Shu Xiaoruan called Zhou Lie over with just one phone call.
Although she had known for a long time that this was the most efficient way to solve the problem, Zhou Lie was busy with important tasks after all. If she could handle it herself, she naturally didn't want to trouble a man to make a special trip.
But now that roommate insisted on saying that the handbag was stolen from her.
It was clearly a gift from Zhou Lie to me!
So without further hesitation, he dialed the number that he had already memorized.
Zhou Lie didn't let her wait too long. He soon appeared at the door and said seriously that he bought it in the store himself. He also took out the shopping receipt.
The man already looked heroic and majestic, and just standing there with an upright manner was already very convincing.
Now that he can produce solid evidence to prove that he was indeed the one who bought it, the truth is naturally self-evident.
Upon seeing this, the roommate had no choice but to completely dispel his doubts. Although his tone was a little reluctant, he still bowed his head and apologized earnestly.
The dormitory manager has seen a lot of people over the past few decades. Not only can she see through some of the little tricks in the dormitory, but she can also judge people without making any mistakes.
...
...
Just like the man in front of him, tall and handsome, with a reserved edge and a strong aura, he looks like an officer in an important position.
At this moment, he naturally came forward and said with a smile.
"Thank you for making this special trip. Today was an unexpected incident. Shu Xiaoruan is usually very well behaved in the dormitory and never makes trouble," she said, her eyes flickering between the two of them, her tone a little tentative, "You two are..."
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Lie.
They noticed that Zhou Lie was looking at Shu Xiaoruan, and then they all looked at her.
Shu Xiaoruan's face felt hot, especially since she had just found... She was too embarrassed to say that the other person was her fiancé, so she just thought he was her brother who took good care of her.
Zhou Lie's face darkened.
...Is he really that embarrassing?
Not even willing to admit their relationship in front of their friends?
Or...
His gaze shifted and fell on Bai Jing over there.
Bai Jing, who was happily eating melon on the side:?
No, wait a moment.
What does this have to do with her?
Bai Jing said that she would not take the blame for this and silently shrank back into the corner.
"Oh? So you're Xiaoruan's brother. You really love your sister." The dormitory manager looked at Zhou Lie and felt that such a good guy was rare. "Comrade, are you dating? I have a niece who just turned 20 this year. She's pretty and virtuous. Do you want me to introduce her to you?"
After the dormitory manager's series of moves, both Zhou Lie and Shu Xiaoruan were visibly stunned.
Bai Jing looked between the two of them, lowered her head, and suppressed the smile on her lips.
...Well, the protagonist is worthy of being the protagonist, he is popular wherever he goes.
Shu Xiaoruan was still in shock, but Zhou Lie reacted quickly, with a serious expression on his face, "Sorry, I already have a partner."
As soon as these two words came out, Bai Jing saw Shu Xiaoruan's ears turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look around at all.
Bai Jing was just about to laugh when she heard her aunt whisper with a hint of regret.
"Oh, what a pity," she shook her head as if she remembered something, "Come to think of it, I asked Professor Jiang last time, and he said he had no plans in this regard for the time being..."
Bai Jing stopped smiling.
I don’t have any…plans.
Zhou Lie had other things to do, so he naturally wouldn't stay here for too long. Now that the matter had been resolved, he was ready to leave.
Before he left, he thanked them again, saying that Shu Xiaoruan had been taken care of by them on a daily basis, and asked them to take care of her in the future.
As he spoke, he glanced in Bai Jing's direction.
...Although she doesn't want to admit it, Bai Jing has the best relationship with Xiaoruan and she does take the best care of her.
Then she noticed that the latter was distracted, and she didn't know what he was thinking about. She didn't notice that he was looking at her at all.
His glance was quite covert, and no one present noticed it. He then withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened and turned away.
My roommate also didn't want to stay any longer and went back to the dormitory immediately.
Shu Xiaoruan slowed down her heartbeat and the heat on her face subsided. She walked to Bai Jing and called out softly, "Jingjing."
Bai Jing finally came back to her senses, smiled calmly, thanked the dormitory manager first, and then went back with Shu Xiaoruan.
The next day was another full day of classes.
Jiang Ziqian’s class is the last one in the afternoon.
Although Bai Jing knew that she should concentrate, she couldn't help but get distracted when looking at that expressionless and cold face.
It wasn't until the bell rang that I realized the class was over, but I hadn't heard much at all.
…Alas, man.
Bai Jing sighed inwardly, thinking that she could only spend more time after class. While sighing, she was tidying up the things on the table when she was suddenly pulled twice by Shu Xiaoruan next to her.
Bai Jing thought something was wrong, so she didn't even raise her head, but said lazily, "Hmm?"
Shu Xiaoruan didn't respond, but just silently pulled her sleeve again.
Bai Jing raised her eyelids and looked at her, and saw that she raised her chin towards the podium, as if signaling her to look over there.
So Bai Jing looked over there and found Jiang Ziqian looking at her.
The eyes are deep.
After a moment of distraction, he suddenly remembered what they had agreed on yesterday and stood up from his seat.
Shu Xiaoruan was startled by her reaction and asked if anything was wrong.
Bai Jing said it was okay, and seeing Jiang Ziqian was already walking out, she said she was going to the bathroom.
As soon as she came out of the door, she saw Jiang Ziqian waiting for her in the corner of the corridor. She quickly quickened her pace and walked forward, "Teacher Jiang."
Jiang Ziqian lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on her face, and spoke softly.
"I called home last night and told them that they are free on the weekends and you can come over anytime."
After a pause, he continued.
"...I'm going back this weekend too. If you go then, you can take my car and go back with me."
He was looking at Bai Jing when he said this, so he naturally did not miss any changes in her facial expression.
He was a little surprised at first, but soon his eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his lips, and he responded very readily, "Thank you, Teacher Jiang."
Jiang Ziqian looked at the smile on her face and pursed his lips lightly.
Trying to use a tone that didn't sound too harsh, he added, "You were distracted during class just now. Did something happen to you?"
Bai Jing was stunned. She didn't expect that even this would be discovered.
He was caught absent from class by the teacher, especially because of his fault. He was nervous and flustered at the moment, and felt extremely embarrassed. He lowered his eyes, coughed lightly, and said sorry.
As he spoke, he thought of what happened in the library yesterday, so he raised his head and looked at the other person with a serious look and a sincere tone.
"… And I'm also sorry for trying to snatch your notebook from you at that time."
