GBT Chapter 99

Shen Er’an hung up.

Yes, without saying anything, he just hung up.

Jiao Bai: “…”

He “whooshed” and stood up from the wheelchair, the blanket on his legs and the flower seeds that hadn’t finished sowing all fell to the ground.

The protagonist gong in the original story had this kind of personality, never saying anything he was thinking, storing it all in his heart. When it was full, he would create space by abusing the protagonist shou.

It’s already changed a little now, so it’s not bad.

Don’t be angry.

I’m not angry.

I’m not fucking angry!!!!

A surge of anger rushed up from the soles of Jiao Bai’s feet, passing through his limbs and bones, surging into his heart. He cursed and slapped the armrest of the wheelchair again. If it were just a simple paper person, he wouldn’t care what happened to them. It’s none of his business.

My mentality shouldn’t have changed. Why would a miserable working person get involved in this comic world? Why? Why? Tapping on the abacus to do tasks, and leaving after finishing, everything based on utility, why care about anything else? Following my fucking heart, oh.

Looking for suffering, it’s simply masochistic!!!

“Damn it.” Jiao Bai’s cheekbones flushed red with anger. He took a few deep breaths, okay, the venting is over, the negative emotions are mostly cleared, calm down.

Can’t knock everything down just because of a few pieces of shit, there are still things that are worthwhile.

Some people have given equal or even double or triple the return for his efforts, and he has also changed the trajectory of their lives.

Both those in the list and those outside of it.

And some, although there have been stubborn phenomena, like gallstones, difficult to melt and change, but he still wants to try. Because he’s not willing to let all his work be for nothing.

Maybe the situation isn’t as bad as he imagined.

“Young Master Bai, Chairman Qi came back from work early, you…”

Qi Er’s voice sounded from behind. Jiao Bai sat back in the wheelchair. He hooked the blanket up with his foot, patted the dust and soil off of it: “I’m fine, where is he? Push me over.”

That evening, something rare that had never happened before occurred at Lanmo Manor – Young Master Bai was going to wait for Chairman Qi at the door.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what they were waiting for, take a photo to commemorate it!

But they didn’t know that the romance was what they thought, in reality, Young Master Bai was waiting for Chairman Qi in order to coax him into helping him with something.

Jiao Bai told Qi Yi Liao that he was going to South City.

Not that he wanted to, but that he *was*.

He had already made a decision and was just informing him, not discussing or asking for his opinion.

Jiao Bai only dared to show this kind of willful attitude towards his own family to Qi Yi Liao alone. He sent Zhang Zhen away because his condition was unstable, afraid of stimulating him.

The wind was very gentle. Jiao Bai waited and waited, but didn’t get a response from Qi Yi Liao, so he raised his head.

Qi Yi Liao was standing with his back to the fiery sunset clouds, his black hair slicked back, revealing deep and mature brow bones. He was wearing a suit and tie, looking meticulous, as if he had just come from a meeting, exuding a dignified gentlemanly elegance.

“Last September, when you were reporting to university, you also said you were going home to handle some business, and A Zhen didn’t understand or approve,” Qi Yi Liao looked down at the young man in the wheelchair, “I told him that you are an adult, able to be responsible for your own actions, and that you must have your reasons for going.”

Jiao Bai smiled, revealing his tiger teeth: “Then this time…”

“No.” Qi Yi Liao rarely showed him a cold expression.

The corners of Jiao Bai’s mouth drooped.

The group of Qi family bodyguards hiding behind the bushes saw that the situation was not good and were more anxious than the emperor.

A cold and impatient gaze swept over, and they all retreated.

Qi Yi Liao’s good mood plummeted. He took out a cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette, but didn’t light it, just held it in his lips, his teeth grinding the end of the cigarette.

At last year’s annual meeting, the company was waiting for his family member. He considered that the young man’s body was not doing well, so he didn’t bring him.

Today, he left work early, and his secretary said unintentionally that the company group was very lively. He used A Zhen’s account to enter the group and take a look on the way home.

It was indeed lively, everyone was discussing whether the chairman was rushing to leave work to go on a date.

He originally wanted to take him out to dinner tonight…

Qi Yi Liao squatted down, picked up a flower seed next to his leather shoe, and placed it in the young man’s palm. He knelt on one knee, looking up at him, “You are an adult, and your mind is stronger than most people’s. You can bear the consequences of any choice you make, but the people around you can’t bear it, understand what Uncle is saying?”

Jiao Bai held the flower seed, and was silent for a long time: “I’m not going to South City.”

Qi Yi Liao looked up at him, relieved and focused: “Good.”

