Chapter 61
After Monday, Jiang Bai prepared to go to the client company for on-site work.
Although the distance was far, Jiang Bai became full of energy whenever she thought of Lan Shuqing. In addition, she was a bit of a workaholic herself, so everything went smoothly.
This week, Jiang Bai had no chance to find Lan Shuqing because he had a lot of things to do at the beginning.
The contract was signed the next week and things went on in an orderly manner. Jiang Bai finally had time on the weekend, and time had almost forwarded to early December.
On Friday, Fu Xiaoqian called Lan Shuqing and invited her to go out on Saturday to a barbecue party at a party hall. There were three other girls, two from her dormitory, one from the next class who she got along well with, and finally their respective boyfriends.
They haven't gotten together since their senior year started.
Lan Shuqing thought about it and agreed, then told Fu Xiaoqian that she would bring someone else with her.
Fu Xiaoqian perked up when she heard that. "Male or female?"
Is the thousand-year-old iron tree in their department finally going to bloom?
Lan Shuqing was helpless, "A woman, the sister you met last time."
Oh, not a man.
Well, Fu Xiaoqian recalled that she seemed to be a fair and clean sister.
"Okay, then we'll meet at the party venue at 12 noon. You should prepare snacks this time."
When Lan Shuqing was video chatting with Jiang Bai in the evening, he mentioned this matter.
Now the two of them have to video call each other every night. Jiang Bai is a bit clingy. They say good morning in the morning and good night via video call in the evening. No matter how late it is, Jiang Bai will say good night to Lan Shu.
"Will I come with you?"
Jiang Bai was a little surprised.
Lan Shu nodded slightly, "Well, go buy some snacks tomorrow and then come over. We'll meet there."
"Okay," Jiang Bai said, lying on the bed, holding up his phone, "What do you want to eat?"
Lan Shu thought for a moment and said, "Just buy some, and I'll have some delivered when the time comes."
Jiang Bai agreed, "Okay~"
Lan Shuqing lay on the bed and asked, "Do you have to work overtime next week?"
Jiang Bai smiled and shook his head, "No need, I've already finished the preliminary work this week."
"Who's going tomorrow?"
Lan Shu chuckled, "What? Are you nervous?"
Jiang Bai smoothed his hair and said, "I am a little nervous."
Lan Shuqing still smiled, "Fu Xiaoqian, my roommate, whom you have met before. There are three other friends. I will introduce them to you later."
Jiang Bai thought for a moment, "Are they all girls?"
Why are you asking the same question as Fu Xiaoqian?
However, Lan Shuqing started to tease him, "Guess?"
Jiang Bai exclaimed, "Ah!" She thought of something and straightened up, "Will they bring their boyfriends along?"
"Are there any other boys?"
Lan Shu looked down at her nervous look and supported his chin. "You'll know when the time comes. Why are you so curious?"
Jiang Bai held the phone. She was afraid of having a love rival, as Lan Shuqing was so outstanding.
"Anyway, I'll follow you tomorrow."
Lan Shu chuckled, "Okay, little follower."
The next day, Jiang Bai got up early in the morning and went to a nearby supermarket to buy snacks. He bought a little of everything and filled two big bags. He then took photos and sent them to Lan Shuqing.
It was a little early, and Lan Shuqing had just gotten up and packed when he saw Jiang Bai's message.
Q version of the little man: So early? Have you had breakfast?
Pure white avatar: Eat it~ Remember to eat it too~
Q version villain: OK
Pure white avatar: I'm ready to go~
Q version man: Okay, be careful on the road.
Pure white avatar: You too~
Everything in the party hall has been prepared in advance, and Lan Shuqing and his group just need to go there. In addition, the party hall also provides free fruits, snacks and play areas.
Fu Xiaoqian's plan is to have a barbecue at noon, then play games, and then continue barbecuing. There is also an open-air music bar on the rooftop where you can sing, so there is no shortage of fun.
Every time they go out to play in the dormitory, they take turns preparing things, such as the venue, activities and snacks.
This time, Fu Xiaoqian was in charge of the venue, another girl was responsible for arranging the entertainment activities, and Lan Shuqing was responsible for snacks.
Fu Xiaoqian and another girl arrived early to check out the venue and attractions, and then other people in the small group also sent messages saying they had arrived.
Jiang Bai arrived half an hour early, but she didn't dare go upstairs or stand directly at the door. It would be so embarrassing if someone saw her, so she waited for Lan Shuqing under the shade of a tree thirty meters away from the downstairs gate of the party hall.
The party hall is located in a very famous commercial district in the west of Beijing. There is a large square in front of the commercial district. When Lan Shuqing got off the car, she didn't see any acquaintances. She opened WeChat, took another look at the photo Jiang Bai sent her, and then looked up.
"Blue Book Light!"
Jiang Bai walked over from the left side of the square, carrying a bag in one hand, wearing a light green down jacket, blue tapered jeans, and a small shoulder bag on her back. Her hair was tied up high, swaying as she walked.
Lan Shu turned off his phone, walked over to her, and took the bag from her hand. "Why did you walk so far to wait?"
Not at the front door.
Jiang Bai held the bag in his left hand and held Lan Shuqing's hand with his right hand. "I'm afraid of meeting acquaintances."
Lan Shu pinched her lightly and said, "I never saw you so timid before when we were at Jingda University."
Jiang Bai smiled and leaned next to her, "Let's go upstairs."
Lan Shu glanced at her lightly, then held Jiang Bai's hand with his backhand, "Yeah."
The two walked in through the main door and took the elevator upstairs.
The party hall was on the 18th floor. After the two went up, they saw the sign as soon as they got out of the elevator. They followed the signs and soon arrived at the door of the party hall.
