"What? You're not going home for the New Year?"

Bai Yunqing's voice roared out from the phone, scaring Yao Jing, who was peeling an apple nearby, so much that he almost cut his hand with the knife.

Jiang Baige glared at him, took her cell phone and went into the bedroom.

"Mom, don't get excited..."

After Jiang Baige confirmed that the door of the room was closed, she lowered her voice and gave advice in a low voice.

"I found a good internship at school, so... Besides, maybe I'll go back during the New Year holiday..."

"Does your family need the money you earned from your internship?"

Bai Yunqing tried to take a deep breath and was already calculating in her mind how much money she should give her money-loving daughter before she would go home obediently.

"You can't say that, Mom. The value of an internship isn't just about making money."

"But I remember you wanted to take the postgraduate entrance exam, and you were guaranteed to be admitted? Have you forgotten... Anjing University? The university of your dreams... you don't want to take the exam?"

Jiang Baige sighed: My mother has a really good memory.

I could only bite the bullet and continue making up stories: "But the company where I'm interning has many senior students from Anjing University. Do you think that if I could get their help and guidance..."

"Really?" Bai Yunqing was indeed shaken, "But... they all studied at Anhui University, why would they return to Lincheng?"

"Mom! Don't look down on Lin Cheng... What's wrong with him coming back to build his hometown? Besides, the company I'm going to is a big company, so of course it has branches all over the country..."

Bai Yunqing seemed to be convinced. Just when she was about to say "Then you just be careful", Jiang Huatao, who had been listening for a while, suddenly spoke.

"Daughter, are you in love?"

"what?"

Jiang Baige and Bai Yunqing asked the question at the same time.

Jiang Huatao said confidently: "You said you didn't come back because of internship, why don't I believe it... Besides, isn't it very popular now for college students to live together... and so on? I saw a news report two days ago about a college girl living with her boyfriend and getting pregnant before marriage, but her boyfriend was unwilling to take responsibility..."

What does her father watch all day long?

Although, what he said is not entirely wrong...but, in his eyes, is his daughter such a person?

But Jiang Huatao didn't know what Jiang Baige was thinking and kept talking.

"I'm telling you, you can't trust a man's sweet words! You're a girl, you have to protect yourself... Don't let a man trip you up too early."

Jiang Baige believed this, after all, only men understand men best.

"Don't worry, Dad. I am only focused on studying and making money. When I have money, will I still be afraid of not having a man?"

Jiang Huatao and Bai Yunqing looked at each other, as if to say: I don’t think that’s what I meant?

However, after Jiang Baige repeatedly assured her that she would try to go home for the New Year, Bai Yunqing and Jiang Huatao reluctantly agreed to her request.

Next up is finals week.

Fortunately, in my junior year, the final exam for the Chinese Department focused on papers, so I didn’t need to memorize and review books and prepare for exams as I did in my sophomore year.

On the contrary, the elective double degree in English requires hard work and preparation.

"Are you going there again?"

In the dormitory, Lin Xingran saw Jiang Baige packing her schoolbag after class, and knew that she was leaving again.

They are already in their third year, and the counselors no longer check on their dormitories so often.

However, Jiang Baige was always away from the dormitory for a few days every week, so she still had to tell her roommates.

In order to prevent Wen Mian and Zhou Ling from thinking too much, Jiang Baige and Lin Xingran decided not to tell them that she was living outside with Yao Jing.

He just said that he had a relative working here and that the girl was scared at night, so he often went to accompany her.

But Lin Xingran knew the whole story.

"What about your dual degree final exam?"

Jiang Baige shrugged: "It's okay, it's quiet over there, and it's quite suitable for learning writing."

And if you encounter something you don’t understand, you can discuss it with Yao Jing.

However, maybe Yao Jing doesn't really care about his grades. He is just like a passer-by in this world, not really studying hard.

Jiang Baige always felt that maybe after solving Liu Shutong's problem, he would disappear.

I wonder if Lin Xingran, Song Siwen—even herself—will still remember him by then...

"By the way, I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of Siwen."

Unlike Yao Jing, English is a very important subject for Song Siwen.

This not only means whether she can be admitted to the university in Anjing, but also concerns her future fate of martyrdom and whether it can be rewritten in advance.

Lin Xingran smiled and nodded: "I didn't know you were so saintly before... Isn't Teacher Liu enough for you to worry about?"

Who said no.

In the past, Jiang Baige always felt that she hated humans.

But I didn't expect that after living my life again, in addition to writing, I seemed to have lit up the skill of "100% saving people from death"...

"I hope that Teacher Liu's matter...will be resolved during this winter vacation."

Finals week goes by slowly but quickly. Once January is over, it’s already February.

There were only three exams for this major, and they were over very quickly. But the exams for the double degree were a little later, and by the time they finished, there were not many people left in the school.

"Finally liberated."

After taking the last exam, Jiang Baige and Lin Xingran rushed back to the dormitory to pack their things.

Wenmian did not have a double degree exam, so he had already withdrawn. Zhouling was studying for a double degree at the Law School, and the exam was the final exam of the previous semester at the beginning of the second semester, so he also went back.

Lin Xingran knew that Jiang Baige was going back to Lijing Villa that day, so he also bought a ticket to go home in the evening.

"Then be careful about your safety..." Lin Xingran hugged Jiang Baige, "Don't let Yao Jing... take advantage of you."

"What era is this? Living with a handsome guy, it's hard to say who will take advantage of whom."

Jiang Baige pointed at Lin Xingran's belly and said, "You can't tell from that small body that I actually have six pack abs... a little worse than eight, but not bad either."

"You!"

Very good, this aesthetic has not changed at all. Lin Xingran smiled and shook his head: "Blame me... I actually worried about you!"

***

When Jiang Baige returned to Lijing Villa, it was already dark. She opened the door, but Yao Jing had not come back yet.

It just so happened that she lived alone all year round and preferred to enjoy the spaciousness of these two bedrooms and one living room.

After all, the largest area she had lived in after leaving home in her previous life was no more than eighteen square meters.

At this moment, the sound of electricity sizzling again rang out in the quiet room...

There's more action upstairs!

Xiaoyu and Haihai are staying at Liu Shutong's house today, so the only person who could have made such a noise could be Chen Bo or Zhang Ye.

Jiang Baige didn't even have time to take off her schoolbag and rushed to the bedroom.

But she only heard a few intermittent phrases: "...decided...in the afternoon...yes, Wednesday..."

ended?

She grabbed the receiver on the table, shook it a few times, and collapsed on the ground: At this critical moment, the intercom device upstairs was... out of power!
