Destined with You

Chapter 521: Chapter 526: Things That Can Change 4

“Senior Ruiqing, Teacher He.” Gu Qingxin took the initiative to greet them and nudged Bai Qianqian at her side.

Only then did Bai Qianqian react and politely called out to the both of them.

“Since you are all alumni, there’s no need for another introduction. However, I should still introduce Ruiqing’s new role. He is now a professor hired by our school! From now on, you all will have the opportunity to attend lectures taught by your senior,” Teacher Hewei said with a smile to the both of them.

“A professor?” Bai Qianqian’s gaze landed on Bai Ruiqing’s face.

“Yes! Professor Bai, we should move along now. The principal is still waiting for us,” Hewei looked at Bai Ruiqing, her face filled with admiration.

“Please take good care of us in the future,” Bai Ruiqing gave Bai Qianqian a deep look, then left with Hewei.

“Qianqian, are… are you okay?” Gu Qingxin worriedly held her arm. He never would have suspected that Bai Ruiqing would become a professor at the school for her.

“I’m fine… It seems that Teacher He likes Senior Bai,” Bai Qianqian mumbled. A girl’s intuition is often very sensitive, especially when it concerns someone she likes.

“It seems so,” Gu Qingxin also felt it.

“They actually seem quite compatible.”

“…”

“Come on, if you’re sad, cry it out! Don’t suppress it!” sighed Gu Qingxin helplessly. He hadn’t a clue how to navigate this terrifying love triangle.

Even contemplating her future, let alone Bai Qianqian imagining it, left him feeling somewhat breathless.

After all, the two of them were real brothers!

“I… I’m not sad! I’m going to see… Bai Jingqing should be almost here,” Bai Qianqian withdrew her arm and turned to leave.

Her hand covered her lips, and she couldn’t hold back her tears any longer as they began to descend.

Gu Qingxin watched her slightly shaking shoulders and knew she was crying, but she needed more tranquility right now…

Bai Jingqing arrived at the school gates and dialed Bai Qianqian’s number numerous times. She didn’t answer. His brow furrowed tightly, and he felt a twinge of unease.

He exited his car, planning to enter the school and find someone. But then he saw Bai Qianqian leaving the school.

Bai Qianqian glanced around before her gaze landed on Bai Jingqing. She walked slowly towards him.

“Where were you? Why didn’t you answer your phone!” Bai Jingqing stepped forwards and grabbed her arm.

“I… I accidentally turned my phone on silent,” Bai Qianqian explained, lowering her head.

“Huh, you’re useless in bed, but pretty good at lying!” Bai Jingqing dropped her arm angrily and stood with his arms crossed, looking down at her.

Having been caught in such a blatant lie, Bai Qianqian wished she could just disappear into a hole in the ground. Her hands knotted nervously together as she murmured, “I’m sorry.”

“Lift up your head!” Bai Jingqing ordered coldly.

To Bai Jingqing, Bai Qianqian was a complete puppet in front of him. Following his every command, albeit with a delay.

She’s not like this with other people at all!

As expected, it took Bai Qianqian three whole seconds before she lifted up her head. Bai Jingqing looked at her slightly red-rimmed eyes. “Have you been crying?”

“No, I just have something in my eyes.”

“Another lie!” Bai Jingqing narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

Bai Qianqian, “…”

“Where’s the medicine? I’ll take it to Qingxin.” Bai Qianqian didn’t want to continue this line of conversation.

The more she spoke now, the more mistakes she made.
