Finally, Bai Jinjin snorted coldly and said, "If that's the case, why don't you teach me your lessons quickly?"
Seeing that Bai Lingling had forgiven him, Ye Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief. The shadows of the two people were getting closer and closer under the light.
The next day.
Bai Jinjin appeared listlessly in Bai Jing's sight. Bai Jing was a little confused about what was going on and asked his question directly.
"Jinjin, what's wrong with you? Did you become a thief last night?"
Bai Jinjin rubbed her eyes and muttered, "I actually saw a thief."
Bai Jing looked at her in surprise.
"What?! Did you see a thief last night?"
Seeing that he had accidentally said it, Bai Jinjin quickly shook his head and explained: "Brother, I was just so sleepy that I slept very late last night."
Bai Jing rubbed her head helplessly and said jokingly: "You, if this continues for a long time, I think you can go on guard duty."
As he said that, he handed the bag in his hand to Bai Jinjin.
"What is this?"
Bai Jing pointed at the bag and explained, "These are lotus root powder sugar pills. You're so sleepy that I see you must have skipped breakfast after finishing writing."
Bai Jinjin looked at the bag in her hand in surprise and said, "Wow, big brother, you really have a good guess. You are so sure that I didn't have breakfast."
"It's not like I've calculated the ingredients. This is meant for you. You'll get this bag of lotus root powder and sugar pills regardless of whether you've had breakfast or not."
Upon hearing this, Bai Jinjin quickly opened the bottle, took out a pill and put it into her mouth. After chewing it carefully, she could taste a hint of osmanthus fragrance.
“This is so delicious.”
Seeing that Bai Jinjin was satisfied with the meal, Bai Jing looked at her lovingly.
"Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow. Let's go to the pavilion to study first."
Bai Jinjin's mouth was stuffed with lotus root powder sugar pills and she could only nod randomly as Bai Jing led her into the pavilion.
Bai Lingling, who was passing by, was so angry when she saw this scene that she gritted her teeth. At the same time, she was very annoyed at Bai Jing's increasingly distant attitude towards her. He never contacted her again after the house arrest.
Bai Lingling looked at Bai Jinjin with hollow eyes that revealed a creepy hatred.
Her elder brother was deceived by Bai Jinjin, and she lost a brother! This was all Bai Jinjin's fault. She knew that everything Bai Jinjin did in the Queen Mother's Palace was premeditated.
Even today, she thought that the Fourth Prince would be deceived by Bai Jinjin, but she never thought that Bai Jinjin would take away the First Prince who loved her the most.
Seeing Bai Jinjin's seriousness in reciting the koi, Bai Jing glanced at the koi pond and saw Bai Lingling, who was still staring at Bai Jinjin. Seeing Bai Lingling's eyes fixed on Bai Jinjin, Bai Jing called out, "Bai Lingling! What are you doing?"
This sentence not only scared Bai Lingling but also Bai Jinjin. Bai Jing turned around and looked at Bai Jinjin apologetically, but Bai Jinjin shook her head to indicate that it was okay.
When Bai Lingling saw that Bai Jing cared so much about Bai Jinjin, the jealousy in her heart was about to break through everything.
"Jinjin is really capable. You can even let your academically proficient elder brother review your lessons for you."
The sourness in the tone could not be concealed.
Bai Jinjin glanced at Bai Jing tentatively, and seeing that he was unmoved, she sarcastically said, "Yeah, after all, big brother is considerate of me, a younger sister who hasn't been able to keep up with her studies. Sister Ling is such a good student, so she probably doesn't need it, right?"
Hearing this, Bai Lingling clutched the book tightly in her arms and smiled as she said, "As the saying goes, learning never ends. How can I possibly know everything? Big Brother, I have a question for you. Do you have time?"
Bai Jing said calmly, "I'm helping Jinjin with her homework, so I'm afraid I don't have time to help you. You can go find the other brothers and I believe they will help you."
Bai Lingling looked at Bai Jing with a sullen expression upon hearing this. "Jinjin?" In just a few days, they'd become so intimate. Bai Jinjin was truly remarkable.
"In that case, I'm sure Sister Jin wouldn't mind having me review with her, right?"
Hearing this, Bai Jinjin raised her eyebrows jokingly and said, "Sister Ling is so proactive. Jinjin is really flattered. Of course, I don't mind. Sister Ling, come along."
Bai Jing looked at Bai Jinjin in disbelief, but Bai Jinjin secretly made a gesture with her hand where Bai Lingling couldn't see, and Bai Jing finally felt relieved.
Never mind, it was just Jinjin's prank.
Bai Lingling walked into the pavilion with her lotus steps. Bai Jinjin said in agreement, "Wow, Sister Ling's lotus steps are really beautiful."
Seeing Bai Jinjin praising her steps. Bai Lingling said with pride in her tone: "Since you think it looks good, why don't you go and teach me?"
Seeing the fish had taken the bait, Bai Jinjin smiled and waved her hand, saying, "No need, Sister Ling. Jinjin rarely walks, and it's always Big Brother or Brother Ye who carries me."
The smile on Bai Lingling's face almost broke when she heard these words. Bai Jinjin was a shameless woman, and it was okay for the Crown Prince, but how could he carry Ye Jiuge, a stranger who had no blood relationship with her, on his back?
"So that's how it is. It's the sisters who are being nosy."
Bai Jinjin said with a second burst of anger: "It's okay, sister. I know that you always walk and never take a sedan chair."
You little bastard, you still want to disgust me? You must be dreaming, Bai Lingling.
Bai Jing saw that it was almost time, and the little girl didn't want to recite anymore after playing. He reached out and patted Bai Jinjin on the head and said, "Hurry up and recite, or you'll forget the poems you memorized earlier."
Bai Jinjin then obediently endorsed the text, but Bai Lingling felt that Bai Jing said that because he couldn't stand Bai Jinjin bullying her.
"Brother, Lingling doesn't quite understand this. Could you please explain it to Lingling?"
Unfortunately, Bai Jing didn't even look at her and said, "I don't know about this either. If you really want to find out, you should ask your fourth brother. She loves to study these things."
Bai Lingling's face darkened after being rejected time and time again. Bai Jinjin saw this and thought, "This won't do. I haven't had enough fun yet. Why don't you leave?"
Bai Jinjin comforted Bai Lingling and said, "Sister Ling, don't mind it. Big brother has been like this since he was released from house arrest. Don't take it to heart if no one wants to talk to him."
Bai Jing on the side just let Bai Jinjin make up stories. Seeing that Bai Jing did not refute her, Bai Lingling naturally thought that what Bai Jinjin said was true.
He said softly, "Brother, don't worry about what happened during the confinement. It's all in the past."
Bai Jinjin smiled. Isn't this telling the eldest prince that the house arrest is over, so don't worry about it and stop playing with Cailinyu. She is not a good person.
Bai Jing obviously understood and said, "But my house arrest originally belonged to someone else. I was only grounded because I made a sacrifice."
After hearing this, Bai Lingling realized that she had said something wrong. She felt guilty and didn't want to look at Bai Jing, so she made up an excuse and ran away.
