Overwhelmed

The moonlight is like water, pouring in the world with eloquence.

I happily tugged on Big Brother Bai's sleeve and followed behind him, stepping on the moonlight all the way.

It wasn't until the Bai family's car stopped in front of us that I really recovered from the scene that seemed to be an understatement but was actually undercurrent.

Brother Bai's expression was very calm, even a little careless.At this moment, he was lowering his eyes slightly, looking at the cuff that I was pulling.

I let go of my hand in embarrassment, and looked at the folds on his snow-white sleeves that I had pinched, a lot of thoughts flashed in my heart for a while, but the only thing I really said was: "Brother Bai, tonight Thank you."

Brother Bai responded softly, lowered his head and slowly adjusted his cuffs.

Only then did I realize that his current attitude is far less enthusiastic than a moment ago, and my brain immediately calmed down a lot. I actually didn't know each other well when I thought about it.

Sure enough, he soon heard him say again, "Don't worry, since you are a little friend, I will naturally help you when I meet you."

The words were obviously very normal, but they made my heart feel a little cold, and an inexplicable loss quietly spread in my heart.

However, there is nothing wrong with this statement.

People like Big Brother Bai, if it wasn't because Xiaoxiao and I are friends, probably wouldn't even look at me, right?Even the faint smile that appeared before was due to the mention of Xiaoxiao.

A hint of loss and envy suddenly surged up from the depths of my heart, and at the same time, it also made me a little curious, how did Xiao Xiao and Big Brother Bai cultivate such a strong relationship?

It's really because just looking at the brothers and sisters of the Bai family gives me a headache for the stiff relationship between me and my elder brother.

Maybe another day I can learn from Xiaoxiao?

While thinking about this in his heart, he heard Big Brother Bai's gentle voice again, "Ming Yuan, it's getting late, let's go home."

I nodded and said goodbye to Big Brother Bai.

I turned around and was about to go back, when I saw Mr. Bodyguard whispering to me with an ugly expression, "Master, there is something wrong with our car, we may have to wait a while before we can leave."

I frowned. Although Mr. Bodyguard didn't say it clearly, I had an intuition that this matter had something to do with Tang Yuan.

Don't blame me for putting all the bad things on Tang Yuan, it's because his actions tonight are too suspicious, and even made me have some doubts about some things that I didn't notice in the past.

"I'll take you back." Brother Bai's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

I hesitated for a moment and looked at the watch on my wrist. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

It takes at least an hour and a half from here to my house.It took Xiaoxiao more than an hour to go to my house last time. If Brother Bai sent me off and then went home, it would be almost one o'clock in the morning when I got home.

"It's too late, I've already caused a lot of trouble for Brother Bai today, so forget it." After thinking about it, I still shook my head and refused, "I can wait for my family to send a car, or go out and take a taxi."

Brother Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised, then smiled helplessly and looked at me and said, "The Lu family's place is a private property, let's not say whether the unfamiliar driver knows the way or not, even if he does, he will not be let go. "

With embarrassment, I turned my head to seek the truth from the Mr. Bodyguard behind me, and Mr. Bodyguard nodded to me awkwardly.

It may take a long time if the family sends a car over...

I pursed my lips in embarrassment, and thanked Brother Bai softly, "Then I will trouble Brother Bai."

Brother Bai and I got into the car of the Bai family, and Mr. Bodyguard sat in another car behind.

After getting in the car, Brother Bai lowered the curtain between him and the driver, and our place has become a small quiet space.

This is the first time I have been alone with Big Brother Bai. Sitting face to face like this makes me a little nervous.

His gaze soon fell on Big Brother Bai.

Only then did I gradually realize that after the curtain fell, Brother Bai seemed to be much more relaxed than before.

At this moment, he was leaning leisurely on the back of the chair, holding a crystal cup filled with a golden liquid in his hand, turning it gently, occasionally smelling the fragrance emitted, and occasionally taking a sip, his brows and eyes stretched, and a lazy breath hit his face come.

I looked at the liquid in the cup curiously, because I didn't smell the slightest smell of wine, but a less obvious tea aroma lingered in my nose.

Brother Bai also noticed my gaze, smiled and poured a little into an empty cup, then handed me the crystal cup, "The calming tea prepared at home, if you don't mind it, you can try it."

I took the cup calmly, but I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in my heart. I used a crystal cup to hold tea or something. Even if I lost my memory, I knew that these two things didn't go together at all, ahem...

Shaking the crystal cup, a light and peaceful taste soon floated away. I lowered my head and took a sip. I felt that the taste was not bad, and the fragrance remained on my lips and teeth after drinking.

I don't know if it was because of the aroma of the tea, but my spirit quickly relaxed, and I asked the question about the crystal cup and tea just now.

