GBT Chapter 63
by VolareChapter 58 (1)
A person came from a large ship of unknown nationality. He was less than 170cm tall, with soft hair plastered to his ears, looking very well-behaved and small. His deer-like eyes darted around uneasily. He was wearing an ill-fitting, old, oversized fur coat, the hem of which dragged to his thighs, like a child who had secretly put on an adult’s clothes.
Zhang Zhen’s brow furrowed slightly.
It was that kid.
The one he had casually saved on the road…
“Brother?!”
Li Jue spotted a familiar face among a row of strange men on the deck. He shouted in surprise, “Brother—”
Accompanied by that shout, was his excited, small figure running over.
Several lamps were lit on the deck, making the light quite bright. Zhang Zhen took a step back, a very obvious sign of resistance.
Li Jue stopped abruptly, clutching his hands together helplessly.
Those who came out at this time were all actors from the Qi family, who had received the script. While maintaining their full emotions, they also sized up the character who had boarded the ship.
Not old, but strangely exquisite and beautiful, a small face haggard like fragile, high-quality jade, skin even more tender than their Brother Zhen, which was rare. It was just that he could cry too easily. As soon as he called out “benefactor,” tears streamed down his face.
Seeing Brother Zhen take a step back, it was even more terrible. His crying made his small body tremble slightly.
And the look in Brother Zhen’s eyes was so… ardent, remorseful, shy, at a loss, guilty, so complicated.
What was going on, a reunion of close relatives?
Brother Zhen didn’t have that kind of reaction.
Zhang Zhen certainly didn’t have that reaction. He only had one younger brother, whose surname was Jiao, and his name was Jiao Bai.
The brother on the left asked, “Brother Zhen, who is that?”
“A kid I saved once.” Zhang Zhen, facing the deep sea night wind, was cold from the inside out, without a trace of warmth. He looked at the boy who cautiously took a step closer, looked at him with fear of angering him, and was speechless.
Li Jue stopped at a distance that wouldn’t make both parties embarrassed, his mood difficult to calm down: “Brother, I really didn’t expect to meet you at sea. Last time you saved me, I didn’t even have time to thank you. How’s your injury…”
Zhang Zhen interrupted: “Are you looking for companions?”
Li Jue blankly said “ah,” Zhang Zhen repeated it. Li Jue suddenly broke away from the emotion of unexpectedly meeting his benefactor, and hurriedly said anxiously: “Yes, yes, my companion is lost, he… they are separated from me, brother, have you seen them on your ship?”
Zhang Zhen pointed upwards: “Do you know whose ship this is?”
Li Jue subconsciously looked up high, the dark cloth tied to the top of the mast fluttering in the wind.
“Qi family.” Zhang Zhen said.
Li Jue blinked his eyes blankly: “Qi…”
Jiao Bai said that he had dealings with the Qi family, and also said that he wanted to go to West City… Li Jue couldn’t help but take a few steps forward, almost tripping over a rope.
“We are entrusted by Shen Total, to go to sea to find Jiao Bai.” Zhang Zhen said, “Is he yours?”
“Companion!” Li Jue’s tone was passionate, “He is my companion, we stayed on a cargo ship together for more than a week, the ship didn’t know what it hit, the hold broke several holes, the ship was going to sink, we had to escape, now the ship has exploded, I don’t know…”
Zhang Zhen suddenly spoke: “He’s dead.”
Li Jue’s mouth was still slightly open, but he couldn’t make a sound. The words that Second Brother had told him to say, he had forgotten them all, his mind buzzing. Jiao Bai had really gone to heaven, gone, really gone…
Second Brother was still waiting for the results, Big Brother seemed to be very concerned too, what to do now? He couldn’t face them.
“Dead…” Li Jue said two words with difficulty.
Zhang Zhen’s dark eyes looked into the distance: “When we found the cargo ship, it had already exploded. We haven’t notified Shen Total yet, this bad news is too unexpected.”
