Chapter 52 He Will Wait
In the morning, Qi Lang yawned as he walked out of the room. The air was filled with the warm aroma of food. A hearty breakfast was placed on the table, steaming hot.
Baked sweet potatoes, oatmeal with milk, fruit salad, sandwiches, and even beef and potato cubes...
Bai He was wearing a warm sweater, with her hair scattered messily on her shoulders. She lay sleepily on the table, lowering her head and drinking oatmeal porridge obediently.
Yan Yi put the peeled white eggs into her bowl, and she ate them with chopsticks.
Qi Lang walked over with a frown on his face, his hands on his hips, looking at the table full of delicious breakfast, feeling incredible: "Who made this?"
Bai He pointed at Yanyi with his lips raised.
Apart from him, who else could be so virtuous?
"No... How early did you get up? How could you do so much?"
Qi Lang's double-door refrigerator was empty, basically just a decoration. To have so many dishes, he would have to go to the market and buy them and cook them on the spot.
He even suspected that Yan Yi had gone out to buy ready-made ones. He went to the kitchen with doubt in his mind and found that the oven and pot had signs of use, and there was still half a pot of milk oatmeal porridge in the rice cooker.
“…”
This man is amazing. Was he the reincarnation of a snail girl in his previous life?
Qi Lang has never seen such a virtuous man in his life. If he were a girl, which man would not want to marry him?
Qi Lang came out after washing up. Yan Yi had already brought him a bowl and chopsticks and said calmly, "Come and eat."
Normally, Qi Lang would sleep until noon and basically had no time for breakfast.
But thinking that there were two people at home today, he woke up at eight o'clock in the morning and couldn't fall asleep. It was a rare opportunity for him to get up early, and when he came out he saw Yan Yi's miraculous breakfast.
No wonder Sayuri could endure for so many years despite complaining. He prepared such a full table, it was so sumptuous, who could have the heart to refuse?
Qi Lang sat down and picked up the cantaloupe with his chopsticks: "Just eat it reluctantly."
Yan Yi sneered, "That really wronged the Seventh Young Master."
Qi Lang leaned over and quietly asked Bai He: "Did you reconcile with today's breakfast, or with him?"
Bai He had anticipated that he would bring up something irrelevant, so she reminded him, "Today is December 19th, no quarreling allowed."
Qi Lang was slightly startled and took out his cell phone to check the time.
It really is...
He almost didn't remember.
Every year on December 19th and May 3rd, the anniversary of the death of Yan Yi's mother and father, Bai He and Qi Lang would tacitly accompany Yan Yi on these days, never arguing or fighting. They didn't want him to be stuck in an emotional quagmire, so they would find ways to coax him out to play and cheer him up.
For a child, losing their mother is already a profound sorrow, and Yan Yi has even lost his only father. Bai He and Qi Lang couldn't personally experience the long nights of grief he endured during his dark childhood, but they could empathize with him because they had parents themselves, and the mere thought of losing them brought tears to their eyes.
Therefore, on this day they will try every possible way to make Yan Yi happy. When he was a child, Qi Lang would give him his favorite electric racing car, and Bai He would use the pocket money she had saved for a long time to sneak to the game hall with Yan Yi and play all day long.
The gentle warmth that flows slowly over time melts the boy's hard and cold heart. The barren soil breeds the buds of love, which makes him understand how to take care of the people around him and how to make himself needed and liked.
For a long time, they were the ones who healed him.
Qi Lang was eating breakfast when he suddenly asked, "Today is Saturday, so there are no classes, right?"
"No."
"Want to go bungee jumping?"
Bai He almost choked on her oatmeal, and Yan Yi quickly reached out and patted her on the back.
"Bungee jumping?"
"Didn't we fail to jump on Yan Yi's birthday last time? This time, I'll treat you all. You can jump as many times as you want."
Bai He: "Thank you!"
Don’t think about it even once!
Yan Yi suddenly asked, "Is it out of guilt and a desire to make amends?"
Obviously, he knew who was responsible for the failure of the jump last time.
Qi Lang looked at him, raised his eyebrows, and said innocently, "It has nothing to do with me."
"Guess whether I believe it or not."
Qi Lang tilted his head and said to Bai He, "With his sarcastic and aggressive personality, how have we tolerated him for so many years?"
