GBT Chapter 73

Jiao Bai was completely dumbfounded.

Keychain? For hanging keys, keys, to open cages, cages…

Damn it, awesome.

Qi Yi Liao knew the phone was on speaker, so he instructed Zhang Zhen first, then it was his turn. And to suggest something like that, was he crazy?

This old pervert, not only dragged him into the water last night, but also tied a rock to him today, not letting him ashore.

Jiao Bai’s legs stopped shaking, but his mind was racing with fantasies.

Actually, he wasn’t really imagining anything specific, just Qi Yi Liao wearing a white shirt kneeling at his feet, picking up the metal cage, and begging him to unlock it.

A surprised voice came from the front.

“Bai Bai, you’re having a nosebleed!” Zhang Zhen kept looking in the rearview mirror.

“It’s nothing, I’m just overheated, dry,” Jiao Bai said, covering his nose with one hand and calmly reaching for a tissue with the other. “Drive your car and watch the road.”

Suddenly, a low and magnetic voice came from beside him, full of concern: “Why the nosebleed?”

The phone was still connected.

Jiao Bai hung up with a wooden face. Old pervert, you want me to bring the keychain to the company to see you, it better not be the key to the cage, or I’m overthinking it.

Otherwise…

More liquid flowed from Jiao Bai’s nose, otherwise you damn well have to let me unlock it for you! And you have to wear a white shirt!

“Sigh.”

Jiao Bai, having stopped the bleeding, leaned back in his seat and sighed.

Zhang Zhen was already worried about his younger brother’s nosebleed, and now hearing him sigh, he was even more worried, and couldn’t help but glance in the rearview mirror once or twice: “Is the pressure from studying too much?”

“Didn’t I tell you to drive properly?” Jiao Bai glared.

Zhang Zhen was aggrieved: “Brother is also worried about you.”

Jiao Bai felt guilty for a second or two: “There is pressure, but it’s still within my tolerance.”

“Why don’t you change your choice of major? The admission score for medical university isn’t friendly to you.” Zhang Zhen hadn’t been to school much, his life experience couldn’t teach his younger brother, so recently he had inquired about the information of all the universities in West City, racking his brains to study them, and also asked a female friend who had been working in education for many years.

“Medical university is hard to get into, and the academics are strict. Once you get in, you have to keep studying, for many years. Now most hospitals basically want graduates with doctorates, and few with master’s degrees. I’m afraid that after you study hard and come out, your hair will be gone.”

Jiao Bai: “…”

“Brother, studying medicine is my dream,” he yawned.

Zhang Zhen paused, then said seriously: “Then alright, you keep studying, and if your hair falls out, I’ll take you to get a hair transplant. If you can’t find a job, I’ll find you connections.”

Jiao Bai’s mouth twitched. Don’t, doctor, how dare you rely on connections to get into a hospital, wouldn’t that be harming people?

“Don’t worry about things so far in the future, there’s always a way forward, and things will eventually work out. Besides, I’m full of fighting spirit for my future.” Jiao Bai looked in the rearview mirror and smiled at Zhang Zhen, “Believe in me a little, brother.”

Zhang Zhen’s old face turned red, his third brother also told him to believe in Bai Bai.

He knew he should do that, but he was still worried about this and that.

God guided him and allowed him to recover his lost childhood memories.

His younger brother also stood beside that memory.

This was too precious to Zhang Zhen, he couldn’t control wanting to offer everything he had saved over the years to his younger brother, and do his best to heal the wounds cut by the ruthless years.

If there was something his younger brother needed that he didn’t have, then he would find a way to get it.

The car finished running the mountain road and stopped by the road sign. Zhang Zhen looked back: “Then tell me, why were you sighing?”

Jiao Bai was silent.

How could he say it? Could he possibly say that he imagined treating the Moon Cage like he treated his former Moon Boyfriend, and now he couldn’t wait to take photos and develop them, and put them on his desk, looking at them three times a day?

