Chapter 15
But no matter what, they at least temporarily extinguished the fire between the father and son.
Bian Guang took a taxi and left, Bai Sinian pretended to be curious and asked Bian Rui: “Doesn’t your uncle live with you?”
“He’s divorced from my mom, we each live our own lives.” Bian Rui had resumed his free and easy manner, hands in his pockets, looking carefree and unrestrained.
“Oh, actually I think your dad has a point…”
Bian Rui stopped in his tracks, staring at Bai Sinian, Bai Sinian quickly changed the subject: “But we have the weekends, we can take time to play music and relax!”
This answer was exactly what Bian Rui had in mind, so he resumed his steps.
Bian Rui did not look sideways: “Why were you so agitated when you saw someone harassing me?”
Bai Sinian: “Uh, I was afraid you couldn’t fight a middle-aged man!”
Bian Rui: “Why do you think a middle-aged man was harassing me, rather than trying to rob or threaten me?”
Bai Sinian was choked, it’s not my fault you’re so handsome! It’s your fault that you will be harassed by many people in the future!
Bai Sinian: “I was just too worried about you, I didn’t have time to think that much.”
Bian Rui looked at the young man beside him with some confusion, the eyes of the youth in front of him were like a deep lake, his smile was as warm as a spring breeze, gentle and bright, even though they hadn’t known each other for long, he would be so concerned about me?
Bian Rui felt a strange feeling welling up in his heart.
“Wh-what’s wrong?” Bai Sinian felt Bian Rui’s gaze on him, he couldn’t help but touch his face, thinking there was something dirty on it.
“Nothing, where’s your home?” Bian Rui changed the topic.
“Just up ahead, we’ll be there soon. What about you?”
“After crossing the bridge is mine.”
Bai Sinian was a little delighted: “Turns out our two homes are just separated by a bridge!”
“Mm, we can walk to school together when we have time.”
“Okay!”
Being able to go to school with his idol in his lifetime was more exciting than winning five million! Bai Sinian was in a great mood, walking with a spring in his step.
Chatting with Bian Rui along the way, they soon arrived at the entrance of the community.
After saying goodbye, Bai Sinian hurried home with light steps.
“Dad,” Bai Sinian saw his dad watching TV in the living room as soon as he opened the door, “where’s Mom?”
Bai Sinian’s mom poked her head out of the kitchen: “Sinian, you’re finally back? I’ve cooked some mandarin fish soup, and also baked some Swiss beef rolls, just wait two more minutes!”
“Okay!”
Although Bai Sinian had already eaten his fill just now, seeing his mom working so hard to cook, he could still eat another round. Being young is great, growing up, haha!
“Sinian, come here.”
Bai Sinian heard his dad’s summons, immediately jumped onto the sofa, sinking into the sofa: “Dad, what’s up?”
“Did you go play music with those classmates today?” Bai Sinian’s dad lowered the TV volume a bit.
“Yeah, dad, but I don’t know how to play musical instruments, I just watched them play.”
“Do you want to play?”Â
“No no no.” Bai Sinian really didn’t want to, his idol band, he didn’t allow any fifth parties to join!
“If you don’t want to, why did you go? What’s the point of just watching them play?”
“You’re right.”
Bai Sinian’s dad was a little choked up, he really couldn’t understand his child’s thought process.
He cleared his throat lightly, looking at the busy person in the kitchen, said sincerely: “Sinian, you usually live in the dorms, we only see each other a few times a week, your mom took a day off from work today just to keep you company, but you went out, and you’re back so late.”
“The fish soup has been reheated three times already.”
Hearing this, Bai Sinian suddenly felt something blocking his heart.
He had been so focused on witnessing the growth of his idols that he had forgotten to accompany his parents.
“I know, Dad, I’ll spend more time at home in the future.”
Saying this, Bai Sinian jumped up from the sofa and ran into the kitchen: “Mom, let me serve the soup!”
The dishes were already cooked, Bai Sinian pushed his mom back to the dining table, and took the initiative to get the bowls and chopsticks, serving the rice and dishes.
Bai Sinian’s mom smiled contentedly, elbowing his dad: “Did you say something to him?”
“I just lied to him that you reheated the fish soup three times.” Bai Sinian’s dad smiled slyly.
Mom reproached: “It’s only because my son has a kind heart that he can be fooled by you.”
“Mom, this beef roll is so fragrant! Especially the cheese mixed with the onion, so delicious!” Bai Sinian carried a plate of beef rolls, eating as he walked.
“Of course, mom rushed to the supermarket to snatch these, they’ve been selling very well recently.”
“Mom, you’ve worked hard, have a slice too.” Bai Sinian placed the entire plate of beef rolls in front of his mom.
Dad pretended to be unhappy: “I drove your mom to the supermarket early in the morning and helped carry the things, how come I don’t get a share?”
After his mom took her share, Bai Sinian handed the rest to his dad: “Ladies first! Dad is a gentleman, he eats last.”
Seeing his son was so eloquent, Dad didn’t argue with him.
Dinner ended in a harmonious atmosphere.
Back in his room, Bai Sinian opened his computer and copied all the photos and videos he had taken on his phone to the computer, and selected some photos to send to a photo processing service on Taobao to have them printed.
