Chapter 78
One month later, Bai He officially joined the planning team and started following up on the team’s work. His transition to a regular employee had been confirmed, pending his graduation from university. During this period, he continued to work here as an intern.
Zhang Yao went to the competitive R&D team. It had been almost a month since he moved into FREE to live. During this time, Bai He hadn’t heard any news from Zhou Sheng’s side.
Qin Yao told him that something happened in Zhou Sheng’s family recently, so he couldn’t attend to Zhang Yao. Once that guy finished his business, it would be hard to say.
Mu Lin and Shen Hao were learning from Sister Tong. Everyone was moving in the direction of their own efforts.
This afternoon, just as Bai He came out of Yi Chen’s office, he received a call from a strange number. After connecting, the other side didn’t speak immediately. Bai He said hello a few times before sensing something.
He stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking at the bustling city, and said indifferently: “If you don’t speak, I’ll hang up.”
“Don’t…” Bai Lu’s voice trembled: “Brother, I aborted the child.”
Bai He was silent. Bai Lu on the other end sobbed: “Brother, I was wrong. I should have listened to you…”
“Bai Lu, you shouldn’t listen to me.” Bai He interrupted him, looking into the distance: “You can’t always follow someone else’s footsteps. You must have the ability to judge right from wrong yourself.”
This sentence wasn’t profound, just a common truth. Bai Lu didn’t respond for a long time. After about three minutes, he hummed an agreement and hung up the phone.
Bai He looked at his phone, his emotions calm.
Bai Lu always followed ‘that Bai He’, the person who might have died or gone to another place, having nothing to do with him.
The Bai family naturally knew about Bai He’s upcoming marriage to Qin Yao. Bai Qiu contacted Bai He secretly a few times. After being explicitly rebuffed, he didn’t call again.
Returning to the office, Bai He continued to handle his work. On his desk was a cactus, round and plump, next to the window, facing the sunlight. Several flower buds had already grown on the top.
The cactus was given by a colleague next door, said to be very resilient.
Bai He thought this tenacious little ball was quite cute.
Near the end of work, he saw a figure flash quickly outside the office glass window. He didn’t see clearly, but felt it looked familiar. a few minutes later, Qin Yao upstairs sent him a message.
Bad Cat: [Oh ho, Zhou Sheng is here.]
Bad Cat: [Xiao Bao, Zhang Yao is out on field duty today. Tell him to come back later.]
Bad Cat: [Or don’t come back. Zhou Sheng knows Zhang Yao lives at FREE. Let him stay outside for a night, on the company.]
Bai He replied ‘got it’, then screenshot and forwarded it to Zhang Yao.
Speaking of Zhou Sheng and Zhang Yao, Bai He found it quite magical. He didn’t expect Zhou Sheng to be such a clingy guy. And after this period of time, Bai He could see some signs.
Zhou Sheng seemed serious.
But Zhang Yao…
He counted Zhang Yao’s work achievements over the past month.
He entered the group to learn the month before last. Within a month, he took root in the group as an intern and contributed greatly to the development of integrated competitive gameplay. After the [Xingchen] 2.0 version update, he began researching the next round of gameplay. Within ten days, he submitted no less than ten proposals to the group and Qin Yao. Almost every version of the proposal reached an astonishing level of perfection. Currently, three of the proposals have been adopted and are in formal production. He even published a report on competitive game themes. The report was published in the daily newspaper the day before yesterday. His field duty today was being invited to participate in related offline activities.
Can only be described as very impressive. And he was a workaholic, a competitive game enthusiast. Others were exhausted from work, while he was getting more and more energetic. Qin Yao certainly wouldn’t allow such a talent to be wasted here, even if Zhou Sheng was his friend.
Bai He understood the reasoning.
After the message was sent, Zhang Yao replied quickly.
Zhang Yao: [Got it.]
Zhang Yao: [Then I’ll come back the day after tomorrow, just in time for your wedding banquet.]
