Chapter 39.
After tossing and turning all night, Xu Baiqing naturally felt weak when he woke up the next day. Moreover, because of his extremely fair skin, the slight dark circles under his eyes were very noticeable.
"Bai Qing, good morning." Qian Yirong greeted Xu Baiqing when she saw him. In stark contrast to Xu Baiqing, Qian Yirong was full of energy. She was not a person who would hesitate. Since she had made up her mind, she would naturally start to act.
Although she doesn't know if she can get what she wants, she has tried her best. When she thinks about it later, she will have fewer regrets. However, perhaps because her plot in the book is relatively simple, she has not found a way to break the deadlock.
"Good morning, Rongrong." Although Xu Baiqing was not in good spirits, he still cheered up and responded.
"Didn't you get enough rest yesterday?" Qian Yirong easily noticed Xu Baiqing's tiredness and asked with concern.
"Yes, a little, but it doesn't matter." Xu Baiqing said.
Qian Yirong knew that what she said yesterday must have had an impact on Xu Baiqing, and she suddenly felt a little regretful. Perhaps she shouldn't have been impulsive last night. It might have been better to discuss it with Xu Baiqing if she had some clues.
"Yesterday... don't think too much about it." Qian Yirong could only say these words in the end, but because of this, Qian Yirong discovered her own selfishness.
Maybe she was impulsive yesterday, but she also thought that if she left, the old Qian Yirong might come back, and Xu Baiqing might discover the gap between the two, but in the end, because of her, he would continue to be close to "Qian Yirong" before completely giving up, which she didn't want to see.
Perhaps because her story was about to end, she risked being punished by the book and wanted to show her difference in front of Xu Baiqing. No matter what she thought of her, she would not be troubled by their friendship in the future.
Qian Yirong sighed. After all, it was her first time falling in love, so it was inevitable that she would make some inappropriate moves. It was no use regretting it now. After all, based on her understanding of Xu Baiqing, she knew that he was not someone who would give up easily.
Maybe she will realize the difference between herself and "Qian Yirong" later and will try every means to find her. If that is the case, it will be too difficult for Xu Baiqing. It seems that if there is no way to get Xu Baiqing to go with her, then she can only find a way to make Xu Baiqing stop being obsessed with her before she leaves.
Qian Yirong made up her mind, so she invited Xu Baiqing to have breakfast. Xu Baiqing regained some spirit and seemed to agree with Qian Yirong's words. She did not mention the conversation between the two of them last night.
The two of them came to school after breakfast. The school trip was about to start, and there was a big exam before the trip. Although some people didn't care about these exams, there were also people who took the exams seriously.
Before, Xu Baiqing had to be in the top ten in her grade in order to get the school scholarship. Although she no longer has to worry about money, she has not relaxed herself and has tried her best in every exam. As for Qian Yirong, she had no intention of standing out, so she controlled her answers during the exam and did neither well nor badly.
Perhaps because he no longer had to worry about making a living, Xu Baiqing actually surpassed Shen Tianxing, who had always been the first in the exam, and became the first in the grade.
This made Shen Tianxing, who was already somewhat curious about Xu Baiqing because of Mu Zexuan, even more concerned. If it was just a girl that Mu Zexuan liked, he might just be curious for a moment, but if she was someone whose grades surpassed his, then it would be worth Shen Tianxing's special attention.
So when Mu Zexuan found out that the destination of Shen Tianxing and his class's school trip was also Zhuya City, he was a little surprised. After all, with the wealth of Shengde High School, the school trip would not all go to one place, but would be organized according to the students' preferences and classes.
It is very rare for people to meet at the same destination, not to mention that the place they are going to is not a particularly popular tourist destination. To be able to meet at the same destination like this can only be considered as a stroke of luck.
Mu Zexuan only thought that Shen Tianxing and Qu Qingyu wanted to laugh at him, so they specially asked their class to go on a school trip together, but he didn't know that Shen Tianxing had lost interest in Xu Baiqing.
The day before the school trip, Xu Baiqing went to Qian Yirong's house to stay temporarily on the grounds that Qian Yirong's house was closer to the school and he could have a better rest. Since the conversation that night, Xu Baiqing became even more attached to Qian Yirong.
Qian Yirong also indulged Xu Baiqing's actions because she might not get what she wanted, because Qian Yirong found that the changes she could make before her story ended were very limited. She couldn't even figure out whether she would return to her own world or stay here after completing the story.
If she wanted to leave, she didn't know how. If she stayed, would it mean that only after the whole story was over could she take Xu Baiqing, the "female protagonist", away with her?
