In the middle of summer, the scorching sun shone on every inch of the land. Even though the weather was so hot that it made people dizzy, the children who were chasing under the sun were still in high spirits. Physical education was always much more interesting than those boring classes.
"Come on! We have a soccer lesson today.”Bai Weizhen looked listless.
"Eh? Teacher, that's a basketball!" The child innocently pointed at her and asked loudly.
"What? Wow! Oh my god!"
She cursed under her breath in embarrassment. Similar mishaps kept happening throughout the morning. In the slightest gap, the scene of her making love with Yin Qi last night would take the opportunity to replay in her mind, causing her to be in a daze and her behavior to be extremely abnormal.
"Then…let's change it to basketball!”Fortunately, the children were easy to deal with. With an order, they all rushed to the basketball court.
"That…when you shoot, your hand has to be at this angle…"
Do you love me? When she thought about how Yin Qi's eyes were filled with confidence and certainty when he asked this question, she was confused…
" Teacher, that looks like a dodgeball posture..." the child shouted again.
"What? Aiya! Wrong, wrong! It should be like this…"Oh my god! She was about to break down!
Just like that, she spent a messy morning.
At noon in the dining room, she finally had the chance to sit down and calm her chaotic thoughts.
Do I love him? This was the first thing she had to confirm, but after careful consideration, the answer was still no. She had only met Yin Qi twice and did not even have the most basic understanding. She didn't know his home address, phone number, occupation…Wait, occupation should be the boss of the underworld! Other than the fact that he was the leader of the underworld, she knew nothing about him. The answer was very simple. It was impossible for her to fall in love with someone she hated in such a short period of time. Alright, then the second question came. Since she didn't love him, why did she sleep with him? Moreover, she seemed to enjoy his teasing. Why?
Was he horny? No, no, no! She shook her head vigorously. With her well-developed motor nerves, she would not have such a problem. Then why? Why did she let that happen last night? Finished, finished! She couldn't answer. The only possible answer was that she was curious. But could he do such a taboo thing just because he was curious?
Bai Weizhen! Bai Weizhen, you're no longer a child. Where have you been studying? What's with your upbringing? Was he worthy of himself? Was he worthy of his aunt?
Heavens! She was really going crazy! She couldn't hide this kind of thing from her aunt. As long as she looked into her intimidating eyes, she would confess guiltily. It was over…She was really over…
"Hey!"
In the chaos, someone slammed the table heavily. She was so shocked that she almost jumped up. She stroked her pounding heart and nodded guiltily to admit her mistake when she saw that it was Xinya.
"I'm sorry, yesterday I…"
Before she could finish her sentence, Xinya pointed at her with one hand and sat opposite her with a mysterious smile." I know, I know…"
"You know about it?" No way! So resourceful?
"You're going on a date, right?"
How did Xinya know? Her cheeks immediately flushed red.
"Teacher Guan is not bad, right?" She asked with a dubious expression.
"Teacher Guan?" She was confused." It's not bad…"
"Quick, quick, quick! Tell me, how far did you go last night? Is there…that…"
Seeing the ambiguous look on Xinya's face, he knew that what she was thinking and what he was saying were two completely different things. He had scared her so much…
"You love-struck fool. I left early yesterday and didn't see him at all.”
"What? I thought he would ask you out after the concert, but he didn't…"
Oh... this guy... So Xinya didn't stay until the end of the concert!
Seeing Bai Weizhen's suspicious look, Xinya awkwardly defended herself,
"Um…after you left your seat, Teacher Li and the others suddenly suggested going to KTV, so I…"
" So that's how it is. He forgets his friends when he sees women. Mr. Li is handsome and single. He and Xinya hit it off very well. Every time they talk about him, Xinya would always look like she hated that they didn't meet before they got married."
"So you left the venue earlier than me last night?”
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry. Teacher Li is just that irresistible.”
"You! Be careful not to let your husband see you.”
"What's the matter? I'm just going to sing with my colleagues!”She shrugged her shoulders, looking indifferent.
"He treats you as a colleague, but what about you? He wished he could swallow her alive.”
"Hey, don't say that!" Xin Ya quickly changed the topic in embarrassment. "Then you didn't have a date with Teacher Guan yesterday. Where did you go? Your brother is looking for you!"
The mention of her brother reminded her of her aunt, and she became nervous.
"What do you think?"
"I said, come with me! I thought you might not go back tonight! I'm very kind!"
She heaved a sigh of relief. Xinya was right in her mistakes, and she had helped her a little.
"Why? You didn't go back last night?”
Xinya's casual question almost made her spit out a mouthful of rice. She hesitated guiltily."Um…that…"
Seeing her guilty look, Xinya, who was good at guessing, had some confidence.”She held her chin and looked interested." Speak! Who were you with yesterday?"
