Chapter 28 Beach
There was a stylish silver Mercedes parked in the underground garage, although Bai Heyan declined Jian Ni's suggestion to take them there, saying that he would find a car to go to school and didn't want to trouble others.
I really can't stand the ferocious enthusiasm of the Niu people from Jian Ni Society.
She held Bai He's arm affectionately with one hand and grabbed Yan Yi's sleeve with the other, dragging them both into the car.
Bai He looked back at Qi Lang, who shrugged at her, indicating that he was helpless as well.
He had already declined to let his cousin come to pick her up. The three of them were free to go wherever they wanted. Unfortunately, Jian Ni had no one to date today and was extremely bored, so she had been waiting at the train station an hour in advance.
The car door opened, Bai He and Yan Yi sat in the back seat, Jian Ni drove, and asked Qi Lang to sit in the passenger seat.
Qi Lang didn't want to sit alone, so he had to go to the back row and squeeze together with the siblings. Bai He sat in the middle, and Qi Lang and Yan Yi sat by the window.
Yan Yi despised him very much and told him to get out rudely.
Qi Lang said confidently, "This is my sister's car, get out."
Jian Ni turned around and said, "Xiao Qi, how can you say that? Brother Yan Yi means more to me than you, my brother. It's not certain who will get out."
"You've only known him for a few minutes." Qi Lang got into the car, closed the door, and fastened the back seat belt for Bai He.
"Although we've only known each other for a few minutes, I have a feeling that he and I must have been like White Snake and Xu Xian in a past life. Today is our reunion at the Broken Bridge, where we'll renew our past relationship. Please don't disturb us."
Qi Lang sneered: "You are a talent to be able to interpret the four words 'lust for beauty' so elegantly and elegantly."
Yan Yi had nothing to say and just looked at the scenery outside the window in silence.
But Bai He immediately fell in love with this witty, humorous and passionate sister.
Although her sister's outgoing nature makes her, a socially anxious person, feel very stressed, but when a group of people get together, the atmosphere will be relaxed and lively with Sister Jian Ni around.
This relaxed and lively atmosphere made Bai He feel safe.
If people around her are on edge, she will also feel nervous; if the atmosphere becomes awkward, Bai He will be the first to dig her toes into the ground.
Therefore, among Bai He’s friends, except for Yan Yi who has a cold personality, the others are all sunny, such as Su Xiaojing.
"So, what's the relationship between you three?" Jian Ni drove onto the airport expressway and looked curiously at the three people in the back seat through the rearview mirror. "Is it like those cliché TV dramas where he loves her and she loves him?"
Qi Lang rested his head comfortably on the cushion, closed his eyes and took a nap, saying leisurely, "It's hard to say about the two of them."
"Huh?"
Thinking of what Yan Yi had just said, Jian Ni's gossip spirit burned fiercely, "Aren't they brother and sister?"
"Yes, but not by blood."
"Ah, this, this... is it so taboo?"
Suddenly, Yan Yi's face darkened: "Can you please stop joking with us?"
"Well…"
Jian Ni sensed his hidden anger, so she stopped smiling and stopped talking about the topic.
It's also strange. This boy looks the youngest, but... he has a strong aura and gives people a feeling that he is not easy to mess with.
In reality, Bai He didn't mind these jokes, but Yan Yi's attitude was too blunt, which made her feel socially awkward. She quickly explained, "Don't mind, Sister Jian Ni. Yan Yi is a straightforward person. We are a family that grew up together and have the same relationship as siblings, so it's best not to make such jokes."
Jian Ni realized her offense and apologized profusely, "I'm sorry, I thought you were just friends, but I didn't expect you were siblings. It's my fault. I'll treat you later. Let's go to the beach for a barbecue."
"It's okay, it's okay." Bai He waved his hands quickly, "Sister Jian Ni is here to pick us up, it's our turn to treat you."
"Well, don't be polite, I'm the host."