Fu Xiaoqian was standing at the door. Seeing the two of them approaching, she immediately went to greet them. She said in a cheerful tone, "Shuqing~" She looked Lan Shuqing up and down, "You look very good today~"
Lan Shuqing was wearing a camel coat, straight trousers, a V-neck cotton long-sleeved shirt, and a silver necklace today, revealing her delicate collarbone. Her long hair was half tied up with a headband. She looked tall and straight, and very beautiful. She smiled as she listened to Fu Xiaoqian's words.
Fu Xiaoqian looked at Jiang Bai again and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, sister~"
Jiang Bai nodded and smiled, "Just call me Jiang Bai."
Lan Shu glanced at her lightly, and someone was no longer afraid.
"Jiang Bai," Fu Xiaoqian agreed. She smiled and said, "The last time we met was at Peking University. I didn't expect to see you again." She nudged Lan Shuqing and whispered, "Have you made up?"
Lan Shu rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't be so gossipy."
Fu Xiaoqian snorted, smiled at Jiang Bai, and said to Lan Shuqing, "Let's go in first. Guan Ge and the others are already here."
Guan Ge is another girl in their dormitory.
The two followed Fu Xiaoqian in. There was a hall right at the entrance. Inside the hall was a pool table and a TV room. Two unfamiliar boys were playing billiards.
Jiang Bai withdrew his gaze and followed Fu Xiaoqian to the right with Lan Shuqing. There were three rooms on each side. If they continued walking forward, they would reach the spacious restaurant with a whole wall of glass windows, through which they could see the scenery outside.
There was a faint aroma of barbecue.
Fu Xiaoqian led the two of them to a table with seven or eight people on the right.
The others saw them and waved, "Here."
Fu Xiaoqian, Fu Xiaoqian's boyfriend.
Li Dandan, Li Dandan’s boyfriend.
Guan Ge.
Yang You, Yang You’s boyfriend.
Including Lan Shuqing and Jiang Bai, there were nine people in total. Lan Shuqing, Fu Xiaoqian, Li Dandan, and Guan Ge were from the same dormitory. Yang You was a girl from the next class whom Fu Xiaoqian knew. They often attended open classes together, so they got along well. So, they were invited to join them this time.
After a brief greeting, the three of them sat down.
Lan Shuqing and Jiang Bai sat together, with Fu Xiaoqian on Lan Shuqing's right and Jiang Bai on his left. Passing Jiang Bai was Guan Ge, then Li Dandan, and then Li Dandan's boyfriend, and so on.
Except for Fu Xiaoqian's boyfriend, whom she met for the first time, Fu Xiaoqian had met the other three boys before. Fu Xiaoqian's boyfriend was from the school next door. Fu Xiaoqian met him at a previous competition. He was also a top student.
After they sat down, Fu Xiaoqian introduced her boyfriend to Lan Shuqing and Jiang Bai. Lan Shuqing also introduced Jiang Bai, but with just five words, "Jiang Bai, my friend."
After the introduction, Fu Xiaoqian asked everyone to start grilling. The others understood and didn't ask any more questions.
The dishes are ordered in advance and can be grilled immediately.
Jiang Bai and Lan Shuqing both took off their coats and put them aside. Lan Shuqing rolled up her sleeves again, and the lucky beads on her left wrist looked very beautiful. Fu Xiaoqian couldn't help laughing when she saw her like this.
Lan Shu tilted his head and glanced at Fu Xiaoqian. "What?"
Fu Xiaoqian suppressed a smile and shook her head, "Nothing."
Everyone started barbecuing. During the meal, Fu Xiaoqian and Li Dandan kept chatting, along with Yang You, and occasionally Lan Shu. They asked about each other's recent situation and then shared gossip about classmates, the next class, the next class, or the next class, or the internship company.
In contrast, Jiang Bai was a little silent. She was concentrating on grilling the meat for Lan Shu and adding drinks. Fu Xiaoqian saw this and poked her boyfriend, "Learn from that."
Fu Xiaoqian's boyfriend was a little confused. He glanced at the men present and it was nothing special.
Guan Ge next to Jiang Bai also seemed to be a lonely person and only spoke when Fu Xiaoqian called her.
Jiang Bai didn't notice that Guan Ge's eyes fell on her and Lan Shuqing from time to time.
After finishing their meal, they moved into the party room to play games.
At this time, the snacks Jiang Bai brought came in handy. There were melon seeds, konjac jelly, beef cubes, potato chips, chicken feet, duck feet... There was a large table in the party room. Except for the entrance, there were soft sofas on three sides. Nine people stood in a circle, and small bags of snacks were scattered all over the table.
When others saw it, they all gave thumbs up, especially Li Dandan, who loved snacks. She gave Lan Shuqing a thumbs up and said, "Shuqing, awesome!"
Lan Shu chuckled, "This is what Jiang Bai bought. I'll have it delivered to you later."
Yang You's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Shu Qing, did you order anything else?"
The girls present all knew that Lan Shuqing came from a wealthy family, but she was usually very low-key. Whether she was eating or attending activities, she would always join everyone. The only difference was what she used and wore.
However, Lan Shuqing would occasionally treat them, and thanks to her, Fu Xiaoqian and her friends had eaten in big restaurants several times.
When Yang You heard Lan Shuqing ordered something else, he suddenly became curious and asked.
Lan Shu nodded slightly, "Yeah, I ordered some fruit and cake."
Yang You winked at her and said, "Then it's all thanks to you, Miss."
"Okay," Fu Xiaoqian stepped forward, "Let's all sit down and start playing games." She looked at Li Dandan, "Dandan, what are we going to play today?"
Li Dandan was the girl in charge of the amusement activities this time. She took out several toys that she had already selected from the sofa and placed them on the table. "Pick one!"
