Cultivate feelings?
Bai He obviously wanted to talk to Di Yu alone and found such an excuse.
Di Yuchong Ma Hao and He Meng smiled, took a bottle of vodka from the wine cabinet, and followed Baihe into the kitchen.
"Xiao Bai, don't you think it's strange that He Yi asked Di Yu to help in the kitchen?" After seeing Di Yu go in, Bai He even closed the kitchen door. Di Yu is a guest, where is the logic in letting guests help with cooking? Moreover, can a big man like Di Yu be skilled in cooking?
Ma Hao said, "This is for the better! Today, Di Yu helped us again, and Auntie's attitude towards him must have changed. This is a good thing, no need to make a fuss. I think Auntie wants to apologize to Di Yu alone."
"Is it really like that..."
If Di Yu saw He Meng's puzzled face, he would definitely sigh that a woman's intuition should not be underestimated.
Di Yu held the wine bottle and walked in, blowing it all the way. His purpose for coming out today was to use alcohol to numb himself, suppress his restlessness and killing intent after taking a life. Just being stimulated by Ma Tianxiong, his killing intent had increased instead of decreasing. If he didn't drink now, he feared he wouldn't be able to hold it in, which wasn't good for his body either.
"Hey, Miss Bai, when did I ever tell you that my cooking skills are good? I'm the typical kind of person who can't even cook a decent fried rice without burning it. You wouldn't really make me cook for you, would you?" Di Yu leaned against the ceramic counter beside the stove, looking down at Bai He.
Bai He was arranging some vegetables on the chopping board, saw Di Yu walking over, and didn't deliberately avoid him like before. She glanced at him and said: "You know why I called you..."
"I know?!" I really didn't know, Di Yu was inexplicably puzzled, he tilted his head and took another swig, a bottle of high-proof vodka had already been gulped down by him. He said: "Wait for me for a moment, I'll go get another bottle, if it weren't for thinking about your vodka maybe I wouldn't have come today."
Before Bai He could react, Di Yu had already rushed out of the kitchen at a speed that seemed like he was going to fight against the Japanese invaders. Bai He only managed to utter two "hey"s before Di Yu arrived in the living room. Fortunately, Di Yu quickly returned, holding up his wine and smiling at her: "You don't mind, do you?"
At this time, Di Yu's face had already turned red from the strong white wine, and whether or not she was sweating bullets was unknown. She furrowed her brow and said, "Drink a little less, it's bad for your body. When people drink and their faces turn red, it's best to stop drinking!"
"Oh? Isn't it said that people with red faces can drink the most, and alcohol evaporates quickly?" Di Yu, this encyclopedia, really didn't know that having a red face means you can't drink anymore.
"Those are all misunderstandings and common sense," Bai He shook his head. "Do you know why people's faces turn red when they drink?"
Di Yu shook his head dazedly, wasn't it because of the stimulation of alcohol that his body turned red?
"That's because there's something in the body called an enzyme that can't break down alcohol, and this enzyme is determined by human genetics. Using any kind of hangover cure or remedy won't work, and once a person's face turns red, they're more likely to get cancer than others." Bai He explained, then immediately became unnatural, as it was unprecedented for her to be so calm and composed when talking to a man at such close proximity.
Symbolic message: Blushing has nothing to do with drinking alcohol, this is what experts say, there is scientific basis. I hope everyone will pay attention to their body when drinking, and try not to drink again after blushing, it's easy to induce cancer!
"Unbelievable, I really didn't know that." Di Yu rubbed his head, he himself was a wine jar and yet he didn't even know this.
"I didn't cheat you," said Bai He lightly.
"I believe you!" Di Yu smiled and said: "But today I won't listen to you, today my craving for wine is particularly strong! In the future, I will definitely listen to you, if my face turns red, I will definitely not drink anymore."
Today must be paralyzed a bit, no two bottles of this concentration of vodka really can't solve the problem.
Bai He heard Di Yu say "listen next time" and felt a strange sense of relief, also feeling a little more at ease. After a moment of silence, she said: "Mr. Di, was what you first told me in the bar true?"
"What's wrong?" Di Yu felt that Bai He's behavior was strange today.
"...Let me be... your woman." Bai He's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and she really wondered if she had heard it clearly.
"Huh?" Di Yu couldn't believe his ears. Could it be that today he had helped her drive away Ma Tianxiong, beat him up to avenge her, and now Bai He was so moved that she wanted to give herself to him? He asked in puzzlement: "I don't quite understand your meaning?"
Di Yu remembered that last time in the bar, she said she was just joking with her, and he intentionally teased her saying it was true. How come today he didn't take it seriously, but she took it seriously instead?
Bai He was not moved by today's events to the point of sacrificing herself, but rather she felt that Ma Tianxiong would eventually be harmed by Ma Ding. As a bar owner, she had no money or power, and was fundamentally unable to guarantee Ma Hao's safety.
