Chapter 56 Secret
One lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
Tang Xin and Bai Xincheng already treated Qi Lang as their own son-in-law. Throughout the holiday, they asked Bai He to invite him over for dinner every day.
Qi Lang basically lived in Bai He's house, using Yan Yi's computer to write his business plans, and occasionally ordering him around in a particularly shameless manner.
"Come, Yi, pour your brother-in-law a cup of tea."
Yan Yi was speechless and wanted to pour the tea on his head, but he couldn't.
After all, it was he who dragged him into this absurd show with them.
On New Year's Eve, three people went to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods.
Qi Lang walked in front, picking and choosing from the shelves, choosing his favorite snacks and drinks. Yan Yi walked behind with the cart, and Bai He held his hand affectionately.
Yan Yi liked her holding her like this. He lowered his head and wanted to kiss her, but Bai He smiled and pushed his face away.
Qi Lang turned around and said, "Orange or Coke for the New Year's Eve dinner? Sayuri, pick one."
"What are you picking? I want them all." Bai He said with a smile.
"Okay, I want both." Qi Lang put them both into the shopping cart.
Bai He asked him, "How long will you stay at our house every day? Could it be that you'll stay until the 15th?"
"Judging from what your parents say, I'm afraid they'll have to keep me here for the rest of my life." Qi Langman said casually.
"Then Yide and I will support you for the rest of your life?"
Qi Lang asked back: "Why don't I support you?"
Bai He said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll pay 100,000 yuan for living expenses first to see if you're sincere."
Qi Lang immediately took out his phone and said, "I'll transfer one million as an advance payment. No thanks."
Bai He leaned over and saw that he was actually going to transfer the money. She quickly held down her phone and said speechlessly, "You're crazy! Really?"
Qi Lang smiled, his dimples deep and his face radiant with sunshine. "With Brother Qi Lang here, you can live a rich and worry-free life, okay?"
"You can't wash clothes, dishes, or cook every day...it's basically like I have to serve you alone."
"Your salary has already reached one million, what else are you not satisfied with?"
"I don't mind. Ask our doctor Yan if he's willing to pay you a million. If he has no objection, I have no objection either."
Qi Lang looked at Yan Yi, who calmly said, "Why don't you buy a five-story luxury manor first to test your sincerity? In addition, all profits must be handed over, and no private money can be kept. Otherwise, I will beat you to death."
Qi Lang said to Bai He, "This is too much."
Bai He also smiled and leaned against Yan Yi: "I think what he said makes sense."
"Do you two think I'm a emotionless money-making machine?"
"No, we treat you as a slave to make money." Yan Yi said.
“Don’t go too far!”
Qi Lang turned sideways, too lazy to pay attention to them, and continued to pick out goods.
Yan Yi still insisted on asking for a kiss from her, so Bai He had no choice but to stand on tiptoe and kiss him on the cheek.
Qi Lang wanted to pretend that he didn’t see it, but his peripheral vision couldn’t let him go.
…
After leaving the supermarket, Bai He suggested buying some clothes for Yan Yi: "Ayi hasn't bought clothes for a long time. He must wear something new for the New Year."
Qi Lang said, "I'm good at buying clothes."
He brought Yan Yi and Bai He to the men's fashion brand store on the third floor of the mall. Bai He picked and chose in front of the shelves, took out one piece after another and tried them on Yan Yi, asking Yan Yi if he liked them.
Yan Yi said he had no objection and that any outfit was fine.
He is indeed not picky. He has a hanger-on figure and can wear his own style even if he wears her father's old clothes.
However, every one of Bai He's picks was rejected by Qi Lang.
"earth."
“Ugly.”
"Would you choose your own boyfriend?"
"Then come on." Bai He was so angry that he went on strike.
Qi Lang is very good at dressing himself up and has a good eye. He picked out several tops for Yan Yi that all looked good. Yan Yi has always dressed very refreshingly, and Qi Lang gave him a trendy and cool boy look, making him even more beautiful and outstanding.
Bai He asked to pick one from them, but Qi Lang never picked and chose. He bought everything he liked and asked the clerk to make the order directly, and he swiped his card first.
"Hey! I can't ask you to pay for this."
"If I'm here, can I get a share of the money you give me?"
Bai He looked at Yan Yi, who didn't care and said, "If he wants to give, then give it. He's been living in our house for free for so many days, he deserves to pay a little."
After returning home, my parents had already prepared a New Year's Eve dinner and asked the three of us to come into the house.
Yan Yi went into the kitchen to help Bai Xincheng cook. Bai Xincheng looked at his new clothes and quickly said, "Don't get them stained with oil. Go out. We don't need you."
Yan Yi obediently went out, took off his clothes, and only wore a high-necked gray sweater, then came back to help.
"You kid..." He smiled helplessly, "Did your sister buy you the new clothes?"
"Qi Lang bought it."
