Chapter 15 Triangle
"Can you please like me for just one minute, just like you like him?"
He only needs one minute, that's all.
This is his wish.
But Bai He didn't know how to fulfill his wish or how to like him for even one minute.
However, for the sake of the game's completion and the character experience of Yanyi, she was willing to cooperate.
She secretly found his hand under the table, spread out his warm palm, and wrote a word on his palm -
"good."
The next second, Yan Yi held her hand, and the two of them held hands intimately under the table for a minute.
She and Yan Yi had held hands before, but this time was very different, because this time they were holding hands as a couple to express their love, which was completely different from the sister-brother relationship in the past.
Bai He's earlobes blushed, and she let go of him for fear of being noticed.
There's the thrill of having an affair.
She looked around, fortunately no one noticed their little action.
Except...Qi Lang.
Qi Lang looked at her, then at Yan Yi. The tacit understanding between the three of them who grew up together was incomparable to ordinary people. He could see at a glance that there was something fishy in the expressions of the two people. There must be something fishy behind this.
However, the plot immediately moved on to the next part, and he no longer paid attention to this matter.
After the relaxation, the plot took a sharp turn for the worse.
Bai He committed suicide, Yan Yi died for love, and Qi Lang eventually became the kind of person he hated the most. He lost his youthful edge and lived like a walking corpse.
And Li Xun, wearing Bai He's pure white dress, sat in the bright and clean classroom, completing her studies for her and also living out the rest of her life for her...
Although it was quite cliché, the characters were quite consistent with the four people's personalities, so they were quite immersed in the play and cried when they needed to cry, especially the two girls, who used up a whole box of tissues.
The time when Li Xun cried the most had nothing to do with the love line, but with her and Bai He's best friend line.
In order to protect her, Bai He was stripped and molested by several hooligans. Fortunately, he was rescued by Yan Yi who arrived in time.
Since then, Bai He seemed like a different person...
At first, Li Xun didn't know the reason and blamed Bai He for not treating her as a friend. She spoke ill of her and even deliberately did intimate things with Qi Lang so that she could see them. She was heartbroken and ended up on the rooftop.
But... when she learned the truth about Bai He being molested from her friends, it was already too late.
Bai He jumped down from the rooftop.
Yan Yi avenged her by killing the hooligans who bullied her, and then committed suicide by cutting his wrists, dyeing the whole bathtub of water red.
Having lost her most beloved boy and best friend at the same time, Li Xun cried so hard that she almost fainted. She left her seat and ran over to hug Bai He.
The two girls hugged each other and cried, wiped each other's tears, and promised to be good friends in real life and not hurt their friendship for the sake of a boy.
They even added each other as WeChat friends while crying.
Qi Lang frowned as he watched from the side.
Do you want to substitute it this way?
Girls shed so many tears, but he didn't feel anything anyway. It was more interesting to play the reasoning game.
Two dead and two injured, the game comes to an end.
Finally, DM asked them: "After going through so much, if you had the chance to do it all over again, would you choose to continue pursuing the unattainable white moonlight, or would you look back at the person who has always stood behind you?"
"No need to say it out loud. Everyone, write down your answers on a small piece of paper and hand it to me. This directly affects whether your final outcome is a be or a he. Please think carefully and consider who you want..."
With heavy hearts, everyone picked up their pens and wrote small notes and handed them to DM.
After looking at the answers on everyone's slips, DM announced the final result:
In addition to the happy ending of Su Xiaojing and her cousin, there is another couple among the other four who can have a happy HE ending.
When these words were spoken, everyone was a little shocked.
I didn't expect that in the absolute BE ending of double death and double rebirth, there would still be a glimmer of hope.
"What's going on?" Su Xiaojing asked curiously, "Who had a happy ending with whom? Stop keeping us in suspense! I really want to know!"
dm took another look at their little notes, and finally, he lit the extinguished candle in front of Bai He, and dm tied a red string for her and Qi Lang.
"You two finally overcame all difficulties and came together."
"But wasn't I dead?" Bai He said blankly.
DM glanced at Qi Lang: "He resurrected you."
"You can still be resurrected!"
No need for DM to explain, Yan Yi has already seen through the answers on everyone's notes -
"Li Xun's note said she had no regrets, so she and Qi Lang died; Bai He also wrote that she had no regrets. If she regretted it, she could choose me and I would be able to revive her, but she didn't. As for Qi Lang..."
