Chapter 31

The historical records were about ten pages long. Lan Shu flipped through three pages before she saw a familiar song title. She couldn't help but look at Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai smoothed her hair and pretended to look away casually. When she saw the door, Jiang Bai realized that this was her home. What was she afraid of?

Jiang Bai turned around and said, "Lan Shuqing, just sing whatever you want to sing. Why are you looking through the old records?"

Lan Shu glanced at her lightly. Oh, she finally reacted. Lan Shu chuckled and jokingly said, "You can't even take a look. Are you so stingy?"

Jiang Bai poked Lan Shuqing's shoulder. "I gave you my TV and my microphone! And you still call me stingy?!"

Lan Shuqing laughed again, "I'm just stingy."

Jiang Bai rolled his eyes and said, "Order a song."

Lan Shu leaned over to Jiang Bai and raised his eyebrows, "Sing together?"

Jiang Bai retreated while shaking his head.

Lan Shuqing clung to her tightly, "Singing alone is so boring. I'll be so embarrassed if you do that. It'll seem like I'm so ignorant..."

As Jiang Bai retreated, Lan Shuqing followed him and kept muttering to himself, until Jiang Bai leaned against the sofa and was about to fall to the ground if he retreated a little further.

"...This is your home. If I sing alone, wouldn't that steal the spotlight from the host?"

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. Jiang Bai pushed Lan Shuqing back and said, "Lan Shuqing, you're so nagging."

Lan Shuqing winked at her, "Then sing with me?"

Jiang Bai nodded helplessly, "Let me first state that the songs I like are different from yours, and we can't sing them together."

Lan Shuqing leaned over and smiled at Jiang Bai, "I don't mind."

Everyone likes different things, which is perfectly normal.

I almost forgot that Lan Shuqing is a very outgoing guy. Jiang Bai smoothed his hair and stared at the screen. The song title soon appeared on the screen. Jiang Bai tilted his head and saw Lan Shuqing was choosing songs on his mobile phone.

The girl lowered her head, revealing her pretty profile. She was wearing a light yellow sweater and was very beautiful. Jiang Bai supported his head with his right hand and forced himself to look away.

Jiang Bai only started to click after Lan Shuqing finished clicking the song. After that, Lan Shuqing directly changed the order. As a result, the first song was Jiang Bai's. When the familiar melody started, Jiang Bai was still a little confused. Lan Shuqing handed her the microphone.

Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, then took the microphone and started singing the original version. She stood up and tried to open her mouth but couldn't. She simply handed the microphone to Lan Shuqing, "No, Lan Shuqing, you sing first."

Lan Shuqing laughed and took the microphone. "It's not like I can sing your song..."

A pleasant female voice on TV started to play. Lan Shu gently pulled Jiang Bai's arm and looked up, "You can come with me..."

Jiang Bai's throat moved slightly, and he replied softly: "Then you are not allowed to laugh at me..."

Although Jiang Bai likes music very much, she is not good at singing in front of Lan Shuqing. She will be very nervous.

Lan Shu nodded slightly, with a hint of light in his eyes.

Jiang Bai glanced at her, took the microphone, sat on the sofa, and began to sing softly along with the original singer.

Her voice is naturally soft and clear, but the pitch is sometimes not quite right.

Lan Shuqing leaned his right hand on the sofa, secretly turned his head to look at Jiang Bai, and smiled silently. He was so cute.

They rapped for two hours, and the microphone ran out of battery. Each person sang one song at a time, and one person sang more than ten songs. Jiang Bai's throat was a little dry, but Lan Shuqing was still very energetic. When he was having fun singing, he even pulled Jiang Bai to dance with him. Jiang Bai had never seen such a scene before. Not only was his body stiff, but his movements were also uncoordinated.

Lan Shuqing discovered it easily, and Jiang Bai was easily at a loss.

After turning off the TV, Jiang Bai packed up the microphone and took it to the study to charge it. Lan Shuqing followed him, after all, she still had half a paper to finish.

Jiang Bai thought for a moment and took a book from the bookshelf.

Lan Shuqing was doing the exercises, and Jiang Bai was sitting on the tatami next to her. It seemed that it was not enough, so Jiang Bai went to the sofa and got a big pillow. She supported the pillow with her left hand and read the book with her right hand. Lan Shuqing glanced at her quietly, smiled and continued to do the exercises.

Jiang Bai, who works at the party and has no homework to do, felt sleepy after reading for a while.

So the situation in the study became like this: Lan Shuqing was brushing the papers, while Jiang Bai was half leaning against the bookcase, sleeping with his back to a pillow, his face facing Lan Shuqing. As long as Lan Shuqing turned his head, he could see Jiang Bai's sleeping face, with the pillow on his hands, looking unusually well-behaved.

Lan Shuqing couldn't help but secretly took another photo of Jiang Bai sleeping. The background of her chat with Jiang Bai was the photo of Jiang Bai she had secretly taken before. She could see it every time she chatted with Jiang Bai, as if the other person was right next to her.

But no moment was as real as this, Jiang Bai was right beside her.

Lan Shuqing put down his phone, quietly moved in front of Jiang Bai, and looked at her face closely. Jiang Bai had very good skin, very white, and pretty. Lan Shuqing's eyes were soft, and he whispered something in Jiang Bai's ear.

The sun was setting and the rain outside had stopped long ago, but the sky was still gray and the sun was not visible. The sunlight gradually darkened. At a glance, I could see a faint red light flashing in the distance outside the window, and there were lights in the distance.