"Oh." Bai Xincheng laughed and said loudly to the outside of the door, "He really is our son-in-law. He even knows to buy clothes for his younger brother."
Qi Lang's shameless voice came from outside: "This is what I should do."
Translation: ...
That evening, the family watched the Spring Festival Gala while eating New Year's Eve dinner. Bai He and Qi Lang chattered about every single program, like two little sparrows, with endless things to say. Yan Yi mostly just listened in silence, rarely saying a word.
The three of them have been getting along like this for many years.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the three of them went downstairs to set off fireworks. Since firecrackers and other firecrackers were not allowed in the city, Qi Lang got a fairy wand and asked Bai He to light it. Yan Yi's lighter kept getting blown out by the wind, so Bai He handed him her fairy wand to spark it. Qi Lang also handed him his, and together they helped him light the fireworks.
The three of them played with the sparkling fairy wands for a while.
The fireworks illuminated Bai He's delicate face, and her eyes were also illuminated by brilliant fireworks. The atmosphere was extremely exciting. Yan Yi and Qi Lang almost took out their phones at the same time, wanting to take a photo of her.
Bai He quickly put her hands up to cover her face: "What are you doing?! Stop taking ugly pictures of me."
Qi Lang smiled and handed the ghost photo of her rolling her eyes to Yan Yi to see. Yan Yi said, "Pass it to me."
"good."
Bai He: ...
After the three of them set off their fireworks, they went to the beach to watch others play.
Some people celebrate New Year's Eve on a cruise ship, setting off fireworks that light up half the night sky.
Bai He sat on the soft sand with her head resting on Yan Yi's shoulder. Yan Yi was afraid that she would be cold, so he put a red scarf around her head and tied it tightly.
As the New Year countdown approached, Bai He closed his eyes and made a wish: "My New Year's wish is to become an amazing photographer in the future!"
Qi Lang said: "I hope I can see it again in my lifetime..."
He stopped talking halfway through.
"What do you want to see again?" Bai He asked curiously.
Qi Lang didn't say anything more: "I suddenly remembered that wishes won't work if they are spoken out!"
"No! I've already said it all."
When Qi Lang looked at her, fireworks bloomed and sparkled in his pupils.
I hope to see you wearing ballet shoes and dancing Swan Lake again.
Just for me...
A wish that cannot be expressed.
Maybe it's a secret that will be kept deep in my heart forever.
Bai He tilted his head to look at Yan Yi: "Yi, what is your New Year's wish?"
Yan Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment: "If I say it out loud, it might not work."
"Just listen to his nonsense."
"Tell me quickly, maybe I can help you realize it."
Yan Yi thought for a moment and said to her, "May your wish come true."
…
In the second half of the night, Yan Yi locked the door of his room, then walked into Bai He's room and locked the door with a "click".
Double insurance.
Bai He, who was lying in bed and wishing "Happy New Year" to his roommates, suddenly sat up when he noticed something.
"One, what to do?"
Yan Yi walked to the bedside and gently touched her lips: "Shh, don't make a sound."
He stood condescendingly beside her, lowering his head, caressing every inch of her skin with gentle and patient eyes, examining...
Outside the window, the crisp sound of firecrackers could be heard from time to time.
Bai He sat on the edge of the bed, legs crossed, looking at Yan Yi helplessly.
In the silent night, even breathing becomes clearly audible.
She saw the surging desire in the boy's dark eyes, so she took his hand. Yan Yi put his hand to her lips, gently pushed it down, and revealed the rosy lip flesh.
He sat down on the bed, fiddling with the small buttons on her white nightgown, tentatively unbuttoning one, and then looked at her...
Bai He looked away, her cheeks flushing redder, and asked shyly, "Can you turn off the lights?"
Translation: "No."
As he spoke, he had already stripped away all of her, gazing at her with cherishment.
Bai He felt his gaze like sparks, splashing on her. She subconsciously reached out to cover her neck, the burned skin. Yan Yi said, "I'm not him, there's no need to hide."
After saying that, he pressed a hot kiss to the wound on her neck.
Bai He's heart melted by him and she reached out to hug him.
Yan Yi said: "No hurry."
He lowered his head, fiddled with her, and then held her gently.
The girl was even more at a loss and quickly pushed his hand away, but how could she break free? Yan Yi pressed down on her forcefully. She felt helpless and had to hug him to prevent him from seeing her blushing face.
Yan Yi lifted her face and kissed her ear moistly.
He also took off his clothes and finally agreed to turn off the lights. He hugged her and lay down. He was afraid that she would be cold so he pulled the quilt over her. The two of them hugged each other tightly in the warm bed, their skin touching without any obstruction.
Bai He thought that the scene she had imagined many times would happen next, but Yan Yi just kissed her, rubbed her and helped her... but did not take any further action.
