Chapter 53 I Will Hurt You
After a long review week, the final exam finally arrived.
Bai He is considered an exam expert. Although she is not as good as Qi Lang, a super academic who can get the No. 1 grade just by reading books, as long as she takes one step at a time and does her best within the scope of her ability, everything will be fine.
Later, Bai He's other architectural photography assignment was submitted to an architectural magazine by her teacher and was accepted. She also unexpectedly received a fee of 5,000 yuan.
Of course, remuneration is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this architectural magazine is quite authoritative in the industry, and usually includes works by professional photographers. Bai He is just a freshman, and being accepted is deeply encouraged by her. So she often takes her camera out of school to take pictures, and she also studies photography classes very seriously.
Seeing this situation, Yan Yi equipped her with several professional lenses, including those for shooting people, architectural scenery, and long-range telephoto lenses.
Although he was an amateur, he spent half a month researching before buying, doing enough homework, and equipped her with all the professional lenses she needed.
Since her boyfriend had done so much, Bai He didn't have the face to continue the cold war, so the two of them naturally reconciled.
As for the scar that caused the conflict, let it scab over. The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention it again. Since no one was willing to change, but they were reluctant to break up, they just pretended it didn't exist.
The last exam was over, and Qi Lang finished it two days earlier than Bai He, but Yan Yi had too many courses, so the three of them booked high-speed rail tickets to go home on the day Yan Yi finished his exams, so they had to wait for him for at least a week.
Su Xiaojing originally wanted to go back with Bai He and the others, but it was difficult to get tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush. Her eldest cousin helped her wait all night and called several kitchen helpers to help her get a ticket, so she had to go back early.
Bai He and Yan Yi sent Su Xiaojing to the high-speed rail station. Yan Yi handed her the suitcase and Bai He reminded her, "Remember to let me know when you get home safely."
"Yeah, you guys should go back quickly. I'm not a child, how could I get lost?"
"It's mainly because you're alone that I'm worried. And our classmate Xiao Jing is also a reason for me to be worried."
"Oh, I love to hear that! My beloved concubine, please tell me more."
"Okay, come in quickly." Bai He pushed her into the security checkpoint and watched her leave.
Yan Yi asked Bai He, "I told you to go back with her before. It'll be more than a week before my exams are over. During this time, all the girls in your dormitory must have left. Are you living alone?"
"It's okay." Bai He said lightly, "I'm not afraid of ghosts anymore."
"real?"
"Of course, no matter how dark it is, it can't be as dark as the horror chamber before. I still walked alone in the dark corridor for a long time."
"It seems you are really desensitized."
"I can only say that the secret room you chose is too extreme."
Yan Yi thought of what Qi Lang said on the bungee jumping platform that day.
She has begun to shed the timid, cowardly, hesitant and indecisive little girl of her childhood, and has gradually become clearer about her interests and strengths, and what she likes and dislikes.
Will become more and more brave, more and more...
He is no longer needed.
Yan Yi suddenly felt a surge of panic. He subconsciously hugged Bai He tightly, holding her so tightly that his whole body was shaking.
This is the first hug since we reconciled. We will not show off in the crowd, because this is the platform of farewell.
Bai He patted him gently and said with a smile, "It's Xiao Jing who left, not me. What's wrong?"
"Suddenly I thought, how many times can I hug you?" He closed his eyes, breathed in the fragrance of her hair, and pressed her into his chest.
"How many times? Can this be counted down?"
"I always feel that you will leave me."
Nothing can be kept.
Like a nightmare curse.
Mom, Dad... everything he cherished and longed for in his life, he could not keep them.
When he was a child, his father took him to the park to fly a kite. In the park, they met a fortune teller with a white beard who said that he was destined to be lonely.
Being arbitrary and self-willed, you cannot keep anything you desire, care about, and work hard for.
In the end, the dream was in vain and I was left alone for the rest of my life.
When my father heard this, his face changed. He angrily accused it of superstition and hurriedly pulled Yan Yi away.
But his mother passed away, and his father passed away too, and his world gradually collapsed.
After two years of bitter life living under someone else's roof, Yan Yi finally had her. She was hotter and warmer than the little sun, illuminating his dark childhood.
