Chapter 63: Injured
After that day, Jiang Bai quickly received an offer from the other company, so she officially submitted her resignation. The standard handover period was one month, and she was expected to start work in early January. But because of the handover period, near the end of the year, Jiang Bai finally felt a little relieved.
So Jiang Bai began to plan something big.
December 31st happened to be a Friday, and it was also Lan Shuqing’s last day of internship.
The work at hand had been handed over ahead of schedule. On Friday afternoon, Lan Shuqing ordered afternoon tea for the entire team. Lan Shuqing ordered food, Jiang Bai sponsored milk tea, and Lin Lidong also organized the department to hold a small farewell party for Lan Shuqing.
“I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future~”
Finally, Lin Lidong and Lan Shuqing were left alone in the conference room, and Lin Lidong said this.
Completing this internship was a big accomplishment for Lan Shuqing. He was happy and smiled. "Thank you, senior."
Lin Lidong looked at Lan Shuqing and suddenly asked, "Didn't you say last time that someone was pursuing you? How is it going now?"
This morning, Jiang Bai said he'd pick her up after get off work that afternoon. Someone has been very active lately, perhaps because things aren't so busy anymore. He's been sending her random messages every day. Lan Shu chuckled, "So far, so good."
Lin Lidong seemed very satisfied with the man. His eyes deepened. He extended his hand and said sincerely, "Then I wish you all the best."
Lan Shuqing returned the handshake graciously, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
After get off work, Lan Shu lightly carried a bag containing the last remaining work supplies, such as water cups, and went to the milk tea shop in the next shopping mall to wait for Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai was already on the way. She got off work half an hour early today.
Lan Shuqing sat by the window in the milk tea shop, replying to messages on his phone.
First of all, in the family group.
Li Liyue was discussing the next arrangements. She and Lan Zhaoting had already booked their flights and were expected to arrive in Beijing on the 2nd. She had asked Lan Shuqing to prepare for their reception. Lan Shuqing hadn't been back to City A for a long time, so the two of them were going to Beijing to see her. It happened to be New Year's Day, so they could have some fun.
Lan Shuqing said that he could receive them, but they had to arrange their own food, clothing, housing and transportation. Li Liyue said that was no problem, and that the couple would treat their trip to Beijing as a vacation, and she had already picked out several attractions in advance.
I haven't played any of them.
Then there is Xie Rong.
Xie Rong was in Hai City, which was very close to Jing City. She made an appointment with Lan Shuqing to go out and play in the next period of time. She originally wanted to make the date on New Year's Day, but Lan Shuqing had rejected her two days ago.
Lan Shuqing said it depends on the time.
Finally, there is Qiu Jinyue.
Because Lan Qi had to stay and look after the company, he complained to Qiu Jinyue about the unfairness. Qiu Jinyue then started to complain to Lan Shu, saying that a grown man was acting like a little girl.
Lan Shuqing expressed his understanding, saying that if it were Jiang Bai, he would also be very depressed.
Just as Lan Shuqing was typing, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Jiang Bai standing there, looking at her with a grin. The next second, he handed her a bouquet of sunflowers. "Lan Shuqing, this is for you."
The main color is sunflower, surrounded by a few orange tulips and white baby's breath, which is a very warm color.
Lan Shu chuckled. She put down her phone, took the bouquet, smelled it, and found it quite fragrant.
The heating was on in the mall. Jiang Bai was carrying a brown cross-body bag. She unzipped her white down jacket, revealing a black suit jacket and shirt underneath. She sat down opposite Lan Shuqing, holding her face with her hands and looking at Lan Shuqing.
Lan Shuqing raised his head to look at her, tilted his head slightly, and asked playfully, "Only flowers?"
Flowers go well with beauties. Lan Shuqing's delicate face looked even more beautiful against the backdrop of the bouquet, especially the smile in her eyes, which made Jiang Bai feel itchy. She smiled, took out her cell phone from her down jacket pocket, opened it and handed it to Lan Shuqing.
It's a screenshot of the activity.
"Lan Shuqing, let's go celebrate the New Year."
Although the Spring Festival is the real New Year's Eve for Chinese people, there are also many New Year's Eve activities to participate in on December 31st. New Year's Day is also the New Year. Especially this year is the first New Year's Eve together after the two reunited, Jiang Bai wants to spend it with Lan Shuqing.
This makes it easier for her to do her work.
