The girl looked obviously regretful.
But I didn't insist for long. I just said sorry and left.
Bai Jing returned to her original seat, glanced at Jiang Ziqian with a smile, and while reaching out to pick up the cup on the table, she spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"It was just a trip to the bathroom, how come my teacher Jiang was targeted again?"
Jiang Ziqian had gradually gotten used to Bai Jing's nature of teasing him whenever she had the chance, so he looked very calm at the moment. Just as he was about to say something, he looked down and reached out to press down the cup that Bai Jing was about to pick up.
“…This looks like wine.”
Bai Jing paused.
Jiang Ziqian calmly switched his cup over. Because the movement was small and fast, and it was very lively around, no one except Bai Jing paid much attention to what was happening here.
Bai Jing lowered her head and glanced at the cup. Her expression didn't change much, but her tone was a little strange. "I remember I ordered juice, right?"
Although generally speaking, it is better not to have food and drinks out of sight when outside for safety reasons, but Jiang Ziqian has been here to help her watch over it, so there shouldn't be any problem.
...
...
How did it turn into wine?
Jiang Ziqian said that when the man just came, he accidentally knocked the cup over, so he asked the waiter to bring a new cup to express his apology.
Also, because they were not aware that the original cup contained a non-alcoholic drink, the new drink delivered was a drink containing alcohol made according to the original recipe.
Bai Jing understood the whole story, nodded and said, "So that's it."
Then he saw Jiang Ziqian return the juice to her. He asked for a drink with alcohol in it himself, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice.
"Teacher Jiang, can you drink?"
"If it's just a little bit," Jiang Ziqian said calmly, "it's okay."
Hearing him say this, Bai Jing felt reassured about the professor's self-awareness and self-discipline. She picked up the glass of juice that Jiang Ziqian had given her and gently touched the rim of the glass, making a crisp sound of collision.
"Please continue to take care of me in the new year."
Jiang Ziqian doesn't drink much.
After drinking half a cup, although he was still mentally awake and rational, his handsome face was no longer cold, and even the lines of his eyebrows and eyes seemed to become soft.
Even the dark and deep bottom of the eyes was reflected with a hint of light, making them seem less quiet and dark, and even a little bit indescribably charming.
Fortunately, the lights around were not very bright, so no one noticed this except Bai Jing who was closest to them.
...It seems that it is not completely unrelated?
Perhaps she wanted to keep this a secret that belonged only to her, or perhaps she was worried that her image as a great professor would be ruined in front of her students if she was not careful. So she said something to the class monitor and left with her classmates.
Everyone in the class watched the two of them leave, and only after they walked out the door did they gather together with gossipy looks on their faces.
"…Why did Professor Jiang and Sister Jing leave first?"
"Yeah! The countdown hasn't even started yet!"
"Is there something that requires you to leave first? For example, is there a problem with the project?"
"Pah, pah, pah, it's New Year's Day, can you please say something nice?"
"Then... I have a new idea for the topic!
Since they were not involved in the incident, they naturally couldn't discuss it clearly. And as the music changed around them, no one thought about it any more and continued to play their own games.
Bai Jing took Jiang Ziqian out of the door. There were many people on the road at that moment. The two of them walked on the road holding hands quietly in the crowd, just like an ordinary pair of lovers.
When we were halfway there, perhaps just after midnight, there was a bang of grand fireworks in the sky, and at the same time, the sound of firecrackers came from far away, one after another.
The two found a place where there were not many people around and watched the fireworks show to the end. The sound of firecrackers also stopped.
Bai Jing turned around and looked in the direction of Jiang Ziqian, and found that he was also looking at her. Both of them looked at each other without avoiding each other, as if they wanted to engrave the other deeply in their eyes.
Bai Jing curved her eyes, raised her hand to the side of the man's face, and with a bright smile on her lips, she kissed him on the lips.
It was clearly a very light touch, but the breath seemed to be slightly drunk.
"Happy New Year, Teacher Jiang."
Because both of them introduced each other to their families, Bai Jing had a very fulfilling Spring Festival. Not only did she run back and forth between her uncle's house and the Jiang family, but she also had to save some time to prepare for next semester's courses in advance and try her best to work hard for the scholarship.
After school started, Bai Jing's life became more fulfilling. She was scheduled to attend classes, class activities, projects and part-time jobs, and occasionally, she would date her partner.
That day, a teacher from the school found her and said that there was something very important he wanted to discuss with her.
Bai Jing looked at the other person's serious expression and wondered if he was here because of the matter between her and Jiang Ziqian. She didn't show it on her face, but just nodded slightly and said calmly, "Please speak."
"It's actually like this," the teacher looked at Bai Jing with a look of obvious relief in her eyes, "Next week we plan to go to Beicheng High School to do some recruitment promotion. Bai Jing was also a student at Beicheng High School before, and now you are the top student in the grade. I think the position of student representative must belong to you."
When Bai Jing heard the other party's words, her expression was slightly stunned.
The memories in her mind suddenly flooded back, and almost instantly she remembered that when she was still in her third year of high school, the person who came to give the recruitment presentation was Jiang Ziqian.
She also thought of the man with a cold and handsome face, looking straight at her, and saying that he hoped her classmates would focus on their studies.
At that time, Bai Jing would never have thought that she would develop the relationship with this person into what it is now.
Thinking of this, Bai Jing closed her eyes and said "OK" with a smile.
The teacher was worried that Bai Jing would refuse, but when he heard that she agreed, he was slightly relieved.
Then he briefly talked about the specific time, the work to be done, and things that needed attention.
Bai Jing nodded and wrote them down one by one.
Finally, I couldn't help but ask which teacher would go with me.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's either Teacher Ye or Teacher Qin. It's possible that they both went together."
The other party smiled and said, "Hey, most of the admissions matters are handled by them and another teacher."
Bai Jing was a little surprised and couldn't help but say.
"But I remember that the person who came to recruit students for our class was Professor Jiang Ziqian?"
