"I really don’t have anything to talk about with you..." Song Ziyu really didn’t want to argue with him right now, "I really have things to do, please stop following !"
Song Ziyu finished speaking and walked away, Su Tianqing punched the air in frustration.
.....
On the way to the botanical garden, Qiao Xiaoyan and Bai Ye went together, Gan Zi and Xu Ruowei paired up, as well as other mbers of the expedition team.
Passing by the wild forest, Xu Ruowei exclaid, "Where is this? The scenery is so beautiful!"
Qiao Xiaoyan said, "In the forest, there’s a lake with a hot spring, the scenery is incredibly beautiful."
"Wow!" Xu Ruowei was incredibly happy upon hearing this and asked Qiao Xiaoyan, "Have you been there?"
"I’ve been there!" Qiao Xiaoyan replied, "When I first arrived in the town, I explored around everywhere..."
Xu Ruowei glanced at Bai Ye, who was also gazing out the window, "Did you ever go there with him..."
Xu Ruowei didn’t finish her sentence, Qiao Xiaoyan still hadn’t had that kind of intimate relationship with a man, so she didn’t grasp it right away.
Bai Ye was also a novice in matters of the heart, so he said, "No! I didn’t even know this town existed before."
Xu Ruowei covered her mouth and laughed, "You two really should go there together..."
Qiao Xiaoyan then understood, and her face blushed a bit. To be honest, she wasn’t fond of Xu Ruowei. If Song Ziyu had made such a joke, it would have seed reasonable, but Xu Ruowei, to put it bluntly, was just a flirt who was continuously looking for excitent.
Qiao Xiaoyan continued, "This is a section of primordial forest, many wild animals live here. So, try not to co here, to avoid wild beasts appearing, attacking people would be unpleasant!"
"But, Officer Bai has a gun! No fear!" Xu Ruowei laughed, "Besides, if a wild beast does appear, it’s quite thrilling..."
Qiao Xiaoyan thought to herself, is Xu Ruowei here just looking for thrills?
Bai Ye withdrew his distant gaze, then looked at Xu Ruowei. People who didn’t know better might think Xu Ruowei was a brothel madam!
"Why didn’t President Xu’s husband accompany her to the small town this ti?" Bai Ye thought, which man with such a wife must have poor ancestry!
Xu Ruowei dismissively replied, "What for? I’m here for work!"
This is work? Continuously flirting with n, one after another, Bai Ye and Qiao Xiaoyan exchanged a glance.
Along the way, Xu Ruowei stayed interested in that section of the wild forest. Later, after selecting an investnt site in Wenchang Village, the group returned to the hotel.
Qiao Xiaoyan and Bai Ye went to the school together, bringing so snacks for the kids.
Gan Zi accompanied Xu Ruowei back to the hotel room, as he was planning to leave that night, and went to pack his things.
.....
At school.
The boys were very interested in Bai Ye, who taught them Kung Fu, while the girls circled around Qiao Xiaoyan, who was braiding their hair.
In the sky, there was a streak of sunset, the sunset was like blood, yet so splendid.
In the evening, Qiao Xiaoyan called Song Ziyu, "Ziyu, we’ve chosen a place, though I’m not sure if Xu Ruowei is satisfied, are you okay?"
"Xiaoyan, thank you for your hard work!" Song Ziyu said, "Our small town is still very advantageous, her selecting back and forth is just a fuss! So there’s no need to rush."
"Alright!" Qiao Xiaoyan replied, "I’m heading back to the city tonight with Bai Ye, is there anything you’d like to bring back? I’ll return tomorrow morning."
"No." Song Ziyu leaned back on the chair, "You and Bai Ye go and have fun!"
Song Ziyu put down the phone. She hadn’t gone with Xu Ruowei to select the investnt project site today, nor did she send Gan Zi off.
She looked at her watch, and then picked up her phone, thinking about calling Gan Zi but hesitated, unsure what to say.
To be honest, Gan Zi cared for her a lot, in a silent way.
However, this affection was more about camaraderie, which, even though not as earth-shattering as love, still ward Song Ziyu while she was building the small town.
Su Tianqing hadn’t contacted her today either. Song Ziyu rubbed her head; that man, he really was a headache!
He could be incredibly temperantal at tis, yet so infuriatingly arrogant!
Song Ziyu thought they were natural-born enemies, otherwise, why would they start arguing every ti they t!
.....
In the city.
Qiao Xiaoyan was on the rry-go-round, Bai Ye refused to get on, "A grown man sitting on this would be laughed at!"
"It’s called being cute!" Qiao Xiaoyan humd, "Big Bai, you’re not cute at all..."
At the mont, Qiao Xiaoyan was sitting on a white horse, holding onto a pole, her body rising and falling, the music continuously played, the spinning rry-go-round, take flying...
Bai Ye watched her, quietly sneaking behind her. He was naturally agile; with a light jump, he vaulted over the fence and landed inside the turning rry-go-round.
He gestured for silence to the person sitting behind and then, with another nimble leap, jumped onto Qiao Xiaoyan’s horse, sitting behind her.
"Ah..." Qiao Xiaoyan yelped, "Big Bai, you’re launching a sneak attack..."
He wrapped his arms around her small waist from behind, his broad chest pressed against her back, his strong hands gently holding her soft waist, rising and falling with the movent, the two of them spun continuously with the music...
Many girls looked on enviously at Qiao Xiaoyan, watching her handso and charismatic boyfriend accompany her romantically on the rry-go-round!
When the rry-go-round stopped, Bai Ye jumped down first and then extended a hand to her, "Jump down, I’ll catch you!"
Actually, getting off the rry-go-round wasn’t high at all, but this gesture still deeply moved Qiao Xiaoyan.
She happily jumped down, landing in his arms...
"Was it fun?" Qiao Xiaoyan asked him!
Bai Ye honestly scratched his head, "I don’t know... I just felt holding you made forget about the whole world..."
"Sweet talker!" Qiao Xiaoyan laughed, eyes curved in delight.
In the evening, Bai Ye took her to eat snacks, and the two laughed all the way, spending a delightful evening.
.....
Early the next morning.
Bai Ye was about to knock on Qiao Xiaoyan’s door; he wanted to take her to the amusent park.
At that mont, he received a call, and his expression changed—a murder case had occurred in the small town...
"Ring, ring, ring..." Bai Ye’s phone rang urgently.
He was going to the hotel to pick up Qiao Xiaoyan, saw the caller ID, and decided not to answer.
But Zhu Ying was relentless, continually calling his phone.
Bai Ye frowned, ready to turn off his phone when Zhu Ying finally stopped calling.
He was just about to knock on Qiao Xiaoyan’s door when a familiar landline number appeared on the screen; recognizing it as the police station’s number, he assud it was Zhu Ying again, and didn’t plan to answer.
Qiao Xiaoyan opened the door, already freshened up and ready to go!
They shared a gentle hug, and Qiao Xiaoyan noticing his phone continually ringing, inquired, "Why not answer?"
"It’s Zhu Ying calling!" Bai Ye shrugged, "I don’t want to be nagged to death first thing in the morning!"
Qiao Xiaoyan hooked her arm around his, "She likes you, doesn’t she? Big Bai, maybe you should go along with it, you could get a promotion instantly... Ouch... you’re pinching ..."
Bai Ye pinched her cheek, "Don’t talk nonsense! If I want a promotion, I’m not using won to climb up!"
"Just teasing you!" Qiao Xiaoyan nestled her face into his big palm.
His hands were so large, enveloping half of her face, warm and solid, with rough lines left by long-term firearm handling.