Seeing Yan Yi's cold expression, Qi Lang walked over Bai He and reached out to pat his leg: "You're really angry."
"No, don't touch me." Yan Yi used her knee to block his hand.
Qi Lang said to Bai He, "Yan Yi is never happy. He has a sullen face all day long, as if someone owes him a million or eight hundred thousand. I've never seen him smile in his entire life. Do you think he was cursed when he was born so that he can't smile?"
In fact, Bai He also discovered that Yan Yi only smiled when he was alone with her. When there were other people around, especially Qi Lang, Yan Yi always seemed unhappy.
He seemed to hate Qi Lang, but in fact he didn't. Whenever Qi Lang had conflicts with others or even fought with others, Yan Yi would stand on his side unconditionally and be on the same side with him, regardless of whether he was right or wrong.
If a boy wants to rush over and beat Qi Lang up, he must first ask Yan Yi's fist if it agrees.
So, even though the two of them always quarreled and even fought, they never held grudges. After school, Yan Yi would still come to the liberal arts class to wait for them to go together. When buying milk tea or fried chicken strips, Qi Lang would also take the initiative to pay for three people.
Bai He heard Qi Lang's sarcastic tone and whispered, "You know his personality. Don't always make things difficult for him, okay?"
Qi Lang glanced at her and said helplessly: "Okay, you are the only one who protects your child."
The car drove into the city, and Jian Ni asked Bai He, "By the way, where should I take you? Is it Beili University?"
"Yes! Just drop us off at the north gate of Beili University." Bai He looked at the map. "There's a pedestrian street nearby. There should be quite a few hotels. Let's book a hotel near the school for one night."
Jian Ni frowned and asked, "Are you staying in a hotel?"
Bai He explained, "Because we came here more than ten days early and haven't started school yet, Yan Yi and I plan to stay near the school today and take the ferry to the island for a trip tomorrow."
Jian Ni smiled and said, "That's not that difficult. Just go to Qi Lang's loft apartment. There are plenty of rooms anyway, so we don't have to spend money on a hotel. Besides, there aren't many good hotels near the school. They're all rooms for student couples to have sex, and they're not very clean."
Bai He asked curiously, "What is a cannon?"
Before he finished speaking, Qi Lang kicked the chair in front of him with his leg, his voice tinged with anger; "Don't say this in front of my friends."
"What's the big deal?" Jian Ni couldn't understand. "We're all adults, okay?"
"They are still young, just like you, an experienced driver."
Jian Ni saw that Qi Lang was really angry and said with a tut, "You're too protective of her. I don't even believe you when you say she's not your girlfriend."
Qi Lang sneered: "Don't stay here and tarnish our pure friendship."
"I don't believe in pure friendship between men and women. Anyway, I feel like there's something wrong with you three."
"Think what you will. Your thoughts are not important."
"You stinky boy! You're rebelling."
Bai He didn't want them to continue this awkward topic, so she quickly asked Qi Lang, "Do you have a house in Beili?"
"I have an apartment," Qi Lang said. "It was a college gift my mom gave me after I enrolled in Beili University."
"Wow! Auntie is so nice!"
"My mother always talks about wanting to see you. If you have time, go to Hong Kong City and take you to meet her."
Bai He said happily, "Great! I also want to ask Auntie for her autograph."
Qi Lang's mother is the ballet queen, Bai He's most admired world-class ballet dancer. She used to love watching her "Swan Lake" and "The Nutcracker" ballets. After she burned her neck and couldn't wear her beautiful dance costumes, she could only watch these videos over and over again to satisfy her eyes.
When Yan Yi heard them talking about meeting the parents, he suddenly said, "Does your mother have to meet every one of your friends?"
Qi Lang heard the hidden meaning in his words and replied, "Not every friend. For example, my mother is not very interested in meeting you. She is only interested in the girls around me."
"Really? If she sees one a day, I'm afraid she won't be able to see them all until next year."