Li Jue looked confusedly at the people on both sides of Brother, wanting to confirm it without giving up.
Those people all had silent, sad faces.
Li Jue staggered unsteadily, the fur’s fur being blown down by the wind, vaguely outlining his thin and weak body lines.
Zhang Zhen’s mood at this time was very different from when he saw this child at the intersection last time. At that time, he felt that the child was clean and simple, and the way he ran to the road in a panic for a woolen cup sleeve touched the softest place in his heart.
When he reacted, he had already rushed over, pushed the person away from the oncoming car, and took the hit himself.
Zhang Zhen’s unextinguished conscience and kindness was guiding his emotional direction. He didn’t regret saving the person, but he hoped that this child would not appear in front of Jiao Bai again.
Spending Jiao Bai’s money from selling himself for two years, wearing the life jacket he found, and escaping with the person who stabbed him.
Zhang Zhen was not clear about the other details on the cargo ship. Just this series of actions, he had already found it difficult to accept. He felt sorry for Jiao Bai.
Zhang Zhen ignored the harmless-looking boy: “Go back to your ship.”
Li Jue stood in the wind with his back to the black sea, he raised his tearful eyes: “Brother… I…”
“Watch your address, there is no brotherhood between you and me.” Zhang Zhen yelled fiercely, “Goodbye!”
Li Jue still wanted to say something: “Can I see Qi Total?”
Zhang Zhen: “…”
He grabbed the walkie-talkie: “Third Brother, someone wants to see you.”
Li Jue treated it like a life-saving straw, taking the opportunity to cry out: “Qi Total, I am Jiao Bai’s childhood friend, I really want to know him…”
“Xiao Bai is already gone, whether he has childhood friends or not, who knows.” A gentle whisper came from the walkie-talkie, but between the lines it revealed a coldness that rejected people from a thousand miles away. “A Zhen, it’s late, I don’t want the ship to be too noisy.”
Zhang Zhen pressed off the walkie-talkie, and looked at Li Jue.
Li Jue stopped crying, so embarrassed that he couldn’t stay any longer.
The others in the Qi family shouted in unison, full of murderous aura: “Please leave!”
The arc of Li Jue’s shoulders shrank in fear, he covered his face and sniffed, his steps faltering as he returned to the ship the way he came.
Only a small lamp was lit on the deck of the black ship. Qi Lin stood in the darkness, and as soon as Li Jue came back, he immediately asked: “How is it?”
“…Dead.” Li Jue’s consciousness was drifting away, his whole person was somewhat unclear.
Qi Lin grabbed his wrist hard, his breathing heavy, his expression on the verge of collapse: “Did you see the expressions on the people on the ship clearly?”
“See, saw clearly, they were all sad.” Li Jue’s face was several degrees whiter than before he went, “Jiao Bai really is…”
Behind them came Qi Zi Zhi’s vague voice: “Where’s the body?”
“Big Brother…” Li Jue wanted to run to Big Brother, his hand was gripped so painfully by Second Brother, it was about to break, he was in so much pain that he shed tears, “The ship exploded, the body must be…”
“Bang”
When the wheelchair turned backwards, it hit the ship’s wall, getting stuck there. Qi Zi Zhi’s hands holding onto the wheelchair were very forceful, he was desperately trying to turn the wheelchair away, as if if he didn’t leave, he would see something.
The intravenous needle hole on the back of his hand bulged with a blood blister, the surrounding blood vessels showing a terrifying state, ready to burst at any time.
“Without seeing the body, I don’t believe he’s dead.”
Qi Zi Zhi’s voice was mixed with the harsh sound of the wheelchair rubbing violently against the ship’s wall, “That child is cunning, he wouldn’t foolishly wait on the deck for the ship to sink, he would definitely find a way to save himself.”
“His purpose of scheming against me hasn’t been achieved yet, it’s impossible for him to die.”
