Stop playing (1)
Shang Guang assisted from the sidelines seven or eight times and was so exhausted that those who didn’t know thought he would make a sumptuous banquet.
‘It’s too terrible. I’d better enroll Xi-ge in a class next time!’
When Xi Chengyun’s “love meal” was finished, Shang Guang saw it was getting late. Bai Qi was about to finish recording the program and bring Frank back.
“Xi-ge, I’m leaving first.”
He’d better leave on his own!
He also wanted to avoid assisting with two more dishes if Xi-ge’s cooking addiction reappeared. The few hairs on his head would truly fall by then.
It was the first time Xi Chengyun made such a table of food, and he sat there for a while to enjoy it; he could not care less whether Shang Guang wanted to leave or not.
He responded with a low “Mm,” then he didn’t give Shang Guang any more attention.
Only after Shang Guang had gone far away did he receive a call from Xi Chengyun.
His Xi-ge’s voice systematically came out from the other end, “You and I watched the “Star-Picking Youth” today. Do you know what to say?”
What to say?
Shang Guang’s brain made a difficult turn.
“I know, Xi-ge, don’t worry.” Shang Guang patted his chest.
He had just finished patting it when he met Bai Qi’s car in front of him.
Shang Guang hurriedly hung up the phone and tapped on the car window. “Mr. Bai! Bai Qi!”
Frank rolled down the side window.
Shang Guang still felt a jolt when he saw him and couldn’t help but mutter in his heart: ‘If I didn’t know that he was his biological brother, seeing him in Bai Qi’s car would be strange and shocking.’
“Xi-laoshi said that he’s treating us to dinner over here today. Is Shang-ge also joining us?” Bai Qi’s head slowly poked out.
Shang Guang said bitterly, “Hey, not me. Just watched “Star-Picking Youth” with Xi-ge…” After saying this, he couldn’t help but look at Bai Qi two more times, expressing hesitation.
This time, he was hesitant to speak.
Bai Qi’s skin tightened.
Bai Qi blinked slowly as he asked softly, “How is Xi-laoshi’s mood today?”
Shang Guang: “It’s hard to say.”
Frank heard this and nervously opened his mouth. “That’s certainly bad? It doesn’t matter. Let me think of how to coax…… gege.” He had just begun to call “gege,” still a little awkward.
Bai Qi leaned slightly against the chair, half tilting his head, and straightened his gaze. “How else to coax?”
He stepped on the gas with one foot.
When they arrived at the entrance of the villa.
Xi Chengyun had already waited there with an apron.
Xi Chengyun was tall and upright, with long legs and a thin waist. Hence, it was very pleasing to the eyes when he wore the apron.
Bai Qi looked at him and then at himself and felt guilty momentarily, as if Xi-laoshi was working hard to prepare dinner at home while he was fooling around.
Bai Qi opened the car door and walked down.
He had already begun to think about where to rub the slippery lotion in a while to coax Xi-laoshi for a better experience…….
“Elder brother! We’re back!” Frank had slight difficulty controlling himself, and his tone rose slightly, betraying a trifle of excitement.
His elder brother gave him a friendly and gentle look and asked, “Can you drive?”
Frank: “Yes!”
Xi Chengyun pointed to Bai Qi’s mini-car, “Drive this car out and away, can you?”
Frank: “I can.”
He turned back, sat in the driver’s seat, put on the seatbelt, and turned his head for a live demonstration.
When the car was a little farther away, he rolled down the window and turned his head toward the direction of the villa. “Elder brother! Bai Qi! I have driven it farther……”
After finishing his words, he felt it might be too far for them to hear. Not to mention hearing, he felt he couldn’t even see them. Oh, it’s wrong…… Frank squinted slightly and stared fixedly to take a closer look.
‘Ah, it doesn’t seem to be a problem of being unable to see clearly.’
Frank thought to himself.
‘It seems like it’s a matter of being unable to see his elder brother and Bai Qi.’
Frank was very courteous; indeed, he had inherited a few gentlemanly points from Xi Chengyun.
He felt that screaming loudly wasn’t civilized enough, so he hesitantly fumbled for his phone and dialed Xi Chengyun’s number.
Doo…… doo…… doo……
Just after three rings, it was hung up.
Frank sat in his seat, frozen momentarily, feeling slightly despondent.
He could now determine that his elder brother’s mood was not very good……
Suddenly remembering that he did not have a Chinese driver’s license, Frank could only abandon the car for the time being, opening the door and slowly walking out on foot.
At this end, Bai Qi had just sat before the dining table.
Xi Chengyun gently asked, “Do you like it?”
‘Ah, it’s like the scene in a movie or TV show where you angrily kill your cheating husband.’
Bai Qi blinked gently and whispered, “I like it.”
Xi Chengyun nodded, feeling extremely good.
He and Bai Qi sat together and ate a candlelight dinner for two and a half hours. Whenever he ate a dish, he had to ask again whether he liked it. The frequency was so high that it almost made Bai Qi suspect that Xi-laoshi might have become a pervert.
After dinner, all the dishes were given to the dishwasher.
No one would return tonight, plus the house had just been purchased, and the family hadn’t added a maid or anything yet. The place became quiet all of a sudden.
Xi Chengyun spoke warmly, “I heard there will be a rerun of the “Star-Picking Youth” on TV tonight. Do you want to watch it together?”
Bai Qi:?
‘No need, no need.’
‘Watching it again will deepen the hatred!’
Bai Qi got up quickly. “I’m going to take a shower.”
This was a subtle secret signal.
But Xi Chengyun acted as if he hadn’t received it; he was as gentle as though he was a snail girl*. He said, “Qi Qi, you can’t bathe after eating. Let’s take a walk around the yard first?”
*Snail girl: a kind-hearted and hardworking person.
Bai Qi: “I think it’s fine!”
Xi Chengyun really accompanied him and went around the yard first.
It was a long walk.
Bai Qi didn’t think this courtyard was this big before…… The more he wandered around, the more he felt guilty toward Xi-laoshi, almost pressing his brain into the dirt.
‘It is better if Xi-laoshi loses his temper!’
Bai Qi couldn’t help but hook Xi Chengyun’s finger, and he asked nervously, “Can I take a bath now?”
Xi Chengyun looked at him with his eyes downcast and smiled, “Yes.”
Bai Qi hurriedly turned around and headed for the bathroom. While rummaging for clothes and bath towels, he said loudly, “Xi-laoshi, wait for me!”
Bai Qi went into the bathroom.
Then, Xi Chengyun walked unhurriedly to the bathroom door and said, “Qi Qi’s memory of each of them is very deep. Even remembering clearly what kind of expression Zhou Qiyuan had on his face at his concert when he was 16……”
Hearing Xi Chengyun finally open his mouth to mention what happened on “Star-Picking Youth,” Bai Qi sighed in relief.
It felt like his ass was saved.
