A very new word suddenly popped out of Lu Liang's mouth, and everyone was a little confused.
The man who had teased him earlier also let out a cry, "What?"
Lu Liang raised his index finger and waved it, his tone mysterious.
"You haven't heard of it either, have you? This is a new word I learned from Sister Jing."
When they were chatting together before, he urged Bai Jing to chase Professor Jiang, and Sister Jing said that he was eating watermelon or eating watermelon rind. Although he didn't quite understand what it meant, Sister Jing was wrong.
As he spoke, he looked up, not knowing why he was so proud.
Everyone looked at each other, still a little confused. Fortunately, everyone had a good understanding ability and understood what he meant after a little thought.
"Oh? Sister Jing said that?" The person next to him imitated his words and laughed, "Then which couple are you talking about?"
Lu Liang was just about to share something when he saw Bai Jing and Shu Xiaoruan moving things to the office. He said he would talk to them next time and quickly went forward to help.
I thought I might be able to see Professor Jiang when I got to the office, but I didn't expect he was not there, and his expression was somewhat disappointed.
...
...
By the way, I asked Shu Xiaoruan if she wanted to go to the game next week.
"Is it next Monday?" The girl thought for a moment, her expression becoming a little hesitant. "...It's hard to say. Although I really want to go, I have something to do that morning. I don't know when I can finish."
"We should be able to make it in time," Lu Liang said based on the information he had heard. "The competition doesn't start until 2:30 pm. The venue is in the conference hall of their school. It's not far from here. Even if we just walk there, it will only take 20 minutes."
Shu Xiaoruan nodded and said okay.
The three of them agreed on a time and place to meet, and planned to go watch the game together.
Afterwards, they each returned to their own dormitories. Shu Xiaoruan had packed her things the day before and was now carrying her luggage, preparing to leave school.
Bai Jing saw that she was carrying a lot of things, so she asked her if she needed help.
Shu Xiaoruan blushed, "Will this be too much trouble for you?"
"fine."
Bai Jing guessed that the male protagonist would definitely come to pick someone up, and the car would either be parked downstairs of the dormitory or at the school gate. She would just take it as a way to stretch her legs after the exam, and by the way, she could also see the young couple and relax a little.
Unexpectedly, they had just come out of the dormitory building and had not taken a few steps when they saw Jiang Ziqian, whom they had not seen in the office just now.
The unexpected meeting caught Bai Jing off guard. She was stunned for half a second before she came to her senses and greeted the other party as usual.
Although the other party taught them classes in the second half of the semester and they could see the professor every week, Shu Xiaoruan still felt inexplicably afraid of him, especially when the man glanced at her indifferently, she subconsciously leaned towards Bai Jing.
Of course, I didn't forget the courtesy and followed my friend to say hello.
Jiang Ziqian responded, his eyes fell on the luggage in Bai Jing's hand, "...Are you preparing to go home?"
Bai Jing had previously submitted an application to stay on campus. Except for a few days in the first month of the lunar year when she would go back to her uncle's house, she would live in the dormitory at other times.
However, she habitually thought that he was asking about Shu Xiaoruan's situation, so she didn't respond at this moment and just cast her eyes on her friend.
And the next second after Bai Jing looked over, Professor Jiang also looked over.
Shu Xiaoruan quickly responded with a "yes" and said that someone from her family was there to pick her up and was waiting at the school gate.
Jiang Ziqian glanced at Bai Jing's hand again. Although there was no expression on his face and the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, his actions were unexpectedly enthusiastic.
He stretched out his hand in Bai Jing's direction and said calmly, "It looks like there are a lot of things. Let me help you get them."
Before I could react, the luggage in my hands had already been taken away.
Bai Jing was stunned for a moment. After seeing the man, she didn't say much, but walked straight towards the door.
For a moment, she was not sure whether this meant that she didn't have to carry the heavy objects or that she didn't have to go with them.
However, they were still some distance away from the school gate, and Shu Xiaoruan didn't dare to follow the cold and serious Professor Jiang alone. She immediately picked up a light bag and handed it to Bai Jing with an earnest look in her eyes.
Bai Jing was in a complicated mood, but she didn't show it on her face. She took the bag from Shu Xiaoruan and said softly, "Let's go."
The group of three walked forward in silence. No one spoke along the way. The atmosphere was subtle and weird.
Seeing that Shu Xiaoruan looked uneasy, Bai Jing took the initiative to bring up a topic, hoping to liven up the atmosphere a little.
"By the way," she looked at Shu Xiaoruan with a smile on her face, "Did you finish the last question today? I think it's quite interesting."
Shu Xiaoruan:?
Why are you suddenly talking about the exam? !
Otherwise you should just be quiet!
Shu Xiaoruan shook her head and was about to say that she had not finished the last question, but she did not expect that Professor Jiang, who had remained silent before, would join the topic without any warning.
"How do you answer that?"
Although the tone was still cold and calm, a hint of patience could be heard in it.
Jiang Ziqian had tutored Bai Jing before, so Bai Jing was already accustomed to this kind of conversation. She quickened her pace and walked to the man, and explained her ideas for solving the problem in a very serious manner.
“…Is that roughly the case?”
After Bai Jing finished speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at the other person, trying to see some expression on the man's face to judge whether her answer was correct.
Jiang Ziqian thought for a few seconds and suggested a direction from another angle.
Seeing the two of them discussing the topic directly as if they were the only two people in the world, Shu Xiaoruan was a little dumbfounded.
Why?
Where are they taking her luggage?
Although Shu Xiaoruan wanted to interject, she couldn't find a moment to do so, so she could only listen silently from behind. As she listened, she felt that what they both said was very right, so she followed their train of thought.
Oh! It turns out that question can be answered this way!
Zhou Lie originally wanted to drive the car directly to the dormitory building, but Shu Xiaoruan said that she felt a little embarrassed and asked him to pick her up at the school gate.
He arrived at the school gate more than ten minutes ahead of the agreed time. Not long after waiting, he saw several familiar figures walking out of the main entrance of Hua University.
The people walking in front were none other than Xiaoruan’s friend Bai Jing and Professor Jiang at that time.
The two seemed to be discussing something. Although their tone sounded calm, there was an inexplicable sharpness in their voices, as if they were not willing to give in to each other. They were clearly holding small soft objects in their hands.
Shu Xiaoruan followed behind them, with an expression on her face that sometimes showed confusion and sometimes showed sudden enlightenment.
I originally thought that Shu Xiaoruan would come over on her own when she saw him.
He never expected that the three people would walk straight past him.
Zhou Lie:?
What's going on?
