Chapter 21 The man who keeps looking for you

Jiang Jingyan doesn't smile much.

The sarcastic remark just now made Chen Qing's cheek, which was touching the phone screen, feel hot instantly.

Yan Baiqing's eyes fell on the top of her head, and he very considerately took a few steps back to leave enough space for her.

"Chen Qing, you've made it." Jiang Jing's tone was still smiling, but with a hint of chill in it. "Just got back to school, and there are men looking for you all the time."

Chen Qing's scalp tingled, but he remained silent.

"Who is it this time? The young master of the Qi family? Or has he found a new partner?"

She couldn't stand being questioned in this manner, so she bravely retorted, "Which one it is is my own business."

There was dead silence in the receiver.

After a long time, Jiang Jingyan hung up.

He didn't say what he was looking for her for, just called to check on her...

Chen Qing calmed down for a while, put away his things, and walked out of the small door, "Mr. Yan."

Yan Baiqing looked up from his phone screen and said, "I have something to do and need to leave first. I'll take you back to the dormitory."

She refused, "You go ahead and do your work, I can do it myself."

Yan Baiqing really had something important to do and was in a hurry, so he didn't bother to be too polite.

The two said goodbye briefly. Chen Qing felt really uncomfortable, so he went back to the dormitory, ate some bread, swallowed some fever-reducing medicine, set the alarm clock, and went to sleep wrapped in a quilt.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, my roommate Yuan Hui returned to school and pushed open the door with a bang. "Chen Qing!"

She put down what she was holding and drew aside the bed curtains. "Are you still sleeping? The instructor asked me to give this to you."

Chen Qing was sweating and half asleep. "What?"

"Leave note." Yuan Hui spread out her suitcase and packed it. "You want to ask for leave?"

Chen Qing sat up, somewhat confused.

The instructor was reluctant to open the school, so why did he suddenly agree?

"I'm asking you, why are you asking for leave right after school starts?"

“I took a gig.”

"For a fee?"

"Free."

"Wow!" Yuan Hui was excited. "Which theater?"

There are four people in the dormitory. Except Yuan Hui who plays Guzheng, the others are in Erhu class, but they are managed by the same instructor.

For people with majors like theirs, having a presentable performance on their resume is extremely valuable.

Yuan Hui was born with a baby voice. When she first entered the school, she was looked down upon by girls who thought she was a green tea. In the second half of her freshman year, she had an argument with her roommates and from then on she only spoke a few words to Chen Qing.

Yuan Hui knew that Chen Qing was short of money, and there was no need to give up his school studies to perform for free unless it was a super formal occasion.

"It's not the theater, it's a charity gala." Chen Qing put the note between the pages of the book. "Did the instructor say anything else?"

"No."

Chen Qing climbed up the ladder and got out of bed, then took out the thermometer.

There was a text message on her mobile phone from Mrs. Luo half an hour ago, asking her how her preparations were going.

She remembered the phone call from Jiang Jingyan.

Could it be that Mrs. Luo was afraid that she couldn't solve the problem, so she asked him to step in?

Chen Qing was holding the water cup in a daze. Yuan Hui nudged her, "I'm talking to you."

"What?"

"I'm asking you, have you finished the homework assigned by Mr. Cai?"

"Done."

Mr. Cai was the teacher of the Introduction to Traditional Music course in their department. His original name was Cai Zong, and the students gave him this "nickname" as they called him.

In addition, someone found out that he had a family business, so this nickname was confirmed.

Chen Qing took his temperature and it was 37.5 degrees.

After having lunch with Yuan Hui in the cafeteria, Chen Qing felt a little better and rushed out of the school as soon as possible.

She hadn't been back to her rental since returning to school. Her homework was on her computer, so she had to go get it. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, that place was restless.

I originally wanted to go back during the day, but I overslept.

Fortunately, the snow was bright enough. Chen Qing took a small knife in his pocket and trotted to the door of the room.

As soon as the key was inserted into the door hole, the corridor door was pushed open with force.

"Hey, you're back!"

She was startled and turned her head.

A strange man stepped over the threshold. He was short, had a truffle nose, and a gray knitted hat hung crookedly on his head.

Chen Qing ignored him and quickly unlocked the door.

The man suddenly came close and pressed against her back.

The greasy body odor and the hands rubbing his back made Chen Qing frightened and nauseous.
