Bai Jinyan looked at the diary in his hand and remained silent.
The pensive look seems to be deliberating.
Qiao Huaiyao immediately said, "Don't try to be perfunctory."
He pursed his lips slightly and asked, "Is it related to Aunt Meng?"
"It's not your intention to alienate me, right?" Qiao Huaiyao felt very confused, but at this moment, all the things related to this matter were connected together, but it became clearer in the messy thoughts.
"Are you..." Qiao Huaiyao's voice paused, and his tone was difficult when he spoke, "Do you like..."
The voice gradually disappeared, but it was hard to say those few words right on the lips.
Even if he already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't listen to Bai Jinyan to admit it himself, he would inevitably be timid when he spoke.
Qiao Huaiyao wanted to know the answer urgently, but was afraid that the answer would be the same as what he had guessed.
When he put his hand on the door named truth, Qiao Huaiyao didn't have the courage to push it open for a while.
"Have."
The falling voice seemed to be knocking on his ears, Qiao Huaiyao raised his eyes suddenly, and saw Bai Jinyan saying seriously and firmly: "From before to now, it has always been there."
The layer of water vapor in the bottom of the eyes spread and condensed silently, and tears fell from the end of the eyes.
Qiao Huaiyao closed her eyes, letting the tears run down her cheeks, her lips were tightly pursed into a line.
He stepped forward to hug Bai Jinyan and buried his head in his arms.
"You should have..." Qiao Huaiyao spoke, his voice was hoarse and choked with sobs, his throat was so astringent that he couldn't speak.
You should have told me earlier.
I should have known.
Bai Jinyan put his arms around his waist and patted his back, his eyelids drooped slightly to cover his eyes, comforting him silently.
Qiao Huaiyao cried softly, as if expressing the grievances that he missed in his previous life, "Why didn't you tell me."
Bai Jinyan slowly tightened his arms, letting his tears wet his shirt.
"Stop crying." He paused and comforted softly, "Good boy."
Seeing Qiao Huaiyao ignore him, Bai Jinyan admitted his mistake and apologized, "Brother is wrong. Can you stop crying?"
Qiao Huaiyao buried her head in Bai Jinyan's arms and shook her head, just crying and ignoring him.
What Qiao Huaiyao was sad about was not this, but the two people who obviously cared about each other and liked each other...but they had missed each other for so long.
Bai Jinyan patted him on the back and coaxed him, "It's all right."
He was talking in Qiao Huaiyao's ear, and he didn't know if Qiao Huaiyao listened.
But the voice didn't stop, and he stood with Qiao Huaiyao in the corridor for a long time.
…
I do not know how long it has been.
Sensing the change in the person in his arms, Bai Jinyan slowed down and said, "Okay, stop crying. Or your eyes will hurt tomorrow."
Bai Jinyan saw that he still didn't speak, and said, "I still have to go to the award ceremony, what should I do if my eyes are swollen from crying?"
Qiao Huaiyao said sullenly, "I'm just sitting in the audience as an audience, so it doesn't matter."
Bai Jinyan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, "Let's go back to the room first."
Qiao Huaiyao nodded lightly, and was about to take half a step back, but he stood there for a long time, and his figure would sway even if he made a slight movement.
He raised his hand to support Bai Jinyan's arm, trying to stabilize his figure.
Seeing this, Bai Jinyan put his arms around his waist, wrapped his arms around his knees, and hugged Qiao Huaiyao horizontally.
The moment she lost her center of gravity, Qiao Huaiyao suddenly opened her eyes wide, and subconsciously wrapped her arms around Bai Jinyan's neck.
Qiao Huaiyao couldn't help curling her fingertips, "Brother..."
"Yeah." Bai Jinyan said calmly, "Hold tight."
Being hugged like this, Qiao Huaiyao was already half leaning in his arms, his face became hotter and hotter.
