Seeing Jiang Ziqian was about to look over here, Bai Jing instinctively hid to the side and turned into a blind spot before being seen by the other party.
After doing all this subconsciously, I felt it was a bit ridiculous.
No, why would she hide?
When Bai Jing was about to muster up the courage to go out again, the female student had already blushed and invited Jiang Ziqian to participate in the New Year event together.
The result was, unsurprisingly, rejected.
Bai Jing raised her foot and then silently retracted it. After all, this situation should be quite embarrassing, so she just waited there.
A cold voice came faintly to my ears from that direction, the tone was cold and calm.
"...I have no plans...I'm focusing on studying."
Bai Jing was stunned.
I always feel like these words were spoken to her.
...
...
So this is what he thought. Was she really thinking too much?
Bai Jing let out a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat fortunate that she arrived a little late.
Otherwise, if she really rushed up to him and asked him what he thought of her, and got a cold reply telling her to study hard, she might be so ashamed that she would burst into pieces.
Or I feel too good about myself.
Seeing the girl running away with her face covered, Bai Jing sorted out her messy thoughts. Just as she was about to leave secretly, she was stopped in advance.
"Bai Jing."
Men's voices are always pleasant to hear.
I feel like my name sounds even better when it comes out of his mouth.
The voice was cold and calm, and even though a student had just confessed his feelings to him, no fluctuations could be detected in his voice.
Bai Jing turned around and met the man's eyes. Almost instantly, she made up her mind to pretend that she had heard and seen nothing.
So now he smiled easily, "Ah, it's Teacher Jiang, what a coincidence."
Jiang Ziqian's gaze fell on her face, and the pause was only a few seconds, but Bai Jing felt her heart beating faster and time seemed to be stretched, as if an hour had passed.
Then I heard the other party speak again.
“Just now you…”
Bai Jing couldn't suppress her heartbeat, but luckily she managed her facial expression well. When she heard his words, she just tilted her head slightly and came up with an excuse that sounded very motivated, "Hmm? I just got here too, and was going to borrow some books to study. What happened just now?"
Jiang Ziqian didn't move his eyes away and continued to look at her.
After a while, he looked away, pursed his beautiful thin lips, and said in a light tone, "...It's okay."
Bai Jing felt that he should have seen through it, but he didn't seem to be prepared to pursue the matter. The next second, she put on a well-behaved look, nodded slightly, and said, "Then I'll go study first."
Walking into the library, Bai Jing saw that Jiang Ziqian didn't follow her. She looked towards the door for a few seconds, then looked away as if nothing had happened.
Bai Jing returned to her uncle's house only after her foot injury was completely healed, so that her uncle wouldn't worry about her injury again.
"Jing girl," Qin Yang hadn't seen Bai Jing for a few days. Now they were eating at the same table, and he couldn't help but pick up some more food for her. "I see you haven't come back often recently. Is the exam coming up soon?"
Bai Jing thanked him and replied yes.
"The exam week is in mid-January. I've been reviewing recently. I'll be able to have a good rest after the exam."
"Oh, that's really fast," Qin Yang nodded and said with a smile, "Although studying is important, you should also pay more attention to your health. You know, you are usually in a trance when you concentrate on reviewing. When you were preparing for the entrance examination of Beijing High School, you even forgot to eat!"
Bai Jing smiled and nodded in agreement.
As we were talking, we somehow ended up talking about Jiang Ziqian again.
"...Speaking of studying hard, he was well-known in the school at the time. He was very demanding of himself, strict and self-disciplined. It was probably because of this that he could become a professor at Huazhong University at this age. It's really amazing."
Jiang Ziqian is only a few years older than Bai Jing. When Qin Yang said this, she could imagine in her mind Teacher Jiang, who was a little younger and more immature than he is now, and was very serious and focused on studying.
"By the way," Qin Yang looked at Bai Jing again, his tone gentle, "Jing girl, have you thought about your future job? I heard that you occasionally work part-time at the TV station, and you tutor Xiaotang every week? Are you also interested in being a teacher or something?"
Bai Jing didn't expect that they would talk about the future so suddenly.
I still remember that when I first entered the book, all I wanted was to find a good job after graduating from university, with high pay, little work, and close to home, so that I could live a carefree life alone.
I just wanted to say this, but I couldn’t say it directly, so I just chuckled.
"The first semester isn't even over yet, it seems a little too early to be thinking about this now."
"That's right," Liang Xinrou glanced at Qin Yang and served Bai Jing a bowl of soup. "Besides, Xiao Jing is such a good student. Maybe she won't become a teacher or go to the TV station. She can directly devote herself to scientific research and make contributions to the country."
Lele just started primary school this year. When he heard this, he immediately thought of what his classmates talked about during recess. He looked at Bai Jing with admiration, "Cousin Jingjing, are you going to be a scientist?!"
Bai Jing didn't say yes or no, but instead threw the question back calmly.
"Lele, do you want to be a scientist in the future?"
So the topic at the dinner table changed from Bai Jing's intentions after graduation to Lele's ambitions when he grows up.
The meal was filled with laughter and joy, and was harmonious and peaceful.
After dinner, Bai Jing prepared to go back to school.
But before he went out, Qin Yang called him back. While Liang Xinrou was taking Lele for a walk, he whispered to Bai Jing.
"Tian Yu came to see me a few days ago. I heard that he wanted to meet you and apologize to you. He also hoped that you would not pursue the matter further and ruin the rest of Bai Wenwu's life..."
He paused here and looked at Bai Jing seriously, "...Why would she say that? Did something happen?"
Qin Yang was very busy at work during that period of time. He would receive a new task right after he finished one job. He was so busy that he could hardly keep his feet off the ground.
He had just returned from a business trip this week, and before he had time to rest, Wen Yu came to him and cried to him with tears and snot.
He said that he had taken care of her for more than ten years, and now he just wanted to see her no more.
Qin Yang looked at Bai Jing again and knew that his niece's son was actually quite strong-willed. Even if something happened, she would try her best to solve it by herself and didn't want to make him worry.
After hesitating for two seconds, he asked.
"…Is there anything I can help you with?"
