“That’s right,” Su Yue agreed, smiling as she nodded . She was glad that Bai Jing had come to terms with it .
She was wondering how to comfort Bai Jing, so she ignored the part where she mentioned her previous rumor .
Bai Jing pressed her lips together, looking at Su Yue gratefully . “Thank you, Su Yue . ”
“We’re best friends,” Su Yue quipped . She was smiling innocently .
She looked at Bai Jing with a pure and innocent gaze .
Bai Jing’s scandal seemed to spread wilder than Su Yue’s .
Although Su Yue had already phoned Xuxu . She asked Yan Rusheng to inform the school to get the posters removed .
However, this incident still significantly affected Bai Jing .
People would give her odd looks whenever she stepped out of the door, so she gradually stopped leaving the dormitory room . She refused to attend lessons as well .
“Bai Jing, shall we go out for a meal later?” Su Yue asked . Whenever she left the house, she was always worried about Bai Jing . She was afraid that she would do something rash .
Xuxu instructed her to spend more time with her and bring her out for walks .
But Bai Jing refused every time .
Bai Jing was sitting before the desk, a mock paper before her . She was holding a pen as she pondered over the questions in all seriousness . It was as though she couldn’t hear Su Yue at all .
She had been going on like this for a few days and she didn’t seem to get better . Worried, Su Yue suggested, “Let’s grab a bite with Jiaojiao later, then catch a movie . Or we could go to the playground . ”
Then she thought of something and her eyes brightened . She hugged her elbow and suggested with a smile, “Didn’t you say that you’ve always wanted to ride the revolving wooden horse? Let’s go tonight . ”
Bai Jing only reacted since Su Yue grabbed her elbow . She turned around to look at her . She plainly replied, “Su Yue, you go ahead . I don’t feel like going . ”
She then pushed Su Yue’s hand off her arm and returned her attention to the paper .
Su Yue didn’t give up . She pulled her arm again . “Let’s go together . ”
Bai Jing put down her pen and turned around . She smiled at Su Yue and said, “I don’t want to be a ‘light bulb’ by going out with you and Jiao Chen . Don’t worry, I’m fine . I just want some time alone to process it all . ”
Her voice was soft but adamant . Su Yue pursed her lips and didn’t press on further . “Then… Then I’ll buy dinner back for you . ”
Bai Jing nodded and agreed .
After which she turned expressionless once again .
Su Yue pursed her lips . “I’ll get changed then . ”
After turning around, she opened her cupboard doors and took out a stack of clothes .
It was her first date with Jiao Chen .
No, it was their first official date . Jiao Chen wanted to bring her out for a meal and a movie .
She felt that she should dress formally .
What exactly should she wear?
Su Yue glanced at the huge pile of clothes . Xuxu bought all of them . They were the newest autumn clothes across various brands .
Xuxu didn’t care about the brands of her own clothes, but she insisted on treating Su Yue like a princess . So all of Su Yue’s clothes were at least a thousand dollars .
She picked a few outfits and stood before the mirror . Finally, she settled on a blue body-hugging sweater, coupled with champagne red leather pants and black flats .
It was trendy, yet it wasn’t her usual cute style .
Her hair was tied up in a loose ponytail and her fringe was let down .
