Chapter 27
"Hmm?" Lan Shuqing suddenly became interested. She stood up and sat next to Lan Zhaozhao. "Aunt Zhao, have you seen her?"
Lan Zhaozhao smiled and praised her generously, "Today, we had a project report from the three departments of the headquarters' finance department, and she gave the best report."
Li Liyue also became interested and asked, "Is it really that good?"
Lan Zhaoting and Lan Qi went to the study to discuss things again, leaving only Li Liyue, Lan Zhaozhao and Lan Shuqing in the living room.
Lan Zhaozhao nodded. "Although she's young, her performance is impressive. The girl is a little nervous, but the content is still good."
Lan Shuqing stood beside Lan Zhaozhao, hugging the pillow and nodding proudly, "Of course."
Li Liyue rolled her eyes at Lan Shuqing, "You know this again?"
Lan Shu snorted, "Of course I know."
Jiang Bai is still very powerful.
Lan Zhaozhao was a little confused, "Shu Qing, how do you know her?"
Lan Shu leaned her chin against the pillow, glanced at Li Liyue, and said, "I know her..." Then she squeezed in next to the single sofa where Lan Zhaozhao was sitting, "Aunt Zhao, tell me more."
Lan Zhaozhao laughed and took out her phone. "There's a video of every report. I'll show it to you."
So when Jiang Bai didn't know, three people held Lan Zhaozhao's mobile phone and watched the entire process of her report. Because the scene was also recorded by employees' mobile phones, the sound and picture quality were not particularly good, but as Lan Zhaozhao said, Jiang Bai's performance was remarkable.
Li Liyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Lan Shuqing and Jiang Bai met because of that accident, she was really worried that Lan Shuqing would make some bad friends. However, she believed in Lan Shuqing's vision, so she never asked much about it.
Until now, Li Liyue feels that the little girl is still pretty good!
"Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's get some rest."
Li Liyue started to chase people away. Lan Zhaozhao had a separate room here. Knowing that she was coming, Aunt Yao cleaned the room again. Li Liyue first went upstairs to the study to call people.
Lan Shuqing and Lan Zhaozhao were walking behind. When they reached the stairs, Lan Shuqing suddenly grabbed Lan Zhaozhao and said in a flattering tone, "Aunt Zhao, can you please send me the video you just saw?"
The video is the entire report in the morning, two and a half hours.
After receiving it, Lan Shuqing secretly edited the video in the room. He downloaded a software and learned how to edit the video. He spent half an hour to separate the part about Jiang Bai.
It was already half past eleven when we finished.
Lan Shu stretched lightly and picked up his phone. At the top was a message from Jiang Bai: Good night.
Lan Shuqing thought that she was probably too tired today, so Jiang Bai didn't send her anything else.
So she replied: Good night.
The next morning, Lan Shuqing received Jiang Bai's good morning message as usual. After she replied, she got up and washed up.
Today is Friday, and it's time to rest after class. Lan Shuqing attended classes seriously all day, and only felt something was wrong in the afternoon.
Jiang Bai never sent her a message except for good morning.
Q version of the little man: Are you off work?
Lan Shuqing had already gone to evening self-study when Jiang Bai replied: Not yet.
After the evening study session, Lan Shuqing saw Jiang Bai's reply and asked again: "What about now? Have you returned home?"
Pure white avatar: Not yet.
Q version of the villain: Still working overtime? Why are you so late today?
Q version of the little man: I'm out of school.
Pure white avatar: Deal with something.
Q version of the villain: Huh?
Pure white avatar: No more talking, I have to go busy myself first, you go home early.
Lan Shuqing lay on the table, looking at the cold words on his phone, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Xie Rong came over and said, "Shu Qing, let's go."
Lan Shuqing put away his phone, picked up his schoolbag, and followed Xie Rong out of the classroom.
On the other hand, Jiang Bai was indeed still in the company, and he did have to work overtime for something, but it was also true that he didn't want to send messages to Lan Shuqing.
Jiang Bai is very confused now. She is sure that she likes Lan Shuqing, and Lan Shuqing also likes to be with her, but their likes are different.
To Lan Shuqing, she is more like an older sister.
Jiang Bai stared at the computer screen. She couldn't do the work at hand anymore. She glanced at the time. It was half past nine. It was getting late. She could pack up and go back.
When Lan Shuqing returned home, only Aunt Yao was at home.
Lan Zhaoting and Lan Qi were on a business trip, and the man was not at home. Li Liyue went to play with her friends and left a message for Lan Shuqing saying that she would be back tomorrow and apologized.
Tomorrow is Saturday. Lan Shuqing returned to his room, took out his mobile phone, looked at the silent chat software on the phone, and his mind changed. He immediately got up and started packing.
"Aunt Yao, I'm staying at a friend's house today and will be back on the weekend!"
After saying that, she went out with her bag on her back. Aunt Yao also saw that she had changed her clothes and was not wearing her school uniform.
However, when Lan Shuqing took a taxi to Jiang Bai's house, Jiang Bai had not returned yet. Lan Shuqing stood at the gate of the community and called Jiang Bai, and it was a video call.
Jiang Bai was still riding her bike. She stopped by the roadside and took out her phone from her messenger bag. As soon as she unlocked it, she saw Lan Shuqing's profile picture. She clicked to answer the call, and Lan Shuqing's voice came from the other side, "Jiang Bai!"
The sound was a bit loud. Jiang Bai's face flushed. She quickly took out her headphones from her bag and put them on. She coughed lightly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lan Shuqing waved her phone around the scene, the dim light making her face slightly hazy. "I'm downstairs at your house. What's your password? It's so cold outside."
