Jiang Lin gently touched Yao Yu's arm to signal him to look forward. Yao Yu changed his serious expression to his usual smile and leaned forward to call out to Bai Zhen in a low voice, "Sister Zhen, it's Qiu Ying's birthday? You seem a little stingy if you're only giving her candy!"
After saying that, he revealed a look of disdain.
Bai Zhen immediately retorted, "You're the stingy one! Yingying asked me to help her buy this."
Yao Yu continued naturally, "Qiu Ying likes sweets? I really couldn't tell."
Bai Zhen didn't think too much about it and replied, "It's fine. She likes to eat citrus-flavored cakes and biscuits, but occasionally, if she can't eat them anymore for a while, she will use this candy to replace them."
After finding out what he wanted, Yao Yu chatted with Bai Zhen about other topics.
After the self-study session, Jiang Lin got up when he saw Bai Zhen leave the classroom, took out the candy from the drawer, took a photo, and put it back in place.
With a knowing look, Yao Yu put an arm around Jiang Lin's shoulder and winked, only to receive an eye roll from him.
Jiang Lin went back to the dorm and checked the brand "Xi Zi" and the candy brand. He found that Xi Zi's citrus-flavored products were medium-priced for high school students, and the candy was ten bucks for a big bottle. Even if she ate two every morning, noon, and night, they could eat them for a month for ten bucks.
After another look at the ingredients of the candy, he saw that the amount of pigment chemicals and saccharin were very high. Jiang Lin frowned.
So he went on Taobao and recalled the packaging of the cake and biscuits Qiu Ying had eaten before. Jiang Lin quickly found the corresponding products and ordered a large box of each.
In the classroom.
Qiu Ying entered the classroom in her school uniform dress and her hair was in a high ponytail. In the past, Qiu Ying always had a low ponytail. Now that she had changed her hairstyle, her temperament had become bright and vivacious.
Qiu Ying quickly walked to her seat under the gazes of her classmates.
Bai Zhen's eyes lit up when she saw Qiu Ying enter the classroom from the front door. She immediately waved warmly and gave Qiu Ying a bear hug as soon as she sat down.
"Little Yingying, I missed you so much. I haven't seen your gorgeous face for the entire weekend! You're finally wearing your hair in a high ponytail. I'm full of inspiration now!"
After saying that, Bai Zhen pinched Qiu Ying's little face excitedly.
Qiu Ying was already used to it. She smiled and let Bai Zhen knead her.
In Bai Zhen's eyes, Qiu Ying was a girl who was aloof on the outside but warm on the inside. However, it was very difficult for her to enter Qiu Ying's heart. Back then, she had spent a lot of effort to win Qiu Ying's heart.
After she experienced what had happened in her previous life, Qiu Ying's personality was cold after her rebirth. In order not to let Qi Yue threaten her with the people around her again, Qiu Ying didn't want to have too much contact with anyone.
But Bai Zhen was always around her, like a little sun. Her optimistic and cheerful personality influenced her, making her, who had just transferred over, quickly adjust and integrate into this city.
Sitting in the backseat, Jiang Lin looked at Bai Zhen's little hand on Qiu Ying's face, his gaze deep.
When Yao Yu saw Qiu Ying's new look, he said with admiration, "Qiu Ying, you look pretty with a high ponytail! You look so energetic! With your previous low ponytail, those who didn't know better probably thought that you were a teacher. Your calm and levelheaded temperament is comparable to Mr. Qian's."
When Bai Zhen heard Yao Yu praise Qiu Ying's new hairstyle, she felt happier than if she had been praised. Hence, she turned around and replied, "You have good taste!"
Jiang Lin was a little distracted during class. Qiu Ying was in Jiang Lin's front seat. The girl looked up at the blackboard and lowered her head to copy notes from time to time. Occasionally, she would turn her head and answer Bai Zhen's questions.
Jiang Lin watched as the hair swayed slightly in front of his eyes. He'd been a little distracted all day and felt an itch in his heart. He wanted to reach out and scratch it, but he couldn't reach it. He felt very irritated.
The students who had been in class all day finally made it to the last class on Monday—physical education!
As soon as class started, the students cheered and walked downstairs. The PE teacher let the students who participated in the school's sports meeting practice on their own.
Bai Zhen wanted to follow Qiu Ying, so she hugged her arm and said, "Little Yingying, I'll accompany you to train!"
Lin Zhao heard a cough from behind.
Bai Zhen turned around when she heard the voice and saw Lin Zhao looking at her. She was pulled back to reality.
