It was not until the sweet and bitter taste was over that Cheng Jiu managed to deal with the rest.
The girl had a small appetite. She left half of the soy milk there, but he didn't mind at all. Just like that time at the noodle shop on Beiyu Island, he took care of the rest for her.
Cheng Jiu had not allowed her to waste food before. When she really couldn't eat it, he said nothing and directly helped her solve it.
Xin Gan was still wearing the same outfit from last night and hadn't changed it. Although there was no strange smell, it was still uncomfortable to wear. On the way home from Cheng Jiu's car, she couldn't help but lower her head and smell the sleeves.
Fortunately, there's no strange smell. It's still very fragrant.
It doesn't matter that he was so close just now.
If it weren't for the fact that I was a little tempted, how could I care about my image in front of him?
Xin Gan bit his lip and briefly fell into deep thought.
Cheng Jiu wasn't fast either. He even answered a call with the phone on hands-free because he was driving and there was a lot of traffic at that time, making it inconvenient for him to answer with his phone.
It was Kagawa who made the call and asked him, "Where are you?" Have you returned to North Island?
Cheng Jiu said, "No. The flight has been changed. We'll leave tonight."
"Hui Hui is now at my place. Last night, she came out to call you but couldn't get through. She called me, but it was too late and she refused to go home. So I took her back to my place and she stayed there for one night. If you leave in the evening, then come to my place to pick her up. I have to go to the airport for a business trip in two hours." "
Cheng Hui was also raised by He Chuan. For all these years, He Chuan has always treated her like his own younger sister and spoiled her. When Cheng Jiu was not around, Cheng Hui relied on him the most.
Cheng Jiu said, "I'll go to your place to pick her up shortly."
"All right, by the way, please apologize to Miss Xin for what happened last night."
Xin Gan was mentioned. Xin Gan subconsciously glanced at Cheng Jiu. He also looked over. Their eyes immediately met. A few seconds later, she moved away first.
Cheng Jiu: "Well, it's okay."
After all, He Cheng was He Chuan's own younger brother. No matter how cruel he was, he couldn't really send He Cheng there. Indeed, based on what happened last night, it was enough for He Cheng to stay at the guesthouse for a few days. He was in debt to Cheng Jiu for this favor.
Perhaps because the hands-free mode was on at this moment, Cheng Jiu had some words that were not convenient for him to chat with He Chuan. After a few words, he hung up the phone.
"Are you going to pick up Cheng later?" "
Cheng Jiu: "Well, she ran to the He Chuan family."
"Why don't you go pick her up first? Just leave me at the front intersection. I can go home by myself. It's not far from my home either." "
Cheng Jiu said, "Are you worried about Cheng Hui or can't wait to stay away from me?"
Xin Gan: "I didn't mean that."
"No meaning?" Cheng Jiu glanced at her, the corners of his mouth lifted, and suddenly smiled. Unfortunately, there was no smile in his eyes, which made Xin Gan feel uneasy.
After a while, Cheng Jiu said, "Are you ready later?"
"No, nothing."
Aren't you going to work?
I won't really start working until next Monday.
"Oh, for what?"
"Draw a picture."
"Huh?" "Drawing?"
She explained, "Well, I'm studying craft design and doing painting."
There are many directions in painting, but Cheng Jiu knows nothing about it. Asking her is like asking in vain. I have no idea what she does. After hearing this, I knew she was learning to paint.
Cheng Jiu suddenly remembered something and joked, "It really proves that old saying."
What?
Those who study art are quite individualistic. Especially the one beside him, but this sentence had another meaning of being difficult to deal with. He went on to say, "If there's nothing else, come with me to take the journey back to Kagawa."
Will it be inconvenient?
"No." Cheng Jiu said, "She likes you very much." Just then, they came across a traffic light. The red light lasted for a long time. Cheng Jiu turned his head to gaze at her and said word by word, "Me too."
Xin Gan: "..."
Xin Gan has been confessed to before, but it's the first time I've seen someone confess like Cheng Jiu.
She had to admit that she was indeed smitten with him. She thought she wouldn't, but by the time she realized it, it was too late. She had been smitten long ago, but just refused to admit it.
The most terrifying thing is not the passionate love at first sight, but the subtle and imperceptible intrusion.
Her tight defense was of no avail. In the end, she was still easily broken through the city by him.
The green light came on and the car started again. Xin Gan held onto the leather seat with his fingers, feeling very nervous and at a loss.
She didn't know how to react either, so she didn't give a direct answer and just pretended not to have heard.
She didn't respond, and Cheng Jiu didn't press her either, giving her time to adapt. Anyway, he had already made his attitude clear. He had feelings for her and wanted her to understand his thoughts.
When they arrived at He Chuan's building, Xin Gan was waiting in the car while Cheng Jiu went to He Chuan's home to pick him up.
Cheng Hui obediently left with Cheng Jiu. Before leaving, she waved goodbye to He Chuan. He Chuan didn't even glance at her, but was overjoyed. Finally, he sent this little troubadour away.
