20 Chapter 10
When she woke up from her grogginess, it was already dawn, and Baicao looked at the time, it was half past eight in the morning, she was startled, and hurriedly got out of bed, dressed and washed her face. She had never gotten up so late, and her mind was still a little muddy, and she felt as if something very chaotic had happened, but she couldn't remember it, just like in a dream, and it seemed to be real. She wanted to ask Xiaoying, but found that Xiaoying had already left first.
Hurriedly closing the door of the house, she was about to rush to the training center, when she looked up, she suddenly saw the row of poplar trees in front of her, where Hatsuhara was waiting.
The sun shines.
The leaves swayed gently.
"If you don't come out yet, I'm going to knock on the door and call you." Hatsuhara walked up to her and asked, "Does your head still hurt?" β
ββ¦β¦ It doesn't hurt. β
"Don't drink again next time," Hatsuhara handed her a cup of soy milk and a cake, "The breakfast in the cafeteria is over, you can eat these." β
Baicao took it with a blushing face and explained:
"I thought it was a drink."
"Well, then you'll know from now on, don't drink too much of a drink that tastes alcoholic," Rubbing her head, Hatsuhara said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to the training center." β
"I can go on my own!"
"You're getting late, and the car is parked there." Hatsuhara pointed.
The midsummer sun is in full swing, and the earth seems to be burning. The car drove very steadily, the air conditioner was blowing softly, and the world seemed to be different from the outside, the soy milk was still warm, the cake was also very fragrant, and Baicao sat in the co-pilot's seat, concentrating on eating.
"Last night, I couldn't find Ruobai," seeing that she was drinking soy milk through a straw, Hatsuhara drove carefully around a pothole on the road, "I will continue to look for it today." β
ββ¦β¦β
Baicao was stunned, she let go of the straw and looked at him.
"You've been looking all night?"
"The places I went to last night seem like you've been there during the day. I got the contact list of their class from one of Wakabaku's classmates, but no one knows where he went," turning the car, Hatsuhara looked ahead, and thought, "Wakahaku is a cautious person, so nothing should happen." However, there are some places where I will also ask again, and I will keep you informed whether there is any news or not. You can train with peace of mind and don't have to worry too much. β
Baicao looked at the tiredness in his eyes in a daze, could it be that he had been looking for Ruobai all night and hadn't slept all night......
Hatsuhara turned his head, smiled at her, and said:
"Don't worry, huh?"
"Hmm."
She answered, lowered her head crampedly, and suddenly remembered what she had said to him last night, and she ate the soy milk and cake in a panic, not daring to look at him again.
"Here we are."
In front of the white arena of the training center, Hatsuhara parked the car, reached over to help her unbuckle her seat belt, and said:
"I'll go in with you."
"Huh?"
Baicao was at a loss.
Hatsuhara got out of the car, helped her open the car door, and said, "They all saw it last night, and I'm worried that they will ask you too much." β
ββ¦β¦β
Baicao continued to be dazed, her eyes widened, staring blankly at Hatsuhara, suddenly, her brain boomed, and the chaotic fragments of her memory flashed and whistled! She was drunk, she was in Chu Yuan's arms, the noise suddenly sounded, and the stunned faces of the team members, Tingyi was at the front......
That's not a dream!
That's true......
"It's okay," Hatsuhara rubbed her hair, "I'll make it clear with them." β
"No!"
Her heart was in a mess and she subconsciously refused to speak. Although she didn't know what to do, if there was a scene like that just last night, and she appeared with Hatsuhara today, Tingyi would definitely be embarrassed. Tingyi's feelings for Chu Yuan, everyone in the team understands, and she has always thought that Tingyi is Chu Yuan's girlfriend before.
"I can do it myself."
Taking a breath, Baicao made herself look calmer, and she barely squeezed out a smile at Hatsuhara, saying, "Everyone is very good to me, it won't be good." β
"Are you sure?"
"Hmm!"
ββ¦β¦ Okay," Hatsuhara stared at her, "if something is upset, remember to call me." β
"Okay."
When he walked up the high steps of the training hall and pushed open the glass door, Baicao's hand was still stiff with nervousness. She turned her head, and in the distance, under the scorching sun, Hatsuhara was still standing by the car looking at her. Biting her lip, she pushed open the glass door and walked in, the cold air in the hall made her shiver suddenly.
The building is quiet.
It was as if there was no one else but her.
Walking to the door of the storage room, there was no sound from the outside, Baicao opened the door, and was stunned for a moment-
The small room was full of people.
