Chapter 29 Green Scarf
That night, Bai He slept peacefully.
Because of the alcohol, her dreams were all as light as if she was floating in the clouds. In her previous dreams, she would always see Qi Lang standing in a distant halo. She would run towards him, but no matter how she ran... she could not get close to him.
Unable to catch up with him, she could only watch him from afar and see him smiling at her.
When he woke up, Bai He felt a soreness in his chest.
But this time, there was no sour feeling. This time she caught up with Qi Lang, and he even reached out to her.
Bai He held his hand, and the real touch seemed to still linger in her palm even after she woke up.
It was he who changed his mind at the last minute and applied to her university, which made her feel for the first time that she was no longer the one chasing after him;
Or was it because he watched her fall asleep last night...
Qi Lang seemed to be taking the initiative to approach her.
Bai He's slightly drunk and beautiful dream also became a little drifting.
When I woke up the next day, the sky outside the window was bright and the sun was shining.
Checking the time on her phone, it was already noon, so she hurriedly put on her slippers and walked out the door.
The living room was quiet, shaded by white gauze curtains, through which sunlight shone faintly.
Bai He pushed open Yan Yi's room and found that this guy had not yet gotten up, but was sleeping soundly on the bed with his head covered.
Out of courtesy, she stepped out and knocked on the door: "Yi, are you still sleeping?"
A dazed voice came from the room: "Hmm."
"Can I come in?"
He hummed again in a deep voice.
Bai He pushed the door open and walked in. Yan Yi was lying on the bed. He seemed to feel too hot and had taken off his shirt. He didn't even cover himself with a blanket, so his entire back was exposed in front of her.
It is white and pleasing to the eyes.
Yan Yi's skin is a little whiter than other girls', and it is also very delicate, with almost invisible pores.
Such tight and strong muscles, even as a sister, I couldn't control myself a little when I saw this almost perfect male body.
She covered his bare back with a blanket, sat on the edge of the bed, and pinched his ear: "This is the first time I see you sleeping in, Xiao Yanyi, get up quickly."
"Um."
He hummed like a sleepy puppy, opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at Bai He, "Cute."
He pinched her face and went back to sleep.
Bai He was stunned for a moment.
The word "cute" was like popping candy, jumping and flying into her chest.
In an instant, my heartbeat accelerated.
Then, she realized belatedly that she was being teased by this guy?
This guy is the type who flirts without realizing it. He usually looks honest and doesn't actively pursue girls. But if he really wants to flirt with girls, I'm afraid Qi Lang is no match for him.
Bai He thought, when he goes to college, this guy will be so popular. The girls who like him will be crazy about him.
Thinking of this, Bai He felt a little sad, as if the daughter he raised was finally getting married.
She rubbed Yan Yi's head vigorously and said, "Wake up, wake up, wake up. If you stay in bed any longer, you won't be able to go to Shark Island."
Yan Yi didn’t know what happened today. He turned into a little kid in an instant and couldn’t wake up no matter what he did.
Bai He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him. He even secretly opened one eye to peek at her expression.
"Don't you want to travel to Shark Island?" Bai He asked.
"think."
"Hurry up! If you're late you won't be able to buy a ferry ticket!"
Yan Yi buried his head in the pillow, nudged it like a puppy, and mumbled something incoherent: "Can't you... comfort me?"
Bai He almost couldn't believe her ears. This was the first time she heard such coquettish and naughty words from the mouth of the stable and precocious Yan Yi.
"How do I coax her?" Bai He asked.
"You can't even coax your brother. Have you been a sister for so many years in vain?" He poked her.
Bai He was speechless, thinking that Jian Ni would never coax Qi Lang like this. It seemed... she doted on this kid too much.
"I don't know how to coax people!" Bai He said desperately, "Get up! Get up! Get up!"
Yan Yi rolled out of the bed and stretched himself.
Wow, this stretch of her waist is so beautiful and sexy that Bai He is almost suffocating.
Yan Yi, the girl she raised, became so sexy and alluring?
Ah no no, I can't be seduced by this underage brat. Bai He slapped him on the back, leaving a five-fingerprint on his cold white skin: "Get up!!!"
