Your Rival in Love Gets Prettier Every Day
Chapter 199: JinQiu Husband Came to Show His Love [Extra: Bai Yueguang (8)]

Xichuan Prefecture No. 2 Junior High was full of people today. More than 3,000 people have gathered as they sat on the benches of the new playground. The playground was surrounded by banners and colorful balloons. On the podium, the dean was holding a microphone as he directed orders.

Xiaoyu, a third year, secretly pulled her best friendâs arm: âBai Qingquan is coming. Come with me to the gate. Fan Hong and the others in the next class have already run over.â  

âWonât he sit on the podium when the meeting is held?â

âThatâs too far away. Donât you want to see him up closer? Itâs Bai Qingquan!â

Her best friend was successfully persuaded by her, and the two quietly left the playground arm in arm.

It was chaotic today because everyone knew Bai Qingquan was coming. Many people had come to the school today so they could see him. It was the first time that a big star has rose from a small county, and it was their own Xichuan County!

The two of them ran to the gate and saw dozens of girls were already gathered there, waiting for Bai Qingquan. The conference was about to begin so Bai Qingquan should arrive shortly.

They waited at the gate for a few minutes when suddenly a scream from the office building was heard. Xiaoyu turned to look and saw a group of people swarming over.

It turned out that Bai Qingquan had arrived a long time ago and went to the principalâs office.

âBai Qingquan, Bai Qingquan, Bai Qingquan!â

People surrounded him as they shouted his name. Xiaoyu loosened her grip on her friendâs hand and kept squeezing into the crowd. Bai Qingquan was wearing a long down jacket and a baseball cap. The brim of the hat was very low, and he was dressed extremely low-key, but he still looked dazzling to her.

His face was fair and small, matching the size of his head. His shoulders were wide, and his body was long. When he smiled, it was like a spring breeze that cause flowers to bloom wherever he goes.

How could there be such a good-looking person like this in this world? Compared with the boys in their class who canât even dress, this was like an immortal, descending to earth. For the first time in her life, she saw a real star and only one thought came to her mind: stunning!

âSenior Bai Qingquan!â she shouted excitedly.

Hearing this, Bai Qingquan glanced at her with a smile and said: âHello, junior*.â

*He calls her [Xuemei] (å¦å¦¹) which refers to girls that are younger than their own grade in school. (Though heâs no longer in school, heâs still an alumnus thus why he used this term).

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Bai Qingquan actually responded to her!

Xiaoyu almost fainted from excitement and looked back at her best friend with a flushed face: âDid you hear?! Did you hear?!â

Her best friend though ignored her and only excitedly followed the crowd towards Bai Qingquan.

Several security guards surrounded Bai Qingquan as they walked towards the new playground. The school leaders and other honorary alumni followed with smiles, looking at the group of craze students in front of them.

These days, being a big official in scientific research wasnât as good as being a celebrity.

There was a small stand on the north side of the schoolâs playground and the podium was located on it. Bai Qingquan stopped at the entrance and turned back to wait for the dean and the rest. Many students on the playground recognized him as someone shouted âBai Qingquanâ, causing him to smile as he waved his hands towards them.

The whole playground became restless suddenly, especially the girls, who screamed excitedly.

After the dean and the others got on the podium, Bai Qingquan followed and took a seat. At his own request, he sat on the center-left position behind two seniors. They were both graduates from here. One was a senior government official, while the other was a well-known professor who graduated from Fudan University*.

*Extremely prestigious university in China. 

These two were good students who were diligent in their studies, while he was just a slacker who couldnât learn properly.

The reason why he agreed to participate in this celebration was because it was the 50th anniversary of his alma mater. Furthermore, the school leaders have been sincere in inviting him because of the scholarships and grants he had sent up for the school, which will began distributing this year. While there werenât many scholarships, six in a year, there were more grants, which was the focus on his funding this time. From the first year of junior high to the third year, he selected 60 poor students every year, in addition to the six who won scholarships, and provided a considerable amount of financial aid.

Bai Qingquan said on stage: âBefore I came here today, I saw someone comment on me online saying that I was a slacker and didnât go to high school. Now that Iâm a big star with both fame and fortune, isnât it ironic for me to encourage students to study hard?â

There was a burst of laughter in the audience, and Bai Qingquan also smiled: âI donât know if any of you younger brothers and sisters here will have the same idea, but I want to tell you that even if I am in the showbiz industry, I have been attacked for my family background and my lack of education. I have always felt that if I learn more and possess more knowledge, I might be even more successful and do better. Therefore, I hope that every junior brother and sister can cherish and enjoy your campus life. Your junior high era is a really hard and beautiful time that will be unforgettable for all your life.â

His speech was read from a manuscript that was half written by his team and half that he changed himself. After he finished reading, he talked about the scholarships and grants, the main focus of his trip.

