Bai Jing first went back to the dormitory, put down the things in her hands, took a shower, changed into clean and refreshing clothes, then picked up the books she wanted to return and walked towards the library.
She first went to the front desk to register for the book return, and then headed straight to the literature area with a clear goal. Not surprisingly, she saw Jiang Ziqian there.
Bai Jing's eyes bent unconsciously and a smile appeared on her lips.
He walked briskly up to the man and called out "Teacher Jiang" with a smile.
Perhaps it was because lunch break had not yet passed and it was also the holiday, so there were no other students in the library. Bai Jing's voice fell, leaving a faint lingering echo in the air.
Jiang Ziqian paused as he was turning the pages of the book. His eyes slightly raised and fell on Bai Jing's face who was standing not far away.
There was a bright smile in her light brown eyes, and her gaze was as clear and clean as her voice.
Perhaps because he hadn't seen her for a few days, Jiang Ziqian forgot to look away for a moment and kept his gaze fixed on her.
Seeing such an almost passionate gaze in this man's eyes, Bai Jing's smile deepened. She took a step closer, her steps a little light, as if she was stepping on marshmallows with a hint of sweetness.
"Luckily, Teacher Jiang reminded me," Bai Jing curved her eyes, like a crescent moon hanging in the sky, "otherwise I might have missed the time. Thank you!"
...
...
Jiang Ziqian's eyes flickered, and there seemed to be a slight surge of emotion in his eyes. After a few seconds, he withdrew his gaze and returned to the page in front of him, speaking in a light tone.
"You're welcome."
Bai Jing wanted to see the emotions in his eyes more clearly, as if this would allow her to see a different side of this man than usual, so she couldn't help but move closer, "Come to think of it, Teacher Jiang, why did you think of reminding me? Are you in a hurry to borrow that book, as the dorm auntie said?"
"No, I've already finished reading those books."
Jiang Ziqian pursed his lips and turned the page of the book in front of him calmly. He realized that because of Bai Jing's appearance, he had not finished reading the previous page, so he turned it back expressionlessly, "It's just that I haven't seen you these few days, so..."
Halfway through his speech he realized he had said too much and paused.
Seeing him like this, Bai Jing couldn't help but want to do something naughty, so she moved forward again, tilted her head slightly, and asked with a smile.
"So, what?"
Jiang Ziqian didn't respond, or maybe he was thinking about how to answer.
"It's these few days..."
He was about to say something when he looked up and met Bai Jing's eyes.
Because Bai Jing was very close to him before, and now that Jiang Ziqian raised his head, the distance between them was even closer, as if they were about to kiss.
They could even clearly see each other's reflections in their eyes.
Bai Jing was also stunned, probably because she didn't expect him to look up suddenly, especially when she could feel his breath falling on her lips, gently sweeping over them, like a gentle kiss falling from the air.
My heartbeat quickened a beat.
My face is also hot.
Bai Jing blinked and realized that she was a little too close. She coughed lightly and moved back a little embarrassedly, unconsciously saying what she was thinking.
"Did you miss me after not seeing me for so many days?"
But as soon as these words came out, the two were stunned again.
Bai Jing's heart beat faster, thinking that she was getting too complacent. Just as she was thinking about how to fool her, she heard the man opposite her speak again.
"So what have you been busy with these days?"
Bai Jing was slightly stunned.
Then he raised his head suddenly again.
No...deny?
Could she then understand that he really missed her because he hadn't seen her for a few days?
Well! Never mind, since he didn't deny it, she would just take it as it is!
Bai Jing pursed her lips lightly. Although her face returned to her usual calm look, she was secretly happy in her heart, and even the tail tone of her voice was slightly rising.
After that, she said a few simple words, saying that Shu Xiaoruan invited her to participate in activities and competitions together, and that she had been busy practicing these days. She usually got up early and went out, and returned to the dormitory after dinner.
Because I only read for a while in the dormitory before going to bed, and never went to the library.
"…Because tomorrow is the event, we need to build the stage and arrange the venue, so we came back early today," she said, and then she remembered something and invited enthusiastically, "Teacher Jiang, are you free tomorrow night? If you don't have any plans, would you like to come and watch the competition?"
Jiang Ziqian thought about it and since he had no plans for tomorrow, he nodded and said okay.
Although this competition is internal, the event is open to the public. Anyone is welcome to watch, and the audience can also vote.
The official competition is tomorrow, so of course we need to conserve our energy.
After Bai Jing returned to the dormitory, although she read and studied, she did not stay up too late and went to bed quite early.
The next day I got up early, put on my dress for going on stage, and went to the preparation room.
There were two young girls in charge of the makeup work. One of them encountered an accident on the road and was late. The subsequent time estimation was a bit wrong, and there were many people who needed to go on stage.
The event was about to start soon, and there were still a lot of people waiting in line who hadn't put on full makeup yet. Time was running out, and there was no time to spare.
Bai Jing looked at the two of them who were busy and exhausted. If they continued like this, it would probably be too late for them to take over. After thinking about it, she decided to take care of themselves and have enough food and clothing.
Shu Xiaoruan was in the same group as Bai Jing, and neither of them had time to put on makeup. Seeing Bai Jing beckoning her to go over there, she sat down obediently even though she didn't know what was going on.
As soon as she sat down, she saw Bai Jing holding the powder puff in one hand and gently pinching her chin with the other hand. She looked at her face carefully for a few times, and then said in a light tone, "Close your eyes."
Shu Xiaoruan blinked blankly.
"Jingjing? Can you do this?"
"Not really," Bai Jing smiled lightly, her voice clear and crisp, "but if it's just a matter of dealing with this situation, it's more than enough."
If she were to go on stage, even with Shu Xiaoruan's looks, the lighting would eat away her makeup, so she would still have to keep it simple.
Bai Jing had learned a little bit about stage makeup in the past out of curiosity.
Although I can't compare with professional makeup artists, I am more skilled at applying makeup on my own face, but when it comes to doing makeup for others, I may not be able to do some of the delicate work.
Fortunately, Shu Xiaoruan has a good foundation. She is the kind of pretty face that can make one feel accomplished even with simple touch-ups.
He completed her makeup in just a few seconds, took a closer look, and smiled with satisfaction.
"alright."