The ear was pressed against his heart impartially, and the heartbeat sounded 'thumping'. Bai Jinyan was far less calm than he appeared on the face.
Bai Jinyan carried Qiao Huaiyao back to the bedroom, put him on the bed, turned around and was about to leave.
Qiao Huaiyao was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, his hands had already grabbed the edge of his shirt.
Seeing Bai Jinyan look back, Qiao Huaiyao's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his eyes to avoid his gaze, but he didn't let go of his hands, "That..."
Seeing this, Bai Jinyan understood what he hadn't said in an instant, "I'll go to the bathroom to get something, one minute."
Qiao Huaiyao moved her fingertips slightly, and slowly let go of her hand when she heard the words, and said softly, "En."
The bathroom door was left open, and the sound of water from inside became the only sound in the quiet room.
Qiao Huaiyao was still holding the diary in his hand, and unconsciously tapped on the diary with his fingertips.
He thought for a while, and instead of returning the diary to his owner, he put it in the drawer of his bedside table.
As soon as the drawer was closed, Bai Jinyan walked over.
He squatted in front of Qiao Huaiyao and said, "Close your eyes."
"What is this?" While speaking, Qiao Huaiyao had already closed his eyes.
The steaming towel approached, and the warmth was transpiring.
"Press your eyes." Bai Jinyan soaked the towel in hot water, wrung out the water, folded it up and took it out.
If you don't apply heat, your eyes may hurt when you wake up tomorrow. Not the unbearable kind, but it can be uncomfortable.
Qiao Huaiyao raised his hand to hold Bai Jinyan's wrist, "Brother..."
The trembling eyelashes were hidden under the towel, which largely suppressed the little tension.
He whispered: "What happened back then, can you tell me all about it?"
Bai Jinyan paused.
"Brother?" Qiao Huaiyao tentatively lifted the edge of the folded towel and looked down.
There were too many things, Bai Jinyan didn't know how to speak, and when he met Qiao Huaiyao's eyes, his heart tightened.
After the silence, he spoke, as if sorting out his thoughts.
Bai Jinyan said in a deep voice: "Actually, it's nothing, you should have already guessed it."
Qiao Huaiyao stared at Bai Jinyan intently, but did not answer, silently waiting for his next words.
He guessed one-sidedly, and still wanted to hear Bai Jinyan tell him in person.
Bai Jinyan took Qiao Huaiyao's hand away from the towel and said casually, "A few days before the college entrance examination, my mother saw that diary."
The tone was indifferent, as if talking about an unimportant matter.
Qiao Huaiyao's breath stopped. He guessed that Aunt Meng knew about the existence of the diary, but he didn't think it was before the college entrance examination.
The hand on his wrist was a little loose, and Bai Jinyan took his hand instead, took it down, and continued to apply a warm towel to his eyes.
"In her heart, I was cultivated by her, and I was born for the entertainment industry. Love and relationship will break this perfect setting, so she was very emotional at the time."
"I'm used to her ups and downs, but she may have realized something. In order to keep this perfection, she..." Bai Jinyan paused, and explained to Qiao Huaiyao in a more euphemistic way, "She used Something is threatening me."
Bai Jinyan avoided talking about it, and Qiao Huaiyao was able to confirm it quickly, "Is it about me?"
The voice of speaking disappeared, and Bai Jinyan did not deny it.
"She is an elder, and in this capacity, she will tell you about the diary." During this period, one can imagine how much pressure Qiao Huaiyao had to bear.
Moreover, the relationship was broken up as an elder, and then it was added to the Internet.
After all, Meng Zheng is a public figure, and Bai Jinyan is also very popular in the industry. Once this kind of thing is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.
It's easy to start with a person's reputation.
There is a high probability that Meng Zheng will not do anything with Bai Jinyan, but will only blindly discredit him.
but…
Qiao Huaiyao said lightly, "I don't care about these things."
Knowing that what his brother said to him was embellished, it is not difficult to guess Aunt Meng's original intention.