"No! A friend came to look for me at the last minute. Because we haven't seen each other for too long, we chatted until dawn.”She was not good at lying, so she looked up guiltily and stole a glance at Xinya's expression.
How could Xinya not tell that Bai Weizhen was lying? It was difficult for her to escape from her careful observation of that expression of trying to cover up the truth. However, she did not want to get to the bottom of it. It was inevitable that there were some things that needed to be hidden, so she stopped pursuing this topic.
"Let me tell you, I read my horoscope online for a week today. The higher-ups said that I would have an argument with someone close to me this week and told me to try to resolve it calmly. Let me guess! My husband and I are definitely going to have a big fight this Sunday, but then again, when do we not fight?”Although she looked helpless, she did not seem to care.
"Is that so?" Bai Weizhen replied casually," Then did you take a look at mine?”
"Yes! You will have good luck in love this week. The chances of meeting the right person are very high, and you may develop an unusual relationship. However, I advise you to be calm and practical when you're in love. Don't do anything that you'll regret..."
Xinya's seemingly unintentional words had caused a great shock in her heart. She was shocked, frightened, and at a loss. How could she be so accurate! Then what should she do in the future? Should she also refer to the instructions given by the weekly fortune? Oh... the feeling of being caught red-handed was really not good...
"What are you doing? Did you really have an unexpected encounter?”Xinya could not help but ask when she saw her absent-minded look.
"What? Nonsense, how is that possible…" Afraid that she would spill the beans if they continued talking, she hurriedly stood up." I'll go to the changing room to get the clothes back to you."”Then, he ran out of the restaurant as if he was running for his life.
The setting sun cast a long shadow on the stone sign with the name of the school. Bai Weizhen stood under the shadow holding her phone, looking dejected.
No one answered the phone at home, and Weifan's phone did not respond either. Yin Qi had picked her up last night. Because she was too late this morning, she did not go home and drive. Instead, Yin Qi sent her straight to school. He had wanted to ask Xinya for help, but who knew that she had no classes in the afternoon and was already wandering off somewhere.
And because of all day thinking and seemed exhausted Bai Weizhen, and don't want to squeeze the bus home, had to wait, expect WeiFan just by aunt strict discipline, should not run around.
Before the sun set in the west, it was still so impolitely giving off heat. Standing under the shadow of the stone tablet, she did not necessarily have much advantage. She had just taken a bath in the changing room and was now covered in sweat.
"Teacher Bai." A dark green car stopped beside her. The dark-colored window rolled down slowly and Guan Yongwen called out to her shyly.
"Ah! It's Teacher Guan." Strange, Teacher Guan never took the initiative to greet her. It was as if she was always the one who took the initiative. "Are you getting off work? See you tomorrow!" She was still smiling brightly as usual.
Guan Yongwen seemed to be hesitating and struggling with something. In the end, he asked uneasily,"You…you didn't drive today?"
"Yes, I am!"
There was another period of silence. He seemed very nervous, his hands tapping the steering wheel uneasily, as if he wanted to look at her but was too embarrassed to do so. "That…that…"
"What? What?" Because it was too soft, Bai Weizhen had to take a step closer.
This action seemed to have frightened him. She clearly saw his body unconsciously tremble in the chair, and then his face turned red.
"You, you…are you waiting for someone?" He looked at the steering wheel and asked with his head lowered.
"Not really. I called home but no one picked up. I wanted to wait a little longer and see if Brother would come home to answer the phone.”
"I'll send you off."
Bai Weizhen was stunned. Teacher Guan seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage to say this, so it seemed a little abrupt.
He seemed to have immediately noticed his own sudden change, so he hurriedly explained," I, I mean, if I can't see your brother, I can send you…" The voice behind her was already so soft that it could not be heard.
However, Bai Weizhen had already heard what he meant and was overjoyed! Initially, she was still considering whether she should spend money to take a taxi. Since Teacher Guan was so kind today, she would not stand on ceremony.
"Thanks!"
She quickly got into the car. The cool air blew against her face, making her feel refreshed. However, she saw that Guan Yongwen's face was covered in sweat.
"Are you very hot?"
"No, no…I'm fine…"
Bai Weizhen unreservedly picked up the tissue next to her seat to wipe her sweat and handed him one.
"Thank you!"
The car drove slowly like a snail on the crowded avenue.
Guan Yongwen kept his head down and stared straight ahead, as if he was deliberately avoiding eye contact with her.
Bai Weizhen, on the other hand, seemed very comfortable. It seemed that the traffic would be jammed all the way to the end. She and Guan Yongwen would have to stay in the car for a while. She could not stand the dull atmosphere the most, so she started chatting with him.
"Teacher Guan, did you like music since you were young?”
"Yes, I am."