Qi Lang was angry: "Yan Yi, do you want to fight today?"
"If I wanted to fight, you would be down by now."
"Come on, give it a try."
The two of them had a disagreement and started fighting again.
Bai He was stuck in the middle and was in great pain. He quickly unbuckled his seat belt and wanted to climb to the passenger seat to avoid the conflict between the two men.
Jian Ni quickly said, "Hey, hey! That's enough! Stop fighting in my car."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, she cursed, "Damn it, brainless male creatures, besides fighting, don't you have any other way to vent your excess hormones?"
Bai He could only hold Yan Yi down and press his clenched fist on his wrist: "Alright, alright, stop hitting me, Yi, be good."
Yan Yi was breathing heavily, but he was suppressed by Bai He and had no strength to break free. He stopped and took several punches from Qi Lang in the abdomen.
Bai He said angrily, "Qi Lang, you are not allowed to hit Yi anymore!"
When Qi Lang saw him stop, he withdrew his hand and said sarcastically, "That's all you need."
"Qi Lang!!!" Bai He kicked him and avenged Yan Yi.
"Okay, you two siblings are teaming up to mess with me, right? You're a family, I'm leaving!"
"Go away." Yan Yi said, "Get out of here right now."
Qi Lang: "Believe it or not, I will take your sister away too."
"Try it."
Qi Lang tidied up his wrinkled clothes politely and said, "Little brat, I'll deal with you when we get back."
"I'll stick with you till the end."
Although the two of them were cursing each other, they finally stopped.
Jian Ni and Bai He looked at each other through the rearview mirror. As both were sisters, they actually felt a tacit understanding of sympathy for each other.
…
The car drove into a high-end apartment complex in the city center.
It is surrounded by a bustling business district, but the community is not noisy at all. It has its own internal roads, which are built like the lake area of an art park. It has good greenery and a great atmosphere.
There is only one high-end apartment building in the community, with a glass facade surrounded by it, reflecting the warm evening sunlight, giving it a very modern feel.
Jian Ni drove the car into the underground garage and led them upstairs. The elevator led into the house and into the room. The view was excellent, with the entire bay in sight.
Bai He walked to the 270-degree floor-to-ceiling window and opened his mouth in amazement.
Yan Yi walked over to her. She pointed at the sparkling sea and said to him, "Ayi, it's so spectacular! I've never seen the sea from this angle before."
It seems that owning this apartment is like owning the entire bay.
Yan Yi asked her, "Do you like this kind of house?"
"I like it. I envy Qi Lang so much. He can live in such a nice house when he goes to college. He doesn't have to live in a four-person dormitory at school."
Jian Ni said, "My aunt was worried that he wouldn't be able to get used to living in the dormitory, so she bought him a house like this. It's very close to the school, only a ten-minute walk away."
“It’s such a blessing.”
This was also Qi Lang's first time in this apartment, but Jian Ni had sent him a video of the room a while ago to see if he was satisfied with the exquisite decoration of the house.
Qi Lang didn't feel much. He grew up in a pampered environment and was used to such a superior environment. He was even tired of it and didn't think it was that good.
But seeing how much Bai He liked it, with envy and joy in her eyes and brows, Qi Lang felt an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart, and he also started to like this house a little.
Great material abundance will not bring him any happiness at all. For him, happiness lies in sharing.
Therefore, he never hesitates to be the extravagant host at various parties or dinners, nor does he hesitate to give expensive gifts to his friends.
He enjoys the relaxed interpersonal relationships and pleasant atmosphere that this sharing brings.
However, the only two people in the world who are unwilling to share his generosity without limits are Yan Yi and Bai He.
They wouldn't always let him treat them. If he treated them once, they would definitely treat him back next time. Qi Lang wouldn't give them overly expensive gifts on their birthdays, because they would definitely return the favor with gifts of equal value. He didn't want to see Bai He suffer the misery of eating pickled vegetable porridge in the cafeteria for a month straight just to get a birthday gift.