When he got into the car, seeing Xin Gan there too, he greeted her warmly. Xin Gan responded, but as soon as Cheng Jiu got into the car, he felt very depressed all over and his complexion was not good. Seeing this, Cheng Hui shrank his neck and dared not speak randomly.
Xin Gan felt that he must be establishing his authority in front of his sister, which was quite different from his previous appearance. There was a distinct contrast. She actually found it somewhat awkward and amusing. For a moment, she couldn't hold back and curled her lips, smiling silently.
Cheng Huidi couldn't help feeling lonely and said, "Brother, aren't you on today's flight?" I thought you had left. I called you last night and you didn't answer. I wanted to see you for the last time.
You just wish I could leave early and see you for the last time.
"Don't misunderstand me. That's not what I think. I only have you as my elder brother. My parents are too old to manage me. From now on, only you can manage me." " Cheng Jiu was grinning and joking. Judging from his tone, he wasn't really angry, which gave him the nerve to crack a joke.
Cheng Jiu tugged at the corner of his mouth, disdainful of the nonsense Cheng Hui had said.
Cheng Hui's gaze shifted to Xin Gan and he sweetly called out, "Sister Xin Xin."
Xin Gan still likes Cheng Hui very much. Leaving aside the relationship with Cheng Jiu, Cheng Hui seems cheerful and innocent, with no worries at all.
Sister Xin Xin, I heard from my mom that you study at Lun Dun. How many years have you lived there? Is it fun over there? I haven't been there yet. Could you tell me about it?
Cheng Hui is also a chatterbox. Once she starts talking, she can't stop. On the way back, she kept asking Xin Gan. Xin Gan is also a good-tempered person and answers patiently. However, when it comes to her own affairs, she just gives a few words and doesn't delve deeper. Cheng Hui also asked her if there were any boys pursuing her abroad. She admitted that there were, but she didn't agree.
Cheng Hui took the opportunity to joke, "Is it because of my brother that you didn't accept others?"
Xin Gan: "Back then, I didn't know Cheng Jiu. It can't be said that it was because of him."
What's that?
Because I didn't meet someone who made my heart flutter.
And now?
Xin Gan said indifferently, "Got it."
Cheng Hui let out an extremely exaggerated "wow" and winked at Cheng Jiu with all his might.
Cheng Jiu did not respond. He was still maintaining the dignity of an elder brother.
They arrived at Cheng's doorstep. Cheng Jiu's car was parked by the roadside. Cheng Hui refused to get out and said as if not giving up, "Brother, are you really going to send your hardworking sister home?" Aren't we really going to keep Sister Xin Xin here?
Stop the nonsense. Go inside the house.
"Don't be so harsh on me. You have the ability to speak like that to Sister Xingxin. That's all you can do. You only want to be harsh on me. As for Sister Xingxin, I'll see if you dare to be harsh on her!" "
Cheng Jiu simply unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car. He went around to the back seat, opened the car door, carried Cheng Hui out, and easily threw him by the roadside. He then gave the order again: "Enter the house."
"And what about you? Will you come back after seeing Sister Xin Xin off?" Cheng Hui patted his bottom, stood up and grumbled, "You know how to be harsh on me. Even He Chuan is better than you. He won't be harsh on me, although he looks down on me."
Cheng Hui has also grown up. After not seeing each other for many years, she has become much taller and looks very cute. But her personality is too lively. Cheng Jiu sighed, raised his hand to pat her hair, lowered his voice and said, "Stop making a fuss. Be good. Come into the house."
This was really not like the usually heartless Cheng Jiu. Cheng Hui's eyes welled up a little and he said, "Brother, I miss you so much. I just want to stay with you a little longer. Don't be so harsh on me. I've only seen you once in such a long time. You're always so busy. I want to call you, but you're not available."
Cheng Jiu couldn't bear it. After all, she was his own younger sister. He comforted her a few words and didn't get into the car until she entered the house.
Xin Gan saw Cheng Hui seemingly wiping away her tears as she walked and asked, "Did Cheng Hui cry?"
"Um." Cheng Jiu responded and was turning around.
Xin Gan took another look and said, "How old is Cheng Hui this year?"
"Eighteen." Cheng Jiu said, "I just finished the college entrance examination. I don't know if she can get in with that score."
Aren't your grades good?
"Well, not good. I'm learning to draw. Only my drawing skills are passable. My academic performance is a complete mess."
Xin Gan scratched his head and said, "I'm not clear about the domestic system. I took the exam directly abroad back then, and the system was different. I didn't know about it either."
Cheng Jiu called her name: "Xin Gan."
What? She turned her head to look at his profile.
"Why did the Xin family send you abroad when you were so young?" "
Xin Gan said, "Grandpa's meaning."
Why?
My father went through the same thing. I have no brothers or sisters. My grandfather once said that he was afraid that if they were all gone in the future, I would be alone and that I wouldn't be able to handle the difficulties and setbacks of life. So he trained me from a young age and sent me abroad to study.
