Chapter 21 Agreement
The night was quiet, the moon was hidden behind the clouds, the sound of engines came and went, cars whizzed past on the street, but the streets on both sides were unusually quiet.
Jiang Bai placed her hand on Lan Shuqing's chest, looking into her bright eyes. There was a hint of teasing in them. Jiang Bai suddenly woke up and pushed Lan Shuqing away, "What are you doing?"
Lan Shuqing crossed his arms across his chest, "What do you mean by 'what am I doing'? It was obviously you who fell accidentally, and I was kind enough to help you up, but you didn't even appreciate it."
Jiang Bai heard her heartbeat slow down from fast. She coughed lightly and said, "Let's go. It's getting late. If we don't go back soon, your family will be worried."
Lan Shu gently pulled her back and called her seriously, "Jiang Bai."
"Hmm?" Jiang Bai turned around and looked at her.
Lan Shuqing looked at her seriously and said, "I'm serious. You must do what you promised me."
His heartbeat began to speed up uncontrollably again. Jiang Bai instinctively felt that this was abnormal, but Lan Shuqing was too serious. There was only Jiang Bai in her eyes. She was so serious that Jiang Bai thought he was very important in Lan Shuqing's heart.
But how is that possible?
Jiang Bai looked at Lan Shuqing for a long time without replying.
Lan Shuqing's expression remained serious. "Jiang Bai, I'm not kidding. If you promise something but can't do it, then don't say it."
Jiang Bai's eyes tightened. She looked at Lan Shuqing, her heart beating like a drum. This was an experience she had never had before. Once she continued to agree, she could not break her promise.
If she breaks her promise, she will lose something...
In a trance, Jiang Bai heard Lan Shuqing asking her: "Did you hear that?"
Jiang Bai looked at Lan Shuqing, was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Okay, I understand."
Lan Shuqing then smiled with satisfaction, "That's good."
Lan Shuqing believed that Jiang Bai had understood what he meant, so he said, "Let's go back."
Jiang Bai sent Lan Shuqing home and then went back. It was twelve o'clock again. She stood at the door and took out her mobile phone to send a message to Lan Shuqing before changing her shoes.
Her finger paused on the chat box for a moment, and finally sent it.
Pure white avatar: I'm home and ready to take a shower and go to bed.
Pure white avatar: Good night.
After sending the message, Jiang Bai changed his shoes, took his pajamas and bath towel, took a shower and went to bed. While Jiang Bai was taking a shower, the phone on the shoe cabinet vibrated.
Q version of the little man: Okay, I'm going to sleep too.
Q version of the little man: Good night.
Lan Shuqing lay on the bed, staring at the chat history with Jiang Bai. She couldn't help but recall the look in Jiang Bai's eyes when she hugged him.
That kind of stunning look with a hint of hidden obsession.
Thinking of Jiang Bai's explanation today, Lan Shu sighed lightly. She realized that Jiang Bai was very defensive. He would not tell her about family matters, his own affairs, or even when he was unhappy.
In short, just don’t tell.
But it doesn’t matter. Lan Shu held the phone lightly. There is still a long way to go, and she must know about Jiang Bai. Although she doesn’t know why, she just wants to know so that her heart can calm down.
Moreover, Jiang Bai agreed to her promise.
-----------------------
Pure white avatar: Good morning~
The next day, the first thing Lan Shuqing did when she opened her eyes was to find her phone. Sure enough, a WeChat message appeared on the screen before she unlocked it. She clicked it and it was Jiang Bai's good morning greeting.
Q version villain: Good morning~
Lan Shuqing was in a good mood. It seemed that Jiang Bai had completely listened to her words. Thinking of this, Lan Shuqing found an emoticon package to send.

When Jiang Bai saw it, he smiled helplessly. Who was bigger?
From that day on, Jiang Bai sent Lan Shuqing good morning and good night messages every day, and took the initiative to share more and more interesting things with Lan Shuqing.
For example, who is arguing with whom in the company, or who is spreading gossip... something like that...
Jiang Bai was more proactive than before, and Lan Shuqing was quite satisfied with him. This was the kind of person he was. He was proactive in talking about other things, but he never talked about his own affairs.
He is a taciturn person.
It's October now, and the courses are harder and more demanding than at the beginning. Lan Shuqing can only chat with Jiang Bai during lunch break, evening break, or when she gets home at night. They can't chat much every day. She has to go home to clean up and go to bed.
Then on weekends, starting this month, Lan Shuqing had more classes on weekends, and sometimes she also had to follow Lan Qi, her brother, to work on plans or something, so she had no time to look for Jiang Bai.
October is the time for online chatting.
This situation continued until the 30th of the month. The school did not arrange any monthly exams this month, but Jiang Bai had to work overtime as usual, on Monday the 30th and Tuesday the 31st.
Ten-thirty at night on the 30th.
Lan Shuqing lay on the bed and sent a message to Jiang Bai: Are you home?
Pure White Avatar: Yeah.
Pure white avatar: I'm ready for bed.
Q version of the little man: It seems that today is earlier than before?
Pure white avatar: Well, I got off work at nine o'clock today. There will be more things to do tomorrow, so I guess I won't be off work until twelve o'clock.
Q version of the little man: It’s really hard.
Pure White Avatar: What about you? How are you?
Q version of the villain: I am almost exhausted...I need motivation urgently
Q version villain: rolling around.jpg
Pure white avatar: Lan Shuqing is so smart, there must be no problem. And have you heard a saying?