Everyone's eyes turned to the boy in the black T-shirt.
Qi Lang flicked the character card in his hand lightly and said frankly, "I regret it."
Bai He opened his eyes wide, his heart racing at 800 mph...
Su Xiaojing clutched her head and screamed, "Oh my god! You regret it! You actually regret it! You abandoned your Bai Yueguang and chose... You chose Bai He! What kind of beautiful love story is this?!"
Qi Lang glanced at Bai He and said nonchalantly, "If she really likes me as much as Benli does, only a fool would not regret it, and I'm not stupid."
Su Xiaojing was completely ignited, and kept winking at Bai He: "Fuck, fuck, fuck! This is a perfect time to confess!!"
Bai He was flustered. Under the table, she clutched her skirt tightly, causing wrinkles.
She wasn't sure if he was serious or joking.
Yan Yi immediately interrupted them: "That's why my sister didn't choose me either."
It's rare to see... a bit of a coquettish tone.
Bai He found him so cute when she saw him like this. She smiled and pinched his face: "I won't choose you, so what?"
"I like you so much, it's so sad."
"Okay, don't be sad, just get out of it." She stood up and stretched. "I'm so hungry, let's go eat."
"What do you want to eat?" Yan Yi smiled and took her wrist.
"Eat barbecue!"
"I have a date with a friend tonight, so I won't be having dinner with you." Li Xun added all of them on WeChat one by one. "It's nice to meet you all, especially Sayuri."
As she spoke, she hugged Bai He. Bai He was also reluctant to leave her: "Keep in touch in the future and make plans to play together."
"Yeah! Of course." She whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I won't steal the boy you like. Not in the script, and certainly not in real life."
Bai He was suddenly startled, and a surge of emotion welled up in her heart. She quickly lowered her voice and said, "Actually...it doesn't matter. He doesn't like me anyway."
"He'll regret it," Li Xun said with a smile. "He doesn't even know what he wants. When he figures it out, he'll realize what he's missed."
"Hey, what are you two whispering about?" Su Xiaojing asked curiously.
"Nothing." Bai He walked back to her and took Xiao Jing's hand.
Li Xun walked up to Qi Lang and said frankly, "I think it's more appropriate for us to be friends."
Qi Lang smiled and said lightly, "I think so too."
…
The triangle is stable and is an unbreakable universal truth.
Less than half an hour after Li Xun voluntarily withdrew from the dog-licking food chain, Yan Yi turned back into the same Yan Yi as before.
Her previous words of helping Bai He pursue Qi Lang were taken back by him, just like a daughter who got married just one day and then started asking to go back to her parents' home.
While eating barbecue, he took the initiative to sit next to Bai He, separating her from Qi Lang.
When Bai He took the initiative to pick up some food for Qi Lang, his plate reached out first and took away the pork belly she had roasted for Qi Lang.
"Thank you, sister."
"Uh, you're welcome."
Qi Lang glanced at Yan Yi with disdain, feeling that the annoying quality in this boy had returned.
Yan Yi didn't meet his gaze, and his eyes were always focused on Bai He.
Instead, Qi Lang took the initiative to grill a piece of beef rib for Bai He. Bai He kept this piece of beef rib until the end and was reluctant to eat it, chewing it in small bites each time.
Even the silly cousin noticed some undercurrents between the three of them and asked Su Xiaojing quietly, "What's the relationship between the three of them?"
"Brother and sister, sister and brother." Su Xiaojing answered more accurately.
The eldest cousin was confused: "Huh?"
"To be specific, the relationship in the script is exactly the same as their relationship in real life."
"Zundu, fake!" My cousin's eyes widened, his Northeastern accent emitting, "Do the three parties involved know about this?"
Su Xiaojing rolled his eyes. "The one in the middle doesn't know. The one at the top of the food chain doesn't seem to know either. Only the one at the bottom... seems to have a million and a half eyes and knows everything."
Bai He saw the brother and sister whispering to each other and asked quickly, "What are you talking about? Can't you tell us?"
"We were talking about what happened at the comic convention the day before yesterday. When there were outsiders around, the three of you were more united than a rope. But once it was just the three of you, the internal conflicts seemed to keep coming."
Bai He also noticed this problem. She said, "I haven't had any conflicts with them. It's just Yan Yi and Qi Lang who don't get along."