Lin Feng, Mei Ling, Xiaoying, and Guangya were standing and sitting, and everyone's expressions were a little wrong, as if they had just argued before she came in, and there was still some kind of gunpowder in the air.
When they saw her come in, everyone's expressions changed. Tingyi, who was standing in front of the locker, also slowly turned around.
"Baicao......" Mei Ling frowned, unable to hold her breath.
"Baicao, you're drunk, aren't you?" Anxious to interrupt Mei Ling, Xiaoying hurriedly asked, she didn't seem to have slept well all night, and there were big dark circles under her eyes.
ββ¦β¦β
Baicao was stunned.
"Drunk, isn't it?" Xiaoying was anxious and panicked, and asked again in an accentuated tone.
ββ¦β¦ Yes, I was drunk last night. β
"Huh, I'll just say, Baicao must be drunk, and then Senior Brother Hatsuhara saw that Baicao was drunk, and he couldn't stand steadily, and he was about to fall, so he picked up Baicao, who knew that he happened to be bumped into by us, and there was a misunderstanding." Xiaoying said with relief, and laughed dryly, "Hehe, it's nothing, it's just a misunderstanding, it has nothing to do with Baicao, even if I'm drunk and asleep, Senior Brother Hatsuhara won't watch me fall, it's normal to help or pick me up." β
"Really?"
Mei Ling said suspiciously, staring at Baicao.
"yes, I think so, too." Guangya nodded in agreement, and then said, "Baicao, you can change your clothes quickly." β
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
Baicao walked over, and she could feel Mei Ling's gaze still fixed on her. Walking to the locker, Tingyi's faint voice came from her ear:
"You did it on purpose, right?"
ββ¦β¦β
Baicao was stunned and looked at Tingyi.
There was a faint disdain at the corner of Tingyi's lips, but her eyes were a little sharp, she looked back at Baicao, and said slowly: "Last night, you deliberately got drunk, deliberately approached Brother Hatsuhara, and deliberately let Brother Hatsuhara have to pick you up, right?" β
"What?"
Mei Ling was shocked, and her gaze suddenly changed when she looked at Baicao.
"Tingyi, don't talk nonsense, Baicao is not that kind of person!" Snatched it and stood next to Baicao, Xiaoying immediately said.
"Oh?"
Tingyi smiled and said with an impassive expression:
"So what kind of person is she? Xiaoying, from the beginning, I didn't like Baicao, do you want to know why? β
"......," Xiaoying looked at Tingyi and then at Baicao, and said embarrassedly, "for...... Why? β
"Because, she is too ambitious and too good at pretending."
Tingyi looked at Baicao lightly and said:
At that time, she had just entered the Songbai Gym and behaved silently and well-behaved. But just because Ruobai didn't choose her, but chose Xiuqin to go out of the circuit hall challenge, she became angry in public, questioned Ruobai, and attacked Xiuqin. In her heart, there is no sense of superiority in the group at all, only whether she can participate in the competition. β
Baicao bit her lip.
"That's because ......," Xiaoying wanted to explain.
"Then, she had a crush on Brother Hatsuhara," Tingyi interrupted Xiaoying, "She made all kinds of excuses every day to go to Brother Hatsuhara, and even, she did not hesitate to deliberately get many bruises on her body when she was training, so that the kind Brother Hatsuhara helped her with medicine every day." β
Many memories of three years ago flashed in Xiaoying's mind, and she looked at Baicao stupidly, opened her mouth, and her eyes became glazed.
"I didn't, I didn't deliberately hurt myself, I didn't deliberately make excuses." The cold qi poured out from his body, and Baicao's body trembled slightly.
Tingyi continued sarcastically:
"She also used Ruobai, in order to make Ruobai willing to train more with her, she did not hesitate to use Ruobai's feelings to date Ruobai......"
"I didn't!"
Baicao is really in a hurry!
She can tolerate any kind of slander, but if it is white, she can't!
"You don't?" Tingyi stared at her and took a step closer, "That night, what I saw in the night market, wasn't it you and Ruobai?" β
"It's me and Senior Brother Wakabai, but we don't have ......"
"What I don't understand is," Tingyi said coldly, "Qi Baicao, since you have a crush on Brother Chu Yuan, and you are dating Ruobai, why do you want to tease my brother?" β
Tease?!
Ting Hao's senior?!
Like lightning exploding in the house!
Mei Ling and Xiaoying stared at Baicao in disbelief, and even Lin Feng and Guangya were stunned.
"I didn't!"
Baicao clenched his fists.
