Chapter 53 – You Don’t Have To Say it Twice

Getting up at five o’clock in the morning was too tricky for Jian Songyi. When the alarm clock rang for the fifth time, he frowned and rubbed his hand hard on the pillow. He struggled to sit up as he could not even open his eyes.

But before he could even fully sit up, he was dragged down by an unknown force. He accidentally hit his head and knocked his shoulder over. He took in a sharp intake of breath. Jian Songyi was about to swear as he turned over when he saw Bai Huai.

He found Bai Huai leaning over the headboard with his hand behind his head. Bai Huai looks back at him sheepishly.

He looks too interested in Jian Songyi’s comfort.

After looking at each other for three seconds, Bai Huai glanced down: “Explain?”

Jian Songyi traced down Bai Huai’s line of sight and saw the dead tight knot. With that, he was wholly woken up and reacted quickly: “Bai Huai, why are you still playing bundling? Are you that naive?”

Bai Huai nodded: “Childish, right? Extremely childish and outrageous.”

“…..”

Jian Songyi felt as if he had been scolded just now.

Jian Songyi waved his hand in front of his face innocently: “Forget it. I won’t argue with you about it. Just untie it quickly. It will take another five or six hours to get back to Nancheng. If this takes longer, I think you will have no choice but to stand your father up.”

Bai Huai was in no hurry, though.

He slowly replied, “I woke up and would’ve solved it for five minutes, but I was unable to do it. My ability is still limited, I guess. I had no choice but to trouble Brother Song.”

Your Brother Song didn’t untie it for 20 minutes last night.

Jian Songyi pretended to know nothing and looked innocent: “If you can’t solve it, then what are you suggesting?”

Bai Huai’s eyes fell on his collar: “This bathrobe is loose enough. Even if the belt is tight, if you work hard, you should be able to get out of your clothes.”

“…..”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to put in the effort. We can just call the room service and have them open this for us.”

It sounded like a good idea.

But if they’re going to be seen in this embarrassing state by outsiders, Young Master Jian Songyi would prefer to die in place, so he might as well wiggle his way out himself.

He looked at Bai Huai with a straight face and a cold tome: “Close your eyes.”

“I am nearsighted.”

“Bullshit! It’s not like I don’t know about your glasses. There’s no degree at all! “

Bai Huai was not shameful even after getting proved that he was lying. He only raised a brow at Jian Songyi: “Ah, I’ve been discovered then? It’s fine.”

He placed his face against a pillow and closed his eyes.

Jian Songyi made sure that Bai Huai’s eyes were closed before beginning to find a way to take the robe off of his body.

He pulled off the collar first, and then the black satin slipped from his shoulders all the way to his waist.

He was thin, narrow, and long, while his bathrobe was silky and smooth. With that being said, it was easy to pick it up off his upper half. But e had a belt stuck at his waist and dragged it down to his hip, so he got stuck and couldn’t take it off.

He wanted to change direction, but he would need to pull his leg out. Unfortunately, his leg is too long to make the right move, so he had no choice but to simply stand up and wait for the bathrobe to slip off him completely.

For that course of decision, Jian Songyi had forgotten an important part. His belt was still tied with Bai Huai’s. As a result, the moment he stood up, he just helplessly fell down.

Jian Songyi fell on top of Bai Huai.

Bai Huai held out his hand and clasped it against Jian Songyi’s figure firmly. He opened his eyes and said with an endearing smile, “You took off your clothes and threw yourself into my arms?”

Jian Songyi’s upper body is now completely bare, So Bai Huai’s hands are directly buckled against his waist, his palms feeling his bare skin. And because of that, Jian Songyi’s ears redden. “Don’t make fun of me this early in the morning. Can’t you be a nice person? Or should I just shake it all out in front of your father later?

He said that so strongly since he wanted to finally get rid of Bai Huai along with these stupid slippery sheets. 

But because of his fall, it had gotten more complicated. Jian Songyi has now tangled himself up with the sheets as well. And since they are slippery, he performed a hamster pedal wheel in place.