He was really afraid that he would not be able to keep her. He worked hard to learn how to cook, take care of her, and force himself to be sensible, to please his uncle and aunt, and to please her.
But the method he thought was right was not the way to keep someone.
That brilliant and proud young man attracted her attention with every move he made, just like gravity, irresistible.
Becoming outstanding and shining to attract her is the only way to keep her, but Qi Lang's wealthy family background, good upbringing, and superior mind always highlight his darkness and gloom.
How unfair God can be is vividly demonstrated in them.
Yan Yi gradually fell into despair and became paranoid. He hid in the shadows and looked at them standing in the sun, feeling jealous.
She and Qi Lang were looking forward, but he was the only one who was trapped in the past forever.
Bai He held his face: "What's wrong?"
Yan Yi said, "How about we go eat French food tonight?"
"Um?"
"It's a Michelin restaurant. The man who owns the place where I work as a part-time tutor often takes his wife there. I think it must be delicious, and I want to take you there to try it, too."
There are so many wonderful things, and he wants to try them all with her.
"Of course, but is today a special day?"
Children from ordinary families would only go to have such an expensive meal on anniversaries or important days.
But Yan Yi hopes that it will become a common thing for her to go to high-end restaurants with him, and he is working hard for this.
Yan Yi thought for a moment and said, "To celebrate the successful completion of your exam?"
"It's certainly worth celebrating, but you have an exam tomorrow. Otherwise, after you finish the exam, why don't we celebrate together?"
"I'm going to try it today. If it tastes good, I'll go back and eat it again after the exam."
"Have you won the lottery recently?"
Not only did he buy her several expensive camera lenses, but he also treated her to a Michelin restaurant.
"No, but I do make a little money, so it's no problem for me to support my girlfriend."
"Okay." Bai He said with an expression that said he couldn't do anything to you, "Then go eat!"
However, when she arrived at the CBD in the city center and saw the elegantly dressed upper-class ladies and gentlemen in the restaurant, wearing formal suits and little dresses, and Bai He and him, wearing down jackets and sneakers, she began to have second thoughts.
But Bai He is the kind of person who feels embarrassed to leave once he enters the store. No matter how difficult it is, he has to grit his teeth and persevere until...
It wasn't until she saw the high prices on the menu that she suddenly stopped caring about whether it was embarrassing or not and quickly whispered to him, "One, let's go! It's too expensive!"
A serving of vegetable tartare costs 450, which is already the cheapest dish. French garlic scallops cost 890, and the lobster stewed in white wine is even more outrageous, costing 2200!
Okay, Bai He is full.
I was overwhelmed by the expensive price.
However, Yan Yi said, "There's a reason for the high price. The owner of the place where I work part-time is a very picky man. If this place doesn't have good flavor, he probably wouldn't come here so often. So why not give it a try? Since we're here now."
Okay, since we're here.
Bai He couldn't bring himself to order the food, so he asked Yan Yi to order. After all, it was his turn to treat everyone, so he just needed to know how much money he had and what dishes he should order.
Yanyi was not stingy at all and brought out all the classic dishes that looked good, including asparagus with mayonnaise as an appetizer, beef stew in red wine as a main course, scallops baked in cream, and French baked snails, etc.
However, the high price was justified. Every dish was a taste bud stimulation that Bai He had never experienced before. She looked at him in surprise and delight: "It's delicious! It's really delicious! You're worthy of being a Michelin three-star chef!"
"I told you so." Yan Yi used his knife and fork to cut a small piece of beef for her with dignity and grace. "It's expensive for a reason."
"But..." she asked him curiously, "How much money have you saved?"
Yan Yi never hid anything from her. He took out his cell phone, opened his mobile banking account, and handed it to her.
Bai He's eyes widened when he saw the number. He couldn't believe it. "It's already seven figures! You're all college students, how did you save so much?"
"Some time ago, Qi Lang and his business school had an entrepreneurial project. I invested a little money and made a small profit."
"Hey, are you working with Qi Lang?"
"No, he's a classmate of his." Yan Yi explained, "Qi Lang is another project. I heard he makes more money, but I don't do business with friends. Firstly, it's easy to fall out, and secondly, I don't want to be controlled by him. So I chose a project that I think has development potential. It's also related to medicine, which happens to be my field, so it's not difficult for me to participate and supervise the whole process."
