Chapter 44: Running
That week, it was like seeing a ghost.
Bai He seems to meet Qi Lang more frequently at school.
No, it's not like...it just became more.
In the library in the afternoon, Bai He stood on tiptoe to get a book, and Qi Lang appeared behind her for some unknown reason, helping her take the book from the high shelf.
Bai He turned around and met the boy's sharp jawline.
The sun shone on his back, and his outline was coated with a layer of spring filter, bright and brilliant, as if glowing.
She nervously averted her gaze. Qi Lang handed the book to her naturally and smiled playfully, "Why do I meet you again?"
"How should I know?"
Afterwards, the two of them naturally went to study together until the bell rang at two o'clock, and then they naturally went to the teaching building together.
Qi Lang wanted to help her carry her schoolbag, but Bai He disagreed.
So he hung his schoolbag on her shoulders, as if it was another punishment for her rejection.
Bai He scolded him a few times in dissatisfaction, but Qi Lang had been like this since he was a child. He was the one who treated her well, and he was also the one who treated her badly...
Then Bai He joined the college student union and was going to hold a photography exhibition. Qi Lang was also transferred by the school student union to participate in the photography exhibition in their college.
Bai He went for a night run around the lake and passed Qi Lang several times.
She didn't know whether it was God's will or fate's coincidence, but she had tried her best to create chance encounters in various occasions, but she always missed him by accident.
Now she doesn't have to make such an effort, but God still makes them meet again and again.
There's just something so out of place between them.
Just meet someone if you meet them. Turning around and leaving will only make you look more guilty.
Bai He stopped jogging and greeted him breathlessly: "Hi."
"Exercise?"
"Um."
"Together?"
As soon as he approached, Bai He felt the strong heat from the young man.
Sometimes, even from a great distance, Bai He could sense this person's presence, as if discovering him was something she was best at.
Su Xiaojing used to jokingly give her the nickname Qi Lang Scanner.
Bai He didn't want to sense him now, nor could he.
Qi Lang jogged, glancing at her from the corner of his eyes from time to time.
Under the dim streetlight, her slightly tight yoga top outlined her soft, slender waist. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, swaying as she ran, and her faint sweet fragrance filled his nostrils.
Qi Lang stared at her for a long time, and when he knew she turned her head to look at him, he immediately looked away.
"Yan Yi didn't accompany you?"
"He has classes most of the night. Medical students are much busier than us."
"Too."
"That day you kept asking why not wait for another hour. What did you mean?" Bai He asked curiously.
Qi Lang held his forehead with his hand, his expression slightly ashamed: "Can we not talk about what happened that night?"
Bai He rarely saw Qi Lang with such an awkward expression. The more he acted like this, the more interested she became. "So, what's wrong with you about me and Yan Yi dating? Do you feel like we can no longer be friends? Or do you feel uncomfortable with the fact that our relationship as siblings has evolved into a relationship? You were going to go crazy that night."
"I don't want to talk about this topic." Qi Lang unscrewed the mineral water bottle and handed the first sip to Bai He, who waved his hand to refuse.
Qi Lang tilted his head back and took a sip. His Adam's apple rolled as if he had swallowed an olive, and it felt like a lump in his throat.
No matter what you say...it's too late.
Expressing my love to her now will do nothing but make me feel sorry for my brother and look like a mistress.
Qi Lang knew her principles and character very well. She would not hurt Yan Yi, nor would she give him any chance to take advantage of her.
If I say that, we really can't be friends anymore.
"Then tell me, what does waiting for another hour mean?" she asked relentlessly.
Qi Lang hesitated for a few seconds and simply pretended to be ignorant: "Did I say that?"
"I said it!"
"Oh, I was just drunk and talking nonsense."
Bai He didn't quite believe it, but since he didn't want to say it, she didn't ask.
"By the way, did you succeed in your confession?" Bai He changed the subject.
"How could you not know whether my confession was successful or not?"
Even if he succeeded, he could still be miserable here.
"You haven't rehearsed with me yet." Bai He said, "But I don't think it's necessary. Xu Li likes you very much. If you confess to her, it will definitely succeed."