“I sighed because I felt that,” Jiao Bai fabricated, “Third Brother always looks very tired, like he’s overdrawing his life. Power, that thing, sucks people’s blood.”

Zhang Zhen was at a loss for words. Third Brother’s fatigue was more spiritual, psychological, but how could he explain this to Bai Bai?

“Sometimes, it’s not that you want to seize power, it’s that power is pushing you forward,” Zhang Zhen said vaguely.

Jiao Bai looked like he understood a little but not quite: “Third Brother was forced to take the position?”

Zhang Zhen’s eyelids twitched, this topic was sensitive, so he decided not to continue, he coughed: “It’s very complicated, let’s not talk about it for now, I’ll take you to school.”

Jiao Bai didn’t break the casserole and ask to the end.

The road Qi Yi Liao took to get to the top must be the most difficult in his circle.

Why?

The pile of memorial tablets in the backyard graveyard were proof of that.

No one could compete with him.

But he was short-lived.

Jiao Bai lowered his head and picked at his fingernails, the bloodstain he got when wiping the jade turned into a blood clot, he picked at it until his fingertips were full of the smell of blood, and disgustedly wiped it off with a wet wipe.

Maybe if the cat’s thin wire fell off, Qi Yi Liao could live?

If his activity increased, it would be easy to say.

But damn it, he had been in West City for almost half a year, going to Lan Mo Mansion every week, finishing reading several English handwritten books, and reciting more than a dozen or twenty pages of scriptures, getting so many teeth marks on the ruler from being punished, but Qi Yi Liao’s activity was still increasing extremely slowly.

“By the way, Bai Bai, why did Third Brother ask you to bring a keychain?” Zhang Zhen started the car, he spoke up again, looking puzzled.

Jiao Bai came back to his senses, he lied without batting an eye: “Maybe it’s new content in the training class.”

Zhang Zhen didn’t understand: “What?”

Jiao Bai clicked his tongue, Zhang Zhen was singing children’s songs on the edge of a knife, both brave and pure.

“Keychain is a misreading, it’s for punishment,” Jiao Bai very shamelessly slandered Qi Yi Liao, “Hold it in your mouth, or when copying as punishment, if your waist collapses, put it in the small dent, and don’t let it fall off.”

He didn’t say swallow it, saying that would be too much, too fake. Like this it was just right, able to shock Zhang Zhen, and also make him believe it.

Zhang Zhen’s face was a mixture of black and red. Didn’t Third Brother only use a ruler? How did he change it?

Changing it was also… normal.

Third Brother’s state was very bad at the end of last year, at Xi Garden, he found a few people for Third Brother, that was the last time. After that, Third Brother found Bai Bai and had been using him ever since.

Several months had passed this year, Bai Bai broke Jiang Yan’s record, and the brothers were all betting on whether he could survive the summer. Third Brother must be tired of him, but he just couldn’t find a more satisfactory replacement, so he kept him, and played tricks during class breaks.

No way.

No way, no way. Zhang Zhen tightened his grip on the steering wheel, he had to find a candidate for Third Brother, and let his Bai Bai resign from that job.

Zhang Zhen glanced in the rearview mirror, when Bai Bai mentioned the keychain, he didn’t seem flustered at all, he even seemed a little, expectant?

An idea popped up from the bottom of Zhang Zhen’s heart, without warning, earth-shattering, his hand on the steering wheel even froze for a moment: “Bai Bai, are you…”

Jiao Bai looked at him through the rearview mirror, his eyes questioning.

Zhang Zhen curved his lips: “It’s nothing, I just wanted to ask if you have a mock exam this week.”

“Yeah,” Jiao Bai was sleepy.

Zhang Zhen raised the window on his side, leaving only a small gap: “Then study hard.”

The car became quiet.

Zhang Zhen looked ahead, his handsome brows furrowed. He was overthinking it, right? Although Bai Bai liked the same sex, and was in the age of ignorant impulses, full of youthful vigor, and could get excited with the slightest thing, he didn’t blush or avoid eye contact when facing Third Brother.

