Chapter 17 The next morning, Qian Yirong was in good condition...
The next morning, Qian Yirong woke up around seven o'clock due to her good biological clock. She frowned. She seemed to have had a nightmare yesterday. Something was watching her in the room, but it had no malice, but with an inexplicable greed, as if it was coveting her.
As for why Qian Yirong thought it was a nightmare, it was because she was actually a very sensitive person. Even if she was sleeping, if a stranger approached her, she would wake up immediately.
Since she slept until dawn, it can only mean that the thought that someone was watching her in her room was just a nightmare, but this nightmare was too real.
Perhaps it was because of the nightmare, even though Qian Yirong slept until dawn, she was still a little tired. She changed her clothes reluctantly, opened the door, and saw Xu Baiqing who was about to knock on her door.
"Sister, why do you look so listless? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Xu Baiqing asked with concern.
"Yes, I didn't get enough rest." Qian Yirong didn't tell Xu Baiqing that she didn't get enough rest because of the nightmare, but just agreed with Xu Baiqing's words.
Xu Baiqing's expression became more serious. Qian Yirong's unusual appearance made Xu Baiqing wonder if she had discovered that he had sneaked into Qian Yirong's room yesterday.
After carefully probing her a few more times, Xu Baiqing realized that she was worrying too much, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Qian Yirong's sharpness still made her alert. Perhaps she should try to sneak into Qian Yirong's room less often in the future, otherwise she might be caught by her, and then she would definitely distance herself from her. Xu Baiqing didn't want this to happen.
So after confirming that her actions yesterday had not been exposed, she followed Qian Yirong quietly as usual, but she wanted to be quiet, but others did not give her this opportunity.
"Qingqing, get up and come over for breakfast. We have your favorite food today." Qian's mother at the dining table seemed not to notice Qian Yirong walking in front of Xu Baiqing, and just greeted her.
Xu Baiqing paused, then walked to Qian's side with admiration on her face, following Qian's mother's instructions. She was asked to sit in the seat where Qian Yirong used to sit. When she sat down, she looked back at Qian Yirong, as if she was worried that she would misunderstand.
Obviously what Xu Baiqing did was extremely obvious, but the three people from the Qian family at the table acted as if they didn't see it at all. Qian Yirong sneered, perhaps because she was not in the right mood, or perhaps because she was not in the plot at the moment. She had no interest in playing cozy with the other people from the Qian family, so she pulled out a chair quite far away from them and sat down.
"Rongrong, why are you so rude? You don't even say hello to us." When Qian Yirong sat down and started eating breakfast, Qian's mother said with some displeasure.
"I thought my mother was only concerned with talking to her good daughter who had a good relationship with Mr. Mu, and she didn't even see me, a person of no use to her." Qian Yirong said sarcastically.
"What are you talking about?" An embarrassed look flashed across Qian's mother's face, and her tone became more intense as if she had been hit by something.
"Mom, don't be angry, sister is just joking." Xu Baiqing quickly calmed Qian's mother's emotions, and she could hear that Qian Yirong was deliberately provoking Qian's mother.
"Qingqing is a member of our Qian family and knows how to care for me." Qian's mother touched Xu Baiqing's hand with satisfaction and said meaningfully.
"I don't want to eat anymore." Qian Yirong threw the chopsticks on the table, got up and left. I was already in low spirits, and now I even have no appetite.
"What a kid." Being humiliated by Qian Yirong, Qian's mother's face turned ferocious for a moment, then she concealed it in front of Xu Baiqing.
Xu Baiqing lowered her eyes, pretending not to notice, and restrained the urge to get up and chase after him, but her eating speed had obviously increased. She reluctantly accompanied Qian's mother in acting out a loving mother and filial daughter before she got away from the table.
Xu Baiqing came to the outside of the villa and found that the car that usually came to pick him up was still parked there, so he breathed a sigh of relief and the corners of his mouth curled up. But when he came to the side of the car and saw the empty back seat, the smile on Xu Baiqing's mouth froze and his mood became depressed.
"Ms. Xu, please get in the car." When the driver saw Xu Baiqing, he got out of the driver's seat, walked to the side of the car, opened the door for her, and said with some flattery.
"Where is my sister?" Xu Baiqing asked with a glimmer of hope.
