Although Qiao Bai has a clear love and hate, he is not a personality who will hold grudges at all.

When he found out that Ke Yizhu obediently returned the puppy back to the pet store, he didn't care about the previous quarrel, and began to play with their junior high school friends again, and recently often asked to play on the basketball court.

But Ke Yizhu likes to ponder, he noticed that Lu Xingchuan didn't follow most of the time, and couldn't help but ask during the break, "Why doesn't Xingchuan come with you?"

Chopper put down the bottle of mineral water, wiped his mouth and said, "He, the company has a lot of training courses, so I don't have time."

Ke Yizhu didn't really care about that person, and then changed the topic: "By the way, why are you going to go in the New Year? Come with me to Taiwan, I have a cousin who is studying at National Taiwan University and can take us to play."

"Wow, Taiwan!" Qiao Bai's eyes lit up, and he turned to refuse: "But no, I have to go to Japan with Hoshikawa, and I won the prize for a two-person tour."

Ke Yizhu simply didn't know much about his life: "What?"

"Haven't you been drawing Pokemon before, I won the first prize, and I went to visit the original factory in Japan, eh, do you think I'm shit luck?" When Qiao Bai mentioned this, he was excited again.

Ke Yizhu frowned unhappily and asked directly, "Why don't you invite me to go?"

"It was Hoshikawa who gave me a raffle ticket." Qiao Bai touched his head: "So seriously, the prize belongs to him."

"If you give him back, he'll get it." Ke Yizhu became bored again.

Every time he was so mean and stingy, Qiao Bai couldn't get used to it, and it was the same at this moment.

This guy found that his good friend had become so calculating, and he couldn't help but be annoyed, "I can call whoever I like, what kind of tone do you have, annoying."

Ke Yizhu didn't say anything, but there was a little hurt expression on his delicate face.

After all, Qiao Bai has been mixed with him since he was a child, and now although the gap in his outlook on life is getting bigger and bigger, there are always feelings, so he lowered his voice and said, "I don't know why you are prejudiced against Lu Xingchuan, but if you look at people with colored glasses, you yourself will not be happy, others are very good, I don't allow you to tell me about disliking him again, otherwise we will have nothing to say."

"Hey, as for it?" Ke Yizhu watched Qiao Bai leave with his bag and couldn't help complaining.

Qiao Bai didn't look back, his pace was as fast as ever, and he left the gate of the school stadium in a moment.

――

Lu Xingchuan's low-key life did make He Mei relax her vigilance against him from a certain Cheng dù.

She recently heard that the child had taken leave to play abroad with Qiao Bai, so she took 20,000 yuan for the first time, and pretended to be kind and said, "You rarely go out, and you haven't been to Japan yet, right? Take it and buy whatever you like."

Lu Xingchuan, who was flipping through the textbook, refused, "Thank you, but don't worry, I have the card given by my father."

"He gives what he gives, and I give what I give." He Mei put the money on the table: "How have you been training at Light recently, did they say when they will call you to film?"

Lu Xingchuan heard the meaning of her words, so he said casually, "Next year, soon."

Her son's company has recently achieved a little success, and the thorn in her eye is about to get out of here, He Mei curled the corners of her mouth with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, I will never go back on what I promised, and I will not share my father's property." Lu Xingchuan stuffed the bright red cash back into her hand: "As for this, I won't ask for it."

At this moment, He Mei suddenly understood that the thorns on his stepson had never disappeared, but he usually stayed away, and the distance was beautiful.

"Well, have a great trip." He Mei finally snorted and left his room with the money twisted and twisted.

The residual smell of perfume in the air made Lu Xingchuan feel very disgusting, and he immediately walked to the window to breathe.

Who knew that when he raised his eyes, he saw Qiao Bai standing on the balcony of his house, holding his hands behind his back, and his head hung down.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Lu Xingchuan couldn't help but worry.

Qiao Bai raised his head in frustration: "I broke my father's computer, and now I can't find the manuscript, and the magazine is waiting to print it......

Lu Xingchuan laughed out loud without conscience all of a sudden, and found that he was really a disaster-making machine.

