I'm not chasing you!

After the meeting, Bai Zhi was retained by the producer, saying that an investor wanted to meet him.

"See me?" Bai Zhi was a little surprised.

The producer nodded: "They also directly said that the main reason for investing so much money is because of you."

Bai Zhi was even more surprised. It is still possible to invest in Xie Sijin. How could there be investors interested in him?

Xie Sijin's face darkened, did someone come up with Bai Zhi's idea?

Although he disdains to participate, he also knows a lot of dirty things in the entertainment industry, so he naturally knows that it is impossible for investors to just find Bai Zhi for dinner.

Immediately said to Bai Zhi: "I will go with you."

"Mr. Xie," the producer was a little embarrassed, "They only said they wanted to see Bai Zhi."

"I only saw Baizhi?" Xie Sijin laughed angrily, "Will I humiliate them if I go?"

"Then how can it be? Didn't everyone think you didn't see investors?" The producer said in a good voice, "She's not a mess, she's a female CEO with a good reputation, and her husband and wife are loving. It's on."

That's not enough, rich women Bao|Are there still fewer things about raising fresh meat?

Xie Sijin insisted on saying one thing, and followed Bai Zhi abruptly.

He thought it was a rich woman with a handsome face, until he saw Li Qionghua in the private room of the hotel, and the other's daughter who was still in college.

Xie Sijin: "..."

"Teacher Xie is here too?" Li Qionghua was also very surprised. They met once when the other party donated to the nursing home, but they basically had no contact in private.

Xie Sijin's expression was calm: "Come with Bai Zhi to take a look."

Bai Zhi didn't expect it to be them, so she breathed a sigh of relief and was a little curious: "What can you do with me?"

"It's nothing serious, I just want to see you," Li Qionghua asked the waiter to serve, and said with a smile, "I was busy with work before, so I didn't have time to come here."

Bai Zhi was a little flattered: "Thank you."

Li Qionghua saw his discomfort, and turned to chat with Xie Sijin about work.

Only then did Bai Hejia find a chance to strike up a conversation. She poked Bai Zhi's arm and smiled ambiguously: "Congratulations."

Bai Zhi: "Congratulations for what?"

"I've been here all afternoon," Bai Hejia glanced at him and Xie Sijin frequently, "I know you two have a good relationship, but I didn't expect Best Actor Xie to be worried about having a meal."

"No," Bai Zhi opened her eyes and said nonsense, "He came here specially to see Mr. Li."

Bai Hejia smiled and said, "Are you here to see your future mother-in-law?"

Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows: "Mother-in-law?"

Only then did Bai Hejia realize that he had leaked his words, and quickly shook his head: "I said it casually, don't take it seriously."

Bai Zhi didn't look into it carefully, and changed the subject with a smile: "Have you visited Hengdian? I can find someone to show you around."

"I went shopping for a while yesterday, it was so hot, I don't want to go." Bai Hejia is not very interested in chasing stars. She came here this time because she chatted with Bai Zhi a few days ago and heard that there was an open day event, so she came to visit the class.

"And do you know?" Bai Hejia looked up at him with sparkling eyes, "This time my mother has an important mission here."

Bai Zhi: "What task?"

Bai Hejia made a fool of himself: "You'll find out later."

"Then I'll go back to my room." Not long after, Xie Sijin stood up, "You guys continue talking."

Li Qionghua nodded: "Thank you."

Bai Zhi followed and stood up: "Then I'll go too..."

"Baizhi," Li Qionghua stopped him, "I have something to ask you, can you stay a little longer?"

Bai Zhi subconsciously looked up at Xie Sijin, who nodded at him.

Bai Zhi stayed behind, sat upright and said, "Say it."

Li Qionghua: "I heard from your grandmother that your real name is not Baizhi, did you change it yourself?"

Bai Zhi nodded.

Li Qionghua asked again: "Why did you change your surname to Bai?"

Bai Zhi pursed her lips, and suddenly fell silent.

He never told anyone the meaning of this name, even Fang Xia, who had the best relationship with him, didn't know.

Bai Zhi seldom thinks about her childhood, but once she closes her eyes, it is still as clear as yesterday.

In the first 17 years of Bai Zhi's debut, the Zhu family's conditions were very bad.

My mother didn't finish elementary school and was ridiculed by the villagers as a fool.Although it was later proved that she was only stunted, years of prejudice had dragged her down, and anyone of any value was unwilling to marry her.

