Chapter 58 Group Chat
Outside the bathroom door, Qi Lang vaguely heard the suppressed sobbing inside.
Adults are not children. They will try very hard to hold back their tears and not cry loudly. They will only cry out loud when they really can't help it.
She didn't want anyone to hear it.
Qi Lang's scalp was numb and his internal organs were in discomfort.
He raised his hand, fingertip ready to knock on the door, hesitated for a few seconds, and looked at the boy at the table: "Aren't you coming to see your girlfriend?"
"It wasn't me who made her cry." Yan Yi flicked the ice water drops on the beer bottle with his slender fingertips. He didn't stand up and had no expression.
Qi Lang stood by the door and called her softly: "Bai He..."
"I know this decision was sudden..." He put his hand on the door, unsure what to say. "Or tell me what you're thinking."
"Don't be sad."
"I'm not just leaving. I'll come back to see you often."
Although he said that, Qi Lang knew that he probably wouldn't come back often, otherwise there would be no point in leaving.
As my mother said, looking into the distance is to stop our eyes from always staying on them.
He didn't want to strangle his heart day and night, nor did he want to indulge in such morbid emotions.
"Bai He, I don't know what to do with you like this."
"When we were little, I made you cry so many times. I even made you cry when I didn't want to leave."
"Tell me, will you? Tell me what you think?"
Suddenly, the door opened, and a waitress who knew him well came out and smiled at him: "Principal Qi, my heart is melting just by hearing that."
Qi Lang: ...
"Do you want to talk to your sister?" she joked.
"Sorry, I'm not very interested in my sister." Qi Lang scratched his head.
She said with a smile, "So you're only interested in your younger sister, right?"
Behind her, Bai He came out and glanced at Qi Lang: "Why are you mumbling at the door of the women's restroom like a hooligan?"
Qi Lang was surprised: "You..."
The girl was in a normal mood and had a calm expression, but her eyes and nose seemed a little red, as if she had been crying.
He wasn't quite sure.
Bai He walked to the pool, washed his hands, and then patted his face with water.
Qi Lang looked at her anxiously: "Brother Pang Yi said you were crying."
"A bug just flew into my eye." Bai He carefully examined her slightly red and swollen eyelids in front of the mirror. "It's so uncomfortable. I've been doing this for a long time. I don't know if it will get infected."
Her superb acting skills made Qi Lang a little unsure: "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Qi Lang breathed a sigh of relief, but a sense of loss inexplicably rose in his heart: "Let me help you take a look."
He came over, pried open her eyes with his index finger and thumb, and examined her.
“See the little bug?”
“No, there’s only bloodshot. I’m worried about infection. I’ll go buy some eye drops later.
"good."
Qi Lang was still holding her eyelids up to examine her. With her eyelids held up by him, she was forced to admire his face from a close distance.
It has been a long time since I have seen him so closely. He has grown up, his facial features have obviously matured a lot, and his deep hazel eyes are still as clear and clean as before.
We won’t see each other again in the future.
Seeing tears welling up in the little girl's eyes again, his fine eyelashes trembled and he quickly let her go.
"It's sore." Bai He lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.
Qi Lang is not a fool. How can it be the little fly's fault that his eyes and nose are both red?
Bai He took a slight breath, trying his best to suppress the sourness rising in his throat, turned his back, and hurriedly washed his hands.
The sound of rushing water splashed against the table. Bai He let the cold water wash over the back of his hands and said with his head down, "Qi Lang, there will be a time to ride the wind and waves. I wish you a bright future."
"You still remember this."
"I remember every word you said."
Qi Lang's breathing was a little tight. He knew he should restrain himself and not indulge his emotions. That would be immoral...
If the human heart could unconditionally obey reason, there would be no pain.
"I'll go buy you some eye drops so you don't get an infection."
Qi Lang turned around and strode out of the Northeast Dumpling Restaurant, not wanting any of them to see him losing control of his emotions.
I thought it would be a peaceful goodbye.
How can I be calm? Every day, every minute, every second of the past two years, the scar on Qi Lang's heart has been healing and recurring... How can I be calm!
