Chapter 24.
After Xu Bai washed up and changed her clothes, the headache caused by the drunkenness had become minimal. She looked at herself in the mirror. Because of the careful care during this period, her pale face now had some redness that represented health. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Now she had a new goal and needed a healthy body. She didn't want to be powerless when she wanted to do something in the future.
After going downstairs, I saw Qian's father already sitting at the dining table, holding an economic newspaper and chatting with Qian Chengshu about company matters. Qian's mother was asking the servants to put breakfast in front of the two of them.
"Qingqing is here, come over and have breakfast." Qian's mother saw Xu Baiqing and called her over for breakfast.
Xu Baiqing agreed with a smile. It seemed that no one except Qian Yirong knew that he was drunk yesterday. After greeting the other people at the table, Xu Baiqing casually asked why Qian Yirong was not there.
After she finished washing up in the morning, she knocked on Qian Yirong's door before coming down, but there was no response. She thought Qian Yirong had already come down, but she didn't see her.
"Her," Qian's mother said, a hint of displeasure on her face. "I don't know who she met recently. She ran out without even eating breakfast this morning. Let's not talk about her. Qingqing is the best."
Xu Baiqing agreed with a few words perfunctorily, but her eyes darkened. She thought that Qian Yirong took good care of her yesterday because she did not do anything inappropriate or say anything she shouldn't have said after getting drunk.
But Qian Yirong didn't even eat breakfast, and the fact that she left early seemed like she was avoiding her. It also seemed like she had revealed something while drunk that made Qian Yirong want to hide from her. It seemed like she needed to test it out a bit.
After a simple breakfast, Xu Baiqing prepared to go to school. In the car, she received a reply from Qu Xueer. Xu Baiqing thought about it and asked her about her behavior after getting drunk. According to her, she should not have any extraordinary behavior.
However, these were all Xu Baiqing's own guesses. Everything would only be known after meeting Qian Yirong. So after arriving at school, Xu Baiqing went to the classroom without stopping.
As usual, Qian Yirong was surrounded by people trying to please her, but Xu Baiqing discovered that compared to the past, there were fewer people trying to please Qian Yirong, but more people greeting Xu Baiqing, and one could even vaguely see a hint of flattery in their expressions.
It seems that in addition to the fact that Xu Baiqing is a member of the Qian family whose identity is recognized by the Qian family, the close behavior of Mu Zexuan and others towards her has also increased her importance in the hearts of some people, and they have begun to plan to bet on her.
After dealing with the people who tried to please her, Xu Baiqing walked straight towards Qian Yirong. The closer she got to her, the heavier her heart became. After all, although Qian Yirong didn't show it particularly obviously, based on Xu Baiqing's understanding of her over time, it was clear that Qian Yirong was avoiding her.
"Sister." Xu Baiqing approached as if she hadn't noticed. She knew that Qian Yirong would show disgust and rejection towards her when facing some strangers, but because of this, she couldn't show her avoidance towards her, so every time she approached Qian Yirong in public, she was successful.
Qian Yirong couldn't help but tense up when Xu Baiqing looked at her. Although everything that happened last night was an accident, the close contact with Xu Baiqing still left a mark in Qian Yirong's heart. When she saw her, even though the culprit was Xu Baiqing herself, Qian Yirong still felt guilty for taking advantage of someone who was drunk.
Moreover, the book arrived early in the morning to remind herself that another plot point had arrived. She had just had such an intimate contact with someone, and now he had to "bully" her again. Qian Yirong felt even more guilty.
And the plot this time is that she deliberately locked Xu Baiqing in the equipment room of the gymnasium. The weather was originally sunny, but it was going to rain heavily after dusk. She would fool other people in the Qian family who wanted to find Xu Baiqing, and let Mu Zexuan, who noticed something was wrong, rescue her heroically.
Qian Yirong was thinking about the next plot. She felt annoyed by the words "Mu Zexuan carried Xu Baiqing to the hospital". When she looked into it carefully, she found that the reason why Xu Baiqing suffered such an unexpected disaster was because Mu Zexuan's admirer was unhappy that Xu Baiqing was favored by Mu Zexuan, so he deliberately instigated Qian Yirong, who already hated Xu Baiqing, to take action. It can only be said that Xu Baiqing suffered such an experience entirely because of Mu Zexuan.
After all, according to the previously unchanged plot, Qian Yirong, who had been warned by her family, would not attack Xu Baiqing at this critical juncture even if she disliked Xu Baiqing. She just wanted to teach Xu Baiqing a lesson because her resentment was provoked.
After the previous plot points, Qian Yirong already has a minimum way to get through the plot. She cannot modify the plot in the book herself, as this will cause her to be punished by the book. She does not want to experience the loss of control caused by skin hunger again.
