The light was dim, and only the shadows of the sycamore trees in the yard next door swayed on the wall.

Jiang Fuli lowered his head slightly, and his final voice still had the usual coolness.

The breeze blew gently through the treetops, and occasionally the faint sounds of voices in the yard not far away could be heard from this point.

He gently took Bai Qian's hand and gave her a light hug.

His gaze passed over the ends of her black hair, the wooden hairpin shining slightly under the light, and her slender white neck, but this time he placed his chin on Bai Qian's shoulder.

Rub it lightly.

There is only the cool mint floating in the air, and the atmosphere is quiet but inexplicably restless.

"Okay," he let go, took a step back, looked at her for a while, his beautiful pale phoenix eyes slightly curved, "Good night."

yard.

Ji Heng was sitting on the stone table, drawing a design. Next to him, Jiang He was holding half an apple in one hand and puzzle pieces in the other, slowly assembling the puzzle.

The lights next to them stretched the silhouettes of the two people.

Bai Qian opened the door and came in. Her voice was calm: "Grandpa, I'm back."

She would say something to Ji Heng when she came back every day, and she would also say something to Ji Heng obediently when she went out. Ji Heng would wait for her no matter how late it was.

"There are still small dumplings in the rice cooker." Ji Heng lowered his head and looked at the paper for a long time before he made a stroke.

Bai Zian put her schoolbag in the room, filled a bowl of dumplings to eat, and took out her mobile phone.

News from Xu Wenyao: [I asked a friend to find a new question bank]

Xu Wenyao: [[Picture]]

They were all about biology and chemistry. Because of what Director Huang told him, he knew Bai Zian's weak courses very well, so it was not easy to find these materials.

Xu Wenyao: [Sent to your school? 】

Xu Wenyao had been to Xiangcheng and knew that Bai Qian was in Xiangcheng No. [-] Middle School.

Bai Qian: [I’ll have someone pick it up from you tomorrow]

Yan Lu's scenes in Xiangcheng have been filmed, and he will go to Jiangjing to shoot the last part, which should be completed in more than a month.

Xuechun and Xiaowu went to Jiangjing these two days, firstly to deliver a contract to Yan Lu, and secondly to explore the traditional Chinese medicine market in Jiangjing.

Now that Chinese medicine is in decline, Xiao Qi has great ambitions.

With that said, Bai Zian turned to Xuechun's WeChat account and asked her to go find Xu Wenyao tomorrow.

While she was eating the dumplings, she kept looking at her phone. Ji Heng looked at it for a while. He put down his pen, took out his cigarette rod, and said, "Don't study when you're eating, combine work and rest."

Bai Zian took a sip of the soup and raised his head, "Grandpa, what does wave-particle duality of light mean?"

Ji Heng: "..."

He lowered his head, pulled out a piece of the puzzle that Jiang He had just put together, and said seriously: "You spelled it wrong here."

With a mouthful of apple still in his mouth, Jiang He watched helplessly as Ji Heng pulled out a piece of the puzzle he had put together and then forced it into a place where it did not belong.

Jiang He: "..."

Saturday.

Xu Wenyao found Xu's free time.

On the road, I happened to meet Wang Dong who was rushing back from abroad. When Wang Dong saw Xu Wenyao, his face burst into laughter, "Wenyao."

"Director Wang." Xu Wenyao was very polite to him, but also very distant.

He entered the elevator directly, leaving Director Wang saying "poof" at the elevator door. He still had a business to discuss abroad and hurried back after hearing the news about Master Chen.

As a result, everyone in the Xu family remained silent about the matter, and even Mrs. Xu couldn't ask anything.

Ding--

The elevator door opened and a middle-aged woman came out.

"Hey, Mr. Wang," the woman followed behind her secretary, energetic and capable, "You are back from vacation. I will have a drink with you when I have time. I have to report to our old man."

Wang Dong's face was gloomy, and he naturally recognized that this woman was from the Ma family. He had robbed a case before, but he didn't expect that this wedding banquet would allow her to take advantage of it and get to know Shen Min.

He looked at the back of the middle-aged woman with a twisted smile. Who knew that Xu En's second marriage, to a person from nowhere, could actually invite Shen Min and the Chen family?
upstairs.

Xu Wenyao told Xu En about the situation in the school laboratory.

