Chapter 14
The overtime on the 1st is actually on duty. Jiang Bai has to stay in the company in case of any emergencies. In addition to the work of the team leader, she also has some other work that requires constant attention.
Fortunately, although the tasks this month were heavy, nothing happened on the 1st and I got through it safely.
On the 2nd, Jiang Bai slept at home all day. It was only dawn on the 3rd, around 7:00 but not yet 8:00, when Jiang Bai woke up. He probably slept too much the day before.
After waking up, Jiang Bai got up and cleaned the house. She had been working overtime this week and hadn't done much housework. By the time she finished cleaning, it was already ten o'clock. Then she had to prepare lunch. She was a little confused. There were no vegetables in the refrigerator. Should she go buy some groceries, order takeout, or go out to eat?
Jiang Bai usually cooks for himself, but he doesn’t want to do that during the National Day. It’s a holiday, and who doesn’t want to reward himself?
How about we eat out?
Just when she was thinking about which restaurant to eat, the phone rang. Jiang Bai looked at the three words "Lan Shuqing", pursed her lips slightly, and then clicked to answer.
"Jiang Bai, I'm back!"
Little Lan's voice was cheerful, causing Jiang Bai to smile as well. "Have you arrived in City A or are you just getting ready to come back?"
"Of course we're in City A. Send me your location and I'll come find you."
Jiang Bai frowned slightly, "But I'm at home now."
"It's okay, I'll come to your house to find you."
Ten minutes ago, on the other side, City A Airport.
Xie Rong took Lan Shuqing's hand and said, "Shuqing, are you really not going back with us?"
The people who came out this time were mainly Xie Rong, Lan Shuqing, another girl in the class, and two boys. The boys were Chen Zhaolin and his brother Yang Bin.
At this time, Chen Zhaolin also looked at Lan Shuqing silently, curious why she came together but not went back together.
Lan Shu smiled softly and shook his head, "No, I'm going to go find a sister to play with."
Xie Rong was a little speechless, "That sister from last time? Don't you chat with her every day? Why do you go to find her as soon as you come back?"
To be honest, Xie Rong felt that her position was no longer secure. She no longer dared to say that she was Lan Shuqing's best friend.
Lan Shu chuckled, "You are different. Rongrong, you are still my best friend." She said and hugged Xie Rong.
Jiang Bai is different, Jiang Bai is just Jiang Bai.
Xie Rong finally let her go with satisfaction. She didn't have to compare, but she felt that Lan Shuqing seemed to care about that sister very much. Xie Rong thought about it and said, "Bring her out sometime so we can meet her. Your sister is our sister!"
Lan Shu nodded slightly and said, "We'll see when the time comes." He didn't know whether Jiang Bai was willing or whether he had the time.
Xie Rong snorted in his heart, and took the arm of the little sister beside him and held it, "Then we will leave first, you be careful."
Lan Shu nodded lightly, "Bye~"
Chen Zhaolin said goodbye to Lan Shuqing alone. Yang Bin glanced at Lan Shuqing and said goodbye. Then he quickly caught up with Chen Zhaolin, bumped his shoulder, and laughed teasingly, "With you like this, when will there be any progress?"
Half of the class knew that Chen Zhaolin liked Lan Shuqing, but Chen Zhaolin just refused to confess his feelings and said nothing. Yang Bin supported Chen Zhaolin very much. After all, everyone liked beautiful women. Lan Shuqing's grades were better than theirs, and she didn't look like she was in a relationship. No one dared to say anything else to Lan Shuqing. Most of the communication was asking questions or going out to play together like this.
After Xie Rong and the others left, Lan Shuqing called her father again. She had already informed him that she would spend a day with Jiang Bai after she came back.
Jiang Bai was just too slow, and it took him a while to send her the location after he finished talking to her on the phone.
Lan Shuqing took a taxi and went straight to Jiang Bai's house.
After Jiang Bai sent her location, she began to feel lucky that she had cleaned the house today, otherwise she wouldn't be able to see anyone. She thought, "I'll ask Lan Shuqing what he wants to eat later," and then she went downstairs to wait for him. While she was waiting, she bought a small cake.
It took about half an hour from the airport. As soon as Lan Shuqing got out of the car, he saw Jiang Bai waiting at the entrance of the community.
The weather in October was still cool, so Jiang Bai wore a white T-shirt, a pair of light shorts, cloud-patterned slippers, and was holding something in his hand.
The taxi stopped and the back door opened. Jiang Bai had been watching for Lan Shuqing to arrive, so she saw him at a glance and walked over.
Lan Shuqing got out of the car, wearing a light green waist-length knee-length skirt and carrying a small white bag. She also saw Jiang Bai. When she saw her coming over, she pointed to the back. Jiang Bai obediently walked towards the opened trunk.
