die by your hands

An Tianming could feel the subtle change in Bai Wei's attitude.

When An Tianming asked Li Lang to clarify the facts to Bai Wei, the former mainly hoped that Bai Wei would be less nervous, but the effect of this behavior was greater than he imagined.

If we say that before this, every time Bai Wei faced An Tianming, he always revealed a vague sense of alienation with fear and guard, as if they were separated in two worlds, then Bai Wei now looks at An Tianming's face. From time to time, a look of gratitude, although vague and uncertain, appeared in the eyes.Moreover, he should have really relaxed a little bit, and sometimes even made some innocuous jokes in the conversation with An Tianming - he seemed to have finally become so real.

An Tianming hopes that this momentum of improvement can be maintained.For this reason, he became the one who was more afraid of the two of them getting along.

An Tianming will deliberate over and over again whether it is appropriate to say what he said to Bai Wei before saying it. Every time he proposes an invitation such as going to the entertainment room to watch a movie together, he will double check whether the other party has such a mood.Bai Wei still never rejected any of An Tianming's proposals, which is the direct reason why An Tianming was cautious about every proposal. Sometimes, he hoped that Bai Wei could refuse once, because that refusal might be Bai Wei's only true words.

Because of safety issues, Bai Wei can be said to be trapped in a small villa all day long. The person involved has never raised any objections, but An Tianming, who has always been careful about things, has to think about what the other party wants What, he carefully studied various travel plans, but finally gave up because he was worried that some small risks would endanger Bai Wei.

Fortunately for An Tianming, Bai Wei's birthday happened to come at this time.A happy birthday party should dilute the loneliness of the trapped people. For this reason, An Tianming specially visited Bai Wei's friends.

None of Bai Wei's friends welcomed An Tianming's visit.

"I just hope that Bai Wei can have a happy birthday." An Tianming, who had never been so complacent, expressed his thoughts patiently.Zhao Xuan's reaction to this was: "I really want Xiaobai to have a good time on his birthday, so you should consciously disappear."

No one has ever treated An Tianming with such a bad attitude. Even when he was powerless, the spoiled young master he served had never been so rude to him—it was he who sometimes regarded himself as a bad temper Vent on the other party - and now, An Tianming finally learned to be patient for Bai Wei.He even agreed to the other party's request.

On Bai Wei's birthday, An Tianming locked himself in the study because he had work to do.

He sat behind his desk and listened to the boisterous laughter from downstairs.Today's birthday party, for the sake of safety, An Tianming didn't invite too many Bai Wei's friends, mainly Li Lang, Zhao Xuan, Wang Ning and Liu Liang.An Tianming personally made the cake in advance, and asked the maid to pass the gift to Bai Wei.He actually had nothing to do in the study room, he was so bored that while listening to the bustling sounds downstairs, he was looking for a small flash game called Da Doudou that Bai Wei liked eight years ago on the Internet.At that time, An Tianming joked about the childishness of this game, including how childish the players were, but now that he found this game again, he couldn't find the childish young master.

Because all the Doudou need to be eliminated, so there cannot be a single Doudou of a certain color in the end. In principle, this game needs to eliminate Doudou in pairs every time. Sometimes, things are not as simple as imagined. If you accidentally eliminate three Doudou at once After you get a Doudou of a certain color, it is very difficult for you to continue to find Doudou of that color that can be eliminated together... An Tianming didn't know why he put himself so seriously into this game. When he noticed, his laptop screen There is only the last Doudou left on the table.Doudou, who was left alone, could no longer be eliminated.

An Tianming looked at the blue peas, he knew it was himself.

There was a knock on the door of the study at this moment.

"Please come in."

To An Tianming's surprise, the person who opened the door was Bai Wei.The latter held a cake in his hand.

"I don't know if you are too busy to have a bite of cake?" Bai Wei asked hesitantly at the door.

An Tianming quickly closed his notebook. "Actually, I'm not that busy. A 2-minute break would be great."

After receiving this answer, Bai Wei walked into the study and handed the plate in his hand to An Tianming, which made the latter notice that he was still holding an envelope in his hand.

Of course An Tianming knew the envelope, because it was his birthday present to Bai Wei.Obviously, Bai Wei came here for this gift.

"Xiao Wei, I hope you understand that I don't have any malice in giving this gift." An Tianming had thought about whether it would be ironic if he did that before, but this was the most worthy gift he could think of for Bai Wei .

Bai Wei quickly shook his head, "Of course I understand. I'm here to thank you, I like this gift very much." He hesitated for a while, "It's just that Aning thinks I should come and ask you why you did that."

It is very likely that Bai Wei would not have come to inquire if Wang Ning hadn't suggested it.It was like this before, Bai Wei would joke with An Tianming, but he never seriously answered any of An Tianming's questions, and he never asked An Tianming any questions.But no matter what, at this moment, Bai Wei is willing to accept the suggestion to discuss a real matter with An Tianming, and An Tianming will naturally face it with the most solemn attitude.