"That day, I saw it with my own eyes, but you deliberately knocked my brother to the ground, lay on his body, and kissed him, am I mistaken?"
"You ......"
Baicao trembled all over, and there had never been a moment when she hated herself so clumsy and clumsy.
"I didn't mean to, I was careless......"
"Hehe, it wasn't intentional," Tingyi smiled disdainfully, "So much wasn't intentional, so much carelessness, so you didn't mean to get drunk last night, you didn't design Brother Hatsuhara to hug you, it wasn't intentional, right?" That's a great explanation! β
ββ¦β¦β
Baicao stood dumbfounded, shivering and turning to a deeper cold.
"Well, even if I believe you, I'm sure you didn't mean it." Tingyi took a deep breath, paused, and said, "I only ask you one word, I hope you can answer me honestly!" β
Tingyi's voice contains ice:
"Y-did you have a crush on Brother Hatsuhara?"
The house was full of dead silence.
didn't breathe at all, Xiaoying was very nervous, Mei Ling, Lin Feng, and Guangya looked at Tingyi and Baicao in front of them stupidly like wood carvings.
"If this question is difficult to answer, then I will ask you a simple one," Raising an eyebrow, Tingyi looked at Baicao and said, "I can't ask you - from now on, put away your shameless methods, and stop pestering Brother Hatsuhara!" β
"Tingyi," Lin Feng said aloud, "everyone is a teammate. β
"Teammates? Oh, I don't dare to call someone who wants to snatch my boyfriend all the time, be my teammate. Tingyi smiled faintly and looked at Baicao, "Why, can't you do it?" Do you still want to continue to pester Brother Hatsuhara in the future? β
That kind of gaze......
As if in a cold dream, Baicao could see Tingyi's disgusted and disdainful eyes, Xiaoying's stunned and disdainful, Mei Ling's shock and suspicion, Lin Feng's worry, and Guangya's nervousness. She was cold, and only by clenching her fists could she restrain the shaking of her body.
ββ¦β¦ I like Brother Hatsuhara. β
Her voice squeezed out of her throat with a chaotic roar in her head. Yes, she likes Senior Brother Hatsuhara. Whether it was the choking aroma of medicinal oil when Hatsuhara rubbed her bruises in the cabin three years ago, or the strawberry hair band that Hatsuhara helped her comb her hair and tie it before the challenge with the Kenbudo Hall......
When Hatsuhara was in the United States, she stood at the counter of a stationery store and bought the fountain pen with the change she had saved so hard......
Hatsuhara returned to China, and the first time she saw him in the practice hall......
opened the locker and saw the red and crystal strawberry hairpin that she had liked for a long time, but had been reluctant to buy......
"I'm sorry, I can't promise you," Baicao raised her head to look at Tingyi, she bit her lip, her eyes lit up amazingly, "I like Senior Brother Hatsuhara." β
Xiaoying's face suddenly turned white.
Tingyi's eyes changed, she stared at Baicao deadly, for a while, and suddenly smiled again, her smile was as cold as broken ice, and said, "Very good, you finally stop pretending." It's just that, at this moment when you officially declared war on me, what I have to tell you is-"
The light flows.
A sparkling diamond ring sparkles between Tingyi's fingers.
"-I am the fiancΓ©e of Brother Hatsuhara, and you, Qi Baicao, are a despicable third party."
******
The atmosphere during the training was extremely weird, and Coach Shen Ning had to stop the practice twice to make everyone feel like sleepwalking. Without Ruobai, Baicao was still training alone, and during the break, Xiaoying didn't sit down and talk to her as usual, and the girls were unusually silent, and Kou Zhen and they were also aware of it.
"It's hard to get used to you being so quiet today."
Yifeng stretched out his sleep, glanced at Baicao sitting alone in the corner, and then looked at the unprecedentedly silent Xiaoying beside him, and asked:
"Quarreled with Baicao?"
"Shut up! Don't talk to no one when you're dumb. Xiao Ying said angrily.
As soon as the training was over, Xiaoying left the training hall like the wind, still without saying a word to Baicao. Baicao's heart was heavy, she cleaned alone in silence, and Lin Feng patted her shoulder when she left. Guangya hesitated, squatted down, picked up a rag that Xiaoying usually used, and helped her wipe the mat together.
"Although I don't know what Tingyi said, I have lived with you for so many years, and I know what kind of person you are. You see, I've misunderstood you and disliked you. But, one day, those who know you will understand you. β
Guangya said worriedly:
"Baicao, don't be too upset."
The rag rubbed the mat vigorously, and after a while, Baicao lowered his head and replied:
"Hmm."