In short, everything is unknown, and Qian Yirong cannot look at it in the most objective way. Even if she is trapped here and dies, don't blame her for trying to destroy all the plots. After all, if it weren't for the guess that she might be able to go home after completing the plot, Qian Yirong would not be willing to be a puppet.
It was time to decide everything, and Qian Yirong couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, so when Xu Baiqing hugged the pillow and said he couldn't sleep and wanted to chat with her, Qian Yirong agreed.
Two people were lying side by side on the wide bed. The small lamp on the bedside table emitted a soft light, so that the room was not completely plunged into darkness. They said they wanted to chat, but after entering the room and lying on the bed, Xu Baiqing did not speak. The only sound in the room was the two people's breathing.
An unknown amount of time had passed. Qian Yirong originally thought that she would not be able to sleep with one more person in the room, but with Xu Baiqing's even breathing, she slowly felt sleepy.
"Rongrong..." Xu Baiqing's voice was soft.
"Yeah." Qian Yirong also responded softly.
"We are going to Zhuya City tomorrow. Do you have anything to tell me?" Xu Baiqing asked.
Even though she hadn't figured it out before, Qian Yirong did become a little emotional after the school trip was announced, so there was no doubt that something would happen on this school trip.
"...If I tell you that I will do something to hurt you, what do you think?" Qian Yirong asked after a moment of hesitation.
"Did Rongrong want to hurt me on purpose?" Xu Baiqing turned over and faced Qian Yirong, looking at her and asked.
"Of course not." Qian Yirong retorted without even thinking.
"That's all right then," Xu Baiqing chuckled. "Rongrong didn't mean to hurt me, just like before, right?"
Qian Yirong knew that Xu Baiqing was referring to the incident in the gymnasium equipment room. After all, she had made no secret of her intention to lock Xu Baiqing in the equipment room. Although she had made preparations in the equipment room in advance, she was still dragged into the equipment room by Xu Baiqing.
"Yeah." Qian Yirong admitted.
"In that case, there's nothing to worry about. It's enough for me to know that Rongrong didn't mean to hurt me. As long as you don't leave me, anything is fine." Xu Baiqing approached Qian Yirong, hugged her arm and rubbed it with satisfaction.
"...Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow." Qian Yirong had no way to make a promise, so she could only gently touch her head and change the subject.
Xu Baiqing didn't say anything after hearing this, but her eyes became deeper. Without Qian Yirong's promise that she would not leave, Xu Baiqing felt uneasy. How could Rongrong be so naughty? It seemed that she had to find a place to lock Rongrong up so that she would not leave her.
Qian Yirong was unaware that Xu Baiqing beside her was thinking about dangerous things. Instead, she felt more relaxed because of Xu Baiqing's proximity. Not long after the room became quiet, Qian Yirong fell asleep with even breathing.
"Rongrong, Rongrong..." Xu Baiqing, who noticed this, called softly, but Qian Yirong did not respond.
Seeing this, Xu Baiqing quietly got up and looked at the sleeping Qian Yirong in the soft light of the bedside lamp. This was not the first time she saw Qian Yirong sleeping, but unlike before, this time she was not uninvited.
Xu Baiqing just looked at Qian Yirong who was sleeping quietly, with all kinds of strange thoughts in his mind, wanting to hide her, but as he looked at her, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Qian Yirong's slightly parted red lips.
The faintly visible pearly teeth and the even more crimson existence deeper inside attracted her attention. Xu Baiqing slowly leaned over as if bewitched until she touched something soft.
Xu Baiqing suddenly woke up, stood up abruptly, and covered her lips. Her face was flushed, and she didn't dare to think about what she had just done. She...she kissed Qian Yirong. Xu Baiqing quickly lay down.
This was her first kiss, although it was not romantic at all, and even the person she kissed might not know it, but now when she recalled the feeling just now, Xu Baiqing felt only sweetness in her heart.
Next time... Next time will be when both of them are awake, Xu Baiqing thought so, his excitement slowly subsided, and he slowly fell asleep in the gradually spreading breath of Qian Yirong.
The next morning, Qian Yirong woke up first. She heard a breathing in the room that did not belong to her, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was actually a person with a very strong sense of territory. Before, let alone sleeping next to her, even if she was outside her room, she would not be able to sleep so soundly.
Qian Yirong stood up and saw Xu Baiqing sleeping with even breathing. Unlike when she was awake and always smiling, her brows were slightly wrinkled, her lips were slightly pursed, and she looked a little troubled.
Qian Yirong felt a little pain in her heart when she saw her like this, and subconsciously reached out to smooth her brows. Seeing Xu Baiqing's expression gradually calm down, Qian Yirong's mood also improved a little. However, it was getting late, so Qian Yirong planned to prepare breakfast before calling her.
