Chi Jia noticed that Bai Qing seemed to have returned to normal recently. She no longer sat in her seat in a daze from time to time.
Of course, probably because of her mother's disappearance, the innocent smile on her face had disappeared. She seemed to have become more mature and intellectual, which led to more boys confessing to her. Not only from her own class, but also from other classes as well.
However, Bai Qing rejected all of them, saying that she wanted to focus on her studies.
Chi Jia breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, at least Bai Qing seemed to have walked out of the shadow of that boy.
It was strange to say that although Zhang Heng was not invisible in the class, he was not considered a celebrity either. He was good at his studies, and his sports scores were above average. It was said that his parents and grandfather were intellectuals, so he had a good temperament. Other than that, he did not seem to have any other specialties. He was polite to everyone, but at the same time, he kept his distance.
Some girls in the class would secretly like such a boy, but logically speaking, he should not be able to move Bai Qing's heart. Besides, the two did not have much interaction before. It was not until they became deskmates that they gradually became friends. However, that was all.
Chi Jia could not figure out how the relationship between the two quickly warmed up. When she came to her senses, she found that her good friend seemed to have fallen in love with Zhang Heng.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Terrible changes happened to Bai Qing's family. The news said that her father killed her mother. After that, Bai Qing was suspended from school for a period of time. Chi Jia did not know how Bai Qing survived the most difficult time. Fortunately, Bai Qing's father was later acquitted, and her mother's death was changed to missing.
Immediately after that, Zhang Heng was arrested by the police for illegal possession of guns and ammunition, driving without a license, hitting someone on the street, and suspected homicide.
Chi Jia felt that life had never been so ridiculous. Zhang Heng was a high school student, and he usually looked gentle. How could he be related to these horrible crimes? And what surprised everyone even more was that the police had not been able to catch Zhang Heng until now.
No, that's not right. Perhaps there was one person who wasn't surprised by this, and that was Bai Qing. She told Chi Jia that Zhang Heng's true identity was actually a superhero. After saving the world, he quietly left.
Chi Jia agreed, but she only felt a little distressed. She felt that too many things had happened to Bai Qing recently, causing the girl's spirit to be a little overwhelmed. She could only choose to numb herself with such a lie.
Although Chi Jia usually had a sharp tongue, under her careless appearance, she was actually a sensitive and delicate person. So, she did not refute Bai Qing's words. Instead, she played along with Bai Qing's words and helped her make up a beautiful lie.
However, after Zhang Heng was arrested, Bai Qing did feel depressed for a period of time. It was not until three months later that she cheered up.
Chi Jia was also a little confused about this. She did not know how Bai Qing untied the knot in her heart, but in any case, it was a good thing.
In order to celebrate Bai Qing's recovery, Chi Jia even invited Bai Qing to go karaoke with her. However, Bai Qing kept saying that she couldn't spare the time. When winter vacation came, Bai Qing couldn't find any other excuses. Under Chi Jia's pressure, she had to give up her life in the library and at home.
The two agreed to meet at the mall. They planned to go shopping for a while and have lunch to gather enough energy before going to the karaoke. Bai Qing arrived two minutes earlier than Chi Jia. She was wearing a thick down jacket and a red knitted hat that covered both of her ears.
However, after entering the heated mall, the howling cold wind outside stopped. Bai Qing took off the hat on her head and shook off the snowflakes on it. Then, she was slightly stunned.
Because she saw the KFC on the right, and then she remembered the first time she went on a date with someone here.
It was not accurate to say that it was a date. Initially, that person wanted to borrow her homework, and the two agreed to meet here. Later, to thank her, the person invited her to eat here. However, Bai Qing later found out that the guy who claimed to treat her didn't bring enough money with him.
She found it a little funny, but she still took advantage of the time when the guy went out to make a phone call and paid for the meal. In order to avoid embarrassment, she pretended not to know what the guy was going out to do. After that, the two chatted while eating fast food to kill time.
Only then did Bai Qing realize that she had a pleasant conversation with this usually quiet and unsociable boy.
"What's wrong? Didn't you have breakfast? It's only ten o 'clock now. Are you hungry so early?"
Chi Jia's voice pulled Bai Qing back from her memories.
"Oh, no. I just want to eat somewhere else at noon."
"Don't worry about this kind of thing. Today, I will arrange everything for you," Chi Jia patted her chest and promised.
"Really? Okay." Bai Qing retracted her gaze from the KFC and responded with a smile.
After that, the two of them went shopping as planned. At noon, they had Korean hotpot together and sang songs.
As a fan, Chi Jia had chased after countless idols and singers, and she knew their works like the back of her hand. Unfortunately, she was tone-deaf. Perhaps the more she lacked something, the more she liked it. While Chi Jia was crazily blasting away at the microphone, Bai Qing pushed open the door of the private room and went to the bathroom.
As soon as she turned the corner in front of her, she accidentally bumped into an acquaintance.
Bai Qing recognized the person who was leaning against the wall and playing with his mobile phone. It was Qin Zhen, Zhang Heng's childhood friend. Bai Qing had seen Qin Zhen when they went to a concert together.
When Qin Zhen heard footsteps, he also raised his head. After seeing Bai Qing, there was a touch of embarrassment on his face. The two could only say that they knew each other, not to the extent of being friends. The only connection between them was Zhang Heng.
And this was a name that made both of them feel complicated. When they saw each other, they could not help but think of that person.
The air around them was a little tense.
In the end, Qin Zhen was the first to break the silence. "That … How have you been recently?"
"Pretty good," Bai Qing said, "What about you?"
Before Qin Zhen could answer, he saw a tall, fair-skinned girl walking out of the bathroom. While wiping her hands, she complained to Qin Zhen, "I've run out of hand wash, and no one added it. Let's go back and continue singing …"
Her voice stopped abruptly when she saw Bai Qing in front of her. A vigilant look appeared on her face. "Your friend?"
"Well, sort of." Qin Zhen nodded. Bai Qing noticed that one of the tall girl's hands was reaching for Qin Zhen's waist. She seemed to be secretly exerting force, causing the latter's expression to change slightly. "Ah, I still have something to do …"
"I know. Let's talk later." Bai Qing smiled at the tall girl and walked into the bathroom.