Her parents could only dowry the house and recruit a son-in-law.

However, this door-to-door son-in-law is poor and lazy. Bai Zhi was forced to take on the housework early when she was less than ten years old. He washed clothes in the winter, and his hands were red from the cold; Taking care of the noisy younger brother, being overwhelmed by life at a young age...

But his so-called father drank heavily at home all day, gambled with dogs, got drunk every time he went to the market, and beat him again when he came back.

Don't hit your brother, just hit him.

Little Baizhi would complain to her mother at first, but her mother was inferior and cowardly. Although she felt sorry for her son, she was even more afraid of being abandoned.Not only did she not stand up for Xiao Baizhi, but she asked Xiao Baizhi to forgive her father.

No one is willing to forgive the person who beats him every day, so Xiao Bai Zhi starts to hide in her grandparents' house.

It became a safe haven in his dark childhood.

One day, Xiao Baizhi was cutting pigweed with his grandmother after school, and he saw a plant with clusters of small white flowers in the field.Until later, he found that it was present in the forest, by the stream, and in the valley.

Grandma told him that it is called Angelica dahurica, and it has strong adaptability. It can grow no matter in cold, high temperature, or hot and humid conditions, and the roots can also be used as medicine.

Seven years later, the young man who was forced to debut changed his name to Bai Zhi, hoping that he could live well no matter where he was.

"Bai Zhi is a Chinese herbal medicine," Bai Zhi said with a smile, "I like its meaning very much."

"So it's like this," Li Qionghua was a little disappointed, but soon relieved, "I thought too much myself."

Bai Zhi tilted her head, but didn't understand for a while.

"It's nothing," Li Qionghua smiled, "I just wondered if it was an arrangement of fate after I knew you changed your name."

Bai Zhi raised her head, as if suddenly aware of something.

"I know this may be presumptuous, but I really mean it sincerely." Li Qionghua looked at him, and said kindly and gently, "After discussions among the three of us, we unanimously decided to recognize you as a godson."

Under Bai Zhi's astonished eyes, Li Qionghua asked: "Are you willing?"

"Godson...?" Bai Zhi blinked, a little unbelievable, "Why me?"

"The reason is actually very simple," Li Qionghua explained, "You saved Bai Hejia, which is a great favor to us; and after these days of contact, we gradually understand your excellent and kind qualities; Satisfy my selfishness, I feel very kind when I see you. That's why I made this request."

"Even if I saved Bai Hejia before, you have already repaid me." Bai Zhi shook her head, "And I don't think my quality is so good, I just became a law-abiding ordinary person."

Li Qionghua looked at him with a smile: "In this impetuous age, being an ordinary person is already remarkable."

Bai Zhi closed her eyes and exhaled lightly.

He didn't expect the other party to be so determined.

Bai Zhi still remembered their comfort and consideration for Bai Hejia on the return flight.

Bai Hejia was abducted by human traffickers. They didn't scold her for going out to play, nor did they blame her for not being vigilant.All the parents did was comfort her and send the bad guy who bullied her to jail.

No one does not envy such parents.

When she was younger, Bai Zhi also wondered why he was born in such a family, and why the so-called family hurt him the most.

But now, Bai Zhi has passed the age of blaming fate for being unfair, and he will not believe that luck will come to him.

"Sorry." Bai Zhi bowed her head, "Thank you for your approval, but I still can't promise you."

"Brother Bai Zhi!" Bai Hejia blurted out, "But your family doesn't treat you well at all!"

"Hejia," Li Qionghua interrupted his daughter, and turned to look at Baizhi, "I'm sorry, we took the liberty to make such a request to you suddenly."

"No, I'm actually very happy," Bai Zhi said sincerely, "It feels good to be recognized."

"Are you really not thinking about it?" Li Qionghua said, "I'll give you time to think about it, and you can reply me in a week, okay?"

Bai Zhi shook her head: "No, thank you."

Li Qionghua was silent for a while, then shook the phone: "If you change your mind, please feel free to contact me."

Bai Hejia then stood up, reluctantly said: "Then can I still call you brother?"

"Anytime," Bai Zhi smiled, and lightly touched the back of Bai Hejia's head, "As long as you want, you will always be my sister."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooo," Bai Hejia looked at Li Qionghua with teary eyes, "Mom? Is there still time for me to enter the entertainment industry?"

Li Qionghua: "How did you promise me when you applied for the Faculty of Arts?"

