Chapter 20 Qian Yirong versus Mu Zexuan and Li Jing...
Qian Yirong felt bored when she met the wary and disgusted looks of Mu Zexuan and Li Jingyan. On the contrary, Xu Baiqing's accusing look at her made her feel guilty. Xu Baiqing sat next to her and leaned close to her ear.
"My sister just left me and Miss Qu like this..." Feeling Qian Yirong's body tense up because of his approach, Xu Baiqing said softly.
"Well...someone is looking for you, and I don't want to disturb you." Qian Yirong's eyes wandered for a moment, and she answered with some guilt.
"Sister, you'd better do this," Xu Baiqing said, and then he rested his head on Qian Yirong's neck. His tone was light but very serious. "You are more important to me. You are never a bother at any time."
The delicate fragrance of Xu Baiqing permeated Qian Yirong's breath as she approached. Listening to Xu Baiqing's serious words, Qian Yirong's heart couldn't help but soften, and her eyes softened.
Mu Zexuan and Li Jingyan looked at Xu Baiqing approaching Qian Yirong with concern. Looking at their intimate behavior, they always felt that something was wrong. After Qian Yirong's eyes softened, the atmosphere between the two even became exclusive and outsiders could not enter.
Mu Zexuan thought he was wrong and looked at Li Jingyan beside him, wanting to ask for his opinion, but he saw Li Jingyan's eyes fell on Xu Baiqing, with an interest that made him feel uncomfortable, so the idea of talking to him disappeared in an instant.
Anyway, the relationship between girls has always been very close, whether it is holding hands, hugging, or even kissing each other while playing, so Mu Zexuan let go of the subtle feeling in his heart, and just thought that Xu Baiqing was too naive to be won over by Qian Yirong's disguised friendliness. He still had to keep a closer eye on her, otherwise Xu Baiqing might be bullied without knowing it.
The afternoon classes passed uneventfully. This time, Xu Baiqing packed up her things quickly and followed Qian Yirong closely. She pretended not to notice Mu Zexuan's gesture of wanting to say something to her.
After walking out of the classroom, Xu Baiqing held her hand as if he was afraid that she would run away. Xu Baiqing's body temperature was low, and it was like a piece of soft jade with a very pleasant touch was stuffed in her hand. Qian Yirong subconsciously held it tightly at first, and then asked Xu Baiqing to let go somewhat embarrassedly.
"No need to follow so closely. Since I promised to take you back, I will do it." Seeing that Xu Baiqing did not let go of her hand at all, Qian Yirong said helplessly.
"Hmph, you left me alone at noon. I don't believe you." Xu Baiqing retorted in a low voice. Not only did he not let go of Qian Yirong, but he changed from ordinary hand holding to interlocking his fingers, holding her tightly, not giving her a chance to leave him.
The way of holding hands with ten fingers interlocked was really too intimate, as if they were tightly fitted together and would never be separated no matter what. Qian Yirong was very uncomfortable with this, but Xu Baiqing was very strong. If he wanted to shake her off, it would definitely require a big movement. Qian Yirong didn't want to attract too much attention, so she had to let Xu Baiqing hold her hand.
Seeing Qian Yirong's agreement, Xu Baiqing's eyes curved in a very good mood. Qian Yirong's hands were warm and dry, which gradually warmed her slightly cold hands. This feeling of comfort made Xu Baiqing want to press herself against her, but considering that Qian Yirong would definitely refuse, and even now they would be forced to let go when holding hands, Xu Baiqing had to give up this tempting idea.
The two of them arrived at the parking lot. Qian Yirong pressed the key of the sports car in her hand. The headlights flashed, and the silver-gray sports car had smooth curves, giving off an expensive aura from the outside.
"We're here now, you can let me go now." Qian Yirong moved Xu Baiqing's hand that he was holding tightly and said.
"Yeah." Xu Baiqing reluctantly let go of Qian Yirong's hand. His hand, which was originally warmed by her body temperature, quickly became cold. Xu Baiqing wondered with a sense of loss when he could hold hands with Qian Yirong like this for a long time, or when he could make more intimate gestures without being rejected by her.
Qian Yirong looked at Xu Baiqing's pitiful and lonely expression after she let go of her hand, and couldn't help but feel a little pity for her. Although Qian Yirong already knew that Xu Baiqing's temperament was not as soft and pitiful as she looked, she still felt soft-hearted because of the fragile expression on her face.
"Get in the car. Don't you want me to take you home?" Qian Yirong said as she opened the passenger door for Xu Baiqing.
"Yeah!" Xu Baiqing responded excitedly to Qian Yirong's considerate gesture. The tone was completely different from when he asked her to let go of her hand just now, which made Qian Yirong smile more.
Xu Baiqing sat in the passenger seat. Qian Yirong closed the door for her and went to the driver's seat. She saw Xu Baiqing looking around the car excitedly without even fastening his seat belt.