The wheelchair finally turned out, Qi Zi Zhi immediately turned it back into the ship, as if the fishy smell of the sea breeze made him uncomfortable, he wanted to go back to his room, he had to go back now.
A force stopped Qi Zi Zhi’s movement.
Qi Lin grabbed the wheelchair, his fingers tightening, he pushed the wheelchair in, his steps were unhurried, his voice was very soft: “Big Brother, you snatched the only two life jackets on the ship, and stabbed him, have you forgotten?”
Qi Zi Zhi numbly slumped in the wheelchair, the bandaged half of his face and one leg were numb.
“Actually, I was also deceiving myself with a fluke, and wanted to let Li Jue board the ship to confirm it. No matter how smart Jiao Bai is, he is just a mortal, a body of flesh and blood.” Qi Lin pushed the wheelchair, his tone on the corridor was that of whispering, “When the ship exploded, how could he escape, grow wings and fly? That’s an angel, he’s not, he’s just an ordinary high school student.”
Qi Zi Zhi coughed so hard that his entire internal organs were tearing, painfully misplaced: “You don’t understand him, he can survive in adversity…”
“Big Brother,” Qi Lin stopped, he went to the front, and fixed his big brother’s shaking IV tube and frame, “I know, you told me all the wrong things you did to him, wanting me to remember, wanting me to make up for him.”
“Now,”
Qi Lin wiped away the blood that flowed out of Big Brother’s hand, “There’s no chance.”
A drop of warm liquid fell down, hitting Qi Zi Zhi’s hand. At that moment, Second Brother shattered the last corner of his world with one sentence.
—Jiao Bai didn’t even know until he died, that the person who tortured him, made him suffer humiliation, and sent him to the road to the underworld, was his own close relative.
“I envy you so much.”
“Really, your big brother is so good to you, I’m very envious.”
“…”
“I also want to have a brother who takes care of me and cares about me.”
“But I don’t have one.”
“…”
It seemed like someone was talking,
It was that child with tears in his eyes, envy, and light.
Qi Zi Zhi suddenly woke up from a dream, and suddenly realized that he was in a land of ice and snow, but under his feet was a black flame purgatory.
Ice edges and fire pillars stabbed up from the top of his head and the soles of his feet at the same time, piercing through his flesh and bones, and collided violently in his heart, he was in so much pain that his eyes bulged out, and he made a silent roar, his limbs convulsing violently.
After that, his head tilted to the back of the wheelchair, forgetting to breathe, losing the basic physiological abilities of a living person.
He lost control of his bowels.
[Congratulations to player Jiao Bai, the second of your friends has an activity level that has broken the 50 level, please continue to work hard.]
“Congratulations, congratulations.”
Jiao Bai smiled happily, he was one step closer to completing the task, and the little assistant was also happy.
Qi Zi Zhi’s activity level finally broke 50.
Jiao Bai entered his data column, glanced over it, and went straight to his World Room.
Then,
Jiao Bai was stunned.
Friends’ World Rooms are all divided into five sections, just with different lives and different worlds. This was something Jiao Bai expected.
What he didn’t expect was that there was only one family photo in Qi Zi Zhi’s [Childhood Treasures] section. It was yellowed and old, and the corners had traces of being touched many times.
The photo showed the old couple from the Qi family, and four children.
To be precise, it was two children and two babies. All four people were wearing a jade pendant around their necks. The front faced outwards, with words engraved on it.
Jiao Bai looked at the photo, and in his ears were the adoptive parents’ instructions, the male appearance of inquiring about his background, and their guesses, mentioning… a jade pendant engraved with the date of birth.
Finally, what popped up in Jiao Bai’s mind was this tool man who had never appeared in this comic, but was very important, The Big Mistake Mistress.
The original owner and Qi Shuang, two life charts that could both prosper Shen Ji.
Jiao Bai: “…”
No way? No way, no way???