"..."

Bai Hejia muttered softly: "I want to realize my literary dream."

"You are already an adult, how can you break your word?" Li Qionghua lovingly stroked her daughter's head, "Hey, go back and watch online classes by yourself, and make up for the few lessons you missed."

Bai Hejia: "Eh? Isn't it??"

Bai Zhi watched the mother and daughter leave with a smile on his face that he didn't realize.

……

Airport, VIP lounge.

Bai Hejia had been in a trance since he left the hotel, until the stewardess reminded that he could board the plane and then he came back to his senses.

Li Qionghua: "What's wrong?"

"I was just thinking," Bai Hejia frowned, "Brother Bai Zhi, did he suffer a lot?"

"That's why his integrity and kindness are even more rare now," Li Qionghua sighed. "Adversity not only degrades people, but also creates a tenacious and unyielding character."

"That's the truth, but no one wants to suffer deliberately for this, right?" Bai Hejia paused, then said suddenly, "Why don't we do a paternity test? What if he is really my brother?"

"How can there be such good luck?" Li Qionghua shook her head. She had been disappointed too many times in these years, and she no longer dared to have expectations. "I'm even more afraid of scaring people away by saying it suddenly."

"That's right..." Bai Hejia was a little depressed, "Others know that we are looking for relatives, and they can't wait to find us relatives. Baizhi is good... We all came to the door in person, but he was afraid of getting involved with us."

"Don't blame him, that kid is guarded but affectionate," Li Qionghua shook his head, "I was too impatient."

……

When Bai Zhi came out of the private room of the hotel, she just received Xie Sijin's WeChat message.

[finished?Come and have supper with me? ]

Bai Zhi: [Just finished, come right away. ]

Xie Sijin: [OK (*/ω＼*)]

Bai Zhi couldn't help laughing.

This man is really...

He was left out a few days ago, and after reconciling last night, he couldn't help complaining that Xie Sijin was cold-spoken. As a result, this person learned to send facial expressions today.

There is no burden, as if the change is so natural.

"Don't hold yourself back from entering a new relationship because you're afraid it won't end well."

"If you don't try, you will never know what is waiting for you."

When we parted just now, Li Qionghua's two warnings were still in my ears.

Baizhi has understood the truth for a long time. Numerous psychological books are warning people not to stop just because they were hurt by the previous relationship, and never lose the ability to love.

In the past, he always avoided risks subconsciously, but this time...

The elevator mirror reflected Bai Zhi's tall figure, the youth's eyes were dark and firm.

Xie Sijin has taken 99 steps in this relationship, and he hopes he can take the last step.

Bai Zhi swiped her card to enter the elevator, and when she pressed the button, her eyes stopped on the 360° night view bar on the top floor.

By coincidence, he followed the elevator to the top floor, leaning against the bar counter to order furtively.

Bartender: "Do you want a low-alcohol but intoxicating wine?"

Bai Zhi tidied up her mask and sunglasses, and after making sure that no one recognized him, she said, "It's a drink that makes people almost drunk, but also keeps them sane."

The bartender made an ok gesture. It turned out that this man wanted to get the girl drunk to do that kind of thing.

The low degree is to reduce the girl's defense, the intoxication is to let the girl do unruly things, and the reason is to keep the reason so that there will be no reaction at all.

The bartender had long been familiar with the strangeness, and recommended two common sake to Bai Zhi.

Baizhi drank two cups directly after returning to the room. The mouthfeel was soft, with a faint fragrance of flowers and rice, and it was indeed not easy to be intoxicated.He felt that his condition was not enough, so he drank two more glasses.

After putting down the wine glass, Bai Zhi's face was a little hot, but her mind was still very clear, and she happened to be slightly drunk.

Bai Zhi stood up, her body shook suddenly.

It's a small thing, he hasn't been drinking for a long time and he's just not used to it.

Bai Zhi supported the wall and stood up, turned around and knocked on Xie Sijin's door.

"Here?" Xie Sijin opened the door, seeing Bai Zhi with flushed cheeks, she couldn't help but be taken aback, "Why are you still drinking?"

Bai Zhi: "A little bit."

Xie Sijin supported Bai Zhi's waist and led him into the house: "Did they persuade you to drink?"

"No." Bai Zhi sat on the sofa and smiled.

Seeming to be quite sober, Xie Sijin was a little relieved. He poured Bai Zhi a glass of milk, wiped his face with a wet towel, and asked, "Are you still eating?"