Third Brother had been using him for so long, but only on the matter of reading. There definitely couldn’t be anything else mixed in.

Somehow, even thinking this, Zhang Zhen still felt that something was very subtle. It was like… there was something they weren’t sharing with him, just their secret.

Zhang Zhen held it in all the way, and when he was almost at One Middle School, he woke up the younger brother in the back seat while waiting for the traffic light: “Bai Bai, do you want to be in a relationship?”

Jiao Bai, who was still half-asleep, immediately woke up: “What relationship? I’m taking the college entrance exam.”

“I mean in the future,” Zhang Zhen asked casually, “What is your ideal partner like?” He tried to cover it up, “Don’t be nervous, I just thought of this and asked you.”

Jiao Bai was too lazy to speculate what social news Zhang Zhen had seen, or was touched by the early love of a relative’s child, worrying about his emotional problems, he said leisurely: “I haven’t thought about it in detail, a little older than me, maybe.”

Zhang Zhen’s throat tightened: “Older means?”

Jiao Bai put the schoolbag next to him on his lap: “Within five years.” Probably.

Zhang Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Third Brother was more than a round older than Bai Bai.

“Have you ever tried girls?” Zhang Zhen paid attention to the road conditions and headed to One Middle School with the guidance of the navigation.

Jiao Bai clicked his tongue, tried what? He was a weakling in reality, a weakling for both men and women. He ambiguously asked back: “Brother, what about you?”

Zhang Zhen was silent.

The rainbows on the avatar shyly gathered together.

In short – a virgin’s shyness.

Jiao Bai held his forehead, he finally recognized this older brother, and he could even experience the fear of being critically hit by relatives, it was really amazing.

In the morning, Jiao Bai borrowed a power bank from a classmate to charge his phone. As soon as he turned it on, he messaged Shen Er An.

-Go to the class group and find my former female tablemate and have her add me.

There was no movement in the chat box.

Jiao Bai withdrew that message and replaced it with another.

-Does Three Middle School have a mock exam today?

This time there was movement.

Shen Young Master replied with one word: Yes.

Jiao Bai ate the hamburger candy given to him from the back seat, facing the classroom door with his body, secretly chatting with Shen Er An.

Gao Gua: Then how did you do on the exam?

Shen: I’ll send it to you as soon as the scores for each subject come out.

Gao Gua: Okay, I’ll wait. Now can you help me contact my female tablemate from last year and have her add me?

Shen: Spend some more time with me.

Gao Gua: “…”

Jiao Bai knew that Shen Er An was more lonely than before, his close friend Liang Dong was in the bureau, and his friend who he made later was in West City. Shen Er An was at the peak of his beautiful, strong, and tragic period.

Before Jiao Bai could reply, Shen Er An launched an information bombardment on him.

Shen: You said you wanted to prepare for the exam.

Shen: There’s not much time left in the first half of this year. If you don’t look for me, I won’t bother you.

Shen: But the number of times you’ve looked for me in the past few months hasn’t exceeded five.

Shen: No videos, no phone calls, only messages.

Shen: One of them was a group message.

Chatting online, Shen Young Master didn’t stutter, and his typing speed was fast, with a message coming every once in a while.

Jiao Bai was only focused on reading.

When he saw the words “group message”, he was angry, surpassing the rather resentful Shen Young Master.

Gao Gua: When did I send you a group message?

Shen: Qingming Festival.

Then he screenshotted that message and sent it over.

Jiao Bai typed a few words, deleted them, then typed again, deleted again.

Shen: You wrote the blessing yourself, but you sent it to many people.

This time Jiao Bai didn’t even type any words.

The main character was indeed the main character, even though they were hundreds of kilometers apart, he seemed to have a clairvoyant eye.

That blessing, Jiao Bai did send to everyone on his phone, he specifically thought of a generic one.

It was clearly a very normal phenomenon, but when it came to Shen Er An, it was as if he had been bullied.