Brother Bai didn't seem to expect that I would have such a question, or maybe he didn't expect that I would ask it in front of him.

Still shaking the teacup slightly, he said to me in his unique gentle voice, "Then Mingyuan thinks, what kind of cup should I use?"

"It should be a porcelain cup..." In Chinese people's minds, drinking tea should go with a porcelain cup.

Big Brother Bai chuckled, reached out and turned on a small dim light, and the whole space was dyed a faint orange.

The slightly shaking cup flickered between his onion-like fingers. The liquid in the cup was refracted by the orange light into a flowing sunset, which made his knuckle fingers more white and jade-like, and reflected the The crystal cup in his hand became rounder and brighter.

"Does it look good?" The vague voice seemed to come from afar.

I nodded involuntarily.

The light was turned off soon, but my gaze was still following the hand holding the crystal cup, watching the hand press the rim of the cup to the corner of the soft lips, and then sip it gracefully.

"When we are in our position, the shackles of the world are no longer important, and what needs to be considered is just what we want."

Seeing my dazed expression, Big Brother Bai shook his head and said slowly, "In the future, you will naturally understand."

I stared at him blankly, then looked down at the empty cup in my hand, half understanding what he just said in my heart.

The spirit is a little tired.

Looking at the dark night outside the window, I leaned on the back of the chair, thinking back to what happened today, from being attacked by Lu Mingzhao the night before, to seeing the ring that I didn't give away in the morning, to Han Zheng's phone call, and in the morning. The symposium with Big Brother, Lu Mingzhao and Wan Li, the wrap-up banquet in the evening, meeting Tang Yuan and Song Meiyu, and hearing the news that I was taken care of by Big Brother Bai in the bathroom...

Suddenly thinking of this incident, I couldn't help feeling a little hot on my face.Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Big Brother Bai who was closing his eyes and resting his mind, and then he was slightly relieved.

Then continue to recall about the sudden appearance of the reporter, Tang Yuan's public confession and aggressive questions from the reporter, the appearance of Big Brother Bai until now...

There are too many things to consider, and my head feels aching again.

I simply stopped thinking about it and let my thoughts settle down slowly, and then, I accidentally fell asleep.

When he woke up in a daze, he heard Big Brother Bai whispering something to someone——

"Go to bed first, I'm sending my friend home."

"His car broke down halfway, it was too late, and I couldn't leave him alone on the road."

"Well, it's okay, I'll be back in a while."

"Did you take a nap?"

"okay."

"Don't wait for me, go to bed early."

"Good night."

...This is the first time I heard Big Brother Bai talking to someone other than Xiao Xiao with such a gentle voice.

I rubbed my eyes and sat up, something slipped from my body.

I picked it up and saw it was Brother Bai's coat.

It happened that Brother Bai also hung up the phone, noticed my movement, and looked up at me, "Are you awake?" His voice was a little hoarse.

"Yeah." I nodded indiscriminately, handed him the coat, and thanked him in a low voice.

"I'll be at Lu's house in a few minutes. I just called your elder brother. He's waiting for you."

Brother is waiting for me?This surprised me a little, and made me more energetic.

When I got out of Big Brother Bai's car, I saw Big Brother and Ah Qing who were waiting at the door, and my heart suddenly warmed up, but the backlog of exhaustion suddenly burst out.

When Big Brother and Big Brother Bai exchanged greetings, my eyelids were a little heavy. Only when Big Brother Bai left at the end, I thanked and said goodbye to him in a daze. Went to bed and fell asleep.

A night without dreams.

When I woke up the next morning, I realized that I had forgotten to take off my clothes the night before, and my whole body exuded a sense of decadence.

I looked at the time, it was already past breakfast time, I guess Ah Qing also knew that I was tired all day yesterday, so it was rare for me to sleep for a while.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, I clutched my stomach that started moaning and protesting again, and slowly appeared downstairs. As expected, my eldest brother was no longer there.

Ah Qing smiled and asked someone to serve breakfast.

After breakfast, I just wanted to ask Brother Ah Qing if he was there, but he bowed slightly and said, "Young Master, Eldest Young Master asked you to look for him in the study after breakfast."

My heart skipped a beat, thinking to myself that it really came.

What happened last night was such a big commotion, it is indeed impossible for the eldest brother not to know.

I came to the outside of the study slowly, and the door of the study was slightly opened, probably the elder brother specially left it for me.I struggled a bit before knocking lightly on the door.

"Come in." The elder brother's voice came from the crack of the door.

I nervously opened the door and walked in. After closing the door, I obediently sat down on the opposite side of my elder brother's desk.

My eldest brother was looking at the documents, and I didn't dare to make a sound first, so I had to quietly look at the study.

Wan Li is not here today, so I am a little nervous.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" Just as he was distracted, the elder brother's cold voice came from the opposite side.