âI come from a family with poor conditions. When I was in school, I witnessed many students around me dropped out of school early to work because of poverty. Now that the living conditions are better, and our county has also taken off the hat of being a poor county, while thereâs few families that couldnât afford to go to school, thereâs still many poor families. After I heard about it, I wanted to do my part. Anyone who goes to school in No. 2 Junior High, regardless of whether they are a freshman or senior, regardless of their grades, as long as their family conditions are difficult, they can apply for financial aid. Iâve talked with Principal Liu and he also promised me that this payment is absolutely transparent and fair. I hope that every child in Xichuan County, both boys and girls, will spend their youth on campus.â

Shi Lei stood in the far corner of the playground, looking at the podium. The winter sun shone warmly on Bai Qingquan. He was so far away that he couldnât see his face clearly, but sitting among a group of middle-aged men, his skin was particularly glowing.

He and Bai Qingquan were both people who have dropped out of school. He felt that Bai Qingquan was beautiful and kindhearted. His heart was as pure and graceful as his appearance.

Since meeting, Bai Qingquan has become a fairy in his mind. Real people are always more attractive than they look on screen.

Just by looking at him, his heart was beating violently, and it would react when thought that he could get him one day. He felt that Bai Qingquan was an unspeakable existence, and clearly regarded him as a god, but he wanted to drag him back into the world.

After the celebration conference was held, it was half past eleven. Today, all the food in the cafeteria was free and the food was extremely rich. After Bai Qingquan, the school leader, and others finished lunch, he went back to the Baiâs house again, and then took a car back to Nancheng with his team.

Before going back, he didnât go to see Shi Lei. He only sent him a message and asked him to meet in Nancheng.

He hadnât even arrived in Nanchent yet, when Shen Jintai had called him several times in a row. Today was December 11th, which was his birthday. This was a date that even the moonlight powders didnât know about, and it was also the first time in the past few years that Bai Qingquan would celebrate it on this day.

Shen Jintai didnât make an appointment with outsiders, only Zheng Siqi. When he was about to go out, he asked Yan Qiuchi: âAre you really not going?â

âI think Bai Qingquan is a little afraid of me, and heâs uncomfortable when I go. Iâll let the three of you get together. Call me before you leave, and Iâll pick you up.â

Yan Qiuchi had made an appointment with Shen Ruhai and his wife for dinner today.

Bai Qingquanâs real birthday has always been kept secret from the outside world so it couldnât be celebrated on a grand scale, but Shen Jintai also did his best to organize it in a different way. According to Bai Qingquanâs request, besides them two, only Zheng Siqi would be invited.

However, celebrating a birthday was obviously no longer the focus. The focus lies on the senior Bai Qingquan had met again.

âSenior? Which senior?â Zheng Siqi asked.

âWhen Qingquan used to go to school, a senior chased him,â Shen Jintai said: âAfter many years, he actually met him again when he returned to his alma mater this time.â

âWhat does this mean? Are you going to fall in love?â Zheng Siqi asked.

Bai Qingquan said: âNo, no, I just didnât expect to meet him when I went back this time.â

Although the three of them are good friends, he still treats Zheng Siqi and Shen Jintai a bit differently. Zheng Siqi was relatively simple and upright, and heâs straight. The shadow of his alt incident was still there so he pays great attention to his image in front of Zheng Siqi. However, Shen Jintai was different. He regards him as a sister so he would tell him anything.

He plans to wait until itâs just the two of them before having a good chat with Shen Jintai.

The three of them havenât worked recently, so they drank uncontrollably. In the end, they got too drunk to even eat cake. They lied there drunkenly on the sofa, resting and leaning against each other. It felt like they were having some shady party, so much so, that when Yan Qiuchi came to pick them up, he saw the colorful lights flashing and balloons floating all over the ceiling that his face blackened.

The cups and plates on the table were a mess, as if it was a forest of wine and meat.

Both Bai Qingquan and Zheng Siqi were a little afraid of Yan Qiuchi as he always been relatively upright and noble in front of them. Zheng Siqi took the lead and sat up and patted Shen Jintai to rouse him. As a result, he accidentally touched Shen Jintaiâs ass causing Yan Qiuchiâs face to turn even darker before he said: âWhy did you drink so much?â

âWe didnât drink much, itâs just⦠the three of us have an average alcohol tolerance,â Zheng Siqi said.

