"Is my hair a mess?"
“Not messy, not messy, very beautiful!”
"Is my skirt a little too much?"
“Not exaggerated, not exaggerated, very beautiful!”
"Is my lipstick too dark?"
"No, no, it's very obvious!"
On the way, Jiang Qing was constantly adjusting her hair, tugging at her skirt, and checking her makeup, looking incredibly nervous. This was the umpteenth time she'd asked Qu Qianqian a question, and she'd always answered with a good-natured attitude.
Qu Qianqian was quite calm. After all, she was just meeting her uncle, so there was no need to be nervous. She thought her uncle's friends should be easy to get along with.
When I arrived at the school gate, I saw Qu Yan’s big red convertible sports car at a glance.
"Baby Qianqian~" Qu Yan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, stopped the car and waved wildly towards this side.
"Uncle!" Qu Qianqian also waved at him and immediately noticed the man in a black suit sitting in the passenger seat. His aura was incompatible with the bright red sports car.
Hmm... looks familiar... seems like... I've seen it before?
Jiang Qing poked her and whispered, "Hey...is that the guy in the co-pilot seat the same person who was with the principal during our previous military training?"
After this reminder, Qu Qianqian immediately remembered: "It seems so!"
The two got into the car, and Qu Yan introduced enthusiastically: "Let me introduce you, this is my friend Ji Chengjin."
Qu Qianqian greeted politely, "Hello, Mr. Ji."
Ji Chengjin's usually icy face softened a bit, and his tone was gentler than Qu Yan had ever heard before: "Hello, Miss Qu, hello, Miss Jiang, nice to meet you." After a pause, he said to Qu Qianqian, "Miss Qu performed very well in the military training."
Being unexpectedly praised, Qu Qianqian felt a little embarrassed: "Ahahaha, really?"
Jiang Qing was left alone, disheveled in the wind. She glanced at Qu Qianqian, then at Ji Chengjin, her lips curled up, and without saying anything, she propped up her chin and admired Qu Yan's profile as he drove seriously.
Ah! This man is so handsome! He fits her aesthetic!
The following shopping trip was joyful on the surface, but undercurrents were surging behind the scenes.
At the beginning, Ji Chengjin, Qu Yan, Qu Qianqian and Jiang Qing stood together in this order. After shopping and eating, Qu Qianqian quietly pushed Jiang Qing towards Qu Yan, secretly trying to bring them together.
When I was shopping for milk tea, two girls who had just placed their orders were chatting nearby.
When Qu Yan went to get the milk tea, he planned to take both Jiang Qing and Qu Qianqian's. Suddenly, a hand reached out and took Qu Qianqian's milk tea.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing!" Qu Yan glared.
Ji Chengjin didn't even glance at him. He walked over to Qu Qianqian and handed her the cup of milk tea.
Qu Qianqian was obviously stunned. After she reacted, she took the milk tea and said thank you.
So, the next thing was that Qu Yan and Jiang Qing, and Qu Qianqian and Ji Chengjin walked together. Qu Yan was obviously dissatisfied, frequently looking aside and sending WeChat messages on his mobile phone.
It’s a pity that Ji Chengjin didn’t look away and couldn’t see Qu Yan’s eyes. He put his hands in his pockets and refused to look at his phone.
Qu Yan was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Qu Qianqian, on the other hand, was full of question marks on her face. Did her uncle have a facial cramp?
It wasn't until around 8 or 9 in the evening that the four of them parted at the school gate. As they were parting, Qu Yan pulled Jiang Qing aside and whispered, "Classmate Jiang, no one in school is approaching my baby Qianqian, right? Of the opposite sex, please!"
"Report to the commander, not yet!"
"That's good. I'll leave my Qianqian to you. Don't let those idiots get close to her!"
Jiang Qing pointed at the two people chatting happily over there and asked, "Is that person considered an idiot?"
Qu Yan took a look and saw two figures, one tall, one short, one black, one white, standing opposite each other. Ji Chengjin didn't know what to say, but it made Qu Qianqian laugh. Qu Yan roared, "Ji! Get in the car!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Chengjin stopped talking and said to Qu Qianqian with a smile, "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first." Then he glared at Qu Yan fiercely.
Of course, Qu Qianqian didn't see his expression. Her impression of him was still "a gentleman who looks serious but is actually very gentle." She said obediently, "Okay, Mr. Ji, be careful on the road."
After watching the two drive away, Qu Qianqian poked Jiang Qing: "What do you think of my uncle?"
Jiang Qing: "Yeah, very handsome. So what do you think of Mr. Ji?"
Qu Qianqian was puzzled: "Why do you ask that?"
"That Mr. Ji kept looking at you and talking to you! He even put a straw in the milk tea before giving it to you! He's so attentive and courteous, he must be interested in you!"
Qu Qianqian scratched her head: "No... I think Mr. Ji should be a more approachable person. He is my uncle's friend, and he should be concerned about me as an elder to a younger person!"
Jiang Qing smacked his lips and stopped talking about the delicious food he had eaten today.
Ji Chengjin didn't know yet that he had become an elder in Qu Qianqian's heart.
The two returned to the dormitory, and Qu Qianqian logged into the game first. On the screen, Xiao Lingyu was standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the scenery below, giving her a feeling of "looking down on all the mountains".
Qu Qianqian left her hanging there and ran to wash up.
When I was getting changed, I noticed a decorative button on my skirt was missing. I searched everywhere but couldn't find it, so I figured it might have fallen off. But it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't think much of it.
After I came back, I found a friend request on my phone. I clicked it and saw three words: Ji Chengjin.
Qu Qianqian quickly approved the application and made a note - Mr. Ji.
It's a koi! : Good evening, Mr. Ji, we have arrived at the dormitory safely!
Mr. Ji: I'm glad you're safe. Did you lose this button?
Mr. Ji: [Picture]
Ji Chengjin sent a photo, in which a white button carved with a camellia lay quietly in his palm.
This is indeed the button she dropped! Hmm... Mr. Ji's hands are so beautiful...
It’s a koi! : Yes!
Mr. Ji: I’ll give it back to you next time we meet.
