Wen Ying hadn't seen Bai Jing for a while. She looked at her son and then at her, and felt that the atmosphere between the two was... indescribably strange.
He didn't show it on his face, he still had a gentle smile on his face, and told them it was all right.
Bai Jing came back to her senses and first greeted several elders, and then obediently called out "Teacher Jiang".
Jiang Ziqian habitually concealed his emotions. At this moment, he calmly withdrew his gaze and responded with a light "hmm".
Jiang Han had just asked someone to add a few more dishes and his eyes fell on them. He did not miss any opportunity to bring the two of them together and had a smile on his face.
"What's the matter? You two should see each other often in school, right? There's no one else here, we're all family, there's no need to be so reserved."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on them again.
Bai Jing quickly adjusted her mindset and responded with a slight smile.
Mr. Jiang also looked over here, his eyes moved between the two of them, and he naturally asked about her academic progress.
"Not bad," Bai Jing was rarely modest in front of her elders. She glanced in Jiang Ziqian's direction, showing her serious and correct attitude towards study. "I will also try my best in the upcoming final exams."
...
...
Old man of the Jiang family had a very good impression of this little girl. Now, hearing her say this, his usually stern brows softened a little and he said yes repeatedly.
At this time, Tang Xiaotang also pulled Bai Jing's sleeve, with a proud expression on his face, and said that he had also made progress in recent tests.
Bai Jing touched her head and said with a smile, "Xiaotang is awesome."
Qin Shaole also ran over and looked at her with bright eyes, "Cousin Jingjing, I also got a perfect score on the test this morning!"
Bai Jing raised her eyebrows and also reached out to touch the top of his head, "Le Le is also great."
Several adults couldn't help laughing when they saw this, and they all said why all the children liked her.
Xiaotang acted quickly and pulled Bai Jing to the seat next to him. Lele was sitting between his parents. Now he also wanted to sit next to his cousin, so he looked at Jiang Ziqian who was sitting on the other side.
But no matter how he looked at the other person with expectant eyes, the latter seemed not to see him. Then he heard his mother calling him to go back to his seat to eat, so he could only pout slightly and obediently return to his previous seat.
Bai Jing had lived with Jiang Han for almost a year before. Even now, she would go there from time to time to tutor Xiaotang, so Jiang Han was quite familiar with her taste. The few dishes that were added earlier were all Bai Jing's favorites.
Although Bai Jing tried her best to be restrained, she still ate a little too much without realizing it.
Jiang Ziqian noticed that she seemed a little uncomfortable, tilted his head slightly, and asked in a low voice.
"……What's wrong?"
Bai Jing couldn't hold it in and burped lightly, her face slightly red. Seeing that no one around her was looking at her, she replied in a low voice.
"Nothing, just a little too much."
Jiang Ziqian pursed his lips slightly, stood up from his seat and found the clerk next to him.
I don't know what he said to the other party, but the latter nodded, went to the counter and came back to hand him the things in his hand.
When Jiang Ziqian left, everyone else was chatting with each other. They thought he was just going to the bathroom, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
Seeing him come back now, and not knowing what he brought for Bai Jing, the eyes of everyone at the table became inquiring again.
But this guy always looks cool and calm. Even when being watched by so many people, there is not much expression on his face. He picks up the chopsticks calmly and elegantly and continues to eat slowly.
Everyone could only look at Bai Jing.
But she seemed to have learned from Jiang Ziqian. Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, her facial expression did not change much and she maintained a faint smile.
If Wen Ying had only a vague feeling before, that feeling was even more obvious now.
Although the two of them didn't seem to have much eye contact, and during the meal, they perhaps only said three or two sentences.
But something just wasn't right between them.
It was as if there were several invisible tight threads connecting the two of them.
As long as one of them moves, the other person's eyes will shift in a similar direction even if he or she is not looking at the other person.
Others might not be able to see it, but Wen Ying is Jiang Ziqian's biological mother after all. She has been with him for more than 20 years, but she has never seen him pay so much attention to someone.
And it’s... Bai Jing.
Wen Ying recalled the dream in which the little girl ran over and said that the Jiang family was responsible for it. Although she had thought it was a bit absurd before, her heart skipped a beat and she swallowed unconsciously.
...isn't it going to come true?
She finally understood. Even though Wanwan's kindness was so obvious and her conditions in all aspects were pretty good, her son never paid much attention to her.
Coupled with Jiang Han’s performance just now and the suggestive words he said before.
Thinking of this, Wen Ying couldn't help but look in the direction of Jiang Han. Unexpectedly, the other party was also looking in this direction and winked at her and smiled.
That look seemed to be saying, see what I said before.
Wen Ying felt a little complicated.
I silently withdrew my gaze and decided to follow him.
After the meal, Jiang's father and old man Jiang went home first. The others heard that there would be a fireworks show in the central square, so they prepared to go and watch it.
Jiang Ziqian had planned to go back after dinner, but when he saw Bai Jing going to the central square, he didn't mention leaving first.
Because there are not many fireworks shows, there were unexpectedly many people in the central square, and they were broken up into several groups.
Xiaotang had been holding Bai Jing's hand tightly. When she turned around and found that her mother was gone, she shook Bai Jing's hand again and shouted nervously, "Sister Jingjing!"
Bai Jing didn't expect there would be so many people. When she saw someone squeezing over from behind, she pulled Xiaotang closer to herself to protect her. At the same time, she held her little hand tightly and told her not to worry.
Her voice is clear and clean, and her speaking speed is neither fast nor slow. Listening to her makes you feel at ease.
Xiaotang always believed in her unconditionally. At this moment, she let out a sigh and nodded very obediently.
Seeing that the fireworks show was about to begin, the people at the back were pushing forward again.
Bai Jing was protecting Xiaotang and had no way to raise her hands to block. Just when someone was about to push her, the person next to her suddenly reached out, gently grasped Bai Jing's wrist, and pulled her and Xiaotang towards him.
Bai Jing was stunned.
Although I haven't seen clearly who that person is, I have already smelled the familiar cool breath.
When he looked up, he found that it was Jiang Ziqian. He couldn't help but smile in surprise, and his crisp voice was clearly joyful.
"Teacher Jiang."
