After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

"You seem to be in a trance often?"

Chen Xi's voice interrupted Jiang Baige's thoughts.

She put her arm around Jiang Baige's shoulder in a familiar manner and led her forward with the crowd: "Or...are all literary people like this? My dad is like this...Jingchai is like this...you are like this..."

"Senior Sister Jing is often in a trance?"

Jiang Baige felt that the familiar thought in her mind was about to be caught...

Chen Xi tilted his head and thought about it.

"She wasn't like this when she was a child, and when she first started writing novels... it was okay. If I have to say, it was about half a year ago? At that time, she had just been admitted to my father's doctoral program, and then she had a boyfriend... Oh, I can't tell the exact time, but anyway, when I talk to her, she becomes absent-minded."

"Maybe she has a bad boyfriend."

Jiang Baige was hinting at something, but Chen Xi didn't understand.

But she was able to continue: "I don't believe in men anymore. But Baige, you are still young, maybe..."

She glanced at Shi Xin: "Maybe, Teacher Shi is not a bad person..."

Jiang Baige smiled and didn't say yes nor no.

Although she was thinking in her heart that "they... are all the same", she couldn't act too clear-headed now, and the character of "an innocent girl who knows nothing about the world" was more suitable for her to blend in with them.

At this time, Chen Dongguo, who was separated from Jiang Baige by two people, spoke.

"Xiao Jiang is Shi Xin's friend?"

Jiang Baige walked a little forward, looked at the other party across the crowd, and was about to speak when another face appeared in front of him.

It's a thorny hairpin.

Jingchai was walking between Chen Xi and Chen Dongguo, and had been talking to Chen Dongguo, but there was no ambiguous atmosphere between them, and it could even be said that they were very tactful.

"Bai Ge, Shi Xin is chasing you, right?"

what?

Jiang Baige only made mouth shapes but didn't make any sound - because she was a little surprised that these words would come out of Jingchai's mouth.

Shi Xin also spoke up: "Senior Sister Jing, please stop making fun of me."

But just when Jiang Baige thought he was going to say something perfunctory like "We just have similar literary interests", he unexpectedly said: "But we are indeed getting to know each other... It's a bit embarrassing to say it directly."

"Sorry? Are you still embarrassed?"

Chen Dongguo laughed, and his attention returned to Shi Xin, no longer looking at Jiang Baige.

Strange, so strange...

The whole atmosphere was weird.

It was clearly a conversation between her and Chen Dongguo, but it was messed up by Jing Chai and Shi Xin.

Everyone was just chatting, so it wouldn't matter if there were more or less people. But with them getting involved, it seemed as if there was really something going on between her and Shi Xin.

But obviously, they all knew that there was nothing between her and Shi Xin!

It was as if... it was as if this was deliberately done in front of Chen Dongguo to make him feel that Jiang Baige and Shi Xin were already tied together.

Yes, this place is very weird.

But why?

If Jingchai was jealous, for example, because she didn't like Chen Dongguo getting too close to other girls... that would make sense.

But why did Shi Xin do that? Was it because he liked her?

Guessing was useless at this time, so Jiang Baige decided to ask directly, since she and Shi Xin were "neighbors" anyway.

When they arrived at the accommodation area, Jiang Baige realized that she and Shi Xin were more than just neighbors! In that area, she and Shi Xin were the only ones living there, while Chen Xi, Jing Chai, Chen Dongguo and the others lived in another area.

Jiang Baige stood at the door of their room, crossed her arms, and raised her chin: "Teacher Shi Xin, your intention is a little obvious, isn't it?"

Shi Xin did not refute, but smiled and asked: "Is it obvious?"

"Why don't you just find a loft and arrange for the two of us to live in one room, with me living upstairs and you living downstairs? Wouldn't that be more obvious?"

"Oh, that's right! Why didn't I think of that!" Shi Xin suddenly clapped his hands, "I'll write this down and use it when I write a script next time..."

"Hey."

Jiang Baige looked at Shi Xin helplessly, but Shi Xin had already taken out a notebook and pen from her bag and started writing quickly.

When he finished writing, he looked up and found Jiang Baige still standing in front of him. He asked in surprise, "Why didn't you go in?"

"Brother, you still have my room card!"

Shi Xin finally woke up as if from a dream and handed over the door card in his hand.

"It's just like what Chen Xi said. You literary people seem to be daydreaming every day..."

Shi Xin's hand holding the door card was suspended in mid-air, and he did not let go even after Jiang Baige took the door card.

"Aren't you also a literary person?"

"But I'm not pursuing someone, am I? Or are you literary people so forgetful that you forget what you just said as soon as you turn your back?"

Shi Xin let go of his hand, but he came closer: "Did you hear that?"

"I think it's not just me. Teacher Chen has remembered it, too." Jiang Baige raised her eyes and stared straight at Shi Xin. "Do you think he really believed the scene you and Senior Sister Jing just acted out, or did he see through it?"

After hearing this, Shi Xin sighed and said, "Come to my room and talk?"

Jiang Baige agreed and followed him into his room - she only had a small bag with her, and the large luggage had already been delivered to the room by room service in advance.

"Do you remember the day you first met Senior Sister Jing, she received a phone call?"

Jiang Baige nodded.

"I saw that caller ID and it said 'dear' on it."

"Isn't that normal?"

Jiang Baige was a little disappointed because she thought it would say something more obvious like "Dear Dongguo".

"When she answered the phone that day, I heard the voice coming out of the phone, it was..."

"Is it Teacher Chen?"

Shi Xin looked at Jiang Baige in surprise: "Did you hear it too?"

"No." Jiang Baige shook her head. "I just guessed it from your actions just now... You saw Senior Sister Jing took the initiative to say that you were pursuing me, and you knew that we were innocent, but you took over her words. It was like... you were helping me to deliberately avoid suspicion?"

"But..." Before Shi Xin could answer, Jiang Baige spoke again, "It was just the voice on the phone. Could it be that you heard it wrong?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Xin said categorically: "Impossible. Because Teacher Chen has a habit of coughing twice when making phone calls. I will not mishear those two coughs."

That's it?

The distrust on Jiang Baige's face became more obvious.

"Okay, I admit, I was actually worried that I had heard it wrong, so I observed it a few more times afterwards..." He skipped the details and gave the answer, "I am sure that Senior Sister Jing's 'dear' is Teacher Chen."

So, after he saw the caller ID for the first time, he didn't say who the person was. Was it actually for the purpose of verifying it again later?

Since Jiang Baige already knew the relationship between Jing Chai and Chen Dongguo, she naturally did not worry about the credibility, but asked another question: "But you didn't tell Chen Xi about this, but you covered for me because you were worried that Senior Jing would be jealous?"
