Chapter 26 (II)

Chen Yi didn't pay much attention to Bai Yuyuan and Li Qizhi, and Bai Qi, in order to "show loyalty" to Chen Yi, kept saying that he was entangled by Bai Yuyuan, how annoying he was, and finally she took a sip of red wine and interrupted him, "Okay, it's rare for us to eat together, don't always mention things that make people unhappy." β
She had thin skin and was not very good at drinking, so she had only drunk half a glass, her face was already flushed, her eyes were slightly out of focus because she was slightly drunk, and her tone of voice was no longer so domineering, but gentle and gentle, shaky.
Bai Qi no longer mentioned other people's affairs, just stared at her intently, so charming, no longer the "Yiyi" before the breakup, but "Chen Yi", she is mature, and the unconsciously amorous gestures are like a sea, which can stir up men of any age, and after a while, he actually said sullenly: "In the future, don't drink in front of others." β
Chen Yi could read everything from his eyes, but she deliberately held her cheek with the back of her hand holding the wine glass, looked at him with confused eyes, and asked softly, "Why?"
Bai Qi is not a pure little cabbage in the love field, he knows that she is knowingly asking, so he laughs at her evilly, it is very wonderful, although there is no dialogue, but there is a silent exchange between the two, just the exchange of eyes back and forth, it is like three hundred rounds in the ring, after all, they have a "past", enough to produce a symphony in silence.
When a bottle of red wine on the table was half empty, Bai Yuyuan downstairs had already left with Li Qizhi's arm, and the two of them upstairs had already forgotten the purpose of this trip, Bai Qi used the strength of the wine to pinch Chen Yi's wrist from time to time to reminisce about the past, and Chen Yi was also drunk and did not refuse, the atmosphere between the two was very cheerful, Bai Qi mentioned many things in the past, which made Chen Yi laugh.
After being full of wine and food, Bai Qi was obviously reluctant, but Chen Yi repeated three times, "I should go back." Then, breaking free of his hand and standing up, he picked up his blazer with a look of disappointment and followed.
Walking out of the door, Chen Yi and Bai Qi looked at each other for a while and said, "You drank alcohol and can't drive." β
He spread his hands and smiled as a matter of course, "yes." β
It turned out to be deliberate, Chen Yi nodded, and said indifferently, "Then I'll take a taxi back." β
He took her hand and said, "Go back." β
"Neurotic, ten kilometers away......" Chen Yi smiled and glared back at him, but saw that his brows were tightly locked, his eyes were like torches, and the desire in his eyes almost burned her through a hole, she was stunned for a while, and then nodded in agreement.