Bai He seemed to be strangled by him, but she surrendered and clung to his legs before being taken away. Yan Yi covered her mouth to prevent her from making any sound.
Her whole body was exhausted and powerless...Yan Yi kissed her, a deep kiss, and the kiss lasted for a long time.
After the ultimate satisfaction, there was a long period of relaxation. She felt so comfortable that she lay on the boy's chest, raised her head, and faced his sharp jawline.
She whispered, "One, don't you want it?"
Yan Yi held her shoulders with one hand and let her sleep in his arms: "I think that's enough."
"But, you didn't..."
“I feel very satisfied.”
"I'll help you."
After Bai He finished speaking, she reached out her hand, but he grabbed it and pulled it back to her chest.
"Why, Hajime?"
It was obvious that he was the person I longed for the most from the beginning, but at this point, he refused to give in no matter what.
Yan Yi didn't say anything. He closed his eyes, trying to suppress the indescribable sadness that was surging in his chest.
I hope you get what you want and your dreams come true.
But I am the culprit who prevents your dream from coming true.
Yan Yi leaned close to her ear and asked softly, "Have you been happy these days, Bai He?"
"Happy." She said without hesitation, "Why do you ask?"
"You seem to be happier when you're with Qi Lang. He always makes you laugh."
Bai He thought he was jealous, and she shook her head vigorously: "No!"
"It's okay to lie to me, but don't lie to your own heart."
Bai He hugged him even tighter, pressing her face against his hard chest: "I like you, really."
"I know, but I think... maybe it would be better to be his younger brother. These past few days I've been thinking, if things keep going this way, my uncle and aunt will know, and Aunt Angelia will be here too, I'll just give you back to him..."
The boy's voice trembled slightly, "But I can't let go."
Bai He also hugged him, holding back her heartache: "Don't let go, I will marry you, and we will be together forever."
"But are you really happy?"
Bai He held his face and kissed away the tears that he could no longer hold back: "I will love you, Yi, give me some time, I will give you the kind of love you want..."
The next day at noon, Bai He's parents changed into their newly bought clothes. Bai Xincheng shaved his beard clean, and Tang Xin asked Yan Yi to curl her hair with a curling iron for the whole morning, just in order to meet Qi Lang's mother Angelia later.
"Hayi, do you think I look better with curly hair or straight hair?"
Yan Yi certainly wouldn't just say they all looked good. He patted Tang Xin's shoulders and said gently, "I think curly hair is more elegant, while straight hair makes you look younger. It depends on what style you want, Auntie."
"Then let's go with curly hair," Tang Xin said worriedly. "Qi Lang's mother is quite charming, and she's said to look very young. She must have been using cosmetic surgery for a long time. I'm really afraid I'll feel ashamed when I see her."
"Auntie is different from her. Aging gracefully is a unique temperament."
"Yike is really good at talking." Tang Xin felt happy.
Bai Xincheng said, "Ayi, do you know how to tie a tie? Come and help uncle."
Yan Yi walked over and skillfully tied Bai Xincheng's tie.
At this time, Bai He stood by the door for a long time like a wooden stake, took a deep breath, and said to them: "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I lied to you, Qi Lang is not my boyfriend, my boyfriend is actually..."
"Bai He!" Yan Yi suddenly interrupted her.
She confronted him...
If you want to be honest, you will be in danger whether you stick your head out or hide it.
Yan Yi was clearly unhappy, and he had been unhappy the entire year! She didn't want to continue making mistakes like this.
Finally, under the boy's sharp gaze, Bai He finally swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue and said, "Qi Lang and I have broken up, so when you meet Aunt Angelia later, please don't mention Qi Lang and me anymore."
She looked at Yan Yi with a guilty and distressed look, "Don't mention it again in the future."
"ah?"
"ah???"
Bai Xincheng and Tang Xin looked at each other in confusion.
"Why did you break up?"
"Why are you just like a child playing house?"
"It was just a joke." Bai He muttered, lowering his head. "Who says dating nowadays means you have to commit to a lifetime relationship? We're just trying to get along. Habits, personalities, and values... we haven't even gotten used to each other yet, so why are we going to meet their parents? I feel really pressured."
"What are you guys arguing about? Did you have a couple's fight?" Tang Xin held Bai He's hand. "It's normal to have a small quarrel. We don't have to break up."
"No, anyway, don't mention us when you meet Aunt Angelia today."
"Little Lily, Daddy's going to be mad if you do this," Bai Xincheng said. "Are you kidding me? Dad told me before that your family backgrounds weren't a good match, but you insisted on being with her. Now you're talking about breaking up. Have you figured out what you want?!"
Qi Lang, who came to pick them up excitedly, stood at the door for a long time and didn't go in.
"Uncle and aunt." He knocked lightly on the door. "Don't blame her. I was the one who broke up with her. We..."
He tried his best to suppress the redness in his eyes, "We have fate, but no destiny."