Finally finished cleaning the training hall, Guangya also left, looking at the emptiness around her and no one around, Baicao stood in a daze for a while, until the music of her mobile phone woke her up.
ββ¦β¦
White moonshine
Somewhere in my heart
So bright
But it's so cold
β¦β¦β
This is the mobile phone given to her by Ting Hao's senior, Baicao thought in a daze, it should be returned to Ting Hao's senior, why did she forget it when she was at the airport? Yes, because at that time, when he first picked her up, he was standing in such a conspicuous place holding a heart-shaped pink sign on his chest.
ββ¦β¦
You are a wound I can't speak
Want to forget
I couldn't help but think about it
β¦β¦β
The music continued to play, and she took out her mobile phone from the backpack placed by the window, but it was not the bright smiling face of Ting Hao's predecessor that jumped and flashed on it, but two words-
"Hatsuhara".
"Is the training over?" A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
"I'm in the hospital right now, and I'm going to work half a day in the ward today, and I can go back in the evening."
"Hmm."
"Also, I've checked all the hospitals and police stations, and there's no record of any accident." Hatsuhara said to her, "I'll continue to look for Ruobai, it's too hot today, don't come out and run again." β
Hearing that Ruobai didn't have an accident, her heart was slightly relieved.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Hatsuhara."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and Hatsuhara asked again:
"Are you okay over there?"
ββ¦β¦β
The dazzling diamond flashed in her mind, and her eyelashes fluttered, not knowing how to answer.
Without waiting for her voice, Hatsuhara said:
"I'll look for you when I get back in the evening, okay?"
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
Back in the storage room, Ting Yiran was also there, she had already taken a shower and changed her clothes, her long black hair, and her thin shoulder strap long skirt with white ink lotus flowers, pure and beautiful.
Baicao was stunned.
She shook the mobile phone in her hand, walked over, handed it to Tingyi, and said, "This is what Ting Hao's predecessor lent me to use, please help me return it to him." β
Tingyi glanced at the phone and didn't pick it up.
"Why don't you go and pay it back yourself?"
Baicao was silent, she put her phone on the partition of Tingyi's locker, saluted, and said, "I'm sorry for you." β
Tingyi frowned, she picked up the bag, threw the phone inside, turned around and left.
"Please wait a minute."
Baicao called out to her.
Tingyi turned around impatiently, saw Baicao take out a thick envelope in her hand, looked at her and said, "I should bear half of the cost of last night's dinner." I'm sorry I was drunk at the time and didn't give it to you in time. β
"Ha," Tingyi smiled, "you're going to give me money?" β
"Yes."
"Do you know how much money it was last night?"
"I don't know."
"Okay, since you're so polite, I won't shirk it."
Tingyi stared at her and said a number coldly. Baicao was stunned for a few seconds, she lowered her head, counted out a stack from the envelope, counted another stack, and counted another stack of banknotes, and the thick envelope suddenly deflated.
"This is my part," Baicao returned the money to her with both hands, "and the mobile phone bill I used was also put in." β
Tingyi took it with an expressionless face.
She turned away, not even looking at Baicao anymore.
******
Shobai Gym.
Xiao Ying disappeared at lunch time, and after lunch, Xiao Ying, who had always wanted to take a long nap, still seemed to be missing. Baicao was uneasy, but Uncle Fan and Aunt Fan didn't care, saying that Xiaoying must have gone shopping to watch a movie, so let Baicao not worry.
Sit on the bed.
The sun was blazing outside the window, Baicao looked at Xiaoying's bed in a daze, she saw Xiaoying's pale face at that time, and she had been waiting for Xiaoying to interrogate her as before. But Xiaoying didn't say a word to her, nor did she face her, she didn't even have a chance to explain.
I waited a long time.
Baicao couldn't sit down anymore.
Then, let's go ahead and find Senior Brother Ruobai. Baicao closed the door and decided to go to a few more places to look for it.
******
"Hatsuhara, someone is looking for it."
In the hospital duty room, Chu Yuan was on the phone, and Dr. Yao walked in and said, "Your girlfriend is getting more and more beautiful, go quickly, I'll be on duty for you!" β
Hearing the reply in the microphone, Hatsuhara put down the phone. He followed Dr. Yao's line of sight, and Tingyi was standing in the corridor outside the duty room.
"Dr. Yao, she's not my girlfriend."
Standing up, Chu Yuan explained to him before walking out.
