Jiang Ziqian pursed his lips and said calmly.
"It's still early."
"It's not early at all," Jiang's mother looked at him helplessly, "Look at Xiao Wu and Xiao Zhao, they are about the same age as you, and their children can run and jump at home. But you are different. In two months, you will be 24, and you don't even have a partner."
Jiang Ziqian didn't respond, but just picked up the bowl and drank some porridge.
Seeing that he looked indifferent, Jiang's mother said helplessly.
"I'm not asking you to meet today and get married tomorrow. I'm just introducing you to each other so that you can have a cup of tea and chat. It's good if you get to know each other, but if it doesn't work out, you can at least be friends."
As she spoke, she nudged Jiang's father next to her with her elbow.
Father Jiang looked up from the newspaper and saw his wife winking at him frantically, so he also helped to persuade her.
"Your mother has a point. Don't you have to be together for a year or two before getting married? It's enough to just get to know each other now... Or do you already have someone you like?"
Jiang Ziqian paused, his mind uncontrollably recalling the dream from the previous night, but he quickly denied it.
...
...
"No."
My son has always had a cold temperament and his tone rarely shows any emotional fluctuations.
But at this moment his speaking speed was unusually fast.
Jiang's mother couldn't help but look at him twice more and said suspiciously.
"Yeah?"
Jiang Ziqian also realized something and lowered his eyes.
...Is it because I always saw Bai Jing before?
Or is it because I don’t have anyone officially in a relationship that I think of her again and again?
Jiang Ziqian's eyes darkened.
Jiang's mother wanted to give her some more advice, but she saw her son suddenly raise his eyes and said expressionlessly.
"Then let's meet."
Jiang's mother didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She even couldn't help but doubt her own ears and let out an "ah" in a daze.
Jiang Ziqian put the bowl back on the table, stood up from the chair calmly, and said lightly.
"I still have classes, so I'll trouble you with the time arrangement."
Maybe if he just met the other person more often, that person would stop popping into his dreams so casually.
Jiang's mother came back to her senses, a surprised smile quickly appeared on her face, and she quickly said it was no problem.
As if afraid that he would go back on his word, she quickly set a meeting time with them.
The other person is one year younger than him and is a junior whom Jiang Han met at the station. He is mainly responsible for writing press releases. Since both of them have to go to work on weekdays, they finally made an appointment to meet on the weekend.
Jiang Ziqian arrived at the agreed teahouse early. As soon as he walked through the door, a pure and clear voice came from the front.
"Welcome."
The familiar voice startled Jiang Ziqian slightly. When he looked up, he saw Bai Jing standing in front of him with a standard business smile on her pretty face.
...Why is she here?
Bai Jing was also surprised.
The favor the heroine wanted to ask her for before was to cover for two days here on weekends.
It just so happens that Lele’s birthday is at the end of the month. Bai Jing has received a lot of care from her uncle’s family, and she also wants to prepare a good gift for her cousin.
She had been planning to find another part-time job, and since she could also ask the heroine to owe her a small favor, she readily agreed immediately.
The owner of the teahouse was a young woman in her twenties. At first, seeing Bai Jing's appearance and temperament, she thought she was a daughter from some wealthy family and was worried that she would not be able to do these things.
Unexpectedly, Bai Jing learned so quickly and seriously, and her hands and feet were very quick and she got the hang of the job in a short time.
The boss was very satisfied with her and asked her if she wanted to work part-time on weekends in the future.
There were no customers in the store at the moment, and the boss received another notice to go to the office to collect some information, so he left Bai Jing to look after the store.
Bai Jing had nothing to do anyway, so she took out her notebook to look up some knowledge points.
Just after I finished watching a section, I saw a customer about to enter the store.
Bai Jing quickly put the notebook aside, put on a gentle smile on her face, and greeted the visitor.
At the same time, he saw the other person's face clearly and was stunned.
...Why did the second male lead come here?
The last time the two met was at Mr. Jiang’s birthday party.
Bai Jing grabbed his hand quite offensively at that time, and originally planned to apologize to the person after he came back, but he just left and never came back.
When we bumped into each other by chance, I felt a subtle sense of awkwardness for some reason.
Jiang Ziqian came back to his senses quickly, his eyes paused on Bai Jing's face for two seconds, and then he calmly withdrew his gaze.
He hummed lightly, turned around and found a seat in the corner to sit down.
The man looked like he was waiting for someone, but he didn't show any impatience. He sat upright and elegantly, with a calm and cool temperament, like a modest gentleman, with clear breeze and bright moon.
He has an overly handsome face. Even if he usually has no expression and looks like he is keeping people at a distance, he can easily attract other people's attention.
Not to mention that he changed into a shirt and vest today, which further highlighted his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His straight trousers had no wrinkles, his black leather shoes were polished to a shine, and his hair was even simply styled. His cool and indifferent expression, coupled with his serious and formal attire, gave off a seductive sense of abstinence.
Bai Jing kept a smile on her face, but she couldn't help guessing in her heart.
Could it be that the second male lead knows that the female lead is working here and wants to take advantage of her before the male lead comes back?
After a while, a woman in a light blue plaid dress walked into the teahouse. Her eyes were almost instantly fixed on Jiang Ziqian, and two blushes appeared on her pretty face.
"I'm sorry, you must be Professor Jiang Ziqian, right?" The woman raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ears, with a gentle and demure demeanor. "I'm Du Wan. Something happened at the office just now, so I was delayed for a few minutes. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Before Jiang Ziqian could say anything, a clicking sound came from the direction of the counter.
The two of them naturally looked in the direction of the sound.
Bai Jing reacted quickly. She squatted down to pick up the notebook that had fallen on the ground. She put on a standard professional smile, took the menu and walked towards their seat.
"What kind of tea would you like to drink?"
Du Wan sat down on the chair leisurely, took the menu, looked at it, and said softly.
“Any recommendations?”
Bai Jing introduced in a businesslike manner.
"We recently received a new batch of Pu'er tea, which has a mellow taste, smooth aroma, and sweet and soft taste. We also have the osmanthus cake, which is specially provided in the season. It is smooth and refreshing, with a rich aroma and sweet but not greasy."
"It sounds good," Du Wan looked at Jiang Ziqian tenderly and smiled slightly, "What do you think?"
Jiang Ziqian glanced at Bai Jing and saw that she didn't even look at him. It was clear that she was pretending not to know him, and the emotion in her eyes was unclear.
He pursed his lips and spoke in a cold voice.
"That's all I'll take."
"Okay," Bai Jing quickly put away the menu and nodded, "I'll bring it to you two right away."
Although her face was calm, she was more surprised than before.
Teacher Jiang actually came here for a blind date!
That’s not right. With the second male lead’s personality, how could he agree to a blind date?
Did something unexpected happen?
