Bai Jing came back to her senses and saw that Jiang Ziqian was still holding her hand. The small piece of skin where their hands were touching felt slightly numb, as if a tiny electric current was passing through it.
Her heartbeat, which was already uncontrollable, now beat louder and louder, as if clamoring to let the people behind her know what she was thinking.
Not daring to look at the other person's expression, he gently withdrew his hand and thanked him quietly.
Jiang Ziqian saw a slight redness on the side of her ear and his eyes were slightly deep. He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a few coughs, not too heavy or too light, from the side.
He looked up and saw his grandfather raising his chin to the side.
This is in public, and there are a lot of people watching!
Jiang Ziqian just realized that a group of people had gathered around them. They had probably come to watch the writing at first, but now they were looking at the two of them with shining eyes, as if they were there to enjoy the show.
Bai Jing also saw that there were a lot of people gathered outside, but she didn't know any of them, so she didn't care much.
Just thinking about how Mr. Jiang had been standing next to them just now, staring at the two of them, and how she was so engrossed in thinking about the dance she had done with Jiang Ziqian before, it was really...
Bai Jing coughed lightly and tried hard to suppress her heartbeat. As if nothing had happened, she took the written couplet to the old man and asked him how it went.
...
...
The old man took a closer look and found that the writing was quite good. The overall framework was grand and regular, the strokes were graceful and neat, and it combined both hardness and softness.
When the old man heard Bai Jing say that it was her first time writing, he didn't have too many expectations at first, but he didn't expect the result to be so good. Now he praised it without hesitation.
As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of Jiang Ziqian.
I thought this guy was really a piece of stupid stone.
Look, he's pretty good at this...
All the red paper for writing couplets had been used up. Bai Jing properly put away the couplets that Jiang Ziqian had written for her, and helped the old man organize his tools. Then she heard the other party inviting her to go back to Jiang's house for lunch at noon.
Bai Jing was still thinking about finding an opportunity to give the scarf away. When she heard what Mr. Jiang said, she naturally smiled and agreed.
But they had just returned to Jiang's house and she hadn't had time to take out the scarf before Jiang's father called Jiang Ziqian away again.
Bai Jing:......
It turns out that if you hesitate you will fail!
Bai Jing didn't find a suitable opportunity to give the gift, and after lunch she didn't want to disturb the Jiang family's rest, so she took it back to her uncle's house.
Qin Yang saw that her expression was a little regretful and thought that Jiang Ziqian had refused the gift. He hurriedly said a few words of comfort, saying that Professor Jiang had always been strict with himself and that there might be a rule that he could not accept gifts from students casually. He asked Bai Jing not to take it too seriously.
Bai Jing was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect this to happen. She nodded slightly and said she understood.
Time flies and it is New Year’s Eve. I heard that there will be a gala on TV this year with many wonderful programs.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lele quickly turned on the TV.
I didn't expect that as soon as I heard the sound, I heard Bai Jing's voice coming from the TV.
Bai Jing was helping to make dumplings at the dining table. When the voice came out, everyone in the room looked over to her.
Qin Yang laughed and said, "You're amazing, Jing girl. Now people all over the country have heard it."
Even Bai Jing herself was stunned.
Then I remembered that I seemed to have a job before, which was to read a blessing and say some words about the future.
She originally thought it would be used for regional broadcasting, but she didn't expect it to be played directly at the beginning of the party. No one told her about it beforehand, which really surprised and delighted her.
As soon as the clock struck midnight, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside. Before those on this side were finished burning out, new ones started over there. The crackling sound was incessant, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder and sulfur.
Lele's excitement never stopped. Even with his ears covered, he ran outside to watch the firecrackers explode.
Qin Yang was already outside, and Liang Xinrou was worried about his safety, so she naturally followed closely to prevent any accidents from happening.
Bai Jing was suddenly the only one left at home. Her eyes shifted to the phone next to her. By the time she realized what was happening, she had already picked it up and dialed a number.
While waiting for the call to be connected, my heartbeat also intermittently followed the beeping sound.
But she didn't have to wait too long. She soon heard the phone being picked up on the other end. A clear, steady and pleasant voice came from the receiver pressed against her ear, gently sweeping across her eardrum.
"Happy New Year."
Bai Jing tightened her fingertips holding the receiver slightly, lowered her head slightly, and a slight curve appeared on her lips that she didn't even notice. Her clear and clean voice was tinged with joy, and she chuckled with the first greeting of the year.
"Happy New Year, Teacher Jiang. May you be healthy and successful in everything."
Jiang Ziqian naturally recognized Bai Jing's voice at once, but he didn't expect it was her calling. He was stunned for a moment, and the next second he heard the loud sound of firecrackers coming from that side.
"Yeah, you too..."
The man pursed his thin lips very lightly, but still failed to suppress the curve of his lips. His eyes softened, "May your wishes come true and your studies progress."
Bai Jing's eyes suddenly narrowed.
It’s none other than the academic genius Jiang Ziqian wishing her academic progress!
Then her results this year will definitely not be better!
Both of them seemed to be waiting for the other to speak. No one said anything, but neither of them hung up the phone.
Although it was very noisy outside, they seemed to be in a peaceful place here, and they could even hear each other's faint breathing.
The air seemed to become a little sticky.
Bai Jing moved her lips slightly and was about to say hello to the other members of the Jiang family when she heard Xiaotang's voice vaguely coming from the other side.
"Who are you talking to on the phone?"
Jiang Ziqian seemed to hesitate for a moment, then he lowered his voice and replied, "...your sister Jingjing."
They were clearly just a few ordinary words, and their pronunciation was impeccable, but Bai Jing felt that every word she heard carried an inexplicable sense of tenderness.
It was like a light little hammer, tapping gently on her head with each word, echoing in her mind like the sound of a bell.
Bai Jing couldn't help but raise her hands and cover her face to avoid making strange laughter.
The main thing was that she never expected to hear the three words "Sister Jingjing" from Jiang Ziqian's mouth...
It really caught people off guard.
On the other side, when Xiaotang heard that it was Bai Jing calling, a bright smile appeared on his little face. He came forward excitedly and shouted loudly into the microphone.
"Happy New Year, Sister Jingjing!"
