It was midsummer, and the water lilies in the pond were just half open. The Japanese ivy climbed and covered a whole wall in the garden. The lemon tree in the yard emitted its fresh scent and provided cool shade to any bystander.

Qi Xun had just returned from school.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

As a second-year senior high school student, he was supposed to stay at the dorm. But as he was not accustomed to living in a crowded dormitory, he acted more like a commuter student.

As soon as he entered the house, he did not see his parents or servants in the living room. When he scanned the room, his gaze met a pair of eyes that were as round and crystal clear as two glass marbles. FR8Z3O

On the sofa in his living room, there was a thirteen-or fourteen-year-old boy with a pale and smooth face, dark hair, and red lips. The quiet-looking kid was wearing a white shirt.

Qi Xun’s family had just changed the living room’s style recently. His mother, Xu Jingwan, remodeled the background to this French style in the color of indigo, making the boy in the living room appear like a pearl pushed up the shore by the ocean wave.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and knew this was a guest. But his parents did not mention this to him, so he did not know which family this kid belonged to.

The boy was also very cautious. He blinked for a long time without talking.

Qi Xun did not have the patience to deal with unexpected guests, but he could not turn a blind eye by going straight to his room.

He hung his bag on the stand and walked to the sofa. The boy’s eyes followed him. Once they were face to face, the kid shrank back and called out, “Hello, gege.”

Qi Xun made a sound for a reply.

It was rare for him to be called gege so adorably, as several of his cousins were not masters of stationery. They have caused havoc in the house since they were young and have behaved only after being disciplined by his fists. Whenever they saw him, they squeezed out “Brother” from their throats before quickly escaping like a mouse seeing a cat. DaXuZs

But the one before him was very well-behaved and had a very soft-looking face.

He thought for a moment and asked, “I don’t seem to have seen you before. What is your name?”

As the boy was about to open his mouth to reply, he was interrupted by the sound of someone entering through the living room’s door.

It was Xu Jingwan. 6R7vbD

She just came back after answering a business call. When she saw Qi Xun was already back and sitting on the sofa, she immediately smiled. “Oh, you are back.”

The living room of Qi Xun’s family had recently changed its style, and was made into a French blue background by Xu Jingwan. The boy was sitting in the living room, looking like a pearl, being held up on the waves.

Qi Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that there was a guest at home.

She put her hand on Bai Xi’s shoulder and introduced the guest to Qi Xun with all smiles. G9fS74

Qi Xun could not hide the gloomy emotion in his eyes.

It was not that he did not like the boy, but staying in the house was another matter. He did not like outsiders invading his space.

At dinner, Qi Xun learned why the boy was staying in his house. GvCmYQ

The Bai family’s elder was an old acquaintance of his grandfather. The Bai family had been doing business and living in other parts of the country and had just returned this year, so the elders naturally reconnected again.

While he was busy with school, his parents had become familiar with the Bai family.

Now it was summer vacation for the junior high school students, and the Bai family’s parents would be out of town for business. Their little daughter went to her close friend’s place for vacation very early on, leaving Bai Xi at home with the nanny.

Xu Jingwan had a soft spot for Bai Xi. Upon learning this, she was distressed instantly. She went to talk with the boy’s parents and asked simply to have their son live in her house for a while. hHCr86

Xu Jingwan added vegetables to Bai Xi’s bowl and informed Qi Xun, “You need to remember to take good care of didi, all right? Your father and I are busy with work, and you will be on summer vacation soon. You need to spend more time with him.”

Qi Xun did not agree or refuse.

He glanced at the boy again, who was also looking at him. Bai Xi was still the spitting image of a good boy, as small dimples appeared on his face when he smiled.

Xu Jingwan shared more background information on Bai Xi earlier. The boy was older than he thought. Bai Xi was fifteen years old, but he looked like a child with his appearance, especially as he sat across from Qi Xun. GUx1C6

They were not even three years apart. He had the silhouette of an adult, while Bai Xi appeared as if he had not started his puberty.

Xu Jingwan gently nudged him again. “Did you hear me?”

“Yes, and understood.”

The one in front of me was obedient and had a soft face.
But the one before him was very well-behaved with a very soft face.
He thought for a while and asked, “I don’t think I’ve seen you before. What’s your name?”
He thought for a moment and asked, “I don’t seem to have seen you before. What is your name?”
Just as the boy was about to speak, there was another sound of the door being pushed in the living room.
As the boy was about to open his mouth to reply, he was interrupted by the sound of someone entering XMY7TG

Qi Xun lowered his eyes to drink soup. That was his way of agreeing.

