‘The quantity you will have dialled is presently busy…’ the operator stated.
An Xiao Li anxiously waited for one more twenty minutes, and pressed the decision button once more for the thirteenth time however she nonetheless couldn’t get by.
When Chen Yu Bai entered the bed room, he noticed An Xiao Li sprawled on the mattress. Her hair was messy like a loopy individual and he or she constantly pressed the decision button on her telephone.
‘Is there one thing pressing? Why are you redialling? Chen Yu Bai requested.
Chen Yu Bai comfortably tidied the pillows, bedspread and mattress sheet that An Xiao Li left cluttered on the mattress.
‘I don’t know… within the morning Sang Sang requested me to name her each twenty minutes after 9 tonight. She stated even when she doesn’t choose up I have to hold calling her quantity each twenty minutes till she will get house,’ An Xiao Li defined.
An Xiao Li was somebody who at all times stored her guarantees. She referred to as Qin Sang’s quantity once more however misplaced observe of what number of instances she referred to as Qin Sang.
Chen Yu Bai completed placing the pillows again to its unique place, aside from An Xiao Li there wasn’t any muddle left on the mattress. ‘Don’t name anymore.’ He didn’t need to clarify why, however he noticed her anxious look and didn’t really feel snug. ‘At present is Wei Ran’s birthday, Qin Sang is with him.’
An Xiao Li wasn’t impressed with Li Wei Ran. She couldn’t consider he broke the brotherhood code and made his strikes on Qin Sang while Mr Wild was abroad. How was she supposed to clarify to the cute Mr Wild that his fifth brother was a scumbag?
An Xiao Li rolled over to leap out of bed however Chen Yu Bai pulled her again on the mattress. ‘The place are you going?’
‘To search out Sang Sang. If she and Li Wei Ran are doing it, then what about Qin Music?’ An Xiao Li stated.
‘Oh? It looks like you care lots about Qin Music,’ Chen Yu Bai stated coldly.
An Xiao Li felt a gale swept handed her and in her head she pictured she was going to be disciplined till she was unconscious. She faked a candy smile. ‘No, no, no! Not true, not true!’
Chen Yu Bai’s smile was depraved – the bone crunching and meat gnashing form of depraved. ‘Is that so?’
Chen Yu Bai’s voice was light however his grip on An Xiao Li’s wrist tightened.
‘Don’t come any nearer…’ An Xiao Li pleaded.
The remainder of An Xiao Li’s plea was swallowed by Chen Yu Bai’s mouth.
Chen Yu Bai was within the temper. He punished An Xiao Li together with his entire physique and interrogated her about Qin Music on the identical time. He whispered eloquent phrases in her ear at leisure, however when she listened rigorously she heard the repressed want in his tone. His type of punishment fogged her head that she couldn’t even keep in mind who Qin Music was.
The extra An Xiao Li didn’t reply his questions the extra intense he punished her. She trembled and begged him on the identical time. She stated the phrases that he preferred to listen to. Lastly she couldn’t face up to his punishment anymore, she refused to speak and he or she cried.
Chen Yu Bai realised he was too impatient, he swiftly bent his head and kissed An Xiao Li and slowed his physique actions.
An Xiao Li vaguely realised one thing, as soon as she began one thing she couldn’t cease. Her crying progressively grew to become louder, her tears flowed nonstop and on the pillow there was a moist patch of her tears. All of a sudden she felt the depraved ice glacier was completely different to how he was on their first night time. The ice glacier tonight kissed her like light raindrops, he coaxed her gently nonstop and progressively every of his physique actions grew to become gentler.
‘Okay, don’t cry anymore. Xiao Li, Xiao Li… don’t cry,’ Chen Yu Bai whispered.
Chen Yu Bai at all times referred to as An Xiao Li by her full title. Tonight was the primary time she heard him referred to as her by her first title lovingly.
‘Don’t cry…’ Chen Yu Bai whispered nonstop.
Chen Yu Bai stopped his actions and withdrew from An Xiao Li’s physique. The 2 of them laid on the mattress head to head and he gently coaxed her to cease crying.
‘Sooner or later… you’re not allowed to name me a dummy anymore,’ An Xiao Li stated.
‘Um,’ Chen Yu Bai promised.
Chen Yu Bai was shocked that for the primary time in his life he made a promise to somebody with out pondering.
However after Chen Yu Bai promised An Xiao Li to not name her a dummy sooner or later, she actually stopped crying. She hugged his arm and slept. The bed room was quiet and he solely heard her gentle even respiration. Every sound of her respiration made his coronary heart trembled uncontrollably.