"Schadenfreude!" Qiao Bai was depressed.

"Tell Uncle Qiao to use the cloud disk in the future, and it's okay to change the computer like this." Lu Xingchuan built yì road.

"What's that?" Qiao Bai scratched his head.

"A network service, you just need to search for it." Lu Xingchuan replied.

Uncle Wang, who appeared in the yard to sweep the fallen leaves, couldn't help but look up and smile: "These two children, are they still talking across the wall?"

Lu Xingchuan bent the corners of his mouth, then retracted his body, still leaning on the hidden place by the window and secretly looked at Qiao Bai who was standing on the opposite side, and saw the stupid hair on his head that was blowing across his head, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction appeared in his heart.

――

The New Year's holiday came as scheduled, and due to the trouble of going to Japan, the two teenagers also deliberately took extra leave to complete the winning trip.

Lu Xingchuan, who had never been abroad, still relied on Silly Qiao to lead the way, so he boarded the plane smoothly.

He felt a little sorry: "It's been so hard, it didn't help."

"Why are you so polite?" Qiao Bai smiled and turned out the fruit to eat.

"Will a guide pick us up when we get to Tokyo?" Lu Xingchuan is a cautious person and took the initiative to confirm the itinerary with him.

"Yes." Qiao Bai said energetically, "When the time comes, you have to have a good relationship with the tour guide, so that you don't have to worry about us, and I'm going to an izakaya at night!"

Lu Xingchuan showed a caring idiot expression: "Come on, even if we don't care, who will sell alcohol to minors?"

"Yes...... Qiao Bai suddenly realized and said aggrievedly, "What should I do then?"

"What to do, no alcohol." Lu Xingchuan didn't follow him willfully this time.

Qiao Bai snorted and continued to bite the strawberries that his mother had washed in the box, and soon after the plane took off, he fell asleep without a breath.

Lu Xingchuan, who was seriously flipping through the book, suddenly felt that his shoulders were slightly heavy, and when he looked sideways and saw him leaning on him and sleeping stupidly, he couldn't help but be stunned, Qiao Bai's eyelashes were like European dolls, long and light, as if they would scratch his heart and make him feel itchy.

The passengers next to him were also sleeping, and the flight attendant was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Xingchuan didn't know where he got the courage, and suddenly touched his hand, so warm and real, like a cloud outside the window, from out of reach to within reach.

At this moment, Qiao Bai opened his big black eyes blankly: "...... Huh?"

Lu Xingchuan's heart almost jumped, but his face was very calm, and he didn't withdraw his hand, but took a tissue to help him wipe the juice of the strawberries indiscriminately: "Why are you so unhygienic?"

"Hee-hee." Qiao Bai showed a big smile and rubbed it on him unceremoniously, because he was too close, his breath was filled with the sweet smell of fruit.

Lu Xingchuan had a nervous breakdown: "What are you doing?!"

Qiao Bai only thought that he was hygienic and fried his hair, and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't move obediently, tell me to sleep for a while, I played games until three o'clock last night, and I was sleepy......

The pitiful and stiff Lu Xingchuan waited for a long time to confirm that this guy had really fallen asleep again, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He never felt the pain of a crush, but it was inevitably suppressed, and now there was a kind of excitement that was about to move, so that even his mind began to be dishonest.

This Japanese tour group also had a few lucky people from other countries participate, but Qiao Bai's foreign language was not good at all, so he only pestered Lu Xingchuan and the Chinese tour guide everywhere he went, for fear that he would be lost in a foreign country, and there was no heroism he had claimed before.

Lu Xingchuan is also happy to be followed by him constantly, taking things, taking pictures, and buying snacks along the way, and he is definitely a competent nanny.

Silly Joe saw that his friend had learned a lot of Japanese in two days, and could even communicate with the locals simply, and couldn't help but envy, "Why are you so smart?"

Lu Xingchuan has no interest in the candy factory he is in at all, but he feels very happy to have this guy by his side, and he often has a smile on his face that usually has few expressions: "It's okay, I don't talk much."