"Huh?" Doctor Yao looked at his back, shook his head and said to himself, "Young people, girls are reserved, she must like you, otherwise she wouldn't come to you often." β
******
There were almost no pedestrians on the streets, and the scorching sun was about to bake the ground, and it was soft to step on. Using the back of her hand to shield herself from the harsh sunlight, Momokusa struggled to distinguish between each passerby who appeared, the air she breathed was hot, and sweat soaked her back.
Every store, she went in and looked for it.
And each time, her hopes were dashed.
Standing in the scorching sun, Baicao's eyes bloomed for a while, where Ruobai went, why couldn't she find it.
******
Hospital.
End of the hallway.
In the shady corner, the wind blowing from north to south dissipated a little. Holding on to the railing, Tingyi looked at the garden downstairs, the elegant ink sundress fluttered in the wind, she was silent for a long time, and said:
"Brother Hatsuhara, you hurt me."
"Tingyi ......"
Hatsuhara's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he looked at her, and many words finally turned into one sentence.
"I'm sorry."
"Brother Hatsuhara, have you forgotten this ring?" The diamond flashed on Tingyi's fingers, "When my mother died, you promised me at her hospital bed that when you grow up, you will marry me as your bride." β
"I was only eight years old." Hatsuhara said.
"I was only five years old at the time, but I remember, I always remember," Tingyi said with a wry smile, "and I promised my mother that when I got married, I would wear this ring." So, I've been cherishing it, waiting for the day I get married to you, and you'll put it on for me with your own hands. β
The sun shines.
Diamonds reflect brilliance.
Although it was many, many years ago, Hatsuhara still remembered that day, Aunt Fang, who had always loved him, was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. Outside the ward, his mother tearfully told him that Aunt Fang was going to a far, far away place and would never come back, so she wanted Aunt Fang to go at ease.
β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ When you grow up, marry Xiaoting as your bride, okay? On the hospital bed, Aunt Fang gently held his hand.
"What is a bride?"
"The bride is ...... You will take good care of Xiaoting and always take care of Xiaoting...... Accompany her...... Don't let her cry...... Don't leave her alone......"
"Is it like this?" When he was a child, he didn't understand well. Every time Aunt Fang goes abroad to compete, Xiaoting will be sent to the Songbai Dao Hall, she is a very well-behaved child, she follows him all day long, watching him practice, and she doesn't make trouble at all.
"Well, like now."
"Okay, I'll marry Xiaoting as my bride," he nodded and said, "I'll take care of her, don't let her cry, don't let her be lonely." β
Lying on the snow-white pillow, Aunt Fang weakly took off a ring from her hand.
ββ¦β¦ Xiaoting, this is a wedding gift from your mother...... Remember, you are your mother's daughter, you will be a strong girl...... Don't cry, be happy......"
β¦β¦
Downstairs in the garden.
The wooden benches were empty.
Hatsuhara said:
"I'm sorry if I knew what the bride meant at the time......"
"You also said this to me," Tingyi said lightly, "It was when I was twelve years old, and you told me that you shouldn't set your future life because of childhood jokes." You said that I could like a lot of boys, and let me forget the agreement at that time. β
The wind blows the green vines climbing on the balcony.
"Do you remember how I answered you back then?" Tingyi looked at him sideways, "I said, I like you, it's because my mother knows that I like you, so I ask you to agree to marry me as a bride in the future." I like you, I'm going to marry you, I'm going to be your bride. Since you have agreed, you must marry me! β
Hatsuhara was silent.
Staring at him, Tingyi smiled faintly:
"There are a lot of girls who like you, and since you were in junior high school, you have received countless episodes, and there are even girls who openly pursue you and show you their love. But you never accepted it. You've allowed me to follow you, and I know that while you don't have that kind of liking for me, you're ready to keep your promises. β
"I'm sure you'll marry me......"
Holding the railing tightly, Tingyi took a deep breath and said:
"We've always gotten along well, and you don't hate me, do you? However, three years ago, Baicao came to the Songbai Gym, she was as silent as a piece of wood, you will actually like her! β
"What's so good about her!"
"She's not pretty, she's not smart, she's not likable, she's silent, and she's not my opponent at all in taekwondo, and she's not as good as me at all," Tingyi's chest rose and fell violently, "And three years ago, you actually mentioned it again because of her, making me forget that agreement!" β
Hatsuhara silently looked at the garden downstairs.
At the foot of the bench, there is a small green grass out of the soil, and from the lively grass tip, it seems that you can smell the delicate breath from such a distance.