"Eat," Bai Zhi nodded obediently, "I want to eat cherries."

Fresh cherries are placed in the iced fruit plate, ruddy and plump, with a hint of coolness.

Bai Zhi picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth, she thought of something, her ears turned red.

Xie Sijin: "How is it?"

"It's very sweet." Bai Zhi said perfunctorily, but her eyes frequently drifted to Xie Sijin.

Xie Sijin: "Do you want anything else?"

"No need." Bai Zhi shook her head, her eyes flicked between Cherry and Xie Sijin's lips.

After a while, he finally plucked up the courage to ask Xie Sijin, "Do you want some cherries?"

The latter nodded and said yes.

Bai Zhi took a deep breath and moved over with a cherry in her mouth.

Xie Sijin was startled, and her pupils shrank.

Two of the buttons of Bai Zhi's shirt were undone, her face was slightly powdered, and her eyes were more moist than usual because of the alcohol.At this moment, half-kneeling on the sofa and looking up at him, it is more attractive than the freshest and plump cherry.

"You..." Xie Sijin's Adam's apple rolled, trying to stay awake, "Are you drunk?"

Bai Zhi was actually not drunk, but the slightly drunken buff made him let go completely.

He leaned forward and came to Xie Sijin, pushing out the cherry with the tip of his tongue.

The warm yellow light fell on his porcelain-white skin, illuminating his black-haired red lips. The cherry in his mouth exuded an alluring sweetness, which made people fall.

Xie Sijin leaned back on the sofa, raised her head slightly, and felt Bai Zhi's shallow breath on her face.

There was a cluster of light in the man's dark pupils, like a burning flame, seductive and dangerous.

Bai Zhi's movements froze, and the strong perception of danger made him want to escape, but another stronger force lured him to stay where he was.

Those were Xie Sijin's dark eyes, unbelievably red lips, and a slightly protruding Adam's apple that made people want to bite...

Bai Zhi felt that she was completely sober from the wine for a while, and felt even more drunk after a while.

Otherwise why is his heart beating so fast?Let him want to escape from danger for a while, and desire to stay and be conquered by danger for a while.

"Don't you dare?" Xie Sijin patted Bai Zhi's back with a gentle and considerate smile, as if the danger was just an illusion.

It is inconvenient for Bai Zhi to speak with the cherry in his mouth, he wants to eat the cherry before speaking.

Unexpectedly, the man pressed his back suddenly, and announced in a hoarse voice: "It's late."

"Hmm..." Bai Zhi's eyes widened suddenly, Xie Sijin snatched the cherry from his mouth.

To be precise, it should have snatched half of it.

The fat and thick cherry flesh was bitten open by the teeth, and the sweet and greasy juice entered the mouth, and overflowed from the corners of the mouth under the pressure of the tongue milk, leaving an ambiguous red on the porcelain white skin.

Soon the red mark was licked off, and he fell into a warmer, hotter place.

Bai Zhi lay on Xie Sijin's body, her body was so limp.

His hair was wet with sweat, which made his skin fairer and his lips extraordinarily bright red.

The usually handsome and clean boy now glowed with an unprecedented richness.

It is as if a clean canvas is filled with body temperature, emotions, desires, and impulses, becoming colorful, and finally presenting a unique appearance.

This was painted by Xie Sijin himself, and belonged to him alone.

The taste of cherries in the mouth has completely faded, no matter how they taste, they can no longer taste the taste of the pulp.

"Do you still want to eat?" Xie Sijin let go of Bai Zhi after an unknown amount of time and asked.

Bai Zhi was startled, and couldn't recover for a while.

Now he was dizzy all over, his body was so weak that he could hardly use his strength, and his will was also in an unprecedented weak link, and it took several seconds for him to regain his senses.

"Well," Bai Zhi nodded, her voice was a little softer than usual, "I want to eat."

Xie Sijin bit a cherry and approached, and said softly, "Open your mouth."

Different from the first time that was on the verge of firing, this time Xie Sijin intentionally played with a full rhythm, which was more lingering than last time, but it was also very annoying.

Time was slowed down a little bit, but the senses became extremely clear.Angelica dahurica can even clearly feel the touch of biting the cherry, and the cold flesh becomes hotter in the mouth...

"I won't eat," Bai Zhi couldn't bear it any longer, she bowed her body and refused in a low voice, "I won't eat..."

