Bai Jing was explaining a problem to Xiaotang when the old man came out of the study.
I originally wanted to ask Wen Ying if she had seen where his spare pair of glasses was, but after hearing Bai Jing's voice, I couldn't help but walk over and listen for a while.
Bai Jing didn't notice it at first, until Xiaotang lowered his head to do his homework and she wanted to pick up the cup to take a sip of tea, then she noticed the old man standing next to her.
She was slightly stunned, afraid of interrupting Xiaotang's thoughts by speaking out, so she nodded slightly to the other party as a simple greeting.
The old man had met Bai Jing several times before and had a good impression of the girl. However, this was the first time he saw her tutoring Xiaotang. He found that some of her ideas were quite novel and her mind was quick. Whenever Tang Xiaotang made some mistakes, she would be able to discover and correct them in the first time.
In addition, the speaking voice is pleasant, the tone is clean, the pronunciation is clear, and the speaking speed is neither too fast nor too slow, so attention can be easily attracted.
No wonder Jiang Han said Xiaotang’s academic performance has improved a lot over the past year.
The old man nodded and didn't bother them anymore. Instead, he walked straight towards Wen Ying.
Wen Ying had just tidied up a pot of orchid and was about to trim the asparagus fern next to it when she saw the old man coming. She put down what she was doing and called out, "Dad."
The old man first asked about the glasses, nodded after getting the answer, and then seemed to remember something and asked again.
...
...
"I saw Xiaotang and Baijing studying over there...but how did they get here? Where is Ah Han? Where is she now?
"I heard that it happened suddenly, so the work was moved up." Wen Ying repeated to the old man everything Bai Jing had told her before, and sighed softly at the end, "...she brought Xiaotang here."
The old man understood the situation, looked at the clock at home, and said.
"Where's Ziqian? It's vacation time now, and he doesn't have to go to class, so why is he still living in school every day? Ask him to come back for dinner."
Wen Ying responded with a sigh, looking somewhat helpless, "I do want him to come home more often for dinner, but you know that child, it's really hard to get him to move."
The old man didn't say anything, just glanced at Bai Jing.
Wen Ying suddenly had an epiphany and understood what the other party meant.
She thought to herself that the old man's eyes were as vicious as ever, and it seemed that he had noticed it earlier than she did.
Wen Ying made a phone call, and after the call was connected, she chatted with him for a while, asking him what he had been busy with recently and why he didn't come home for dinner.
Jiang Ziqian said that he still had some things to deal with and would probably not be home for two days.
"Really?" Wen Ying sighed exaggeratedly, and said casually, "I never thought that I would be able to have dinner with Xiaotang's teacher later, but I couldn't even see my son..."
Her tone was full of regret, and she hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to react.
Not long after she hung up, the phone rang again.
Wen Ying said "Hey man" in her heart, but looked as if she didn't notice anything. She answered the phone and asked gently who it was.
However, the voice that came from the other end of the phone was not Jiang Ziqian's voice as she thought, but another female voice that she was also very familiar with.
“Ah, it’s connected!”
Du Wan exclaimed briefly, then politely said hello, "I'm Du Wan, is Teacher Wen free now? There was a problem with the previous manuscript, and if possible, I'd like to show you the new one so you can check the contents."
Wen Ying has always been serious about her work, and she frowned slightly at this moment, "Then I will go back to the office now?"
"No need. This matter was originally caused by my mistake. Asking you to come and help suddenly has already caused you trouble," Du Wan said with a smile on her face. "You are at home now, right? I just finished the last manuscript and am nearby. If it is convenient for you, I can bring it to you directly."
Wen Ying didn't think much about it and said yes.
Du Wan didn't let her wait long. About ten minutes after she hung up the phone, the doorbell rang.
"I'm sorry to bother you again."
Du Wan smiled apologetically, holding a few file bags in her hands, and looked quite busy indeed.
In fact, she vaguely noticed something.
When she was chatting with Wen Ying before, they would talk about Jiang Ziqian from time to time.
Recently, their relationship seemed to be no different from before, but Du Wan was keenly aware that the other party had rarely mentioned Jiang Ziqian in front of her since she didn't know when.
...Did I accidentally make a mistake in front of others?
Du Wan didn't want all her efforts to be inexplicably drifting away from her and all go to waste.
So she found an excuse that day and thought of meeting Wen Ying to find out what had happened and see if she could try to salvage the situation.
Wen Ying was unaware of what was going on in her mind. She just thought that something had gone seriously wrong at work. She didn't think much about it and led the people to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
Du Wan had just taken out one of the file bags and before she could say anything, she heard a pleasant and familiar voice coming from the other side.
Isn’t this... Bai Jing’s voice?
Du Wan paused for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
It’s really Bai Jing!
Is she dazzled?
Otherwise, why would I see her here?
What is she doing here?!
Countless possibilities flashed through Du Wan's mind, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became more and more obvious. She even felt her fingertips become cold and she could not feel anything.
"Wan Wan?"
At this moment, Wen Ying suddenly called her.
Du Wan realized that she had been distracted and suddenly came back to her senses. Although she pretended nothing had happened, she was actually very nervous inside and her eyes were all focused on that side.
She took a deep breath and handed the manuscript to be checked to Wen Ying.
While Wen Ying was reading the manuscript, Du Wan looked towards Bai Jing again.
I noticed that there was a little girl sitting opposite Bai Jing. One of them was talking while the other was listening. It looked like they were helping each other with homework, but for some reason I had a very strange sense of déjà vu.
It feels like... Bai Jing seems to fit in very well in this family.
Du Wan looked in Bai Jing's direction and tightened her fingertips slightly.
The other person seemed to have noticed her gaze, and suddenly looked up and stared at her for a long while.
Then he gently curved the corner of his lip.
To her, that was a provocative expression.