"She was only fourteen years old at that time, how could you really like a fourteen-year-old girl," Tingyi took a deep breath and tried her best to restrain her emotions, "I beg you, leave her for a while, think about it carefully, and give me another chance." β
Grabbing Chu Yuan's arm tightly, Tingyi said astringently:
"For three years, as long as I have time, I will fly to the United States to accompany you. I hope you can forget her and come to your senses, Brother Chuyuan, the most suitable person for you is me, and the person who loves you the most is me, not her, not Qi Baicao! β
There was a wind blowing.
The rustling of green vines climbing on the balcony.
"Tingyi, you promised me." Hatsuhara said quietly, "If three years later, I find that I still like her, and I really like her, you can give up the promise of childhood." β
Tingyi's face turned pale.
"I'm sorry," Hatsuhara was silent for a moment, "Tingyi, I like her." β
ββ¦β¦β
Tingyi stiffened, and she grabbed his arm tightly.
The wind blew in gusts.
"Hatsuhara, your phone!"
Dr. Yao's shouts came from the hospital corridor.
"I'm sorry."
Taking Tingyi's hand away from her arm, Hatsuhara nodded to her and turned to leave.
"I regret it!"
Tingyi gritted her teeth, she straightened her neck, and her beautiful ink skirt was blown by the wind. Looking at his back, she said in a dumb voice:
"Brother Hatsuhara, since you personally promised to marry me as a bride, you can not count it, then, of course, I can also regret it! I don't want to cancel the agreement, I want you to marry me, I want to have an engagement ceremony right away! β
******
Night is getting dark.
Streets, shops, and places where she and Ruobai had walked, Baicao searched over and over again. The night market food stalls, strings of light bulbs lit up, business was booming in front of each stall, the air was humid and stuffy, sweat soaked clothes, she walked quickly, her eyes anxiously searched for every figure.
No.
Or not.
Nowhere is it......
The night is getting darker.
Hyakusa silently returned to the Songbai Gym.
When she opened the door, it was pitch black, and she washed her face in front of the basin without turning on the light. There was a faint moonlight outside the window, and the wind blew in, but the air was still hot and humid, she stood silently in a daze, and suddenly, she felt that something was wrong, and quickly turned her head to look-
on the bed.
Xiao Ying sat like a stone sculpture.
"Xiao Ying!"
Baicao hurried to turn on the light.
The light came on, and the room was bright. Xiao Ying squinted her eyes, covered them with the back of her hand, and shook her body, and Baicao smelled a smell of wine.
"You've been drinking?"
Baicao asked anxiously, seeing that Xiaoying was not used to the light, he hurriedly went to turn off the headlights and replace them with soft table lamps. Wringing a towel, Baicao supported the drunken Xiaoying, bent down and carefully wiped her face, and said nervously:
"Where did you go for a drink? Why go drinking? Was it forced by anyone? Is there anything wrong with it? β
"Go away!"
Xiaoying pushed her away vigorously, her face flushed, and her eyes stared at her without focus:
"I ...... I'm just drinking, how's that! I love to drink! I'm willing to drink! Why can you get drunk, I can't get drunk! If you're drunk, let Senior Brother Hatsuhara hug you, haha, why can't I get drunk! I'm going to get drunk too, and I'm going to find Senior Brother Hatsuhara too! β
"Xiao Ying!"
Not allowing himself to care about Xiaoying's words, Baicao stepped forward to support her again, trying to help her lie down. The drunkenness was not pleasant, and she had a headache that was about to crack last night.
"Are you thirsty? I'm going to pour you a glass of water. β
"I told you to go away!"
Xiaoying viciously waved her arm away and shouted at her angrily:
"Qi Baicao! I'm telling you! I'm going to break up with you! I don't recognize you as my friend anymore! Get out of here! Stay away from me! β
"Xiaoying......"
Pushed by her and almost fell, Baicao looked at Xiaoying with a pale face.
"Qi Baicao! What Tingyi said is true, right! Xiaoying staggered to her feet, swaying her body to close in on her, glaring at her, shouting, "You've been pretending all the time!" Actually, you're a bad person! Right! Haha, when I was a child, in addition to Senior Brother Hatsuhara, I admired Sister Tingyi the most, but for you, I began to hate Tingyi! β
"I like you, Baicao! I've done so much for you! Because you're my good friend! I can do anything for you! But...... But...... You lied to me! β
"Xiaoying......"
The eardrums roared, and Baicao's body was cold for a while.
"You have so many bad intentions! You take advantage of Senior Brother Wakabai! Seduce Ting Hao's seniors! Never mind! You're a good friend of mine! Even if you have any shortcomings, I'll stand up for you! I'm still going to support you! However, why do you still want to provoke Senior Brother Hatsuhara! β
Grabbing her shoulders and shaking her vigorously, Xiaoying suddenly cried loudly, she cried hoarsely, and tears spread all over her face.