That night time Chen Yu Bai realised, every little thing was not inside his expectations. He thought he was caring for a loveable pet however unexpectedly An Xiao Li didn’t eat what he gave her. In reverse she took a chew of his coronary heart… he was ensnared actually badly.
***
On the most well liked day of June.
An Xiao Li pulled up her commencement robe and used it to fan her face. The commencement robe was dishevelled however she nonetheless felt sizzling sporting it. She took some photographs with Xuan Tu and Mac, however the sizzling climate was too insufferable that she hid underneath a big shady tree on a roadside.
Qin Sang sat underneath the identical shady giant tree. She leaned in opposition to the tree, closed her eyes and rested.
An Xiao Li poked Qin Sang’s cheek and laughed a shady chortle. ‘Final night time did you go fruit stealing?’
Qin Sang stored her eyes closed, stretched out an arm and fumbled for An Xiao Li’s arm. Qin Sang discovered her goal, pinched arduous and An Xiao Li whimpered in ache.
An Xiao Li stopped whimpering and assessed Qin Sang’s expression. Qin Sang was grinning and it gave An Xiao Li goose bumps. ‘Qin Sang, in the event you don’t need to inform me, it’s okay. However there’s no want to smile in a scary manner that provides me goose bumps. Fess up, you and Li Wei Ran what stage are the 2 of you at?’
‘For the time being not on the identical stage as you and Chen Yu Bai,’ Qin Sang teased.
Qin Sang teased An Xiao Li’s weak point and An Xiao Li retreated, she didn’t dare proceed poking the bear. An Xiao Li felt fortunate that their classmates referred to as them over to take extra photographs and used that chance to keep away from being grilled by Qin Sang.

Within the assembly room at Liang’s firm, Mr Li junior was reporting a brand new work plan at an unimaginable pace.
Through the assembly a lot of the staff had been curious why Mr Li junior stored his watch however didn’t dare to ask. The assembly completed half an hour early.
The second the assembly ended, Li Wei Ran didn’t hassle packing up his paperwork, took out his automobile keys and needed to bolt. However his third brother swung a chair round and lifted a leg to forestall him from leaving. He dodged his third brother’s annoying leg simply. ‘What’s it? I’m in a rush!’
‘Why are you in a rush? You didn’t handle the principle enterprise!’ Rong Yan scolded. He leaned in opposition to the assembly desk. ‘I received’t point out your sloppy work angle however you whirled by the PowerPoint slides such as you had been battling. What bought into you that bought you all labored up?’
‘At present is my girlfriend’s commencement day. It’s about to begin, after all I have to hurry. Brothers, go simple on me this time. Later I’ll come again and clarify the brand new work plan correctly with everybody,’ Li Wei Ran pleaded.
Rong Yan wasn’t happy, he pulled Li Wei Ran again and Li Wei Ran wrinkled his brow.
Li Wei Ran punched Rong Yan’s chest and Rong Yan launched him. Li Wei Ran needed to deflect the eye off him and focused Chen Yu Bai. ‘Third brother, Xiao Li is graduating right now too. Aren’t you going to go to her commencement?’
‘What recreation are you two enjoying? Are you two holding a category of gorgeous women captive? Did you two at the very least save one woman for me?’ Rong Yan teased.
Normally between the Liang’s sworn brothers there was no want to carry again or cover something. However Chen Yu Bai abruptly stood and whacked Rong Yan’s mouth with the paperwork in Chen Yu Bai’s hand. Rong Yan didn’t dare to tease an offended Chen Yu Bai and hurriedly packed up his personal paperwork. Rong Yan laughed helplessly with Li Wei Ran. ‘I’m not free, if you wish to go then hurry up and go.’
‘Huh?’ Li Wei Ran requested.
Li Wei Ran thought Rong Yan’s work schedule for the day was gentle after the assembly ended and didn’t know why Rong Yan wasn’t free.
Chen Yu Bai watched Li Wei Ran bolt within the course of the carpark however Chen Yu Bai walked in the wrong way.
Chen Yu Bai thought concerning the dummy’s commencement. It appeared just like the previous few days she talked about about it and within the morning when she requested a time off she talked about it once more. Did she hope he would attend her commencement?
Chen Yu Bai felt he wanted to assume it over rigorously what course he needed to take issues. He thought that every little thing was progressing exterior his preliminary expectations.

