Chapter 45
The college entrance examination lasted for two days, and Jiang Bai went to guard the gate of Experimental Middle School for two days. He only saw people at the end of the first and second days.
The next day, when the exam was over and all the candidates had left, Jiang Bai saw Lan Shuqing. As soon as he walked out of the school gate, he was picked up by Li Liyue and others with flowers. They were so fast, it seemed that something happened.
Jiang Bai also has his own things to do.
It would take another half a month for the results to be released after the exam, and Li Liyue and Lan Zhaoting took out the gift they had prepared for Lan Shuqing a long time ago, a fund deposit slip. After the college entrance examination, Lan Shuqing would be an adult and should have his own funds.
It also means that Lan Shuqing can truly start living independently.
Giving such a gift is just right.
Lan Qi gave Lan Shuqing a top-of-the-line laptop, but because Lan Shuqing was a girl, he gave her a thin model, the top-of-the-line model. He had originally planned to give Lan Shuqing a car, but she was going to Beijing, so it would be a waste to leave the car at home.
Give him a computer first, and then give him a car after Lan Shuqing finishes college.
During the half month of waiting for the results, Lan Shuqing and Xie Rong went out for a graduation trip. After the college entrance examination, Old Xie no longer kept Xie Rong under control like before. Together with the two sisters Huang Xue and Huang Yue, the four of them went to Sanya for a trip, went to Beijing to visit Tiananmen Square, and then went to Peking University for a trip.
When the four people return to City A, the results will be out in one day.
Jiang Bai has been working during this period. Around June 17th, the headquarters sent out a competition notice. The project team was short of people and was recruiting.
Lan Shuqing did not go home immediately after returning to City A. Today was Saturday, and Lan Shuqing took the afternoon flight. It was already seven o'clock when she arrived. She took a taxi to the downstairs of Jiangbai Community.
City A is brightly lit. Looking up from the entrance of the community, you can't see Jiang Bai's house. You have to go to the other side to see it.
Lan Shuqing pulled her suitcase and stood at the gate of the community, hesitating and not daring to go up, because she was not sure whether Jiang Bai was at home, nor was she sure whether Jiang Bai had really deleted her fingerprints.
While hesitating, Lan Shuqing found a corner to stand in. She took out her mobile phone, opened WeChat, but did not send a message.
She didn't want to come to see Jiang Bai so early, nor did she want to take the initiative to see Jiang Bai. It was Jiang Bai who violated the contract first, and Jiang Bai hadn't apologized to her yet. Why should she forgive her?
Although she thought so in her heart, it was not so easy to control her longing. For more than three months, Lan Shuqing could only study non-stop so that Jiang Bai would not jump around in her mind.
But when he got off the plane, the planned college entrance examination and travel were over, and the results were about to be released, but Lan Shuqing had not received any care and greetings from anyone.
and……
Lan Shu pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable for some reason.
Just then, a man came out from the gate of the community. He was wearing jeans and a light green jacket. He was standing at the gate of the community with a mobile phone in his hand, looking around.
Not far away, a car slid to the door and stopped. A woman got out of the car and the man went to greet her.
Lan Shuqing watched Jiang Bai carry the luggage for the woman and held the phone tightly.
Jiang Bai pushed the suitcase with one hand, and the woman held his other hand as they walked into the community.
As if sensing something, Jiang Baiwang looked to the right of the community and saw Lan Shuqing standing in the shadows. She stopped and the white suitcase stopped beside Lan Shuqing. The girl was wearing a lavender dress, her long hair was tied up, and she was wearing a pair of slippers. She looked graceful and elegant.
Jiang Bai forgot to react for a moment.
On the other side, Lan Shuqing saw that Jiang Bai did not move and was only concerned about another woman. She felt angry and upset. She pulled her suitcase and walked out, as if she was about to leave. Jiang Bai panicked for a moment. She lifted her foot, but then took it back and watched Lan Shuqing leave.
Tang Yingyue was a little confused, "Jiang Bai?"
Lan Shuqing had already walked to the other end and took out her phone to hail a taxi. Jiang Bai looked at her back, her throat rolling but she did nothing. She turned to Tang Yingyue and smiled, "Let's go."
The person had already walked into the community, but Lan Shuqing was still waiting for the bus. She turned around to look at the figure gradually moving away from the door, and held her phone tightly.
Jiang Bai and Tang Yingyue were high school classmates, but Tang Yingyue transferred to their school in her senior year. She had excellent grades and ranked in the top ten in the school.
