Chapter 48 Guarantee
When people gain something, they are destined to lose it.
Yan Yi knew very well that he had the right to stand by her side, to express to her the love that had been buried deep in his heart for many years, and even... to possess the loyalty and enjoyment of her body.
He had to endure some things, for example, her heart was uncontrollably shifting towards someone, and she couldn't help but look towards him.
He didn't even have the courage to question.
Bai He trotted out of the elevator and came to Yan Yi, asking in surprise, "Yi, why are you here?"
"After tutoring, walking back to school, looking at the busy streets and the crowds of strangers, I suddenly missed you."
Yan Yi looked at her gently and said, "I took a taxi here on impulse."
"Ah, you are really impulsive."
"You don't welcome me?"
She laughed, "I'm so happy you came!"
“I hope I’m really happy.”
"Why are you being so sarcastic? Of course I'm happy."
"I've been tired all day. Seeing you makes me feel alive again." Yan Yi opened his arms and hugged her, holding her so tightly that her feet left the ground and spun around twice. "I want to kiss you to death."
Bai He blushed and pushed him helplessly: "Put me down!"
"No."
He always held her like this, like a big dog holding its most cherished rag doll, carrying it wherever it went, unwilling to let go for even a second.
Bai He was carried around by him for a few rounds. Some classmates around them lowered their heads and covered their faces with their hands, laughing, and looked at the two of them with mischievous eyes.
Bai He pushed him awkwardly.
Yan Yi did not let go. He looked straight at Qi Lang at the elevator door.
Qi Lang stood where he was, letting the people entering and exiting the elevator pass by him and bump into him from time to time.
Unmoved, as if the soul has been hollowed out.
He looked at them masochistically, his hand still holding hers, loosely gripping...
Empty hands, empty heart.
Bai He was afraid that Yan Yi might misunderstand, so she explained, "Just now, because there were so many people around, he pulled me to stand a little further back."
"No need to explain, it's nothing."
"So generous."
"Because I trust you, you don't need to avoid him deliberately if you're dating me. I know your heart, so just relax."
He looked at her with seemingly considerate eyes and spoke in code words that only she could understand, which made Bai He feel even more guilty and ashamed.
She was in love with another person while dating him. What a scumbag she is! Damn it!
Bai He felt more and more sorry for Yan Yi and held his hand tightly.
Yan Yi looked up at Qi Lang and asked, "Are we going to have dinner now?"
"Let's eat roast duck." Qi Lang walked over with one hand in his pocket and said in a flat tone, "Together?"
"Okay, I haven't eaten yet."
"I'm inviting Sayuri, but I don't want to invite you. If you want to come together, that's A." Qi Lang said coldly.
"It's not like I can't afford it. Besides, I've also paid for my girlfriend's share."
"No need, I told her to."
“That’s the principle.”
"Your principles don't apply to me."
Bai He watched the two of them arguing with each other, clutching his rumbling stomach, and ordered a meal coupon on his phone: "You two, I'll treat you guys, okay?"
After saying that, she went out and hailed a taxi.
Yan Yi wanted to push Qi Lang to sit in the front, but Qi Lang stubbornly squeezed into the back row.
This time, Bai He no longer sat in the middle as before. She consciously sat by the window and let Yan Yi sit in the middle.
Although Yan Yi doesn't mind, she should at least avoid suspicion.
Qi Lang knew this very well and didn't say much. The three of them went to the roast duck restaurant with their own little thoughts.
After sitting down, Qi Lang said to Yan Yi sarcastically, "You really know how to create surprises. You came all the way here."
Translation: "I hope it's not a shock."
"What you said, do you not trust your girlfriend?"
"Stop trying to sow discord." Yan Yi didn't buy his tricks and said to Bai He, "I just came here because I wanted to see you."
Bai He was about to nod when Qi Lang added, "Men's words are deceitful. He must have suspected you were having an affair with me, so he rushed over here."
Yan Yi immediately retorted: "I don't doubt her, but I reasonably suspect that you have such thoughts in your mind, otherwise you wouldn't think I doubt such a thing."
Bai He felt extremely embarrassed as she looked at the stunned waitress who came to take their order.
"Could you two just shut up?"
They ordered a set meal and the dishes were served quickly. Qi Lang scooped a bowl of steaming hot old duck sour soup for Bai He and handed it to her. At the same time, Yan Yi wrapped a piece of roast duck for her with dough and handed it to her mouth.
Qi Lang: "Drink the soup first, it will nourish your stomach."
Translation: "This bowl alone won't fill your stomach much, just eat a bite first to fill your stomach."
Qi Lang: "Bai He, do you want to drink the soup first or eat the meat first? Choose for yourself, why bother with him?"
Bai He: “…”
She pushed Yan Yi's hand away, and did not take the soup bowl handed to her by Qi Lang. She picked up a piece of braised duck head and gnawed on it.
Qi Lang and Yan Yi looked at each other, and there were sparks in their eyes.