Gao Gua: So you want to settle the score with me?

Shen: No.

Gao Gua: You brought it up even though you didn’t want to?

Shen: I just want you to look for me more often.

Shen: I know you’re busy with your studies, and this time you’re looking for me for other people and things. Can we chat for two minutes?

Gao Gua: Okay, two minutes.

So Jiao Bai chatted with Shen Er An for two minutes, and received a friend request reminder from his female tablemate, he quickly added her.

Jiao Bai added his female tablemate for Shen Er An as well. It’s just that he couldn’t say this.

Because Jiao Bai wanted to know about Li Jue’s situation in Three Middle School. He couldn’t let Shen Er An inquire about it.

Wouldn’t that be telling Shen Er An to pay attention to Li Jue? If Li Jue sensed that, the firecrackers on his marriage certificate would explode for three days and three nights.

Jiao Bai chatted with his female tablemate.

His female tablemate was also working hard, saying that she and her bestie wanted to go to the same university, and the two of them had agreed.

When talking about her bestie, they naturally talked about Li Jue. The two of them were good friends.

His female tablemate told Jiao Bai that she and her bestie saw Li Jue when they were shopping once, and even wanted to go up and say hello, but they didn’t expect a man to chase after him and put a hat on him.

That scene was so romantic.

They asked Li Jue the next day, and Li Jue said that he was a relative.

Female tablemate: Bai Bai, Li Jue has been absentminded recently, and doesn’t listen attentively in class, he’s been scolded by the teacher several times. My bestie helps him tutor, afraid that he won’t pass the exam, hmph.

Jiao Bai was speechless, this was so bloody, so ridiculous.

Li Jue’s protagonist halo was reflected in the emotional field, he could determine Shen Er An’s crush through Shen Er An’s gaze at the girl.

He was close to the object of his crush’s crush, out of love for his house and crows, and also wanting to borrow strength to have more contact with the object of his crush.

As for being absentminded,

If Li Jue and Shen Er An met in the hospital last year, it was the official start of their relationship line.

Then soon after, would be the climax of the relationship line.

A turning point, the fate of the scum gong and cheap shou would be tightened. The two protagonists’ personalities would also be born at that moment.

Jiao Bai asked the little assistant in the noisy sound of the class break: “Can I interfere with the nodes of the main story?”

[Major nodes are not allowed.]

Jiao Bai looked shocked. What was about to come was the first node of the main story, and also the biggest node in the entire comic.

“Then how about I hint?” Jiao Bai didn’t give up.

[It depends on the degree. Once the player crosses the boundary, it’s a violation, and they will be whipped.]

Jiao Bai: “…” That meant nothing was allowed, he didn’t dare to take the risk. The last punishment had left a very deep shadow on him, it was really damn it.

Just as the class bell rang, Jiao Bai heard the electronic voice.

[Passive participation is allowed.]

Jiao Bai paused as he flipped through his textbook, this meant that if the scum gong or cheap shou on the node actively sought his help when something happened, he could interfere.

Was that possible?

Jiao Bai recalled the original work, and determined that it wasn’t explained in detail, only in Shen Er An and Li Jue’s memories, one was disgusting, distorted and sarcastic, and the other was painful, unrepentant, and filled with obsessive love.

The plot wasn’t written directly, so there was nothing to refer to. Jiao Bai quickly sent a message to the female tablemate before the teacher came.

-I’m using this number now, look for me if anything happens.

Female tablemate: Definitely!

After school, Jiao Bai was picked up by Qi’s car and taken to Qi Corporation.

Zhang Zhen took him upstairs.

As the elevator went up, Zhang Zhen looked at his younger brother next to him, still wearing the One Middle School uniform, and had a strange feeling of an old father sending his child to the wedding venue.

Jiao Bai was pondering a question, not paying attention to the changes in Zhang Zhen’s emotions, his hand was writing and calculating in mid-air.

Zhang Zhen sighed, students had it rough.