Every time he would try to get up, he would fall back down.

He was replanted back to Bai Huai and his ears could only redden every time it happens in continuation.

When Bai Huai noticed how red Jian Songyi’s ears are, he smiled and said, “Alright. Stop it. I have a knife. I’ll do it for you.”

It was only then that Jian Songyi realized that Bai Huai had just gotten up. He was not clear-headed and Bai Huai took advantage of it to tease and bully him. Jian Songyi was furious and hammered him in the face with a direct punch.

“Bai Huai, I must beat you to death today!”

Bai Huai gently caught Jian Songyi’s fist. He slowly placed it down before pulling him by the waist within a click. It forced Jian Songyi to stick close to him. With their body close to each other, their faces were only within centimeters in distance. For just the slightest movement, their lips would eventually reach other.

Jian Songjyi tried to relax his nerves and dared not to move.

Bai Huai smiled mischievously: “Beat me to death? Then what would you do for the rest of your life?”

“Eat and drink well. I’d even take a walk all the way to the White Horse Club.” Jian Songyi replied as to not go too far, but he deliberately plans on ignoring him after.

“Why are you so heartless?”

“You are angering me early in the morning.”

Bai Huai loosened his hold on him and rubbed his head fondly: “I do not want to angry you. If ever, I just want to impress you. So, don’t forget what I am going to say next…”

“What?”

Jian Songyi turned his face to fully look up at him.

Bai Huai put away his playful look and looked directly into his eyes: “I will never leave without saying a word again. I promise you.”

‘I promise you’ Bai Huai said those words very solemnly.

Jian Songyi knew that he could never hide whatever he is thinking from Bai Huai, but he was so embarrassed that he could not look back at him. “Who even cares?”

“Well, we could say no one, but why did you tie me up?”

Bai Huai is taking Jian Songyi as a meal.

Bai Huai narrowed his eyes at him: “Does it mean that it’s actually because our Brother Song has this kind of taste? It’s a bit special, but I’m not incapable of cooperating.”

Jian Songyi is easily plastered and used to be brothers with Bai Huai, and yet, he can still make such a joke? They crossed the path and their relationship would never be clean again. As soon as Jian Songyi heard this remark, he could not help making up the picture, enough to make him ashamed and angry again.

He picked up his fist and was ready to shut up the beast, but he was pre-emptively struck by Bai Huai. Bai Huai held his fist with one hand and then placed it on the back of his head. All before connecting their lips together again.

Jian Songyi: “…You fucking…!”

He was cut off with another peck.

“You’re not fucking don-!”

And another one.

“I really-!”

And another one.

Jian Songyi was completely forced to stop talking as his ears turned red as the rising sun from the east.

Bai Huai appreciated his cooperation and chuckled: “If you tried to pick a fight with me again, then we will quarrel. I will keep kissing you until you stop fighting.”

“You get out of here.”

This time, the statement was not too angry.

But it was very useful. Bai Huai dug out a knife from the nightstand, cut the belt, and really went to the bathroom.

Jian Songyi was left alone with his thoughts, blushing furiously like a tomato.

Hasn’t he not promised Bai Huai anything yet? How can he be so aggressive? Does he know he likes him? Has he said it already? 

The more he thinks about it, the more annoyed he became.

Then he had made up his mind that he will never agree to spend the rest of his life with Bai Huai.

Once angry and then soon enough coaxed, Jian Songyi took his time to clean up in the shower. Once done, he sent a WeChat to Xu Jiaxing, explaining the situation they have at hand. He also informed him that they should only take that special car that the resort sent when they’re going to return to Nanwai.

It was really hard to get up early. He was so tired that he immediately fell asleep once they’ve gotten on the ride. When Jian Songyi woke up, they had already reached their destination.

It is an old-school teahouse with elegant and simple architecture display.

It is very similar to a place that Bai Han will choose.

Walking into the booth, there was a man sitting by the window as he flipped through a document.