"Do you think I'm going to confess to Xu Li?"
"Isn't it?"
Qi Lang was a little speechless, "How did you know I was going to confess to her?"
"She's the only girl around you lately. You've been with her all day long, and you said you had someone you liked, so of course I thought it was her." Bai He blinked, "Who else could it be?"
Qi Lang: “…”
So, she thought he was going to confess his love to Xu Li, so she agreed to go to the lakeside pavilion to accompany him in rehearsal.
No wonder, even though they had already agreed on it, she agreed to translate it in advance.
Qi Lang is so upset...
There is no girl he cannot get who he wants, but this old friend of many years is the one he cannot get no matter what.
"It's her." He decided to go along with it and said bitterly, "I just wanted to ask you to help with rehearsal. There's nothing else to it."
"Are you still rehearsing?" Bai He checked her phone. "Ayi's get out of class is over at nine o'clock. I can still practice with you for half an hour."
"I'm not going to practice anymore." Qi Lang was in a bad mood. "I suddenly feel that she's not that attractive to me. She's as dumb as a pig, with a slow brain and slow reactions. It's a waste of emotion to confess to her."
“…”
Bai He frowned slightly and looked at him: "You said you liked me so much at the beginning, and you cared about me so much that you were even afraid we couldn't be friends. But after just a few days, you don't like me anymore. It's not like you're just a passing fancy!"
"Yeah, I'm a scumbag, and this isn't the first day you've known me."
The mineral water bottle in Qi Lang's hand was squeezed out of shape and thrown into the trash can with a "clang".
Break the jar and throw it away.
Bai He felt bored and turned around to leave, but someone came flying over on a Lu Chong skateboard and passed between the two of them. Bai He was almost tripped and was startled.
Qi Lang caught her, held her arm tightly, and helped her stand firmly.
Bai He felt her back pressed against his chest and abdomen, his breath burning hot, his body temperature scalding...
She raised her head, having recovered from her shock, and met the boy's angry eyes.
He glared at the back of the boy on the skateboard in front of him and muttered, "Fuck you!"
The other person hit someone but showed no remorse and rode away on his skateboard. Qi Lang let go of Bai He and caught up with him in one quick step.
Bai He wanted to catch him, but failed.
Qi Lang kicked the skateboard boy over, and he stumbled and fell on the grass: "Can you watch the road?"
"Depend on!"
Originally, the skateboard boy had intended to scare passersby, so he stood up fearlessly and wanted to fight him, but when he looked up and saw his face clearly in the light, his arrogance immediately dissipated.
School of Business, Qi Lang.
Who doesn’t know the rich second generation from wealthy and powerful families? They think that college is no different from junior high and high school. They are young and frivolous and are not afraid to travel around the world with their fists.
Once you have stepped half a foot into society, you will have some idea of what kind of people you can and cannot mess with.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
The skateboard boy knelt down to apologize, but Qi Lang had no intention of forgiving him. He was so angry that he had no place to vent, so he pushed him rudely.
Bai He ran over, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him back a few steps: "Qi Lang, forget it, I'm fine."
Seeing this, the skateboard boy apologized to Bai He repeatedly, and while Qi Lang was being pulled by her, he escaped on his skateboard.
Qi Lang wanted to chase after her, but Bai He held him tightly, "Please stop."
He lowered his eyes to look at her, his emotions surging.
I want to hug her, kiss her, caress her, and tell her: "I can protect you for the rest of your life, and never let anyone bully you."
But she is no longer his Sayuri, not anymore.
Qi Lang's breathing was fluctuating, his heart was in a mess and chaos. He felt that he might cry in the next second, so he turned around and left in embarrassment.
Bai He looked at his dejected back and called out, "Are you okay?"
Not good, not good at all.
Qi Lang raised his hand without looking back.
…
Bai He went to the food street to buy omelet rice and waited for Yan Yi to finish class downstairs of the laboratory building.
The bell in the teaching building rang, and Yan Yi and several classmates came down the stairs.
The students around him were all wearing white coats, but Yan Yi was wearing casual clothes, a black sports casual long-sleeved jacket, which made his temperament even colder and harder, with a bit of the chill of autumn.