“Third Brother, can you help me contact Shen Er’an? He hung up on me, I can’t get in touch with him.” Jiao Bai took the cigarette from Qi Yi Liao’s lips and played with it, saying, “You tell him for me to bring the person to me.”

“He knows who I’m referring to.” Jiao Bai leaned back into the wheelchair.

“Your neighbor?” Qi Yi Liao frowned.

Jiao Bai quickly covered his pale lips: “Keep it down, don’t let my brother hear!”

Scattered laughter spilled from between his fingers.

Jiao Bai didn’t remove his hand, he glared at Qi Yi Liao, lowering his voice: “That’s right, it’s Li Jue.”

“I don’t want to investigate the past, Third Brother, don’t worry about it either, okay.” Jiao Bai faced Qi Yi Liao with a forceful yet weak tone for the first time, even a little dejected.

Old pervert, your trusted confidant Zhang Zhen has saved Li Jue once, only you have no involvement with Li Jue. Among the many supporting characters with fans in the whole comic, you are the exception. You are not affected by Li Jue’s protagonist halo, nor do you compete for power with the other protagonist Shen Er’an, but instead retreat and give way. You must maintain this, don’t change.

Most importantly, live longer.

Jiao Bai met Qi Yi Liao’s gaze. Others could take revenge, but the protagonist shou Li Jue really couldn’t. Neither could the protagonist gong Shen Er’an.

No matter who wants to deal with them, either the opponent dies, or the people around them die.

They are all immortal.

Even suicide is impossible, otherwise Li Jue wouldn’t do stupid things multiple times in repeated emotions, always being stopped, each time stirring up a wave of dog blood.

Jiao Bai’s voice was very soft, telling Qi Yi Liao, and also telling himself: “Really, don’t worry about it, let it go.”

Qi Yi Liao saw himself a dozen years older in the young man’s dark and bright eyes. He was old, he coughed a few times: “Okay, I won’t worry about it.”

“Don’t let my brother know about Li Jue’s news.” Jiao Bai bit the cigarette, his teeth sinking into the tooth marks left by Qi Yi Liao.

Qi Yi Liao’s breath deepened, and the muscles in his legs under his suit pants tightened instantly.

Restraint.

Qi Yi Liao turned to get the shovel, dug a pit, and planted all the scattered flower seeds on the ground.

After finishing everything and turning around, the young man was still wetly kissing that cigarette.

Qi Yi Liao threw the shovel on the ground, his scalp tingling.

Jiao Bai had been silently looking at the sky for a while, and the heat on his ears had also subsided a lot. He had subconsciously bitten the cigarette earlier, and since he had already bitten it, he definitely wouldn’t spit it out. He had to smoke this cigarette.

So he moved closer, bit the cigarette and moved it twice: “Third Brother, I don’t have a lighter, help me light it.”

Qi Yi Liao said in a hoarse voice: “How many times have you smoked my cigarettes?”

“Why remember that.” Jiao Bai’s voice was blurry, “Anyway, I’ve never smoked anyone else’s.”

After the words fell, Jiao Bai put his hand on his forehead, covering his eyes.

The soft flesh on his chin was rubbed.

There was a metallic sound in his ear.

Then there was the smell of tobacco burning.

A cluster of sparks brought a cloud of smoke, a circular barrier, covering the two people, isolating them from this true and false world.

Jiao Bai still had his hands covering his eyes, he smoked in the barrier: “Third Brother, don’t forget the things you promised me.”

“I won’t forget.” Qi Yi Liao unbuttoned his suit, took it off, and exhaled.

Restraint, restraint,

Qi Yi Liao raised an arm, his hot palm covering the back of the young man’s hand covering his eyes.

His lips brushed against the strands of hair lightly swept by the wind, his nose touched it, rubbing against it.

Qi Yi Liao suddenly turned his head, his eyes fierce.

In the blind spot of the surveillance, Aunt Liu shrank there, her body chilling. She was clutching her phone, having just taken a photo and sent it to someone.

The screen quickly went dark, and the sending record was also deleted.

Things were not as simple as Jiao Bai thought. That night, Qi Yi Liao called Shen Er’an and relayed Jiao Bai’s meaning, but Shen Er’an did not admit that the person was with him.

Qi Yi Liao used his resources to investigate all of Shen Er’an’s residences, and also had people follow him.

Jiao Bai wanted to see Li Jue as soon as possible, he couldn’t wait any longer.

“Third Brother, I should personally go to South City, I’ll take a plane, a quick trip.” Jiao Bai frowned, pulling the Buddha card around his neck through his clothes. Shen Er’an didn’t admit it, didn’t dare to admit it, so only he, the one who initially heard the promise, could go.

The air in the study suddenly froze.