Qiao Bai, whose Japanese is still at the level of "Yaga" and "Ya Butterfly", grinned and hugged his shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Hey, it's New Year's at night, you have a birthday, find a way to buy some wine, let's celebrate with skewers and sushi."

"There is a law in Japan that you can't buy alcohol under the age of twenty, do you want to get into trouble?" Lu Xingchuan asked rhetorically.

"Oh, I'm not Japanese!" Qiao Bai looked at the obviously younger children in his group depressedly: "Eating children's meals every day is very boring."

Lu Xingchuan thought it was funny: "Now you feel young? It only shows that you and primary school students have similar interests."

"You dare to mock me?" Qiao Bai stretched out his hand to fight with him.

Lu Xingchuan coped with a few blocks, but fortunately, the tour guide took them to the gift area and wanted to give the big Bikachu figure, so that Qiao Bai instantly forgot what he had just said, rushed over and pushed the little boy away ruthlessly, and then responded positively: "My, mine, I want this!"

Lu Xingchuan and a parent who accompanied the child looked at each other and bent the corners of their mouths in embarrassment.

――

Silly Joe, who has been spoiled by his family, has always had to do whatever he wanted, otherwise he would have to make trouble around him.

Lu Xingchuan was very soft-hearted towards him, and when it came to free time at night, he had no other way but to pretend to be an adult and try to buy sake.

Fortunately, he is tall and well-trained, grabbing his hair according to the usual makeup artist's technique, and putting on a short leather coat, taking advantage of the night to be considered fake.

Qiao Bai followed him and looked at him curiously, "Actually, you're quite handsome."

Lu Xingchuan raised his hand and buttoned the hat on his hoodie: "Wait for me here, don't run around."

"Hmm." Qiao Bai nodded.

"Don't take a step." Lu Xingchuan was afraid that he would really lose himself in Japan, and he would have to regret and die at that time.

"I see, go!" Qiao Bai couldn't wait.

Lu Xingchuan then took a step towards a very small convenience store across the road, and lit a cigarette that he had only stolen from the hotel and pretended to be - I heard the tour guide say that the security in this neighborhood was not very good, and he probably didn't care too much as long as he gave the boss money.

In fact, it's okay to be a little risky because of Qiao Bai, but Xingchuan knows that if something goes wrong, he will find Lu Tao and He Mei's heads, so his acting skills are close and his behavior is very careful.

And Qiao Bai is used to being naughty, and he is simply a heartless fool.

He stretched his neck and looked around for a few minutes, and found that Lu Xingchuan really walked out with the bag, and immediately rushed towards him excitedly: "Wow, you are so powerful, let me see what you bought!"

Lu Xingchuan smiled and grabbed his wrist: "Hurry up."

When Qiao Bai was sober, this was already the most intimate move.

――

Sake, beer, plum sake, and a variety of skewers line the wooden table.

Qiao Bai immediately opened the door after taking a bath and appeared, staring at the head of the chicken nest and smiling, "Happy birthday! You're not cold, are you?"

Lu Xingchuan liked this traditional ryokan very much, and sat here looking at the courtyard for a long time, then looked back and said, "It's okay, but can you put on your clothes?"

Qiao Bai fastened his Japanese yukata indifferently: "What are you afraid of, the Japanese girl is still walking on the snow with bare legs."

"What's the analogy with this, people have been used to it since childhood." Lu Xingchuan took a sip of wine.

Qiao Bai still didn't get rid of the lack of heart and eyes, and immediately pulled up the bathrobe: "I can get used to it too!"

Lu Xingchuan saw his two long, straight white legs in the moonlight without warning, and his face turned red in an instant.

Fortunately, Qiao Bai didn't notice anything unusual, and was already attracted by the skewers: "Is it cold? Well, it's delicious, you can try this!"

Lu Xingchuan nervously pressed his jeans and didn't dare to move.

Qiao Bai sat cross-legged next to him eating and drinking, and suddenly raised his head and shouted as if he had discovered a new world, "The stars here are so beautiful, look at them."

Lu Xingchuan raised his neck and saw countless silver lights dotted on the dark blue sky, and he lost his mind for a while.

"Does your name mean galaxy?" Qiao Bai asked.