Lan Shu raised his chin slightly and said, "Since you invited me, I will reluctantly agree."
Tsundere.
Jiang Bai smiled, she stood up, turned her right hand, and said, "Princess, please~"
Lan Shuqing also smiled while holding the bouquet.
Jiang Bai took the coat and handed it to Lan Shuqing. The girl was wearing light makeup, a white V-neck sweater, her hair was half tied up, and she wore a silver necklace. She looked very beautiful.
Lan Shuqing saw the concentration in Jiang Bai's eyes and hummed softly in her heart. She stood up, took the coat, and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Bai picked up Lan Shuqing's bag and said, "Hey."
The event venue is in a famous landscape park in Beijing. There is a nine-story tower in the park. In front of the tower is a large square and behind the tower is the Jin River. The whole area is brightly lit, the lake is sparkling, and the crowds are surging, making it very lively.
A drone and fireworks show had been arranged by the Jin River. It would start at eight o'clock and end in half an hour. Jiang Bai and Lan Shuqing took a taxi there, and when they arrived it was exactly seven forty.
The landscape park serves as a venue for performances and large-scale events, so many people come early to find seats. From the entrance to the square, the entire landscape park is bustling with people.
Jiang Bai and Lan Shuqing walked in the crowd. Jiang Bai was holding a bag in one hand and holding Lan Shuqing's hand with the other. Lan Shuqing was holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms.
Some curious passers-by looked at the two of them.
Lan Shuqing pushed the bouquet into Jiang Bai's arms and said, "Take it."
Jiang Bai tilted his head to look at her. The little girl was a little shy. She let go of Lan Shuqing, and while walking, she sorted out the things in Lan Shuqing's bag, making room on one side, put the flowers in it, and then held Lan Shuqing's hand again.
Clingy.
Lan Shuqing glanced at her, Jiang Bai just smiled at her, and Lan Shuqing let her go.
The two people walked slowly in the crowd and arrived at the square after about ten minutes.
The light from the tower was very bright, shining on the square. People around were looking at the tower and the sky with joy on their faces, or holding their children to greet the adults who were traveling with them, and some children were sitting on the shoulders of adults, looking in the direction of the tower.
The drone has taken off and the time has come to eight o'clock.
The square was very large and crowded. Jiang Bai held Lan Shuqing's hand tightly, and the two found a seat on the edge of the square, near the lawn. The view was not the best, but it was not bad, and this place was very suitable for what Jiang Bai was going to do next.
The four big words "Peace and Prosperity" appeared in the sky, and the drone and fireworks show officially began.
Jiang Bai put the bag aside. There was a bush next to them, so they weren't afraid of it being taken away. She held Lan Shuqing's hand, looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "Look, Lan Shuqing, you're so amazing~"
Lan Shu tilted her head slightly and saw Jiang Bai gazing at the constantly changing drones in the sky, his expression full of longing and yearning. She smiled and said, "So beautiful?"
Jiang Bai nodded, "Yeah!" She leaned closer to Lan Shuqing, "This is my first time watching a performance~"
The woman's tone was a little coquettish, and Lan Shu looked at her lightly, "You haven't seen it in the past few years?"
Jiang Bai shook his head and said, "No, it's so boring to be alone." He smiled at Lan Shu, looking very well-behaved.
Lan Shu snorted softly, "Then who do you want to watch it with?"
Jiang Bai immediately replied, "I just want to watch it with you!" Then he hugged Lan Shuqing's arms tighter.
Lan Shuqing poked Jiang Bai's waist with his right hand and said, "Keep your word."
“Hmm…”
Jiang Bai nodded hurriedly.
The yellow lights of the tower were cast, and the drones in the sky began a new round of changes. Jiang Baiwei looked up at Lan Shuqing, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. Seeing her like this, Lan Shuqing couldn't bear to look at her, so he glared at her.
But in the eyes of others, it looks more like coquettishness.
Others, such as Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai took advantage of the situation and put his arms around Lan Shuqing's waist, calling out, "Lan Shuqing~"
For some reason, the last syllable of her voice trembled when she shouted.
Lan Shu looked at her lightly, "Hmm?"
Jiang Bai fumbled in his pocket with his left hand, took out something and put it in Lan Shuqing's hand, while his right hand was still holding Lan Shuqing's waist.
Lan Shuqing subconsciously squeezed it and found it a little uncomfortable.
"Lan Shuqing~" Jiang Bai called her again in a low voice.