When she was in high school, Jiang Bai only cared about studying. She was surprised and impressed that new classmates could directly get into the top ten. At that time, she did not understand the gap between big cities and small cities.
Later I learned that Tang Yingyue was forced to return to S City to study because of household registration issues.
Normally, the two of them don't really contact each other, but they had a good relationship in high school. Tang Yingyue is going back to her hometown to do something this time, and she will take a flight to Beijing at around 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, so she has to arrive at the airport at least an hour in advance. When Jiang Bai found out, he invited her to stay at his house.
This location is closer to the airport and convenient for Tang Yingyue, so she agreed.
This was Tang Yingyue's first time at Jiang Bai's house. She looked around Jiang Bai's little nest and said with a smile, "Jiang Bai, isn't your decoration too monotonous?"
Jiang Bai smiled and said, "I don't like things that are too complicated."
Tang Yingyue nodded, "That's right."
Jiang Bai took her to the study and said, "You can sleep here tonight. We'll go have dinner later."
Jiang Bai tidied up the study simply, re-laid the sheets and quilt covers, and put away all the things related to Lan Shuqing in the room, such as cosmetics and teddy bear pillows. He also put away the miscellaneous small ornaments that could not be put away and placed them neatly in the master bedroom.
Unconsciously, Jiang Bai's little home had many of Lan Shuqing's things, and to some extent, Jiang Bai didn't want Tang Yingyue to touch these things.
Tang Yingyue packed up briefly and went downstairs with Jiang Bai to eat.
Jiang Bai invited Tang Yingyue to eat hotpot.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they both asked about each other's recent situation. When Jiang Bai learned that Tang Yingyue was about to get married, he was a little surprised.
"I still remember you once said that you didn't want to get married and that living to forty or fifty was enough."
That was what Tang Yingyue said when Jiang Bai and Tang Yingyue were taking a walk together on weekends in high school.
Tang Yingyue smiled sheepishly, "I was young and naive back then, and my boyfriend is a very nice person, and he treats me well too."
Jiang Bai nodded, "That's fine."
Jiang Bai had always agreed with what Tang Yingyue had said before, because at that time she already knew that if he liked a girl, it would be impossible for him to get married or find a partner.
Jiang Bai thought that Tang Yingyue would really never fall in love or get married. When she looked at Tang Yingyue, she suddenly felt that everything had changed and many things were different.
Tang Yingyue glanced at Jiang Bai and asked, "Jiang Bai, are you still alone now?"
Jiang Bai took a moment to realize what Tang Yingyue was asking. She smiled and thought of someone, "Yes, but I already have someone I like."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of tripe and ate it, her thoughts wandering away. There was someone she liked, but it was also she who gently pushed the blue book away with her own hands.
Tang Yingyue was a little surprised, "I thought you didn't have someone you liked."
Jiang Bai looked up and smiled at her, "Who said it wasn't?"
Hearing her say this, Tang Yingyue also smiled, as if she was back in high school when the two of them were walking and chatting along the river bank.
It was almost ten o'clock when they finished eating hot pot. They returned home, packed up and washed up, and then went back to their rooms.
Jiang Bai lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She kept thinking about how Lan Shuqing looked when she came to see her today. She was so pretty, so pretty. The child was so kind, and took the initiative to come to see her...
But, she couldn't...
That night, Jiang Bai thought a lot, and Lan Shuqing also thought a lot. She thought that Jiang Bai asked about her campus before because he wanted to apologize and reconcile with her, but after that, Jiang Bai disappeared again without any news.
Today, she finally returned from her trip to find her, but Jiang Bai, that woman, ignored her. Did Jiang Bai really not care about her? But whether she cared or not, it didn't matter anymore, because she decided not to be friends with her anymore.
Ever since Jiang Bai broke the contract, Lan Shuqing no longer wanted to be friends with her.
The next morning, Jiang Bai sent Tang Yingyue downstairs.
While waiting for the bus, Tang Yingyue couldn't help but look at Jiang Bai a few more times. Sometimes she still admired Jiang Bai very much. He hadn't changed in all these years, and was still the same, firmly walking his own way.
Tang Yingyue still remembers that when Jiang Bai was in high school, he rarely talked to other students in the class, and didn't care much about what was happening in the outside world. He was very silent, but he did things in an orderly manner.
It’s like she has a world of her own, and no one can get in, and she won’t come out either.
