Chapter 40.
The day of departure was a sunny day. Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing each pulled a suitcase and came to the nearby school to gather. Although some students went directly to the airport from their homes, a large number of people came to the school to set off together with everyone.
Knowing that Xu Baiqing would come to school and take the bus together, Mu Zexuan, who had always left home alone before, came to school first for the first time, preparing to take the bus with everyone else who came to school.
The other people either had selfish motives or wanted to watch the fun, so they also gathered at the school early this time. So the students who had originally gathered at the school for convenience discovered Mu Zexuan and others who they thought would not come.
"Why are Mr. Mu and the others here?" Someone asked curiously when they saw Mu Zexuan and the others.
"Don't you pay attention to the school forum?" The classmate next to him was surprised at his ignorance.
"I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't paid much attention to what's going on at school." The man answered honestly.
"No wonder," the man said, lowering his voice. "Recently, the Qian family has added a new member. I heard there's some secret, and Young Master Mu treats her very differently..."
…
Mu Zexuan felt the gazes coming from all directions and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. He didn't want the matter between him and Xu Baiqing to be discussed by others, but now it seemed like everyone knew about it.
"I've already told you that if you want to hide something you shouldn't be so obvious." Qu Qingyu felt helpless when he thought of how his sister had repeatedly told him to take care of Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing before they set off.
Not to mention Qian Yirong, Qu Qingyu is still very unfamiliar with Xu Baiqing, but with the attention Mu Zexuan has shown towards her recently, Qu Qingyu suspects that if he really takes better care of Xu Baiqing, he might be regarded as a love rival by Mu Zexuan.
"Why should we hide it?" Mu Zexuan couldn't help but retort when he heard Qu Qingyu's words. He had a good impression of Xu Baiqing, and of course he didn't want other people to get close to Xu Baiqing, so he showed his good impression of Xu Baiqing so that others would give up.
"Is there really nothing wrong with my aunt?" Qu Qingyu asked with some concern, thinking of Mu Zexuan's strong mother.
After all, his sister is on good terms with that person. If he is really troubled by Mu Zexuan's mother in the future, his sister will definitely stand on Xu Baiqing's side, and then he will not be able to stay out of it.
"Of... course." Mu Zexuan's face became a little unnatural. He obviously knew what his mother was like, but he was not sure whether his mother would like Xu Baiqing. If he really got together with Xu Baiqing, he had no way of predicting his mother's reaction.
Li Jingyan couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw Mu Zexuan like this. He obviously couldn't take care of his family, but he still wanted to take the position next to Xu Baiqing first, regardless of whether Xu Baiqing would be wronged later.
Shen Tianxing quietly watched his friends' words and actions with deep interest in his eyes. It was really interesting. Li Jingyan, who seemed to be completely indifferent, actually cared a lot. Mu Zexuan, who was just beginning to fall in love, had no idea how to get along with the person he liked.
As for Qu Qingyu, it was probably only because of Qu Xueer that he paid some attention to Xu Baiqing. In short, because of Xu Baiqing, the relationship between them had subtly changed, which also made Shen Tianxing more interested in Xu Baiqing.
Not long after, Shen Tianxing saw Mu Zexuan's eyes light up, and he followed his gaze and saw Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing walking over with luggage. Xu Baiqing was pulling the suitcase as if he was saying something to Qian Yirong, and although Qian Yirong showed some impatience on her face, she slowed down her pace so that Xu Baiqing could catch up with her.
Xu Baiqing was originally very happy, after all, he could travel with Qian Yirong, but after seeing Mu Zexuan and others, the smile on his face froze. Didn't Mu Zexuan and others usually go to the airport by themselves? Why were they here?
When Xu Baiqing saw Mu Zexuan wanted to say hello to her, she immediately pretended not to see it and pulled Qian Yirong into the nearest car. After seeing them get in the car, someone immediately followed them, thinking of the rumors on the school forum.
So when Mu Zexuan wanted to get on this car, he found that it was full. He immediately became depressed and had to change to another car. Some people on this car who were originally coming for Mu Zexuan and his group immediately couldn't help but glare at some people on the car who had the same purpose as them.
Originally, I thought that Mu Zexuan had some special feelings for Xu Baiqing and wanted to ride in the same car with her, but I didn't expect that there were so many people here that the car was quickly filled up. I could only watch Mu Zexuan and the others get on another car.
Xu Baiqing was very fortunate. She had already prepared herself mentally for Mu Zexuan and the others to get on the bus, but when she saw other people getting on the bus quickly, Xu Baiqing immediately hoped that the bus would be full soon.
This situation is the best now. She can be with Qian Yirong without being disturbed. So after the car started, Xu Baiqing naturally leaned on Qian Yirong's shoulder and chatted with her in a low voice about some simple topics.