Qi Yi Liao’s typing on the keyboard didn’t stop, he didn’t seem to have any abnormalities, he even picked up his coffee and took a sip during the office work.

The blood cat opened its bloody mouth, baring its teeth, its whiskers were perked up.

But it was trembling with anger, its golden eyes staring straight over.

Angry as he was, he was still expecting something.

“…” Jiao Bai took out his phone to check flights, “The latest flight is still in time, come with me.”

The sound of clicking stopped.

“Come with you, okay.” Qi Yi Liao leaned back in his wide chair, rubbed his eyebrows, gentle and elegant, “Uncle is in a bad mood, let Uncle bite you.”

Jiao Bai was speechless. What a pervert, still negotiating conditions! It’s not that you want to accompany me, I’m giving you a ladder to come to me???!

Qi Yi Liao sighed: “Can’t?”

Jiao Bai turned his head to the back and rolled his eyes, he turned back, smiling: “Okay.”

“But, Uncle,” Jiao Bai called Qi Yi Liao like this for the first time, deliberately dragging out the tone, “It’s not a good habit to bite people when you’re in a bad mood, right.”

“The habit is not good,” Qi Yi Liao put away his laptop, “But I don’t bite just because I’m in a bad mood, I’ve only bitten once.”

Jiao Bai didn’t speak anymore.

When they set off, there was a bite mark on the back of Jiao Bai’s neck, the surrounding skin was red, sucked out.

If this were ABO, then he would be temporarily marked, tsk.

He didn’t know how long Qi Yi Liao could endure gnawing on the word “restraint”, he was almost done, seeing who would get out of the cage first.

And then?

He didn’t know, he would take things one step at a time.

Jiao Bai lay down as soon as he got on the plane, sleeping all the way until the plane landed.

Zhang Zhen didn’t follow, he was sent to another place. Jiao Bai trusted Qi Yi Liao, since he could let Zhang Zhen leave, then he must have arranged a proper excuse.

This trip was very simple, to prevent too much commotion, Qi Yi Liao didn’t bring any bodyguards, he wore casual clothes, with a mask and a baseball cap.

Handsome guys have both face and figure, even if the face is blocked, they are still shining brightly.

Especially when their experience and status have reached a certain level, the steady and sexy charm is emitted from their gestures.

Jiao Bai sat in the wheelchair, the small key on the keychain was shaken by him, turning around and around, he was watching Qi Yi Liao reject the fourth beauty who was hitting on him.

That beauty was a foreigner, speaking a language that Jiao Bai didn’t understand.

Qi Yi Liao didn’t know what to say to her, she surprisedly covered her mouth, her pair of electrifying green eyes looking straight at Jiao Bai.

Jiao Bai’s face turned cold, and he shouted loudly: “Are we leaving or not?”

Qi Yi Liao looked at the young man, saying something between the opening and closing of his lips. The beauty responded ambiguously, and even clenched her fist at him, making a “go for it” gesture.

Jiao Bai guessed some of the content of the exchange between Qi Yi Liao and the beauty, his expression changed, his gaze flew around, and he stopped shaking the small key.

Qi Yi Liao came over, pushing him through the crowd, towards the elevator.

They were like two ordinary passengers, just getting off the plane, and they would be able to go home later, take a shower and go to bed early.

Jiao Bai yawned, his body suddenly stopped, he remembered that Qi Yi Liao had a fear of heights, and it was very serious. But after he got on the plane, he didn’t have time to worry about Qi Yi Liao.

Qi Yi Liao strode forward, the person in the wheelchair looked back at him, looking once and again, his eyes guilty, his expression awkward, he lowered his head and raised his eyebrows: “What, did you do something wrong?”

Jiao Bai: “…”

“Why don’t we go to KFC or somewhere to eat something and rest for a while?” He calmly suggested.

Not long after, Qi Yi Liao sat in KFC, a place he had never set foot in his life.

Jiao Bai scanned the QR code with his mobile phone to order the food the whole time, he just pretended that he didn’t see Qi Yi Liao’s discomfort.

Qi Yi Liao didn’t touch the food much, he wore headphones, occasionally glanced at the young man across from him who was drinking milk tea and gnawing on chicken wings. There was incomprehension in his eyes, like an elder who couldn’t keep up with the times, not understanding what was so delicious about that.

Jiao Bai didn’t pay attention to Qi Yi Liao’s gaze, he was absentmindedly thinking about things. Originally, he guessed that Shen Er’an’s activity level breaking 50 was related to Liang Dong, but now he changed his mind.

This trip might be able to send Shen Er’an over the 50 mark.

Jiao Bai spat out the chicken bones, sighing. He thought he would never step into South City again in his life.

