Chapter 600 Will it snow in Cyberpunk? (5)
Wen Wan values Jiang Mian very much, so she takes him everywhere to meet more people and build more connections. This will also be beneficial to Jiang Mian's future development.
This morning, Jiang Mian followed Wen Wan to meet a retired old professor. With Wen Wan's reminder, Jiang Mian had already prepared a gift. In addition, he was humble and studious, and he knew when to advance and retreat, so he was naturally liked by the elders.
However, in a short time, he made the old professor remember him.
Logically, Jiang Mian should not have come back so early. He stayed at the old professor's place for lunch, and Bai Yu ate at an old classmate's house, so there was only Bai Yao left.
Bai Yao said that she could just eat some instant noodles, but Wen Wan was worried about Bai Yao eating only instant noodles, so Jiang Mian came back with a packed meal.
As for why Wen Wan stayed at the old professor's house to talk, at least the old professor saw it at a glance.
Wen Wan smiled generously, "Jiang Mian is a good child."
"Well, a good child deserves a good child." The old professor smiled and agreed, obviously thinking that Jiang Mian and Bai Yao's affair was great.
And Jiang Mian returned to the Bai family at exactly the right time.
Bai Yao sat at the dining table, watching Jiang Mian open the lunch boxes one by one. The dishes that were packed and brought back were mostly stir-fried dishes, which were Bai Yao's favorite flavors. Only a few vegetables were placed on the rice. Although she disliked the vegetables, she would usually eat them casually because of the small amount.
Jiang Mian sat down opposite her. He smiled slightly, "The teacher said you would like these, so I brought these dishes back."
Bai Yao said, "Thank you."
She asked again, "You came back so early, have you eaten?"
He nodded, "The professor's meal time is early, I have already eaten with them."
Then what are you doing sitting here with me?
Bai Yao muttered in her heart and moved her chopsticks awkwardly. She has a strong taste and is very picky about food. A glass of water was placed in front of her, and she looked up at him.
Jiang Mian smiled and said, "I think you might need it."
Bai Yao uttered again, "Thank you."
She didn't know if it was because the message her parents sent out to bring them together was too obvious, or because her mother had said too many of her own advantages in front of Jiang Mian, which made Jiang Mian's initial favorable impression of her seem very high, or because he was just such a caring person.
"The teacher said that the potted plants need to be watered. You take your time. I'll go check it out first." Jiang Mian got up and left, found the sprinkler, filled it with water, pushed open the glass door, and went to the balcony.
Watering might be an excuse, he just felt that Bai Yao was not used to him eating with her.
He walked away, but Bai Yao couldn't help but look at him secretly.
Black raindrops were still falling outside. The balcony was surrounded by special glass walls, so the raindrops could not fall in. However, the raindrops hit the windows, leaving small black dots one after another, which slowly disappeared after a while. Despite the dark
wind and rain outside, he was in a small space with warm lights, with tenderness between his eyebrows.
He was dressed simply, with the hem of his blue shirt tucked into his black suit pants. When he leaned over to water the flowers, his perfect features of height, long legs, broad shoulders and narrow waist were more prominent. With his sleeves rolled up, his beautifully shaped arms and faintly visible blue veins hinted at the power and wildness hidden in his body.
Bai Yao had to admit that her parents had good taste.
Jiang Mian looked back with feeling.
Bai Yao lowered his head and continued to eat.
He raised the corners of his lips.
In order to make it easier to work, he unbuttoned a button of his shirt. At this moment, when he bent down and lowered his eyes, his delicate collarbone was quietly releasing a beautiful scenery.
Bai Yao was not a fool. It was impossible for her not to feel that an adult man was interested in her, not to mention that this man seemed to be about to transform into a peacock with its tail spread.
Jiang Mian stayed in the Bai family for five days. When the black rain stopped, everyone had to return to their jobs, and Bai Yao also had to return to school.
The day before Bai Yao was going back to school, Wen Wan took Bai Yao's hand and asked quietly: "Yaoyao, Jiang Mian has lived in our house for a few days. How do you feel about him?"
Bai Yao replied politely: "Very well."
Wen Wan thought Bai Yao didn't understand what she meant, so she said more bluntly, "You will graduate in a year, and you don't even have a partner now. When you graduate, if you still don't have a partner, the country will assign you a partner. Rather than marrying a stranger, wouldn't it be better to choose Jiang Mian?"
Bai Yao was lying on the bed playing a mobile game and said casually: "Mom, this kind of thing requires mutual affection. What's the use of me being satisfied with him? You always want him to have some ideas about me."
Wen Wan understood instantly, and she was overjoyed, "It's enough for you to say this."
I don't know what Wen Wan said when she went out. After a while, someone knocked on Bai Yao's door.
Bai Yao got out of bed and tidied her hair in front of the mirror. Then she opened the door reservedly and asked with a smile: "Is there anything wrong?"
Jiang Mian was a little embarrassed. Facing Bai Yao, he smiled at a loss, "Miss Bai, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late, I..."
Bai Yao smiled and waited for him to finish his words.
He was silent for a while, and suddenly said bluntly: "I want to date you."
Jiang Mian seemed to be a gentle person, but at this moment, he was unexpectedly decisive, as if he had hit a straight ball. As for whether Bai Yao would accept it or not, it all depended on Bai Yao's wishes.
In the living room, Bai Yu and Wen Wan hid behind the sofa, whispering to each other.
"Can't Jiang Mian say something nice?" Bai Yu said worriedly: "This boy seems to be quite smart. If he says some sweet words to make Yao Yao happy, won't Yao Yao agree to him?"
Wen Wan was also worried, and she took out all her anger on Bai Yu, "You are the one who talks too much. If you were so powerful, you would have chased me for three years before I agreed to marry you?"
Why did he suddenly bring up the past?
Bai Yu grumbled in his heart, but he didn't dare to really complain.
Although Bai Yao seemed to have always been following the life arranged by her parents, she was actually very opinionated. No one could force her to do anything she didn't want to do.
As parents, Bai Yu and Wen Wan really thought Jiang Mian was good and didn't want Bai Yao to miss Jiang Mian. If she missed him, Jiang Mian would definitely be snatched away by someone else soon.
Bai Yu said anxiously in a low voice: "What's going on? Why doesn't Yaoyao say anything? She should give me a clear signal whether she refuses or agrees."
"Yaoyao is still considering it." Wen Wan glanced at Bai Yu, "Besides, Yaoyao is a girl. If she easily agrees to a boy's request for a relationship, it would make her look unreserved."