For some reason, the other people in the car who were paying attention to Xu Baiqing always felt that the relationship between Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing was not as incompatible as rumored. At least Xu Baiqing was very close to Qian Yirong.
It even felt like there was an atmosphere between them that no one else could intrude upon, which made those who wanted to get close to Xu Baiqing because Mu Zexuan and the others were not around feel daunted. They always felt that if they disturbed her at this time, not only would they not gain Xu Baiqing's favor, but they would also be disliked by her. So Xu Baiqing arrived at the airport with Qian Yirong without being disturbed along the way.
Shengde High School is wealthy, and there are classes with the same destination on this school trip, so they simply chartered a plane, which makes it easier to manage. Xu Baiqing still plans to sit with Qian Yirong.
It only took half an hour to get from the school to the airport, but it took longer to fly from their city to Zhuya City, a full three hours, which was just enough time to spend more time with Qian Yirong.
But after she and Qian Yirong found a seat and sat down, a flight attendant came to her and quietly asked her to go to first class. Xu Baiqing immediately knew who was responsible for this.
Obviously, she didn't give Mu Zexuan any ambiguous signals, but Mu Zexuan was still somewhat attentive to Xu Baiqing, as if he regarded Xu Baiqing's keeping distance as reserved and shy, and only wanted to develop further development with Xu Baiqing.
Of course Xu Baiqing refused outright and said that he would sit here. The flight attendant couldn't persuade Xu Baiqing, so he had to leave. However, the commotion here had already attracted the attention of the people sitting around.
Xu Baiqing listened to the whispers of the people around him and felt very annoyed when all the eyes were on him. His favorability towards Mu Zexuan, which was already low, became even lower.
On the other side, in the first-class cabin of the plane, Mu Zexuan, who was waiting longingly, only saw the flight attendant returning alone. After the flight attendant said that Xu Baiqing refused the upgrade, Mu Zexuan became depressed.
"Zexuan, you are too clingy, aren't you? No one would like a man like you." Qu Qingyu joked.
"Then what do you think I should do?" Mu Zexuan asked back in a self-deprecating manner after hearing Qu Qingyu's words.
"You have to be patient and not be so impatient," said Qu Qingyu.
"You're right," Mu Zexuan thought of Qu Qingyu's constant girlfriends and immediately asked for advice, "Qingyu, you have a lot of experience, so give me some advice."
"Ah? This..." A guilty expression flashed across Qu Qingyu's face. Although he had the reputation of being a playboy, but in fact, those were not considered as love affairs at all. Asking him to give advice, Qu Qingyu felt that it would be useless.
But looking at Mu Zexuan's expectant eyes, he could only bite the bullet and say some general knowledge. However, as Mu Zexuan's eyes became more and more admiring as he spoke, Qu Qingyu's guilty conscience disappeared and he became more and more confident.
Shen Tianxing looked at them, one of them dared to speak, the other dared to believe, the smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared, and he looked at Li Jingyan, who had been a little interested, but after listening for a while, he realized that it was just talk, and the two of them tacitly did not interrupt Qu Qingyu's "teaching" to Mu Zexuan.
Xu Baiqing, who had no idea what kind of embarrassment he would encounter next, grabbed Qian Yirong's hand after the plane took off. Xu Baiqing squeezed his five fingers into Qian Yirong's fingertips, completing the gesture of interlocking fingers.
"Sister, I'm really looking forward to the upcoming trip." Xu Baiqing said.
"Yeah." Qian Yirong agreed. She was not in a very good mood. After all, she couldn't find a way to bring Xu Baiqing back to her world these days. But the only good news was that if she completed the final plot, the book would give her a reward. Now Qian Yirong only hoped that the reward was that she could ask Xu Baiqing to bring her back to her world.
Xu Baiqing noticed that Qian Yirong was in a low mood, and she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. Ever since she guessed that Qian Yirong might leave, or leave in a way that she would never find her again, Xu Baiqing had been forcibly suppressing the panic in her heart, treating every day as if it were her last. If she didn't want Qian Yirong to hate her, Xu Baiqing would have wanted to hide Qian Yirong in a place only she knew.
Qian Yirong hadn't had a good rest recently, so after the plane stabilized, she slowly fell asleep while listening to Xu Baiqing's gentle words beside her. Xu Baiqing found that she was asleep when Qian Yirong didn't respond to him for a while.
Xu Baiqing asked for a thin blanket from the flight attendant and carefully covered Qian Yirong with it. Seeing Qian Yirong slowly leaning on his shoulder, Xu Baiqing's expression softened.
For some reason, the cabin, which was originally quite lively, gradually became quiet after Qian Yirong fell asleep, as if sleepiness was contagious. Many people fell asleep, so no one noticed that a kiss gently fell on Qian Yirong's forehead.