Jiang Bai reached out and took out a pink suitcase, placed it beside him, held it with one hand, and closed the trunk with the other.
Jiang Bai turned to look at Lan Shuqing, "Shall we go up first? Let's take a rest?"
Lan Shu nodded slightly.
The two walked side by side. When entering the community, Jiang Bai first scanned Lan Shu's face before going in himself.
Lan Shu looked around the neighborhood and asked, "Are you renting a house here?"
Jiang Bai shook his head, "No, I bought it."
Lan Shuqing was a little surprised, "Did you buy it yourself?"
Jiang Bai smiled and said nothing more.
Lan Shu glanced at her lightly, then leaned over and took her hand, without further questioning, "You don't know, I came back hungry and sleepy. The flight was at 9:30 this morning, and we got up before 7..."
Jiang Bai listened to Lan Shuqing's words and tilted his head to look at her. The little girl had her hair down today and put on some light makeup. Her light green skirt outlined her beautiful lines, and she looked a little immature. She was wearing flat shoes on her feet.
It’s so beautiful, it seems like they are not children anymore.
Jiang Bai silently withdrew his gaze, "Today is also a holiday, why didn't you think of coming back later? Why did you come back so early?"
Lan Shu chuckled, "Xie Rong said that holiday tickets are hard to come by, so the only flight left is in the morning."
Jiang Bai nodded, yes.
Lan Shuqing tilted her head to look at her. Jiang Bai was half a head shorter than her, so she could look at him openly without being noticed. Jiang Bai's skin was as his name suggested, and it felt cold even when he was holding her arm around her. Lan Shuqing suspected that this person must have been cold because he was wearing so little, but she couldn't tell.
Jiang Bai tied her hair behind her head as usual, and rarely let it down. Sometimes she would slightly raise her head to look at Lan Shuqing, and Lan Shuqing could see her fair neck and her well-defined jawline, and he would silently give her a thumbs up in his heart.
After a short walk, we arrived at Jiang Bai's apartment. The complex had eight buildings in total and was very quiet. The courtyard was large, with areas for children to play and exercise, and the facilities were very complete. Jiang Bai lived in Building 3, on the 23rd floor, a mid-rise building with four units per floor. He occupied room 2.
To sum it up it is 3-23-2.
Jiang Bai unlocked the door with his fingerprint, and Lan Shuqing followed Jiang Bai into the room.
It is a two-bedroom apartment. There is a dining table on the right side of the door and a shoe cabinet on the left side. The door faces the living room and you can see the floor-to-ceiling window. A little further forward is the kitchen on the left, and the bathroom and second bedroom are on the right. Going further forward to the right side of the living room is the master bedroom.
The overall decoration style is very simple, or even it can be said that there is no decoration style at all. There is no decoration on the white walls, and even the furniture is simple, with a light gray sofa, coffee table, TV, TV cabinet, khaki floor-length curtains, and there seems to be a small table near the floor-length window.
At first glance, there seems to be a group of bungalows in the distance from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the view is quite good.
Lan Shuqing put on the slippers Jiang Bai had prepared. After taking two steps, she glanced at Jiang Bai's shoes, which were three sizes larger than hers. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Jiang Bai, your shoes are so big."
"Huh?" Jiang Bai had just put her things on the shoe cabinet when she looked down. Lan Shuqing's shoes were indeed a little too big for her. She smiled sheepishly and said, "Just make do with these for now. I'll get you a new pair next time."
This word successfully pleased Lan Shuqing. She glanced at Jiang Bai and nodded, "Okay."
As she spoke, she first went to the kitchen. The kitchen was quite spacious and could fit a large double-door refrigerator without feeling crowded. Further in, there was a small balcony facing the atrium. There was a washing machine on the balcony and a clothesline above. The small balcony had no windows, only anti-theft nets, and it was quite ventilated.
Jiang Bai watched her wandering around the house. After walking around the balcony, she went to take a look at the bathroom and the second bedroom. The second bedroom was converted into a study, equipped with tatami and a computer desk. The tatami was covered with soft cushions and a few pillows. Above it was a whole row of bookshelves, with almost no empty space. Lan Shu glanced at them briefly. There were financial books and novels. There was a bay window on the right, and there was a cushion on the bay window. The window faced the street, and the curtains were green, which looked very nice.
Then there are the living room and the master bedroom. There is nothing good to see in the living room, you can see it as soon as you walk in; the master bedroom only has cabinets, a bed, a floor-to-ceiling window, and the curtains are also green.
After Lan Shuqing finished her shopping, she took her small white bag and leaned back on the sofa. The sofa was a special shape, with a large triangle on the side near the floor-to-ceiling window where you could lean back and lie down. Lan Shuqing unceremoniously moved over and leaned over, "Jiang Bai, your sofa is quite comfortable."