Tang Yingyue forgot how the two of them became familiar with each other, it was very strange. Later, the two of them often went to the park together on weekends, but they only went to the park.
It was very comfortable to get along with Jiang Bai. Her eyes were so clean and clear, different from anyone Tang Yingyue had met before.
However, after the college entrance examination, everyone went their separate ways and everything changed.
But now Jiang Bai no longer looked at her with the same attentiveness as before. Tang Yingyue suddenly felt empty in her heart. She attributed this feeling to time. After a long time, the relationship was not as good as before. Many people felt the same.
After Tang Yingyue got in the car, Jiang Bai stood there and turned back only after she could no longer see the rear of the car. She did not go upstairs, but rode her electric scooter out for a ride. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but think about random things, so it was good to find something to do.
Li Liyue got up early in the morning and started working in the kitchen with Aunt Yao. The college entrance examination results will be released today, and Lan Zhaozhao will come over later to wait for the results together. The family needs to prepare more dishes. She and Aunt Yao took inventory and prepared to go shopping.
The two were thinking about what to buy when Lan Shuqing appeared at the kitchen door, took Li Liyue's arm, and asked with a smile, "Mom, Aunt Yao, what are you doing?"
Li Liyue was startled. After she came to her senses, she glared at Lan Shuqing and asked, "How come you're walking without making any sound?"
Lan Shu chuckled and called out coquettishly, "Mom~"
Aunt Yao lowered her head and smiled. The young lady was still so lively. Li Liyue didn't really want to criticize her. She continued, "I'm looking at the menu with Aunt Yao. It's perfect. Do you want to eat anything?"
Lan Shu shook his head slightly, "No, Mom, it's up to you to decide."
"Okay," Li Liyue looked at Aunt Yao, "That's all. Aunt Yao, pack up and let's go out."
Lan Shu gently pulled Li Liyue, "Mom, I'll go with you."
Li Liyue glanced at her and said, "Okay, go and help us carry the vegetables." It was rare for Lan Shuqing to suggest going out together, so of course she had to seize the opportunity. Li Liyue glanced at Lan Shuqing again and saw that she looked normal. She had a strange feeling for some reason. Li Liyue attributed it to the fact that after the college entrance examination, Lan Shuqing was no longer so stressed out about studying.
It's the same as before, which is a good thing.
Jiang Bai searched the website of No. 3 Middle School. Photos of the new year's graduates were clearly posted on the website, and Lan Shuqing was among them.
A few days later, the college entrance examination results were released. Lan Shuqing's grades had always been good, and Jiang Bai also wanted to know how many points she had scored. She still had Lan Shuqing's ID number in her phone, but she didn't have her admission ticket number, so she couldn't find it.
But Jiang Bai also knew it.
Because Lan Shuqing ranked second in the city with over 700 points, even the website of No. 3 Middle School had a photo of Lan Shuqing posted on it, and there were also interviews with local media. Lan Shuqing looked very beautiful, graceful, well-organized, and still had the bright charm of a young girl. She was very likable, and the interview was full of praise.
Occasionally there were a few greasy comments, and Jiang Baiquan clicked to report them.
With Lan Shuqing's grades, he can definitely go to Peking University, so Jiang Bai is no longer worried.
She finally looked at the photo of Lan Shuqing hanging on the homepage of No. 3 Middle School and was slightly distracted.
The blue book is light, wishing you a bright future and no worries.
Friday morning is the last day to submit application forms for the headquarters competition.
Around ten o'clock, Jiang Bai sent a message to Zhu Ci, saying that he wanted to chat. Zhenghe Group is a relatively humane company. Employees can directly discuss any issues with their leaders. Zhu Ci will also talk to Jiang Bai and others from time to time, so Jiang Bai does not feel particularly stressed.
After telling Zhu Ci, he was obviously surprised, "You want to apply for the position?"
Jiang Bai nodded. This was the result of her thinking for almost a week.
Zhu Ci was only a few years older than Jiang Bai. She also knew that Jiang Bai was alone now, and she was a girl. Apart from her boss, she expressed her personal concerns, "So you're going to Beijing alone? Aren't you afraid?"
Jiang Bai thought for a moment and said, "Probably, but I want to go."
Zhu Ci was silent for a moment. Jiang Bai was a subordinate with strong execution ability. Once such a person made up his mind about something, he would do it with all his might. So she did not continue to persuade him. "Okay."
But Zhu Ci still said, "If you need any help, please let me know."
Jiang Bai smiled, "Thank you, Sister Zhu."