"Bai Qing, fasten your seat belt." Qian Yirong reminded.
"What?" Xu Baiqing was paying attention to the lit dashboard and didn't hear Qian Yirong's words clearly.
Qian Yirong sighed upon seeing this. She knew that she would not pay attention to other places for a while. She had an appointment with Qu Xueer and could not delay too long. So she simply leaned closer to Xu Baiqing and planned to help her fasten her seat belt.
The sudden approach made Xu Baiqing's excited expression pause. As Qian Yirong approached, the fragrance from her body hit his nose, not to mention that the small space in the car made Qian Yirong's fragrance even more fragrant.
Because of the position of the seat belt, Qian Yirong was very close to Xu Baiqing, and even her breath hit the side of her face. Xu Baiqing's slightly pale face suddenly turned red, and her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
As Qian Yirong fastened her seat belt, the distance between her and Xu Baiqing widened. When the seat belt buckle clicked, Xu Baiqing came to her senses. She even shrank back into the seat as if to avoid it.
"What's wrong? Did it hurt you?" Qian Yirong noticed that something was wrong with Xu Baiqing and asked with some concern.
"No." Xu Baiqing's voice trembled slightly.
"Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me." Qian Yirong said and started the car.
Qian Yirong was so focused on driving that she didn't notice that Xu Baiqing couldn't help but secretly observe her since she started driving. He wasn't as blatant as when he usually flirted with her, but was cautious and didn't want to be discovered by her.
Xu Baiqing subconsciously touched her chest. It had been beating very fast because of Qian Yirong's approach. This was completely different from her original intention of approaching Qian Yirong. She just wanted to know why Qian Yirong had changed so much.
But gradually, she couldn't help but focus more of her attention on Qian Yirong, and even felt unhappy because she had other close people, and wanted Qian Yirong to only care about her.
He would even cooperate with Qian Yirong's "bullying" just to get some "rewards" that would excite her when she felt guilty about him. However, after each closeness, he would feel more and more unsatisfied, like drinking poison to quench thirst, and he only wanted to get more.
Xu Baiqing's gaze fell on Qian Yirong's face. Qian Yirong was different from himself. She was like a ball of flame burning fiercely. The beauty between her eyebrows and eyes was made more attractive by her aura.
Qian Yirong's expression was serious at this moment. Her face looked a little solemn, her lips slightly pursed, her eyes calm. She looked particularly mature and steady, making people feel very safe. Xu Baiqing still remembered the feeling when Qian Yirong approached her just now. The fragrance that came to his face made Xu Baiqing's heart sway.
She had obviously done more intimate actions to Qian Yirong before, but this time it was Qian Yirong who took the initiative. Just by simply getting close to her, Xu Baiqing couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster. At that time, she figured it out. She had never been in love, so she didn't know what it meant to be moved. All her previous behaviors had reasons.
Before, Xu Baiqing felt that her interest in Qian Yirong far surpassed everything else. She knew that if she could make Mu Zexuan like her, it would be of great help to her future life, and she didn't mind using feelings to achieve her desired goal.
But when she thought that if she really had an unclear relationship with Mu Zexuan, based on her observation and understanding of Qian Yirong during this period, she would definitely keep her distance and would not even give her a chance to get close to her.
So when it became clear that Mu Zexuan had feelings for her, Xu Baiqing's first reaction was to keep her distance from him. This was totally unlike the choice Xu Baiqing would have made in the past. After all, even though she had returned to the Qian family now, compared to the Mu family, the Qian family could only be considered an upstart.
Even after she observed that the Qian family was not as warm and loving as they appeared to the outside world, in order to prevent herself from being used for marriage in the future, it would be a more correct choice to let Mu Zexuan take the initiative to be nice to her.
But every time she saw Qian Yirong, no matter how well she prepared herself mentally, it would collapse. She found that she simply could not accept Qian Yirong's alienation from her. Even just thinking about it made her feel very uncomfortable.
However, Xu Baiqing found that the more she acted like she wanted to keep a distance from Mu Zexuan, the more Mu Zexuan wanted to get closer to her. This made Xu Baiqing very annoyed, but she also knew that she could not take any drastic measures.
After all, if she really offended Mu Zexuan, her life would not be easy, so she could only get along with him at a distance, at least in front of Qian Yirong, she had to keep her attitude correct.
At least Xu Baiqing still didn't understand why she cared so much about Qian Yirong's opinion of her, but what happened just now made her understand why she was so keen to get close to Qian Yirong and made Qian Yirong have different emotions towards her. It was all because she was attracted to Qian Yirong.
Xu Baiqing's eyes were dim as she looked at Qian Yirong, a possessive desire growing in her heart. Qian Yirong had lived a good life for her for so many years, so it was only right that she should compensate her with herself.