Bai He curled his lips: "Before, he only attacked you with weapons and sticks, but now he has started to attack indiscriminately. He will not let anyone go."
"Forget it, I'm his brother after all. My mom even gave him the Ruyi Lock."
Speaking of this, Bai He suddenly became curious because he didn't look at it carefully last night.
"Quick, let me see your little golden lock."
So Yan Yi took off the golden locket from his neck and handed it to her.
The gold lock is solid and feels heavy and textured. It is decorated with intricate and exquisite fortune patterns and has three small bells tied to the bottom. It really looks like a gold lock for a baby to wear.
The back of the gold lock is engraved with the words "Cheng Xin Ru Yi".
Bai He then said to Qi Lang, "You have one too, are they a pair?"
"Yes." Qi Lang took off his longevity lock from his neck and handed it over.
A pair of identical golden locks, except that the back of Qi Lang's lock was engraved with the words "Long Life and Wealth".
"I thought you had kept them and were wearing them with you," Bai He said with a smile, "Two grown men wearing baby locks around their necks. Others would laugh at you."
"My mom told me to wear it, saying it wouldn't work if I didn't," Qi Lang said. "No one would see it if I hung it inside my clothes."
"My girlfriend will see it."
"My girlfriend has to be naked before she can see me." Qi Lang said confidently, "And everyone knows that ordinary girlfriends don't have the chance to see me naked."
"Oh, ordinary girlfriends can't see it, then what kind of girlfriend can see it?" Bai He asked curiously.
Qi Lang pondered for a few seconds, looked at her, and said word by word: "A girlfriend who is perfect for everyone."
Bai He didn't get his deep gaze and said casually, "So you're the one who wants the wish lock. Why don't you trade with Yan Yi? Give him your wealth lock and give you the wish lock in exchange. He must want to become a millionaire."
Qi Lang said without hesitation: "Change it!"
He would rather not have wealth and longevity, he just wants a life of contentment and happiness, which is what he has always pursued.
But Yan Yi is different from him. Yan Yi works hard to make money. He wants to be extremely rich. Material abundance can make him more confident to keep the girl he wants to keep.
He also felt that material conditions were the biggest competitive gap between him and Qi Lang.
Qi Lang looked at Yan Yi and said, "Do you want to change it or not? Brother Qi Lang respects you."
Yan Yi said, "No problem."
The two exchanged the golden lock, Qi Lang got what he wanted, and Yan Yi got longevity and wealth.
After breakfast, the three of them went downstairs and found their driver, Uncle Liang, waiting for them in front of the Rolls-Royce.
Qi Lang asked the navigation system to drive to a mountain adventure park. Based on the towering mountain landscape, it has many thrilling adventure challenge projects, and the bungee jumping platform is one of them.
The bungee jumping platform here is much more exciting than the one in Happy Valley. It is located on a high mountain, with green forests and natural lakes below, reflecting the sparkling sunlight.
Bai He was walking on the path up the mountain when he heard the screams of tourists from the sky. He watched as the tourists were thrown down like objects from a high altitude. After reaching the maximum critical point of the spring rope, they were suddenly bounced up and thrown into the sky. This happened several times, and the screams echoed throughout the valley.
Bai He also held her head and screamed, the sense of substitution was too strong.
"I, I, I...I want to go back!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and tried to run, but Qi Lang and Yan Yi each grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"The tickets are already bought, where do you want to go?" Qi Lang said with a smile, "There's no turning back."
"I'll give you the ticket back!"
"1,000 per person."
Bai He had already taken out his phone to scan the code. Upon hearing this, he looked at him speechlessly: "You're ripping me off, huh?"
Qi Lang said innocently: "That's the price."
Bai He struggled for a long time between money and death, but finally chose the former.
Damn it, there is no money. Sayuri is so stingy that no one can make her bleed.
She followed them in the elevator to the bungee jumping platform.
The cold wind on the stage bit her bones, blowing her long hair into a mess. Bai He couldn't help but shiver, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or fear, or maybe both.
Yan Yi always had a rubber band tied around his wrist. He walked over and tied her messy long hair into a long ponytail, looking capable and neat.
"Oh my goodness."