Well, here he was.

A flag is just something to be pulled out.

Before ten thirty, a car came to pick up Jiao Bai and Qi Yi Liao.

It was Karen, he was drinking his childhood friend’s wedding wine in South City, and this was a temporary gig.

“Little brother, you were floating in hell last year, I was the one who saved you, and you haven’t said thank you to me.” Karen’s little mustache had grown back, he leaned against the car door with his arms folded, looking a little noble.

Jiao Bai followed suit: “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Karen scratched his permed black curly hair, “I also got the corresponding reward.”

Jiao Bai’s eyelids twitched, he whispered when Qi Yi Liao picked him up: “What did Karen ask for?”

Qi Yi Liao hugged him into the back seat: “It’s nothing.”

Jiao Bai didn’t believe a single word. The sound of closing the car door came from the driver’s seat, accompanied by Karen’s lazy voice: “Indeed, it’s nothing, just an entire wine cellar.”

“Although the four bottles I wanted the most are already here, the others are also okay, just barely acceptable,” he added.

Jiao Bai’s ears were buzzing.

Qi Yi Liao next to him called him: “Bai, come here.”

Jiao Bai was wooden, his mind was full of “an entire wine cellar”, the whole thing.

Qi Yi Liao glanced at Karen in the rearview mirror and said softly, “Drive.”

Karen shrugged and started the car.

“Fuck!”

A curse burst out in the car, Jiao Bai jumped up, Qi Yi Liao rescued him in time, preventing him from hitting the roof of the car.

An entire wine cellar! Jiao Bai was dizzy, his whole body was trembling.

Qi Yi Liao looped one arm around his waist, and swiped his mobile phone with the other: “There’s news, Bai.”

Jiao Bai immediately stopped trembling, he turned his head over, and what came into view was a set of photos.

The photos were of the exterior of a villa, taken from different angles, and the surrounding terrain and environment were also included.

Jiao Bai recognized the villa at a glance.

That was the residence where Shen Er’an and Li Jue lived together for the tenth year.

Why did he remember it so clearly? Because “ten years” is a relatively story-telling number.

Ten years had passed, and they were still tormenting each other.

Qi Yi Liao finished flipping through the photos one by one and opened the received intelligence.

[Shen Er’an doesn’t live here, he comes once a week, each time bringing one to two team members.]

[He stays for about an hour.]

[Tonight, at seven o’clock, Shen Er’an drove over alone, and he hasn’t left yet.]

Qi Yi Liao’s phone gave another notification, the latest photos had arrived.

They were all sneak shots, basically very blurry.

Jiao Bai saw a photo, he grabbed the wrist of Qi Yi Liao’s hand flipping through the photos, his breathing quickening a bit: “Wait.”

The photo on the screen was paused by Jiao Bai, and a blurry figure of a person covered in blood could be vaguely identified.

That was Li Jue.

A thin and small figure, that kind of soft and pitiful feeling overflowed from the photo. It couldn’t be wrong, it was him!

Jiao Bai’s head hurt a lot, Li Jue was really with Shen Er’an.

It was possible that after Jiao Bai was tricked last year, Li Jue took the opportunity to escape. The year at “Di Ye” was also very scary for him. If he could escape, he would escape, maybe he could encounter an opportunity to turn bad luck into good fortune. His thoughts were always naive and beautiful. That was his attribute.

The later development was that Shen Er’an’s people caught the runaway Li Jue before the Qi family, brought him to South City, and tortured him to this day.

This was just Jiao Bai’s guess, not yet confirmed.

But one thing he was certain of, Li Jue’s obsession with Shen Er’an was love, and Shen Er’an’s obsession with Li Jue was hate.

Obsession 100+ versus obsession 100+.

Jiao Bai was in a daze. The photos on the screen were swiped past by a slender index finger. After a few consecutive blurred ones, a clear photo suddenly appeared.

It was so clear that in the dungeon-like room, Shen Er’an was sitting on a chair, his eyes lowered, seriously and quietly folding colored paper. Half a dragonfly danced at his fingertips.

And Li Jue’s locked hands and feet were rotten, and there were excrement under him.

Jiao Bai felt suffocated.

In the small black room back then, he didn’t quite know how much he had suffered, his thoughts were chaotic. Now he had become God, the perspective had become that of an observer, very uncomfortable. His vision began to distort, and the Li Jue in his eyes became himself.

Stomach acid suddenly surged up, Jiao Bai couldn’t help it, and vomited disgustingly.

Qi Yi Liao turned off the phone, pinched his pale, twitching face, turned it over, and gently pressed it into his arms: “That’s not you. It’s in the past.”
