Chapter 2 Translation
Chen De and Bai He stood beside the swing in the garden, with a gentle breeze and soft moonlight.
Neither of them spoke first. Chen De's square face was already flushed red. At first glance, he looked a bit like Guan Gong, but he was too shy to speak.
Bai He didn't say anything either. He lowered his head and peeled off the dead skin next to his fingernails, his face also flushed red.
It was so embarrassing.
The confession scene between the two introverts is like hell.
Chen De finally spoke, his voice trembling: "Whenever you go back, I'll take you back."
"No need, Qi Lang and I live in the same neighborhood, so it's convenient for us."
"Oh, I almost forgot, you have a pretty good relationship with him."
"Well, what are you going to say?"
"I...I..." Chen De scratched his head, his face as red as cherries, and he couldn't say anything.
Bai He also prayed that he would never say it out loud.
It's really annoying.
Finally, Chen De took out his phone: "I'll send you a message."
"Well."
After saying that, he turned his back, walked to the flower bed opposite, sat down, and edited the text message seriously.
Bai He: “…”
In fact, Bai He understood him very well. If she were to confess to someone, she would probably be a thousand times more annoyed than Chen De.
Chen De spent a full ten minutes editing and still hasn't finished writing. It seems that he has had quite a rich mental journey.
Bai He leaned on the swing frame, lowered his head and edited the rejection text in the memo.
At this moment, Qi Lang came out and without waiting for Bai He to react, he hugged her around the waist and pulled her into his arms: "Sayuri, do you want to date me?"
"…ah?"
Chen De stopped typing rapidly and looked up: "Huh???"
"We're so familiar with each other, you won't have the heart to refuse, right?"
Bai He looked at him closely. His dark eyes were hidden under his straight brows, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, revealing a frivolous and lazy expression.
"I just broke up, you know."
She smelled the fresh lemon scent on him, her chest pounding against the wall, her ears completely red: "I... I..."
What the hell is he doing!
"After graduation, it's not a bad idea to try some new things you haven't tried before." He looked at her with his deep black eyes, "Would you like to try it with me?"
Bai He looked at Chen De who was stunned over there, and instantly understood what Qi Lang meant.
As friends for so many years, they have a 100% tacit understanding. Qi Lang came out to help her out.
"Yeah, okay!" she nodded.
"Okay???" Chen De was completely dumbfounded. "No, why, why did you agree to this?"
Qi Lang hugged her tighter, and her whole body pressed against his hot and hard chest.
He stared straight at Chen De, as if to pin him down: "What's your problem?"
"This...this...is too hasty, Bai He. Is it because we know each other so well that you can't refuse? You can't do this. Dating is a serious matter."
"You can see what kind of character she is. Can't you see that she is not interested in you?"
Chen was speechless: "Uh...I..."
"Sayuri and I have known each other for over ten years and we know each other very well. Excuse me, what qualifications do you have to say that we were careless in our relationship? Who do you think you are?"
Qi Lang is usually a "good student" who is "kind to others", but if you offend him, he will be merciless.
Bai He is his Achilles' heel.
Over the years, he had plucked as many peach blossoms as she had, destroying them ruthlessly and without mercy, in a rude, unreasonable and arrogant manner.
Chen's face flushed red, he felt embarrassed and had nothing to say.
Bai He pulled Qi Lang's sleeve hard, asking him to stop talking. This scene was too embarrassing... There were so many people around watching them!
Her toes are cramping!
The graduation party lasted all night, but Qi Lang and Bai He went home early.
The main reason was that Qi Lang had a falling out with the squad leader, and it was all because of her that Bai He was too embarrassed to stay any longer. Her scalp tingled when she saw Chen De.
Fortunately, we have graduated and we won’t have many chances to meet in the future.
This place is not far from Senyu Community, and there is a straight road along the coastline. The two of them walked home. The moonlight shone on their two black shadows, one tall and one short, separated by half a person's distance.
The summer breeze is gentle, carrying the scent of sea salt, and the pleasant sound of the waves hitting the rocks can be heard in my ears.
Bai He lowered her head, sometimes looking at their overlapping shadows, and sometimes tilting her head to look at him.
When he turned around, she immediately looked away, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Why are you peeking at me?"
"Uh, let me ask you something."
"You want to ask about the confession you just made..."
She took a deep breath, made up her mind, and interrupted him: "For the last multiple-choice question in English, you chose B, right?"
“…”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Her eyes were full of anticipation.
Qi Lang frowned: "Just asking this?"
"Forget it!" Bai He covered his ears like a lunatic. "Don't answer me! Really, I don't want to know!"