The three of them ate in silence for a while. Qi Lang couldn't help but want to stir things up again and asked Bai He, "How does it feel to be in love?"
Bai He just lowered his head to eat and said casually: "I don't feel anything special."
After saying this, she felt something was wrong, so she quickly made up for it by saying, "Because I'm too familiar with Hajime, and I haven't been able to break away from our previous relationship pattern, so I don't feel any difference."
After saying that, she looked at Yan Yi worriedly, afraid that he would be suspicious.
Yan Yi used his eyes to tell her that it was okay and he wouldn't think too much about it, and then he gave her another piece of duck leg.
Qi Lang said sarcastically: "How come you don't feel anything right after you started dating? It seems that your boyfriend is not good enough."
"That's not what I meant." Bai He defended, "When good friends become lovers, we get used to a lot of things."
"Oh, then I still don't feel any connection. Do you want to try another one?"
After saying that, he looked at Yan Yi with a green tea look and said, "I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with my sister Bai He. You shouldn't mind, right?"
"Of course not." Yan Yi countered, "This is our first relationship, and we don't have experience in many things. Unlike you, who have been in many relationships and are attracted to any pretty girl."
Qi Lang was frustrated and had nothing to say.
Yan Yi pressed the issue, "Why don't you just find another one on the side of the road and start a romantic romance in this ancient town? You're not picky about your partner anyway, and you don't have to spend the long night alone in an empty room, pining for someone else's girlfriend."
Under the table, Bai He pulled Yan Yi's sleeve.
Most of the time, when Qi Lang was being mean, Yan Yi would not bother with him, but if he really wanted to retaliate with a sharp tongue, even a hundred Qi Langs put together would not be his match.
But Bai He's expression turned noticeably colder.
Yan Yi was jealous and spoke without thinking, but when he noticed Bai He's unhappy expression, he restrained himself.
She should have been having a good time all day today, but he came and made things difficult for her.
She is always happy when she is with Qi Lang.
He is the superfluous one.
After dinner, the three of them took a walk and went to a pub by the river in the ancient town.
Sitting at a booth in the quiet open-air garden, the evening breeze is gentle and the environment is tranquil, which creates a romantic atmosphere.
Unfortunately, we can’t have a romantic relationship because we are now a crowded group of three.
Qi Lang ordered a Long Island Iced Tea, and Bai He dissuaded him, "Don't drink anymore. You always act crazy when you're drunk. We don't want to deal with you tonight."
"Now it's you again."
Translation: "It's always been us."
Qi Lang shook the yellow liquid in the cocktail glass: "This isn't very alcoholic."
"I've had Long Island before, it's quite strong." Bai He exchanged her mojito with him, "You can have mine. I haven't tried it yet, this one has a lower alcohol content."
Qi Lang did not refuse and exchanged wine glasses with her.
Yan Yi came over with three boxes of dice and suggested playing a game of guessing the size. Bai He said she was not very good at it, so he explained the rules to her in detail. The little girl seemed to understand what he was saying and started playing with him.
Qi Lang was not very interested. He leaned against the sofa and watched the young couple playing games out of boredom.
With a hint of drunkenness in his eyes, he sat quietly on the soft sofa that was half-full of space for one person, his head resting casually, his expression relaxed, his black eyes fixed on Bai He.
Bai He was not very good at playing games and was kicked out by Yan Yi many times, drinking one glass of wine after another.
Soon, the full cup of Long Island Iced Tea was empty.
In the middle of the trip, Qi Lang went to the bathroom, and when he came out he was stopped by a girl with short and cool hair, who added him on WeChat.
Qi Lang waved his hand to refuse.
Bai He glanced over and saw the disappointed expression on the short-haired girl's face.
Her chin was hooked back by Yan Yi, and his deep eyes stared straight into hers. There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Bai He, just don't look at him when you're with me, okay?"
There was a faint bubbling sound in his voice.
"I wasn't looking at him." Bai He explained, "Someone was hitting on him, and I was just watching the show."
"Yeah, okay." He said gently.
Qi Lang sat back down, and Yan Yi tilted his head lazily: "Why is that girl... not to Master Seven's liking?"
Qi Lang murmured briefly: "I've quit."
He obviously didn't want to continue this topic. Seeing that Bai He always lost when playing dice with him, he simply joined the battle. His intention to protect Bai He was obvious. He always rolled Yan Yi's dice, and he could always accurately calculate the winning number for him. The two of them were competing with each other.
In the end, the game directly sidelined Bai He and turned it into a peak showdown between Qi Lang and Yan Yi, two highly intelligent people.
Bai He looked at Qi Lang for a while, then at Yan Yi for a while. The two were evenly matched, and they exchanged cups one after another.
If they keep drinking like this, she won't be able to drag the two drunks back to the hotel.
"Okay! Game over! Stop drinking."
Yan Yi drank a few glasses but was not obviously drunk. Qi Lang's alcohol tolerance was not as good as his, and he might even be inferior to Bai He. He was dizzy and drunk at the moment, so he ran to the self-service jukebox and ordered a song "Good Intentions to Break Up" for them.
