Chapter 144 Can You Not Leave?
Chapter 144 Can You Not Leave?
Time always flies when you're with someone you like. Before you knew it, dusk was falling, and Jiang Chengcheng glanced at her phone; it was already 7 p.m.
"It's getting late, I need to go back." Jiang Chengcheng sat cross-legged at the foot of the bed and looked at Sirius, who was working on the sofa next to her.
I don't know when we'll meet again.
Ironically, Jiang Chengcheng and Sirius's first date was mostly spent with Sirius working and Jiang Chengcheng playing on her phone.
After all, with Sirius working so hard, Jiang Chengcheng shouldn't bother him even out of politeness.
"So soon? Can't you stay here for one night? I'll miss you." Hearing Jiang Chengcheng say she was leaving, Sirius finally managed to look away from the pile of white documents.
"You still dare to talk! You've been working non-stop since we got back to the hotel, and you haven't spoken to me at all! I guess I'm not as important as your work in your eyes. Do you know that I watched more of your videos this afternoon than you've spoken to me today!" Jiang Chengcheng launched into a tirade against Sirius.
Because Douyin (TikTok) uses big data for content recommendations, the chances of seeing content based on a person's preferences are generally higher.
Jiang Chengcheng used to love watching movie reviews, but ever since her relationship with Sirius changed, she sees news about him almost every time she logs into her account.
Jiang Chengcheng even suspected that Douyin was monitoring her life in real time every day!
"It's my fault, I'm sorry. I had already arranged the work in advance, but some unexpected situations suddenly arose, so I have to continue working overtime." Sirius looked at Jiang Chengcheng with a guilty expression and said.
He wouldn't say he wouldn't do it again to coax Jiang Chengcheng, because his job meant that "plans can't keep up with changes" was the norm, and he wouldn't easily make promises he couldn't keep.
"Alright, I forgive you. Are you tired? Lie down and rest for a while." When Jiang Chengcheng heard Sirius say this, a feeling of heartache suddenly welled up in her heart, and her complaints about him spending almost the entire day buried in documents lessened considerably.
Sigh! Oh well! Who told me to date him? What can I do if I'm busy with work? I just have to put up with it.
"I'm not tired, Chengcheng, please don't leave today, okay? Don't worry, I just want to see you more, that's all. After all, I have to leave at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Sirius looked at Jiang Chengcheng with pleading eyes, his reluctance almost palpable.
This made Jiang Chengcheng's immediate refusal catch in her throat.
"..."
Oh my god! How could she refuse? He was begging me with such a pitiful expression!
"I... how about I give it a try?" Jiang Chengcheng hesitated for a long time, but in the end she couldn't resist Sirius's gaze.
moment.
Jiang Chengcheng dialed her mother Cheng Juan's contact information.
"Mom, my friend is leaving W City tomorrow. I want to spend some time with him today and won't be going home tonight." Although Jiang Chengcheng said she would give it a try, Cheng Juan wasn't actually that strict with her. After all, she had often been away from home when she was busy with work.
"Not coming back? Where will you stay? Is this friend of yours reliable?" Cheng Juan was a little worried, but she didn't refuse outright.
"Don't worry, Mom, we have a place to stay outside. I'll be back tomorrow morning. Don't worry, there are still so many people with me." Jiang Chengcheng knew her mother was worried about her, so she reassured her.
"Okay, then be careful." Because Xiao Yun and Zeng Zhan were with her, Cheng Juan knew the overall level of the officials, so she put aside her last bit of concern and only told her daughter to be careful.
"okay!"
Jiang Chengcheng hung up the phone happily and turned to smile at Sirius.
"Done! Haha! If you still look at the documents this time, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
"Okay, I'm not watching anymore." Sirius couldn't help but laugh when he saw the smug and proud expression on Jiang Chengcheng's face.
Not far away, her bright eyes shone even brighter under the incandescent light. With her high nose bridge, slender and narrow eyebrows, and captivating phoenix eyes, she looked as if she had stepped out of an oil painting.
Jiang Chengcheng has a face with a classic Eastern charm, both pure and alluring, probably the most perfect synonym that Sirius could imagine.
They had been busy with work before, so they didn't feel anything when they were alone. But now that they had nothing to do, they just stared at each other, and Sirius started to feel a little distracted.
Looking at Jiang Chengcheng's naturally red lips, Sirius was initially stunned. If he didn't have amazing self-control, he probably would have wanted to touch those glossy red lips the next second.
But when he saw Jiang Chengcheng's slightly immature face, Sirius quickly slapped himself, cursing inwardly, "Beast!"
Doesn't Chengcheng know how old she is?
What is he doing?!
"Sirius! What are you doing?" Jiang Chengcheng was extremely surprised to see Sirius staring at her blankly for a moment, and then slapping her across the face.
What's wrong with Sirius? (?◇?)
Why did you suddenly hit yourself?
"It's nothing, Chengcheng, come here." Sirius, who had finally recovered, opened his arms to gesture for Jiang Chengcheng to come over when he heard her words.
Having had the experience of being hugged before, Jiang Chengcheng didn't react much when she saw Sirius's actions this time. She just obediently walked over.
"What..." Jiang Chengcheng was about to ask what was going on when Sirius grabbed her hand and pulled her into a tight embrace.
After a long silence, Sirius finally spoke again.
"My dear Chengcheng, I really hope you grow up quickly."
After saying this, he gently patted Jiang Chengcheng's messy hair one last time, and finally reluctantly let go of her from his arms.
"Fool! This isn't something I can decide!" Jiang Chengcheng, a straightforward woman, completely missed Sirius's subtext and even mercilessly mocked his intelligence.
When Sirius heard Jiang Chengcheng's words, he knew that she had not understood him at all. He could only smile helplessly, feeling regretful.
It's still too small.
"Let me tell you! Although I agreed to stay, we still need to keep to the proper boundaries. If you dare to cross that line in your sleep tonight! Hmph!" Jiang Chengcheng looked at Sirius. A sinister smile was clearly visible on her face, and she slightly raised her right fist, seemingly as a warning.
“Yes, my little princess.” Sirius was taken aback at first, but then he realized that the second bedroom in the hotel was built in a secluded place. Jiang Chengcheng had been lying there scrolling on her phone since she arrived, so she had no idea that there was more than one room inside. But since she had said so, Sirius was naturally happy to see it happen.