Chen Yi was pulled by Bai Qi to walk her in the night, and the sparse pedestrians passed them quickly, they should all be rushing in the direction of home, and then she and him walked very slowly, as if there was no place to return, this night, it was stolen, once the sky lit up, they had to go back to their nests that did not belong to them.
Bai Qi couldn't help but ask, "How did we get to where we are today?"
Chen Yi chuckled, "Have you forgotten? I remember every step." β
Bai Qi smiled bitterly, "Don't you think it's ridiculous in retrospect? No one splits their legs, no one empathizes with each other, no one makes any principled mistakes in their relationship, why do they separate?...... I regret it. β
"It's so rare to hear you say regret. Chen Yi was really surprised, because Bai Qi was a person who would not show weakness, perhaps because of the effect of alcohol, he exuded a soft aura around him, and he was no longer fully armed.
Bai Qi stopped, turned his face to look at her, and said solemnly: "Chen Yi, I regret not keeping you." β
"Don't regret it, Bai Qi, it's enough to love, in fact, you don't have to be together, I'm very happy to see you. Chen Yi looked up at him and replied solemnly, "I thank you for not keeping me and giving me time and space to grow." β
But he didn't give up, "Then are you done growing, when will you come back to me?"
A drop of rain suddenly hit the tip of Bai Qi's nose, and then the fine and dense rain fell like a pearl of broken threads, he quickly took off his suit and put it on Chen Yi's head, and at the same time bent down and hugged her horizontally in his arms.
Bai Qi walked quickly in the rain towards the bus stop where he could shelter from the rain in the distance, Chen Yi saw that the rain was getting heavier, and the rain hit him so much that he couldn't open his eyes, so he struggled to get down, she said, "I can walk by myself." β
"Don't make a fuss. Bai Qi frowned, but was laughing, "This is God asking me to hug you." β
The rain soaked the medicated gauze on Bai Qi's face, and a piece of blood cut down from the wound that had not yet scabbed, Chen Yi saw it in her eyes, her heart twitched violently, and she said, "Bai Qi, you let me go." β
You put me down - there was a double meaning in her words, Bai Qi understood, he shook his head and said, "Impossible." β
Bai Qi carried Chen Yi all the way to the bus stop, Chen Yi felt his hands straining, and thought that he was going to let her down, but it turned out that he was all around her tighter, and his arms were held up, so that her whole person gathered in his arms like a small cloud, Bai Qi's face was buried in her neck, his wet hair was against her cheeks, and he said in a pleading tone in her ear, "Chen Yi, don't tell me to let you go, I can't do it." β
Chen Yi was speechless for a while, so he could only quietly let him hold her after he had enough.
Standing side by side in front of a glittering billboard, the two men watched the dark night sky raining like a silver thread, as if they were watching a movie where the plot direction could not be known.
I don't know how long they waited, a taxi pulled up in front of them, and the driver seemed to roll down the window in confusion and asked them loudly, "Hey, are you leaving?"
Bai Qi came back to his senses, wiped the rain off his face, stepped forward to open the car door, protected the top of Chen Yi's head with his palm, and when she entered, he also squeezed in the back row with her, and told the driver the hotel address.
During the taxi, Bai Qi held Chen Yi's hand, in other words, they should have kissed at this moment, however, now he could only suppress his impulse, hold her hand, and keep rubbing the skin on the back of her hand with his thumb.
And Chen Yi knew from his wheezing that his emotions were fluctuating violently, and the biggest concession she could make was to let him hold his fingers with herself, he was so hard that her skin was sore, as if it had been rubbed and wrung dry repeatedly.

Back at the hotel, Chen Yi jumped out of the car and rushed to the elevator without looking back, she didn't dare to look back at Bai Qi's eyes, even if she didn't look, her back could feel it, his eyes were like a net, like a spear, like a straight laser, staring at her urgently and longingly, no, Chen Yi's heart was beating like a drum, no, she repeatedly warned herself that she felt like a fish, had been pierced by his hook, as long as he pulled harder, she was going to fall into his arms.
Why is he such a bastard?Chen Yi entered the elevator, and then leaned her back against the wall, combing her breathing while fixing her hair in the mirror, and she saw that her eyes were confused, which made her very disliked, because it took her a lot of time to get away from the bastard who could easily disturb her mind.
There must be no turning backβshe calmed down, her eyes readjusted to a state of indifference and self-controlβand no one could ruin what she had worked so hard to build, and the environment around her was built brick by brick, and there was no room for leaks or weaknesses.
Chu Fan was very surprised by Chen Yi's return, "Why did you come back?"
"Otherwise?" Chen Yi asked coldly.
Chu Fan said disappointedly: "I thought you were cooking meat tonight." β
Chen Yi said: "I won't do anything to be sorry for Chi Nuo. β
Chu Fan laughed loudly and threw the towel he took from the bathroom on her, "You just did it, what can he do with you? How can you break up? You figure out the status of the two of you now, are you a Wu Zetian? Even if there are groups of three or five around him, he will only sit in the BMW and cry in order to rub your brocade clothes and food, how dare he share it with you." β
"All I have on my mind is work. Chen Yi wiped her hair, threw the towel back to Chu Fan, and sat down in front of her computer.
"Then you are not a working machine, you are a woman, and in addition to a successful career, it is normal to share a little heart for feelings-" Chu Fan lay down on the sofa on the side, grabbed the apple in the fruit bowl and took a bite, and then changed the conversation, "It's okay to play with feelings, but don't touch money, you have money, you are qualified to play with feelings, understand? No one can touch your money." β
Chen Yibai glanced at her, didn't want to answer, the mobile phone in her hand rang, it was Bai Qi, at dinner tonight, at his strong request, she had already exchanged WeChat with him again, and lifted the blacklist of his number.
Chen Yi hesitated for a while, but he answered out of curiosity, what did he want to do? Bai Qi said on the phone: "Yiyi, I'm in the room next to you, I'll wait for you." β