Wouldn’t it be so…
Jiao Bai quickly went to see Qi Zi Zhi’s [Childhood Memories] section, and found that there was no content in it, it was empty, the interface was a capital [NONE].
There was content in the third [Youth Achievement], just one.
The prompt was that it had just been updated two seconds ago.
It was a recording.
-I found my long-lost third younger brother.
There was static in the recording, like rolling sea waves, or like the lingering life of a madman.
And the background of this section was the debris of the cargo ship explosion wrapped in blood and white flowers, spread all over. While making people dizzy, they experienced a sadness soaked in darkness.
Jiao Bai closed his eyes, the most intense dog blood of this wave of seafaring was not that he was stabbed, that Qi Zi Zhi and Li Jue abandoned him to escape, but here.
Not bad.
The most concentrated scoop had only now come down, splashing on his face.
Jiao Bai shook his head several times. As an old fan who had seen too much dog blood, he thought he had already figured out the routine of that type, but he didn’t expect it.
Perhaps there was suspicion, but it was subconsciously ignored by him, he didn’t want to get involved with the Qi family.
In “Broken Wings,” the original owner died at the beginning, he was the first of all the tool people to eat a lunch box, his background was not mentioned, it was not important.
After all, all the plots were to serve Li Jue and Shen Er An’s lifelong entanglement.
Jiao Bai started to suspect that the original owner’s background had secrets after he overheard the conversation between the original owner’s adoptive parents and the original owner in Xi Yuan. Before that, he had never thought that there could be such a thing.
So,
The original owner was killed by his own younger brother driving a car.
Jiao Bai clicked his tongue, Wang Chu Qiu, tell me, how sad.
If I were you…
Jiao Bai complained, I wouldn’t be you.
Next, Jiao Bai continued to tour Qi Zi Zhi’s World Room, his [Middle-Aged Failure] was the same as [Childhood Memories], both were “NONE”.
Again “NONE.”
Jiao Bai sighed, Qi Zi Zhi lived a more failed life than Shen Ji, walking through his life, he didn’t catch what he wanted.
However, judging from Qi Zi Zhi’s activity level and the latest content in [Youth Achievement], Qi Lin should have met up with him, and also told him the information he had investigated in his hometown.
Fate had played an ironic joke on him.
At first, he evaded it, not admitting that he had made a mistake, but instead of correcting the mistake, he recognized Li Jue, who needed him and depended on him, as his younger brother. He wanted to live in that illusion.
Now he knew that the person was really dead—reality squeezed into his illusion, illuminating his ugliness and disgrace.
He must be spitting blood.
This was in line with the style of the comic.
After all, in “Broken Wings,” both the gong and shou were spitting various kinds of things in the later stages. Except for Qi Yi Liao, who had no official pairing, no love entanglements, and was relaxed all over.
Jiao Bai touched the vitamin C on the bedside table, and poured a piece into his mouth. Qi Zi Zhi’s profile picture was not framed in white, indicating that he was still alive, he would not commit suicide, because he would find out the cause of Qi Shuang’s death. That was his obsession.
There was also a self-description in Qi Zi Zhi’s [Dreams of Old Age].
-If life could be redone, I hope I wouldn’t be the eldest son…
There wasn’t Shen Ji’s list of one, two, three, four, five regrets, just that one sentence, ending with a thought-provoking ellipsis.
Eldest son, successor, means responsibility, being involuntary, without self.
At the end of Qi Zi Zhi’s self-description, his thoughts in the second before the end of his life were recorded.
——If life could be redone.
“Hiss”
Jiao Bai bit his tongue, he gasped, his face full of strangeness.
Why was it this sentence again?
The thoughts in the hearts of the two friends on the verge of death were actually the same.
“If life could be redone.”
Jiao Bai silently recited word by word, with a sense of palpitations that he had touched something.
Was it a coincidence?