It's not that they are being polite, but they don't want him to suffer any loss, nor do they want to take advantage of him all the time.
But the contradiction is that they are the two people with whom Qi Lang is most willing to share everything.
"I've reserved two rooms for you. You can come and stay overnight at any time," said Qi Lang.
Bai He: "Great!"
Translation: “No need.”
The brother and sister said opposite things in a tacit understanding, and looked at each other strangely. Qi Lang said, "Oh, just leave one room for Bai He."
After a few seconds, Yan Yi spoke awkwardly: "Then, leave one for me too."
How could Qi Lang miss such a good opportunity to humiliate others? He deliberately prolonged his tone and said with a smile: "What? I didn't hear clearly. Yan Yi, what did you say to leave for you?"
Translation: ...
Yan Yi: "I didn't hear about the reckoning."
Qi Lang: "Then call me Brother Qi Lang and let me hear it. I'll think about it."
Translation: "Don't even think about it."
Qi Lang: "There's no room for you."
Yan Yi: "It's okay, Bai He and I are in the same room."
Qi Lang: "You have to have some shame."
Bai He said indifferently: "I have no objection."
Anyway, she wouldn't come to stay here all the time. She might just come and stay here occasionally if she plays outside too late and there's curfew in the dormitory.
Anyway, she might not be there when he is.
Qi Lang said speechlessly: "It's up to you."
…
I packed my luggage and settled into the room.
Qi Lang only kept three rooms, and the rest were function rooms, including a game room and a stereo surround home theater.
Bai He asked Jian Ni: "Sister Jian Ni doesn't live here?"
"I don't live here. I have my own house. Living with him... I can't stand it."
"Who can't stand who?" Qi Lang counterattacked.
In the evening, Jian Ni took them to the beach for a barbecue. A friend had invited her, so she put down the phone and asked Bai He and the others, "Do you want to go to a bar later? I have a few friends coming over too. Let's hang out."
Bai He looked at Yan Yi, and Yan Yi said that it was up to him whatever she wanted.
Qi Lang said, "No, I've been on the train all day and I'm exhausted."
"That's fine. Don't you have to go traveling tomorrow? Go to bed early at night." After saying that, Jian Ni went to pay the bill, said goodbye to them and left.
After dinner, the three of them walked on the beach for an hour.
Bai He secretly filled a mineral water bottle with sea water. When Qi Lang wasn't paying attention, she attacked him from behind and squeezed the bottle to spray the water on his back.
"Depend on!"
Qi Lang cursed, turned around, and saw Bai He giggling so hard that she couldn't even support her waist.
He took off his shoes, stepped on the soft sand, and rushed over to grab the little girl by the collar: "Are you crazy?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Bai He apologized repeatedly. Just when Qi Lang was about to let her go, she sprayed the remaining water in the bottle on his face, turned around and ran away with a smile.
"You little bitch, you're still excited, aren't you?"
Qi Lang was really angry this time. He chased after the girl in a few steps and put her down under him. Seeing that she was still smiling, he grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at her face.
The next second, Yan Yi rushed over and pushed Qi Lang away: "Don't touch her."
He pulled Bai He out of the sand, but unexpectedly, the little girl grabbed a handful of sand without distinguishing friend from foe and threw it on Yan Yi's face.
Translation:?
Bai He ran away with a smile, and even turned back to make faces at him.
Now, the alliance has turned into hostility.
Yan Yi spat out the sand in his mouth, and together with Qi Lang, they surrounded Bai He, attacking him from the left and right. Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, Bai He quickly raised his hands high to admit defeat and surrender.
"I was wrong, brothers, I, I, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Lang pulled her into the sea. Yan Yi bent down, scooped up some water with his hands, and splashed it on her.
"Ah! You two! You're in business, huh?"
