It was Cheng Jingbo who came. Before turning around, Bai Ziren had already guessed that the breath on his body was easy to identify.
After she stood up, she immediately clarified: "I'm not here to chase stars, I'm here with my classmates."
Reluctantly, the surrounding voices were overwhelming, he lowered his head: "What did you say?"
Bai Ziren wanted to point Zhu Mingwen to him, but the sea of people in front of him was like a cloud, and he couldn't tell who was who, so he stepped out of the crowd first, approached him and said: "There are too many people here, it's inconvenient to talk."
He smiled, and then took her out. The eyes of the rest of the people were focused on the stage, and they didn't notice any movement in the corner.
Arriving at a place slightly away from the hustle and bustle, Bai Ziren first told Cheng Jingbo why he was here, and then sent a text message to Zhu Mingwen, saying that he would go for a walk elsewhere first, and gather at the school gate after the end.
Knowing that she came with her classmates, Cheng Jingbo's eyes were filled with relief.
Seeing the smile in his eyes, Bai Ziren knew that he was happy for her to take a step forward, but what he thought in his heart was that if this wasn't the University of Finance and Economics, she wouldn't be interested in coming, so he looked at his clothes while thinking , very simple and introverted, no different from the usual him, but enough to be a teacher.
After watching it for a while, she asked him, "Are you also interested in watching campus games?"
"I was passing by, but I came over when I saw you on stage."
"Am I acting stupid on stage?"
"A little bit." He pretended to be thinking.
She was slightly embarrassed.
"However, the silly look is also pretty."
She met his lowered gaze, because it happened to be under the sun, his eyes were half-lit and half-dark, and she couldn't see any emotion, and she couldn't guess whether his words were sincere, but in the end, they were good words, She was moved naturally.
"I don't have class now, do you want to take a stroll around the campus?"
"Aren't you afraid of being seen by the students?"
"They are all busy watching the show in the stands, no one will pay attention to me."
So, they walked along a campus path, wandered around several places leisurely, passed by retro buildings, libraries and playgrounds, and gradually headed towards the quiet flower garden. Along the way, there were very few students, and a few of them recognized Cheng Jingbo's eyes widened silently, and the bravest one was just to say hello, not daring to make fun of him.
"Are you very popular with students at school?"
"Probably not. I'm more serious about them. The students tend to be humorous and cheerful teachers."
"Will you receive gifts during the festival?"
"There were a lot in the first year, but they were not allowed to give them away in the second year." He said slowly, "I don't like them spending their minds on it, and I don't lack anything, so why waste money."
Bai Ziren heard a little overtones.
"You think I'm unreasonable?" He pushed open the small wooden door of the flower garden with one hand, indicating that she could go in.
Bai Ziren walked forward cautiously on a dirt road, not forgetting to turn his head and talk to him: "You must have your reasons for doing this, I believe you are a very responsible teacher."
A male teacher who looks like him, if he doesn't set some rules, he won't be able to receive all the gifts every day. She remembered that there was a teacher who taught advanced mathematics in college. He was pursued by a bunch of female students, but he was a good-tempered person who couldn't bear to talk harshly, and ended up being very annoying. When the news of the marriage was announced, a female student who was obsessed with him decided to drop out of school because he couldn't accept it. The school was alarmed, and the joke was great.
There is also a young and beautiful female teacher who is pursued by a male student who admires her. She eats instant noodles every day and saves money for several months just to afford an expensive bracelet for her. After being rejected, her self-esteem is damaged and she does not come to class. On the Internet, stay depressed in the Internet cafe.
Men and women of this age are prone to emotions. As an elder who teaches, if you don't keep a distance from them, you will easily get into trouble. His approach is wise, and she agrees.
Soon, Bai Ziren withdrew his extended thoughts, squatted down in front of a lush green plant, and studied them intently. When he saw a cluster of round, short purple leaves, he asked, "What is that?"
"Purple, the flowering period is until September, and it is withered now." He came to her side and watched all kinds of flowers and plants with her.
"It's a pity, if it's spring, there must be a lot of flowers here."
"There are also winter flowers, you can look for them."
He went to the corner, found a bunch of flowers hidden in a ceramic vase, and asked her to come and see.
She walked over and saw that the very small flower, with five leaves in total, unfolded clearly in the breeze, and the color was very light blue, which looked very fresh.
"This is the blue snowflake, which blooms in winter."
Just as she stretched out her hand to touch the petal lightly, a black bug appeared in her sight, cunningly bit the back of her hand and flew away. After a slight sting, a red envelope appeared on the back of her hand, she asked suspiciously : "Is this bug poisonous?"
"This is an ordinary bug. It will be fine after going out and washing it."
It happened that there was a drainage pool outside the flower garden. He took her there to clean it, turned on the faucet to the maximum, held her wrist, followed the direction of the water flow, lowered his head to help her wash the wound, and carefully wiped the soap and sterilized it carefully. She didn't move at all, and let him hold her hand all the time, like a teacher treating a naughty and restless student who accidentally hurt her.