The sun carved from the window, which hid the man’s face hidden but vaguely sketched out his outline: handsome, slender, and temperament cold.

When the man header the door make a noise, he didn’t look up and only said indifferently, “Ten minutes late.”

 “I thought it was just a light meal between father and son, so there was no need to be critical.” There is a touch of mockery in Bai Huai’s tone. 

The man by the window closed the folder and looked over him, still without emotion: “Bai Huai, you are very rude.”

“I thought it was polite to send basic greetings on my birthday.”

“I was in the desert.”

“I don’t really care.”

“I thought you were here to admit your mistake, but it seems that you’re trying to take that attitude on me.”

“No, I am not here to admit anything. I am just here to make a point.”

The tone of father and son was the same indifference and careless mockery.

Bai Han finally placed down the folder he was holding. He got up and slowly walked in front of Bai Huai. He stood still and looked at him with all authority. It was no doubt that he has this strong presence: “Bai Huai, you are not qualified to take a stand in front of me.”

The man who is already over the age, who is also God’s favorite, has no trace of white hair and old age. His body is firm and strong still with a handsome look. He looks as if he’s just thirty. 

And Bai Huai grew well. Mostly his father’s same facial features. Especially the same narrow and deep eyebrows, and frivolous temperament.

It’s only after years of experience that he looks more indifferent and strong. Not to mention his slender figure and mature posture.

Jian Songyi has to admit that this very attractive-looking man is also knowledgeable, talented, powerful, and well-bred. 

But the faint sentence from his father: “You are not qualified to take a stand in front of me” is also strong and overbearing, and is enough to conclude that even if Bai Huai is already mature, he is still too young.

However, Bai Huai doesn’t show signs of backing down any time soon. He slightly put on a small smirk before saying, “I am eighteen years old.”

“Yes, you are eighteen years old, but you can’t pay for all of your expenses on food, clothing, housing, and transportation.”

Bai Huai doesn’t falter. He kept his posture high. And while his father’s statement does sound about correct, he still doesn’t want to surrender.

But Jian Songyi was extremely upset because of this.

Why is Bai Huai so pretentious? No one can pretend to force him in front of Jian Songyi. Not Bai Huai or even his father.

So before Bai Huai continued his tit-for-tat confrontation with his father, Jian Songyi suddenly smiled: “Uncle, I think you have a point.”

Bai Huai was clearly not afraid of his father, but Jian Songyi did not want to be angry in front of the great Bai Han. Jian Songyi wanted to drag Bai Huai behind him, but he did not move. Instead, he only raised his chin and smile slightly before saying with an unreasonable tone: “According to your wishes, that is, whoever provides Bai Huai with food, clothing, shelter, and transportation can talk to him about his position. So I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll take care of him. I’ll be his master. “

With that, he didn’t bother to look at Bai Han’s reaction and patted Bai Huai on the shoulder: “Let’s eat first. I’m starving to death. You can rest assured that you can eat boldly. I’ll feed you.”

Bai Huai looked at him and smiled: “Okay then I’ll have to eat more.”

With these words, the two men really opened their chairs, sat down at the table, and ate the food slowly that Bai Han had ordered.

The first thing they need to do is to make sense of the situation and be more aggressive. Jian Songyi and BaiHuai probably can’t beat Bai Han, and when he gets serious about arguing, they don’t have much chance of winning. They ought to just suffer for nothing.

So it is better not to reason.

Bai Han pays most attention to etiquette and decency, he doesn’t talk about it, but it annoys him to death.

He is not his son anyways. Bai Han could not do anything about him. He dares to say one more word and Jian Songyi would turn and tell Mr. and Mrs. Jian that they should trouble Bai Han for three days and three nights straight.

Moreover, he is not afraid of Bai Han’s anger. If he had made up his mind, he could just ignore it and keep it to himself. It was not as if he could not afford it. His family has money and it is more than enough for Bai Huai to marry and buy a house.

Jian Songyi can’t let Bai Huai suffer from this idleness. He can’t let Bai Huai leave Nancheng. 