Yan Yi turned around and faced her head-on, showing her his eight-pack abs.
Bai He couldn't bear to watch and turned his eyes away: "Don't make me rush you. If you don't get up, I will leave by myself without you."
Yan Yi put one hand behind his head and glared at her: "Give me a massage and see if you can wake me up."
"Okay, I'll give you a massage." After saying that, Bai He grabbed his ear and twisted it hard.
"Ah, it hurts!" Yan Yi screamed, "It really hurts, Bai He!!"
"Call me sister!"
"No."
"Scream or not, scream or not!"
Yan Yi was really stubborn. Even his ears were pulled red, but he still refused to give in stubbornly: "Bai He, don't think that I'm afraid of you just because I'm giving in to you."
"You're still rebelling..."
The next second, Yan Yi turned over and pressed her down on the bed, grabbing her hands with one hand and tying them above her head.
When he got serious, Bai He's small arms and legs were no match for him. She was pinned under him and completely at his mercy.
"You're going to rebel, you little brat."
Yan Yi looked down at her condescendingly, pinching her cheek with his rough fingertips: "Beg for mercy, beg for mercy and I will let you go."
"Don't even think about it!"
Yan Yi had plenty of ways to subdue her. He picked up a bunch of her hair and tickled the wings of her nose.
"Ah Yanyi, ah~~~" She began to twist her body.
"Beg me." Yan Yi's eyes gradually turned deep, "Sister, beg me..."
"No!" Bai He was tougher than him, so how could he let this little brat take control of him? "Just wait for Yan Yi, just wait!"
"If you continue like this, I will really punish you." Yan Yi pinched her waist, "If you don't obey, you will be punished."
The next second, the door was kicked open from behind.
Yan Yi turned around and saw that Qi Lang's face was terribly gloomy. He walked in, pushed Yan Yi away, and pulled Bai He up from the bed.
"You two siblings, are you having fun this early in the morning?"
Although he spoke in a joking tone, Qi Lang's eyes did not hold a trace of smile. He was extremely cold and took a protective posture, protecting Bai He behind him.
This gesture deeply offended Yan Yi, so he stood up and confronted him...
He is not yet an adult and is slightly shorter than Qi Lang by one or two centimeters, but this does not affect the stable and uncompromising aura of the two people at all.
Yan Yi tried to pull Bai He back to him, but Qi Lang grabbed his hand to stop him.
Bai He felt that the two of them were on edge, unlike the quarrels and fights they had last night.
Someone is really angry.
She quickly said, "Qi Lang, Yan Yi and I were just joking, it's okay."
"Just kidding..." He looked at Yan Yi, "How can you guys joke around like this?"
Yan Yi said casually: "None of your business."
"Yan Yi." Bai He scolded him, "Don't talk like that."
Sometimes, she thought this boy was docile and obedient, but sometimes, he was really rebellious and arrogant!
There's nothing wrong with joking, but if you take it seriously, it will hurt feelings.
Seeing Bai He's increasingly serious expression, Yan Yi took a deep breath and said, "It's just a joke."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room. After a while, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Qi Lang turned around, straightened the girl's fluffy and messy hair, and said helplessly: "No matter how good your relationship is, can you at least have some sense of propriety? Just now, when I was standing outside, I thought you two were really playing some kind of play."
"You have all these thoughts in your mind all day long, that's why you have so many random thoughts." Bai He thought it was nothing. She and Yan Yi were used to fighting like this since they were young. It would be a pity if they didn't fight every day, but it didn't affect their relationship.
Qi Lang frowned and said, "Don't you think he sometimes..."
He paused for the last few words and didn't actually say them.
Bai He asked, "What?"
"nothing."
If he told her this, she might get angry. Sometimes, Qi Lang really felt that Yan Yi was a little crazy.
To be precise, it is the ultimate gentleness...perverted.
…
It was a rare occasion for Qi Lang to cook breakfast, and the eggs he fried were almost mushy. Yan Yi was so disgusted that he didn't eat a single bite.
Bai He listened and ate a few bites out of courtesy. Finally, Qi Lang couldn't stand it anymore and took the plate away to prevent her from getting a stomachache. He then used his phone to order three takeout meals of braised pork rice to fill his stomach.