"Well, my mom loves to look at the stars." Lu Xingchuan replied softly.

Qiao Bai still couldn't understand the pain of losing his loved one, but for fear that he would remember the sad thing, he quickly leaned over and grabbed his arm and said, "Don't think about it."

Lu Xingchuan turned his head sideways, revealing a gentle look.

Qiao Bai thought he missed his mother, so he changed the subject and said, "Plum wine is delicious, it's sweet, you can taste it."

Lu Xingchuan took the bottle into his hand.

Qiao Bai looked stupid again, and grinned: "Cheers, we won't get drunk today!"

――

The two had a sneaky dinner that lasted for more than an hour, but in the end only Silly Joe was the only one who got drunk.

Lu Xingchuan was very afraid that he would lose his temper after drinking, so he didn't drink much at all.

Qiao Bai, who didn't want anything, emptied all the bottles and jars, and fell there in a daze unable to move.

Lu Xingchuan carried this guy back to the house, ran to the bathroom and washed a hot towel out.

Taking advantage of this effort, Qiao Bai had already untied the yukata, and drunkenly patted his little belly and hummed: "It's good to hold ......."

Lu Xingchuan was speechless, hurriedly dressed again, and seriously helped him wipe his face and neck.

The sudden feeling of comfort made Qiao Bai sleep more deeply, and he didn't react at all.

Lu Xingchuan sat on the tatami mat, staring at his eyelashes, his lips, and his defenselessness.

The uncontrollable desire made the teenager do exactly the same thing as a year ago: leaned over and kissed Qiao Bai, but the kiss became extraordinarily long and sensational because no one disturbed him.

Lu Xingchuan's heart was beating out of control, as if a fire was burning from his body, causing him to suddenly press on Qiao Bai's body, untie the bathrobe he had tied with his own hands two minutes ago, and then with trembling, he stroked the smooth and even immature skin.

What is love, what is love.

This is something that many adults can't summarize, and Lu Xingchuan can't find the answer at all.

But he kissed Qiao Bai's face, listened to him hum like a small animal, and when he was released in his hands, he almost felt the urge to die for him.

But...... It's just impulsive.

Lu Xingchuan sat up gaspingly, looked at the completely ignorant Silly Qiao, and felt that he was very dirty.

He didn't dare to continue, and he didn't dare to accept the possibility of being hated and abandoned by him.

A helpless tear suddenly dripped from the eyes of this young man who had just turned seventeen, extinguishing his □□, but nourishing the love in his heart, making the tree that grew in his heart because of Qiao Bai more and more branches and leaves.

――

But he said that the little fool who woke up with a headache the next day didn't have any vigilance at all, covering his head and rolling on the tatami mat: "I don't drink so much anymore, it's so uncomfortable."

"We're not going to visit today, you can sleep a little longer." Lu Xingchuan had been sitting next to him for a long time reading a book.

"Stomach aches, hungry again......" Qiao Bai complained.

Lu Xingchuan remembered his previous injury, and stood up with regret: "Then I'll help you buy porridge, don't eat too stimulating food."

Qiao Bai opened his eyes wide: "I still want to eat poached eggs, will Little Japan sit on poached eggs?"

"Just ask." Lu Xingchuan was very patient.

"Wait!" Qiao Bai suddenly sat down with his head in the chicken nest, pulled his schoolbag and rummaged through: "I drank too much yesterday and forgot about it, your birthday gift!"

Lu Xingchuan took it in a daze, and found that it was a keychain in the shape of a beautiful milk bottle, with the logo of an international brand.

"Hey, I read in the magazine that my mom went to France to watch a show, and I asked her to buy it for me." Qiao Bai thought he was very smart: "Xingchuan is the Milk, and the Galaxy is Milk, my gift is very appropriate, right?"

Lu Xingchuan held it tightly and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"Thank you." Qiao Bai fell down lazily again: "I promised you that I would celebrate your birthday every year."

Lu Xingchuan stopped talking, turned around and left the room.

He was really grateful to Qiao Bai's rough nerves, so he retained this "friendship" a little, and did not expose his unsightly thoughts to the sun, so that he had nowhere to hide.