"Don't you know! I like Brother Hatsuhara! I've been ...... since I was a kid I've liked Senior Brother Hatsuhara since I was a child! Crying so much that her whole body was trembling, Xiaoying shook her shoulders angrily, "Why are you going to provoke Senior Brother Hatsuhara!" Isn't it enough for you to have Senior Brother Ruobai? I hate you! Herbs! I hate you! I shouldn't have brought you into the Songbai Gym in the first place! β
ββ¦β¦β
The heart was pierced by something, and she shook it vigorously, and Baicao's face was pale, and she was so cold that she wanted to shrink. It's not the first time she's been hated, since she was a child, there are many people who hate her, but, why, she hurts...... It hurts......
"What's on your face!"
Drunken and wide-eyed, Xiao Ying shook and leaned into her face, reached out to touch it, looked at it hard, and suddenly laughed:
"You're crying! Qi Baicao, aren't you a wooden man! You're crying! Why are you crying! Haha, say, why are you crying! I should be crying, isn't it?! My best friend, snatched my favorite boy! I'm supposed to be crying! β

Hospital.
Tranquil corridors.
At the end of the round, many patients had fallen asleep, and Hatsuhara walked back to the doctor's duty room. There was an envelope in his pocket, bulging thickly, and his fingers touched it, frowning.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Your money."
On the terrace, Tingyi handed him an envelope with a thick stack of new banknotes. Puzzled, he asked:
"What is this?"
"Baicao gave me the money for last night's dinner," Tingyi seemed to have calmed down, "Of course I have to return the part you gave me for her." β
"You ......," he sighed silently, "how can you accept her money when you know her financial situation?" β
"Why not?"
Tingyi smiled slightly.
"It was a party in my name and her, and it was only natural that she should bear half of the cost."
"It's not fair for her to choose such an expensive hotel, which is far beyond the average person's affordability." He frowned.
"Fair?"
Tingyi smiled again.
"There is no fairness in this world. I've liked you for so many years, and she's going to take you away for some reason, is it fair? You're my boyfriend, but you insist on paying for her, is it fair to me? Hehe, she is as humble as a weed, but she wants to compete with me, and I want her to show her what fairness is! β
"Tingyi ......"
"Don't worry, I'll protect her pride, and I won't let her know that you've paid for her party." Tingyi's eyes were cold, but her smile was unusually gentle, "I won't tell her all the things you've done for her." β
He looked at her silently.
"Brother Hatsuhara, if you want to stay by your side, you have to become unscrupulous......" Tingyi straightened her neck and said with dark eyes, "I will." I'll get rid of her. I'm not afraid you'll hate me, because you've forced me to be like this. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The phone vibrated suddenly.
In the corridor, Hatsuhara closed his eyes, stabilized his mind, connected his mobile phone, and a hurried voice came from his ears: "Hatsuhara, I just found out the names of the patients you asked me to check!" This morning, our hospital received a new ......"
******
A faint moonlight poured in through the window.
Xiaoying sat down on the ground crying, waving her arms, and Baicao couldn't hear her crying clearly. Baicao struggled to help Xiaoying onto the bed, made her lie down with a little force, rewrung a towel, and carefully wiped the tears and sweat from her face for her.
"Let go of me!"
Lying on the pillow, Xiaoying struggled, drunkenly pushing and shoving the herbs. Suddenly, her face changed, and she suddenly fell to the side of the bedβ
"Wow-"
Xiaoying turned over the river and vomited in Haiti.
The room was filled with the sour smell of filth, and Baicao nervously patted Xiaoying's back until she vomited all and helped her lie back on the pillow. Brought warm water to rinse her mouth, helped her wipe the tears and sweat stains on her face again, and cleaned the floor with a hundred herbs to make the air fresh again.
When I returned to Xiaoying's bedside.
She froze.
Xiaoying didn't fall asleep, but was staring blankly at the ceiling. Hearing her footsteps, Xiaoying turned her head on the pillow in a daze and looked at her.
"Herb ......"
Muttering, Xiao Ying looked at her with a pale face.
ββ¦β¦ You're drunk, get a good night's sleep. Whispering, Baicao pulled the cool quilt over and gently put it on Xiaoying's body.
"I just ...... Isn't it ...... "I had a splitting headache, but fear made Xiaoying's eyes wide," ...... Didn't you say a lot of terrible things......"
