Jiang Ziqian confirmed with the front desk that Bai Jing did not return to the hotel yesterday.
After all, it has been half a year, and it is rare to go home and spend a night at home to reunite with my family.
I was awakened by heavy rain before dawn. I watched the heavy rain falling for several hours, and it only stopped at noon.
"Professor Jiang is from the North City, right? You shouldn't see this kind of heavy rain often."
It was break time, and Old Li saw Jiang Ziqian looking out the window with a cold look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a faraway place, so he couldn't help but walk over and talk to him.
Jiang Ziqian retracted his gaze and nodded gently, "Indeed."
"We are near the sea, so it rains a lot, and sometimes it rains heavily," Old Li also looked out the window and recalled, "but it has rained so hard and for so long as today. Even I haven't seen it for many years. The villages in the mountains may be in trouble again..."
Before he finished speaking, Lao Li felt the aura of the people around him change.
He was slightly stunned, and facing the other party's dark and deep eyes, he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes...what's the matter?"
...
...
The young professor quickly calmed down and returned to his original cool and calm demeanor, saying that it was okay.
After the meeting, I was asking about the cars that could enter the village.
"No, no, there's a section of the road that's buried. It might collapse. We can't drive in!"
Jiang Ziqian frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about, and then he spoke again.
"Just drive to that location, and I'll pay double the fare."
The other party waved his hand and left. Before leaving, he looked at him, and his eyes seemed to say that the young man looked gentle and polite, but what a crazy thing he did.
Lao Li hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and said, "How about I take you there?"
Old Li was very curious along the way. After all, after dealing with Jiang Ziqian, he felt that although he was young, he was calm and steady in his dealings.
Choosing to go into the mountains at this time is not a decision that a rational person would make.
It started raining halfway through the journey. Lao Li looked at the road conditions and said the car could not move forward.
Jiang Ziqian got out of the car. The rain quickly soaked his clothes and even his glasses were covered with tiny drops of rain.
He was just about to thank Lao Li, but he seemed to see something suddenly. His face changed slightly and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Old Li was stunned for a moment, and looked in that direction. He seemed to vaguely see a slender figure.
...Is there actually a second person who is not afraid of death?
Seeing that the girl was about to fall, Lao Li's heart suddenly jumped.
The next second, Jiang Ziqian came to the girl and grabbed her in time.
When Jiang Ziqian came back with his people, they saw that the girl had black eyes, black hair, red lips and white teeth. Her eyes were like washed gems, clear and bright, and her slightly wet hair was stuck to the side of her face. She looked well-behaved and soft, so adorable.
Old Li’s doubts were also answered.
It turns out that he was thinking about his delicate young wife.
Well, I thought he was handsome, young and promising, and wanted to introduce my daughter to him, but it seems there is no chance anymore...
Bai Jing followed Jiang Ziqian into the car, and her previously tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
After my heartbeat calmed down, I gradually began to feel cold.
Although it is already spring, the temperature at night is still low. The rain has lowered the temperature, and my clothes are wet, so my fingers are icy cold.
There happened to be a natural heat source nearby, so Bai Jing unconsciously moved closer and glanced at the man furtively. Seeing that the man did not show any dissatisfaction, she secretly moved closer to him.
Jiang Ziqian lowered his eyes indifferently, as if he noticed nothing, and silently moved his gaze to the window, gently tightening his fingertips at his side.
The two returned to the hotel, and Bai Jing went to the front desk to borrow a phone. She wanted to call the village chief's house and ask him to help report her safety to his family.
But I learned that the line was broken and there was no way to get in touch with him.
"Hey, we can't play at noon." The receptionist looked towards the main door and saw Jiang Ziqian walking in. He nodded at Bai Jing and said, "That comrade was here before. He left when he found out he couldn't play. I saw you two came back together and thought you knew that, too."
Bai Jing was stunned for a moment, then thanked the other party.
Afterwards, she came to Jiang Ziqian with a well-behaved and serious expression.
"Teacher Jiang, thank you for picking me up."
Jiang Ziqian's eyes fell on the top of her head, the corners of his lips tightened slightly, and he hummed coldly.
Bai Jing wanted to ask something, but couldn't help sneezing, and the corners of her eyes turned red.
Jiang Ziqian withdrew his gaze and said calmly.
"Rest."
Of course Bai Jing didn't want to catch a cold, so she changed her clothes after returning to her room and took a hot bath, which warmed her body.
She lay in bed, with many thoughts in her mind.
Sometimes it is the cold rain mixed with the smell of earth, and sometimes it is the thick embrace with warmth.
Occasionally, that emotionless and cold handsome face would appear.
It was as if I could catch a glimpse of the panic and worry in his eyes in a flash.
Why did he come to see her?
Is it because you promised her uncle that you must take her back?
In a hazy state of consciousness, Bai Jing seemed to hear the crackling sound of heavy rain again.
It was raining as hard as it did this morning.
The sky was dark and the wind was strong, whistling across the eaves like some kind of sharp laughter.
There seemed to be a monster outside the door, baring its fangs and claws and clamoring to eat people, but she was sleeping soundly in the warm embrace, and from time to time a pair of hands gently patted her back, quiet and peaceful.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and the man stumbled in, crying. The voice was vague, but vaguely familiar.
"…Don't worry, I'll go check it out for you."
The gentle and warm embrace left.
Never came back.
Bai Jing suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling above her head with an unfocused gaze. Her body felt a little cold, her fingers were slightly numb, and her breathing was difficult.
She tilted her head slightly and saw that the sky was getting brighter and it was not raining outside.
Bai Jing raised her hand and pressed the corner of her eyes. She always felt that the dream just now was too real, as if it had really happened.
...Could it be the memory of the original body?
She was still thinking about the dream when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. A cold voice came from outside.
"It's time to leave for the train station."
Bai Jing suddenly came back to her senses and quickly packed up her things while responding.
“Here it comes!”
Three days later, North City High School.
Lan Tingting stood outside the classroom which was set up as an examination room, looked around, and had a gloating smile on her face.
"Where's Bai Jing? I haven't seen her again? Are you planning to skip the exam again?"
"That's what I mean," Wu Yan, the attendant, also stepped forward. "You skip every important exam? You're just trying to avoid exams, right? Your leave this semester is almost longer than your class time. If you really don't want to study, you might as well drop out!"
