On the third floor of the canteen, Ji Bai and Li Ruikai Jiangnan, the three of them sat around the dining table to eat.

"What?! Bai, I heard you right, you said you like Lin Qiqi? ”

Li Ruikai had just heard Ji Bai say that he liked Lin Qiqi, and the chicken leg in his hand was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.

Ji Bai looked at Jiang Nan and Li Ruikai, who had the same surprised expressions in front of him, and said seriously with a smile: "You heard it right, I'm very sure that I like Lin Qiqi, and I want to pursue her!"

"Shiro, are you sure you're not on the spur of the moment? I advise you to think clearly before making a decision. Don't you think Lin Qiqi is terrible? It's been hidden since high school, and now it's suddenly the number one in the school! Originally, she was beautiful, and it was not her fault, but she was so beautiful that people couldn't notice her existence. Don't you think that's scary?! ”

"Qiqi's hidden strength has her own difficulties. Others have never discovered Qiqi's beauty because she is low-key. ”

"Bai, can we not be so impulsive, first observe her Lin Qiqi and then it's not too late to chase her."

After Li Ruikai finished speaking, he hurriedly slapped Jiang Nan with his elbow, hoping that Jiang Nan could persuade Ji Bai together.

Jiang Nan glanced at Li Ruikai, then looked at Ji Bai, and said very seriously: "Brother Bai, if I say that I also like Qiqi, will you ignore me?"

After listening to Jiang Nan, Li Ruikai didn't hold back directly, and a mouthful of rice sprayed Jiang Nan's face.

"Jiangnan, Ji Bai, you guys? You guys! Are you stunned?! ”

"Anan, are you serious?" Ji Bai asked.

Jiang Nan looked at Ji Bai and nodded firmly.

"It's over, it's over, are my two good brothers being tricked by a woman at the same time?" Li Ruikai looked at the two people in front of him and almost said to himself.

"Brother Bai, your conditions are so good, you will definitely be able to find a better girl than Qiqi," Jiang Nan said.

"Anan, Qiqi is the first girl I like in the past eighteen years, I can't give up on her, let's play fair."

Jiang Nan knew that he was inferior to Ji Bai in all aspects, but at this moment he could only agree to Ji Bai's proposal for fair competition.

Li Ruikai didn't want to talk anymore, and quietly pulled the food in the bowl, thinking: Is this Lin Qiqi's charm really so great, isn't it just a little more beautiful and a little better grades! Why did you fall in love with your two brothers at the same time?

Lin Qiqi returned to the dormitory and turned on his mobile phone, only to find the WeChat message that Ji Bai sent to him. Lin Qiqi opened Ji Bai's WeChat avatar at seven o'clock, looked at the smiling bright face, and was stunned for a long time, and then chose to delete Ji Bai as a WeChat friend.

If it's not your own, you can't worry about it even if you like it, and the same goes for people you like.

In order not to let himself have any more illusions, Lin Qiqi chose to cut off all contact with Ji Bai.

Lin Qiqi didn't believe that he really had such a great charm, just by appearing in front of Jiang Nan, he could make him like him. She wants to create some opportunities to contact Jiang Nan more, and becoming his tablemate is the first step.

During recess

"Jiang Nan, I don't have much of a clue about this question for a while, can you help me take a look?" Lin Qiqi took a question and asked Jiang Nan at the same table.

Lin Qiqi didn't know how to please men, so he could only learn from other girls to talk under the pretext of asking questions.

Jiang Nan looked at the moving Lin Qiqi, a little nervous for a while, and his face was flushed. didn't think about what question could stump Lin Qiqi, who was the first in the school, but quickly lowered his head to look at the question. Then he explained it to Lin Qiqi in a particularly detailed and gentle voice.

Lin Qiqi looked at Jiangnan with admiration, like a serious and teachable child. In the face of such Lin Qiqi, Jiang Nan had a little satisfaction and was more confident.

When Lin Qiqi invited Jiang Nan to dinner again, Jiang Nan agreed without hesitation, and did not think about bringing Ji Bai and Li Ruikai again.

Li Ruikai looked at the backs of Jiang Nan and Lin Qiqi, who were going away together, and patted Ji Bai's shoulder, who was standing silently next to him, and comforted: "Bai, it's okay to give it to Jiang Nan this time, why hurt our brotherhood for a woman."

Ji Bai looked at Li Ruikai, smiled bitterly and didn't speak.

Although he had agreed with Jiangnan to compete fairly, seeing that his WeChat was deleted, and watching Jiangnan and Lin Qiqi go in and out, Ji Bai had to admit that he panicked.

Ji Bai thought in his heart, he had to quickly find an opportunity to express his mind to Lin Qiqi.

At this moment, Ji Bai was very sure that he didn't make such a decision on impulse.

Another holiday

When night fell, there were few pedestrians in sight on the street in front of Lin Qiqi's grandmother's bookstore. There shouldn't be anyone who will come to buy books today, Lin Qiqi thought to himself, and was about to finish his daily inventory and close the store and go home.

With a squeak, the door to the bookstore was pushed open.

Lin Qiqi turned his head and was about to say welcome, but saw Ji Bai in a blue tracksuit standing at the door, looking at him affectionately.

Lin Qiqi met Ji Bai's scorching gaze, fell silent, and froze in place, looking at Ji Bai for a long time.