"Miss Qian drove to school by herself. It was the new car that was delivered yesterday." The driver said with some envy.
Xu Baiqing fell silent after hearing this. She got into the car without saying anything. The driver closed the door for her and returned to the driving seat. He vaguely felt the low pressure on Xu Baiqing. He didn't dare to talk to her all the way and silently sent Xu Baiqing to Shengde High School.
Xu Baiqing got out of the car. This time, more eyes were cast on her. Compared with the previous disdain and malice, the eyes now cast on her were wary and scrutinizing. After all, Xu Baiqing's identity was different now.
No one delved into the fact that Qian Yirong had been causing trouble for her for such a long time since she had just entered school as a special admissions student. After all, it was better to have less trouble than more, so it was better not to cause trouble for herself.
When Xu Baiqing arrived at the classroom, he found Qian Yirong still surrounded by the crowd in the center, but Xu Baiqing saw some well-hidden impatience in Qian Yirong's proud and arrogant expression.
As soon as Xu Baiqing entered the classroom, the students in the classroom suddenly quieted down, especially a few people who kept stealing glances at Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing. Perhaps, other students on campus did not understand it very clearly, but as classmates, they naturally knew about the grudge between the two.
There were also a few people with frightened expressions on their faces. In order to please Qian Yirong, they taught Xu Baiqing a lesson under various pretexts. At that time, Xu Baiqing was just a special recruit with no power or influence, but now she is the daughter of the Qian family who is legitimately recognized. This may not have much impact on Qian Yirong, but it has a big impact on them.
If they couldn't get Xu Baiqing to forgive them, many people who wanted to please Xu Baiqing would target them, and it might even affect the family business, but it was obvious that Qian Yirong still didn't like Xu Baiqing.
If they tried to please Xu Baiqing too obviously, they would definitely offend Qian Yirong, so the current situation was that they were completely caught in a dilemma, but the most important thing was that neither Qian Yirong nor Xu Baiqing were people they could afford to offend.
Qian Yirong only glanced at Xu Baiqing when he entered the classroom, and then she stopped looking at him as if out of sight, out of mind, which made Xu Baiqing feel anxious.
She didn't like Qian Yirong's attention being on other people, so she almost subconsciously wanted to walk towards Qian Yirong, but at this time someone else came in.
"Isn't this the savior of our Mr. Mu?" A teasing voice sounded, and Xu Baiqing paused.
She turned around and looked back, and saw Mu Zexuan and Li Jingyan. It was Li Jingyan who was talking. He put his hand on Mu Zexuan's shoulder and looked at Xu Baiqing with eyes full of interest.
"Take your hand away," Mu Zexuan stepped aside, letting Li Jingyan's hand slide off his shoulder. He ignored Li Jingyan's teasing, but his gaze towards Xu Baiqing was indeed a little softer. He took a few steps closer to Xu Baiqing and said, "Thank you for helping me. I'll remember this favor."
"I didn't do anything," Xu Baiqing said softly, "I just helped Master Mu call Master Li."
Mu Zexuan had a better impression of Xu Baiqing after hearing this, but Li Jingyan's eyes showed even stronger interest. After all, Mu Zexuan didn't notice it, but he realized that although Xu Baiqing didn't take credit for it, he didn't refuse Mu Zexuan's favor at all. It was really interesting.
"You saved Zexuan, so why are you still so distant with us?" Li Jingyan interrupted, "Just call us by our names, so others won't say we're ungrateful."
Although Mu Zexuan didn't say anything, his face showed some approval, and it was obvious that he agreed with Li Jingyan's words. Xu Baiqing nodded after hesitating for a while.
The three of them didn't lower their voices at all when they spoke, so naturally the other people in the class heard it as well. Qian Yirong raised her eyebrows and looked at the book that popped up, knowing that it was her turn to take the stage.
"If Mr. Li says so, can I call you by your names?" Qian Yirong said at this time.
Li Jingyan looked up at Qian Yirong, and the interest in Xu Baiqing that had arisen in his eyes completely disappeared. He looked at Qian Yirong with an indifferent expression. If it weren't for the fact that his best friend's sister Qu Xueer liked Qian Yirong very much, he would not have given Qian Yirong a good look.
"Haven't you called our names a long time ago? Why are you doing this again?" Li Jingyan said with a smile.