"I don't know if Wang Ning told you anything?" He slowly started the topic.

Bai Wei shook his head: "A-Ning asked me to ask you. Do you know him?"

"I knew him before. You know my old name, don't you?"

"I know. Your surname is Xu. Your father is Xu Yuangui, and your mother is Ke Jingzhen." Bai Wei blurted out.

An Tianming was startled unconsciously.He can understand how Bai Wei learned the story of the Xu family from his father, but his parents' names are not the ones that people will never forget. If these two names have no meaning to Bai Wei, he can't pronounce them so fluently .

"...Xiao Wei, you should understand that the death of my parents has nothing to do with you." An Tianming carefully confirmed after hesitating.

Bai Wei did not respond.He didn't refute An Tianming, because he didn't take An Tianming's words seriously.

An Tianming couldn't help frowning, "Xiao Wei, do you know what hypocrisy is? Wanting to take responsibility for things that have nothing to do with you is also called hypocrisy." Because of his anxiety and aggressive tone, he said emphatically , "Unless you are God, don't be so arrogant that everything is your fault."

Bai Wei watched An Tianming quietly and clarified: "Although I have always been so arrogant, I don't think I have done anything wrong."

Only then did An Tianming realize what he had said. "Sorry, Wei, I didn't mean you were arrogant or hypocritical. I just..." He didn't know how to explain.

Bai Wei didn't let people continue to worry about it. "I know." He cut off An Tianming's speech and returned to the previous topic, "Why did you mention the former name? Does this have anything to do with Aning?"

An Tianming wanted to continue to clarify.He didn't want Bai Wei to have any misunderstanding because of his nonsense, but then again, no matter what he said, Bai Wei couldn't really listen to it.After a helpless pause, An Tianming could only keep up with the other party's conversation: "You should know that Wang Ning grew up in that orphanage, right? The relationship between me and Wang Ning is that I was in the same orphanage as him The dean grew up."

This should be the reason why Bai Qianyuan chose this one to sponsor among so many orphanages.

An Tianming who knew the truth at the beginning didn't know how he should feel about Bai Qianyuan's behavior, but for Bai Wei now, when he heard about this incident, his eyes flashed touched and relieved when he was surprised.

This is exactly the reason why An Tianming chose to tell the other party.

"You have the right to know about this, so I've always wanted to find an opportunity to tell you...maybe it will make you hate me more...but you have the right to know."

"Thank you for telling me." Bai Wei said softly after a long silence.

"It's hard for me to say whether your father's funding of the orphanage made me...I don't know," An Tianming didn't know how to express himself, he still couldn't think too much about it, "Anyway, I choose I also donate to the orphanage as a birthday present to you because I know it is a good gift."

Bai Wei nodded: "This is indeed one of my favorite gifts. Including what you told me."

An Tianming noticed that this was probably the first time since their reunion. Before Bai Wei spoke to An Tianming, he didn't think about what he should say and how he should say it. Instead, he showed his true attitude without any precautions. .

Not long ago, An Tianming was on the verge of despair, but now, he actually saw a little bit of hope, which made him so excited that he couldn't know what to do. "By the way," he said out of words, "You asked someone to help you go to your residence to get the key in the morning, and you also transferred the money today, right?"

"That's just a drop in the bucket, it's nothing to worry about." Bai Wei's expression became conservative again, facing An Tianming's question, he just responded with the most vague and indifferent words.

Knowing that he couldn't act too hastily, An Tianming secretly appeased the sense of loss in his heart. In order not to make Bai Wei too anxious, he let go of this topic that Bai Wei obviously didn't want to start, and tried his best to smile nonchalantly: "Anyway, thank you for bringing me the cake specially. .”

"I think you have a right to try your own cake. Especially if it's not bad."

"You know I'm good at cooking all kinds of food."

Bai Wei nodded in agreement: "You are good at almost everything."

"But at least you are better at eating all kinds of food than me." An Tianming teased lightly.

Bai Weiwei said solemnly: "It really takes talent to eat hard without gaining weight."

"The key is that you don't like sports yet, you are really talented."

"I have to be allowed to have a bit of expertise, after all, no one is useless."

An Tianming was stunned. "Of course you're not useless," he said.He never thought Bai Wei would think that way.

"Of course I wasn't. The fact that I was able to put a pen back into a case while only using one eye was a big hit in junior high."

"You have many unique skills. You can choke an American speechless in English, and you can play the effect of four-handed bombing by yourself..." An Tianming just wanted to tell Bai Wei urgently. The other person is so amazing, he didn't expect to be stupid enough to say the worst lines.

Bai Wei's face didn't change much, but the smile he tried to maintain was stiff and pale.

"Sorry, Xiao Wei." An Tianming said reflexively.But in fact, he knew that no matter how much he said sorry, it would not help the young man who loved music and performance.

Some things in this world are irreversible.