If only he could live forever in Ji Bai's scorching gaze.

When Lin Qiqi thought of this, he couldn't help but start scolding himself in his heart, ashamed of his idea.

"Why are you here so late?"

Lin Qiqi quickly pulled himself back from fantasy to reality, and asked Ji Bai in a light tone.

Ji Bai walked in front of Lin Qiqi in two or three steps, still looking at Lin Qiqi with burning eyes and said, "Today, I came to you specially. ”

"What's the matter?"

Lin Qiqi had a hunch, but he still pretended to ask Ji Bai plainly.

The next second after Lin Qiqi finished speaking, Ji Bai knocked Lin Qiqi on the bookshelf.

Ji Bai's cheeks were slightly red, and there seemed to be a thin sweat on his forehead, he looked at Lin Qiqi seriously and affectionately and said, "Qiqi, I like you, is it okay to be my girlfriend?" ”

Without waiting for Lin Qiqi to answer, Ji Bai leaned over and covered Lin Qiqi's cherry lips with his lips.

Lin Qiqi was still silent in the joy that Ji Bai said that he liked himself. For a while, the brain circuit couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his heart, and his hands unconsciously wrapped around Ji Bai's waist, and his lips began to respond to Ji Bai's kiss.

After receiving Lin Qiqi's response, Ji Bai was very happy, and instantly felt that he was the happiest man in the world, and hugged Lin Qiqi tightly and kissed him more affectionately.

Suddenly, Lin Qiqi pushed Ji Bai away and gave Ji Bai a slap.

The air freezes instantly.

Lin Qiqi looked at Ji Bai's slightly flushed right cheek, heartache and regret that it was difficult to add, I really hoped that the slap just now was on his face.

"I'm sorry, I don't like you."

Lin Qiqi tried hard to make himself look good, and said ruthlessly and indifferently.

Since agreeing to cooperate with Jiang Fengming, and knowing that Jiang Nan is Ji Bai's best brother, Lin Qiqi told himself that he couldn't use Ji Bai's good brother Jiang Nan while calmly accepting Ji Bai's love.

Although Lin Qiqi knew that he had fallen in love with Ji Bai at this time. But her reason told herself that even if she liked it, she had to let herself die to Ji Bai, and let Ji Bai die to herself.

Ji Bai took a few steps forward and wanted to hug Lin Qiqi again, but Lin Qiqi quickly took a few steps back, making Ji Bai pounce.

"What was that kiss just now?!"

Ji Bai looked at Lin Qiqi, his eyes were bloodshot, and tears were rolling in his eyes. Ji Bai, who is 180 years tall, does not have a trace of his former handsomeness and uprightness at this moment. The sad and pitiful appearance stung Lin Qiqi's heart.

"I'm sorry, I've already agreed to Jiangnan to be his girlfriend," Lin Qiqi said lightly.

After Lin Qiqi finished speaking, the air stopped circulating, and there was a dead silence around him.

Ji Bai looked at Lin Qiqi's eyes, her eyes were as calm as water, which made Ji Bai feel boundless chill and indifference.

Much later

"I see, I'm sorry for the abruptness today."

After Ji Bai finished speaking, the six masters left the bookstore in a daze and disappeared from Lin Qiqi's sight.

"It's always a step late, if I confessed to her earlier, then she should choose her own," Ji Bai said to himself.

Lin Qiqi looked at the direction in which Ji Bai disappeared, and made sure that Ji Bai had gone away, and finally couldn't help squatting down, hugging his knees and starting to cry bitterly.

Lin Qiqi didn't know how long he had been crying, he only knew that his head hurt very much, and the paper that wiped his nose and tears on the ground was piled up.

For the first time since my mother's disappearance, I cried so sadly, crying so without taboo, and like a child separated from my parents on the street, crying very helplessly.

"What, regret it?"

A voice suddenly came from behind Lin Qiqi.

Lin Qiqi turned around, only to see someone dressed in an expensive suit, but sitting cross-legged on the ground with his back against the bookshelf, as if he had been watching the play for a long time.

"Jiang Fengming, why are you here?"

Lin Qiqi quickly wiped away his tears and returned to his usual flat look.

"It's really distressing to look at your crying, but it's a pity that he didn't see this scene of your heartbreak. You said that if he turned back and saw you crying so sadly for him. Is he happy or distressed? Jiang Fengming looked at Lin Qiqi with a wicked smile and teased.

"That's a lot of nonsense, let's talk, what's the matter with me!?" Lin Qiqi asked.

"I just happened to be passing by, so I stopped by to warn you. Don't forget, the cooperation between us. ”

After Jiang Fengming finished speaking, he got up and walked to Lin Qiqi's side, took out a USB flash drive from his trouser pocket, put it in Lin Qiqi's hand, and left the bookstore directly.

Lin Qiqi inserted the USB flash drive into the computer, and the content of the USB flash drive was the conversation between Su Meixiang and Lin Qiangxiong. Sure enough, his mother's disappearance was not a simple disappearance, Lin Qiqi listened to it, and couldn't help but clench his fists with both hands, and his nails were embedded in the flesh.

Jiang Fengming walked out of the bookstore and got into the black car that had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time.

On the way back, Jiang Fengming's mind always lingered, and Lin Qiqi hugged his knees and cried bitterly. A little desire to protect was inexplicably quietly growing in Jiang Fengming's heart.
