Hearing someone calling her name, Bai Jing looked up.
"It's really you," Jiang Han walked up to her with his daughter by the hand and said with a smile, "I passed by here to pick up Xiaotang from school. I didn't expect to run into you by chance."
Bai Jing greeted politely.
Jiang Han noticed that she was carrying a lot of things in her hands, and couldn't help but ask her curiously where she was going.
"The school dormitory is full," Bai Jing smiled helplessly, "I'm just about to go back to my uncle's place."
"You are carrying so many things, it's so troublesome to run around," Jiang Han smiled heartily and said enthusiastically, "Just stay at Aunt Han's place tonight, and we can talk about other things tomorrow."
Bai Jing was startled, "This seems to be too much trouble for you."
"What's the trouble?" Jiang Han patted her hands. "Xinrou's niece is like my niece. Don't be polite to me."
The other party invited her again and again, and Bai Jing couldn't refuse the kindness. Besides, she really needed to take a short break, so she didn't refuse and just said thank you with a smile.
Jiang Han's residence is very close to Beicheng High School, and it takes less than ten minutes to walk there.
...
...
After settling Bai Jing into the guest room, she went to the kitchen to cook.
Bai Jing felt embarrassed to see Jiang Han working alone, and just when she wanted to lend a hand, she was rejected.
"It's said that guests are guests, so it's unreasonable to let guests into the kitchen. Tonight, let Aunt Han show you her cooking skills. Just sit down for a while and we'll be able to eat soon."
Since the hostess said so, Bai Jing didn't insist anymore.
Looking back, I saw Tang Xiaotang lying on the table doing homework, his little brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had encountered a particularly difficult question.
When Jiang Han brought out the dishes, he saw Bai Jing explaining a question.
The girl has a beautiful voice, correct pronunciation, and speaks at a moderate pace, which makes her very comfortable to listen to.
In addition, her explanation was simple and easy to understand. Xiaotang soon showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and quickly calculated the correct answer.
Jiang Han's eyes lit up and he had a good idea.
After dinner, she found Bai Jing and asked if she wanted to stay and tutor Xiaotang.
Tang Xiaotang's academic performance is not very good. She is busy with work and her husband Tang Ming is in the team all year round, so they can't monitor her studies every day.
Jiang Han had wanted to hire a tutor before, but had never found a suitable one.
Now seeing that Bai Jing has excellent grades, a gentle personality, gets along well with Xiaotang, and is also the niece of a good friend, he trusts her very much.
"...This is the situation in our family," Jiang Han held her hand, smiling warmly and cheerfully, "My place is close to the school, so it's convenient for you to go to school, and you don't have to find a part-time job. Do you want to consider it?"
Jiang Han had obviously thought about her and the treatment he offered her was quite good.
Bai Jing felt that if she hesitated for even a second, it would be disrespectful to the other party, so she smiled and nodded and said yes.
Although there were some minor setbacks, in the end, I was able to enter the school smoothly.
However, Bai Jing has not forgotten her goal, and will not relax or slack off because of this.
She usually attends classes seriously at school during the day, tutors Xiaotang after school, and studies independently during the rest of the time.
During the weekend, Bai Jing would go back to her uncle's house, have dinner with them and talk about her recent situation.
Perhaps because her previous review was quite effective, and she already had a certain foundation, Bai Jing was able to keep up with the course progress easily.
He also became good friends with the female protagonist who sat at the same table with him.
It was their turn to be on duty that day, and Bai Jing returned to the classroom early in the morning.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Shu Xiaoruan standing in front of the blackboard, holding a blackboard eraser covered with dust in her hand, mechanically brushing the same area repeatedly, her mind drifting to who knows where.
Seeing that the surroundings had been cleaned, Bai Jing walked forward, took the eraser from her hand, and reached out to erase the chalk writings in other places.
Shu Xiaoruan blinked blankly, and finally came to her senses.
"... Quietly?"
Bai Jing smiled lightly, "Morning."
"Good morning," Shu Xiaoruan smiled a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, I was just thinking about something and didn't notice that you came back."
Bai Jing put the eraser back on the podium, clapped her hands, and casually asked, "Are you in trouble?"
"It's not a big deal," Shu Xiaoruan intertwined her fingers in front of her, the tips of her index fingers lightly touching, "There's a dance performance at the beginning of next month, and the teacher said she could give me a recommendation, and I'm wondering if I should go."
When Bai Jing heard the words "dance performance", her eyes lit up.
She is familiar with this plot!
It was in this performance that the hero met the heroine for the first time and was left with a stunning first impression of her.
Thinking of this, Bai Jing couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and said happily.
"Then go ahead. It's a rare opportunity. Maybe you can join the art troupe in the future!"
Shu Xiaoruan was a little moved.
But if she participated, she would have to go to rehearsals on weekends and would not be able to work in the store.
But this happened to be the busiest period of time, and her boss might fire her and hire someone new, and she would have to find another part-time job afterwards.
She hesitated for a while, and finally looked at Bai Jing and asked in a low voice.
"Jingjing, can you... help me?"
On the other side, Jiang Ziqian was having breakfast with his family.
The man pursed his lips, his brows were cold, his gaze was fixed on the table in front of him, but his thoughts drifted far away.
He dreamed of Bai Jing again last night.
Or rather, I've been dreaming about her lately.
At first, the girl just stood in front of him obediently, with the corners of her eyes slightly curved, and called him Teacher Jiang in a crisp voice.
Sometimes she would unexpectedly bump into his arms, slightly tilt her face upward, and look at him with her eyes filled with moonlight.
Occasionally, she would look eccentric and aggressive, with her slender wrists crossed on her waist and a high-spirited smile between her brows.
Or maybe it was just like last night, when the two of them were sitting there discussing a topic, but Bai Jing suddenly grabbed his hand.
Before he could react, she had already sat in his arms, a sweet smile on her soft and fair face, her delicate fingertips falling on his body, restlessly teasing him everywhere.
Seeing that the hand was about to fall to his waist, he suddenly woke up from his dream, his whole body tense and numb, and his heartbeat rumbling beside his ears.
This is not right.
He knew very well the purpose of Bai Jing coming to North City, and he always hated people like her. No matter how beautiful she was, he would never be nice to her...
Jiang Ziqian's face was grim, and the corners of his lips were tightened.
Jiang's mother, who was standing next to her, sensed something was wrong, put down the bowl of porridge in her hand, and turned to look at her son.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Ziqian came back to his senses upon hearing the voice, his expression returned to his usual cold and indifferent state, and his emotions were deeply suppressed.
"nothing."
Of course Jiang's mother didn't believe it.
But she also knew her son's character. His mouth was like stone. If he didn't want to talk, no one could pry him out.
If only he had someone close to him...
Thinking of this, Jiang's mother suddenly remembered something and spoke again.
"By the way, didn't your aunt say last time that she wanted to introduce a girl to you?"