Ji Mulan followed Xu En. She studied design, but she was also trying to get close to the Xu family. Xu Wenyao said she could understand a little bit.

Outside the door, Mrs. Xu came in on crutches.

She knew that Xu Wenyao would come to the Xu family today, so she came directly to the door, "Wenyao, what's going on between you and Shuyun recently?"

"I made it clear to her," Xu Wenyao didn't want to mention this matter to Mrs. Xu. He pressed his eyebrows and stood up, "Grandma, I have to send college entrance examination materials to A's friend, so I'm going downstairs first."

He went straight out.

Xu En and Ji Mulan didn't talk. Ji Mulan couldn't care about Xu Wenyao's affairs. Xu En never restrained Xu Wenyao, which made Mrs. Xu very headache.

The Qi family is the most suitable one among the people she likes.

"Bai Qian is also taking the college entrance examination this year, right?" Old Mrs. Xu mentioned Bai Qian. She looked at Xu En, "I heard from the Qi family that they said they could borrow money from the affiliated middle school."

You can't just go to the affiliated middle school if you want to, and the Qi family would have to spend a lot of effort to send Bai Zian there.

Hearing what Mrs. Xu said, Ji Mulan clenched her hands and was very excited. She quickly looked at Xu En.

Xu En pondered for a moment, "Let me ask Aji."

Bai Qian had no class today, so the message was returned very quickly. Xu En was not surprised when he saw the answer, "Mom, please save the Qi family from trouble."

"She's not coming?" Mrs. Xu was very surprised.

However, she didn't care whether Bai Qian came or not, so she didn't ask any further and just looked at Xu En, "There are not many days left before the college entrance examination. Zhiyue, you two should be careful."

Xu Zhiyue is the old lady's hope, and her grades are even better than Xu Wenyao's.

"There must be some in the top three." Butler Xu spoke at the right time.

"Ancestors bless you," Mrs. Xu put down her crutches and clasped her hands together, "Try to be ranked second in the country."

Ji Mulan didn't know much about the affiliated middle school, so she smiled a lot more when she mentioned Xu Zhiyue: "What if I get the top prize in the exam?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu glanced at Ji Mulan, picked up the tea cup and took a sip without saying anything. "The top scorer in the national examination is not that easy to pass. The top scorer in Beicheng is only around 50 in the whole country. The second place is also a result that the Xu family has never achieved. The highest score in our Xu family is Master Wen Yao's No. 12 at that time." Butler Xu smiled, "This year's top pick will definitely be the Liang family. The Liang family is favored by 82% in the betting pool."

So is the No. [-] pick in Beicheng so worthless here?
And the Liang family?

Gambling pool?

What is this?Ji Mulan lowered her eyes, it was something she had never heard of again.

downstairs.

Xu Wenyao took his mobile phone, sent someone a location, and waited by the sidewalk.

He was wearing a long black woolen coat with a white sweater underneath. He had a gentle complexion, was tall and had long legs, and had a black scarf around his neck. His eyes were searching the crowd.

He has met Bai Qian's friends. Ning Xiao and Tang Ming both have the aura of academic masters, and this one should be the same.

Soon, a woman wearing black boots, leather pants, a tight-fitting sweatshirt, and a long cotton jacket appeared in her sight. The zipper was not closed. She held a cigarette between her snow-colored fingertips and had wavy hair. Flaming red lips are a kind of erosive beauty.

It is obviously a kind of flamboyant and bright beauty, but it makes people feel as if it will break apart at the slightest touch.

Next to her was a red-haired spiritual boy.

Xu Wenyao has not yet connected these two people with Bai Zian's friends.

Until the woman stopped in front of him, looked him up and down, then took out her phone to compare, and curled her lips at him, "A friend who wants to bring something to Miss Bai?"

Xu Wenyao glanced at her and then nodded: "Yes, Xu Wenyao."

He extended his hand for a polite handshake.

Xuechun looked at the Jiangjing University logo printed on his ziplock bag, then looked at his clean hands, smiled without raising his hand.

Beside her, Hong Mao quickly held Xu Wenyao's hand with both hands: "Master Xu, Master Xu, right? Hello, hello. Just give me my sister's things."

He took Bai Zian's things.