After finally cleaning, he turned off the tap, took the tissue box in the corner and handed it to her, and wiped his hands clean by the way.
When she was wiping her hands, the ponytail behind the hat of the down jacket brushed against his shoulders, and hung down directly, blocking her view, and he put her ponytail back in place.
Such an inadvertent move made her move sluggishly.
It seemed to be a move between very close people, but he did it very naturally.
When he was about to go out, Bai Ziren realized that there were more than the two of them in this world. There was also a very quiet female student with short hair reaching the ears and clean clothes who had been staying at the gate of the flower garden for an unknown amount of time.
"Mr. Cheng, hello." The female student greeted with a smile.
Cheng Jingbo replied hello, then patted Bai Ziren on the shoulder: "Let's go."
When passing by the female student, Bai Ziren noticed the other party's quietly scrutinizing eyes.
Walking out of the flower garden for a while, Bai Ziren asked involuntarily: "I seem to have been bumped into by your student just now, is it important?"
Cheng Jingbo slowed down and asked casually, "What do you think I was bumped into?"
"Well, it seems to be nothing." He just stood beside her and pulled her ponytail.
"I have the right to make friends, there is no need to hide from anyone."
His addition made Bai Ziren a little surprised. He originally thought that he really didn't take anything to heart, but now he faintly began to doubt whether that was the case.
Soon he came to the school convenience store, which was really crowded. Cheng Jingbo told Bai Ziren to wait a while, he went in to buy something, and came out after a while with an extra bag of salted peanuts, which was bought for her food.
He gave her the snacks in public, completely ignoring the strange gazes around her, and she already felt that she had received a bunch of dense arrowheads behind her, and even a voice came from her ear: "Who is she? Is she a relative of Teacher Cheng? "
It happened that the phone rang, and it was Zhu Mingwen's call. Bai Ziren picked it up, and knowing that she was already at the school gate, he promised to rush over immediately.
"I'll take you to the door." Cheng Jingbo said.
On this road leading to the school gate, more and more students deliberately came to look around. Bai Ziren was very embarrassed. He planned to take the opportunity to chat with him about books, but it seemed that there was really no way. Now it was too late to hide from others. Not to mention communicating calmly, she has never been used to being the focus of everyone, so she had to lower her head slightly at this moment and focus on the tip of her shoe.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Jingbo acted as if no one was around, and talked about other things in a leisurely manner: "Do you like their dress like that?"
It was only then that Bai Ziren realized a phenomenon. On the campus in the winter, many female students coming and going wore woolen skirts in different colors. Looking at himself, the jeans that hadn’t changed for a hundred years looked really monotonous.
"You mean the skirt?" she tried.
"Yes, I'm wondering what you would look like in a different dress." He continued with a smile, "Besides, girls should be very happy wearing skirts."
"Who said this?"
"I said."
"… Oh."
She thought maybe she could try his suggestion, although she couldn't remember the last time she wore a skirt, it seemed that she was in kindergarten, and she was wearing a tutu skirt for children, and she was really happy at that time.
What he said made sense, she should really try to change her dressing style, or her unchanging life style.
A few meters away from the door, Cheng Jingbo stopped and said to her, "Today is the most relaxing day I've had in a while."
"It's just a pity that I haven't had time to talk to you about books."
"The book can be discussed next time, it's not important." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to smooth the tuft of blown hair on top of her head, "Be careful on the road, if it's convenient, send me a text message when you get back to the dormitory. I'm leaving."
Bai Ziren stayed where he was, almost petrified, and it took him a long time to remember what he had done to her just now.
Zhu Mingwen waited at the door for a long time before he saw Bai Ziren approaching and asked her where she had been.
"I wandered around the campus casually."
"Are you cold? It looks like your face is red from the cold."
Bai Ziren was speechless, she wouldn't say that her soles were very hot, her back was sweating, and her whole body was already a fireball that was about to ignite.
When the two got on the bus, Bai Ziren suddenly asked Zhu Mingwen where he could buy Lan Xuehua.
"Blue snowflake? I haven't heard of it, but you can search the online flower market. There are seeds and flowers, and some are even potted. It's easy to buy and grow."
In the next two days, Bai Ziren bought a small pot of blue snowflakes on the Internet. After getting it, she found that the plastic pot was very simple, and the petals were curled up, which was not healthy. She went to a small shop near the school to buy it. The flower pots, fertilizers, nutrient solution and tools for shoveling the soil, after some trimming, the flowers were successfully planted in the window.
Soon, Senior Sister Zhao, who came to check the hygiene of the dormitory, looked at her with admiration: "Xiaobai, your room finally looks like a little girl, so it's good, it always looks very cold in blue, gray and black, wait a minute... Am I right? Are you wearing a skirt? It really looks good!"
