city ​​charmer

The next day, at the airport, the suitcases were being checked in. In front of so many pedestrians coming and going, Bai Ye took the initiative to hug Qiao Lingxi for the first time, and tiptoed to pat Qiao Lingqi's head like a pet.

"Hey~ I'll be back soon, you and Huang Keai are well at home."

Bai Ye smirked, turned his head and was about to leave, but just after taking two steps, he found that the people behind him followed him, staying close to him.

Bai Ye turned to look at Qiao Lingqi, "Just send it here, you can go back."

Qiao Lingxi raised the corners of her lips and smiled slightly, "Who said I sent you here."

"Otherwise?" Bai Ye raised his eyebrows.

"I want to go home with you to meet the parents." Qiao Lingqi smiled innocently.

"Pfft... what did you say?"

Bai Ye was startled in place, staring at Qiao Lingqi in a daze, what are you talking about?go home with him?Meet the parents?What are you doing!

Before Bai Ye had time to say anything, Qiao Lingxi walked forward one step ahead of him. After passing the security check, he was still waving at Bai Ye from the other end, as if it wasn't Bai Ye who was going home, but Qiao Lingqi!

Gritting his teeth, Bai Ye hurried through the security check, and slammed his fist on Qiao Lingqi, "Did you always plan to go home with me? Yesterday you refused to let me go because you wanted to follow, right?"

Qiao Lingxi raised her brows, neither admitting nor denying that yesterday's words of persuasion to Bai Ye were indeed sincere, but he also wanted to accompany Bai Ye on this trip out of sincerity, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed up all night to deal with work last night and rejected it. The itinerary is all set.

"I can't wait to see my parents." Qiao Lingxi smiled.

Bai Ye rolled his eyes at him, "Bah, it really was planned, and you lied to me that you were here to drop off the plane, and just now you lied to me for a hug!"

Still take the initiative to hug!

"How about I pay you back now?"

Qiao Lingxi opened her hands and wanted to hug Bai Ye, but Bai Ye slapped her on the forehead, "No, I'm giving you a kind gift, so you don't have to pay it back!"

"Okay then." Qiao Lingqi withdrew her arms dejectedly, looking like she was at a disadvantage even though she had taken advantage.

Bai Ye stared at Qiao Lingqi's figure, curled his lips, Qiao Lingqi was getting better and better, he was no longer that innocent Qiao Lingqi, he always played tricks on himself!

Bai Ye, who has been at a disadvantage recently, was very dissatisfied. He rolled his eyes, and walked two steps forward to be side by side with Qiao Lingqi, "Qiao~ Remember to call me Grandpa when you arrive at my house."

"Well, that's natural." The daughter-in-law's grandfather is his grandfather!

"Just now I sent a message to my grandpa, telling him that I would bring my granddaughter-in-law home. Grandpa was very happy, and even called the neighbors to come to the house. When you get home, you have to be good, although your height is a bit too high, This figure is a bit majestic, but I believe you can play a good granddaughter-in-law, and do your duty as a granddaughter-in-law! Qiao Lingqi, please meet your parents!"

Bai Ye stared at Qiao Lingqi with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder with a smirk.Bai someone's heart: let you trick me!Make you anxious to see your parents!Then obediently be my grandpa's granddaughter-in-law!

Qiao Lingqi was stunned for two seconds, then she pursed her lips and smiled, leaning into Bai Ye's ear, "I'd love to be your grandpa's granddaughter-in-law, but you..."

Qiao Lingqi whispered a few words in Bai Ye's ear, and even touched someone's buttocks. Bai Ye's face turned red, and he turned to stare at Qiao Lingqi, biting his lips and not speaking, just His face was red up to the neck.

Qiao Lingqi always likes to talk about bed affairs openly!

After getting off the plane, take a taxi to the small town where Bai Ye's family is located. There are many more buildings along the road, which is different from the small town in Bai Ye's impression, or Bai Ye doesn't have much impression of this place at all, so he left here for middle school to go to school in other cities , I was not even sure of the location of my own home, but fortunately the taxi driver was an authentic local, Bai Ye only mentioned a vague location, and the driver took them there too.

The old courtyard gave Bai Ye a sense of familiarity. The people around had almost moved, and occasionally a few tall buildings were pulled up. Bai Ye's house was in the group of old courtyards. The courtyard house was originally one floor, and only Bai Ye's house It is covered with a layer, which is obvious when you look at it.

"That's your home?" Qiao Lingxi pointed to the courtyard with two floors.

Bai Ye nodded, "Well, it's there, but there hasn't been any change."

I haven't been back since middle school, and nothing has changed. When the warm wind blows, the jujube tree in the yard sprouts new shoots.

Pushing open the door, Bai Ye bit his lower lip and walked in first. Qiao Lingxi followed behind him and came up to shake his hand to reassure him.

"Grandpa, I'm back." Bai Ye called to the main room, but no one came out.

"Grandpa? I'm Bai Ye." Bai Ye called out again.

The door of the main room was still closed, but a window was opened on the second floor. An old man with a gray beard poked his head out and waved to Bai Ye. "Come up."

