Bai Jing withdrew her hand with a snap.
He turned around and smiled faintly, "Teacher Jiang."
Meanwhile, Lu Liang quickly stood still, his back straight, his face firm and upright, and he reported in a loud voice, "Hello, Professor Jiang! It's Shu Xiaoruan's birthday, and we're looking to see if she's here!"
Jiang Ziqian nodded lightly, his eyes moved around and returned to Bai Jing.
Bai Jing was not scared at all, her facial expression did not change much, she still looked at him with smiling eyes.
Lu Liang next to him was very timid.
Especially being sandwiched between the two of them, I felt like I was unnecessary and shouldn't be here.
Just as he was thinking about how to liven up the atmosphere, Shu Xiaoruan also came to the door with a bright smile on her face.
"Jingjing! And Lu Liang, you come..."
He had just said half of his words when he saw Jiang Ziqian again. Perhaps he didn't expect the professor to come, so he was stunned for a moment, "...Hello, Professor Jiang."
...
...
As she spoke, she looked in Bai Jing's direction.
...Did Jingjing bring the professor here?
Could it be that he wanted to introduce her to someone and that she was going to date him?
But Bai Jing’s thoughts have always been hard to guess, especially when she smiles with her eyes curved like that, no one can tell what she wants to do.
Even Jiang Ziqian couldn't guess what she was thinking.
At this moment, she withdrew her gaze indifferently and pursed her thin lips, because she had just heard about the birthday from Lu Liang, and she also wished Shu Xiaoruan a happy birthday.
Although the professor had been their class teacher for half a month and had gone on a spring outing with them before, he was not as cold as he seemed.
But Shu Xiaoruan was still a little afraid of him. Seeing him wishing her happy birthday in a cold voice, she felt inexplicably flattered and nodded quickly to say thank you.
Then he invited the other party to the birthday party.
Jiang Ziqian had just finished his work and was passing by here. He happened to see the back of the person at the door who looked a bit like Bai Jing. He looked carefully and saw that it was indeed her. The person next to her could also be seen as Lu Liang. The two of them were very close to each other and it was unknown what they were talking about.
Just when he was thinking about whether to come forward, Bai Jing reached out her hand in the direction of Lu Liang and turned his face in a certain direction.
When I came to my senses, I had already come behind the two of them and asked them coldly what they were doing.
Shu Xiaoruan also invited him now. Normally, he might have used the excuse of being busy to decline, but now he did not hesitate and nodded slightly, saying yes.
The three of them followed Shu Xiaoruan into the gate. Bai Jing was not surprised to see Zhou Lie and Lin Yan inside. She seemed to remember something and glanced in the direction of Jiang Ziqian.
Suddenly I thought, isn’t this the scene in the original work? Aren’t the male lead, male second, and male third all here?
As for the second female lead who was supposed to be there, she was absent because she was sent to a mental center early.
It’s a relief to have her as a supporting role.
Or... is she replacing the second female lead?
Bai Jing showed no expression on her face, but her mind was already full of various ideas.
As for the super Shura scene in the original plot, because she is the "second female lead" who doesn't want to steal the male lead, and the "second male lead" who doesn't seem to be interested in the female lead, the scene is not as chaotic as imagined.
This...is also good.
He curved his eyes slightly, picked up the cup on the table, and wanted to take a sip of juice.
But as soon as she picked up the cup, the man sitting next to her reached out and pressed her hand back.
Bai Jing was startled and looked up at Jiang Ziqian next door.
The man still had that handsome and cold face, his thin lips with beautiful lines were slightly pursed, and his eyes were fixed on her face.
Bai Jing tilted her head slightly and used her eyes to ask what was wrong.
Jiang Ziqian pursed his lips and said in a very soft and concise voice, "...there is alcohol."
This is the specialty drink here. It has a very low alcohol content, which only brings out a little bit of flavor. Generally speaking, if you are not particularly sensitive to alcohol, even if you drink a whole jar of it, it probably won't be enough to make you drunk.
However, Bai Jing has a criminal record.
No matter how low the degree is, I dare not take the risk.
Bai Jing felt her fingertips holding the cup suddenly become hot.
At first she thought it was just ordinary juice and filled the cup. If she poured it out rashly now, it would be a waste.
While Bai Jing was thinking about what to do, Jiang Ziqian had already neatly and calmly swapped her cup with the one in front of him.
The colors of the liquid in the two cups looked similar, and the liquid levels were almost the same. If Bai Jing hadn't been watching, she would have almost missed it.
Bai Jing raised her eyes and looked towards Jiang Ziqian.
Jiang Ziqian withdrew his hand from her, picked up the cup from Bai Jing, took a sip with an expressionless face, frowned quietly, and said the word "tea" very softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Bai Jing picked up the cup and took a sip like him. It was indeed tea, and the temperature was just right for drinking, not too hot and not too cold. The warm temperature passed from the tip of the tongue to the throat, and even the heart seemed to be filled with that warmth.
She gently put the cup down, her eyes fell on Jiang Ziqian again, her body unconsciously leaned towards him, and she spoke softly.
"...Can you drink?"
As Bai Jing moved closer, the distance between them, which was already not far away, became even closer.
Jiang Ziqian could even feel a hint of warm, tea-scented wind brushing gently across his earlobe, and that patch of skin seemed to become a little numb.
He slightly tightened the corners of his lips, maintaining his previous expression, and there was no sound that was wrong with his voice.
"It doesn't matter."
Hearing him say this, Bai Jing felt relieved a little, and a relaxed and bright smile appeared between her brows.
Lu Liang was sitting on the other side. He didn't hear what the two people said, but he watched the whole process of changing the cups. He hadn't figured it out yet, and he saw them getting closer. A few seconds later, Bai Jing showed that smile.
I didn't want to turn that corner anymore, so I quickly looked away and sighed in my heart.
His eyes turned to another good friend, and he saw Shu Xiaoruan whispering to Zhou Lie, with a blush on her pretty face.
After just a glance, Zhou Lie on the other side had already noticed his gaze, and habitually glanced over with a stern look and a cold gaze.
This time, Lu Liang retracted his gaze even faster. He lowered his head to stare at the juice in front of him and sighed in his heart again.
...Hey, why is he the only one left? !
Because they still had classes tomorrow, the party wouldn't be held too late, and it would end at just after six o'clock. Zhou Lie offered to take them back to school.
The place was not far away, and Bai Jingxin wanted to give the two of them more time to spend together, so she said that she had eaten a little too much and would walk back to digest the food.