"That's amazing. So you made over a million just like that?"
"Not that much, just a small profit of fifty."
"Where did the remaining 500,000 come from?" Bai He asked relentlessly.
"I tutored this student of mine and helped him rise from the bottom of the grade to eighth, and he successfully got into a key high school. His father was so happy that he gave me a red envelope of 50 yuan."
"Oh my god!" Bai He covered her mouth. "When you first passed the interview, I remember you said that this rich second-generation kid was an uneducated scoundrel. How did you get him into the top ten in the class?"
It's unbelievable.
No matter how good the translation is, this rich second generation still needs to be willing to study hard!
Yan Yi said calmly, "Because he is a little afraid of me."
Bai He was very curious: "Can you elaborate?"
Yan Yi said in a deep voice, "I told him that if he doesn't make the top ten in his grade, I'll chop off his fingers."
“…”
"If he believed me, I would really do it."
Bai He looked at the boy's deep and calm eyes, and suddenly her heart shuddered.
At this moment, she even believed that he would do that.
"Are you scared?" Yan Yi asked calmly.
"No, no." Bai He pretended to be calm and said, "I was just kidding."
"I'm not kidding."
“…”
He said this so calmly that Bai He was reminded of Qin Shen, the scheming legal expert in the otaku game "Heart-Stirring Morning Light".
"Yi, don't scare me!" She pushed him, "Don't make such jokes!"
Suddenly, he smiled faintly and put the perfectly squared beef cubes on her plate: "Do you really believe it?"
Bai He patted his hand: "I knew you were scaring me!"
"Okay, eat quickly." Yan Yi poured her a glass of red wine.
Bai He lowered her head to eat, silent for a while, occasionally looking up at him. He was holding a silver knife and fork, cutting the medium-rare bloody steak on the plate with elegance and reserve.
Those white hands had long, strong knuckles and faintly visible blue veins. She couldn't help but wonder if he was also like this...cold when he held the scalpel.
Seeing that Bai He was silent, Yan Yi sat next to her and asked softly, "Why, did I really scare you?"
"No."
"Afraid of me?"
“No!”
Yan Yi chuckled and leaned close to her ear: "Wait a moment, can you let me kiss you?"
Bai He blushed: "We're eating, what are you talking about!"
"Oh, then I'll kiss you now." He put his arms around her waist.
"Oh, you have such a greasy mouth."
"What are you afraid of? I'll wash it for you later."
Fortunately, they were sitting in a semi-private window seat, so they could be affectionate with each other without disturbing anyone and no one could see them.
Bai He didn't allow him to kiss her all over the greasy face, but she kissed him lightly to satisfy him a little.
Yan Yi picked up his cup and clinked it with hers, saying gently but seriously, "Bai He, I can give you a good life."
"I know, but I don't care about that. Just like this meal, I'm happy to eat delicious food, but I'm also happy to eat spicy hot pot. The most important thing is to have my family around, everyone is healthy and there are no quarrels, so I'm happy."
Bai He has never lacked material things since she was a child. Although her family is not particularly wealthy, her parents gave their only daughter whatever she wanted and never lacked anything. Therefore, she did not regard a luxurious life as something important to pursue. She felt that having enough money was enough and family was more important.
Bai He said it unintentionally, but Yan Yi was very sensitive to the word "family" she said.
He would rather she said, "I have you by my side."
Instead...use "family" instead.
Yan Yi asked her to drink the wine in his glass, and he drank hers. He wanted to share everything with her, wanted to be close to her, and wanted to take everything from her.
Bai He was a little drunk and became more proactive. She hooked her arms around his neck and kissed his lower lip lightly.
Yan Yi pressed against her, breathing rapidly: "Sister, you're not going back for a while, are you?"
"ah?"
"I'm not going back." Yan Yi pressed against her eagerly, the sweet aroma of red wine wafting between his lips and teeth. "Give it to me, or let me give it to you..."
Bai He was a little drunk. She didn't agree immediately, but she didn't deny it either.
In fact, she doesn't care much about this.
I was embarrassed at first, but after that night in the ancient town, it was just like that, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Bai He asked nervously, "Will it hurt? I'm afraid of pain."
"I'll be gentler and slower." Yan Yi held her hand and kissed it devoutly, "It will hurt you."