Lan Shuqing looked at her, a little confused, but she saw the uneasiness in Jiang Bai's eyes.
The fireworks in the sky exploded one after another, so gorgeous.
Jiang Bai was very nervous. She clutched Lan Shuqing's clothes tightly, not daring to pinch her waist. She looked at Lan Shuqing and spoke slowly but clearly, "Lan Shuqing, I've thought about this for a long time. I want to be with you forever, but I don't know what I can give you, so..."
The woman's eyes were bright, serious, and determined, as if a fire had rushed into Lan Shuqing's heart, making her whole body warm.
"I'll give you everything I have."
Bang!
Another row of fireworks exploded.
Lan Shuqing lowered her head to look at the things in her hand and laughed. She pinched the two cards between her fingers, her eyes full of smiles. "Bank card? ID card?"
Jiang Bai had been paying attention to Lan Shuqing's reaction. Seeing her smile and hearing her teasing made him even more nervous. He gritted his teeth and climbed up the ladder. "Anyway, I've given you all my wealth. You have to be responsible for me!"
Lan Shuqing ignored her flattery and instead raised two cards and asked, "Salary card?"
Jiang Bai nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
All her money was in it.
Lan Shu gently held two cards between his fingers, poked Jiang Bai's shoulder, and asked, "Have you made up your mind? Give them all to me?"
The bright light of the fireworks flashed, illuminating Lan Shuqing's face. Jiang Bai looked into Lan Shuqing's eyes, which were filled with great seriousness. She nodded, "Yes, all for you."
As long as Lan Shuqing wants, Jiang Bai can give her anything.
Jiang Bai is actually a person with little sense of security, and it is even worse when he came to Beijing alone. Lan Shuqing has always known that Jiang Bai is homesick, and Jiang Bai has kept the two-bedroom, one-living-room house very well.
Jiang Bai is also a very independent person. Lan Shuqing has never met her family and it seems that she can handle everything by herself.
In Lan Shuqing's eyes, money and other things are not that important.
But for Jiang Bai, it is very important. She has been working hard to save money and calculates her accounts every month to calculate how much money she has spent and how much money she has left.
It actually takes a lot of courage to take this step.
Lan Shuqing put the two cards in his pocket and raised his eyebrows. "Go back and give me the property deed as well."
Jiang Bai widened her eyes slightly, and then realized something. In that second, Jiang Bai thought of everything and nothing at the same time. She suddenly pounced on Lan Shuqing.
She buried her head in Lan Shuqing's shoulder, her eyes moist and hot, and then she couldn't help laughing.
"Blue Book Light~"
Jiang Bai's voice was muffled. Lan Shu gently hugged her back, holding the back of Jiang Bai's head with one hand, "Yeah."
Fireworks exploded in the sky, and everyone looked at the dazzling and beautiful view in the sky.
Only a few people noticed the two people hugging each other in the corner.
Jiang Bai hugged Lan Shuqing tightly with great strength, as if he would be unable to hold her in the next second.
Lan Shu laughed softly.
His chest vibrated with laughter. Jiang Bai raised his head and looked at Lan Shuqing, "Lan Shuqing~"
"Um?"
Jiang Bai suddenly felt uncertain. She asked, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Lan Shu chuckled and pinched her face, "What do you think?"
Jiang Bai smiled and said, "No."
Lan Shuqing also laughed.
Both of them were so focused on each other that they didn't notice Ye Ze's gloomy gaze and fierce expression three or two people away.
By the time Jiang Bai reacted, she had already subconsciously stood in front of Lan Shuqing.
The abdomen feels a little cold.
Lan Shuqing half-hugged her, his eyes still filled with confusion as if he hadn't reacted.
There were screams from the crowd.
Lan Shu glanced at Ye Ze, who was holding a knife and had blood on his hands in the crowd, then lowered his head. The hand that was supporting Jiang Bai suddenly became weak.
Jiang Bai looked up at Lan Shuqing and wanted to raise his hand to touch her face, but found that he had no strength.
"Jiang Bai!"
Lan Shuqing slid to the ground with Jiang Bai, and her hands began to tremble.
Jiang Bai's lips curved slightly, her eyes no longer as bright as before. She said with some effort: "Lan Shuqing, I'm fine, just a little... dizzy..."
As the last syllable fell, Jiang Bai fell into Lan Shuqing's arms.
Lan Shuqing's eyes trembled suddenly.