Bai He's hair was wet. She fought back desperately, splashing water on them. But she was no match for them and soon she became a drowned chicken. She stood in the sea in a mess, looking like she couldn't bear to cry or lose.
"Damn it! I'm breaking up with you!"
Yan Yi panted heavily and exchanged glances with Qi Lang. Suddenly, Qi Lang splashed water on Yan Yi's face. He then ran away, laughing as he ran: "Idiot."
Yan Yi was not willing to be outdone, so he grabbed a handful of sand and chased after him, grabbed Qi Lang's collar and stuffed it into his collar.
Bai He was about to cry because of their bullying, but she saw these two people actually started fighting each other again, wrestling on the beach, and the fight was fierce.
She quickly seized the opportunity, filled her mineral water bottle with sea water, chased after them and splashed them, bending over with laughter.
After an inexplicable melee, the three people seemed to have returned to their unbridled childhood.
Later, the three of them were so tired that they didn't even have the strength to speak. Qi Lang sat down on the sand and pulled Bai He to sit down with him.
At first, Bai He almost fell on his legs, thinking that he was going to suppress her again, and struggled desperately. Qi Lang simply spread his legs and pulled her into his arms: "Truce."
He panted, his breath coming out hot, "Slowly..."
Bai He simply found a comfortable position to sit down, but she didn't expect to be sitting in his arms with her legs open. She wanted to run, but he pulled her back: "Don't try to attack from behind, you are my prisoner now."
“…”
Bai He didn't have the strength to run anymore, so she could only sit like this, with her back against his hard chest, stiffly. To feel more comfortable, she tentatively leaned the back of her head against his collarbone and pressed forward with all her strength.
Qi Lang supported himself on the sand behind him with his hands and breathed deeply. He seemed not to notice the little girl's subtle changes in movements, or perhaps he noticed but didn't care.
So Bai He leaned peacefully in his arms.
After a while, Yan Yi came over with a mineral water bottle full of water.
Bai He was afraid that he would ignite the war again, so he quickly patted the seat beside him and said, "Stop playing, truce, truce! Come and rest for a while."
Yan Yi looked at the postures of the two people, frowned slightly, thought for a while, then lay down with the back of his head resting on Bai He's thigh.
When he lay down, all the stars in the sky fell into his eyes.
The evening breeze is cool, and fishing lights are dotted on the distant coastline.
He felt the girl's hand gently stroking his hair. Of course, this was the caress from a sister... but the waves in Yan Yi's body were no weaker than the tides pushing towards the shore.
"Ayi's hair is very soft, like a kitten's hair." Bai He commented.
Qi Lang's warm breath patted her neck from behind: "You touched mine."
So Bai He reached out and rubbed Qi Lang's short hair. The roots of his hair seemed very hard and the hair strands were also much thicker.
"Yours, like the stubble of a short-haired puppy."
"He is the cat and I am the dog?" he asked dissatisfiedly.
"You're a dog."
Qi Lang snorted and looked down at his phone. Bai He was held in his arms, and his phone screen was right in front of her. She wanted to avoid it politely, but she couldn't.
There was a red reminder of 99+ on the WeChat message, but Qi Lang didn’t even click on it.
It’s normal for him not to reply to messages. Maybe most of them are group messages, but there must be many girls looking for him among them.
Being his pursuer, object of affection, or lover can be really tiring.
Bai He absolutely doesn't want it.
It’s best to be friends, so that if he doesn’t reply to her message, he can explain to her that it’s because he didn’t see it.
If we become lovers, with his natural scumbag temperament, I'm afraid there won't even be any explanation.
Bai He saw him open the food delivery app, as if he wanted to order a barbecue supper.
After playing around for a while, the three of them were a little hungry. Bai He watched him order and reached out to poke at the dishes without any hesitation: "I want shark fin and small yellow croaker. What do you want, Yi?"
Before Yan Yi could say anything, Qi Lang interrupted: "He eats farts."
“…”
Bai He nudged him with his elbow and said protectively, "Stop bullying him!"