Five days later, the senior high school also started their summer vacation.

This was when Qi Xun learned that the senior high school that Bai Xi was going to attend was the same one in the provisional capital where he was studying. Z04GdW

But after a few days of getting along, Qi Xun was no longer impatient with Bai Xi. He found that the boy was much less troublesome than he thought, as the other rarely bothered him.

What he saw the most was Bai Xi reading in the garden. Sometimes, he would be talking to someone who appeared to be his childhood friend over the phone.

When he looked down from the upstairs window, all he saw was Bai Xi smiling brightly. Bai Xi’s lips opened and closed as if the number of words coming out of his mouth was too much to be contained. He was more lively than when interacting with Qi Xun, where he was usually quiet. One of his bare feet was on the porch swing as it swung slightly. The jasmine next to him was in full bloom, so he picked one to hold in his hand.

Qi Xun watched him from the window for a while. bFdz8x

He had a mug filled with coffee in his hand, but he did not take a single sip. The window he was looking out of was half open. The breeze, wrapped in flowery fragrance, blew on his face. He could not hear what Bai Xi was saying, but he could hear the other’s laughter.

After a while, Bai Xi changed his posture to lie on the seats, but as soon as he looked up, he spotted Qi Xun by the window.

Two people, one window, and two pairs of eyes exchanged looks.

Bai Xi was slightly afraid of Qi Xun. This gege had always been cold, serious, and rarely smiled. He hardly goes out of his way to start a conversation with Qi Xun. OvF8dz

As soon as he saw Qi Xun looking at him, he got cold feet at the idea of lying down. He sat properly at once on the swing like a good boy and even waved back.

It was not until Qi Xun disappeared from the window that he was relieved and lay down lazily.

Now that the third grade of junior high school is on summer vacation, Bai Xi’s parents have to stay away from home for a while, and their youngest daughter has already gone to her best friend’s place for vacation, leaving Bai Xi at home with the nanny.
Now it was summer vacation for the junior high school students, the Bai Family’s parents would be out of town for business. The little daughter went to her close friend’s place for vacation very early on, leaving Bai Xi at home with the nanny.
Xu Jingwan had always liked Bai Xi, but when she saw this, she immediately felt extremely distressed. She told Bai’s parents that she would let Bai Xi stay at her house for a while.

Liang Song did not hear his reply after a long time and asked, “What are you doing? Why are you not talking? Is your signal not good?” fO7Ru6

Bai Xi replied, “No, Ms. Xu’s son was upstairs a moment ago. Our eyes met, so I said hello to him.”

If you consider waving as saying hello. 

“Ah, I see.” This piqued Liang Song’s interest. “Is her son easy to get along with? I remember you saying he was a tough-looking one. He is not bullying you, is he?”

“No,” Bai Xi flung the jasmine upward for fun. “He is not as kind and gentle as Ms. Xu, but he is not mean. He just does not pay much attention to me. ” VwcSgL

When that was brought up, he pouted unhappily.

Liang Song could hear his friend’s mood from his tone. “Then ignore him. You are only staying there for a few days anyway. Once I am free, I will come to find you and take you to my uncle’s place for vacation.”

Bai Xi did not take up the other’s offer, and he just said in a grievance, “But I want him to pay attention to me.”

“Why?” Liang Song was puzzled. FkJBQK

“Because he is very good-looking.” In a confident tone, Bai Xi praised “I very much like the good-looking ones.”

Liang Song: “…”

He had never met such a face-con before.

He found this strange. It was fine if Bai Xi liked beautiful young ladies, why the googly eyes for the good-looking, handsome men as well? mGAfpi

to be his childhood friend, over the phone.
He looked down from the window upstairs and saw Percy smiling brightly, opening and closing his lips, talking so much that he couldn’t stop himself. He was much more lively than the quiet one in front of him, with his bare feet on the swing, In a blink of an eye, the jasmine next to it was blooming, and he picked one out and played with it.

Qi Xun watched him from the window for a while.

No matter how beautiful a person was, Bai Xi was still a man.

So Liang Song was not convinced. “How handsome is he? More handsome than A’Tang-ge?”

A’Tang-ge is the ideal male god in Bai Xi’s heart. QZpzgO

But Bai Xi hesitated after thinking for two seconds.

“It’s difficult to say,” Bai Xi lamented, “I can’t tell.”

The author has something to say.