"I've also had a soft spot for martial arts since I was young, and I've won awards in various domestic and international competitions!”When she talked about those glorious days, she had a smug look on her face.
"Me too! Ever since I was young, my mother took me everywhere to participate in competitions. I also won many awards!”
"I think so too. You play the piano so well…Do you know that? When I was young, I was forced to play the piano. However, in order to show that I really didn't like playing the piano, I took a wooden sword and smashed the piano when the adults weren't paying attention.”
"Oh?" Guan Yongwen raised his eyebrows and turned to ask her,""What happened after that?"
"Hah! After that, I was taught a lesson by my grandfather. However, from then on, they no longer forced me to practice the piano, and my goal was achieved. However, they were basically against practicing martial arts, but I had a way to secretly practice it. This was all thanks to my aunt turning a blind eye.”
"You seem to have the courage to resist something you don't like.”
"Indeed, no one can force me to do something I don't like.”
"I'm different. I've always been doing things that others like but don't necessarily like.”
"Eh?"
Guan Yongwen's fair face showed a hint of melancholy.
"Let's talk about the piano! " Actually, I hate playing the piano very much, and there were many times when I wanted to smash the piano, but I didn't dare to do it, and…I couldn't do it…" There was a short silence in the car.
Was that so? A person who played the piano so well that he was almost at the acme of perfection actually said that he did not like the piano. This was really a little unbelievable.
"I'm the youngest son. I have five older sisters, all of whom have their own strengths in the music field. So naturally, I had to receive music education from a young age, but that's not what I really wanted. Every time I practiced, I would look out the window and imagine other boys of the same age running and playing in the sun without any worries. For this reason, I didn't know how many times I was lectured by my teachers and sisters.
Later, I finally understood that I was destined to walk the path they had decided on in my life, so I put away my other desires and focused on developing my piano.
Because my path of growth was different from others, I didn't have many friends. Now, the people I interacted with were all people who had worked with me in music. There was no one who really cared about me. No matter how much I yearned to have the friendship of others, I would be at a loss when I saw strangers. I could only use indifference to hide the nervousness in my heart. After a long time, people thought that I was arrogant and unwilling to get close to me. So until now, I still don't have many friends.”
He was surprised to speak so many words in one breath. Even if it was his family, he rarely talked to them. Maybe Wei Zhen's frank and clear attitude infected him!
"How can I not have friends? I am your friend!" She retorted disapprovingly. As long as the other party was not exactly against her taste, she was usually very willing to treat them as friends.
"Yes, I am!" He smiled." You're the first person who's still willing to be warm to me after so many times of being cold to me. So you're really…very special.”
"How is this special? I'm just thick-skinned and always pretend that I can't see other people's rejection!”
"No, no, you're really special in my heart.”Guan Yongwen looked at her carefully, but she seemed to not have sensed the hidden meaning in his words.
"Is that so? A lot of people think that girls like me are crude and have no nerves!”She humorously mocked herself.
No! Guan Yongwen shouted in his heart, You are a straightforward and innocent girl, I like you who always has a refreshing smile on your face…
"Mr. Bai…does Mr. Bai have someone he likes?”
The person she liked... For some reason, when faced with Guan Yongwen's question, Yin Qi's arrogant face suddenly appeared in Bai Weizhen's mind.
No! She immediately denied it. She did not like him. She had already thought it through.
"No!"
" Is that so…" Guan Yongwen heaved a sigh of relief, and his eyes lit up.
"Then!" He was about to say something.
Bai Weizhen shouted that they were home. "I'll get off here. Thank you so much for today!”
Looking at her disappearing figure, Guan Yongwen couldn't help but blurt out,""Teacher Bai!"
"Ah?" She turned around.
"Sunday…Can I treat you to dinner on Sunday night?”He looked at her expectantly.
"Alright!" She agreed without hesitation.
Guan Yongwen was overjoyed. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He said excitedly,""Then I'll wait for you at Alice this Sunday night at seven o'clock.”
"Yes!"
After agreeing to the date, she realized that Alice was a very high-class western restaurant. Wouldn't she have to borrow clothes from Xinya again? However, this time, she would definitely choose the one herself. It was better not to have thin shoulders and not to show her front and back.
The evening breeze blew gently, and a few wisps of floral fragrance floated in the air. It was the result of Bai Weifan's recent large-scale cultivation of champagne roses. Now, regardless of whether it was indoors or outdoors, as long as there was a place where flowers could be placed, the white figure of champagne roses could be seen.
"Bai Weifan, aren't you exaggerating?”Bai Weizhen couldn't help but shout," Our house is about to become a flower market!”
"You're such a slow animal.”Bai Weifan cut the vegetables delicately." Which girl doesn't scream romantic when she sees roses?”