"it is good."

Bai Ye picked up the suitcase, turned to look at Qiao Lingxi, and walked forward together. Bai Ye was still normal when entering the house and closing the door, but when he reached the stairs, he stopped and stood at the stairs without taking a step.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Lingqi looked down at Bai Ye.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Bai Ye gritted his teeth, "It's nothing."

Qiao Lingxi stopped, grabbed Bai Ye's shoulder, and forced him to look into her eyes, "Is there anything else you can't tell me? No matter what, I will always be by your side."

The gentle Qiao Lingqi always has such a strong appeal, making Bai Ye feel endless warmth and comfort, he raised his eyes, "When I was young, my grandfather didn't allow me to go upstairs, this is my limit, I can only In the courtyard and the first floor, you must never go up to the second floor, and you will be beaten every time you step on this step, without exception."

Bai Ye twitched the corner of his mouth slightly as he spoke, and gave a helpless smile, "I've grown up so much, and now I'm a little scared when I see this staircase."

Different from the smile on Bai Ye's face, Qiao Lingqi's brows were tightly frowned, and distress was written all over his face. Although Bai Ye said it so easily, the foot that couldn't move was telling Qiao Lingqi that Bai Ye Ye, he must have suffered a lot of indelible pain to be so frightened when he saw the stairs.

Qiao Lingxi held back the endless distress in her heart, first stepped up to the first floor, and then stretched out her hand to Bai Ye, "Don't be afraid, I will lead you up."

Bai Ye raised his head, was slightly surprised at first, then smiled again, and put his hand on Qiao Lingqi's.Qiao Lingxi led him by the hand, and he finally took a step, walking upstairs step by step.

"Qiao Lingqi, I'm so hypocritical." Bai Ye laughed at himself.

"No, you are endlessly beautiful in my heart." Qiao Lingxi squeezed Bai Ye's palm and comforted her.

Bai Ye glanced at him, "Huh~ You're still the most hypocritical."

Qiao Lingqi smiled, accepted Bai Ye's joke, and the two entered Grandpa Bai's study together.

Old-fashioned furniture, old-fashioned tables and chairs, the huge room is full of bookshelves, full of books, some of which have turned yellow, but are neatly placed.Grandpa Bai sat by the window and nodded slightly when he saw them coming in. Two cups of tea had already been poured on the table, Grandpa Bai motioned for them to sit down.

"Grandpa, I... I'm Bai Ye, and this is my friend Qiao Lingqi."

When he got home, Bai Ye became more reserved and spoke in a tone as if he was visiting someone else's house.

"Well, sit down." Grandpa Bai smiled faintly.

Grandpa Bai was not as vicious as Qiao Lingxi had imagined. He was just an old man with a gray beard. His demeanor was nothing short of ordinary. The only exception was that he was not as close and kind as an ordinary old man.

"Grandpa, how are you doing recently?" Bai Ye was also very cautious after sitting down, but Qiao Lingqi next to him was very relaxed, drinking tea from the teacup on the table.

"Although he has old bones, he is in good health." Grandpa Bai is indeed in good health.

"This is your friend, surnamed Qiao?" Grandpa Bai turned to look at Qiao Lingqi.

"Well, yes, Qiao Lingqi." Bai Ye replied.

"Hi, I'm Bai Ye's friend, Qiao Lingqi."

Qiao Lingxi was much more natural than Bai Ye. He stood up and greeted Grandpa Bai. Compared with Bai Ye's formality, it seemed like Qiao Lingqi was taking Bai Ye home.

"Qiao Lingqi..." Grandpa Bai nodded and said the name again.Then he took a pair of reading glasses from the table, slowly put them on his eyes, and narrowed his eyes to look at Qiao Lingqi.

Grandpa Bai has severe presbyopia. Although he was talking to the two just now, he didn't see their faces clearly. He only knew that the taller one was his grandson's friend, and the shorter one was his grandson.

The glasses were on the bridge of the nose, and his eyes fell on Qiao Lingqi's face through the lenses. After seeing Qiao Lingqi's face, Grandpa Bai's mouth suddenly pulled down with a slight smile, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Your name is Qiao Lingqi!?" Grandpa Bai asked again, with a strange look on his face.

"Yes..., my name is Qiao Lingqi." Qiao Lingqi replied respectfully.

There was some confusion on his face, he had never been here before, why did Grandpa Bai have such an expression.

"Qiao Lingqi...Qiao Lingqi..." Grandpa Bai repeated it over and over again, as if there was something in the name.

Qiao Lingqi frowned slightly, turned to look at Bai Ye, with a questioning look, Bai Ye also looked blank, not to mention that Qiao Lingqi had never been here, even Bai Ye hadn't been back for a long time He is not familiar with Grandpa Bai, so why does he look like he knows Qiao Lingqi's appearance.

"Well, grandpa, my friend..."

"Qiao Lingqi, what's your relationship with Qiao Yi?"

Grandpa Bai ignored Bai Ye, but kept staring at Qiao Lingqi without letting go. The look in Qiao Lingqi's eyes was clearly the eyes of an acquaintance, with some vigilance.

