Chapter 56

While the little girl was changing clothes upstairs, Jiang Bai was sitting on the sofa downstairs waiting obediently.

Half an hour later, Lan Shuqing came down from upstairs. Jiang Bai immediately stood up and wanted to walk over, but when he saw Lan Shuqing coming over, he was stunned for a moment.

Lan Shuqing changed her clothes and put on some light makeup. Her hair was still half-tied up as before, with a few strands of hair on her forehead, which made her delicate face look even more beautiful. She wore an Aden green long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves slightly rolled up and the top button open, revealing her beautiful collarbone and slender neck at a glance. She wore a white skirt with the shirt tucked into it, a blue-black belt around her waist, and the white skirt edge had some light green embroidery.

Jiang Bai suddenly recalled the poem that many people had recited.

There is a beautiful woman in the north, who lives in seclusion from the world.

Perhaps Jiang Bai's dazed look pleased Lan Shuqing. She chuckled in her heart, but didn't show it on her face. She said calmly, "Let's go."

As she spoke, she picked up the white handbag hanging on the side and walked towards the door.

Jiang Bai suddenly realized what was happening and quickly followed, "Lan Shuqing, where are we going?"

Halfway through her run, she suddenly remembered her bag, went back to pick it up, and followed Lan Shuqing out.

The two took the elevator down.

Lan Shuqing was walking in front, Jiang Bai caught up with her and walked beside her. Lan Shuqing turned her head to look at her, and Jiang Bai smiled.

snort.

The phone in her bag vibrated. Lan Shuqing took it out and answered it. "Sister Yueyue."

"Well, I've already gone downstairs."

"good."

Jiang Bai stood obediently beside Lan Shuqing. After Lan Shuqing hung up the phone, she saw her holding the straps of her cross-body bag with both hands. She was 28 years old but still looked like an elementary school student.

Lan Shuqing's tone couldn't help but soften, "I made an appointment with Sister Yueyue to have dinner together. She'll pick us up and we'll go to the movies this afternoon."

Jiang Bai nodded and asked, "Does she know I'm with her?"

Lan Shu hummed softly, then said, "Buy your own movie ticket for the afternoon show at 2 o'clock."

Hehe, Jiang Bai laughed when he heard her say that, "Okay." Then he immediately took out his phone to buy the ticket. However, because it was a little late, the seats were all at the back or on the side, so Jiang Bai had to choose one at the back.

After making his choice, Jiang Bai took the initiative to approach Lan Shuqing, but there was no corner of her clothes to pull, so he gently hooked Lan Shuqing's fingers, "Lan Shuqing, can I come to see you later?"

Lan Shuqing didn't dodge, but glanced at her and nodded, "Yeah."

Jiang Bai felt even happier after getting approval. She would be bolder in the future.

Seeing her happy, Lan Shuqing felt a little relieved. It might be because she had just cried and vented, or it might be because of Jiang Bai's belated honesty. This woman finally continued to abide by their agreement. Lan Shuqing felt much better now that she saw Jiang Bai.

But I can't forgive this woman easily, Lan Shuqing thought. If she wants to pursue me, then let her.

A bright orange car slid over and stopped beside the two men.

Qiu Jinyue rolled down the window and said, "Get in the car."

Lan Shuqing and Jiang Bai sat together in the back seat. Qiu Jinyue glanced at them in the rearview mirror. They were quite cold towards each other last time, but today the atmosphere seemed to be much better.

Because it was an unfamiliar car, Jiang Bai subconsciously pulled the door handle with his right hand and sat upright.

"Shu Qing, your brother said he will come over next week. Will you come with him then?"

Lan Shu raised his head lightly, "No, you guys go have fun, and we can just have dinner together when he comes."

It's not good for her sister to always be a third wheel.

Qiu Jinyue nodded, "Okay."

After driving for about half an hour, they arrived at a large shopping mall in Beijing. Qiu Jinyue spent another twenty minutes looking for a parking space.

By the time the three of them entered the mall, it was already eleven o'clock.

The underground floor of the mall is basically filled with snack bars, restaurants, and fast-moving consumer goods stores. Lan Shuqing walked in the middle of the three people, while Jiang Bai and Qiu Jinyue walked on both sides of Lan Shuqing.

