Bai Jing's mind was racing with thoughts, but her hands didn't stop moving.
Soon she brewed a pot of tea, served a portion of cake, put it on a tray and handed it over.
Jiang Ziqian saw Bai Jing walking towards him gracefully, and he quickly placed tea and snacks on the table.
Perhaps for the sake of convenience in movement, she rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, revealing a section of her fair and slender arms. Her skin was thin and tender, and the light blue veins could be vaguely seen.
Bai Jing gently lifted the teapot, and the clear tea fell into the cup, spreading bursts of elegant tea fragrance.
A thin mist enveloped the girl's soft and fair face, as if covering her with a mysterious veil.
Bai Jing poured the tea, said "enjoy your meal", and then returned to the counter.
Thinking that it was a blind date party and she probably had nothing to do with it, Bai Jing picked up the notebook again and silently memorized the contents.
I had just memorized two pages when another customer came to the store.
"Sister Qu! I'm here..."
...
...
A handsome young man walked in cheerfully, and when he saw a strange pretty girl standing behind the counter, he was stunned at first, then his face turned slightly red, and he said embarrassedly.
"Ahem, um, isn't Sister Qu here?"
Bai Jing put down the notebook and smiled at him, "The boss has gone out and should be back soon. You can wait here for a while."
The girl's voice is very pleasant, like a pure and clear mountain spring, pleasing to the ears.
The young man's eyes lit up, and he came up to the counter with a smile, speaking in a familiar and enthusiastic tone.
"Are you Sister Qu's new employee? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Bai Jing chuckled and said, "I've only been here for two days."
"I see. Give me a cup of tea then." The young man looked at her smile and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose. He then continued, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Chen Shaotao. What's yours?"
Bai Jing had no impression of this name. She thought that this name was just a background character in the book, just like herself.
She nodded slightly and replied, "Bai Jing."
"Comrade Bai Jing," Chen Shaotao said her name with a silly smile on his face, "Your name is really nice."
His attention was all on Bai Jing, and he didn't notice that there were other customers in the store. He spoke at his normal volume.
Jiang Ziqian had no intention of eavesdropping, but his conversation came across clearly.
The dark eyes slightly raised, and the gaze fell directly in the direction of the counter.
Looking at the two of them chatting happily, especially the smile on Bai Jing's face, the man's expression did not change much, but the fingertips holding the teacup unconsciously retracted.
Du Wan was very satisfied with the blind date in front of her. Not to mention the Jiang family's background, the fact that he could become a professor at Hua University at such a young age and was also so handsome and gentle, showed that he was a rare and good match.
My cheeks get hot when I think of the happy life after marriage.
She looked across shyly, but to her surprise the other person wasn't looking at her at all, but was just looking coldly towards the counter.
Du Wan turned her head and looked over there, just in time to hear the young man's hearty laughter.
"...You are really amazing. You have only been here for two days and you have done such a good job!"
Du Wan frowned in dissatisfaction, feeling that the man's voice disturbed their meeting.
But when she turned around again, the woman was smiling again, and her tone was kind and gentle.
"What a lively young man."
Jiang Ziqian withdrew his gaze, picked up the teacup and took a sip, with deep emotions in his eyes.
He was just about to say sorry to the other party when a clanging sound suddenly came from not far away, and Chen Shaotao shouted anxiously.
"I'm sorry! I, I didn't see the kettle here. I'll take you to the health center now!"
He was so distracted that he knocked over the water bottle without noticing. The hot water inside splashed onto Bai Jing's arm, which turned red almost instantly. A burning pain like a needle pricked him continuously from her arm.
Bai Jing had cold sweat on her forehead and she gritted her teeth to swallow her cry of pain.
Fortunately, the water was not freshly boiled, otherwise bubbles would definitely form.
"It's okay," she walked to the sink and turned on the faucet to cool her hot skin. "I'll just rinse it off. The temperature isn't particularly high. It's not that serious."
When Chen Shaotao heard this, he immediately said, "Then I'll get you some ice!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome and tall figure came in front of them, and no emotion could be heard in his cold voice.
“No ice.”
Chen Shaotao felt that the voice seemed familiar. He looked up and saw the person coming, and his expression was stunned.
"…Professor Jiang?"
Jiang Ziqian hummed lightly and his eyes fell on the girl's arm.
Although she said it was not serious, her fair skin was already covered in large areas of redness, which was very shocking to see.
The man frowned and asked again.
“Is there any medicine in the store?”
Bai Jing had only been there for two days and the boss happened to be away, so she could only shake her head and couldn't explain clearly.
Chen Shaotao suddenly came back to his senses, "I'll go buy it now!"
As he spoke, he ran out the door and soon came back with gauze and burn ointment.
It's just that Young Master Chen is used to a life of luxury at home and knows nothing about these things. Even though he has the medicine, he has no idea what to do.
Bai Jing's hands soaked in cold water for ten minutes, and the temperature had completely dropped.
Although the skin was still a little red, fortunately no blisters appeared.
Jiang Ziqian's brows relaxed slightly. He turned around and saw Chen Shaotao looking embarrassed. He took the ointment and gauze from him and personally applied the ointment and bandaged Bai Jing's wound.
The cool ointment soothed the pain in her hands, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Jing wanted to thank Jiang Ziqian, but when she looked up she was stunned.
The man in front of me lowered his dark eyes, his expression was as cold and indifferent as usual, but his hands moved very lightly, giving me the strange illusion of being gently cherished.
She forgot to look away for a moment.
Maybe she stared for too long, the man noticed and raised his eyelids, and their eyes met.
It happened suddenly and they were relatively close to each other, so Bai Jing could clearly see the reflection in his eyes and her heart skipped a beat.
...it's over.
She was caught peeking at someone and will probably be considered a nymphomaniac. The second male lead will definitely dislike her even more after that.
Bai Jing felt uneasy and quickly looked away, pretending nothing had happened.
She saw Chen Shaotao standing beside her, staring at her hands nervously, with a look of guilt on his face.
Seeing Bai Jing looking at him, he asked hurriedly.
"How do you feel? Are you still in pain? Do you want to go to the clinic?"
"I'm really fine now. Thank you for buying the medicine for me," Bai Jing smiled softly. "After all, it was because I didn't tighten the lid tightly. Fortunately, I didn't spill it on you."
Jiang Ziqian paused.
He first saw the smile on the girl's face, then glanced at Chen Shaotao's slightly blushing handsome face, and couldn't help but recall what she said about finding a good family in the city.
So, the Chen family is a well-known wealthy family in North City, with a large family business. Chen Shaotao himself is also very hardworking. He was admitted to Huazhong University with the first place in the past two years. He is a prominent figure in Huazhong University, which is full of talented people.
He is really young, handsome and rich.
Jiang Ziqian's face darkened.
...Have you found your target yet?