After the college entrance examination, he wanted to apply to Third Brother to take Bai Bai out for a trip.

“Bai Bai, Liang Dong is out,” Zhang Zhen remembered something.

Jiao Bai’s problem-solving ideas were cut in two: “Did you find out?”

“No,” Zhang Zhen said, “He found a lawyer for himself before he went in and applied through the regular process.”

Jiao Bai wasn’t surprised, in the comic, Liang Dong entered the family business after graduation and did quite well, he had ambition and strategy, but it was a pity that he fell in love with Li Jue, broke with Shen Er An, who was invincible in the business world, and was crushed.

“Then why did he come out?” Jiao Bai asked.

“My friend who is restarting the case said there’s new progress,” Zhang Zhen put his arm around him, his tall and strong body leaning over, “He didn’t reveal the specifics, it’s confidential.”

Jiao Bai rubbed the pen marks on his face against the elevator door, estimating that it was related to Old Pan, the key figure in the kidnapping case. If they caught him and kept him alive, even if the mastermind behind the scenes wasn’t exposed, they could at least reveal a tail.

The elevator reached the top floor, Jiao Bai followed Zhang Zhen out, and there wasn’t a single person in the corridor.

Zhang Zhen had treated everyone in the secretary’s office to a big meal, so they weren’t around.

“Bai Bai, the keychain…” Zhang Zhen stopped outside Third Brother’s office, looking at his brother with a hesitant expression.

Jiao Bai gave him a “don’t worry” look.

Zhang Zhen, who couldn’t accompany him, waited for a while, and after confirming that his Bai Bai was really calm and not afraid, he notified Third Brother.

Qi Yi Liao’s office was a typical early domineering president style, with the area of a basketball court, a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, and very simple and imposing furnishings.

Not a single plant was placed.

The furniture was in shades of gray and black, mostly with angular styles, abstinent and zen-like.

Qi Yi Liao asked Jiao Bai to wait on the sofa, he was still busy.

Jiao Bai took off his school uniform jacket and threw it on the sofa, walking back and forth in a short-sleeved shirt. When he had turned around once, Qi Yi Liao had already put down the document, leaning on the office chair, watching him.

Qi Yi Liao’s voice was slightly tired: “What are you testing in the afternoon?”

Jiao Bai didn’t go over: “Math.”

There was a smile in Qi Yi Liao’s throat: “You’ll be fine.”

Jiao Bai’s eyebrows unconsciously stained with pride and smugness, of course, he was good at math.

“I’ll eat first.” Qi Yi Liao got up from the office desk with one hand pressing on it, and put one hand on his tie, hooking it with two bent fingers. He wanted to untie his tie and catch his breath.

“Xiao Bai,” Qi Yi Liao’s hand was still on his tie, but he didn’t move, he said, “Help uncle loosen his tie.”

Jiao Bai gave him a speechless look, really, did he need him to help with this too?

Qi Yi Liao smiled gracefully: “Help uncle.”

“It’s my first time untying a tie for someone,” Jiao Bai said, revealing his small tiger teeth, “Don’t blame me if I wrinkle it.”

Qi Yi Liao looked at him.

Jiao Bai thought Qi Yi Liao would say, “If it’s wrinkled, I don’t want it, I’ll change it,” who knew he would say, “If it’s wrinkled, iron it.”

Domineering president, your character is falling apart.

Jiao Bai walked around the desk and stood in front of Qi Yi Liao.

Qi Yi Liao leaned over with one hand pressing on the desk, his eyebrows relaxed, his posture lazy, in a “do whatever you want” posture.

Jiao Bai didn’t lie, it was really his first time touching a tie, the tie of a business tycoon, the touch was the hard work of top designers.

Before long, the tie was loosened by Jiao Bai, and wrinkled, but he had no guilt.

Qi Yi Liao didn’t care either, he turned another laptop on the desk to Jiao Bai: “Have fun yourself.”

After saying that, Qi Yi Liao went to the sofa and sat down, eating lunch by himself.