"I care." Bai Jinyan said lightly, "With your knowledge and ability, your future should be bright."
"I don't want my relationship to be a drag on you. I don't want you to grow up under the abuse of others."
Bai Jinyan was very clear about what he wanted from the beginning to the end. He liked Qiao Huaiyao, but if this liking would hurt Qiao Huaiyao, he would hide this liking and not let anyone know.
The college entrance examination is approaching, and all eyes are on Qiao Huaiyao.
What Qiao Huaiyao learned touched the cakes of many people, and the crucial experimental data has not yet come out.
At this time, even the slightest turmoil may be magnified infinitely by those with evil intentions.
All he could do was to calm the matter down quickly.
Let Qiao Huaiyao finish the exam safely, wait for him to enter Tsinghua University smoothly, and wait for everything to settle.
For Qiao Huaiyao, the results of the college entrance examination are not linked to the school.
But Bai Jinyan did not allow Qiao Huaiyao to have unsatisfactory results because of him.
With such a good Huaiyao, his life should go smoothly.
The moisture in front of Qiao Huaiyao's eyes blurred his vision, and he was so sad that he couldn't speak because of the colic in his heart.
He couldn't imagine what kind of state of mind Bai Jinyan felt when he was alienated from him at the beginning. He secretly accompanied and took care of him for so many years, but never appeared in front of him. What kind of mood was Bai Jinyan at that time.
"Then you..." Qiao Huaiyao pursed her lips, and closed her eyes when the towel covered her, "Are you planning to never appear in front of me again like this?"
The towel wiped away his tears, and Bai Jinyan explained: "I thought at the time, after I settle these things, I will go to you as soon as possible."
After a pause, he said, "I didn't expect you to come back so soon."
Following Qiao Huaiyao to the school that sent him to the same plane, he watched him enter the school gate before leaving.
But when he came home late at night, he found Qiao Huaiyao, who was supposed to be at school, in front of his house.
"Then have you solved it now?" As soon as the words came out, Qiao Huaiyao realized that he hadn't solved it, otherwise, why would he use his mobile phone to blackmail Meng Zheng.
Qiao Huaiyao blinked lightly, "I came back at that time, but you didn't drive me away."
Bai Jinyan put down the towel, rubbed his head and said, "You were like that, how dare I say anything?"
He only dared to be silent and distant, unable to even say a serious sentence.
When we meet, we can only follow along.
"Well..." Qiao Huaiyao narrowed his eyes, "Then you are not afraid of what Aunt Meng will do...?"
Bai Jinyan said that since he wanted to protect Qiao Huaiyao, he would naturally prepare everything in advance, "The signal on the island is not good, she rests up there and doesn't care much about the outside world."
He used his contacts to send out information. As long as the news reached Meng Zheng, it could be suppressed for a while without Qiao Huaiyao's presence.
There was a mistake on his birthday, which was indeed unexpected.
And the diary in the file box, he never thought that Qiao Huaiyao would take the wrong box.
"You have a good rest and sleep, don't take these things to heart." Bai Jinyan put down the towel and got up and said, "I won't let her affect you."
Everything is up to him.
Qiao Huaiyao just needs to finish his studies in peace and stability, and shouldn't be disturbed by such messy things.
Qiao Huaiyao looked up at him, and said softly, "Aunt Meng can't influence me."
After graduating in his previous life, he directly entered a world-class research laboratory jointly established by many countries.
He clearly remembered all the details of the data that came out of his hands.
The research cycle can be greatly shortened, and some hidden substances can be released as soon as possible.
How could Meng Zheng affect him on world level matters.
At that time, let alone a public opinion war, how many people dare to release negative news around him
What's more, when it comes to emotional matters, it's not up to others to point fingers.
Falling in love does not hinder doing research.
They've missed it for so long.
Qiao Huaiyao didn't want anything to become an obstacle between them.