The next day, Bai Sinian stayed at home until the afternoon before leaving, his parents wanted to send him, but he firmly insisted on going to school by himself, his parents couldn’t persuade him, so they just packed him a suitcase full of snacks and saw him off at the door.
Bai Sinian took the bus and arrived at their music base.
Even before going in, he could hear the sound of guitar and bass coming from inside, sounding much more harmonious than yesterday.
“Hi Boys!” Bai Sinian greeted enthusiastically.
Shen Beiyu’s fingers paused, the guitar sound abruptly stopped, his face showed a joyful expression: “Sinian ge, you’re here!”
Fan Hongyi plucked at the bass, playing a simple tune to welcome him, only Bian Rui glanced at Bai Sinian and then sat down by the drum set.
Bai Sinian scanned the room, but didn’t see Cui Yeyi, he squatted down and opened the suitcase, planning to take out some snacks to share with everyone, while asking: “Where’s Cui Yeyi?”
“He said since Bian Rui is here, he won’t come.” Fan Hongyi said while giving himself a “dang dang dang dang” musical accompaniment.
This guy, Bai Sinian sighed inwardly.
“Here, this is the new Zealand beef nuggets my mom rushed to the supermarket for yesterday, try some.”
“Yay!” Shen Beiyu, hugging the guitar, ran over, like a tail-wagging puppy.
Bai Sinian gave him a big bag, then took two more bags and threw them to Bian Rui and Fan Hongyi.
“Thanks.”
Shen Beiyu hugged the big bag of beef nuggets, so happy he was about to bubble over, he spun around twice and spun to the door: “I’ll go buy drinks for everyone.”
Bai Sinian waved at him with a smile, signaling him to go.
The remaining three simply chatted about the current coordination and tacit understanding, as well as some areas that still needed more practice.
Soon, Shen Beiyu came back carrying a bag of chilled drinks, shyly saying: “I, I saw Yexi downstairs.”
“What’s he doing downstairs? Why isn’t he coming up?” Bai Sinian asked.
Shen Beiyu stammered, looking at Bian Rui, then at Bai Sinian, Bai Sinian roughly guessed that it was probably because he didn’t want to see Bian Rui.
“I’ll go take a look, you guys keep practicing.”
Bai Sinian quickly left the music room and ran downstairs.
Shen Beiyu handed out the drinks, Fan Hongyi unscrewed the soda bottle cap and gulped down the entire bottle in one breath, then went back to the stage to continue plucking his bass, Shen Beiyu also felt awkward just standing around, so he quickly went back to continue practicing the guitar.
Only Bian Rui leisurely walked towards the window, suddenly seeing the scene below, he almost choked.
A girl next to Cui Yeyi seemed to want to leave, Cui Yeyi seemed to want to grab her and not let her go, but Bai Sinian was grabbing Cui Yeyi’s wrist, not letting him chase after her.
The whole scene looked like… a love triangle.
In the end, the girl glared at Bai Sinian and ran off without looking back.
Bian Rui: …
As soon as Bai Sinian went downstairs, he saw Cui Yeyi’s hand on a girl’s shoulder, the two of them leaning against the main entrance drinking bubble tea, their actions intimate, looking like a couple.
Bai Sinian was instantly furious, this guy not only didn’t practice the drums, but he was even flirting with someone outside the music room!
“Cui Yeyi, got another girlfriend again?” Bai Sinian showed a mischievous smile.
The girl heard this and her face immediately darkened.
Cui Yeyi was flustered: “What the hell are you babbling about!”
Bai Sinian walked up to them, threatening and intimidating: “If I tell your dad, he’ll definitely cut off your allowance, then you won’t have money to date again and again! And it’s early love too!”
“You, shut up!”
The girl glared at Cui Yeyi: “Didn’t you say you only dated one before?!”
Cui Yeyi: “I swear to God, I really only dated one…”
Bai Sinian enjoyed the show: “The ones I’ve seen are more than one.”
Cui Yeyi glared furiously at Bai Sinian, but had to turn to coax the girl: “I swear, I just played with them, but you’re the one I truly love!”
“That means you admitted to having many girls!” The girl shook off Cui Yeyi’s hand and ran out without looking back.
Cui Yeyi immediately chased after her, Bai Sinian thought this was really a troublesome guy, he’s not even eighteen yet, his techniques of coaxing people are exactly the same as a scumbag, no wonder he would frequently cheat in the future! Now he must save this wayward young man!
“Cui Yeyi, don’t go!” Bai Sinian grabbed Cui Yeyi’s arm.
As long as he could stop Cui Yeyi from chasing the girl, as long as the girl could accelerate her escape, their love could be severed!
Sure enough, the girl had already run across the street in a blink of an eye, the passing vehicles blocking Cui Yeyi’s path.
Cui Yeyi turned around and yelled at Bai Sinian: “What the fuck is wrong with you! It’s my business, what’s it to you?!”
Bai Sinian also shouted at him: “You’re in early love! If I tell your dad, do you believe your dad will ground you!”
“Of course I believe it! But what’s it to you!”Â
The two stood on the roadside, arguing heatedly, standing at the window on the upper floor, Bian Rui watched, feeling more and more like this scene was the mistress discovering the existence of the original partner, and angrily leaving, leaving the two original partners to argue.
Bian Rui: …
It shouldn’t be what he thought, right?