Di Yu dared to hit Ma Tianxiong after knowing his relationship with the Chen family, at least proving that he is not afraid of the Chen family's power. Moreover, Bai He has always thought that Di Yu is a big brother in the underworld, and she is very repelled by this identity, otherwise she would not have let Ma Haoshao come into contact with Di Yu, but Di Yu is the only person she can find to protect Ma Haoshao's safety, and she has no other choice.
Bai He bit her red lips, feeling a sense of relief, and turned to look at Di Yu: "I said I'm willing to be your woman, but... but you have to agree to two conditions."
Two people were inches apart, their breathing audible to each other. Looking at the face that pained him, Di Yu's heart throbbed violently, but his expression remained unchanged - no nodding or shaking of the head. He asked, "What conditions?"
"First, you must ensure Xiao Hao's safety with all your might, then... you have to go back to my hometown with me and get my parents' consent." Bai He felt that the current distance and position between them was too ambiguous, so she turned her head away slightly, almost gritting her teeth as she spoke.
"You're willing to 'suffer' and be my woman just for this?" Di Yu felt amused, asking her: "What if I don't agree?"
"Is it my condition that makes you unacceptable?" Bai He asked hastily, her heart racing.
"No, your conditions aren't even considered conditions. Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. Even if we didn't have any relationship, I wouldn't let anyone hurt Xiao Bai! Are you at ease now?" Di Yu felt her inner anxiety and couldn't bear to tease her anymore, almost thumping his chest as he spoke. He and Ma Hao were classmates, roommates, and in the past, telling Bai He to be his woman was just a joke, also because of her face.
Bai He let out a soft sigh, but shook his head and said: "I've been struggling in the capital for ten years, and I've seen and experienced many things. All I see is benefit, no emotions; all I see is people's indifference to us, no concern. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I can't make myself believe a promise with no benefits."
"Hmm..." Di Yu didn't know whether to laugh or pity her, but perhaps it was more of a sigh. In order to raise Ma Hao into adulthood, Bai He had paid with not just her youth. Putting on a strong face and smiling in front of people, while being as cold as ice behind their backs, making herself cold, also made others feel cold.
Di Yu smiled wryly and said: "Miss Bai, to be honest, I'm not a good person, but for me, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she has no attraction if there's no emotional connection."
"Then I can develop feelings for you!" Bai He continued, her eyes filled with pleading.
She is a woman who doesn't consider her own happiness, she is beautiful, but she has been tainted by the ugliness of life.
In order to protect her loved ones, she is also a great woman who can sacrifice everything by nature.
Such a woman really pains Di Yu's heart.
"Are you sure you can make yourself fall in love with me and also make me fall in love with you?" Di Yu asked solemnly, looking at her seriously.
"I'll... try." Bai He's current thought was that Di Yu didn't have any definite benefits, and wouldn't be able to guarantee Ma Hao's safety as he claimed.
"That's good, let's try it then." This was the best response Di Yu could think of. On one hand, he couldn't accept a naked interest-based relationship between a man and a woman; on the other hand, he also didn't want to hurt Bai He, and even wanted to change her pessimistic view of life, making her live more vibrantly.
"Thank you." Bai He saw that although he didn't agree to "trade", he agreed to cultivate feelings, and thanked him.
"Don't you think I'm not losing out at all, but instead taking advantage of you, and yet still thanking me?" Di Yu really couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, and it was painful, not just because Bai He had a face that looked exactly like Little Fairy's, but also because of a woman's attitude towards life.
"I don't think so! Today you offended Ma Tianxiong, and also implicated the Chen family, which will lead to a lot of trouble in the future. You should be careful." Bai He said very objectively.
"May I think you're concerned about me?" Di Yu said with a hint of rogue smile.
"Of course not, if something happens to you, how can I protect Xiao Hao... and myself?" Bai He said more honestly.
Di Yu shook his head repeatedly and said: "Miss Bai, this is not right. How can we cultivate our feelings like this?"
Bai He's answer is too practical, completely from the perspective of interest, once emotions are mixed in, the interest is no longer pure.
Bai He seemed to have realized this too, and smiled awkwardly, saying: "It's my fault, I should say that I'm worried about your safety."
"That's right. And from now on, don't call me 'Mr. Di' either. How can such a title increase affection? You call me Di Yu, and I'll call you Bai He!" Di Yu chuckled to himself.
Bai He smiled, and this smile was as elegant and sacred as a blooming lotus flower.
The two of them came out of the kitchen with a much more relaxed relationship, at least that's what Ma Hao thought. He was happy for Xiao Yi and Di Yuge, one being his closest relative and the other being his best brother, if they didn't get along well, Ma Hao always felt uncomfortable.
This meal was very sumptuous and delicious, but unfortunately... the door was kicked open by Di Yu.
While having dinner, Bai He received a phone call and the bar had some trouble, so he needed to go back to the bar.
Di Yu naturally took on the role of escort, driving her there, not only to "deepen their relationship", but also because among the troublemakers was Martin.
Martin knew his father was going to Ma Hao's house to cause trouble for them, so he called a few people to make trouble at Bai He's bar, and they were all people that Bai He didn't dare to offend.