However, she cannot modify the plot, but she can change the people in the plot, such as Xu Baiqing. After all, she had done things according to the plot before, and Xu Baiqing "cooperated" with her, so this plot went smoothly.
Next, she just had to let Xu Baiqing know what she would do in advance, as usual. With Xu Baiqing's intelligence, she would naturally know how to avoid doing anything that would really hurt her.
However, these are things that Qian Yirong needs to consider later. She is still a little at a loss about Xu Baiqing. After all, as a virgin who has never had such close contact with anyone, Qian Yirong had some stress reaction and suddenly pulled Xu Baiqing's hand away when Xu Baiqing leaned over and wanted to grab her arm.
After all, she was pressed down on Xu Baiqing yesterday because he refused to let go. However, Qian Yirong's huge action seemed to be a rejection of Xu Baiqing to outsiders. Some people's eyes flashed and they showed malicious smiles.
As for Xu Baiqing, she was completely frightened. Unlike others who made random guesses, she saw Qian Yirong's ears turned red and knew that she was shy. Her reaction was different from what she would have shown if she knew her love.
Xu Baiqing quickly analyzed that he probably did not tell the truth after getting drunk, but something else must have happened between them, causing Qian Yirong to become a little shy towards her.
This was actually an unexpected surprise, compared to avoiding her even though he knew her feelings, or even if something happened but Qian Yirong remained indifferent, perhaps Qian Yirong herself didn't know that she cared too much about Xu Baiqing.
So Xu Baiqing was not sad about Qian Yirong's seemingly evasive action. Instead, his heart beat faster. The sharp-eyed onlookers seemed to see Xu Baiqing smile a little when he was pushed away by Qian Yirong.
But after a closer look, they found that there was only surprise and sadness on Xu Baiqing's face, so they thought they had seen it wrong. After all, they saw most clearly how Xu Baiqing tried to please Qian Yirong, but Qian Yirong had always been lukewarm towards Xu Baiqing.
Or perhaps Qian Yirong actually had some ill will towards Xu Baiqing, but out of consideration for the Qian family, she had restrained herself recently. However, it was obvious that Qian Yirong had never liked Xu Baiqing.
"Qian Yirong, what are you doing?" Mu Zexuan's voice suddenly rang out. Everyone looked at him walking over angrily and said to Qian Yirong.
It seems that he saw Qian Yirong pushing Xu Baiqing away. In Mu Zexuan's eyes, Qian Yirong was targeting Xu Baiqing, and he was very disgusted with Xu Baiqing's attempt to get along well with her.
But to Mu Zexuan, who knew the inside story of the Qian family, this seemed completely unreasonable. It was obvious that Qian Yirong had usurped Xu Baiqing's identity and grew up in the Qian family in luxury. After Xu Baiqing came back, she did not return to her rightful place. Instead, she had evil thoughts towards Xu Baiqing and continued to bully her. The Qian family was also confused and treated Qian Yirong as a member of the Qian family.
"What's it to you?" Qian Yirong was already in a complicated mood. She felt guilty about her overreaction and Xu Baiqing watching her sadly. As a result, Mu Zexuan suddenly came up and accused her without any reason, which made her very impatient.
Qian Yirong forgot her disguise for a moment, and her expression became cold. Her aura was fully released, which suppressed Mu Zexuan so much that he even stopped where he was and looked at her in astonishment.
Qian Yirong noticed the sudden silence in the class and thought to herself that something was wrong. She had already seen the book flashing, and she didn't want to be punished by it. Her face changed, revealing a bit of fear. She said in a cowardly manner, "None of your business is my business."
Then Qian Yirong pushed everyone away and left the classroom through the back door. It looked like she was running away. As Qian Yirong left, the others who were intimidated by her also came to their senses.
Just now when Qian Yirong was angry, he suddenly had the feeling of facing the elders in his family. I think it must be their illusion. It was only because Qian Yirong actually lost her temper at Mu Zexuan that he had such a feeling.
Mu Zexuan quickly came to his senses. He walked to Xu Baiqing and looked at Xu Baiqing, who was lowering her head and exuding a depressed aura. He couldn't help but feel a little at a loss. He had never comforted a girl before.
"Bai Qing, don't be too sad. Qian Yirong is that kind of person..." Mu Zexuan said dryly.
And his clumsy look in comforting Xu Baiqing was completely unbelievable in the eyes of those who admired him. After all, the rebellious Mu Zexuan would never behave like this.
This also confirmed that Mu Zexuan had different feelings towards Xu Baiqing, and he might even like Xu Baiqing. Many people were completely unable to sit still. But even if they hated Xu Baiqing deeply, they couldn't take action for various reasons. However, Qian Yirong was a very good choice.
