Chapter 66.
Qian Yirong's departure from the campus was like a breeze that created ripples on the lake, but soon calmed down. Other things soon overshadowed Qian Yirong's departure from the campus, and gradually no one even mentioned Qian Yirong, who was once in the limelight.
Although the incident had no impact on other people, it was different for Xu Baiqing. She could no longer see Qian Yirong at school. During class, she would even occasionally lose focus and look towards the place where Qian Yirong usually sat. Only when she didn't see anyone would she wake up with regret and come back to her senses.
Mu Zexuan originally thought that it would be much easier for him to get close to Xu Baiqing after Qian Yirong left, but he didn't expect that every time the class ended, Xu Baiqing would leave the class immediately and he couldn't find him no matter how hard he looked.
As a result, Mu Zexuan only spoke two or three words to Xu Baiqing during this period, and most of them were when they greeted each other in the morning. This made Mu Zexuan very distressed. If Xu Baiqing had not always returned to the classroom before the bell rang, he would have thought that Xu Baiqing had secretly skipped class to find Qian Yirong.
But this made Mu Zexuan wonder if Xu Baiqing had been won over by someone in the school. After all, Qian Yirong was not in school, and Xu Baiqing had no one to stick to. He shouldn't only appear in the class during class time.
So the sense of crisis that had just faded away in Mu Zexuan's heart suddenly rose again. When Qian Yirong was around, Mu Zexuan was worried that she would pretend to be a good person and hurt Xu Baiqing, but now Xu Baiqing was elusive, and Mu Zexuan was worried that Xu Baiqing was being deceived. If Xu Baiqing fell in love with someone else, then everything he had done before would be in vain.
With an unspeakable feeling, Xu Baiqing left the classroom almost at the same time as the teacher after the bell rang. Mu Zexuan also stood up and followed him. When Li Jingyan saw this, his eyes flashed and he followed him without saying a word.
Xu Baiqing hurried to the old teaching building. After the new teaching building was built, the old teaching building was allocated to various clubs as activity rooms. Of course, the school’s clubs were not enough to occupy the entire old teaching building, so there were actually still quite a few empty classrooms in the teaching building.
"Sister Bai Qing, you're here." It was a large classroom, decorated very comfortably. Qu Xueer was leaning on the soft sofa playing with her mobile phone. She greeted Xu Baiqing as if she was used to it.
"You came quickly too." Xu Baiqing's eyes showed genuine relaxation, and she joked with a smile.
"I'm closer to the old teaching building, so of course I'll get here faster than Sister Bai Qing." Qu Xueer said as she turned around and lay down on the soft sofa. She was completely used to Xu Baiqing's teasing.
"But it's all thanks to you that our club, which only has two of us, can apply for such a large activity room." Xu Baiqing sighed. After Qian Yirong left school, Xu Baiqing felt that school had become boring. If Qian Yirong hadn't insisted on her staying in school, she really wanted to stay in the company with Qian Yirong.
Although the Qian family would definitely not agree with her doing the same as Qian Yirong, after all, the Qian family really let Qian Yirong fend for herself and had no intention of caring about her at all. As for herself, with Mu Zexuan around, she would definitely not be able to get what she wanted.
As for Qian Yirong, there are still posts floating around in the campus forum, betting that she will be expelled due to low grades in her first exam. No one is optimistic about the agreement that Qian Yirong made with the school board.
Xu Baiqing was not in the mood to stay in school, and she heard various rumors about Qian Yirong from time to time, which made her even more unhappy. Fortunately, Qu Xueer found her at this time and said that she could make Xu Baiqing happy.
So they applied for a large activity room in the teaching building. The comfort of the decoration was secondary. The main factor was, of course, Qu Xueer pointed to the room at the back, indicating that she would not eavesdrop.
Xu Baiqing showed a little embarrassment on her face, but she still walked into the inner room honestly, skillfully connected her mobile phone to the projector, and made a video call. She didn't have to wait long before a familiar face appeared on the projector.
"Bai Qing." Qian Yirong greeted, but from the background behind her, Xu Baiqing could tell that she was now in the company's office.
"Rongrong, have you eaten?" Xu Baiqing asked. He had noticed several times that Qian Yirong was too busy with work to eat, so he became very concerned about Qian Yirong's three meals a day.
"Don't worry, I've eaten. If you don't believe me, you can ask my assistant. Aren't you already familiar with her?" Qian Yirong said with a smile.
"Isn't it because I'm worried that you have an irregular life?" Xu Baiqing blushed. She felt like she was checking up on her, but Xu Baiqing had her own legitimate reasons, so she quickly said it with confidence.
"Yes, I know you care about me," Qian Yirong chuckled. She said, "Sometimes you know my schedule better than I do."