Zhang Yao: [It’s quite fun here. I’ll bring you guys some local specialties when I return.]
Still in the mood to talk about specialties, it could be seen that Zhang Yao didn’t take Zhou Sheng’s matter to heart at all, or rather didn’t take Zhou Sheng seriously at all.
Qin Yao was right. Zhou Sheng might be the one played around in circles.
Bai He tidied up the manuscripts on the desk, took off his intern badge, got up and went upstairs. Pushing open the door to Qin Yao’s office, he ran into Zhou Sheng walking out with a face full of hostility. Seeing him, the other party squeezed out a smile uglier than crying on his irritable face, as a greeting.
Bai He nodded, stepping aside to let him go first.
Zhou Sheng lifted his leg and left indignantly. Looking at his back, he seemed somewhat aggrieved.
“Xiao Bao?” Qin Yao’s voice came from inside. In a moment, he appeared in front of him: “Why did you come up?”
“Came to take a look.” Bai He withdrew his gaze: “What did he want with you?”
“Heh.” Qin Yao scoffed, reaching out to hold Bai He’s hand, leading him into the office: “He couldn’t find the person, so he came here to throw a tantrum.”
“What did you say?” Bai He was gently pressed onto the sofa by Qin Yao. His gaze followed Qin Yao to the mini fridge. The other party returned and handed him a glass of milk.
Qin Yao sat down next to him: “What could I say to him? With Zhang Yao’s current ability, staying at FREE for a few more years to become a veteran cadre is completely fine. How could Zhou Sheng interfere? He just came over to talk smack. Stray dogs are like that.”
Bai He was silent, raising his eyes: “Stray dog?”
Qin Yao raised his eyebrows: “The Zhou family are canine beastmen. My cousin Qiu Yao’s alpha is from a branch of the Zhou family. Do you remember Luo Anyu, Xiao Bao?”
“Remember, Samoyed.” Bai He certainly remembered. He shook his head disapprovingly: “Calling others stray dogs is impolite.”
Qin Yao suddenly felt aggrieved: “He scolded me just now too!”
Bai He asked: “What did he scold you?”
“………” Qin Yao stiffened instantly: “Nothing.”
Bai He held the milk, tilting his head to observe Qin Yao’s face. After a long while, he laughed lightly: “Qin Yao.”
“……” Qin Yao took a deep breath, suddenly burying his head on his lap: “He called me a夹子猫 (clip voice cat/whiny cat)!!”
Listening to the voice, he was really angry. Bai He patted Qin Yao’s back: “He wasn’t wrong…”
“Xiao Bao, you!” Qin Yao suddenly propped himself up, his face full of resentment. This was an expression only seen after being ‘sniffed’ by Bai He.
“I haven’t finished yet.” Bai He hooked Qin Yao’s chin with his finger, scratching it lightly twice: “Clip voice cats are so cute. I like the little clip voice cat acting spoiled to me.”
Qin Yao stopped talking. His head rubbed against Bai He’s hand twice: “What if other cats act spoiled to you too?”
“Their voices aren’t as nice as yours.” Bai He cupped Qin Yao’s face and kissed the corner of his lips: “I only like you.”
Qin Yao’s breathing deepened. He moved closer, picking Bai He up and placing him on his lap, his hand twisting and pressing Bai He’s fingers: “Everything for the wedding banquet is ready. Tomorrow we have to go for a rehearsal. I gave the company a holiday.”
Bai He nodded: “Do we need to go home this afternoon?”
Qin Yao nodded: “Little Dad said our suits are ready and delivered. Let’s go back and take a look tonight.”
“Okay.” Bai He responded.
“Xiao Bao, we’re finally going to be together.” Qin Yao was particularly clingy these days. Bai He could sense his excitement. He responded to every excitement of Qin Yao: “I know, we have always been together.”
After lingering for a long time, the two packed up and returned to the Qin family. After dinner at home, they took the suits back to the apartment.
The suits were designed and made by Nan-ge’s team, very exquisite. Bai He could try them on during the rehearsal the next day.