Jiang Bai smelled the aroma of bread. There seemed to be a lot of people gathered in front of a store. She pulled Lan Shuqing's sleeve and said, "Lan Shuqing, let's go to that store and take a look."

"Um?"

Lan Shuqing followed her in confusion.

It turned out to be a bakery.

Qiu Jinyue also followed and asked, "Do you want to buy some bread?"

Jiang Bai glanced inside the store and tugged at Lan Shuqing's sleeve again, "Let's go take a look and buy something?"

Lan Shuqing was puzzled, "Do you want to eat?"

Jiang Bai looked at Qiu Jinyue, then at Lan Shuqing, "Let's go and take a look."

She just looked at the name of the store and it seemed to be quite famous.

The three of them entered the shop. The bakery was quite large and filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread, which was a bit sweet.

Lan Shuqing and Jiang Bai stood in front of the glass cabinet. Lan Shuqing pointed at the small cakes in the cabinet and whispered to Lan Shuqing, "Can I buy one for you?"

Hearing her say this, Lan Shu chuckled and said, "The bread here is okay, but the cakes are not. If you want to buy some, I can tell you where to go. You can go there next time."

Jiang Bai said "Oh", "Have you bought here before?"

Lan Shu nodded slightly, "Yeah."

"Oh well."

Seeing Jiang Bai's regretful expression, Lan Shuqing found it funny. She smiled again and said, "Let's go."

It turns out that I wanted to buy it for Lan Shuqing.

Qiu Jinyue watched the interaction between the two people from the side and thought that the previous feeling was not an illusion, and Lan Shuqing's attitude towards Jiang Bai had indeed improved.

At this moment, Lan Shuqing thought of Qiu Jinyue and turned to ask, "Sister Yueyue, do you want to buy something?"

Qiu Jinyue shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, let's go shopping in other shops, and then we can go upstairs to eat when we're almost done."

After walking for a while, the three of them entered a cultural and creative store, which was quite interesting, with toys, stationery, and some small items.

Jiang Bai took a fancy to the Dharma, which was half the size of his palm and came in black, red, and yellow. It was small and cute, and very pretty.

She stood in front of the little Daruma for a long time before deciding to buy two, one black and one red.

Seeing that she liked Damo, Qiu Jinyue started chatting with her again, talking about games, anime, and some other things that Lan Shuqing didn't quite understand.

Half an hour later, the three of them entered a Chinese restaurant, ordered a few signature dishes, and chatted while eating.

Lan Shuqing was still sitting in the middle, with Jiang Bai and Qiu Jinyue on both sides. While Lan Shuqing and Qiu Jinyue were chatting, Jiang Bai openly picked up some ribs for Lan Shuqing. The ribs here were also very good.

After dinner, the three of them went to get tickets to watch a movie. Lan Shuqing and Qiu Jinyue sat together, while Jiang Bai sat alone in the back.

While the movie was still playing, Qiu Jinyue quietly asked Lan Shuqing, "Shuqing, have you and Jiang Bai reconciled?"

In the darkness, Lan Shu hummed softly.

Qiu Jinyue was curious and asked quietly, "How did you make up?"

Lan Shu chuckled, "She apologized to me today, so let's just forgive her for now."

"No, it's been several years, and you can still forgive her?" Qiu Jinyue found it unbelievable. Lan Shuqing was smiling when he said this. The smile was light and gave her a relaxed feeling.

Lan Shuqing thought about it and realized that when she first saw Jiang Bai, she might have been ready to forgive her.

Just as the movie was about to begin, Lan Shuqing said, "Sister Yueyue, the movie has begun."

After watching the movie that day, Jiang Bai went back home by himself and sent a message to Lan Shuqing in the rental house.

Pure white avatar: Lan Shuqing, please send me the cake shop you talked about today~

When Jiang Bai sent the message, Lan Shuqing had also arrived home. She looked at the message in the chat box, leaned on the sofa, and replied: Do you really want to buy a cake?

Pure white avatar: Which one do you like in this store?

Lan Shuqing found that Jiang Bai's tone was cuter than before.

Lan Shuqing looked at the cat rolling around on the screen and laughed.

So the next day, around eleven o'clock in the morning, when Lan Shuqing was reading some information on the sofa, the doorbell rang.

Lan Shuqing opened the door. Jiang Bai was holding a small cake and greeted her with a smile, "Lan Shuqing, I'm here to bring you a cake."
