This pen originally came with a gift box, and the salesperson wiped it clean carefully and put it back into the box meticulously.
Afterwards, she tied a ribbon on the box, found a particularly beautiful bag to put it in, put the two bottles of ink that had been agreed upon before in it, put a gift label on it, and handed it to Jiang Ziqian with a smile, saying that they could just go to the checkout counter to pay together.
Jiang Ziqian hummed lightly, took over the action naturally, and then looked at Bai Jing.
"Going back to school now?"
The man moved so quickly that Bai Jing was a little stunned.
Jiang Ziqian glanced at Lin Yan beside him, then looked back at Bai Jing, his tone of voice unchanged, "Want to see something else?"
Bai Jing came back to her senses and quickly said no.
Jiang Ziqian hummed lightly and said calmly, "Let's go." He nodded slightly towards Lin Yan, picked up his things and walked towards the checkout counter.
Bai Jing hurriedly followed, and of course did not forget to say goodbye to Lin Yan before leaving.
"It's getting late. I'll leave first. Bye."
...
...
Lin Yan looked at their backs as they left.
He also heard a lot of rumors about Professor Jiang, all of which talked about how he became a professor at Huadu University at the age of 23 with incredible achievements.
Although we had eaten together before, we never exchanged many words. My impression of him was that he was a serious person who always had a cold and indifferent look.
I didn't expect to see his decisive and strong side today.
and……
Lin Yan's eyes moved between the two of them.
...Although I can't tell the specific reason, I always feel that their relationship is not like an ordinary teacher-student relationship?
Bai Jing obediently followed Jiang Ziqian to the checkout counter and watched the man pay the money without any hesitation. She suddenly recalled the novels she had read before, in which the male protagonists always bought things with a wave of their hands.
Now I can even taste a bit of that feeling.
But this feeling didn't last long.
Jiang Ziqian just paid the bill, picked up his things and left.
Bai Jing originally thought that it might have been bought as a gift for her, and was still thinking about what she would say later.
Then I realized that it was useless to think about it.
Yes, he really never said he wanted to give it to her. Maybe he just thought the pen was nice and wanted to keep it for himself!
But Bai Jing probably didn't know that Jiang Ziqian was indeed planning to give it to her.
He didn't hand it over directly because he knew that with Bai Jing's personality and the fact that they didn't have any special relationship, she probably wouldn't accept it easily.
Maybe he would say that she should just borrow his money first and then pay it back to her little by little.
So along the way, I was thinking about what excuse I should use to make her accept it directly.
Return the favor? I've already returned it before.
Birthday present? But her birthday isn't in the near future.
A reward for getting first place in an exam? But the exams for this semester haven't started yet.
Jiang Ziqian still couldn't think of a suitable reason all the way back to school. He also felt that he was the one who gave the gift, but he had to go to great lengths to find a reason, which seemed even more deliberate.
So he simply stopped thinking about it, and when Bai Jing got out of the car, he handed the bag to her as if nothing had happened, turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
Bai Jing was slightly startled, watching his car drive out of sight, then looked down at the pen and ink in her eye bag, not knowing what expression to make for a moment.
Are you happy? Of course I am very happy.
The main reason was that it was given too suddenly. Bai Jing had originally thought that if the other party really gave it to her as a gift, she could say that it was a bit too expensive to accept directly.
After that, we could meet every week under the pretext of paying back the money.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ziqian didn't give her this chance. He just stuffed the thing into her hand and left.
Bai Jing lowered her eyes slightly, but couldn't help but smile.
There is no way.
Maybe it was Teacher Jiang’s encouragement for her to study hard!
Let her become an emotionless test paper killer!
There is an exam the next day.
Bai Jing usually solves problems quickly. Now that she is using the pen Jiang Ziqian gave her, she feels as if she has been blessed by the god of study. She answers the questions more fluently and neatly.
The students in the same examination room had just written halfway on the first side of the paper when they heard someone flipping the paper over with a loud bang.
The students were all stunned and couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from.
The invigilator quickly reminded everyone to just do their own thing and not to look around, lest they be punished for cheating.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes away.
Bai Jing has always had amazing concentration. At this moment, she was completely focused on the test paper, thinking rapidly in her mind. The rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper reached her ears, like a beautiful and moving concerto, and also made the corners of her lips bring out a confident smile.
By the time they finished writing the first page, Bai Jing had already finished the second page.
However, this time the sound of flipping pages mixed with everyone else's sound, and the other students were all focused on their own test papers, so not many people noticed her progress.
Only the invigilator, who had been keeping an eye on the situation in the examination room, noticed that Bai Jing seemed to have finished writing another side, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
During this midterm exam week, there were a total of four courses.
After Lu Liang finished the last exam and collected the papers, he felt as if all his energy had been drained out. He slumped down on the table with a thud and let out a long sigh.
“…It’s finally over.”
He glanced at the table diagonally opposite and noticed that Bai Jing was carefully wiping the pen and putting the cap on it cautiously. It was obvious that she was cherishing it very much.
Lu Liang stopped lying down, straightened up from the chair, walked to Bai Jing, and was about to say something when he noticed that the pen seemed different from the one he usually used.
He had also heard of this brand. The quality was good, but the price was really expensive and most people would not be willing to buy it.
In addition, in his eyes, Bai Jing was both generous and stingy.
When it comes to buying study materials, question books and test papers, he does it without blinking an eye. He is also not stingy when it comes to paying for favors or the food he eats.
But she has no interest in those gadgets that are touted as trendy and fashionable, which others like to buy to show that they are at the forefront of the times.
As for clothes, it's enough as long as they are enough to wear. Anyway, if you are beautiful, you can be willful. With that face and that temperament, even if you put a sack on your body, you will look like the cover girl of a fashion magazine.
And even if she was wearing old clothes, every time after Bai Jing matched them together, there was a neat and fresh feeling, without any rustic feeling.