He sang with full of emotion, and Yan Yi and Bai He were a little speechless.
He came back from singing and asked them with a smile, "How was it?"
Bai He said expressionlessly, "It's so nice! I'm almost moved to tears."
Qi Lang: "I am about to cry while singing. Bless you, my dear friends."
Yan Yi said solemnly, "Wish we break up soon?"
"You can hear all this?"
Bai He: "Don't be too obvious, okay."
Qi Lang held the cup, his eyes lowered, the colorful spotlights illuminating his handsome face, creating an extremely charming feeling: "If you want to go on a date, you can go first. I'll stay here alone for a while."
Bai He saw that he was really drunk, and Yan Yi was also drunk, and was afraid that the two of them would start arguing with each other and cause another awkward situation.
She quickly stood up and said, "Then I'll go out and get some fresh air."
"I'll accompany you." Yan Yi followed and left.
Qi Lang put down the cup and cursed——
"Damn! Are you really leaving!"
…
The river reflected the dim lights on the opposite bank. Many shops were closed, and a crescent moon was dimly reflected in the water.
The rippling water shone on the little girl's drunken black eyes, and her face was flushed. She looked at the scenery. Yan Yi came over and looked at her in fascination.
After looking at her for a while, he suddenly leaned over and kissed her face lightly.
Bai He was slightly startled, but... did not push away immediately. Yan Yi noticed it and kissed her deeply.
His thin lips crushed her fair face deeply. He held her waist and kissed her jaw and neck more fiercely...
Bai He's breathing became much faster and heavier. Just when he was about to kiss her lips, she put her hand on his chest and turned her head to let the kiss brush against her ear.
Both of their chests were heaving violently, as if the hidden taboo between the boy and girl was about to be peeled off. Yan Yi's breathing became more rapid, and his eyes were staring at her with desire, making her unable to resist.
She's a little scared...
Yan Yi couldn't control himself and kissed her face again, almost touching the corner of her lips, and his body trembled even more violently.
The physiological reaction was so… violent.
"You're torturing me." He whispered helplessly in her ear, "I want it, it's so painful..."
"Ayi, don't scare me."
He saw fear in Bai He's eyes, the girl's great fear of the secret and unknown adult world.
Yan Yi closed his eyes and blew the wind calmly for a while before saying, "Okay, I won't scare you."
"Can you get a room to yourself tonight?"
"No." Yan Yi refused firmly, hugged her from behind, and rubbed her neck, "I will be good."
"ensure?"
"ensure."
The two returned to the bar, and Qi Lang had become a drunkard, sleeping unconscious on the sofa in the booth.
Bai He helped Qi Lang up and asked Yan Yi to carry him back to the hotel.
In the corridor, she took out the door card of the next room from his pocket. After opening the door, Yan Yi threw him on the bed and pulled Bai He away.
Bai He suggested: "Let's clean him up. He'll catch a cold if he sleeps like this."
"Okay, go back first, I'll clean him up."
"Um."
…
Tonight, Yan Yi was indeed well-behaved. He went back to the room to take a shower, and then they each drew a clear line on their own. He no longer had the unsatisfied look on his face when he kissed her by the river just now.
Bai He was quite nervous when she took a shower, fearing that he would force something to happen tonight.
Then she really didn't know how to deal with it.
In the internet age, Bai He is a front-line spectator, constantly surfing the internet. He has firsthand knowledge of everything from the leaked pornographic videos of certain bureau chiefs to the explosive chat logs of certain female teachers cheating on their students. Bai He has learned a great deal about sex, both healthy and unhealthy, safe and unsafe...
Understanding is one thing, but fear is another.
The mysterious and unknown territory, accompanied by shame, pain, changes in mentality, changes in relationships... Bai He was not prepared to cope with it.
Yan Yi was still leaning against the bedside reading a thick stack of original medical books in English. When he read, he would wear frameless glasses with low power, looking gentle, elegant and harmless.
They are little rabbits who grew up in the same litter. Their auras are intertwined with each other, and there is no sense of aggression. Bai He should feel at ease with him.
She played a game for a while, and Yan Yi lightly reminded her, "Don't play with your phone for too long."
"Oh, okay."
Bai He felt that he had become the same Yan Yi as before, so obedient.
So she put down her phone and closed her eyes in peace. Fatigue invaded, and Bai He soon fell into a deep sleep.
However, half asleep and half awake, Bai He felt someone holding his hands and thought he was dreaming.
Until she heard a lustful and affectionate "sister" in her ears, which completely brought her back from the turbid dream.
She found that her hands were tightly held by Yan Yi and pressed above her head, making her unable to move.
Yan Yi looked at her, who was like a feast, with deep black eyes, and said frankly -
"Sister, actually, I'm still a little jealous."
"One, you..."
The young man took off the black silk scarf covering her neck, gently wrapped it around Bai He's hands, tied her up, and expertly tied a slipknot.
"I'm going to punish you."