Dumbfounded.
Baicao shook his head: "No." β
"Don't lie to me, oops," Xiao Ying closed her eyes in pain, holding her head in severe pain, "I remember, I just said something very excessive...... I'm sorry...... Baicao, those words are not what I really want to say...... You've forgotten if it's good or not......"
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
The eyelashes were tightly closed, Xiao Ying lay pale and pale as she was silent for a long time, and tears suddenly flowed quietly again.
"Baicao, you lied to me again......"
"I know, you can't forget what I said...... Because what I said was really excessive...... Herb ...... You just cried, didn't you......"
"I've never seen you cry......"
"You seem to be in no matter what the situation...... I won't cry ......."
"But...... I just scolded you and cried......"
On the pillow, Xiaoying took a trembling breath, covered her already swollen eyes with the back of her hand, smiled reluctantly, and said, "...... It's a shame...... I've always hated the kind of guy who makes good friends turn against each other for the sake of a boy...... But how could I say such a vicious thing to you......"
"Xiaoying."
Looking at Xiaoying, who couldn't stop crying, Baicao froze all over, she gently stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Xiaoying, however, she didn't dare, and her fingers curled back.
"I'm sorry...... I don't know ......."
Xiaoying was right, Baicao thought blankly, with a dull pain in her heart. She is not worthy of being Xiaoying's good friend, Xiaoying likes Hatsuhara, she will not be aware of it.
It was she who hurt Xiaoying.
Xiaoying said that she had never seen her cry. How could she have seen Xiaoying cry? It was she who made Xiaoying cry so sadly......
"No, it's not your fault." Putting down the hand covering her eyes, Xiaoying sniffed and said embarrassedly, "Look, you're a wooden man, and you've been a lot slower than you can do about these things." I've never told you, how do you know that I like Brother Hatsuhara? β
Baicao looked at her.
"Me," Xiao Ying smiled, looked at the ceiling and said, "I'm actually quite similar to Chu Wei, she likes taekwondo because of Ting Hao's seniors, and I'm because of Senior Brother Chu Yuan." β
"Brother Hatsuhara is so nice and patient with everyone, and he even bought me ice cream to eat. When I was a child, I got into trouble, and my mother chased and beat me all over the gym, and as long as I escaped behind Senior Brother Hatsuhara, Senior Brother Hatsuhara would protect me. Sometimes, I secretly follow behind Senior Brother Hatsuhara and Sister Tingyi, Sister Tingyi doesn't like me to follow, and Senior Brother Hatsuhara will also take me to play together. β
"Later, Senior Brother Hatsuhara became more and more handsome as he grew older, no, not handsome, but tall, handsome, and picturesque, just like a fairy boy in mythology, with the light of pearls, more beautiful than the beautiful boy in the comic book I was most obsessed with."
"I like Senior Brother Hatsuhara......"
Xiaoying smiled bitterly.
But I didn't dare tell him. Because I know he won't like me, he likes girls like Tingyi, beautiful, gentle, generous, and excellent, how could he like me like a wild girl, crazy all day long, lazy and not beautiful......"
Baicao listened silently.
"So, it's really unreasonable for me to be angry with you." Xiao Ying smiled bitterly and slowly closed her eyes, "Senior Brother Chu Yuan likes you, I should be happy...... He can be with you...... Can I be with you...... I'm very happy too......"
Muttering to himself, tiredness muffled Xiaoying's voice:
"Am I wrong...... Why would I think ...... Senior Brother Hatsuhara will definitely like Tingyi......"
If......
If she ever mustered up the courage......
If......
The moonlight is quiet.
Xiaoying fell into a deep sleep, tears still on her face, and she rolled to the side, sleeping like a child. Covering her with a cool quilt, Baicao sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, her mind was blank, unable to think, a series of things, her body seemed to be pressed by the gravity of Qianjun, and she couldn't breathe.
For a long time.
Under the row of poplar trees outside the window, a faint shadow appeared in the moonlight, and Baicao stared blankly, the shadow had been standing there, she looked at it, and gradually widened her eyesβ
She got up!
Rushing over to open the door, she rushed towards the shadowβ
"Baicao, Hatsuhara's call!" Aunt Fan's voice shouted from the next room, "What is it, find Ruobai......"
No!
She doesn't have to answer the phone anymore!
In the moonlight, the grass rushed towards the poplar trees! She saw it, she already saw it! Under the shadow of the tree, the figure standing faintly, the wind whistling in her ears, the blood all over her body rushed to her eardrums, she rushed over, and hugged the figure with all her strength!