Yan Yi said, "Bai He, please help me order."
Bai He ordered his favorite chicken tips and palm treasures for him.
Qi Lang sneered coldly: "The word 'sister' is hot on your tongue, right? How do you say it? I don't call you sister when I'm younger..."
Yan Yi interrupted him abruptly: "Are you looking for death again?"
Qi Lang: "Come on, I'm just recovering my strength."
Bai He: ...
"Can you please be quiet for a while? I'm so annoyed!"
Thanks to Bai He's angry suppression, the war was not reignited. The three of them sat on the beach, enjoying the gentle sea breeze.
After a while, the barbecue was delivered and Qi Lang also ordered beer.
However, Bai He had seen how he could not hold his liquor, so he only let him drink a few sips and then stopped him.
Yan Yi and she didn't care and drank one cup after another. Qi Lang didn't stop them. Anyway, he just had to stay sober and they could drink as much as they wanted.
He was the oldest of the three and was supposed to watch over them and protect them like a parent.
"Do you remember when we were in the first year of high school and we went to the mountains to watch fireflies?" Bai He suddenly recalled an old memory.
"Remember." Qi Lang said, "I'll take you there."
"It was dark, and I was stuck in the forest and couldn't find the way out. I even alerted my parents, who called the police."
Yan Yi mocked, "I don't know which idiot came up with this plan to lead us into the forest after dark."
Qi Lang: "Fireflies don't wait until dark to see, try finding one for me during the day."
"Don't you know it's easy to get lost in those woods at night?"
"The guide didn't mention it, it only said there were fireflies in that area. Do you know how hard it is to find a forest with fireflies these days? I'm not just trying to fulfill Sayuri's sixteen-year-old wish."
Yan Yi said to Bai He, "So the end result of letting him make the plan is to put everyone in danger."
Bai He: “…”
She really had nothing to say to them.
Because they grew up, the two little male parrots she raised started to fight by pecking each other's feathers after they reached sexual maturity. One of them even had all the feathers on its head pecked off.
Girls can love each other like they did when they were children, like her and Su Xiaojing, but boys cannot.
It's really... boring.
The three of them stayed at the beach until midnight, and were slightly tipsy. Qi Lang and Yan Yi argued with each other all night. In the middle of the night, they went to the bathroom together and had a fight on the way. Yan Yi's nose was broken, and he came back to Bai He to complain in a wronged mood.
Bai He touched his face dizzy and blew on it with heartache.
At midnight, the three of them returned home to settle down.
Bai He Yan Yi was drunk, but not unconscious, otherwise Qi Lang would really find it troublesome. He was not as virtuous as Yan Yi, who would change his underwear after he got drunk.
The three of them took turns taking a shower and went back to their room to sleep.
Bai He's room faces the sea, and the warm and moist sea breeze is blowing, but it is a bit hot, so she simply closes the window and turns on the air conditioner.
She turned off the lights and went to sleep, feeling a little scared...but she couldn't be so pretentious as to go look for Yan Yi. Yan Yi had drunk more than her and might have already fallen asleep unconscious.
Bai He covered his head and slept for a while, but still felt uneasy. He opened the door of his room, peeked out, and wanted to secretly open Yan Yi's room door a crack.
In this way, she could sleep with the door open and he would wake up when she called him.
You will feel more secure.
But unexpectedly, when I walked out, I saw someone sitting on the sofa in the living room downstairs.
The moonlight outside the French window outlined his slender figure. She subconsciously called out, "Ayi?"
Qi Lang's voice came, lazy and weary——
"Your Ah Yi has been sleepwalking for a long time."
"Qi Lang, why aren't you asleep yet? What are you doing here pretending to be a statue so late at night?"
Qi Lang lay on the sofa, rubbed his eyes that were almost unable to open, and said lazily -
"Aren't you afraid of ghosts? I'll sleep after you fall asleep."