Bai He was eating while checking the ferry ticket on his phone.
"If we go now, we definitely won't be able to catch the 12 o'clock boat. We can only buy tickets for the 3 o'clock boat."
Yan Yi said, "Then it's three o'clock. Let's buy it."
Bai He: "Use my phone to buy it?"
Yan Yi put down his chopsticks and looked at her: "You buy it first, I'll return the money to you later."
Bai He: "It's not about whether to pay it back or not! You seem so reserved."
Seeing her awkward smile, Yan Yi understood: "You don't even have enough money in your card to buy a ferry ticket?"
Bai He said with a sad face: "It's true that my savings are not much anymore."
"Don't you make a lot of money working part-time during the summer?"
"Well, I bought a gold bracelet for Mom, so I don't have much left." Bai He said guiltily, "I used the remaining change to draw cards."
Translation: ...
Okay.
He took out his phone and was about to buy the tickets, but Qi Lang put down his phone: "I've bought them. Three tickets for 3 pm."
Yan Yi and Bai He looked at him at the same time.
Their eyes met, and Qi Lang said confidently, "What are you doing?"
Bai He: "Yesterday I asked you if you were going, and you said no."
"Change your mind, okay?"
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"I suddenly wanted to go."
It was true that I suddenly wanted to go, mainly because... I felt that Yan Yi was getting bolder and bolder. Before, he just secretly had some thoughts about her, but at least he could hide them.
But since graduating from high school, Qi Lang felt that this kid was becoming more and more restless.
He was a little worried about Bai He.
Qi Lang has always known what Yan Yi is thinking...but because of their sibling relationship, he didn't have the courage to do it.
Judging from a series of recent performances, Yan Yi is becoming more and more bold.
Qi Lang felt uncomfortable.
Yan Yi said, "I didn't book your hotel."
"It doesn't matter." Qi Lang shrugged. "If you have money, why worry about not having a room?"
Bai He thought for a moment and said, "If we travel together, the three of us will have to A. Qi Lang, you have to record all your expenses and transfer them every day."
Qi Lang found it troublesome, and instead of settling the bill, he would rather treat everyone to a meal. However... if he wanted to stay with Bai He for a long time, he had to follow this little girl's rules.
"Okay." He said lazily, "But you have no money, so how can you be an A?"
"Uh, I can borrow it from Yan Yi temporarily."
"After all, you two are still a family, and I am an outsider."
"We are family." Yan Yi said coldly, "Why are you dissatisfied?"
Qi Lang glared at him, his eyes seemed to say: "You'd better really be family with her."
Just as the two were arguing, Bai He received a call from Su Xiaojing.
"Ahhhh! Bai He, you're not loyal enough. You and Yan Yi went to Beili City ahead of time without telling me! I've been waiting to go with you."
"I didn't know. I'm sorry, Xiaojing!" Bai He said quickly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier if you were waiting for me?"
"I thought you knew even without me telling you...what our relationship is." Su Xiaojing pinched her philtrum. "Never mind. Ever since you had that jerk brother, our relationship has faded, faded."
Translation: "Which bastard brother?"
Su Xiaojing: “?”
Su Xiaojing: "Why are you playing loudly?"
Bai He quickly turned off the speaker: "No, no, no, no, no, no, where are you now?"
"I'm already in Kitasato City. I came here overnight last night. If I hadn't met your mother before, I wouldn't have known that you and Yan Yi had left."
"So where do you live now?"
"I live with my eldest cousin. He does business in Beili. Where do you live?"
"Yan Yi and I are staying at Qi Lang's house. We're going to Shark Island later."
"You two?"
Bai He looked at Qi Lang, who was already using his phone to look for a hotel: "Uh, there are three now."
"Haven't you set off yet? I want to go play too!"
"Sure, let's book a ferry to Shark Island at 3 o'clock. You should also book one online. We'll meet at the ferry at 2:30."
"Okay! Then I'll clean up quickly."
…
After lunch, the three of them took a taxi to the harbor ferry.
It was not until Yan Yi opened the car window for ventilation and the wind blew in that Bai He felt a chill on her neck. She touched her neck and found that she had forgotten to wear her lace neckband!