Following the emcee through the process, Qin Yao followed wherever he went, eyes glued to him. Qin Yao only snapped out of it when the emcee reminded the distracted Qin Yao to kiss Bai He.
“What’s wrong with you?” Bai He was puzzled: “You’ve been distracted all day today?”
Qin Yao shook his head. He buried his head to kiss Bai He. After a lingering kiss ended, he leaned against Bai He’s forehead and smiled: “My omega is too beautiful; I was stunned.”
Bai He’s face heated up for a moment, and he smiled too.
Nan Yu and Old Master Qin below the stage watched happily.
The rehearsal went smoothly. The next day, as soon as the sky brightened, Bai He opened his eyes and received many messages on his phone.
Xia You: [Happy wedding, Little Bai He! We’re setting off, we’re setting off!!]
Xia Tian: [Happy wedding, Brother Bai He.]
Xia Xiao Miao: [Am I the first to message you? Happy wedding!]
Yi Chen: [Happy wedding!!! Be happy! Ji Feng and I are on the way to the wedding banquet!]
Zhao Linyue: [Coming, on the way. I’ll pick up Kong Yizhou on the way.]
Li Yuzi: [Happy wedding. Sister is really going to your wedding banquet. On the way ing]
Mu Lin: [Ahhh, I’m so excited. My first time attending such a big wedding banquet! Happy wedding, Bai He!!]
Shen Hao: [Seniors 99 (forever).]
Qiu Yao: [Oh my, oh my, I watched you and Qin Yao get together. Be happy!]
Zhou Luoluo: [Morning. Happy wedding.]
……
“What are you looking at, Xiao Bao?” Qin Yao came out of the kitchen: “Go wash up. We have to go to the venue after breakfast.”
“Mm.” Bai He replied to everyone’s blessings one by one, then checked his livestream account. His private messages were never closed. Fans knew about the wedding news, and private messages were all blessings.
Bai He handed the livestream account to Nan-ge, asking him to open it for a while at the venue, as a response to the fans’ blessings.
After an early breakfast, they rushed to the venue. Their wedding was chosen at the city’s most famous park. Behind the park was the boundless sea. The venue setup and stage construction were all ready. Guests entered slowly.
This was the largest wedding venue in the city. Buffet long tables were arranged orderly. The invited guests were all smiles. This day seemed to have no unhappiness. Zhang Yao and Zhou Sheng also waited quietly, without excessive communication or heated arguments.
Backstage, the makeup artist was amazed by Bai He’s face: “Oh my god, you are truly too beautiful. Even though I saw you yesterday, I still have to say, you are the most beautiful groom I’ve ever seen. Of course, our alpha groom is also very handsome.”
Qin Yao beside him laughed: “Although your words are a bit stepping on one to praise another, I agree very much.”
He got up and helped Bai He up, looking down into those beautiful eyes: “My Xiao Bao is the best looking.”
“Newcomers, get ready to enter!” Xia Tian and Xia Xiao Miao pushed open the door. They were Bai He’s groomsmen. The two stood outside the door, smiling and looking into the dressing room.
“Okay, coming.” Bai He responded and stood up. He turned to look at Qin Yao, eyes curved: “My Mr. Alpha, I need to take your arm.”
Qin Yao smiled gently: “My honor, my little Mr. Omega.”
They stepped onto the stage entrance together, slowly entering the stage of marriage amidst the cheers and blessings of the guests below. Flowers and balloons filled the sky. The liveliness and palpitations witnessed their journey all the way.
They exchanged rings under the emcee’s recitation, fingers intertwined, embracing and kissing.
Bai He’s hair rose slightly, carrying the gentle sunlight in the breeze, eyes filled with a happy smile: “Qin Yao, thank you for crossing worlds to find me.”
Gentleness rippled in Qin Yao’s eyes. He leaned over and caressed Bai He’s face: “I caught you.”
The big cat caught his catnip.
