The tea was steaming gently. Qin Bai took a sip, and the warm sensation flowed down his throat.
For him, all tea tasted the same; he just wanted to drink it while it was hot.
He hadn't received an answer to his question, and just as Wen was about to reply, Ling Xiangxue came out from inside after changing her clothes, interrupting their conversation.
"Qin Bai, take off your coat, I'll dry it for you."
"Okay, thank you."
Without any intention of refusing, he took it off and handed it to Ling Xiangxue.
The sound of the hairdryer accompanied the slow dripping of water from her hair.
A few minutes later.
Ling Xiangxue said apologetically, "It's not completely dry yet, let it air out for a while before wearing it."
"Hmm." Qin Bai pointed to the chair in front of him: "Sit down and let's talk."
Are you asking me why I didn't ask that man for anything in return?
"Because you are kind?"
Seeing the woman in front of him regain the gentleness in her eyes, Qin Bai subconsciously spoke the answer in his heart.
"No, because I know you don't record anything. If he finds out we know each other, it might be bad for you."
He hadn't expected this answer; it was rather novel.
Ling Xiangxue said to herself, "I've seen your live stream on my phone, it was very good."
"You're so popular right now, you can't let these little things hold you back."
"I knew how hard you'd been going through all this, so..."
Qin Bai smiled and said, "Hehe, you're quite considerate of me."
"No, it's just that I feel you've already received the script for your life, and shouldn't be affected by trivial matters."
"Oh? It's nothing?" Qin Bai suddenly leaned closer to her and looked carefully into her eyes.
Bright eyes and white teeth, gentle as water.
When their eyes met, Ling Xiangxue did not look away.
But as time went on, a hint of doubt and shyness appeared in her eyes.
The ratio of suspicion to genuine affection is slowly changing.
Qin Bai felt even more anxious, as he trusted his first impression of people.
Especially when he has a preconceived notion and sees through a person's true nature, Qin Bai always feels a sense of smug satisfaction.
See? I told you, this person is no good.
But now...
Qin Bai couldn't tell them apart.
He genuinely couldn't tell the difference.
All the coincidences were happening, but the events that unfolded in between didn't follow the script he had envisioned at all.
The constant switching between virtual and reality made Qin Bai feel like he was mentally ill.
A little person said, "Believe her, believe her. She's just like you, someone abandoned by the world."
Another petty person said, "What does it matter to you what she does?" No, why bother yourself? Just leave.
Qin Bai rubbed his throbbing temples.
He suddenly remembered what Luo Qingyan had said in the auditorium.
I'm really sick in the head; I'm not exactly a good person, but I'm not completely bad either.
At that moment, a few slightly cool fingers touched his head.
"You must have caught a chill from the cold wind. Let me rub it for you."
The gentle voice of the girl next door rang out behind him. He didn't know when, but Ling Xiangxue was already standing behind him.
Qin Bai tried to struggle to stand up, but was pushed back down.
"Don't move. If the wind and cold enter your body, you might suffer from long-term health problems when you get old."
A drop of cool water fell onto his neck, and Qin Bai's soul trembled.
The hands wandered over the temples, lacking the delicate and tender feel I had imagined.
You can feel the calluses from the friction, and the force is nothing like that of a young girl.
Qin Bai closed his eyes and began to enjoy the moment, his conflicted feelings gradually subsiding.
At least one thing he guessed was right.
Ling Xiangxue has had a tough time these past few years; she has truly experienced the hardships of life, something that cannot be faked.
"Oh my, I was wondering where Young Master Qin was. Turns out he was enjoying his first encounter on a rainy day here."
The aroma of green tea immediately filled the entire room, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and the fresh scent of earth—it couldn't be more perfect.
Qin Bai felt completely numb.
No way, is this some kind of coincidence with me?
It's only been a few minutes, I was just rubbing my head, and it was the same thing as above, how did I get caught red-handed?
I turned my head to look.
The woman before her had a stunningly beautiful face and a half-smile, causing Ling Xiangxue to unconsciously increase the pressure on her hands.
Qin Bai was in so much pain he almost jumped up.
no.
sisters.
Double critical hit! Ahh ...
Feng Chacha folded her umbrella and shook it forcefully a few times.
Raindrops danced in the air.
Swords flashing and shadows swirling.
Qin Bai shrank his neck, feeling that these blows were aimed at him.
"I think I came at the wrong time, otherwise... I'd like to go for a walk."
The understanding voice made the atmosphere in the room even more tense.
If Qin Bai didn't speak up at this moment, the umbrella in Feng Yaoyao's hand might really turn into a controlled knife.
"No, no, no, don't go! Let me introduce you, this is my friend."
Feng Yaoyao casually placed the umbrella by the door, watching the two people's postures with interest.
Qin Bai quickly took a step to the side, maintaining a relatively safe distance.
"Friends? Mr. Qin certainly has a wide circle of friends. I was only gone for a few minutes, and he's already brought out another one..."
"friend."
Qin Bai broke out in a cold sweat; it was clear that Feng Yaoyao had given him plenty of face.