Shen Jintai and Bai Qingquan also sat up. As soon as Shen Jintai saw Yan Qiuchi, he smiled and stretched out his arms to hug him. When Yan Qiuchi went over to help him, he put his arms around Yan Qiuchiâs waist and looked up at him with a flushed face: âMy husband is here.â

Yan Qiuchiâs ears were flushed with this call. While Zheng Siqi didnât feel anything, Bai Qingquan was shocked, because in his mind, he felt Shen Jintai displayed a very gongly aura just now.

He always thought that he was more of a heroic sister!

Yan Qiuchi pretended to be calm and said: âLetâs go. Iâm here to pick you up.â

As he said, he helped Shen Jintai up. Of the three of them, Shen Jintai was obviously the most drunk and couldnât stand upright.

âHow are you two getting back?â Yan Qiuchi asked: âDo you want me to send a car for you?â

âNo, no, we all have drivers,â Zheng Siqi said.

âThen I will take him first,â Yan Qiuchi glanced at the screen in front of him. The screen was still playing songs automatically. He didnât know who ordered âQinghu Meiâ. Not to mention the seductress singing it, the lyrics were quite inappropriate for children as it sang provocatively: âShake, shake.â

He frowned and carried Shen Jintai away on his shoulders.

Bai Qingquan looked back in amazement.

Yan Qiuchi walked into the corridor outside, only to realize that this would not work, so he put Shen Jintai down again. Shen Jintai was standing against the wall, his body almost limp. Yan Qiuchi pressed him with one hand, quickly took off his coat, wrapped Shen Jintai up like a bag, then carried him again.

As Shen Jintai was lying on Yan Qiuchiâs shoulders, his face shrank into his coat as he vaguely saw a little light and suddenly, he twisted and said: âAh, what are you doing? I said to let me rest todayâ¦â

âBe good,â Yan Qiuchi slapped him on the ass and he immediately quieted down.

After putting Shen Jintai in the car, Yan Qiuchi pulled off his coat and threw it in the back seat. He fastened Shen Jintaiâs seat belt and said: âItâs more difficult to get you to call me husband than to ascend heaven. Today, you just opened your mouth in front of outsiders.â

If he knew it would be this easy, he wouldâve gotten Shen Jintai to drink before going to bed.

Shen Jintai smiled stupidly at him, his eyes were in a daze.

âDidnât I tell you that you are not allowed to drink alcohol while Iâm not there, let alone getting drunk?â Yan Qiuchi asked.

Shen Jintai tilted his head and said: âBut you are here.â

Yan Qiuchi: âWhere am I? Did you drink too much, and your husband call was said mistakenly?â

âYou are in my heart,â Shen Jintai drunkenly said words of love.

Yan Qiuchi: ââ¦â

Well, although he was drunk, saying such clever words succeeded in pleasing him. However, usually in bed, he would ask Shen Jintai to call him husband, but Shen Jintai would shake like a sieve and refuse to utter the word. So far, he had only called him it twice, and that was only when he was pushed to the edge, so it wasnât really enjoyable.

No matter how much he coaxed him to scream it every time, Shen Jintaiâs mouth was still hard to move.

Yan Qiuchi was full of excitement when he heard it.

âWho am I? Do you still know me?â

âYan Qiuchi.â

âWho is Yan Qiuchi?â

Shen Jintai said: âYan Qiuchi⦠that is⦠that is Yan Qiuchi.

âWho is Yan Qiuchi?â

âMy husband.â

Yan Qiuchiâs eyebrows tightened, and he whispered: âSo good.â

He felt that he should take Shen Jintai home quickly and heâll be able to listen to him say it a few more times tonight.

Yan Qiuchi felt refreshed when he thought of this and hurriedly drove home, afraid that Shen Jintai would fall asleep and wouldnât call him it anymore. Shen Jintai was lost in a daze and his consciousness gradually recovered. He probably noticed Yan Qiuchiâs intentions, so he lowered his head and said inarticulately: âGege*, you already gave it to me⦠let⦠let me take a vacation.â

*It didnât feel appropriate translating it, so Iâll leave it in pinyin form. Reminder that gege when referring to an unrelated person is a term of endearment (but in this sense Shen Jintai is saying it in a jokingly way).

The author has something to sayï¼ï»¿

He really canât stand this labor.

PS: The reserved husband will make his move.