Could it be that the third friend was also…
The frequency of Jiao Bai’s heartbeat suddenly changed erratically, calm down, wait until the third friend is unlocked before talking, calm down, calm down.
No matter what, before all the friends join the group, he didn’t have the energy to think about anything else.
The interface changed. Just like with Shen Ji last time, the original “Broken Wings” also appeared.
Supporting role Qi Zi Zhi: A sacrifice of a large family in the early style, he has been fighting for the family all his life, his career and family are the meaning of his life. Top 10 in the younger brother control.
Strategy guide: Let him gain the achievement of being an older brother from you.
Paranoid attribute: 70.
Shen Ji’s paranoid attribute was only 30, Qi Zi Zhi was more than twice as high as him.
The comic disappeared, revealing the World Room that had just been blocked.
At the very bottom of that World Room, there was also a lifelong conclusion.
——Living half a life for the family, looking back at the road I came from, a vast expanse.
“Bai Bai, that fellow villager of yours…”
Jiao Bai heard the movement at the door, quickly sorted out his expression and looked over, “What?”
Zhang Zhen stood in front of his bed, scratching his head, his eyebrows drooping down: “I saved his life.”
Jiao Bai knew, he was still thinking, Zhang Zhen was going to connect with Li Jue.
“His name is Li Jue, what did you feel when you saw him again?” Jiao Bai probed. Zhang Zhen was nice to him, he didn’t want the other party to be accidentally killed by the pit-digging tricks triggered by Li Jue’s protagonist halo.
“Angry.” Zhang Zhen sat on the bed, “You all stayed on the cargo ship for so many days, he wasn’t injured, you were half-dead…”
Zhang Zhen’s tone suddenly changed: “Qi Zi Zhi was on that ship?”
Jiao Bai lied without blushing or panting: “Not there, right.”
If he told the truth, Zhang Zhen might call a group of brothers and shoot at the ship. At that time, he was afraid that there would be more dog blood.
He was tired, let the dog blood be sprinkled on the shore again. Let him get ashore.
“Bai Bai,” Zhang Zhen suddenly called, and his peach blossom eyes, which were full of affection for a handful of soil, fixedly looked at him.
Jiao Bai was slightly uncomfortable: “Just say what you have to say.”
Zhang Zhen clenched his fist and coughed twice, his eyebrows drooping down: “Just last time, you were hospitalized and unconscious, I told you by the bed that I planned to continue investigating a matter, investigating from a different angle, I both hope it’s what I guessed, and I don’t hope it’s what I guessed, very contradictory.”
Jiao Bai had an impression, at that time, his soul state had also replied: Then investigate it first, maybe after the investigation, you will find that the idea is not the two choices you originally had, but a third type.
“I know everything.”
Jiao Bai heard Zhang Zhen say this, and saw him show a very indignant expression, and slowly narrated a past event.
It was sunk in the years, growing deep in Zhang Zhen’s memory, and was only dug out by him today.
It was verdant and lush, without any desolation.
Jiao Bai didn’t interrupt, and listened from beginning to end. The vitamin C in his mouth had melted, and Zhang Zhen’s story was over.
Because Jiao Bai had just suffered the impact of the original owner’s background, he now learned that the original owner and Zhang Zhen were childhood companions, so he felt okay, and didn’t want to complain.
It can only be said that “Broken Wings” is the king of dog blood. The original owner, as a tool person, has so much hidden dog blood.
Jiao Bai met Zhang Zhen’s expectant eyes, he was not the person involved, and the memory he carried about the original owner was not complete, missing the part of the orphanage, unable to mobilize emotions, he could only smile: “That’s really fate.”
“Yeah.” Zhang Zhen saw that Jiao Bai had not digested this relationship, he could understand, but…
Zhang Zhen grabbed Jiao Bai’s hands, and solemnly said: “Then do you still call me Little Brother?”
“No.” Jiao Bai pulled his hands out, “My teeth are sour.”