Bai He walked back to Yan Yi and sat down. Yan Yi held her hand and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Bai He said guiltily, "A small insect flew into my eye, and Qi Lang went to buy medicine."
"Um."
"It's really a little bug."
"It's okay." Yan Yi pulled her to sit down, stroking her fingernails and her small crescent moon. "If you don't want him to leave, I'll help you...keep him."
She blurted out: "Why do you stay?"
Yan Yi's eyes deepened and he held her hand tighter.
There was a hint of loss in his eyes, which disappeared in a flash.
"If you want, I can do it for you." Yan Yi's voice was deep, "I have a reason he can't refuse."
"What?"
"Of course it's a secret I can't tell you."
"You still have secrets from me."
"Yes." Yan Yi said sadly, "There is one."
It was a secret he would never tell, hidden in the humid early summer of graduation, hidden in that piece of chocolate wrapper.
Bai He felt him holding her hand tightly. Although he did not show his emotions, she could sense his emotions surging.
She immediately regained her sanity, her heart filled with guilt: "Yan Yi, I don't want you to do anything for me. It's a good choice for him to go back. He didn't belong to us in the first place. It was an accident that made us become friends."
Yan Yi's hands loosened, and his heart relaxed as well.
He was really afraid that Bai He would beg him. Yan Yi couldn't refuse her tears, couldn't refuse any of her requests. Whatever she wanted... Yan Yi would help her to grab it and get it for her.
If she wanted him, how could he give it to her?
"Sister, I will accompany you, okay? I won't leave. I won't go anywhere."
Yan Yi held her tear-stained face in his hands and whispered urgently in her ear, "I will smile more often in the future, make you happy more, be as cheerful as him, socialize with more people, and never be gloomy and withdrawn again. I can do all these..."
Can you treat me as him...
Bai He was moved to tears by his words: "Why do you say such things?"
Yan Yi wiped away her tears: "I'm sorry."
At the store entrance, Qi Lang clenched the medicine bag in his hand. He stood at the door for a while, waiting for the young couple to finish their intimacy, before slowly walking inside: "Another little fly flew into your eye?"
His tone was playful, but the smile on his face was forced.
Yan Yi let go of Bai He, and Bai He wiped away her tears: "Yes, yes, yes."
Qi Lang sat down, opened the medicine box with his slender fingertips, unscrewed the cap and wanted to give her a drop, but then he seemed to remember something and handed it to Yan Yi beside him: "You do it, I won't hold back."
Yan Yi took the eye drops and put two drops into Bai He's mouth. Qi Lang went to the front desk to check out. The eldest cousin looked at the young couple and whispered to Qi Lang, "After you left, they whispered to each other, and I heard everything."
Qi Lang said disdainfully: "Can you have some professional ethics?"
"Anyway, I'm definitely on your side." The cousin approached him mysteriously, "Based on what they said, plus my speculation, I've come to a major conclusion. Do you want to hear it..."
Qi Lang showed little interest: "I'm not interested in knowing the private conversations between young lovers."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Hey hey!" The eldest cousin tried to stop him, "No."
They walked out of the store and headed towards the gate of Beili University. Yan Yi and Bai He naturally walked in front holding hands, and Qi Lang followed behind them, not too far away, watching their backs from a distance.
It's time to go.
If this continues, he doesn't know how his heart will be twisted...
"Qi Lang." Bai He turned around and asked, "Where are we going camping? When do we leave? What do we need to prepare?"
"The sooner the better. After summer, you won't be able to find fireflies anymore." Qi Lang replied, "I'll post the things you need to pay attention to in the group tonight."
"Oh, okay."
Bai He walked into the dormitory building and turned back to wave goodbye to them.
The two men watched the girl disappear at the end of the iron gate, then looked at each other.
Yan Yi suggested: "Play basketball?"
"Let's go."
…
At nine o'clock in the evening, Qi Lang sent the camping address - Qingze Mountain in the WeChat group of [Liangshan Heroes Trio].
Bai He waited for ten minutes, but there was no further news.
Lily: ???
7:?
Lily: "No more?"
7: "Oh, one more thing, bring your ID."