Q version villain: What?
Pure white avatar: work hard
One minute of silence.
Q version of the villain: Huh?
Pure white avatar: Come on, work hard, poop hard, it doesn’t matter if you can’t poop, at least you can fart!
Q-version villain: Jiang Bai!!!!!! You are so vulgar!!!
Pure white avatar: (～￣▽￣)～
Pure white avatar: This is a nursery rhyme
Q version villain: Get out!!!
Pure white avatar: rolling around.jpg
Pure white avatar: I am so obedient.
Lan Shuqing held the phone lightly, pulled the quilt with his left hand, and laughed with his lower lip, "Jiang Bai, you idiot..."
Originally, Lan Shuqing was really tired after a month of intense study, but after Jiang Bai's interruption, Lan Shuqing relaxed all of a sudden. It was really the first time she saw someone comforted in this way.
Suddenly, she wanted to see Jiang Bai very much. Lan Shuqing couldn't control herself. She hadn't seen Jiang Bai for more than half a month. Her finger fell on the voice call button. She made up her mind, pressed it, and then chose: video.
Jiang Bai was startled when her phone suddenly vibrated. She looked at the incoming call and subconsciously pressed the answer button. Then Lan Shuqing's enlarged face popped up.
Jiang Bai's hand trembled and he almost dropped his phone.
Why is it a video?!
Jiang Bai scratched his hair and looked at the phone. He was indeed a good-looking person. Even the phone could not hide Lan Shuqing's appearance. He was as handsome as when he met her in person.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Bai smoothed his hair and glanced at himself in the small frame. He looked calm on the surface, but a little panicked in his heart.
Lan Shuqing seemed unaware. She leaned against the headboard, staring at Jiang Bai and said with a smile, "Jiang Bai, you'd look better with your hair down."
"Really?" Jiang Bai scratched his hair again.
"Stop scratching, or your hair will be gone," Lan Shu chuckled. In just one minute, Jiang Bai had already scratched her three times. She understood that Jiang Bai was a little nervous, but he was too nervous.
Jiang Bai put his hand down and smiled, "I just washed my hair, it's a little messy."
Lan Shuqing changed her position and leaned sideways on the pillow. "It's not messy." She stared at Jiang Bai for a while and asked, "Jiang Bai, which company do you work for?"
"Zhenghe Group," Jiang Bai replied, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Lan Shuqing felt a sense of familiarity when he heard the name, "The Zhenghe Group on Silverstone Street?"
Jiang Bai nodded, "You know?"
The reason why this name sounded familiar was because Lan Shuqing had an aunt who worked at Zhenghe Group. He wondered if Jiang Bai knew her. Lan Shu chuckled and said, "Then I'll come find you after class tomorrow?"
Jiang Bai straightened up and asked, "You came to see me?"
Lan Shu nodded slightly, "Then it's settled."
Jiang Bai smoothed his hair and said, "But I have to work."
Lan Shu chuckled, "I won't disturb you from working."
"I'm not saying you'll disturb me at work," Jiang Bai explained. "It's that I have to work and may not be able to take care of you. You'll be very bored over there."
Lan Shuqing smiled again, "No."
Jiang Bai said helplessly, "You still have classes the day after tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter."
If you want to see it, you will definitely see it.
The next day, morning.
As usual, after saying good morning to Jiang Bai, Lan Shuqing packed up and prepared to go to school. She put on some light makeup, found a nice silk scarf to tie her hair, and found a skirt from the closet and put it in her schoolbag for later use.
I can't just wear my school uniform when I go to see Jiang Bai.
After packing his schoolbag, Lan Shuqing went downstairs to have breakfast. Everyone else in the family was there, including Li Liyue, Lan Zhaoting and Lan Qi. Lan Shuqing went downstairs and sat next to Li Liyue. He picked up the milk and took a sip.
The other three people glanced at each other, and Li Liyue spoke first, "Shu Qing, are you wearing makeup today?"
Lan Shu nodded slightly. "Yeah," she said, looking at Li Liyue. "Mom, I'm going to go find Jiang Bai after class today. If it's late, I'll stay at her house."
Li Liyue and Lan Zhaoting exchanged a glance, "Then be careful."
Lan Shu nodded slightly, "I know, and her home is not far away."
Why didn't she come back when she was not far away, and why did she even put on makeup? Li Liyue understood that it was because they were close friends, but Lan Qi still had some doubts. He had never seen his sister have such a good relationship with anyone. Even with Xie Rong, they only played together on weekends and never stayed overnight during classes.
“I heard…”
Lan Shu glanced over, and Lan Qi considered his words carefully, "Jiang Bai is already working?"
Lan Shu nodded slightly, "I just found out yesterday that she works at Zhenghe Group."
Lan Zhaoting hummed in confusion and looked at Lan Shuqing, "Is that the Zhenghe Group that Zhao Zhao is in?"
Lan Shuqing nodded again, "Yes, it's Aunt Zhao's company."
"what for?"
"Finance, right?" Jiang Bai herself said she was in finance, but from their daily conversations, it seemed that she did more than just finance. However, she didn't understand the specific work content of Zhenghe Group, so she could only answer finance.
Lan Zhaoting warned: "Go back, don't disturb others at work."
Lan Shu chuckled and said, "Dad, I'm not a child. I know."