"We've been friends for so many years even though we don't get along so well."
Qi Lang sneered and said, "This guy has such a bad temper that he has no friends except me and Sayuri. He's like a dog-skin plaster that you can't get rid of him."
Unwilling to be outdone, Yan Yi fought back: "I was acting with my sister, and someone was just being stubborn and trying to play with us."
"I met her before you came to Sayuri's house. At that time...you had lost your father and your relatives didn't want you. You looked quite pitiful. Otherwise, who would care about you, a weird and naughty child?"
"Even if my relatives no longer want me, it's better than some people's ferocious relatives who want to kill me."
"What are you talking about!"
Qi Lang clapped his chopsticks, and Yan Yi stood up directly: "Just said it, so what."
Seeing that the two of them were about to flip the table and fight again due to a disagreement, Bai He quickly grabbed them and forcibly pulled them back to their seats: "Didn't we agree before that we can quarrel but not expose each other's shortcomings?"
Yan Yi muttered sullenly, "He spoke first."
Qi Lang placed one hand on the table, raised his chin, and said arrogantly: "I said it, so what."
"Qi Lang!"
Seeing that Bai He was a little angry, Qi Lang suppressed his anger, said no more, and just lowered his head to eat.
The cousin and Su Xiaojing quickly made jokes to ease the atmosphere, just like a Northeastern duo act. After a while, Qi Lang and Yan Yi started talking again, chatting about the latest NBA games, as if the argument just now was over.
No matter how much they quarrel or make a fuss, the three of them will never bear a grudge.
This is what best friends should be like.
At the end of the meal, Yan Yi asked Qi Lang, "You don't have any feelings for that Li Xun?"
Upon hearing this, Bai He quickly looked at him.
Qi Lang put down his chopsticks and said nonchalantly, "Maybe I've been in love too much. No matter how beautiful a girl is, after looking at her... she just seems so-so."
As he spoke, he pinched Bai He's cheek and said, "Not as good as our little Sayuri."
Bai He pushed his hand away: "What you mean is that I'm not pretty."
"I didn't say that. Your face is different from theirs."
"Why is it different?"
"Whatever I say, I spend more time with you than with my mom, and I've grown to like you."
Qi Lang raised his head and looked at the lonely Nanxiang Mountain standing in the sunset. "Just like that mountain, no matter how the world changes, it will always be there. This makes me feel at ease."
So, girlfriends come and go, but Sayuri is always there... and there's even a buy-one-get-one-free deal where I get an annoying extra translation.
The three of them are the unchanging iron triangle.
Bai He fell silent after hearing his words.
She thought to herself, do I have to stay behind him forever so that he can see me whenever he turns around?
A little sad.
Suddenly, Yan Yi spoke up: "There's an idiom called 'Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain'. The mountain won't always be there. Maybe one day when you look back, it will have been moved away by someone with good intentions."
"What? You want to be the one who moves the mountain?" Qi Lang raised his eyebrows.
"Who knows?"
"We'll talk about it when we can move it."
The two of them were chatting in riddles with each other. Bai He didn't care at all about the meaningless topic they were arguing about, and concentrated on roasting the zucchini.
The cousin and Su Xiaojing looked at it in amazement.
What a great show.
The older cousin whispered to Su Xiaojing, "Do you just play with those three all day long?"
"Yes, we have been friends for many years." Su Xiaojing ate the zucchini that Bai He picked for her.
"No, haven't you ever thought about getting involved and becoming a food chain or something?"
"Help, please spare me. I'd rather be a bystander." Su Xiaojing shrugged. "Besides, I can't get in."
The eldest cousin quickly played his relative role and said to Yan Yi and Qi Lang, "We're graduating now, can you introduce a date to my younger sister? Do you have any connections?"
When talking about this, Bai He became excited: "Yes, there are ready-made resources, my brother. My brother is not bad, he is a good match for Xiao Jing."
Yan Yi frowned and nudged her with his knee.
Su Xiaojing smiled and said, "Forget it, brother. You're a minor, and I'm so guilty. If I want to have a relationship, I have to get started."
After saying that, she made an evil gesture of grabbing grandma.
Bai He was amused by her and leaned on Yan Yi: "Forget it, my brother is still young, a pure boy, not suitable for you."