She was drunk last night and didn't know whether Qi Lang or Yan Yi took it off for her. She didn't remember it when she woke up in the morning.
She pulled Yan Yi's sleeve, pointed at her neck, and looked a little panicked.
Wearing a neckband in the summer and a silk scarf in the winter has become Bai He's standard. Suddenly, without this thing around her neck, it feels like...
It feels like wearing a skirt and going out without underwear in the summer.
She felt unwell and subconsciously covered her neck with her left hand.
Yan Yi took out his cell phone and looked at the itinerary. The car was already halfway there, and it might be too late to go back.
"When we get to the pier or Shark Island, they should be selling scarves."
Bai He nodded.
Qi Lang, who had been looking down at his phone, noticed from the corner of his eye that she had been covering the burn scar on her neck with her hand and said, "As long as you don't care, others won't pay too much attention."
When he said this, he didn't even raise his head, which made Bai He feel a little safer.
In fact, the person Bai He cares about most is sitting next to her.
He was chatting with someone the whole time, and the ding-dong beeps of WeChat notifications never stopped. Bai He took a quick glance and saw a lot of red dots on his WeChat interface. They were all messages from other people looking for him. He didn't even click into the dialog box because they were messages he didn't even want to read.
Bai He looked carefully and found that almost all of them were WeChat avatars of girls.
However, he was chatting with Jian Ni at the moment. Jian Ni asked him to report safety every night. She promised her aunt to keep an eye on him and not to flirt with girls randomly. The island was a mess, with many fallacious jobs and even possible honey traps.
Qi Lang replied with a speechless emoticon.
Bai He thought, Sister Jian Ni really knew him well.
Suddenly, Qi Langman's careless voice came -
"Is it okay for you to peek at me if I don't peek at you?"
Bai He subconsciously retorted: "Who peeked at you!"
"You've been peeking at the screen, thinking I'm blind?"
Her face flushed, but she still refused to admit it: "Can I just look at the scenery?"
Qi Lang pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth and threw the phone over: "If you want to see it, then see it openly. You gossipy person..."
Seeing that he had handed her the phone, Bai He thought it would be impolite not to look at it, so she took the phone and entered WeChat. She scrolled down, but couldn't reach the end.
Damn, so many people are looking for him! All of them are girls.
Most of them are just greetings from strange girls I added on the street.
"Qi Lang, why are so many girls looking for you!"
Qi Lang: "How should I know?"
"You don't reply to any of them?"
"Do I look idle?"
"No, if you don't want to reply, why did you add them in the first place?"
"People mustered up the courage to come to them on their own initiative. It would be rude not to add more."
“…”
He has always been a scumbag in a refreshing and refined way.
"So, if you don't reply after adding me, what's the point of keeping me here?"
"I don't know, just keep it."
"Save it for the Guinness record?"
Qi Lang glanced at her and said, "Your idea is quite creative. I'll think about it."
Bai He returned the phone without saying anything.
His world is always bustling.
However, Bai He noticed that although many people were looking for him, Qi Lang had one pinned to the top.
The small group [Liangshan Heroes Trio] was pinned by him.
…
At the ferry ticket office, Bai He met Su Xiaojing and her cousin who had just bought their tickets. The two girls hugged each other. Su Xiaojing no longer held a grudge and no longer blamed her for leaving her and running to Beili City first.
But Yan Yi was quite vindictive. The first thing he said when he saw her was, "Who are you talking about, you bastard brother?"
"Ah, this, this..." Su Xiaojing laughed and pointed her finger at Qi Lang, "I'm talking about him!"
Qi Lang put one hand in his pocket and asked Bai He nonchalantly, "Do I look easier to bully?"
Bai He smiled and said, "I should say you look more gentle."
"Gentle?" Qi Lang took out a small mirror from his pocket and looked at his handsome face.
"He actually carries a small mirror with him!" Su Xiaojing whispered in Bai He's ear, "He's so conceited."
"All handsome guys are like this." Bai He has gotten used to it.
"No translation."
"Yan Yi's mirror is in my bag." Bai He said with a smile.
