the grade. She's also quite gentle, isn't she?"
"It seems... yes, I don't know her very well, and I haven't met her many times in total."
She didn't understand, but Yan Yi knew it very well.
"But they broke up in the end, and Qi Lang even said she was boring." She sighed, "I don't know what he wants."
"Maybe he doesn't even know it himself."
He follows his feelings and continues if he feels good. Once he feels uncomfortable, he will break up decisively. He is selfish and doesn't care about other people's life or death.
But Yan Yi was very sure that although he was so rebellious, he preferred good girls in his heart.
He asked her to put on the cream-colored skirt and went out to wait for her to change.
Bai He took off her pajamas and put on this little skirt.
"What should I do then?" she asked nervously.
This was the first time, the first time that Bai He took the initiative to take this step towards him. His blood flow accelerated, and he was in a state of nervous excitement.
Yan Yi zipped up her back, tied the bow at her waist, and pulled her soft hair out of her skirt, as if protecting a treasure.
"Just be yourself."
…
Su Xiaojing brought her distant cousin to the script-killing shop in the commercial center.
"Bai He, you look so beautiful with makeup on!" Su Xiaojing noticed Bai He's makeup as soon as she came in.
Bai He smiled and said, "Yan Yi made it for me."
"Oh my god, what a divine brother this is! I want him too! Brother Yan Yi, can you be my brother too?" She started to act coquettishly towards the cold boy next to Bai He.
Yan Yi: "So am I the elder brother or the younger brother?"
"I want them all! I want them all!"
Bai He poured her a cup of Coke and handed it to her: "Don't be too greedy."
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is my real brother." Su Xiaojing pulled the boy next to him over. "He's from the Northeast. He was on a business trip to Beili City and happened to be passing through Nanxiang City. So, my parents asked him to stay for a few days and brought him over to play with us."
"Hello, my name is Pang Yi." The cousin is very young, about 1.85 meters tall, with a muscular build and an average appearance, but he has an honest and simple personality and gives people a sense of security.
"Hello, my name is Bai He, and this is my younger brother Yan Yi."
The eldest cousin smiled and said, "Sister and brother! No wonder, you two look alike!"
Yan Yi sat next to Bai He, playing with cards nimbly with his fingertips, and suddenly asked, "How is it similar?"
"Uh, the eyes look a bit like..."
They were a pair, Bai He had naive lychee eyes, while Yan Yi had cold phoenix eyes.
My cousin added, "My mouth seems a little bit..."
Yan Yi's lips are as thin as a blade, but Bai He's lips are cherry-like.
“Uh uh uh…”
My cousin was sweating profusely.
A card was swept out from Yan Yi's fingertips and landed right in front of his eldest cousin. He smiled lightly and said, "It's just a joke. Don't be nervous. We are not siblings."
"Ah... no wonder..."
Bai He glanced at Yan Yi and found that he seemed to be showing off today.
Are you in a bad mood?
"They are not biological siblings." Su Xiaojing whispered to her cousin about their relationship, and her cousin nodded repeatedly.
Yan Yi had a cold aura that gave him an indescribable sense of oppression, so he stopped talking to him.
I originally thought that Qi Lang and Princess Ji would come together, but unexpectedly, only Princess Ji opened the door.
She was dressed very refreshingly for summer, a sweet and spicy black tank top with short denim hot pants, a devil lace accessory around her neck, and her makeup also matched her clothes, with a small black heart drawn at the corner of her eye.
"Hello." After she came in, she greeted everyone enthusiastically, "Is this the car with 'Xia Meng Awakening Song'? Qi Lang's friends."
"Yes, please come in." Su Xiaojing, who is also from E, greeted her warmly, "Wow, you are so beautiful."
"Thank you, you are beautiful too."
"My name is Su Xiaojing, what's your name?"
"My name is Li Xun."
"She is Bai He, that is her brother Yan Yi, and this is my cousin Pang Yi." Su Xiaojing introduced everyone enthusiastically.
Bai He smiled at her, and Li Xun also raised her lips.
After she entered the room, she looked around and found a table with six seats. Bai He and Yan Yi were sitting on one side, and there was an empty seat next to Bai He.
Su Xiaojing sat next to her cousin, and there was also an empty seat next to her cousin.
The only two remaining vacancies...form the furthest angle.
She looked at Bai He, and Bai He looked away immediately after their eyes met. Girls don't need too many words, just one look and they understand.
She sat directly next to her cousin, bringing with her a scent that instantly made her cousin nervous.
Any straight man would be nervous and at a loss when such a beautiful woman sits next to him.
"Are you siblings?" She looked at her cousin and Su Xiaojing, then at Bai He and Yan Yi. "You're siblings... you're all relatives, and you're playing a game of love?"
"Does it matter?" Bai He asked courageously.
"Sister, have you ever played the emotional book?" Li Xun seemed experienced.
Bai He shook his head.
"We're going to be in a relationship, and even have some intimate interactions. Wouldn't it be awkward if I got a romantic partner with a relative?"
Su Xiaojing patted her cousin on the shoulder and said, "I don't care. There's no such thing between me and my brother, hahahaha."
Bai He looked at Yan Yi: "It doesn't matter to us..."
There will be no awkwardness between her and Yan Yi no matter what.
Seeing that most people had arrived, the host DM walked in and asked everyone, "Do you know everyone in this car?"
"Yeah, almost." said the eldest cousin, "We are all friends."
"Because this is a romantic drama, to avoid embarrassment, let me ask, are there any couples here?"
Li Xun quickly raised her hand: "Yes, he and I are a couple."
She pointed to the empty seat next to Bai He.
"Oh, because before the game you have to fill out a questionnaire to help you find the most suitable role. Do you mind if the couples are split up?"
Before Li Xun could say anything, Yan Yi suddenly interrupted: "Don't mind, just divide the roles according to your original personalities."
DM looked at Li Xun, who was of course a man of his word, and quickly said, "But I want to be with my boyfriend! What should I do? Please, everyone, can you bear to break us up?"
Su Xiaojing got goosebumps.
This clip sound is so good at acting coquettishly. Is Qi Lang eating this recently?
The older cousin said generously: "I just came here to hang out and play with my sister, it doesn't matter."
Only Yan Yi and Bai He were left, and they didn't fall for her coquettish and trickery.
Under the table, Bai He's hands clenched her skirt. Yan Yi shook her hand calmly, his eyes icy as he glanced at Li Xun: "Players' personalities should be tailored to their characters' personalities. There's no reason to force others to choose characters that don't suit them just to accommodate you."
Li Xun sensed the smell of gunpowder in the boy's eyes.
The fees have already been paid, so she basically came here for free, so it's not easy for her to be picky in other people's games.
But she didn't want to compromise. She came here today just for Qi Lang, so how could she give him up?
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, DM swallowed and said, "How about... wait for another friend to come and ask him what he thinks?"
"Okay, Qi Lang is here, let's ask him who he wants to pair up with."
Li Xun sat down and threw her phone on the table, expressing her somewhat unhappy mood.