Zhang Zhen grabbed him again, without releasing a trace of the fierceness in him, stubbornly like a child: “Why are your teeth sour? You called me that in Di Ye and Lan Mo Fu.”
Rainbow turned into a wronged, mournful expression.
Jiao Bai rolled his eyes: “That was because I wanted to use you.”
Zhang Zhen frowned, looking like it was a big deal: “Then you continue to use me.”
“…” Jiao Bai was speechless, “It depends on the situation.”
“In the middle of the night, it’s not good for the heart to be too excited, you take it easy.” Jiao Bai had just finished speaking when Qi Yi Liao entered the room.
That person had already reached his bedtime.
Zhang Zhen was originally lying on the bed without any image, as if he was acting coquettishly with Jiao Bai, but now that Third Brother saw him, he couldn’t save face. Zhang Zhen immediately stood up: “Third Brother.”
Qi Yi Liao had taken a shower in the office before coming over. The water on his body was rarely wiped dry. Although his hair was not blow-dried, it was not dripping with water as usual.
“A Zhen, go to sleep.”
“Yes.” Zhang Zhen habitually took the order, and only after leaving the room did he come back to his senses, and hurriedly knocked on the door, “Third Brother, let me go in and carry Bai Bai to my place.”
Three words came from the room: “No need.”
“Then you go to bed early.” Zhang Zhen said, and then felt that something was strange, he suddenly realized one thing, wasn’t Third Brother a germaphobe?
Third Brother was actually going to share a bed with someone, this was too shocking.
Zhang Zhen’s mind was dizzy. Although he was looking forward to the arrival of Third Sister-in-law, this was also…
Third Brother should just be letting Jiao Bai read to him, and he would leave in a while.
Zhang Zhen thought about it to himself, and thought that was the case.
After all, everyone hadn’t had a good rest these few days, let alone Third Brother, who didn’t let anyone near.
At this time, Third Brother definitely didn’t have so many scruples, and just wanted to hear Jiao Bai read two sentences quickly.
Zhang Zhen figured it out, and left with light steps. He would make up for the New Year tomorrow, spending it on the ship.
He had to give Jiao Bai lucky money.
Mobile phone transfers lacked a sense of ceremony. He didn’t know if he could get red paper to make a wallet.
In the room, Qi Yi Liao turned off the big light, leaving only the bedside lamp: “Did you brush your teeth?”
Jiao Bai yawned: “Brushed.”
“But you ate something again.” Qi Yi Liao said.
“Just a vitamin C.” Jiao Bai defended.
Qi Yi Liao shook the long rod of the bedside lamp a few times, adjusting the position: “Go gargle.”
Jiao Bai didn’t want to: “It’s troublesome for me to get up once.” This old man didn’t have bad breath.
The atmosphere in front of the bed froze slightly.
Jiao Bai’s eyelids twitched, he recalled the two times he read to the old man.
The first time, he brushed his teeth, took a shower, and lay on the bed before being called up. The second time was in the front yard, far away, outdoors, with air circulation.
So, in the room, did reading a scripture require bathing and changing clothes?
The white cat’s eyelashes drooped down.
Jiao Bai thought that its master had compromised, but he didn’t expect the other party to take a basin from the bathroom and smile very gracefully: “Gargle.”
“…”
Jiao Bai nestled in the quilt, drank two mouthfuls of water, gargled and spit it into the basin, experiencing an old age life in advance.
Qi Yi Liao quickly lifted the quilt and lay on the bed. At first, Jiao Bai was still afraid that he would be awkward.
Now he found that he was thinking too much.
The distance between Director Qi and him… let’s put it this way, four more of him could lie down, lined up, at the degree of being able to flip over at will.
Jiao Bai was speechless. At such a distance, could the other party hear him when he read?
Qi Yi Liao took out a small gray box from his pajama pocket. Inside it was a pair of earphones, with many functions: “Xiao Bai.”
Jiao Bai turned his head: “Hmm?”