Thanks to Qu Xueer, Qian Yirong actually had some interactions with Mu Zexuan and the others, but because her family background was not as good as theirs, Qian Yirong could not offend them if she got along with them. Qian Yirong, who was used to being flattered, was not used to this, so she was not very willing to get close to them.
So, apart from Qu Xueer and her brother, she was unfamiliar with the other three. And you have to know that Qian Yirong was reminded by her mother, both explicitly and implicitly, that it would be best if one of Mu Mo Zexuan and the others fell in love with her. This somewhat forced feeling made Qian Yirong even more distant from them.
But after all, they still had some friendship, and they were quite friendly to Qian Yirong. However, Qian Yirong now keenly saw from Li Jingyan's friendly expression his indifference towards her, as if she were a grain of sand that could be swept away at any time if he wanted to.
This made Qian Yirong very unhappy. In the past, little wolf cubs whose fur had not yet fully grown were not qualified to appear in front of her. If she didn't know how long she could stay here, she would definitely teach these people a lesson.
The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became a little stiff. Qian Yirong's expression turned cold for a moment, which made Li Jingyan feel like he was facing his father at home. However, Qian Yirong quickly suppressed her displeasure and lowered her head as if she was retreating because of Li Jingyan's words, which made Li Jingyan think for a moment that it might be his own illusion.
However, because of this, Li Jingyan's gaze couldn't help but fall on Qian Yirong, wanting to confirm whether it was just an illusion. However, the way he stared at Qian Yirong so seriously gave people some misunderstanding.
Xu Baiqing felt unhappy when she saw Li Jingyan staring at Qian Yirong. She took two steps towards Qian Yirong, blocking Li Jingyan's sight towards Qian Yirong.
With his vision blocked, Li Jingyan withdrew his gaze, but he couldn't help but frown slightly. Although the fleeting sense of danger seemed like an illusion, Li Jingyan was a cautious person. He didn't think he would have an illusion for no reason, so Qian Yirong must have a secret.
Li Jingyan is indeed a cautious person, but it must be said that he is also very adventurous, just like he likes extreme sports, so the mystery of Qian Yirong attracted him and made Li Jingyan truly face this familiar stranger who he had never taken seriously before.
Qian Yirong didn't know that she had aroused Li Jingyan's curiosity. She reflected on herself and realized that she was a little impulsive. She obviously didn't need to pay attention to Li Jingyan's sarcasm, but she still couldn't help but get angry. It might affect the subsequent plot. She couldn't do this again in the future.
Just as Qian Yirong was analyzing herself, Xu Baiqing had already walked past the people who were trying to please her and approached her. Xu Baiqing took advantage of the fact that Qian Yirong was concentrating on thinking and didn't notice him, and went straight forward to hug Qian Yirong's arm.
Qian Yirong was startled by Xu Baiqing's sudden approach. She suddenly turned her head to look at Xu Baiqing, feeling a little confused. She didn't like others getting too close to her. Generally speaking, if an unfamiliar person approached her, even if she was not paying attention, she would come back to her senses for a moment.
But she only reacted after Xu Baiqing hugged her arms. This could only mean that she subconsciously regarded Xu Baiqing as her own, so Xu Baiqing's approach did not attract her attention.
"Sister, why didn't you wait for me in the morning?" Xu Baiqing successfully hugged Qian Yirong's arm. He was in a good mood, so his words were all a little coquettish.
"...I want to try out the new car," Qian Yirong said as she moved her arms. Seeing that Xu Baiqing was holding her tightly, and that she was holding her even tighter when she moved, she couldn't help but feel something else on her arm, making it difficult for her to move. She waited to continue, "And I don't know how long you'll take for breakfast, so of course I'll leave first."
"Okay," Xu Baiqing reluctantly accepted this reason and continued, "I haven't ridden in your car before. Can you take me home after school this afternoon?"
"Let's talk about it later..." Qian Yirong did not agree, but just spoke ambiguously.
Mu Zexuan couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he saw Xu Baiqing getting along intimately with Qian Yirong. He had always thought that Qian Yirong was superficial and domineering, and now he couldn't help but dislike her even more. Moreover, Xu Baiqing had been bullied by Qian Yirong before, but he didn't expect that he could be coaxed by Qian Yirong so naively.