"Brother." Qiao Huaiyao got up and stood by the bed, glanced at the necklace around Bai Jinyan's neck, "Didn't you ask me what the secret of the necklace is?"
"Um?"
Qiao Huaiyao picked up the necklace with his fingertips, and there was still body heat on the special material, "I have worn this necklace since I was a child, and I took it off twice except for daily maintenance."
Qiao Huaiyao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked, "What do you think the purpose of taking off this necklace for the first time?"
It is difficult to come up with an answer to endless questions.
Bai Jinyan answered solemnly: "A talisman? The one that brings peace?"
"No." Qiao Huaiyuan bent his eyes, approached his ear, and said softly, "It's for confession."
It was supposed to be given to you a long time ago, but it was delayed for so long by accident.
But fortunately, after going around, this necklace is still exercising its original purpose.
Bai Jinyan was stunned suddenly, Qiao Huaiyao let go of his hands, and the necklace that fell back to the neckline was full of warmth.
The warm breath in his ear disturbed his thoughts.
As indifferent as Bai Jinyan said, when he heard these words, he didn't know what to do for a while.
Before Bai Jinyan came back to his senses, Qiao Huaiyao tilted his head and looked at him, "You didn't refuse when I put the necklace on you, which means that you have agreed to my confession, so..."
Qiao Huai approached with a smile, and kissed him lightly on the lips, the soft touch was fleeting.
He said, "Good night, boyfriend."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Bai Jinyan's reaction, Qiao Huaiyao walked out of the room and closed the door by the way.
The movements are smooth and flowing, without any slowness.
The door 'clicked'.
Qiao Huaiyao leaned back against the door panel, her face was filled with warmth, and the backs of her ears were already flushed.
The words...he literally said them.
After the impulse, the brain went blank.
Qiao Huaiyao's heart was pounding, and he was at a loss for what to do with the nervousness that he realized.
He, he kissed...
At that time, he didn't dare to look at Bai Jinyan's expression.
The fingertips slowly approached and touched the lower lip, as if it was still warm.
Qiao Huaiyao pursed his lips slightly, and quickly withdrew his hands the next moment, putting them behind his back.
Necklaces are taken.
Just to agree.
... I should probably agree.
Qiao Huaiyao ran out to try to calm down, but no matter what, standing here was just replaying the scene just now infinitely in his mind.
It was obviously just a touching kiss, but it occupied all his thoughts.
'Boom boom'
There was a knock on the door behind him, and Qiao Huaiyao suddenly gasped.
Subconsciously, she turned her back against the wall and gave way to the door.
The door seemed to be opened inward, and when Bai Jinyan came out, he saw Qiao Huaiyao standing by the door.
Bai Jinyan chuckled, "This is your room, why are you running?"
Remember to close the door after you run away.
Qiao Huaiyao's face turned even redder immediately. He glanced at the door and quickly looked away, "I, I..."
The more anxious and chaotic he became, the more he stumbled and couldn't speak.
Qiao Huaiyao settled down and lowered her head not daring to look at him, "Then go to bed early... bro."
With that said, he buried his head and was about to go around Bai Jinyan and go back to the room.
But the arm lying in front of him blocked the way.
Qiao Huaiyao paused, and Bai Jinyan stepped forward.
He retreated subconsciously, his shoulders immediately touched the wall, and there was no way to retreat.
Bai Jinyan lowered his head and approached him, trapping him between himself and the wall, "Isn't the kiss just now quite confident?"
Qiao Huaiyao said in a panic, "No, can't we kiss?"
When Bai Jinyan was asked such a rhetorical question, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
With the breath of a chuckle close to his ears, Qiao Huaiyao shrank down with a blushing face.
I can't help but ask myself in my heart, what strange words are I talking about.
Bai Jin said: "Yes."
Qiao Huaiyao raised his eyes suddenly, subconsciously said: "What?"
"You can kiss."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jinyan leaned over and kissed his lips.
"Well!"