"Besides that, is there anything else you want to ask?"
"Did Andy really say the second question in the listening section?" she cried, "But I chose Tony! I'm screwed!"
“…”
It was as if she had forgotten her promise to be his girlfriend. She was entangled in the affairs of ANDY and Tony all the way. Qi Lang entered the Senyu community, sent her downstairs, and stabbed her mercilessly -
"For the last single choice, don't choose B. Choose C."
"Ah! Ahh ...
Qi Lang put one hand in his pocket and turned to leave. Bai He quickly grabbed him from behind: "Qi Lang, you are kidding me!"
Qi Lang raised the corner of his mouth mischievously: "Come to my house tomorrow and I'll tell you what to choose."
"So C isn't the right choice!" She grasped at a glimmer of hope.
Qi Lang leaned over, leaned close to the girl's ear, and whispered softly, "Remember, don't tell Yan Yi."
Watching his tall figure gradually disappearing into the night, Bai He sighed, his mind full of choices C and B.
I turned around and saw Yan Yi's thin shadow on the balcony of my house on the fourth floor.
He was watching them.
…
"Ding" the elevator door opened, Bai He walked out, and a warm light shone from the end of the dim corridor. Yan Yi had already opened the door and was waiting for her.
He and Qi Lang are of similar height, but Yan Yi is smaller than Qi Lang. Qi Lang's well-proportioned muscles are like those of a male model. Yan Yi also has muscles, but he looks very thin when he puts on clothes. He is not as tall and strong as Qi Lang.
"You're back." He welcomed her into the house and took out her little rabbit sandals from the shoe cabinet.
"Eh? You didn't go to the party with your science classmates today?"
"I thought Uncle Bai's store would be doing good business, so I went to help him. But he said he would be busy all night and was worried that you would be scared to go home alone, so he asked me to come back and wait for you."
"Oh, you're quite nice."
She changed her shoes, took off the black lace scarf from her neck, and threw it on the sofa. She picked up the iced Coke on the coffee table and gulped down a few sips. "It's so hot."
The burn scar on the side of his neck was revealed, like a mottled reef emerging from the calm sea.
Ugly, hideous...
So no matter winter or summer, she always wears a black scarf to cover her scars.
This scar was caused by a burn in a fire when he was ten years old. The fire burned down several houses in the tube-shaped building. Regardless of the risk to his own life, Yan Yi's firefighter father threw Xiao Baihe out of the room. She landed on the fire cushion downstairs and saved her life.
However, Er Yi's father was crushed by the falling beam and was unable to escape in time, and lost his life.
Yan Yi's mother died of illness less than a year after giving birth to him. When he was nine years old, his father also died. He became a complete orphan and lived with relatives. His life was extremely difficult.
During the two years he lived under someone else's roof, he became increasingly taciturn and less willing to laugh.
Later, the relatives moved out of Nanxiang City with their family. They didn't want to take Yan Yi, the little burden, with them anymore, so they sent him to Bai He's house, saying that his father died saving Bai He, and their family had to be responsible for the child no matter what.
Bai He's parents were grateful to Yan Yi's father, so without hesitation, they let Yan Yi live in their home and took on the responsibility of taking care of him.
Over the years, Bai He's parents have jointly run a night market restaurant, earned some money, and bought a house in the school district. Although they are not rich, they live a comfortable life and raising two children is not a problem.
Because her parents worked at the night market, they were always out late and back early, often staying out all night. Bai He was particularly afraid of ghosts, so she would often stay alone in bed, shivering with the lights on, until dawn.
Yan Yi came to this family and became Bai He's savior!
This house is in the city's school district and is near the sea. It's of high quality and was purchased at a high price. Bai He's family used all their savings, plus some money from relatives, to buy this small two-bedroom apartment. It has a master bedroom and a second bedroom, and there's no extra room, so Bai He had to give up her room to Yan Yi.
It was a small room divided into two by multiple layers of wooden boards. Bai He lived in the inner room and Yan Yi lived in the outer room. Bai He had to go through Yan Yi's room to enter and exit. The small door could be locked, but Bai He never locked it because he was afraid of ghosts.
When she was a child, she even ran to Yan Yi's room in the middle of the night with a small pillow and slept in the same bed with him.
He is more than a year younger than her, and Bai He treats him like her own brother.
Later, as they grew up, Yan Yi learned to avoid suspicion and no longer let Bai He go to his room. Bai He also knew that this should not be done, but she still did not dare to sleep alone, so she always kept the door open. As soon as she called his name, he would answer, and he would not be afraid anymore.