Lily: “…”
I know he is not good at arranging travel itineraries. Oh no, it’s not that he is not good at it, it’s that the young master doesn’t know how to make plans at all. When he goes out to play, he just picks up his bag and leaves. He has money to travel around the world and go wherever he wants and stay wherever he wants. There is no need to make any careful plans for travel.
He was so careless this time! After all, he was the one who took the lead in going camping, so he should take a little responsibility!
Lily: "Excuse me, Mr. 7, what are we going to eat when we go camping? Should we bring our own food or find a restaurant? If we do, we'll need to prepare it in advance. So, have you prepared anything? We also need tents, small tables and chairs, and a small cart—camping equipment like that. And, should we go by car or by bus? We always have to have a plan for the basics of food, clothing, housing, and transportation!"
7:.
Bai He sighed, feeling very tired.
Judging from his reaction, this guy definitely didn't make any arrangements.
7: "Why don't you just give me some more information and make a list so I can get them ready."
Lily: "What use are you to me?"
7: "[Smile]"
7: "We'll see when the time comes."
Lily: "We can't wait and see! We need to plan it out these few days! Get everything we need ourselves!"
7: "Here's the money. Help me buy it, or go with me."
Lily: "I choose to give up this trip. [Smile]"
7: "There is no curfew in the dorm building yet."
Lily: "So?"
7: "I can still come over and beat you up."
Lily: "Come on, come on, I'm afraid of you. [Hook]"
Qi Lang didn't reply for a while, and Bai He was a little nervous, thinking that this guy might really come. He couldn't come up to the girls' dormitory, and Bai He was afraid that he would go crazy downstairs and embarrass her.
It's so embarrassing.
Lily: "You're not really coming, are you? @7"
Lily: "@7, if you dare, I'll end our friendship right here and now."
Lily: "Qi Lang! You are not allowed to come over here!"
She sat on the bed nervously for nearly twenty minutes before Qi Lang finally replied to her.
7: "Dad is taking a shower."
7: "Little idiot."
Lily: “…”
Lily: "Don't let me see you for the next two days!"
The two people were arguing back and forth in the group. While they were arguing, Yan Yi had already compiled an extremely detailed itinerary plan, including setting the departure time one day in advance, because it would take another four hours to drive from Beili to the foot of the mountain.
In addition, he compiled travel and camping guides from other hikers, selected the best hiking routes and bases where camping is allowed, as well as routes to areas and campsites where hikers have seen fireflies.
Lily: "@7, are you ashamed?"
7: “No.”
7: “He’s not a normal man.”
1: "Is it so difficult to admit my excellence?"
7: "[Smile]"
Lily: "My boyfriend is absolutely slaying that idiot in every way."
7: “Is it too much to say this in the group?”
Lily: "How is that excessive?"
7: "It hurts people's self-esteem."
Lily: "First of all, you have to have self-respect."
7: "Okay, he's good at everything."
He didn't reply. Bai He was looking up the guide and would occasionally jump over to check the group messages.
The inner friction began to reflect on herself again: Is it too much to joke around from time to time? Although I usually joke like this, it seems that... boys all want to save face, so she shouldn't say that.
"You won't be angry, will you?"
"Are you really angry?"
"Talk, talk, talk."
After a while, Qi Lang sent her a camping checklist he had compiled, which included the necessities for girls to camp overnight.
7: "【Rolling Eyes】"
Lily: "Did you go look up guides?"
7: "He has done everything he should have done. I don't have anything to add. Please see if you can use it."
Lily: "Yanyi will bring these things."
After more than ten seconds, he replied: "Oh."
Lily: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
7: “I’m not angry.”
Lily: "I thought you were angry."
7: "I'm not him. I'm not that stingy."
Lily: "When will you return to Hong Kong?"
7: “Next week.”
Lily: "So urgent?"
7: "The exchange student application was approved today. Next week is the latest. If you have time to come to Hong Kong City, I will take you and your puppy boyfriend to see the world."
Lily: "Come if you provide food and lodging."
7: "I'll cover you, not him. [Smile]"
Bai He was looking up the strategy guide while chatting with him casually until Yan Yi sent her a private message dialog box -
1: "You talked to him a lot."
1: "Can you talk to me for a moment?"
The author has something to say:
Care of the puppy
The puppy is about to break