These two friends, Bai Zian, were really strange. Xu Wenyao watched the two of them leave.

"Thorn-"

A red sports car stopped in front of him. Qi Shuyun got out of the driver's seat and took off her sunglasses, "Xu Wenyao, are you breaking up with me just because of that woman?!"

Xu Wenyao came back to his senses and looked at Qi Shuyun, "Shuyun,"

Xiangcheng.

At noon, there were not many people in the coffee shop on the first floor of the library.

When Ming Dongheng came in, Bai Qian was lying on the table sleeping in a rare occasion. He walked softly and stood two meters away from the table, looking at Jiang Fuli hesitantly.

Jiang Fuli sat next to Bai Qian and looked down at her.

After seeing Ming Dongheng, he gently moved his chair and walked towards Ming Dongheng.

Ming Dongheng held his cell phone and tried to lower his voice as low as possible, "Master Xu has arrived in Beicheng. The housekeeper said that you should not go to the experimental base in the next few days."

Jiang Fuli stood by the door, looking in Bai Qian's direction.

From this angle, you can see her side face exposed on the outside, the coffee shop is on the inside, the light is not strong, her skin is too fair, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids.

It could be seen that she was not sleeping peacefully, and her eyebrows were furrowed tightly.

I wonder if she sleeps like this at night.

Jiang Fuli thought quietly.

"What kind of incense does Butler Jiang always use?" Jiang Fuli looked at Ming Dongheng.

Ming Dongheng: "...?"

The topic jumped too quickly. Jiang Fuli started a new topic before he could reply. Ming Dongheng raised his head blankly, "May I ask?"

"Yes." Jiang Fuli stood up straight and sat next to Bai Qian again.

Ming Dongheng looked at Bai Zian curiously. This was the first time he saw Bai Zian sleeping outside. Bai Zian looked lazy and didn't care about anything, but she strictly abided by these etiquette.

You must have been staring for too long.

Ming Dongheng felt a cold gaze. He raised his head suddenly and touched Jiang Fuli's light but extremely dangerous eyes. He reacted in a flash.

He turned around quickly and left as if running away.

Why is he staring at Miss Bai when he has nothing to do?
"Mr. Xiao Ming," Tang Ming just brought two cups of milk tea over. Seeing Ming Dongheng like this, he was confused, "You... do you need to call a doctor?"

Ming Dongheng wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said expressionlessly: "No need."

Tang Ming shrugged, and when he turned around, he imitated Ming Dongheng and said, "No need," and then whispered, "That's cool."

He went in and saw Bai Qian still sleeping, so he carefully placed two cups of milk tea next to Jiang Fuli.

Bai Qian was still sleeping. She had hardly had a good night's sleep since her father and brother died. Her dreams were filled with blood-stained hands crawling out of the yellow sand. In her dreams, she saw the dead faces of her father and brother, all alone and helpless. The Bai family army died on the battlefield...

Ever since she met Ji Mulan, the one she dreamed about most was her mother.

She tried to recreate these scenes over and over again in her dreams.

Ji Heng always felt that she was a young person with high energy and no need to sleep.

Bai Jian moved his hands and slowly opened his eyes. Jiang Fuli pressed his slender fingers on the book and looked down at her. His eyebrows were slightly twisted. His voice was a little low and he frowned: "Did I wake you up when I turned the book?"

Her eyes only blurred for a second before she regained consciousness. She sat upright with her hands on the table and rubbed her wrists leisurely, "No, I was in a light sleep."

Her voice was as lazy as ever.

Jiang Fuli tore open the plastic bag outside the milk tea straw with one hand, stuck the straw on the milk tea lid, and elegantly pushed the milk tea to Bai Xian's hand, "Sober up."

at the same time.

Qingshui Street, Ji Heng's courtyard, the door is open.

Ji Heng was drawing a picture, and next to him, a woman in her thirties was embroidering with her head down. The embroidery was the pattern and color of the skirt of the girls in Class [-]. The quantity was large. Ji Heng was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with the children's construction period, so he specially found Ms. Liu next door.

The door was knocked softly two or three times, "Hello."

When Ji Heng looked up, he saw two strangers standing at the door. He put down his pen and stood up, "Who are you looking for?"

The older man on the left raised his head and smiled, "Young Master, long time no see."
