Chapter 36
"What do you mean? What do you mean I have reached the age of engagement?"
Hearing Bai Qingheng's answer, Jiang Chu's originally complaining face became instantly indifferent, and a little more angry, his big eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone became sharp.
"I'm engaged, are you looking forward to it? Teacher, you are already 25 years old. You are too old to get married. The teacher is not in a hurry, nor is the student in a hurry."
"I……"
After Jiang Chu finished speaking, he turned and ran out the door.
"Jiang Chu!"
After the man's series of movements, Bai Qingheng immediately slumped on the chair, rubbed his temples, and sighed heavily.
He was right, he was already very old, an old snake that had lived for more than 500 years.But this person got angry for no reason, and he didn't know what to do. It was a happy day, but it seemed to be screwed up.
Looking at the house and doll that Jiang Chu didn't take away on the table, Bai Qingheng's heart became heavy.
He moved around, took those two things to the door of Jiang Chu's room, hesitated for a long time, and finally knocked on the door, "Jiang Chu, are you asleep?"
There was silence.
Obviously, the people inside didn't want to talk to him, so he had no choice but to open the door and walk in.
In the dark room, Jiang Chu didn't turn on the lights, but Bai Qingheng could see clearly at night. The man was lying under the quilt, his head was covered, and he was still moving his body.
"I know you haven't fallen asleep, just now your things left me, I'll put them down for you."
He gently placed the house and the doll on Jiang Chu's usual writing table, as if he was afraid that he would get angry, strode out of the room, and closed the door gently.
Hearing that there was no sound in the room, Jiang Chu poked his head out, his eyes were slightly red, and by the moonlight he could clearly see that the table was a gift from Bai Qingheng, and felt even more uncomfortable.
It turned out that Bai Qingheng treated him purely as a teacher and student, and especially supported him in getting engaged.
Is this what the simple teacher-student relationship is like?But what if he fell in love with the teacher teaching him?
That night, Jiang Chu thought a lot, and felt extremely sad.The moon in the night suddenly hid, lightning flashed and thundered, and there was a heavy crackling rain. The wind blew the window open, and a cold wind came, mixed with rain, so he had to get out of bed and close the window.
On the table, the gifts from Bai Qingheng were still quietly placed there. He walked over, locked the two gifts in the cabinet, and went back to the bed, closing his eyes and forcing himself to fall asleep.
In the early morning, the rain didn't stop, and he almost listened to the sound of the rain all night without sleep.
The mood is also like this weather, from the pouring rain at the beginning to the pattering drizzle without stopping.
However, Jiang Qiucheng treated him well today and did not go to the government office to work.Two county magistrates came to his home to celebrate his birthday, and another county magistrate from Caitian County, Li County, prepared gifts and said that there were still some cases to be dealt with.
A few of his father's close friends also came over. Although it was raining, those people seemed to be able to come in no matter the weather.
Jiang Chu only saw the guests in the hall, greeted them, and returned to the backyard holding an umbrella.
It was a bit cold today, and I was thinking of going back to my room to put on a dress, but I saw Wen Lan chatting with a fourteen or fifteen year old girl in the gazebo in the backyard, Wen Lan saw Jiang Chu, and called him over.
"Ah Chu, this is Liu Zhi County. The daughter of your Uncle Liu's family is named Liu Piaoran. Let's get to know each other." Jiang Chu felt powerless to complain. He didn't expect Liu Zhi County to bring his family's daughter to his home this year.
"Hello, Qianjin Liu." Jiang Chu smiled slightly at the girl.
Girls from Tanzhou are not like the daughters of everyone in the capital, they don't leave the door, and they don't walk through the second door. On the contrary, they are relatively free, just like Liu Piaoran appeared in Jiang Chu's house, and outsiders would not say anything.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang." Liu Piaoran's voice was very soft and small, and he was quite handsome, but Jiang Chu didn't like it.
"Mother, talk to Liu Qianjin, I'm cold now, go back and change first."
Seeing Jiang Chu's trembling appearance, Wen Lan asked Liu Piaoran instead, "Piaoran, are you cold? Do you need to go to my room and change clothes?"
Only then did Jiang Chu see what Liu Piaoran was wearing. The long white dress was made of gauze and was very thin.When the wind blew, Liu Piaoran shivered slightly, it seemed that it was extremely cold.
I thought she would agree, but I didn't expect that Liu Piaoran waved his hand, smiled, showing his white teeth, and a gleam of light in his big eyes, "No need, ma'am, I'm not cold."
"..."
Jiang Chu stopped her spirit of being sick from the cold for the sake of beauty, and hurriedly said, "Liu Qianjin, I think you feel very cold. There are many clothes in my mother's room. You can go and have a look."
Seeing that Jiang Chu said that, Wen Lan snickered, Liu Piaoran slightly curled up his lips, his eyes sparkled, and nodded slightly.
Wen Lan held Liu Piaoran and left with an umbrella. Seeing them leaving, Jiang Chu quickly ran back to the room and changed into thicker clothes.
Ever since he got up today and went to the front hall to entertain guests, he hadn't seen Bai Qingheng.
The teacher didn't like him that way. What happened last night seemed like he lost his temper inexplicably. He must have believed that he was a child at heart, and he hadn't made any progress after teaching for nearly two months. He didn't want to be so stiff with the teacher.
Then I like him in my heart, just don't let him know.Maybe in the daily relationship, the teacher will find that he is good, so he likes himself?
After making up his mind, Jiang Chu walked out of the room and came to the corridor, thinking that he would be the one to break the ice this time.
He didn't expect to meet Wen Lan and Liu Piaoran who had changed their clothes head on.
"Did Ah Chu come to see us?" Wen Lan chuckled, she specially dressed Liu Piaoran in the clothes she wore when she was young and Jiang Qiucheng fell in love, and believed that Jiang Chu would fall in love with him at this moment just like his father Liu Piaoran.
Jiang Chu pursed his lips, "No, I'll just walk around casually."
Wen Lan decided that it was Jiang Chu who wanted to take a peek, and Liu Piaoran also understood that, and began to stroke his hair with his head down.
Wen Lan smiled and said to Liu Piaoran: "Look, he's still embarrassed."
Jiang Chu was speechless, and just wanted to pass them to Bai Qingheng's room.
Then I heard Landao again, "You guys make an appointment today, and wait for two years to get married."
What engagement?Why doesn't he know?
It just so happened that Bai Qingheng came slowly from a distance, Jiang Chu didn't want to think about anything else at the moment, he just wanted his mother not to mention the matter of getting married.
"How does Piaoran feel?" Wen Lan asked Liu Piaoran again.
Liu Piaoran looked at Jiang Chu, Wen Lan pursed her lips and snickered: "Leave him alone, he is happy!"
This time, Jiang Chu couldn't stand it anymore, engagement is not a child's play, how can Wen Lan and Liu Piaoran discuss it?Besides, has she ever asked herself what she meant, and decided other people's affairs casually.
"I don't agree. If Mother likes it, she can make it up with Qianjin Liu. Anyway, I'm not sure."
Wen Lan's face couldn't hold back, Liu Piaoran put down her hand that was stroking her hair with a blushing face, feeling ashamed.
"What does Teacher Bai think?" When Bai Qingheng came over, Wen Lan threw the topic to him as if meeting a savior.
