Chapter 4: Get Behind Me
While Mom and Dad were taking a nap in the room, Bai He and Yan Yi had their lunch quietly.
In the afternoon, Yan Yi was reading in the room, and Bai He was sitting at his desk putting on makeup.
He shifted his gaze to the side and saw the little girl holding a powder brush, painting her eyelids, and wearing a black scarf around her neck as usual.
In addition, she also wore a necklace, which was Qi Lang's birthday gift to her when she was twelve years old.
Beating heart.
The crystal sparkles and shines brightly.
The necklace is already very old, but she still takes it to the store to be cleaned from time to time and always wears it...
Yan Yi looked down at the balance on his phone. Soon, he would be able to buy her a real diamond necklace.
"Does your stomach still hurt?" he asked.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Bai He patted the powder off her face. "Ibuprofen really works wonders."
"Are you going out later?"
"Um."
"With whom?"
"He said he couldn't tell you."
Bai He applied eye shadow on the corners of her eyes and blinked a few times before realizing that she had made a stupid mistake.
"Why couldn't you tell me when you went out with Qi Lang?"
"Well…"
He was still flipping through the book, seemingly unconcerned: "You look good even without makeup."
"If you're going out, pack up a bit."
"Where are you going with him?"
"Go to his house."
"Um?"
Anyway, Bai He has already let the cat out of the bag, and trying to cover it up will only make it more obvious. Besides, she doesn't think this should be a secret.
She confessed, "Qi Lang told me to go to his house and try something new. I guess he bought a new game cartridge."
"Add me in." Yan Yi said, "I haven't played games for a long time."
"Qi Lang said he can't add you."
"Why?"
"He said it was just the two of us. I guess that game is meant for two people. If you go, you'll have to sit there and watch us play. I'm so sorry."
Yan Yi's gaze withdrew from the pages of the book, gradually turned deeper, and frowned at Bai He: "Did he break up yesterday?"
"Yes." She didn't notice the change in Yan Yi's tone and mood, and was putting on false eyelashes in front of the mirror.
"reason?"
"For some reason, that girl wanted to apply to the same university as him, but he said she was boring and a psychopath."
Yan Yi's hands wrinkled the pages of the book and his face darkened.
Bai He carried her small bag and walked out the door: "Ayi, I'm leaving first. Call me if you need anything."
"Will you come back for dinner tonight?" He quickly stood up and sent it out. "Uncle made the Sichuan pepper fish."
"Of course!"
Bai He went out, Yan Yi walked to the window and watched the girl walk out of the building briskly and head towards the tree-lined avenue in the direction of the villa area.
He knew that Qi Lang's mischievous nature was very popular with ordinary girls.
Bai He is also an ordinary girl.
…
The security guard knew Bai He and easily let Bai He into the villa area.
The green area in the villa area is several times that of the high-rise residential area. Coconut trees, banana trees and safflowers are planted on the roadside, which are lush and green, giving a very summery feeling.
Qi Lang's villa was close to the gate. She saw the convenience store girl waving at her at the door, as if calling her.
She hurried over.
The convenience store girl, riding an electric scooter, was stopped outside by security. She could only hand a box of chocolates to Bai He. "Qi Lang sent me a message yesterday saying this chocolate was delicious and asked me to bring him some more. But when I called his phone, no one answered."
"Huh?"
"He bought this. Please give it to him for me."
"Did you buy it?"
"Yes, whenever imported chocolate arrives in the store, he'll buy a few to try, but he's never found anything that satisfies him. He really liked the truffle chocolates that arrived yesterday and bought another box."
When did Qi Lang become so fond of chocolate?
Bai He was a little confused. Wasn't chocolate her favorite? In the past, when Qi Lang came back to Gangcheng to visit his relatives, she always asked him to help bring back some Russian chocolate because it was cheaper there.
"Then I'll pass it on to him for you. Do you need to pay? I'll pay this way." After saying that, Bai He took out his mobile phone.
"No, he's already paid." The young lady put on her helmet and got on her electric scooter. "I'm going to deliver something else. Thank you. Bye."
"bye."
Bai He looked at the box of truffle chocolates. It was clearly the same brand that he had fed her yesterday, and she said it was given to her by a girl on the street.
Is he showing off his charm to her?
Bai He curled his lips, pushed open the gate, walked into his garden, and knocked on the door.
After a while, Qi Lang came downstairs and opened the door.
He was wearing sexy silk pajamas, black, with his upper body open, revealing a hint of his chest and abdominal muscles.
The air conditioner at home was turned on high in the summer, so he wore long-sleeved pajamas and long pants. There was a hint of sleepiness in his eyes, and his short hair was messy, with his alopecia standing up.
"Sayuri, what's up?"
