“It’s not the first time I’ve quarreled with him. If I get angry every time, wouldn’t I die of rage?” Su Luo smiled faintly and reached out to pat Xu Jiaojiao’s little head. “Right now, the most important thing for you is to chase after Qi Shenbai. You don’t have to worry about me.”
At the mention of Qi Shenbai, Xu Jiaojiao looked distressed. She still had no idea how to woo Qi Shenbai…
“I have a good idea.” Su Luo’s eyes lit up. “I remember that Christmas is coming…”
“That won’t do.” Xu Jiaojiao looked troubled. “It’s too embarrassing.”
“What’s there to be embarrassed about? So long as you do as I say, I guarantee that you’ll be able to win that handsome man!” Su Luo’s gaze was firm, and she seemed to really have full confidence.
“Really? No, let me think about it,” Xu Jiaojiao said after some thought.
After a long time, Xu Jiaojiao still had no clue what to do. Coincidentally, the teacher sent the class a message.
The notice said that the faculty would take the students out to an ancient town for sketching on the weekend. The duration was tentatively set at three days. Once the day came, the school would rent a minibus to take them there.
The old town was not as warm as the city, and it was a little cold at night, so Xu Jiaojiao brought some warm clothes.
Just as Xu Jiaojiao was leaving the house with her luggage—
“Jiaojiao…”
Qi Shenbai’s voice came from behind.
Xu Jiaojiao turned around and saw him walking over slowly. Was he here to send her off? She did not know when Qi Shenbai had changed the way he addressed her to ‘Jiaojiao’.
“Why are you here?” Xu Jiao jiao was pleasantly surprised.
“I heard from Cang Xing that it’s a little cold in the ancient town. Put this on.” After saying that, Qi Shenbai took out a white velvet hat from behind and put it on her head.
Xu Jiaojiao was a little stunned. She wanted to look up and see Qi Shenbai’s face clearly, but most of it was covered by the white woolen hat.
Qi Shenbai’s movements were very light as he tidied up the hat and then wrapped a scarf around her neck. After he was done, all he could see of Xu Jiaojiao was her pair of lively eyes, curved into crescents.
“Be careful out there. Call me if anything happens,” Qi Shenbai reminded her carefully.
“Okay.” Xu Jiaojiao nodded. Her rosy face was full of smiles as she looked at Qi Shenbai.
“There’s air conditioning in the car. There are many people on board, so it might be a little hot. If it’s hot, remember to put away your hat and scarf,” Qi Shenbai continued, seemingly worried.
“I know, I’m not a three-year-old kid anymore.” Xu Jiaojiao playfully stuck out her tongue.
“Go ahead. I’ll wait for you to come back.”
“Okay, bye-bye.” Xu Jiaojiao nodded and waved Qi Shenbai goodbye.
“Bye-bye.” Qi Shenbai nodded.
Xu Jiaojiao opened the car door and got in. As if she had thought of something, her figure stopped on the stairs. She turned around to look at Qi Shenbai and then at Cang Xing.
“When I come back, I’ll definitely pursue you properly!”
There was a hint of hope and excitement in her voice. Qi Shenbai smiled slightly. Was she afraid that he would go back on his word?
“Okay.”
Xu Jiaojiao fled into the car.
The car window was covered with an anti-phosphorescence film, so he should not be able to look inside.
However, Qi Shenbai seemed to see Xu Jiaojiao. He stared into the car and saw Xu Jiaojiao’s shy expression.
Cang Xing walked over. Qi Shenbai said, “Take good care of her.”
Before dark, the car finally stopped outside the ancient town.
The town was not that famous, and it was not the peak season, so there were not many tourists.
Their teacher, Mr. Sun led the students into a small hotel. The conditions were a little backward, but fortunately, there was no problem with the water and electricity supply. The room was not big, but since they would only be staying for a few days, no one objected.
The room arrangements were decided by drawing lots, and Xu Jiaojiao happened to draw a room for one person.
“It’s not safe to live alone. Do you want to change to a three-person room and live with your classmates?” The teacher was a little worried.
“It’s fine, sir. I’m used to living alone. Besides, 1 sleep lightly, so I sleep better alone,” Xu Jiaojiao explained.
Seeing this, Mr. Sun did not say anything else. He knew that Xu Jiao jiao was a quiet girl, so she was not used to living with others.
After that, he gave a few more instructions about safety before leaving.
Xu Jiaojiao placed her luggage in the assigned room and went downstairs to get ready for dinner.
They had spent almost the entire day in the car, so everyone was feeling a little worn out. After eating, they quickly returned to their rooms to rest.
As soon as she returned to her room, Xu Jiaojiao’s phone started vibrating. She opened it and saw the words “Great Philanthropist Qi” on the screen.
Xu Jiaojiao smiled and picked up the phone.
“Are you there yet?”
“Yeah, I’m already here. 1 just finished eating, and now I’m back in my room,” Xu Jiaojiao replied. She sat by the bed. The sky outside the window had already turned completely dark, and her heart felt a little empty. She could not help but want to see him..
