"Both of them? Probably not?"
The student next to him thought for a while and made a well-reasoned analysis, "Although Ye Liuli is quite proactive, Master Tao obviously doesn't have that kind of interest in her. Last time..."
"Shh!" The man who was speaking was pulled by his friend, and he pointed his mouth in a certain direction and said in a low voice, "Stop talking."
The students who were discussing together looked back and saw Ye Liuli standing there with a gloomy expression.
Several people immediately stopped talking and returned to their respective seats as if nothing had happened.
Ye Liuli gritted her teeth secretly and clenched her hands hanging at her sides into fists.
Just at this moment Chen Shaotao came back, with a smug look on his face. Seeing Ye Liuli standing at the door, he raised his eyebrows.
"The class is about to start. Why are you standing here? It's Professor Jiang's class next."
Ye Liuli looked back at him, her eyes seemed to be filled with some anger, and she found a corner and sat down without saying a word.
Chen Shaotao didn't know what was going on with her. When he saw Jiang Ziqian enter the classroom, he quickened his pace and returned to his seat.
...
...
The friend next to him came forward with a smile.
"You're smiling so happily? Are you making good progress with schoolmate Bai Jing?"
When mentioning Bai Jing, Chen Shaotao couldn't help laughing again.
"It's not much progress, we just agreed to go to the teahouse together on the weekend."
"You're great, kid." His friend bumped his shoulder and winked at him, "Isn't this just that...right, a date!"
Chen Shaotao wanted to say something, but he saw Professor Jiang suddenly look up and his eyes fell directly on them.
My friend thought that the professor had caught him gossiping, and he immediately put away the frivolous smile on his face, acting like a good student who was listening to the class carefully.
Fortunately, the professor didn't seem to want to pursue the matter. He just glanced at them indifferently and then looked away.
"You scared me," the friend exhaled quietly, still looking a little shocked, and lowered his voice unconsciously, "I almost thought you were going to call my name, but it turns out you just happened to look over here."
Chen Shaotao looked in the direction of Professor Jiang, and thought that he and Bai Jing should know each other, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
Really just... just happened to look over here?
Bai Jing only has one class this afternoon.
After class, she went to Jiang Han's house.
Although she doesn't live here now, she still comes here once a week to continue tutoring Xiaotang and having meals together.
Bai Jing had just finished tutoring Xiaotang, so she went to the kitchen to see if there was anything she could do to help.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Jiang Han squatting next to the cabinet, rummaging around and muttering to himself.
"...Strange, it should be placed here. Did I forget to buy it after I used it last time?"
Bai Jing leaned over here and asked, "Do you want to buy something?"
When Jiang Han saw that it was her coming, a smile appeared on his face.
"Have you finished your classes?"
As she spoke, she stood up and raised her chin towards the pot, "I'm going to make braised pork, but I can't find any sugar. I think it ran out last time."
Bai Jing thought for a moment and said, "Should we go to Xiao Qian's shop to buy it? I'll go there."
She has lived here for nearly a year and is quite familiar with the neighborhood.
Jiang Han was still cooking other dishes in the pot and couldn't spare the time. When he heard Bai Jing offering to help, he couldn't help but smile, "Then I'll trouble you to make the trip. By the way, can you also bring me some bay leaves and cinnamon bark?"
Bai Jing nodded and said yes.
Xiaotang vaguely heard them talking about what they were going to buy, and she skipped into the kitchen and excitedly grabbed Bai Jing's hand, "Where are you going? I want to go with you too!"
Jiang Han glanced at his daughter with a helpless look on his face.
"I'm just going to buy some rock sugar and spices. I'll be back soon. What are you doing following me?"
Xiao Tang pretended not to hear anything. He looked up at Bai Jing and shook her hand. "Sister Jingjing, I want to go too. I will be a good boy and can even help you carry your things!"
Jiang Han wanted to say something, but heard Bai Jing chuckle again.
"Then let's go together."
"Great!" Xiaotang cheered when Bai Jing agreed, "Then I'll go change my shoes now!"
"Hey, you are such a ..."
Jiang Han looked more and more helpless. Unable to stop Tang Xiaotang, he turned to look at Bai Jing, "I clearly asked you to help buy things, but I also asked you to help look after her."
"It's okay," Bai Jing smiled faintly, "Xiaotang is very well behaved."
Taking the money given by Jiang Han, Bai Jing took Xiaotang's hand and quickly arrived at the grocery store.
"Bai Jing? I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Mrs. Qian wiped her hands on her apron and came forward cheerfully, "You came here specially today. What do you want to buy?"
Bai Jing greeted him with a smile, exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and told him what she wanted to buy.
Seeing that everything had been purchased, Bai Jing was about to pay.
I saw Tang Xiaotang lying on the counter again, staring at the candied haws next to him, his saliva almost dripping.
Mrs. Qian also saw it and suggested with a smile.
"How about another string of candied haws?"
Bai Jing also smiled, touched Xiaotang's head, and said softly, "Want to eat?"
Tang Xiaotang remembered that he had to be a good boy and not cause any trouble for Sister Jingjing.
However, he couldn't take his eyes off the candied haws at all, and swallowed his saliva, "No, no."
Bai Jing raised an eyebrow, "You really don't want to eat?"
Tang Xiaotang looked up at Bai Jing, and seeing that she was not angry and even smiled a little, she replied in a low voice.
"I want to eat a little bit."
"That's a coincidence. I want to eat some too," Bai Jing winked at her. "How about we buy a bunch and each of us split it in half?"
Tang Xiaotang's eyes lit up and he quickly agreed.
The ripe and fresh hawthorns are bright red and covered with a layer of crystal clear and slightly crispy sugar coating. They are appetizing just by looking at them, not to mention that they taste sour and sweet when you bite into them, which is particularly appetizing.
The grocery store was very close to home, and when the two returned downstairs, there were still two hawthorns left on the bamboo stick.
Bai Jing fed Xiaotang one, put a finger on her lips, winked at her, and said that this should be their little secret.
The child didn't want her mother to know that she had secretly eaten snacks, so she nodded quickly.
The next second, her eyes lit up and her cheeks puffed up, as if she wanted to say something to her.
Bai Jing was just curious when she heard a cold and steady male voice coming from behind.
"What secret?"
Bai Jing was startled out of nowhere and stood up straight, as if he was standing at attention.
"Hello, Teacher Jiang."
Tang Xiaotang also swallowed the food in his mouth at this time, and greeted happily, "Cousin Qian!"
Jiang Ziqian hummed and turned his eyes to the last candied haws left in Bai Jing's hand.
When Bai Jing saw him looking at her, she immediately reached out without thinking.
"Teacher Jiang, do you want to eat?"
