Chapter 30.
"In that case, the person who locked you and Sister Rongrong up also made a significant contribution." Qu Xueer said with a smile as she listened to Xu Baiqing telling her about what happened to Ge Qian Yirong in the equipment room yesterday.
"Yeah, I'm afraid 'she' didn't expect it to turn out like this." Xu Baiqing smiled. Although she showed her vulnerable side in front of Qian Yirong, she felt distressed for herself. As the old saying goes, feeling distressed for someone is the starting point of falling in love.
"Although the consequences of this incident are not too bad, the person who locked you and Sister Rongrong up must have malicious intentions. Sister Bai Qing, do you have any suspects?" Qu Xueer asked, obviously wanting to avenge her and Qian Yirong.
"The candidate..." Xu Baiqing's mind flashed to a certain person. Although Qian Yirong was just going along with it, that person was clearly trying to instigate Qian Yirong to deal with her. Furthermore, it seemed like that person had actually followed her and Qian Yirong to the gym. Wasn't that perfect? So Xu Baiqing said, "I actually saw someone following Rongrong and me."
"Who is it?" Qu Xueer suddenly became alert and asked.
"It seems to be Bai Jingqiu from our class, but she has no conflict with Rongrong and me, so it shouldn't be her who did it." Xu Baiqing said.
"She..." Qu Xueer was silent for a while, and after thinking about it, she remembered who Bai Jingqiu was. Generally speaking, she and Qian Yirong were not in the same class. Except for familiar people like Mu Zexuan, she probably didn't have much impression of the students in her class. But she was not unfamiliar with Bai Jingqiu.
It can be said that whenever Mu Zexuan is around, Bai Jingqiu will be there. Although Bai Jingqiu has not made any moves to get close to Mu Zexuan, Bai Jingqiu will usually be present at every event that Mu Zexuan participates in.
Qu Xueer narrowed her eyes. She knew that Mu Zexuan had become close to Xu Baiqing recently, and she had also heard gossip. If she was not mistaken, perhaps Bai Jingqiu was also one of Mu Zexuan's admirers.
Then Xu Baiqing, who is close to Mu Zexuan, will naturally become a thorn in her eyes. However, one cannot draw conclusions based on one's own speculation. Qu Xueer said that she would investigate Bai Jingqiu's whereabouts yesterday.
Xu Baiqing nodded and said that the matter would be left to Qu Xueer. Qu Xueer became closer to Xu Baiqing because Xu Baiqing did not treat her as an outsider at all.
After the two of them finished washing up, they leaned close to each other. Qu Xueer could discuss with Xu Baiqing how to get close to Chang Xian. After all, Xu Baiqing was the only person she could discuss emotional matters with.
Xu Baiqing knew from Qu Xueer's narration and what she had investigated that the Qu family was not at peace now. Although Qu Xueer was still favored, that favor was false. Perhaps only her brother truly loved her.
As for her father, he had no idea how many illegitimate children he had, and he was very wary of her brother. Only Qu Xueer, who posed no threat in his eyes, received a bit of superficial favor.
If anyone knew that she liked a woman, not to mention that she would definitely be locked up as a family disgrace, Chang Xian would also be the target of her anger. So Qu Xueer didn't dare to show her love for Chang Xian in front of other people. She could only pretend that she admired Chang Xian because she was saved by her.
A glimmer flashed in Xu Baiqing's eyes when she heard this. In her opinion, Qu Xueer was wasting her advantage. It was a good thing that her father was not on guard against her. She could know many secrets that others could not know. Compared to her brother taking the position, of course, it would be better for her to take the initiative and get the freedom she wanted.
However, Xu Baiqing looked at Qu Xueer, who had grown up in a pampered state, and knew that she had never thought about this aspect at all. But it was not impossible to guide her. The matter of Chang Xian was just a fuse. Even if Qu Xueer could not be together with Chang Xian in the end, she had realized that her freedom was limited, and she could change herself for the future.
So Xu Baiqing guided Qu Xueer calmly. She certainly wanted to become an ally with Qu Xueer rather than dealing with her troublesome-looking brother. If the other people's positions as heirs were not relatively stable without sisters, Xu Baiqing would have wanted to get to know their sisters and find a way to do the same.
On the other side, Qian Yirong casually wiped her hair half dry, changed into pajamas and lay on the bed. She and everyone else had taken a day off today. Not to mention that the others had almost stayed up all night looking for her and Xu Baiqing, even she and Xu Baiqing didn't get a good rest.
So on the way back, she discussed it with someone and naturally planned to have a good rest. Qian Yirong was lying on the bed, but she couldn't help but recall the image of Xu Baiqing in the equipment room, with his eyes closed and curled up in her arms, his eyelashes trembling.