Qiao Lingqi pursed her lips and looked back at Grandpa Bai, "I... don't know Qiao Yi."

"I really don't know you?" Grandpa Bai asked, grabbing Qiao Lingxi's wrist suddenly, but his wrinkled hands were strong.

Qiao Lingxi's face changed, but he didn't fight back, "I really don't know you."

"do not know?"

"do not know!"

"That, Grandpa." Bai Ye stood up abruptly, poured a cup of tea for Grandpa Bai, and took the opportunity to pull Qiao Lingxi to his side. "We have just arrived here and haven't packed our things yet. Which room do you think we will live in tonight?"

Grandpa Bai paused for a long while before turning his head to look at Bai Ye. With an oh, he withdrew his hand and calmed down.

"You guys live downstairs. I'm used to living upstairs by myself. So I haven't touched your room. There are still many rooms, let you choose."

"Okay, Grandpa, I understand." Bai Ye nodded, and hurriedly dragged Qiao Lingxi to go downstairs.

Before going downstairs, Grandpa Bai stared at Qiao Lingqi again, "You look a bit like an old friend of mine. My mind is also confused when I get older. I hope you don't mind."

Qiao Lingqi raised her eyes and smiled slightly, "Of course not, you are Bai Ye's grandfather, and I respect you just like my grandfather."

It means that I respect you because you are Grandpa Bai Ye, otherwise I would have been rude!I don't have the good morals to respect the elderly infinitely!

"Well, let's go downstairs with Xiaoye." Grandpa Bai waved his hand.

When he reached the first floor, Bai Ye let out a long breath and sat on the chair in the lobby, as if he had just finished a tiring job and needed a good rest.

Qiao Lingxi walked over and sat down next to Bai Ye, her expression still not very good.

Bai Ye patted him on the shoulder, "My grandpa's brain is not very good, and it will happen for a while, don't take it to heart, he may have not seen anyone for a long time, and when he saw a strange face, It's easy to get confused."

Qiao Lingxi frowned slightly, "Does your grandfather often do this?"

"Hmm~" Bai Ye looked indifferent, "I'm much better now, maybe I'm getting older, and I'm not so neurotic, but I still look a little neurotic." Bai Ye put his hand next to his head He gestured and laughed.

"It's really a little neurotic." Qiao Lingxi agreed with this point. How could a grandson go home and ignore his grandson but stare at the friends brought back by his grandson.

"By the way, who is Qiao Yi? Your grandfather was a little excited when he mentioned this person." Qiao Lingxi was very interested in this, and turned to look at Bai Ye, who waved his hand.

"I don't know. Grandpa often comes up with strange names and weird things. I told you, he used to be a charmer, and then he didn't know what happened. Anyway, he just nested here. I didn't I met my parents and heard that they died after I was born, and I don’t know how they died, but since I can remember, I lived here with my grandpa.”

"In normal times, he has a cold face and refuses people thousands of miles away. When his brain is burning, he especially loves to use hands. Don't look at the old man's age, it hurts to beat someone! The strength of his hand is stronger than that of a young man. The boys are going to be big!"

Bai Ye clicked his tongue twice and spread his hands. When he said these words, he seemed to be talking about someone else's grandfather, someone else's past, someone else's story. He didn't look sad at all, as if he wasn't the one who was beaten.

However, Qiao Lingxi frowned, and stared at Bai Ye for a while, as if watching this unwanted child being violently beaten by his grandfather, Qiao Lingxi pursed her lips, and suddenly stretched out her hand to pull Bai Ye into her arms, "He hurts you a lot, does he often beat you?"

Regardless of whether Bai Ye hurts or not, Qiao Lingxi is so distressed that his heart is about to break. Hearing what Bai Ye said, he can't wait to go up and beat the old man up, but he knows he can't do that. It makes Qiao Lingxi very annoying!

But the protagonist who was distressed by his heart had a calm expression on his face, Bai Ye pushed Qiao Lingqi away, "Hey, hey, don't be hypocritical, although I was beaten a lot when I was young, but if my old man didn't beat me so often, I would be able to do this Thrive! I still don’t know which street I’m starving to death!”

Qiao Lingqi looked at Bai Ye's nonsense and didn't care about it, and pursed his lips tightly. It's over, Bai Ye, this bastard, made him feel bad!

It hurts to want to rub him into my body!

Hugging Bai Ye tightly, no matter how much he struggled, he would not let go, Qiao Lingxi's eyes were turning red again. "Bai Ye, don't worry, I will accompany you for the rest of my life, love you for the rest of my life, and give you a warm home forever."

Qiao Lingxi spoke slowly, but emotionally.

Bai Ye was taken aback for a moment, his face was stained red, and after a while, he awkwardly pushed Qiao Lingqi away. "Hey, Qiao Lingxi, what are you doing! If you keep being so pretentious, I'll kick you out."

He spoke without any momentum, without the gesture of kicking the other party out, but with a shy expression on his lowered head, Qiao Lingqi hugged him into his arms again.

"Kick it, I'm not afraid of pain." Qiao Lingqi murmured.