However, when he saw her, he seemed like a different person. His cold temperament was gone. He ran towards her with a smile and opened his arms to give her a huge bear hug.
Bai He was almost knocked down by him, but Yan Yi picked her up and spun her around twice, like a doll.
He buried his face in the crook of her neck and breathed deeply.
Bai He touched the hair on the back of his head: "What's wrong?"
"I haven't seen you for a day." Yan Yi said.
"Um?"
"Charge." Yan Yi tightened his arms again.
Bai He felt as if a snake had tightly wrapped around his body and he couldn't break free.
He sniffed her neck like a dog, and she felt itchy. She said, "Don't... I just worked out, and I'm very sweaty and smelly."
Yan Yi took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good that it's killing me, but..."
"Just what?"
"It smells like Qi Lang. Did you just meet?"
“…”
Dog nose!!!
Bai He said frankly: "Yes, I just ran into him while jogging at night."
"He even touched you."
"Well, a boy bumped into me with his skateboard and he helped me up." Bai He said frankly, "No, it's your dog nose! Is it really that sharp?"
"So..." Yan Yi held her head and whispered in her ear, "Don't lie to me anymore."
"Ayi, I won't lie to you. I promised you, and I will definitely do it." Bai He promised firmly.
Yan Yi patted her head and said, "Good girl."
"Why are you different from them today? You're not wearing a white coat?"
"I changed it while I was up there and disinfected my clothes because I wanted to hug my sister."
"So clingy." Bai He blushed and pushed him, "There are so many people around."
Many people were looking at them, boys and girls passing by.
Perhaps it was because he was too famous. After the military training, Yan Yi became completely popular on campus and became the unanimously recognized campus idol among the female students of Peking University Health Science Center. His popularity plummeted and there was no one else like him.
Yan Yi knew she was afraid of embarrassment, so he suggested: "Let's go to a place with fewer people in the woods to hug her."
"Why!"
He took her hand and walked into the grove without saying a word. He found a quiet, shady place where no one was around. He held her quietly, enjoying this hard-earned good time and was reluctant to waste a single minute.
Bai He really felt like she had become his charging station, and that was no exaggeration. This guy relied on her to absorb energy crazily. He not only hugged her, but also rubbed against her, his thighs scraping against her constantly. It was obvious that a change had occurred.
"Yi." Bai He was helpless. "You're going far beyond the scope of a hug."
"It's not easy to endure until now."
When he was eighteen or nineteen years old, Yan Yi's mind was full of these things every night.
"If you keep rubbing against me, I'll be angry." Bai He threatened.
"Okay, I'll be good, don't move."
He really calmed down and just hugged her, although he still pressed his thing straight against her.
"Don't you miss me?" he asked her. "I've been thinking about you all day and my mouth is dry."
"Yes." Bai He said.
"I didn't feel it. You didn't even jump into my arms." Yan Yi actually felt a little aggrieved.
Bai He laughed: "I...I should jump into your arms?"
"Well, I don't feel that you have any desire for me." Yan Yi said.
"Girls won't show their desires, okay?"
"Do you have any?"
Bai He lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and Yan Yi answered for her: "No."
"I feel quite guilty." Bai He said, "I still think that Ayi is my brother."
"If you still think of me as your brother." Yan Yi loosened his grip slightly, pinched her jaw with his powerful fingertips, and lifted it up. "Then we can only go to bed first. After trying this once, you will never treat me as your brother again."
"No!" Bai He was frightened to death by his words.
Yan Yi smiled and pestered her relentlessly: "Then kiss me and let me feel it."
Bai He stood on tiptoe and gave her a MUA on the cheek.
"You didn't even touch it." Yan Yi said.
"Yes."
"I didn't feel it."
"That's because you're insensitive."
Yan Yi looked at the girl so close to him, his eyes full of desire, but he also knew that Bai He had not fallen in love with him yet.
Love and sex are bound together, and her desire for his body...is not as strong as her desire for Qi Lang.