Lan Shuqing put away the paper, got up and turned on the light in the study.

Jiang Bai seemed to be aware of something in her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a chair and a desk. Before she could fully recover, a delicate and beautiful face appeared in front of her.

How can a 19-year-old girl be so beautiful?

"Blue Book Light..."

Jiang Bai's eyes were hazy as he murmured something. Lan Shu squatted down and clung to the edge of the tatami mat. He suddenly smiled, "I'm here."

I am here?

Jiang Bai woke up suddenly. She looked carefully and saw Lan Shu talking and laughing softly, which was very beautiful. Jiang Bai sat up and slapped her face, "Sorry, I fell asleep..."

Lan Shuqing laughed again, "You've already slept for three hours..."

It was almost six o'clock. Jiang Bai glanced at the sky outside, then at his tidied desk. "Have you finished your homework?"

Lan Shu nodded slightly, "I'm done for today."

What a plan! Jiang Bai smiled and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Lan Shu shook her head slightly. She had actually eaten more than usual at noon and wasn't hungry at all. She wasn't hungry, but she wanted to do something else, so she said, "Jiang Bai, let's go for a walk?"

Jiang Bai smiled and said, "Then let me clean it up."

Jiang Bai's family lives in the southern district of City A. It is not in the main urban area, but it is the famous southern urban area. Although it is only a few kilometers away from Lan Shuqing's family, these few kilometers are a big gap.

There are no amusement facilities or large supermarkets around, only residential houses. A large part in the south is under construction. The nearest park is one kilometer away, and the nearest shopping mall and food circle are three kilometers away. Therefore, when Jiang Bai wants to go shopping or go to the park, he rides a small electric scooter.

Walking should have a destination. Jiang Bai thought that they should walk to the park and then walk back. Lan Shuqing had no objection.

The street lights are on. There are not many people out for a walk at this time, but there are still a few people walking on the road, and there are also barbecue stalls or fruit vendors on the road.

It had just rained and the weather was a bit cold. Lan Shu held Jiang Bai's arm and entered old age early. The streets were still wet.

"Jiang Bai, do you usually go out for a walk?"

Jiang Bai thought for a moment and said, "Occasionally."

Lan Shu shook Jiang Bai's hand lightly, "What kind of answer is that?"

Jiang Bai smiled, "It's just occasional."

"What do you do at home alone?" Lan Shu counted on his fingers. "Twenty-four hours a day. If you get up at ten in the morning, that's two hours in the morning, six hours in the afternoon, and then there's the evening..."

The curriculum in the third year of high school is very tight. It is full of classes during school hours. Lan Shuqing also makes plans for himself on weekends, including what to do every day, when to make up classes, when to practice exercises, when to rest, and when to do other things.

But she couldn't really imagine Jiang Bai's life, because there was nothing to play with at home and she was all alone.

Listening to Lan Shuqing's words, Jiang Bai smiled, "Just play by yourself and go out for a walk occasionally..."

Lan Shu tilted his head slightly, "Isn't there an option for friends?"

Jiang Bai turned his head and glanced at her, "Occasionally."

Lan Shuqing pondered, "How long does this occasionally last?"

Jiang Bai thought for a moment, "The last time was three years ago."

Lan Shu was shocked. "Your occasional behavior is too long and too occasional!"

Jiang Bai smiled but didn't say anything.

Lan Shu glanced at her lightly and suddenly asked, "So we can be considered a gathering of friends now, right?"

We are two friends, too.

Jiang Bai frowned, then smiled and said, "Well, barely..."

"Reluctantly?" Lan Shu gently squeezed Jiang Bai's hand. "Jiang Bai, you're going too far. How can I force myself?!"

Jiang Bai smiled, glanced at Lan Shuqing, and said nothing more. She and Lan Shuqing were six years apart in age. Three years was already a gap, and six years was two gaps, so it could barely be considered a gathering of friends.

But deep down, Lan Shuqing is more than just a friend to Jiang Bai.

Lan Shuqing squeezed Jiang Bai's hand again, "Jiang Bai, why don't you speak?"

Jiang Bai pinched it back, "Are you acting like a spoiled brat again?"

Lan Shu glared at her, "I'm not a kid."

Jiang Bai laughed, "If you haven't graduated from high school yet, you're still a kid."

Lan Shu snorted lightly. She would graduate next year. Soon, they saw the entrance to the park. The two of them walked for more than ten minutes.

The park is built along the river, with several bridges connecting the two sides of the river. There are parks on both sides of the river, each side is about three kilometers long. The banks are planted with willow trees, and there are ginkgo trees and other green plants further out. The gate entrance is on this side of the highway, and there is a large stone at the entrance with the name of the park marked on it. It is very simple.

The two of them walked in and saw a few people walking in the park, and some people were walking their dogs, and there were quite a few dogs.

After the rain, the lawns in the park are all green. Even though it is winter now, you can still smell the fragrance of grass and trees after the rain. Jiang Bai likes this feeling very much, especially the fragrance of grass and trees.

Jiang Bai took a deep breath. Something occurred to her. She looked at Lan Shuqing and asked, "Lan Shuqing, are you bored?"

"Do you mean taking a walk?" Lan Shu asked.

Jiang Bai nodded.

Lan Shu touched his chin lightly and said, "It's okay. My mother likes shopping, and I think it's similar to going shopping with her." They are both walking, but the places they walk are different. It was the same when we went to the Lakeside Park last time. Jiang Bai is only 25 years old, but he already has the lifestyle of an elderly person.

"Jiang Bai, have you thought about the future?"