This was the first time she saw Xu Baiqing so fragile. Unlike her previous pale appearance which was disguised, she was really scared at that time. Qian Yirong couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her heart. She had to admit that she felt very distressed for Xu Baiqing at that time. It was a feeling she had never had before.
She had never had such feelings for anyone before, but no matter how slow she was, she could guess the reason why she became like this from the thumping of her heartbeat after she hugged Xu Baiqing for too long.
She had never had any romantic feelings for anyone, but she was a little moved by Xu Baiqing. Qian Yirong raised her hands to cover her eyes. This was not okay. Not to mention that Xu Baiqing might be a character in the book, and she couldn't give up her family and friends to stay here.
What's more, after this plot ends, there will not be many of her plots. The previous plot is that Xu Baiqing, who was locked up in the equipment room by her, was rescued by Mu Zexuan. This is not the first time she has targeted Xu Baiqing.
And with the pressure from Mu Zexuan, the Qian family asked her to move out of the house. Although they didn't give up on her completely, they also felt like they wanted to draw a clear line with her. So she went completely crazy, thinking that it was all Xu Baiqing's fault and wanted to make her disappear.
So he secretly asked her out during the school trip and planned to push her into the sea, but was caught by Mu Zexuan who followed him secretly because he was worried about Xu Baiqing. After that, he dropped out of school and disappeared and had no more roles.
That is to say, Qian Yirong speculated that after she "wrote", there was a high probability that she would return to her own world. She would not stay here for much longer, and any deep feelings that had not yet developed could be nipped in the bud in time. Something crystal clear quickly slid from the place covered by Qian Yirong's hands and sank into her wet temples.
Qian Yirong fell asleep at some point, but her body seemed to be wrapped in water, giving her a familiar yet strange feeling. She seemed to hear her mother's voice, as if it came from the water surface, vague and unclear.
"...Is there really a fluctuation?" The mother's voice was excited, as if she was asking something.
"It's true... I didn't expect it to be possible... If it succeeds... it will be a groundbreaking invention..." The other voice was very unfamiliar, but like the mother's, there was excitement in the voice.
Listening to the conversation between her mother and another person, Qian Yirong felt like something vague was about to emerge from the depths of her mind, but it finally died down. At this time, she heard the voices of Qu Xueer and Xu Baiqing.
"...What happened?" Xu Baiqing's voice was nervous and anxious.
"It's just a little fever. Just wait until Miss Qian wakes up and let her take some antipyretics." A clear female voice replied.
Qian Yirong opened her heavy eyelids and found that the sky had become a little dark. She had slept from morning to evening, but after waking up, she immediately felt unwell.
"Sister, you're awake." Xu Baiqing, who had been paying attention to Qian Yirong's condition, immediately noticed that Qian Yirong had woken up, so he went to her bedside and said, "Xue'er and I slept for a while and woke up to look for you. We found that your face was red. We quickly called the school doctor and found that you had a slight cold. How do you feel now?"
"...I feel a little uncomfortable. I want to drink some water." Qian Yirong opened her mouth and found that her throat was very dry and painful.
"There is warm water here, and some antipyretic medicine given by the school doctor. But your sister has been sleeping all day, so I prepared some porridge. Eat it first and then take the medicine." Xu Baiqing said as he helped Qian Yirong up and let her lean on him. Qu Xueer handed over the porridge of the right temperature that was placed on the table next to her.
Qian Yirong leaned on Xu Baiqing, almost being held in her arms, and then a spoonful of warm porridge was handed to her mouth. Qian Yirong paused for a moment, but still ate the spoonful of porridge.
"...I can do it myself." After eating this spoonful of porridge, Qian Yirong was really not used to this situation and said dryly.
Xu Baiqing did not force her and carefully placed the bowl in Qian Yirong's hand. Although Qian Yirong felt a little sore, she still had the strength to hold the bowl. As the warm porridge slid into her stomach, Qian Yirong's body seemed to be injected with vitality.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, she felt much more energetic. At this time, Xu Baiqing handed the antipyretic medicine and warm water to Qian Yirong. Qian Yirong was not a person who was afraid of illness and she took the medicine naturally.
Xu Baiqing watched Qian Yirong take the antipyretic medicine, then helped her lie down and looked at her eagerly. Qian Yirong felt a little uncomfortable under Xu Baiqing's gaze. To be honest, she really didn't expect that she was obviously healthier than Xu Baiqing, but she was the one who got sick, while Xu Baiqing looked pale and sick, but he looked like nothing happened. She didn't know who was in better health.
Seeing that no one needed her help, Qu Xueer didn't want to be a third wheel downstairs, so she made an excuse and slipped away. Suddenly, the only people left in the room were Qian Yirong, who hadn't slept at all all day and whose face was slightly red because of the fever, and Xu Baiqing, who was worried about her condition and kept looking at her.