Jiao Bai didn’t have the heart to play on the computer, he looked at White Cat.

His fur, dyed red with blood, was like it had been carefully washed by its owner, and the color had become much whiter.

If he washed it again and soaked it, it could return to its original white fur.

Its appearance was recovering.

Jiao Bai went closer to Qi Yi Liao: “Third Brother, I brought the keychain.”

Qi Yi Liao was eating, his long legs wrapped in dress pants were casually spread, the tie under his shirt collar was wrinkled, but it didn’t affect his nobility and elegance. He took the time to praise: “Good boy.”

Jiao Bai reached for his school uniform jacket, took out the keychain from one side of the pocket, new, with a fluffy little white cat hanging on it.

Just by chance, the store had this number, so Jiao Bai took it.

There was also a small bell on the white cat’s neck.

Jiao Bai shook it, a crisp sound.

The sound seemed clear and abrupt in the large office.

Qi Yi Liao put down his chopsticks and wiped his lips with a paper towel: “I’ll rinse my mouth, we’ll talk later.”

Jiao Bai shook his head, what a neat freak.

He even bit him last night, and he didn’t even take a shower at that time, and even sweated.

Jiao Bai didn’t wait long before Qi Yi Liao returned to the office, he didn’t slouch when he walked, he was always upright, and the steps he took weren’t hurried and chaotic, the rhythm was even and steady. Jiao Bai subconsciously looked at his dress pants.

Under the gaze of the young man, Qi Yi Liao slowly walked towards him: “Look up.”

Jiao Bai’s head lifted up, and his upward-moving gaze suddenly stopped.

There was a small key in his field of vision.

Pinched by two long and straight fingers, swaying slightly in mid-air.

-The arc was like the smile on the devil’s lips.

Jiao Bai couldn’t sit still and stood up: “Third Brother, what lock is this key for?”

“You know the answer.” Qi Yi Liao sat where he had been sitting, raised an arm, and spread his palm: “Keychain.”

Jiao Bai wanted to pretend a little longer, but his hand didn’t listen, and quickly handed the keychain over.

Qi Yi Liao bent his finger and hooked the kitten.

Jiao Bai looked at the big cat, who was meowing at him very quietly.

Damn it.

It meowed, it wooed.

This day had really come!

Jiao Bai was overjoyed to tears… that was impossible. Because his activity didn’t increase, hehe.

The bell was ringing.

Qi Yi Liao pulled open the ring of the keychain and slowly buckled the small key onto it.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Qi Yi Liao buckled the key and held it in his hand, his dark gray eyes drooping, not knowing what he was thinking.

The atmosphere was inexplicably oppressive, yet exciting. Jiao Bai wanted to say something when he saw Qi Yi Liao lean his refined upper body forward and raise the keychain in his palm: “Take it.”

Jiao Bai didn’t take it.

Qi Yi Liao looked up at him for a long time, and shook the key: “It’s yours.”

“Bang.”

“Bang bang.”

Jiao Bai’s heart was beating, the sound running into his ears, he reached out his hand to the small key that was still shaking, his fingertips touched it, the touch wasn’t cold, it was warm. But he regretted it, and suddenly curled up his fingers.

The next second, something heavy settled on his little finger.

The keychain was put on.

Jiao Bai was in outer space for a moment, his body floating, Qi Yi Liao’s desire was on his little finger, this feeling was really…

He didn’t know how to say it, but it was very fresh, and his heartbeat hadn’t calmed down yet.

“Why are you giving it to me?” Jiao Bai’s voice was dry.

“I didn’t want to hold it myself, and I couldn’t think of who to give it to for a while,” Qi Yi Liao said lightly, as if he wasn’t giving the key to keep something important, and it would be lost if he lost it, “Put it with you for now.”

Jiao Bai looked down at Qi Yi Liao, and looked at him face to face, trying to hide the thought of opening the cage with the lock, and make his expression more serious: “Then isn’t it very inconvenient for you to unlock it every day?”