It was Qian Yirong's tacit consent that Xu Baiqing was able to get her itinerary from her assistant. Since she left school, the time they spent together had been greatly reduced, and she also noticed that Xu Baiqing had become very anxious because of this.
Being able to contact her at any time can relieve Xu Baiqing's anxiety, and Xu Baiqing will not reveal her itinerary, so Qian Yirong naturally doesn't mind Xu Baiqing knowing her itinerary.
"I'm doing this for your health, Rongrong. Your schedule was so busy before that it was scary for me to see. Now it's getting better. You are not allowed to work overtime secretly. I will check on you." Xu Baiqing reminded.
The first time she got Qian Yirong's schedule, she was so scared that she checked it again and again. No wonder she had no time to eat and only had a few hours of sleep. All her time was arranged for work. With this intensity, Xu Baiqing suspected that she would die suddenly after a while.
It was only after she pulled Qu Xueer to protest that Qian Yirong compromised and changed her schedule. Xu Baiqing would find opportunities to contact her, as he didn't want the next message he received from her would be that she was going to the hospital.
Qian Yirong knew that her plan was indeed a bit radical, but she really wanted to get rid of the feeling of powerlessness as soon as possible. However, after being "scolded" by Xu Baiqing, Qian Yirong gradually calmed down.
But now everything is on track. Although the speed still seems a bit slow to her, it is a good thing that Xu Baiqing no longer has to worry about her health. Moreover, after modifying the itinerary, she can feel that her body is a little more relaxed, which also sounded a wake-up call for her. She doesn't want to die young, so she also paid attention to rest afterwards.
"That..." Xu Baiqing suddenly spoke hesitantly.
"What?" Qian Yirong asked.
"...You have a day off tomorrow. Can I come to play with you?" Xu Baiqing asked after hesitating for a while. Although they were in contact through video, it was still different from meeting in person. Xu Baiqing hadn't seen Qian Yirong for a while and really missed her.
"Okay." Qian Yirong saw Xu Baiqing's slightly red eyes and immediately softened her heart and agreed. It was break time after all, and she missed Xu Baiqing a little.
"Then it's a deal. I'll come to see you tomorrow." Xu Baiqing's eyes immediately lit up and she looked at Qian Yirong and said.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Qian Yirong agreed.
After getting an appointment to meet tomorrow, Xu Baiqing hung up the video despite being a little reluctant. She returned to the activity room with a smile on her face and saw Qu Xueer winking at her.
Xu Baiqing followed her line of sight and saw a lingering figure. He frowned, but thinking of the situation at home, he said to Qu Xueer, "I'll go take care of it."
"Take it easy." Qu Xueer reminded.
"I know what's going on," Xu Baiqing said, then opened the door to the activity room. There was a hint of impatience between her eyebrows as she asked, "Why are you here?"
"I...you..." After seeing Qu Xueer in the activity room, Mu Zexuan knew the reason why Xu Baiqing had been elusive recently.
Compared with Qian Yirong, he naturally knows Qu Xueer better. Although Qu Xueer, like Xu Baiqing, was deceived by Qian Yirong, Qu Xueer's character can still be trusted.
If Xu Baiqing could become good friends with Qu Xueer, he would be happy to see it happen. It would be even better if the two of them saw Qian Yirong's true face and stopped associating with her.
"You followed me." Xu Baiqing looked at Mu Zexuan with suspicion.
"No... I'm worried about you." Mu Zexuan wanted to deny it, but no matter what his considerations were, he did follow Xu Baiqing.
"Are you doubting the school's security?" Xu Baiqing was speechless. You know, since most of the students are rich or noble, and they are worried about kidnapping incidents, the security of Shengde High School can be said to be very tight.
"This has nothing to do with school security. Sometimes the danger does not come from outside." Mu Zexuan said nervously.
"So Mr. Mu also knew about it." Xu Baiqing sneered. Although it was basically impossible for outsiders to sneak into Shengde High School, the classes within Shengde High School were clearly divided.
As Mu Zexuan was at the top of the pyramid, she naturally didn't have to worry about anything, but Xu Baiqing didn't believe that she didn't know the situation at Shengde High School, so he still didn't interfere.
Because of Xu Baiqing's incident, Shengde High School has reduced its targeting of ordinary students. After all, no one knows whether another "Xu Baiqing" will appear among them, and what Mu Zexuan said to Xu Baiqing now will only make her feel ridiculous.
"I... I..." Mu Zexuan's face turned red and white. He knew what Xu Baiqing was talking about, but he really would not care about that kind of thing before.
"Thanks to Mr. Mu, I am safe at school. You can leave now." After saying this, Xu Baiqing directly closed the door of the activity room.
After standing at the door for a while, Mu Zexuan left with a gloomy face. His heart was full of anger, but this anger would not be directed at Xu Baiqing, so he could only vent it elsewhere.