Qi Lang said: "Xiao Jing wants to have a relationship, come to me for introduction, I have a lot of friends."
Su Xiaojing: "Uh, are they all friends like Master Qi?"
Yan Yi couldn't help but retort: "As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together."
"Don't say that about Qi Lang." Bai He said righteously, "His friend, although he's from the same nest as him, must be in good condition. You can introduce him to me."
Qi Lang reached out and rubbed her head: "For a moment, I didn't know whether you were praising me or insulting me."
Bai He smiled happily: "Of course, I'm praising you!"
Qi Lang stretched his long legs under Yan Yi's stool and flirted with her casually: "I have a few friends who are all from the same nest, some of them are handsome. How about it, Xiao Baihe, are you interested? I'll introduce you to some."
He glanced at Yan Yi and said, "You'd better not hang out with this brat all the time. If they end up becoming orthopedic brothers, your parents will be so pissed off."
Bai He was immediately choked by the spicy pepper and started coughing.
Yan Yi grabbed the back of Qi Lang's collar and pulled so hard that he almost fell: "Can you speak normally?"
Fortunately, Qi Lang's chassis was stable and he didn't actually fall to the ground.
He pushed his hand away: "You really want to fight me today."
The two of them were about to fight again after a disagreement, and Bai He quickly persuaded them: "Okay! Stop making fun of me and my brother!"
After eating barbecue, the three said goodbye to the Su brothers and sisters and went home.
On the way back, Bai He received a call from her mother: "My daughter, mom and dad are closing the stall now."
"It's so early today!"
"There's an emergency at your uncle's house, and Mom and Dad have to rush over to deal with it. They bought plane tickets urgently, so they won't be home for the next few days. You and Yan Yi should lock the door at home. Go buy groceries and cook for yourself during the day. Don't let Mom and Dad worry, and don't order unclean takeout."
"Ah! Why aren't you coming back? What happened?"
"It's okay, don't worry. Your uncle and aunt are fighting and getting a divorce again. This is an adult matter. Just stay out of it. Take care of yourself and your brother."
"Oh, okay."
After hanging up the phone, facing Yan Yi's curious gaze, Bai He said helplessly: "Mom and Dad went to my uncle's house. They may not be back in the next two days. It's just the two of us."
"It's okay." Yan Yi said, "I'll take care of you."
"I'll leave the cooking to you. I know nothing about it, but I can be in charge of the grocery shopping."
Qi Lang, who was standing by, saw the situation and felt something was wrong.
There's no one at home tonight, just the two of them...
His cerebellum is yellow.
"Yanyi, come sleep at my house tonight." Qi Lang said, "Let's play games together in the evening."
Before Yan Yi could refuse, Bai He heard that and said, "That's fine!" He quickly said, "No! You took my brother away, what should I do!!!"
"Lock the door at home and call us if you have any questions."
"Then I... I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
“Afraid…afraid of that…”
"Which one?"
Yan Yi said calmly, "She is afraid of ghosts."
Normally they shared a room separated by wooden boards, and she didn't even dare to close the door when sleeping.
Qi Lang: ...
Bai He held Yan Yi's arm tightly and dragged him back home, refusing to let him go to Qi Lang.
When the two returned home, their parents had already come back and packed their luggage. There was a thousand yuan under the ceramic cup on the table, which was the living expenses for the siblings for the next few days.
This was the first time Yan Yi had to live alone with her for a few days. Although her parents usually didn't come back until the early hours of the morning, she was still under the care of her parents.
It would be impossible for Yan Yi to say that he didn't feel a little bit agitated in his heart, but he managed to suppress it.
"You go take a shower first." Yan Yi said, "I'll take a shower after you take a shower."
"Oh, okay." Bai He took a clean nightgown and went to the bathroom.
"What do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll go shopping in the morning."
"I'll go with you."
"Can you get up?"
"Uh, uh, uh, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Bai He went to the bathroom and did not lock the door as usual. Yan Yi paced around the living room restlessly, wanting her to lock the door, but was afraid that saying this would make her feel bad.
In fact, she really should lock the door when taking a shower and sleeping...
Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it.
Yan Yi went back to his room to read.
After a while, the doorbell rang and Yan Yi got up to open the door.
Qi Lang stood by the door holding his multifunctional neck pillow and gave him a carefree smile.
"Baby, let's sleep together tonight."