“Uncle is old, his hearing is average.” Qi Yi Liao tilted his handsome smiling face, “Later, I’ll have to trouble you to speak louder.”
Jiao Bai blurted out: “Then won’t you sit closer?”
“You want me to sit closer?” Qi Yi Liao said in distress, “If I go over, once you read it wrong, I will educate you nearby, and then I hope you…”
Jiao Bai quickly said: “Just sit there!”
Qi Yi Liao stopped adjusting the small buttons on both sides of the earphones, he looked over, and in the gray, dull eyes was Jiao Bai’s holding his breath.
“Xiao Bai, you’re too nervous.” Qi Yi Liao suddenly smiled, “Do some tongue-flicking exercises.”
Jiao Bai: “…” Bullshit!
Qi Yi Liao said embarrassedly: “If you are nervous, you will make many mistakes, then uncle will be unhappy.”
The implication was that if you made mistakes again and again, you would be beaten.
Jiao Bai had a sullen face, and reluctantly opened his mouth, his tongue lifted from the lower jaw to the upper jaw.
“The range is too small.” Qi Yi Liao put the earphones aside, “Come here.”
Jiao Bai was still immersed in the shitty flicking, flicking, flicking.
Should he not go to West City to deal with Qi family servants? Should he increase his level again?
With such a method of instruction, he was really afraid that one day he couldn’t help it, tear off two pages of the book, rub them, rub them, rub them into small thin strips, and insert green onions into Qi Yi Liao.
“What are you secretly enjoying?” Qi Yi Liao leaned against the head of the bed, and helplessly beckoned to him, “Come to uncle’s side.”
Jiao Bai ended his self-deprecating daydream, and moved towards Qi Yi Liao.
Qi Yi Liao pinched his cheeks, and gently lifted them under his eyelids, correcting his tongue-flicking strength and frequency: “Regularly exercising your tongue helps prevent cerebral atrophy and hardening of facial muscles.”
Jiao Bai glared at him. Thank you, the old man who is not yet twenty years old doesn’t want to know!
Late at night, the fog dispersed. The ocean-going ship slowly headed towards the West City Wharf.
Except for those on duty, everyone else was snoring.
Only the most luxurious room still had the sound of stumbling reading, the waves were listening.
“s…”
Jiao Bai yawned again and again, physiological tears had moistened his eyelashes and the corners of his eyes, he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and struggled to interpret the word: “seren…di…”
“serendipity.”
Suddenly, a low and clear voice sounded next to him, without any hoarseness, obviously not sleepy.
But it was almost three in the morning. Jiao Bai wiped his face, and glared at the wall clock, it was three in the morning, even if he was young, he couldn’t stand it, he would go bald.
A finger touched the page of the book that Jiao Bai had placed on his leg, falling on the word that he hadn’t read well just now, tapping a few times: “Read it to me.”
Jiao Bai didn’t remember it much, he tried to read it once.
Qi Yi Liao’s brows furrowed, but his voice became more and more amiable: “I’ll give you one more chance.”
The hairs on Jiao Bai’s back stood up, he held the book close, and used all his strength to recall Qi Yi Liao’s pronunciation, and finally read it out.
Qi Yi Liao closed his eyes, he slightly raised the back of his neck, his head touching the ship’s wall behind the bed, the halo of the bedside lamp hit his Adam’s apple that vibrated as he spoke, that scene had the sexiness of a mature man.
“If you doze off again, don’t read on the bed, go to the deck, blow the wind to wake up your brain.”
Jiao Bai complained in his heart, what time is it, can’t people sleep?
“Sleepy? You slept all day during the day.”
A mocking voice sounded in his ear. Jiao Bai was unable to refute.
It was almost five in the morning, Jiao Bai was reading so energetically that he was high, he wanted to go to the bathroom, and asked Qi Yi Liao to give him a hand.