She was completely forced into it, and allowed the staff to put on the double equipment for her and Yan Yi and fasten the safety ropes. Qi Lang often did these extreme sports so he was very familiar with the process. He walked over and carefully checked whether each safety rope on their bodies was fastened and whether the screws were tightened. He only let them jump after making sure that there was no problem.
Yan Yi held her face and comforted her, "Just close your eyes. If you're scared, hold me tight."
Bai He closed his eyes tightly and nodded desperately.
However, just as he was about to jump, Bai He suddenly said, "Wait, wait, wait a minute!"
Qi Lang said, "No matter how long you wait, you have to give me back the thousand dollars I paid for it."
"No, I just think that if I dance with one or two people, it's not worth it for just one dance, which is two thousand yuan. How about we dance separately?"
Yan Yi frowned.
What a strange train of thought.
"You dare to jump alone?"
"Well, I think we can give it a try."
"No, don't force it." Yan Yi said, "I'll hold you and dance, it will be better."
"Let's separate. Otherwise, someone won't be able to make back their 1,000 yuan, which would be a shame."
Yan Yi looked at Qi Lang, and Qi Lang rubbed his head to indicate that he didn't mean that.
So the staff took off Yan Yi's equipment and let Bai He jump alone.
Yan Yi began to worry. He carefully checked her safety rope over and over again and said to her, "Take a deep breath and relax. It's okay if you're really scared. Don't force yourself. A thousand yuan is nothing. I'll help you pay it."
Bai He nodded, looking at the endless green forest and the dazzling golden spots of the lake below: "Yi, look, it's so beautiful down there!"
"Yeah, I see."
"Remember to record a video for me."
"Yes."
"Qi Lang, take a picture of me!"
Qi Lang fiddled with his telephoto camera: "I've been ready for a long time."
Bai He stood at the edge of the bungee jumping platform, looked at the magnificent scenery, turned around, and stood at the edge of the platform in a back-jumping posture.
"I'll go." Qi Lang couldn't help but take a photo of her. "Good job, Sayuri. You're brave enough to do a back jump."
"This is more handsome." Bai He smiled and made a "yeah" gesture to him, "Call me handsome!"
Before she finished speaking, she jumped down.
Yan Yi looked down worriedly. The girl was screaming, but what she was shouting was: "I'm so handsome!"
He couldn't help laughing.
Qi Lang walked over to Yan Yi, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Haven't you noticed? Sayuri has her own ideas now. She won't let you arrange everything for her like she did when she was little. She's using this way to declare her independence to you."
Yan Yi commented: "You think too much."
"Should we wait and see?"
"Even so, she's still my girlfriend."
Qi Lang: "You see, this is where you and I are different. What you want is her as a person. No matter whether she loves you or not, you just want her."
What Qi Lang has always sought is the harmony of two hearts.
If he didn't have a telepathic connection with her, he would never have indulged in the momentary pleasure of □□.
And this love is far more than just physical possession. Therefore, after going crazy that night, he quickly regained his sanity and accepted the fact that she and Yan Yi were together.
If she feels that Yan Yi is a better choice, the person she is more willing to love in her heart, Qi Lang will never take him away by force, he will wait.
The rope slowly pulled Bai He up. The little girl's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were flashing with excitement.
"How is it?" Yan Yi asked her.
"It's so thrilling! I'm not afraid of heights anymore! It's so much fun, I could do it ten more times!"
"Not bad," Qi Lang praised. "A horror chamber helped you overcome your fear of ghosts, and a bungee jump helped you overcome your fear of heights. Sayuri, you have unlimited potential."
"It's rare that Xiaoqi can give such positive emotional value."
"You have some misunderstanding about me. I'm not the one with the sharp tongue."
Bai He smiled and asked, "How was the photo shoot? Are there any ugly photos? Let me see them."
After these words were spoken, Yan Yi and Qi Lang looked at each other and fell speechless at the same time.
"You two... didn't one of you take any photos or videos?" Bai He looked at them in disbelief, anger building. "What are you doing!"
The staff who witnessed and overheard everything laughed and said, "They were bickering and weren't filming you at all."
Bai He was speechless.
Qi Lang suggested: "How about dancing again?"
“…”
The author has something to say:
We won’t know who the male lead is until the end.
The golden lock has no metaphor, it is just a foreshadowing for the next plot