Jiang Bai hummed softly. She placed the suitcase next to the TV cabinet, then walked over and placed the things she was carrying in front of Lan Shuqing. "Didn't you say you were hungry? I bought a small cake. Try it."
Lan Shuqing sat up upon hearing this and smiled, "Did you buy it for me?"
Jiang Bai sat down next to Lan Shuqing and said, "I just bought it."
This shop is usually very crowded, so the food must be good.
Lan Shu glanced at her lightly, then opened the bag. It was a small strawberry cake for one person. She took it out. There was a strawberry hanging on the pink cream. It looked good, but... She glanced at Jiang Bai. This man was serious and old-fashioned. Even the cake he bought was the most ordinary strawberry cake.
Lan Shuqing was indeed hungry. She opened the package and took a small piece with her fork. Then her eyes lit up. It looked ordinary, but it tasted good. She tilted her head to look at Jiang Bai, "Jiang Bai, this cake is delicious."
Jiang Bai nodded, "Yeah, business is usually pretty good, a lot of people buy from us."
The cream was not greasy and was very soft, and the strawberries were surprisingly fresh. Lan Shuqing said as he ate, "Then I'll try a different flavor next time and see how other flavors taste."
Jiang Bai thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Lan Shu leaned over and touched Jiang Bai's shoulder, "Then you have to remember this."
Jiang Bai's body stiffened for a moment, but he still agreed, "I understand."
Lan Shuqing was very satisfied.
The cake wasn't big, so Lan Shuqing finished it in no time. Jiang Bai glanced at her. Lan Shuqing had good upbringing, and she ate in a very polite, even elegant, manner. Watching Lan Shuqing eat was a real treat, but Jiang Bai was still thinking about something else. She looked at Lan Shuqing and said, "You've finished the cake too. What about lunch? What do you want to eat?"
Lan Shu shook her head slightly. She leaned back on the sofa and yawned, then tilted her head to look at Jiang Bai, her long hair draped over her shoulders and her eyes moist. "No, I'm not eating anymore. I'm so sleepy. I want to take a nap first."
"But..." Jiang Bai was about to say something when Lan Shuqing came over, took her arm, and leaned on her shoulder. He looked up at her pitifully and said coquettishly, "I'm not hungry anymore after eating the cake, but I'm really sleepy now. I want to sleep."
Jiang Bai looked at Lan Shuqing's pretty face, wondering how someone could be so good-looking. He quietly straightened up to let Lan Shuqing lean closer, "Then I'll tidy up the study..."
As he was about to stand up, Lan Shu gently pulled him back, "No need!"
Jiang Bai looked at her in confusion.
Lan Shu gently hugged her arm and said coquettishly, "I'll sleep in your room, okay? I'm really sleepy and can't wait any longer."
The girl leaned against her softly, looking at her softly, and her voice was also soft. Jiang Bai pursed her lips lightly and said, "That's fine."
Lan Shuqing smiled with satisfaction, "Then I'll go change into pajamas and take off my makeup." Then she went to open the suitcase to get her things.
While Lan Shuqing went to the bathroom to change clothes and remove makeup, Jiang Bai went to the master bedroom, shook the quilt, and lowered the curtains. Then he took a look at the master bedroom to make sure there was nothing wrong with it before returning to the living room and sitting on the sofa.
After Lan Shuqing changed into her pajamas, she saw Jiang Bai sitting upright. She felt a little funny, but she held it in.
Jiang Bai saw her come out, stood up and walked over to her, taking the clothes she had changed out of, "Give them to me, I'll keep them for you."
"Um."
Just like the last time in the mountains, Lan Shuqing's pajamas were silk, light blue, long sleeves and long pants. Jiang Bai looked at her again before turning around to put her clothes away. She had built a shelf next to the wardrobe in the master bedroom specifically for clothes.
When Jiang Bai was hanging up the clothes, Lan Shuqing had already gone to lie down on the bed very consciously. Jiang Bai glanced at Lan Shuqing and said, "Then you go to sleep first. I'm going out."
Lan Shu nodded slightly, Jiang Bai turned and went out, then gently closed the door.
The room suddenly became dark. Lan Shuqing covered her face with the quilt and smiled secretly, but did not dare to laugh out loud. Jiang Bai's quilt was light purple with flowers, soft, and smelled of laundry detergent and Jiang Bai's scent. It was very fragrant.
Lan Shuqing took a deep breath, her chest filled with the scent of Jiang Bai, as if her heart was also filled up all of a sudden. She was really sleepy, but also seemed a little excited, and her heart was beating very fast.
She seemed to be the first person to visit Jiang Bai's house.
Thinking of this first point, Lan Shuqing became even happier. She thought she would not be able to fall asleep, but the sweet smell in the quilt made her relax quickly, just like Jiang Bai, who made her feel at ease.