An Xiao Li was jealous of the way in which Li Wei Ran and Qin Sang interacted with one another. Qin Sang was often chilly and preferred to boss her round. However the second Li Wei Ran confirmed up at their commencement, Qin Sang blushed crimson, grabbed Li Wei Ran’s arm and smiled fortunately. She may clearly see Li Wei Ran and Qin Sang’s shut bond… in contrast to the distant bond she had with somebody who was lacking on her commencement day.
Xuan Tu and Mac sweetly greeted Li Wei Ran however on the within they had been vomiting blood. They each thought what was mistaken with the world? Their dummy pal An Xiao Li caught a uncommon specimen and even the depraved Qin Sang was capable of catch a good-looking and mature man who was friendlier than An Xiao Li’s boyfriend. However what about themselves? They had been each pure and mild Cinderellas, but they had been each single.
Xuan Tu and Mac didn’t dare to threaten the depraved Qin Sang. They stored smiling sweetly at Li Wei Ran till he invited them for a meal. There was an unstated custom that if one in all their classmates discovered a brand new love curiosity then that taken classmate wanted to deal with the one classmates to an costly meal to formally announce the beginning of a brand new relationship.
Li Wei Ran was mesmerised by Qin Sang’s smiles and her leaning fortunately on his arm. ‘After all, it’ll be my honour. After the commencement ceremony I’ll deal with everybody to a feast.’
An Xiao Li stood quietly on the sidelines. Li Wei Ran tried to cheer her up with a smile, however she turned away and pretended she didn’t see something.
The commencement ceremony on the IT school was working easily. All of the graduates formally obtained their certificates. The Chancellor spoke eloquently on behalf of the IT school about how the way forward for their society rested on the shoulders of the brand new graduates and that all of them wanted to contribute to their society to the perfect of their talents. The Chancellor didn’t neglect to encourage the graduates to contribute a beneficiant donation to the IT school in the event that they had been profitable after commencement.
An Xiao Li wasn’t one of many new graduates that listened attentively to the Chancellor’s speech so she wasn’t brainwashed into making a beneficiant donation to her former IT school if on the off probability she had a profitable profession. She was too deep in jealousy. She seen how Li Wei Ran who sat subsequent to Qin Sang was a dutifully attentive boyfriend. He used his handkerchief to wipe sweat off Qin Sang’s face. Qin Sang was embarrassed and tried to keep away from his handkerchief however he pulled Qin Sang nearer and Qin Sang was compelled to oblige.
An Xiao Li who sat behind the lovebirds couldn’t stand the lovey dovey Li Wei Ran anymore. She gritted her enamel and hit arduous on Li Wei Ran’s shoulder. ‘Cease mucking round. You shifting about wildly is an eyesore.’
Li Wei Ran rotated and gave An Xiao Li one other pity smile. Qin Sang wasn’t as sympathetic, she rotated and glared at An Xiao Li to warn An Xiao Li to not mess with Li Wei Ran.
Mac who sat subsequent to An Xiao Li and was enjoying along with her telephone, coldly uncovered An Xiao Li. ‘Is him shifting about wildly making you jealous?’
An Xiao Li pinched Mac’s arm arduous. An Xiao Li’s coronary heart felt clogged. The previous few days she gave delicate hints to Chen Yu Bai to return to her commencement however in the long run he didn’t come. An Xiao Li seeing Li Wei Ran and Qin Sang appearing lovey dovey to loss of life made her offended on behalf of Mr Wild and likewise she was jealous.
An Xiao Li puzzled if Chen Yu Bai simply needed to mess around along with her. But when that was the case why did he select her? A person like him may have any sort of woman, all he wanted to do was wave a hand.
An Xiao Li wasn’t sure Chen Yu Bai was critical about their ambiguous relationship. If he was critical then why didn’t she really feel pleased being with him? Aside from the instances they had been in mattress collectively, she’d by no means seen him deal with her effectively.
An Xiao Li blushed, Chen Yu Bai didn’t deal with her effectively in mattress both. He’d at all times bullied her in mattress too.
‘Hey, why are you blushing?’ Xuan Tu requested. She shook An Xiao Li’s shoulder. ‘Oh… look over there, isn’t that the Vice-Chancellor?’
The Vice-Chancellor stood in the course of the isle trying to find somebody. Qin Sang knew the chancellor was in search of Li Wei Ran and waved to the Vice-Chancellor. She stood and pulled Li Wei Ran up. They each made their manner by the top of their row to greet the Vice-Chancellor.