Qi Yi Liao’s voice at this time had a bit more laziness, he was about to fall asleep, he told Jiao Bai to go by himself.
Jiao Bai couldn’t, the wound on his stomach hurt: “Then let me use your phone, I’ll call Zhang Zhen.”
Qi Yi Liao turned over, his eyes closed, the shadow cast down by his dense black eyelashes showed impatience: “You kid, why are you so troublesome.”
After saying that, he sat up, and pressed his forehead: “Is it to be carried, or?”
“No no no, I can walk.” Jiao Bai was moving towards the edge of the bed, and quickly expressed his attitude when he heard the words.
Qi Yi Liao laughed at this time, the dark, floating aura in his bones was gone again, receding like a tide, he got out of bed, and stretched out his hand: “Hold on.”
Jiao Bai was like an old emperor, supported by Qi Yi Liao to the bathroom.
Then,
Qi Yi Liao went out.
Jiao Bai raised his eyebrows in surprise, shouldn’t the old pervert stay and secretly stare?
Why did Qi Yi Liao leave so quickly, it seemed that he was not interested in other people’s parts, he even seemed to have a bit of repulsion.
This was a good opportunity.
He could see what kind of repulsion the old pervert would have.
So Jiao Bai “Ayyo”ed: “Uncle Qi, don’t go yet, I need you to support me from behind!”
It wouldn’t work to act well if he didn’t hone his skills.
For example, student Jiao, his performance was very unstable, at this time his acting skills were just one word, fake. Seeing Qi Yi Liao stop, he continued to perform, wholeheartedly.
Qi Yi Liao stood at the door of the bathroom with his back for a moment, he turned around, with a smile on his face: “Okay.”
When Jiao Bai saw the old man smiling so much that the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were piling up, very elegant and Confucian, he regretted it again.
Jiao Bai was worried about something weird happening, but fortunately nothing happened, and he successfully relieved himself.
Qi Yi Liao didn’t directly look at the young man, but glanced through the mirror and closed his eyes, giving an objective evaluation: “Very energetic.”
Jiao Bai: “…”
Shen Ji said that I was a little bean sprout, but you used “energetic” to describe me.
Did you reveal something???
Jiao Bai had a dream within a dream because of that urination. He dreamed that he was peeing in the public toilet during university class breaks, and suddenly a voice popped up next to him “Very energetic”, and when he turned his head, it was Qi Yi Liao’s smiling face.
It was a magical sound.
Jiao Bai didn’t get up until the afternoon, and Qi Yi Liao, who slept with him at about the same time… was said to have caught half a bucket of fish.
Jiao Bai didn’t go out to watch, he asked Zhang Zhen for his phone, found Yu Ling’s contact information and called.
Yu Ling was on a mission, and the background was noisy, with screams and angry shouts. He couldn’t care about saying much, and told Jiao Bai his brother’s contact information abroad.
Yu Xiang was already awake, he hadn’t returned to China yet, and burst into tears when he received Jiao Bai’s call.
Jiao Bai’s ears were about to explode, he had a whim, wondering what kind of earth-shattering scene it would be when Yu Xiang met Li Jue.
“Er Duo, don’t worry about my business, you stay abroad, don’t come to West City to find me.” Jiao Bai said.
Yu Xiang on the other end of the phone stopped whimpering, and asked neurotically: “Why?”
Jiao Bai sighed: “There’s only half a year left in high school, I want to study hard, if you come, can I still calm down?”
Yu Xiang gnawed on his lip. Did that mean he could affect Gua Gua, Gua Gua cared about him?
Yu Xiang said with a grin: “Okay, then when will I go to find you, I’ll listen to you.”
Jiao Bai picked up the watermelon seed shells he spit out with a tissue, and threw out the prepared words: “After I finish the college entrance examination, you come to West City, and I’ll pick you up.” At that time, if there are no accidents, I will deal with your brother.
Yu Xiang happily responded heavily: “Mmm mmm mmm!”
