Jiang Ziqian didn't want Bai Jing to leave alone, and said that he had something else to do and there was no need to see her off.
Of course, Lu Liang was a sensible man. He made up an excuse and said that he had somewhere else to go, which meant that there was no need to send him back.
Of course, he was not planning to follow Jiang Ziqian and Bai Jing all the way. Wouldn't that make him a light bulb in the eyes of others?
Just say that you are a little full, so as to avoid competing with others for the bathroom when you return to school, and just squat in a toilet before leaving.
Bai Jing:......
There is no need to be so specific and detailed.
Of course, she could see her friend's good intentions, so she didn't insist on going back together and left first with Jiang Ziqian.
It felt like a long time had passed since the last time the two of them were alone.
Bai Jing pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Ziqian's face.
Just as she was thinking about what topic to talk about, the man looked at her and their eyes met.
...
...
There was darkness in Jiang Ziqian's eyes, as if there was a suction force that made her unable to look away.
Her figure was reflected in his eyes, her features were clear.
Bai Jing seemed to want to see more clearly and unconsciously took half a step forward.
The distance between the two of them suddenly became very close. They could feel each other's breathing and even their heartbeats seemed to be heard clearly.
Jiang Ziqian did not look away and continued to look at her. Although he tried to keep his voice calm, it was not as indifferent as usual and his speaking speed also changed a little.
"……What's wrong?"
Bai Jing seemed to have discovered a new world.
Although he hadn't drunk any alcohol, he felt as if there was a hint of alcohol in the other person's breath. His heartbeat quickened and even his behavior became bolder.
She took another half step closer and saw that the man's eyes were filled with her, as if she was the only one he could see in the whole world.
The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
"Teacher Jiang, are you..." She looked straight into his eyes, her tone hinting at something that made people think deeply.
When Bai Jing said this, she paused deliberately, arousing people's curiosity.
Jiang Ziqian also looked at her, and saw that the corners of her eyes were slightly curved. The smile in her eyes was as bright as the sunshine, and there was also a hint of smile in her voice.
"...Actually, I can't really drink. Why do I seem to smell a little bit of alcohol?"
Jiang Ziqian doesn't drink much alcohol on a regular basis.
After all, he has always had high demands on himself, and naturally he would avoid alcohol, which is not conducive to maintaining rationality and clear thinking.
It’s just the occasional gathering at home, or some unavoidable situations, I will probably accompany them for a drink or two.
I didn't drink much, but I never got drunk.
Not to mention that the juice only contains a little bit of alcohol. If you try to measure the alcohol content, it may not even be detectable because the content is too low.
But Jiang Ziqian now felt that he seemed to have really brought some wine. He watched Bai Jing come close to him, close enough that their breaths could touch each other.
It seemed that if I just lowered my head slightly, I would be able to touch her lips.
For a moment, it was hard to tell whether it was reality or illusion.
He looked at her, his eyes darkening.
My mind couldn't help but recall the dreams I had in the past, which seemed to overlap with the scene in front of me, and the next step was probably...
His breathing paused slightly, and his tone sounded vaguely unstable.
"Is there?"
"Yes," Bai Jing curled her eyes, her tone a little unclear whether she was serious or just joking, "If I had drunk it just now, I might have collapsed on the spot. In this case, Teacher Jiang has 'saved' my life. Maybe I should... express my gratitude?"
Jiang Ziqian didn't say anything, just looked at her.
Bai Jing blinked at him, "Maybe Teacher Jiang has something to say to me? If I can do it, I will probably agree to it."
Jiang Ziqian paused for breath again.
Because they were close enough, Bai Jing could see clearly that the emotions in those dark eyes were about to be hidden and were gently surging.
This seemed like a particularly good opportunity.
It was also the bait thrown by Bai Jing to lead him to admit to her first that he had a special concern for her.
According to the promise she made, she would agree as long as he asked.
The corners of Jiang Ziqian's lips tightened slightly, and the emotions in his eyes became deeper.
The thin lips with beautiful lines moved slightly, and the pleasant and cold voice fell deeply.
"I have a research project next school year and I need an assistant. If I can complete it successfully, it will be of great help to my future research in that area..."
Bai Jing:?
No, you, wait.
This, this, this is what you said at such a good opportunity?!
Do you want to think about it carefully?
He even secretly drew her portrait, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was not innocent at all. Why didn't he take advantage of this good opportunity to make their relationship legitimate and take it to the next level?
Instead, they talk about what kind of research and what topic they are doing!
Bai Jing didn't know what expression to make for a moment. She opened her mouth and closed it again, feeling very complicated.
But that's actually the case.
After all, Jiang Ziqian is the kind of person who won't take advantage of others in times of trouble.
Although Bai Jing did say that she would agree as long as he asked, it was impossible to say that he had never had any idea at all.
It's just that he didn't want their relationship to start this way.
Looking at Bai Jing's stunned expression at this moment, Jiang Ziqian pursed his lips slightly, and his tone sounded very serious.
"...Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine."
It was only at this moment that Bai Jing came to her senses.
She glanced at Jiang Ziqian. Although she had known that getting him to speak first would be a hellish challenge, she had never expected it to be this hellish.
At this moment, he closed his eyes, sighed in his heart, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to normal.
There was also a slight smile at the corner of his lips.
"This is Teacher Jiang who is taking me on. This is a rare opportunity. Others may not get this chance even if they try their best. If I refuse, it would be a bit immature."
Putting aside other things, the research topic worked by Jiang Ziqian, isn’t it absolutely of high quality?
If it can be successfully concluded in the end, it will definitely be a brilliant achievement on her resume. This is not asking for anything in return from her, it is simply giving her benefits!
Thinking of this, Bai Jing's eyes lit up again.
Jiang Ziqian originally thought she was unwilling based on her initial reaction, but now looking at her expression, there was a smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and there was obvious expectation in her eyes, so she must be quite happy.
His eyes couldn't help but become a little softer, and even his voice had a hint of happy smile.
"That's good."
