Lan Tingting is a frequent customer here and goes straight to the women's clothing counter when she arrives at the department store.
There were many styles of clothes on the counter, but they were all ones she had seen before. After looking around twice, she finally found a skirt she liked. Just as she was about to ask the salesperson to bring it to her to try on, a clear and heroic female voice came from behind.
"Cheng Li?"
When Lan's mother heard someone calling her name, she turned around and looked back, with an expression of surprise on her face.
"Sister Lu? We meet again! It seems like we are destined to be together!"
"That's right," Sister Lu smiled, and the next second she looked at her side again, "This must be little Tingting. I haven't seen her for many years, and she has grown into such a beautiful girl."
Lan Tingting never expected that she would meet Zhou Lie, who was accompanying his elders to buy gifts, at this time.
Once my eyes fell on him, I couldn't move them away.
The man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, with a tough and upright look between his eyebrows. After several years of tempering, his temperament became more condensed and steady.
He is tall and strong, wearing a neat military uniform. His bulging muscles are faintly visible, and he carries a strong sense of power.
...
...
Lan Tingting blushed and greeted softly.
"Aunt Lu, Brother Zhou, long time no see."
Seeing her shy look, the two elders looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
These two children have known each other since childhood and have some understanding of each other. If this can be accomplished, it would be a good thing.
"Since we meet by chance, why don't you let me treat you to lunch and catch up with us?" Sister Lu looked at Lan Tingting and Zhou Lie and said jokingly, "Especially you two. The friendship between childhood playmates is the most precious and rare. It's a pity that you have become estranged like this."
"Yeah," Lan's mother also joined in, smiling gently, "It would be nice if we could get closer."
Lan Tingting blushed and her heart beat faster, "Mom..."
Although Zhou Lie has never been in a relationship, he can feel that his mother is trying to bring them together.
"Sorry," the man suddenly spoke, his back straight and his voice cold and hard, "I have something else to do later, so we won't have lunch together. Just send the bill directly to me."
The rejection was too obvious.
Lan Tingting only felt that she was drenched by ice water, and her face turned from red to white.
Seeing that her son showed no respect and seemed ready to turn around and leave, Zhou's mother's face darkened.
"Wait for me a moment."
Zhou Lie stopped as he was told, "Is there anything else?"
Mother Zhou narrowed her eyes slightly, "Do you already have a partner?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Tingting saw his jaw tighten instantly, his expression became even colder than before, and his eyes flashed slightly without being noticed.
"……No."
Watching the man's departing back, Lan Tingting unconsciously tightened her fingertips.
Who was he thinking about just now? !
With Zhou Lie's departure, the atmosphere became awkward. Lan Tingting no longer had the mood to buy clothes and just made up an excuse to say that she wanted to go back.
After the weekend comes a new week.
In front of the main gate of Beicheng High School, a car stopped at the school gate.
Chen Shaotao got out of the car and looked at the familiar scenery in front of him, feeling a little nostalgic.
Soon, another person opened the door and got out of the car.
Chen Shaotao's expression quickly became stiff.
He secretly glanced ahead and really didn't expect that Professor Jiang would come to participate in this year's enrollment presentation.
I heard that another professor was originally here, but was delayed due to some urgent matters. When Professor Jiang heard that he was coming to Beicheng High School, he agreed to help out.
Chen Shaotao usually gets along well with his classmates and has good relations with many teachers, but this young Professor Jiang always looks cold and aloof, giving people the feeling that he is difficult to approach.
The group came to the classroom and took a short rest at the seats arranged by the principal.
Seeing that Jiang Ziqian was resting with his eyes closed, Chen Shaotao did not dare to go up and talk to him. He could only look around bored.
Suddenly, Chen Shaotao saw a familiar figure not far away, and his eyes lit up.
While there was still some time, he quickly slipped over to say hello.
"Comrade Bai Jing, long time no see."
The young man was tall, had long legs and handsome features, and was already quite eye-catching. Now all the attention was drawn to Bai Jing.
Bai Jing smiled politely and said hello.
Seeing the girl smiling at him, Chen Shaotao smiled along with her unconsciously.
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen you in the teahouse these few days. Have you stopped doing it?"
"I told the boss of the teahouse that I would only work there on weekends. It just so happened that I had something to do last week, so I took two days off." Bai Jing replied.
"So that's how it is," Chen Shaotao's smile grew brighter, "Then if I go there this week, I should be able to see you, right?"
Before Bai Jing could say anything, another voice sounded.
"Student Chen Shaotao."
Jiang Ziqian came over at some point. There was no expression on his handsome face. He glanced at Bai Jing indifferently, his eyes deep.
"…It's almost time, go back to your seat."
Chen Shaotao felt a chill running up his spine and subconsciously shrank his neck, saying sorry.
Seeing Jiang Ziqian turn around and leave, he immediately followed him, waved to Bai Jing, and whispered, "Let's see you at the weekend."
Jiang Ziqian paused and his expression became even colder.
Shu Xiaoruan was right next to Bai Jing. She watched the two of them leave and breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
She gently pulled Bai Jing's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
"Jingjing, that person just now... do you know him?"
"Hmm?" Bai Jing did not hide it, "Isn't he just a frequent visitor to the teahouse?"
"Not that."
As Shu Xiaoruan spoke, she raised her head and glanced over there.
I noticed that the man just now was looking over here, his pair of dark eyes like deep pools, cold and heavy.
She subconsciously retracted her hand and lowered her voice, "Another, another one..."
Bai Jing followed her gaze and saw Jiang Ziqian looking at them with a sullen face and deep eyes.
He immediately looked away after being bumped into by her.
Bai Jing understood.
Jiang Ziqian must be jealous!
Maybe he thought Chen Shaotao was here to chat up the heroine, so he was unhappy.
Bai Jing covered her lips and coughed lightly, then looked at Shu Xiaoruan as if she was looking at her own grown-up daughter. Her eyes were inexplicably kind, and a warm smile hung on her lips.
"That's Professor Jiang from Huadu University. What do you think of him?"
Shu Xiaoruan felt that heavy gaze again.
She instinctively stepped back and told the truth.
“It’s a bit scary.”
Bai Jing:......
It's over.
The great professor's secret love is about to end before it even began.
But then again, she remembered that the second male lead and the female lead first met when they were enrolled in Hua University.
There is also the matter of the second male lead agreeing to a blind date.
It feels a bit weird, huh?