At this time, my cousin Pang Yi took a ticket from the self-service ticket machine, walked over, and said in a Northeastern accent: "My friends, see you again!"
"Hello, cousin." Bai He said with a smile.
"He came here from his hometown to start a business," Su Xiaojing explained. "He opened a Northeastern Chinese restaurant near our school. Everyone is welcome to patronize his business."
"Great!" Bai He said, "I'll definitely come and try my cousin's cooking when school starts!"
The eldest cousin smiled and said, "Your skills are not bad, but when will school start?"
"New students will report starting on August 25th."
"That should be in time." The older cousin said, "My shop is still under renovation, and I was thinking of bringing Xiaojing along to play. We'll be busy once school starts."
"So, cousin, you are the big boss?"
"Not really, I just worked a few years ago and saved some money, so I started a small business." The cousin blushed a little, and suddenly saw Bai He's neck, "Sister, what's wrong with your neck? Oh my, how did it become like this? You're such a good girl, this is too..."
Bai He quickly covered his neck.
Su Xiaojing hurriedly pushed her older cousin and said dissatisfiedly, "You're the only one with sharp eyes, right? Come on, let's go line up first."
Su Xiaojing took him to the front entrance to queue up and winked at Bai He apologetically.
Bai He said it was okay.
Before boarding the ship, Bai He made an excuse to go to the bathroom and looked around the pier. There were many vendors selling seasickness patches and seaside souvenirs, but no one selling scarves. Because it was midsummer, there probably wouldn't be any tourists buying scarves or the like.
There is no other choice but to go to Shark Island and take another look.
She returned to the queue and found that Yan Yi and Qi Lang were gone.
Su Xiaojing said: "Yan Yi went to the bathroom, as for Qi Lang..."
She nodded and said, "Here, look for yourself."
Bai He followed his gaze and saw Qi Lang chatting and laughing with a few girls at the rocky railing on the coast.
“…”
Su Xiaojing whispered to her, "A dog will always eat poop."
Bai He said, "Don't say that. Girls are not daddies, but he is a real dog."
After a while, the cruise ship blew a whistle and the tourists in line boarded the ship one after another.
Su Xiaojing saw Bai He leave the queue and said, "Aren't you going to get on the boat?"
"You go up first, I'll wait for the translation."
"Oh, okay, then my cousin and I will go up first and take a position with a good view."
"Um."
After hearing Su Xiaojing talk about the injury on Bai He's neck, the cousin felt quite apologetic and wanted to come over to apologize to her several times, but Su Xiaojing held him back, saying that Xiao Baihe would not mind and that a formal apology would be embarrassing, so she pulled him onto the boat.
Bai He sent a message to Yan Yi, asking him why he hadn't come back yet as the boat was about to set sail.
As soon as the message was sent, Yan Yi ran over panting, his chest heaving, sweat on his face, and his black printed T-shirt was soaked with sweat on the chest and back.
"I almost missed it." Yan Yi was still frightened.
"Don't worry, there are still a lot of people queuing up. It won't open for a while."
Yan Yi pulled out a newly bought green silk scarf from his pocket and carefully tied it around her neck. "It's a little ugly, but there's no choice. I bought it in a hurry. I'll see if there's anything prettier when we get to Shark Island."
Bai He touched the smooth silk scarf around her neck in surprise: "Where did you buy it? This area is so deserted, there is no store..."
"I just took a taxi and saw a jewelry store. It's not far away. I can get there in five minutes by swiping a shared bike."
Looking at the hot sweat on his body, I wonder how fast he is riding under the scorching sun.
Bai He felt extremely distressed and wiped the sweat from his forehead and nose with the back of her hand: "Silly boy, there's no need. You can buy it when you get to Shark Island."
"What does it matter?" Yan Yi tied the scarf into a bow, perfectly covering the ugly scar on her neck. "It looks good."
Bai He felt wet in her heart and clenched his hand tightly: "Thank you."
"Between us, we don't say thank you."
He led Bai He onto the boat. Bai He didn't look back, so she didn't see Qi Lang holding a lace neckband that he had persuaded his sister to buy...
She ran back excitedly, but had to watch Yan Yi put the brand new green scarf around her neck.