Qi Yi Liao put an arm on the back of the sofa, his neck bound by the shirt collar slightly raised, his back of his head against the sofa, lazily lifting his eyelids to look over.

Jiao Bai saw that Qi Yi Liao didn’t respond for a long time, and couldn’t help but widen his eyes, the cage wouldn’t never be opened, right?

No way, no way?

Then wouldn’t the caged bird Qi Yi Liao raised be underdeveloped, withered, injured, and crippled, and no matter how much it fluttered, it would still be small?

Jiao Bai glanced at the white cat who was wagging its tail at him, wagging very happily, but its neck was still broken, and almost determined his guess.

“What are you thinking?” Qi Yi Liao sighed, “The lock is opened occasionally.”

He smiled as he opened his mouth when he saw the corners of the young man’s mouth drooping: “So to make things easier, you should go back to Lan Mo Mansion.”

Jiao Bai: “…”

“Lan Mo Mansion is far from the school, it takes me a lot of time to go back and forth,” Jiao Bai said, while putting the key in his pocket.

Qi Yi Liao didn’t force him to commute, but just propped his head up, tightening his handsome jaw line, and said annoyedly: “Then what should I do when uncle wants to open the cage?”

“Okay, I’ll go back to live there!” Jiao Bai gritted his teeth, he shouldn’t have accepted the key. No, he shouldn’t have gone to the graveyard last night, he shouldn’t have discovered the cage, and he grabbed the railing, grabbing it so tightly, completely exposing his little secret.

Wrong, he was wrong, he would never eat bloody things again.

No more, no more.

While Jiao Bai was self-mocking, Qi Yi Liao got up from the sofa, walked behind him, his flat and wide shoulders slightly collapsed: “Xiao Bai, uncle will check your bite wounds.”

Before Jiao Bai could speak, a band-aid on the back of his neck was torn open. Then, another “tear” sound.

A warm breath brushed over the scabbed wound. Faintly, like a sticky kiss between lovers.

Was he going to gnaw on him again? Jiao Bai stretched his head forward, and his wound hurt, and a fingertip touched it, he “hissed” and behind him was Qi Yi Liao’s questioning voice, “Why wasn’t the wound treated?”

“No need,” Jiao Bai said, “It’ll be fine in a few days.”

Qi Yi Liao took him to the lounge and applied medicine to him: “Xiao Bai, will you have a scar?”

He didn’t get an answer.

The young man was lying on the back of the chair, tilting his head, his mouth slightly open, breathing evenly.

“It’s not good to have scars,” Qi Yi Liao threw the cotton ball into the trash can and muttered to himself, “But how can people not have scars, everyone has some.”

Qi Yi Liao stroked the end of the young man’s hair, and said in his ear: “There is only one key, you have to keep it safe.”

The sleeping person was disturbed and waved his arm impatiently.

His hand was held.

He struggled unconsciously, and then became stable.

The sleeping Jiao Bai didn’t know that a hand was groping at his shoulder blades, exploring every inch.

As if looking for the hidden pair of wings.

He didn’t know if he found it.

On the day of Qi’s annual tomb sweeping, Jiao Bai was also in Lan Mo Mansion, he didn’t leave the room, and no one came to make trouble for him.

When the sound of firecrackers rang, Jiao Bai walked to the small courtyard, smelled the burning paper money from the graveyard, and heard a few ritualistic cries.

In addition to the direct line, there were also collateral relatives at this tomb sweeping. Old and young, dragging their families, gathered together to look alright, not too desolate.

Jiao Bai thought he would see Qi Yi Liao in the evening, but he didn’t expect him to come over after the tomb sweeping. With a ruler, black clothes and black pants, his eyes were bottomless, like a blank.

The smell of incense on Qi Yi Liao was very strong, completely covering up his usual wet sandalwood fragrance, he sat in the reclining chair in the small courtyard and closed his eyes: “Xiao Bai, recite the scriptures.”

Jiao Bai opened his mouth and started.