Jiang Bai automatically ignored Lan Shuqing's question and asked with some confusion, "Why are you downstairs from my house?"
"There's no one at home. My mom, dad, and brother are all out..." Lan Shuqing asked pitifully, "It's so cold outside."
It was December now, and the weather was a bit cold, but Jiang Bai saw that Lan Shuqing was wearing quite a lot of clothes. She held her phone and looked at Lan Shuqing, who was also looking at her. Jiang Bai really wanted Lan Shuqing to go home. Reason told her that she should do so, but...
Jiang Bai read out six numbers to Lan Shu, who smiled softly, "I'll remember that. Ride slowly. I'll wait for you to come back."
"Um."
After hanging up the video, Jiang Bai started her electric scooter. She looked at the people and cars coming and going on the street. Thinking of Lan Shuqing waiting for her, something in her heart kept urging her to go home quickly.
Lan Shuqing got the password and went upstairs happily. She had memorized Jiang Bai's house number from the last time she came. She entered the password and entered the door. The switch for the living room light was at the entrance. She turned on the light, closed the door, and changed her shoes.
Very quiet.
Lan Shuqing was very happy. She threw her schoolbag on the sofa, put her hands on her hips, looked around the living room, patrolling her territory like a new lord. She turned and walked towards the kitchen. She was a little hungry.
There were only a few boxes of yogurt in the refrigerator. Lan Shuqing took one, drank it while walking around the second bedroom, and then went to the balcony in the living room.
The room was tidy and neat. It was obvious that Jiang Bai loved to tidy up. However, the things in the room were too simple and looked a bit thin. Lan Shuqing stood in front of the French window, slurping yogurt and looking out the window.
After reading for a while, Lan Shuqing felt a little bored. She threw away the yogurt box and walked to the master bedroom. She looked at the blue quilt neatly spread on the bed. Well, Jiang Bai had changed the quilt cover. She pounced on it and lay on the bed. She took a breath, then kicked off her slippers, wrapped herself in the quilt, and rolled around like a silkworm.
Anyway, Jiang Bai hasn't come back yet, so I'll take a nap first.
Jiang Bai shortened the journey from twenty minutes to fifteen minutes.
After entering the room, Jiang Bai saw the schoolbag on the sofa at a glance, but did not see anyone. She called out, "Lan Shuqing?"
No one answered. Jiang Bai changed her shoes, took off her cross-body bag and put it on the shoe cabinet. She glanced at the bathroom and saw no one there. She glanced at the study and saw no one there either. Jiang Bai walked straight to the master bedroom.
There was a silkworm pupa lying on the bed.
The curtains in the master bedroom were not drawn, and she could vaguely see a girl lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt, with two slippers lying in a mess on the floor. Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment. She squatted down, put the slippers away, and then walked over quietly. She saw Lan Shuqing holding the corner of the quilt with her left hand, with her head resting on her right hand, sleeping soundly.
In the dim light, Jiang Bai stood in front of the bed, her eyes falling on Lan Shuqing's sleeping face. She relaxed as if she had confirmed something. She was still thinking about what to do along the way, but the moment she saw Lan Shuqing, she felt that nothing else mattered.
What matters is the present.
Jiang Bai will restrain his love until Lan Shuqing stops getting close to her.
Just like before.
Jiang Bai gently sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out to tidy up Lan Shu's slightly messy hair, and carefully pushed it aside. There was the scent of jasmine in the air, like white bubbles.
Soft and beautiful, Jiang Bai's eyes sank slightly, and she unconsciously leaned over, wanting to see more clearly.
At this moment, Lan Shuqing opened her eyes. The moment she adjusted to the light, she saw Jiang Bai's face clearly. She widened her eyes in surprise and rushed towards Jiang Bai, "Jiang Bai, you're back!"
It was like the clear chirping of birds in the mountains, like the singing in the city, like the fragrance of flowers blooming in an instant, like the first sound heard in the mind, so joyful and clear, it struck Jiang Bai's heart and exuded endless love.
"Um."
Jiang Bai held Lan Shuqing in her arms and replied softly. She didn't dare to speak loudly, fearing that the happiness would slip away if she made a loud noise.
Lan Shuqing hugged Jiang Bai's neck tightly, then took a deep breath. Jiang Bai gently stroked her back. This was one of the few hugs they had, and she only hoped that the hug could last a little longer.
Gurgle~
Whose stomach is rumbling?
Jiang Bai pushed Lan Shuqing away and asked doubtfully, "Are you hungry?"
Lan Shuqing smiled sheepishly and said, "I didn't eat dinner, so I'm a little hungry."
Jiang Bai frowned, "Why don't you eat dinner?"
Lan Shuqing choked. It was because someone hadn't sent her any messages. She had been thinking about it so much that she had forgotten to eat. Lan Shuqing grabbed Jiang Bai's hands and complained, "You haven't sent me any messages these past two days!"
There was still a hint of grievance in his voice. Jiang Bai looked at her and said, "I was busy making a report."
Lan Shu curled his lips and said, "You finished your report yesterday!"
Jiang Bai smiled helplessly, "Our department still has to make a summary today."
Lan Shu leaned over and looked carefully into Jiang Bai's eyes. She found that he was not lying and did look a little tired. She squeezed Jiang Bai's hand and said, "Okay, I forgive you."
"Thank you, generous Miss Lan~" Jiang Bai smiled.