So no matter how intimate he was to her, Bai He was just catering to him, out of kindness, out of responsibility, out of various considerations... but not out of love.
Yan Yi sighed and said to her: "I should be satisfied, but I'm not satisfied, Bai He, I'm really not satisfied..."
"What are you dissatisfied with?"
"I want you to love me. If you don't love me, you might as well kill me." He stared at her lips longingly. "When can I kiss you? When can I have you? I want to fuck you hard."
"What a lewd thing to say!" Bai He blushed, "How dare you say that!"
"I can tell you anything. If I don't tell you, you won't be able to trust me."
That... is true.
She would rather he be honest with her and not harbor any bad thoughts in his heart.
"Then you should know that I won't go to bed with you so soon." Bai He looked at him frankly.
"I know, our sister is slow to warm up."
"So, control yourself and be good."
"Okay." Yan Yi was like an obedient puppy. "I won't force you. If you want to kiss me, I'll kiss you. If you want to do it with me, just tell me. I won't force you."
Bai He nodded vigorously. She felt Yan Yi's surging emotions, both physically and psychologically, which were so fierce.
But she couldn't give a synchronous response now, as she hadn't gotten over the hurdle in her heart yet.
"Omurice, it will get cold if you don't eat it now." Bai He raised the bag in his hand.
"Go to your cafeteria." Yan Yi let her go, "I'll take you back to the dormitory."
"OK."
After walking out of the grove, Yan Yi asked her, "What did you talk about with Qi Lang?"
"Nonsense." Bai He said, "Didn't he want to rehearse his confession with me at the beginning? I told you before that he liked Xu Li, but just now he said that she was too stupid and didn't want to confess or something like that."
"He...always is like this."
Yan Yi lowered his head, thinking that although he was a bastard, he was not so bad as to come and steal his girl the next day.
He gave her enough respect and just hoped that they could continue to be friends.
"Holding hands?" Yan Yi asked her.
Bai He: "Great."
"If you don't want to, forget it." Yan Yi repeated what he had just said, "If you want to hold hands, hold hands. If you don't want to hold hands, I won't force you."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and walked forward.
Bai He: ...
Yan Yi didn't show any signs of jealousy, but he was definitely extremely jealous at this moment.
Bai He walked over and held his hand: "I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand."
Yan Yi suddenly pulled his hand back: "I don't want to think about it anymore."
The little girl acted aggrieved and said, "I'll be very sad."
"I can't see your sadness, I just see that you're good at pretending."
"Really not holding hands?"
Yan Yi said nothing, just looked at her suspiciously.
Bai He bargained with him: "If you don't want to hold my hand, forget about the love letter or the omelet rice!"
After saying that, she turned and left. Before she had taken a few steps, Yan Yi caught up with her and wrapped his warm palm tightly around her hand.
Bai He smiled: "Don't want to hold hands?"
"Now I think about it." Yan Yi said, "I want a love letter."
Bai He took out the love letter from her schoolbag and waved it in front of his eyes, and the sweet fragrance filled his nostrils.
Yan Yi snatched the love letter from her hand and was about to open it, but Bai He stopped her: "You're going to open it now?!"
"I want to see it."
"Go back and look, I'm right in front of you, how embarrassing."
"Okay." Yan Yi pinched her nose lovingly, "My awkward alien girlfriend."
Bai He stretched out her hand: "Hold me quickly."
Yan Yi carefully put the envelope into the pocket of his schoolbag, took her hand, and kissed her on the lips: "There was no movement for a week, I thought you forgot, I'm so happy."
"Are you really happy?"
"real."
"Then you have to write me back too."
"affim."
Yan Yi kissed her hand again, which was the only intimate gesture he could make to her at the moment.
Bai He could feel his joy. Although he was not a young man who showed his emotions on his face, he could not hide his excitement.
A little bit of love will make him happy without knowing why.
Bai He paused, let go of his hand, and slowly backed away, saying to him as she walked, "Ayi, catch it!"
Yan Yi looked at her in confusion.
After taking about ten steps back, Bai He started to run faster, jumped into his arms, and bumped into him.
"From now on, every time we meet, I will run towards you."