At this time last year, he was still alive, preparing for the college entrance examination, copying scriptures to pray for his parents. At this time this year, he was still “alive”, preparing for the college entrance examination, reciting scriptures for an old pervert.

“Start over.” The person in the reclining chair was dissatisfied, and the ruler scratched on the grass, “If you’re distracted again, go recite in the sun.”

Jiao Bai stretched out his hand from his sleeve and pretended to pat Qi Yi Liao’s head a few times.

A cool sensation on his chin.

The ruler stretched out from the front and picked him up.

“Be serious.” Qi Yi Liao moved the ruler and tapped it lightly on his delicate Adam’s apple, “Uncle has a headache, don’t make uncle angry.”

Jiao Bai was just about to speak when the door was knocked, not Zhang Zhen or Aunt Liu, but the bolder collateral relatives of the Qi family, who somehow knew that Qi Yi Liao was here and came to find him.

It was rare to see the head of the family, and they wanted to please him in order to gain some benefits.

Qi Yi Liao made a phone call: “Drag them away.”

The door outside quickly became quiet.

The struggling sounds of the people who came didn’t even come out.

Jiao Bai pulled the hood of his sun shirt down to block the glare of the sun: “Third Brother, if I do something wrong, will you have people drag me away?”

Qi Yi Liao said: “No.”

Before Jiao Bai could relax, he heard him say again: “I will make you swallow the key.”

Jiao Bai blurted out: “Which mouth?”

The small courtyard was too quiet, the flowers, trees, and vines all reduced their presence.

Qi Yi Liao turned his head, his eyebrows furrowed, but his patience was revealed: “What, do you have any suggestions?”

“No,” Jiao Bai said, “I don’t know anything.”

“Pa.”

The sound was very crisp. Jiao Bai’s stomach was very cold.

Qi Yi Liao took out the ruler and put it in his hand, rubbing it a few times: “Recite.”

Jiao Bai slapped his own mouth, don’t be a demon, thank you!

The night before the college entrance examination, Jiao Bai lived in a hotel near the test center. Accompanied by him was Zhou Lanlan, they were at the same test center.

Zhou Lanlan was playing games, fearless.

Jiao Bai’s heart couldn’t calm down, he wasn’t afraid of not doing well on the test, it was purely because he had finally waited for this day in two lifetimes, and emotionally he couldn’t calm down.

His female tablemate in South City sent him a red envelope, wishing him a place on the gold list, and he returned a double red envelope and double blessings.

Not long after, Shen Er An’s call came.

Jiao Bai went out to answer: “You…”

Shen Er An on the other side spoke at the same time as him: “You…”

“You go first.” Jiao Bai stepped on the thick red carpet, his feet soft.

Shen Er An was silent for a while: “Are all the things, checked okay?”

“Yeah, what about you?” Jiao Bai asked in return.

Shen Er An responded softly: “Yeah.”

“Then go to sleep early,” Jiao Bai said with a smile, “Let’s work hard together.”

Shen Er An called his name: “Jiao Bai.”

“You, very, nervous,” Shen Er An said in a low voice.

Jiao Bai didn’t deny it.

“It’s okay, don’t, panic,” Shen Er An stammered to comfort him, “You’re very, excellent.”

“I know,” Jiao Bai smiled.

Shen Er An also smiled: “Yeah, good night.”

Jiao Bai sighed after hanging up the phone, he was still nervous, he walked back and forth in the corridor, occasionally doing a few frog jumps.

When he received Qi Yi Liao’s call, he was panting so badly that he spoke intermittently: “What, what for?”

“It’s not okay to relieve stress by exercising,” Qi Yi Liao heard his rapid breathing, paused for a moment or two, “Uncle has a suggestion for you, turn off your phone and go to sleep.”

Jiao Bai curled his lips: “I can’t sleep.”

“Then memorize words, memorize scriptures,” Qi Yi Liao laughed.

Jiao Bai: “…” He was already sleepy.
