Chapter 253: Meeting an Old Classmate



Bai Jing's eyes suddenly widened and her brain felt a little hot.

Wait...wait, wait!

What just happened?

Did Jiang Ziqian kiss her on the forehead? !

And what did he say again?

All Bai Jing could think of was the time when she had knocked the corner of someone's lips, so now he was going to "knock" back, was it considered a reciprocity?

She thought about it and moved closer to him, with a bit of heat still on her face. "I don't think I was..."

I had just said half of my words when the phone at home rang.

Bai Jing paused, feeling that the atmosphere in the room was completely destroyed by the ruthless ringing. Now she had an expression as if she wanted to say something but stopped, and sighed softly.

"…You answer the phone first."

...

...

Jiang Ziqian hummed lightly, put down his breakfast and walked to the table to answer the phone.

No one knew what was said on the other end. Bai Jing saw that in just a few words, the man's face became a little more solemn.

After he hung up the phone, Bai Jing asked if anything happened.

Jiang Ziqian nodded slightly and finished the breakfast brought by Bai Jing as quickly as possible. At the same time, he took the time to briefly explain the general situation.

"So that's how it is..." Bai Jing knew that she couldn't help with the work, so she smiled lightly, "Anyway, I still have to go shopping with my friends, and it seems like it's almost time, so I'll leave first."

When Bai Jing wanted to be considerate, she was quite considerate. Seeing that he was busy, she didn't waste too much time on him.

When she returned to the cafeteria, her roommates had just finished breakfast.

"Bai Jing, where did you go? To the bathroom? Why did you take so long?"

Taking various factors into consideration, Bai Jing had no plans to make it public yet. She just tried to evade the question vaguely and said that she had kept them waiting for a long time.

"I didn't wait that long," the man raised his chin towards the next table, "You know she's the slowest. She just finished eating and was about to ask where you'd been, and then she saw you come back."

By now Bai Jing had returned, and the others had finished their breakfast, so they headed towards the department store together.

They made a list before going out, and now they bought the items according to the list. Soon everyone had a lot of things in their hands.

Finally, there were some cleaning supplies left, so they came to a special area. The salesperson next to them saw so many of them and thought they were big business, so he hurried over and asked if they needed any help.

Bai Jing and Shu Xiaoruan were walking behind. At first, the salesperson didn't see them, but they were the first to recognize the familiar voice.

They looked ahead and saw Shu Xiaoruan looking slightly surprised. "You are... Wu Yan?"

Wu Yan performed poorly in the college entrance examination. Lan Tingting was admitted to Huazhong University, but she could only barely get into other colleges. Also, because she was always with Lan Tingting, she relied on that young lady to settle any problems.

Now that Lan Tingting was no longer in the same school as her, she looked for someone in her class who also came from a well-off family.

But she didn't expect that once she got into trouble, the other party would push her out to be punished without a second thought, and finally made her expel from school and have to find a job outside.

Her family was very disappointed in her, saying that she had a rare opportunity to study but did not know how to cherish it at all. They also asked her to find a partner and get married as soon as possible.

She originally wanted to ask Lan Tingting for help, but when she arrived at the Lan family, she didn't see her. She wanted to find out some information, but the aunt at the Lan family looked at her like a spy, as if this was some particularly confidential information.

Since Wu Yan couldn't see Lan Tingting, she could only continue to work diligently, and according to her family's instructions, she found someone to go on a blind date and prepare to get married.

She went to work as usual that day, and seeing a group of young girls walking in, she thought to herself that she should be like them, studying in school during the week and going shopping in beautiful clothes on weekends, instead of getting up early every day to go to work and always smiling and greeting people no matter what happened.

She didn't expect that the person who came in behind her would suddenly call out her name.

"...Wu Yan?"

Wu Yan was not unfamiliar with this voice. She had been hearing it during her three years of high school, so she naturally recognized Shu Xiaoruan's voice at once.

She was stunned at first, then looked over here and found that not only Shu Xiaoruan was there, but Bai Jing was also there.

There had been some grudges between them before, and now her miserable appearance happened to be seen by the other party. Wu Yan felt complicated for a moment, and even wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Unfortunately, this situation only exists in imagination, and the reality has not changed at all. Wu Yan could only force a smile and responded in a stiff tone.

"Hello, long time no see..."

A roommate saw them talking and approached them curiously, "Do you know each other?"

Shu Xiaoruan nodded, hummed, and said, "We were high school classmates."

"oh?"

Her roommate's eyes fell on her, thinking that Bai Jing, Shu Xiaoruan, and Lu Liang were in the same class in high school, and their grades were among the best in their current class. It seemed that the overall level of their class was quite good.

Now I looked at her with some curiosity and asked her if she was working part-time. Since we were old classmates, could I give them a lower price?

Wu Yan certainly couldn't say that she was expelled from school, or rather, she would never admit it even if she died. At this moment, she hummed vaguely and said that it was not her turn to decide the price.

Bai Jing could see that her expression was not very natural, but she didn't expose her. She just watched quietly from the side.

However, her gaze has always been particularly noticeable, as if it had real weight pressing down on me.

Especially in Wu Yan's eyes, after all, there was a precedent before. Now she felt that Bai Jing was using mind reading again and must have seen through her thoughts.

The expression on his face became even more unnatural.

Fortunately, Bai Jing had no intention of exposing her until they left. Before they left, Wu Yan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Seeing that the dormitory's purchase was successfully completed, several people worked together to carry all the things back to the dormitory.

Soon they packed up all their things. Those who wanted to read went to the study room, those who wanted to exercise went to the stadium, and those who had classes went to the teaching building.

Bai Jing thought about it, went to the dormitory management office to borrow a phone, and dialed the number.

However, the other party seemed to have not returned yet. There was only a busy tone in the receiver, and the call was not connected.

Bai Jing tilted her head slightly, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

...Could it be that he has encountered some difficult problem and has not been able to deal with it yet?
