Chapter 42: Hiding You in My Heart

The two of them were intimate for a while, and then Song Shengsheng heard a noise outside the bedroom: "Xiao Chen and the others are here too?"

"Yeah." Jiang Yiyu buried his face in her shoulder: "They are busy. They will leave after they are done."

"Oh, so you don't need to be busy?"

"Yes."

"So you're still staying here?"

Jiang Yiyu chuckled twice and kissed Song Shengsheng's earlobe: "Am I not busy now?"

Song Shengsheng's cheeks flushed. She smiled and touched Jiang Yiyu's head: "You're breaking the rules by doing this."

"What rules did you break?" Jiang Yiyu raised his head and gently nudged the tip of her nose: "Hmm?"

Song Shengsheng didn't answer. She just let go of her arm around his neck and pushed him: "I'll order some midnight snacks for them." As she spoke, she was about to reach for her phone, but Jiang Yiyu pulled her back: "I bought it."

"Then I'll buy milk tea!"

“I bought it too.”

"Then...what else can I buy?"

"You don't have to buy anything. Don't worry about it. Your only responsibility now is to stay with me."

"Oh." Song Shengsheng withdrew his hand: "Please turn on the desk lamp."

Jiang Yiyu turned on the desk lamp, and the warm yellow light came on.

Song Shengsheng moved to the other side, lifted the quilt, patted the place where he had just lain, and motioned Jiang Yiyu to come over.

Jiang Yiyu leaned against the headboard, his fingertips gently twirling her long hair scattered on her shoulders: "When are you leaving tomorrow?"

"The flight is at 3pm, what about you?"

"Eight o'clock in the morning."

"Huh? That doesn't mean there are only a few hours left."

"There's no other way. I can't keep the crew waiting too long." He pinched the ends of Song Shengsheng's hair and gently rubbed her face, causing Song Shengsheng to dodge aside: "Maybe you won't wake up tomorrow, and I have to leave."

"I'm going to miss you."

"How did you know I was going to say that?"

Song Shengsheng turned to look at him and held his hand that was playing with her hair: "Because this is what I want to say. Jiang Yiyu."

"What's wrong?"

Song Shengsheng hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Isn't our gradual progress a bit too slow?"

"Hmm? You want to speed up the process? To what extent?" Jiang Yiyu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked casually.

"Well..." Song Shengsheng didn't know what to say, so she simply threw the question back to him: "What do you think?"

Jiang Yiyu curled his lips and smiled: "I think it's good now."

"All right."

"You feel bad?"

He threw the question back to Song Shengsheng. Song Shengsheng looked at him and frowned. She finally realized that Jiang Yiyu was just pretending to be stupid, and he didn't want to break this window paper now.

"I think it's pretty good, too."

"Well, that's good." He let go of Song Shengsheng's hair and withdrew his hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to remove your makeup."

"I don't want to go."

"What's wrong? Are you angry?"

"no."

"What is that?"

Song Shengsheng tilted her head: "I spent a long time putting on makeup to see you today."

Jiang Yiyu drew out a long "hmm" sound. He raised his hand and gently pinched Song Shengsheng's chin. He leaned in closer to look at her carefully, and said exaggeratedly, "You are so beautiful! I didn't even notice you were wearing makeup."

"Perfunctory."

"Really, because you have always been so beautiful in my eyes." He gently rubbed the corner of Song Shengsheng's mouth with his fingertips: "My dear is always so beautiful. Did you come to see me today?"

“Standing on the sidelines, I watched from a distance.”

"Does it look good?"

Song Shengsheng nodded: "Su Bei said you are the best performer she has ever seen."

Jiang Yiyu chuckled happily: "Mother-in-law, where is she?"

"Going to see her boyfriend."

"So she's not here, that's why you came to see me?"

"No, I was planning on being with you tonight too."

"Oh." Jiang Yiyu shifted his gaze towards her lips meaningfully: "Then I am still quite important."

Song Shengsheng turned her head to avoid his hand that was pinching her chin: "Do you want some candy?"

"What?" Jiang Yiyu returned to his seat and continued to lean lazily against the head of the bed.

Song Shengsheng stood up, stepped over his legs and got off the bed. She picked up her coat from her suitcase, took out the candy from her pocket, took Jiang Yiyu's hand as if presenting a treasure, and placed the candy in his palm.

Jiang Yiyu picked up one and looked at the cartoon head on the wrapper. He suddenly smiled and said, "Is that me?"

"Well, your fans gave it to you. Try it, it's really delicious! Jiang Yiyu, you really have the love of many people."

Jiang Yiyu placed the rest of the candy on the bedside table, slowly peeled the piece in his hand, and put it in his mouth. He looked up at Song Shengsheng, who was looking at him expectantly, and said slowly, "But what should I do if there is bitterness behind the sweetness?"

Song Shengsheng thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it better to just remember the sweetness? If you're too tired, just slow down. No matter what, life always has an ending."

"You know what I'm talking about?"

"Of course, I just don't like going online, not that I never go online. Popularity and traffic are double-edged swords. The more people know you, the more people will like you, and there will definitely be people who hate you. No one can be liked by everyone. In this case, you might as well be happy and be yourself. I will accompany you."

Jiang Yiyu twisted the candy wrapper and said, "My dear, the world in your eyes is always so beautiful."

Song Shengsheng gently touched his head and said, "If you like, I will tell you more and take you to see more. Is that okay?"

Jiang Yiyu put his arm around her waist and said softly, "Okay."