"Is that so?" She sat back in her chair and rested her chin on the back of the chair. She did not think much of it. "Don't you know the meaning of 'too much and not enough? Everything was just right, but overdoing it would backfire and cause others to…wait! What was that thing you just put in there?”She suddenly saw Bai Weifan throw a pile of white things into the wok.
"Rose petals!" " I've invented a dish called rose petals stir-fried shredded pork," he said proudly." I've just picked the rose petals and added the fresh shredded pork dipped in cornstarch to stir-fry. The taste is superb.”
" What…" She almost fainted.
"Also, today's soup is rose mushroom soup. After dinner, there will be rose tea. You're super lucky today, you know?”
Oh my god! She held her forehead and looked at the ceiling as she sighed. The white light was like countless champagne petals, falling heavily on her body. She was about to be drowned in the sea of flowers.
"Let me tell you, Bai Weifan." She was already angry but powerless." Have you heard of the story of petals crushing someone to death? If not, please don't be the first person to cause trouble.”
"Ah?" Bai Weifan was confused.
"When will Auntie come back?”She really didn't want to talk to her brother who only cared about roses.
"I think it's this Sunday!" Bai Weifan replied.
On the night of the concert, she was worried that she would not be able to hide the absurd incident from her aunt. She did not expect her aunt to go on a business trip overnight and had not returned until now. This had never happened before.
"Bai Weifan, do you think Auntie is really going on a business trip?”
"That's right! If it's not a business trip, what is it?"
"I keep feeling a little strange. Auntie has been working at that company for so long, but she has never sent her on a business trip before. Why is it so sudden?”
"Just because there wasn't one in the past doesn't mean that there won't be one in the future. Perhaps it was because the company had taken a fancy to her aunt and wanted to promote her to a director or district manager.”
It wouldn't happen. Bai Weizhen was deep in thought. She felt that there was something wrong, but she could not point it out. She felt that it should have something to do with Weifan. Perhaps her aunt was preparing to take some measures to stop Weifan from getting involved in the underworld!
Towards her aunt, she had always been kind and respectful. Aunt was like a quiet pool of water. Outsiders were only shocked by her mysterious beauty, but they did not know the surging waves hidden under that beauty. She had profound martial arts, but it was cleverly hidden under her quiet appearance. No matter how excited or angry she was, she could maintain a dignified and elegant appearance.
She had read such a famous phrase before! The more the enemy remained motionless under the watchful eyes of powerful enemies, the more tenacious the enemy's will was.
When she read this sentence, she couldn't help but think of her aunt.
If a Scorpio wanted to do something, they would go all out and persevere until they did it well. Similarly, if they wanted to take revenge on someone, they would not stop until they achieved their goal. This was the trait of a Scorpio that left the deepest impression on her when she saw it in a bunch of horoscope books when she was getting a haircut at Juan Juan's.
Perhaps, her aunt still had some influence on the underworld…Right! Yin Hua! Yin Qi's immediate superior! Since Bai Weifan was in Yin Hua's gang, then based on the Bai family's care for Yin Hua back then, it was very likely that his aunt would ask him not to put Weifan in danger.
That's right, that's it! She was suddenly enlightened. She did not expect that she, who had always been the least good at figuring things out, could actually think through this matter clearly. It was really not simple!
The problem was that she remembered that Yin Hua seemed to be the one her aunt liked back then. Later on, because her aunt insisted on bringing the siblings out of the underworld, and Yin Hua wanted to lead the other brothers to continue fighting, the two of them separated and never contacted each other again.
If her aunt really went to see Yin Hua this time, would their old love be rekindled? Because of that…the image of Yin Qi caressing her appeared in her mind, and that sweet feeling once again hit her heart…
Wow! She covered her face and shook her head violently. What was she thinking? Her aunt, who had a strong will, would not be as weak-willed as her!
She opened her arms and saw Bai Weifan staring at her strangely.
"What are you doing? His expression is changing."
"No…no! No way." she protested with difficulty.
"Did you do something wrong? Otherwise, she would have been quiet for so long at the mention of her aunt, and her expression would have been so strange.”
Bai Weifan's unintentional question shocked her so much that she almost fell off her chair.
"You…what nonsense are you spouting?”She broke out in cold sweat guiltily."What do you mean I'll do something wrong? Please! Bai Weifan, you're the only one who can make mistakes!”In order to dispel Bai Weifan's suspicion, she quickly changed the topic."By the way, have you been obedient at home recently?”
"Where? Didn't you see that I'm either at home or in the flower market? I can't be more well-behaved!”
"Of course, it's because you're afraid of samurai swords!”
Bai Weifan's sore spot was exposed, and his face flushed red. However, he was in no position to refute. He could only place the plate in his hand heavily on the table in front of her and loudly said,"Time to eat!"
Bai Weizhen happily picked up her chopsticks." What is this?”
"Rose fried rice!"
"Ah!"