An Xiao Li noticed the Vice-Chancellor led Li Wei Ran and Qin Sang close to the stage the place the Chancellor sat. An Xiao Li may see the Chancellor’s vast grin when he greeted Li Wei Ran from the place she was sitting. Li Wei Ran launched Qin Sang to the Chancellor. Afterward Li Wei Ran… made an inspiring speech on behalf of Liang’s firm and the feminine graduates within the viewers applauded wildly. An Xiao Li was shocked, Liang’s firm was the largest benefactor of her former IT school. After Li Wei Ran and Qin Sang got here again to their seats and sat down, An Xiao Li hit Li Wei Ran’s shoulder with much less drive than earlier than. Li Wei Ran smiled at An Xiao Li and mouthed two phrases – ‘Gu Yan.’ An Xiao Li understood right away that Gu Yan should have been a former pupil too and that was why Liang Fei Fang authorised a beneficiant contribution to her former IT school.

Li Wei Ran stored his promise and handled Qin Sang, An Xiao Li, Xuan Tu and Mac to a dinner feast at a restaurant after their commencement ended.
At a bar desk of the restaurant An Xiao Li drowned her sorrows and flooded her bladder. She staggered to the toilet and relieved her bladder. On her manner again to the bar desk she took a mistaken flip and exited the restaurant as an alternative.
Outdoors the restaurant An Xiao Li realised the night time sky darkened and the streets had been shiny and energetic. There have been many younger {couples} on dates. The younger males all held their girlfriends’ palms and smiled sweetly while strolling alongside the streets. The lovey dovey sight made her coronary heart bitter… she realised she was sad the entire day.
‘Are you ready to your husband?’ Qin Sang teased.
An Xiao Li rotated and noticed Qin Sang stood behind her. She should have been misplaced in her ideas and didn’t understand how lengthy Qin Sang stood behind her. She pouted her lips. ‘Who says I’ve a husband? It’s apparent I’m nonetheless ready for my prince charming to gallop over a excessive mountain to seek out me right here.’
Prior to now An Xiao Li used to ask Qin Sang why she didn’t need to fall in love, Qin Sang at all times joked – ‘I’m ready for my prince charming to trip on his horse to me. He has to gallop over a excessive mountain and swim by a deep river that’s why he’ll come a bit of late.’
Qin Sang reminisced and remembered she stated the identical factor to An Xiao Li prior to now. They each quietly contemplated for some time. Then Qin Sang pinched An Xiao Li’s cheek. ‘Your prince charming wants to vary his horse. His horse’s galloping pace is simply too gradual.’
‘Um,’ An Xiao Li stated. She pulled Qin Sang again to the restaurant. ‘Today there are too many males masquerading as a prince charming that’s why the roads are clogged.’
An Xiao Li and Qin Sang re-joined the boisterous crowd of drinkers. After some time An Xiao Li didn’t really feel like consuming or consuming anymore and took a taxi house.
Again at house, certainly An Xiao Li was nonetheless not the sort that stayed offended at somebody lengthy. She took out her telephone and referred to as Mr Chen junior.
‘Little Bai! Little Bai? Little Bai…’ An Xiao Li stated.
‘What’s it?’ Chen Yu Bai requested coldly.
An Xiao Li wasn’t stunned that even from a distance Chen Yu Bai’s chilly tone may flip her flushed tipsy face chilly. ‘Hehe… the place are you?’
‘In mattress,’ Chen Yu Bai stated.
An Xiao Li regarded up on the moon by a window. The extra she regarded on the moon the extra it grew to become rounder. ‘Oh? What are you doing in mattress?’
‘In mattress,’ Chen Yu Bai stated.
‘Oh,’ An Xiao Li stated and hung up her telephone to proceed admiring the spherical moon.
Lower than a minute later An Xiao Li’s telephone rang. She answered the telephone, it was Chen Yu Bai. ‘An Xiao Li, you dare cling up on me?’
‘Aren’t you busy in mattress? I don’t need to intrude, it wouldn’t be well mannered,’ An Xiao Li stated.
‘Dummy… the place are you?’ Chen Yu Bai requested.
‘At house,’ An Xiao Li stated.
‘Look ahead to me,’ Chen Yu Bai stated,
‘Oh…’ An Xiao Li stated. She smiled and hung up her telephone.
Chen Yu Bai smiled and hung up his telephone. He bought out of bed and selected an outfit from his cabinet.