There are still several scenes tomorrow, and it won't end if we eat any more.

"I'll help you." Xie Sijin looked at him with her forehead pressed against her forehead, her breathing was messy, and the corners of her eyes were stained a thin red.

"No, no need." Bai Zhi refused with a blushing face.

Fearing that Xie Sijin would misunderstand, he quickly explained: "I, I can't control myself... I can't control it when I see you, and if I'm caught by you... I can't help it."

Xie Sijin sighed: "I can't bear it even more when you say that."

Bai Zhi's eyes widened instantly, and she made a movement of zipping up her mouth.

"It's not so exaggerated," Xie Sijin rubbed his lower lip with his thumb, and chuckled, "I've endured it for so long, don't be in a hurry."

Bai Zhi cautiously said, "Then can I continue talking?"

"Well, tell me." Xie Sijin pinched his earlobe, her voice and expression were unprecedentedly relaxed.

"Actually, there is something I didn't tell you," Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then whispered, "I drank on purpose."

Xie Sijin was a little surprised: "Why?"

"Because..." Bai Zhi raised his head and found that Xie Sijin seemed to have become two. He shook his head, and Xie Sijin finally merged into one.

Bai Zhi smiled: "Because I want to go back on my word."

Xie Sijin: "Repent what?"

"Didn't you just say two weeks ago?" Bai Zhi stretched out her finger to make a two, and frowned again, "But I don't want to continue, that feeling is really uncomfortable..."

Xie Sijin's body tensed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.The more turbulent the heart is, the more calm it is.

He asked Bai Zhi: "So have you thought about the answer?"

"I kissed you just now! You still ask me if I think about it?" Bai Zhi was wronged, "If I didn't think about it, would I do that kind of thing?!"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm wrong," Xie Sijin smiled lightly, "But I need to correct you, I kissed you twice just now."

"It seems to be...

"But that's not the point," Bai Zhi was a little depressed, "The point is that I like..."

"I love you." Xie Sijin said it one step ahead of him, and looked over with a focused and serious gaze, "So are you willing to be my boyfriend?"

I never thought that I would be confessed a second time.

Bai Zhi opened her mouth blankly, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Before falling in love with Xie Sijin, Bai Zhi had never been able to feel Xie Sijin's feelings.

He listened to Xie Sijin's confession to him ignorantly, and ignorantly accepted the other party's overtures and pursuits.

During this time, Xie Sijin didn't put any pressure on him, and never showed any negative emotions in front of him.

Bai Zhi easily took this for granted, after all, it was Xie Sijin, even if the confession was rejected, she seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

Until a few days ago, Bai Zhi proposed to resume the normal relationship with colleagues.

Only then did he realize how uncomfortable it is to ask for nothing.

He is no longer free, cheerful, and free, and all his mood swings are being led by another person.

Bai Zhi never knew that she could become so bad, inferior, sensitive, moody.

Negative emotions piled up little by little, almost overwhelming him.

What's even more frightening is that he obviously misses the other party so much that he wants to rush over and hug Xie Sijin immediately, but his damn self-esteem imprisons him again, and he even longs for Xie Sijin to beg for peace first, as if whoever falls in love with him first lost.

But Xie Sijin never did.

He's been straight from the start.

He didn't complain repeatedly because of his rejection, nor did he show any negative emotions in front of him, let alone force him, and didn't use his status and fans to put pressure on him.

In the pursuit of this matter, Xie Sijin was not afraid of getting hurt, and went forward bravely.

Even now, she obviously likes him to death, but Xie Sijin still doesn't want to make him feel uneasy.

Unbelievably gentle.

How could such a good person be met by him?

Baizhi's chest felt hot, and the tip of her nose was sore.

Xie Sijin's figure was reflected in his pupils, which quickly became blurred again.

"Don't cry," Xie Sijin wiped away Bai Zhi's tears with her fingertips, "otherwise I thought you were going to reject me again."

"No, no!" Bai Zhi hugged Xie Sijin anxiously, fearing that the other party would misunderstand, he entangled her whole body, and responded clumsily and bravely, "I like you too! I really, really like you!"

"I know, I know everything." Xie Sijin dragged Bai Zhi out of her arms, preventing her from being out of breath, "You look at me eight hundred times a day, do you really think I can't see it?"

"Isn't it?" Bai Zhi was inexplicably guilty, "Are there really that many?"

"Not many," Xie Sijin gently kissed his forehead, "because that's how many times I see you."