I immediately sat up straight, nodded, "I've eaten."

The eldest brother said "um", "Your stomach is not good, try to eat on time."

It was such a simple sentence, but it warmed my heart.

I whispered, "I got up late today, and I won't do it in the future."

The eldest brother quickly put aside the documents in his hand, looked at the time, then glanced at me again, then got up and went into the study.

I followed up hesitantly, and then saw my elder brother pick up the remote control from the coffee table, press the TV on the wall, and on the screen that was playing, it was Tang Yuan's affectionate confession to Song Meiyu last night.

On the subtitle below, the scarlet words "Tang Yuan and his fiancée make a public appearance" caught people's attention, and the host's excited voice also echoed in the study: "This is Tang Yuan's first public relationship since his debut eight years ago! It is rumored that the other party is a socialite from S city." Miss Song, the two of you are already secretly engaged, and it won't be too long before we decide on the wedding date..."

Although the two people on TV were in love with each other, I didn't care about it. I just kept staring at the screen nervously, afraid that my face would be on the headlines of entertainment news with these two people.

Fortunately, until the end of this entertainment news program, there was no mention of a word about me. I was relieved, and then I found that my elder brother had sat on the sofa opposite the TV at some point, and his eyes were sinking on me. , the look in the eyes made my heart lift up again.

The TV was quickly turned off.

"Sit." The elder brother nodded the seat beside him with his chin.

I held my breath and sat there, turned my words around a few times, finally bit my lip, and whispered to my elder brother, "Brother...thank you."

The news he let me watch just now was to tell me about the raid by reporters last night, and it must not have been exposed.

The eldest brother didn't say anything, but I could feel his eyes kept falling on my face, as if he was observing something.

"What do you think about what happened last night?" After a while, the eldest brother asked.

I frowned, actually, I really had some ideas.

After filtering all the things in my mind, I said: "Actually, after last night, I have some vague doubts and speculations. I hope that big brother...can ask Wan Li to check it out for me." Speaking of which, I I looked at my brother.

The eldest brother nodded without changing his expression.

"The first thing, I want to know the exact time when Tang Yuan and Song Meiyu were together... because according to the information Wan Li gave me, when I...confessed to Tang Yuan, the two of them didn't seem to be together. But According to Tang Yuan, he went abroad that afternoon and came back yesterday. When I saw them yesterday, they were already glued together."

"What I want to know is that the matter of my confession to Tang Yuan was exposed, besides being related to Song Meiyu...whether it has anything to do with Tang Yuan."

Having said that, I glanced at my elder brother.He nodded slightly, motioning for me to continue.

Taking a deep breath, I continued, "Second thing, I want to know, what happened to those reporters who suddenly appeared yesterday when I was about to leave?...Although Wan Li has already told me, there is no It's not a very high-end place, but it's a private club after all. It's too abnormal for so many reporters to appear suddenly. Moreover, Tang Yuan seemed a little eager to expose his relationship with Song Meiyu to reporters. I think Song Meiyu seemed surprised. "

The eldest brother lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"...The third thing, the reporter who hides in the group of reporters and keeps turning the topic in a direction that is not good for me, I want to know, did he have someone's instruction to do that?"

"The fourth thing, there was a problem with the car before I came back yesterday, I want to know what happened? If it wasn't for Brother Bai..."

Thinking about what would happen if Big Brother Bai didn't show up last night, and if I went to the banquet alone without bodyguards, and the car broke down after those reporters showed up, it's really unpredictable.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help biting my lip again.

……

"It's all right." There was a soft caress on the top of my head, and before I was sure, I left in a flash.

The eldest brother got up and left quickly, and came back to me after a while, handing me a document.

I took a look, and it seemed to happen to be the ones he was looking at just now.

He glanced at the eldest brother hesitantly, and he nodded to me, "The answers to those questions you just asked."

I looked down in surprise.

The few pieces of paper written in black and white irrefutablely verified my worst guess about Tang Yuan.

Shaking my fingers and putting the information aside, I tried my best to calm down, and then asked: "So... is it true that Tang Yuan is deliberately manipulating behind all this?"

The elder brother didn't make a sound.

I couldn't help but continue to say: "The person who filmed happened to be Song Meiyu, and Song Meiyu happened to be on the set, just in time to see me confessing to Tang Yuan?"

"... Except for Han Zheng, only Tang Yuan knew about my going to the green banquet yesterday; Tang Yuan's manager 'accidentally' released the news of his return to China; Tang Yuan has a good relationship with the owner of the private club..."

"So whether it's those reporters who shouldn't be there, or my car that broke down for no reason, it's really easy to intervene through the clubhouse!"

"Brother, I don't understand!" I raised my head abruptly, looking at my brother for a moment, "I... just liked Tang Yuan at the beginning, why did he do this?!"