Of course, adolescence isn't without its awkward moments. Several times, Bai He had wandered into the house without a second thought, only to find Yan Yi's pants half-undone and quickly yank them back up.
Bai He quickly covered her eyes, felt the wall and walked back to her room, loudly declaring: "Sister, I didn't see anything!"
Actually, I saw everything.
Yan Yi has fair skin, a great figure, and a lot of abdominal muscles.
Fortunately, Yan Yi never blamed her. He said to her, "If I'm in the room and the door is closed, you have to knock, okay?"
"But it's so troublesome to knock on the door every time I enter my room."
"I don't always close the door, only when I change clothes..."
"Then you can lock the door so that I can't come in and won't disturb you while you're changing."
Even though he said so, Yan Yi never locked the door, because this was Bai He's home. Even though he had already considered it his own home, but...having lived under someone else's roof since he was a child, Yan Yi knew in his heart that -
Have a sense of proportion.
…
Bai He collapsed on the sofa as soon as she got home. Yan Yi put the slippers she kicked off on the side of the sofa.
Bai He stretched out her hand to him lazily. He hesitated for a second and then held her soft little hand.
She pulled him to sit next to her and rested one leg comfortably on his lap: "Ayi, you have no idea how embarrassing today is! I really...ahhh, I won't be able to attend class reunions anymore!"
Yan Yi's eyes moved down and saw her fair feet touching his...
He wanted to hold her feet and move away slightly but...
In the end, he didn't move.
Yan Yi listened patiently to her story about how the squad leader Chen De confessed his love to her today, and how Qi Lang helped her out.
His bony fingers fell to her neck, stroking the burned skin on her neck and observing the depth of the scar.
Bai He felt a little itchy and pushed his hand away: "Are you listening to me?"
"Listen, did you know before that the monitor liked you?"
"I just found out today!" Bai He grabbed his arm and said excitedly, "Do you know how he confessed to me? He called me outside and sent WeChat messages to me face to face! I knew he was introverted, but I didn't expect him to be so shy!"
"Speaking of others, you're no different. Last semester, there were rumors that you and Qi Lang were having an affair. You went to the teacher's office to defend yourself, and you even had to type out your essay in your phone's memo and memorize it before you gave your speech."
Bai He blushed immediately. "I, I, I... I was trying to express myself better, to make my analysis clear and logical."
"She started crying after reciting less than three sentences, and I had to say it for her."
“…”
Bai He is just like that, she cries easily when she gets excited, and she'll cry after just a few words when arguing with someone, she's just a walking tear bag...
She was so angry that she threw a pillow at him. Yan Yi took the pillow and fought back, wrestling with her and tickling her armpits.
"Hayi, you're dead!"
Bai He pounced on him and pressed him down on the sofa. When he was a child, he was in poor health and never beat her in a fight. Although he has grown up now, Bai He still feels that Yan Yi is a little brother in front of her. Until he pressed her down on the sofa, no matter how she struggled, she couldn't move.
Only then did she feel the powerful life force in his bulging arm muscles.
He has become a mature teenager and is no longer the pale child in my memory.
Bai He moved slightly and looked at his arm across his chest: "Ayi, it hurts..."
Yan Yi then realized that his arm was pressing on her small and delicate chest. He quickly moved away, his ears flushed: "I'm going to read a book."
After saying that, he got up and went back to his room.
"You've already finished the college entrance exam, what are you still reading?"
"I borrowed a few medical books from the library. I want to preview what I'm going to learn at university."
Bai He knew that Yan Yi had always wanted to be a doctor. This had been his dream since childhood. In addition to studying, he often went to the library to borrow some medical and biology books.
Bai He sometimes woke up late at night and found that the night light in the next room was still on and he was reading under the lamp.
It’s really curly.
If Qi Lang is a gifted academic who can get high scores just by flipping through books, then Yan Yi is a truly hardworking academic who puts in a hundred times harder effort in places that others cannot see.
Bai He didn't care about Yan Yi anymore. The college entrance examination was over, and her brother had no chance of getting involved with her.
She took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower. She found that her period had come a week early. She was secretly glad that it didn't happen during the exam...
While searching the empty bathroom cabinet, Bai He remembered that the sleeping pants she had just bought were still in Qi Lang's schoolbag and she forgot to take them!
“Hayi, Hayi!”
Yan Yixiu's slender figure appeared beside the frosted long rainbow door of the bathroom, and he said helplessly, "Did you forget to bring a change of clothes again?"
"No, I'm on my period. Can you please go to Qi Lang's house for me? I forgot the necessities I bought in his schoolbag."