"You asked me to come," she said incredulously. "Did you forget?"
"Oh." Qi Lang rubbed his hair, then remembered and turned sideways to greet her. "Welcome, please come in."
After welcoming her into the house, Qi Lang looked around the outside of the villa with particular care, and only closed the door after making sure that Yan Yi had not followed.
"Chocolate, you lied to me that it was a gift from a girl, but you obviously bought it yourself." Bai He threw the chocolate gift box on the coffee table, "You didn't buy it for me, did you?"
"I said I bought it especially for you, so you must not misunderstand that I love you to death."
“…”
"I wouldn't think so!"
Qi Lang casually opened the gift box, picked up a few chocolates and stuffed them into Bai He's small purse.
Seeing that he only gave a few, Bai He grabbed a handful from the box and said, "I'll take some for Yan Yi too."
Qi Lang did not refuse. He walked upstairs lazily and turned around and said, "Come to my room."
Bai He hesitated for a few seconds and asked him, "What are you doing in the room?"
Qi Lang noticed the girl's hesitation, raised his eyes, and smiled frivolously: "Why, are you afraid of me, Xiao Baihe?"
"Who's afraid of you? What do you have to be afraid of?"
After that, she went upstairs and pushed him as she passed by.
Qi Lang lazily walked behind her and went into the house with her. After entering, Bai He saw a brand new game console on the ground and exclaimed, "Wow!"
He really asked her to play games!
"I'm new here. I downloaded a zombie game that's even better than Resident Evil. Do you want to play it together?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Bai He put down the small bag, couldn't wait to sit on the mat, and picked up the game controller, "I'm not very good at it."
"Advanced teaching video, I haven't started playing yet, I'm waiting for you to come." He sat on the mat next to her.
"So you asked me to come to your house yesterday just to play this game with you?"
Qi Lang turned on the projector with the remote control, connected the gaming device, and nonchalantly said "on".
"Then why not call him Yan Yi? He likes playing games too."
"He's a terrible guy. If we add him, we won't have any gaming experience."
"That's true."
Bai He clicked into the teaching mode and studied intently. She was 100% passionate about playing games, and whenever a new and interesting game came out, Qi Lang would invite her to his house to play together.
She always brought Yan Yi with her, but she didn't expect Qi Lang didn't want him to come.
But it’s also Yan Yi’s fault, his gaming skills are too bad, Bai He is even better than him.
The two fought through level after level, their shooting coordination was quite tacit. Qi Lang would go out hunting from time to time, while Bai He would search for equipment around. Whenever there was danger, Qi Lang would say -
"Here you are, get behind me."
"I don't need to retreat behind you, I'm also very powerful."
"Help me watch the back. We are teammates and need to cooperate well."
What he said made sense. Bai He followed behind him, being on guard against sneak attacks from zombies.
At the last level of the first round, the two men climbed out of the pile of corpses and won with great difficulty. Bai He breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed on Qi Lang's lap: "Ah! I finally won!"
Qi Lang grabbed a chocolate truffle from the small table, peeled it, and stuffed it into her mouth: "Good technique."
The little girl's cheeks puffed up: "Hey, don't you think we are super tacit teammates?"
"certainly."
Qi Lang drank a sip of ice cola, his Adam's apple rolling. Seeing the smile in her eyes and eyebrows, he couldn't help but smile and patted her head: "Silly you..."
"You're stupid."
The two started the next round. The next round required wearing motion sensing equipment and fighting zombies in close combat. Bai He said she couldn't do it, so she let Qi Lang do it.
Qi Lang wore a motion sensor on his wrist, and he threw left hooks, right hooks, and paced back and forth as he began boxing. He was so excited that he even took off his shirt.
Bai He was so surprised by his muscular body and sweat that his mouth opened wide.
He is so fierce.
He looks so handsome when boxing!
"Sayuri, don't be idle, help me shoot." He panted, "Cover me."
"Oh oh!" Bai He quickly grabbed the handle and carefully cleared the enemy.
At this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door downstairs.
"Shit, who is it?"
"I'll go open the door!" Bai He said quickly.
"Forget it, I'll go and you play."
Qi Lang took off the sensor, wiped the sweat off his face with his clothes, and went downstairs.
After opening the door, Yan Yi and Qi Lang looked at each other.
Yan Yi has a handsome appearance, and his skin is cold white even under the scorching sun.
Qi Lang's subconscious reaction was——
It’s over. I didn’t call him because I was playing games.
With this guy's stingy and vengeful temper, he must be furious.
Yan Yi only saw him sweating profusely, breathing rapidly, and shirtless...
It's as if the most precious thing has been ravaged and torn apart...
His blood boiled and he punched Qi Lang in the face.