Bai Huai said nothing about it so far. He simply has this indulgent smile as he eats slowly.

In fact, in that long phone call yesterday, after the tit-for-tat tug-of-war between father and son, they both compromised and made concessions, and all the agreements to be discussed have been negotiated already. Today is just for formality.

The main purpose of today is to let Bai Han meet the present Jian Songyi.

It’s just normal that their father and son relationship is to not deal with each other. Whenever they met, they don’t really pay attention to the word the other one is saying. But the fact that Jian Songyi gave him such a big welcome gift for his future father-in-law is such a shock.

Seeing Jian Songyi’s appearance in protecting his son, made Bai Han so happy that he felt that having a meal with them was worth it. Jian Songyi just told him that they don’t need him and that he can support themselves. Well, it made the soft rice extra delicious. 

In the end, Bai Han is a person who has experienced great hardships still, so it is still ideal for him to control the trajectory of Bai Huai’s life. So he is not guilty of being reckless with Jian Songyi, who is in fact sitting across him: “You are an Omega?”

Jian Songyi tried to be indifferent and yet polite: “Yes, I am an Omega.”

Bai Han nodded: “At that time, it was a private organization run by your mother’s friend. Two years ago, because he received many reports that the test results were wrong, he was investigated. It turns out that he was operating without a license and was directly banned in an instant.”

“…..”

“It was not that big of a news, so I guess your mother didn’t know.”

It might not be really a big deal since Jian Songyi’s mother has a big heart as well.

The subtext is a mistake that could have been avoided, but because of Mrs. Tang Qingqing, a pure silly white sweet lady, he didn’t know anything about it until now.

And Bai Han knew it clearly, but because Bai Huai had been divided, he felt that it was none of his own business and did not mention a word.

Jian Songyi didn’t know how to express it for a moment.

Garbage organization. They destroyed my youth. Strange parents, they made him miss his future.

When he was a child, he wanted and strived to be the Alpha of the Alphas every day, and he planned to marry the Omega back home to be his wife.

As a result, he is bullied by Bai Huai every day.

And be ridiculed by Bai Huai’s father.

Jian Songyi suddenly lost his temper.

However, Bai Han said faintly: “But I think this may not be a bad thing. You are growing up very well now. There’s also a blessing that comes from mistakes.”

“…..”

Jian Songyi originally thought that he had messed around enough and that Bai Han was bound to suppress his arrogance. Thus, he didn’t expect him to say such a statement to him.

He choked on his own saliva for a moment, so he could only pretend to answer carelessly, “Well, thank you, Uncle Bai.”

Bai Han then clenches his jaw while standing up. He fastened his suit before saying, “I have something important to do, so I won’t be able to accompany you for the whole time now.”

He walked slowly to the door, but when he was directly across it, Bai Han suddenly remembered something and looked back at Bai Huai: “I hope you remember our agreement.”

Bai Huai did not raise his head and said coldly and firmly, “Don’t worry.”

The sound of footsteps went away.

“What agreement did you make with your dad?”

“I’ll tell you later.”

Jian Songyi: “Okay.”

After drinking a spoonful of soup, “But I don’t think your father seems to be that kind. He can even praise me.”

As soon as the words were finished, the door was knocked and the waiter came in with the list: “Hello, sir, the gentleman who just went out said that you will pay the bill. The total cost is 1108, may I ask whether you will pay in cash or by credit card?”

Jian Songyi: “… Pay by card. “

“Yes, sir. Enjoy your meal.”

Bai Huai looked at the indescribable simplicity of his shocked feature and chuckled: “I forgot to tell you, but my father is like this. You don’t have to tell him twice. If you say that it’s your treat then it is your treat. If you say that you will support me, then he will not give me a penny.”

Jian Songyi: “….”

Bai Huai propped up his head and said with a smile, “so Master Jian, when you said that you will support me, you must keep your word and not be irresponsible.”

“…Do you…want to consider hanging at the sea?”
