Jiang Cheng felt uneasy as he knocked on the door of his home.
It was strange; he didn't know why he felt this way. When he was sent to a distant place to carry out scientific research, he was calm and composed. When he learned that the secret of the technology tree was the connection of brain structures, he felt no tension, only awe.
Now, he was about to see Luo Xiaoli. Perhaps in the next second, the face of that beautiful girl flashed into Jiang Cheng's mind, and he felt a strange mix of emotions.
Jiang Cheng's heart was pounding, eagerly anticipating the moment he opened the door and saw the person he had been longing for appear before him.
It turns out that he had been enduring the agonizing time of not being able to see Luo Xiaoli, hiding his longing in his heart. Some people are not good at expressing themselves and find it difficult to say "I miss you" in person.
But all Jiang Cheng wanted to do now was give her a warm hug and lift her high in the air.
We've finally arrived. Despite the mountains and seas ahead and the vast distances between us, we've overcome them all.
As the plane landed and drew closer to Lanjing city, he suddenly thought that Luo Xiaoli must have felt the same way when she was on her way from Fengzhou to Lanjing University of Science and Technology.
Love is a truly wondrous thing. Those who have experienced a long-distance relationship should understand what it feels like. The long wait, the agonizing anticipation, the anxious heart—all of it all feels worthwhile when you finally see each other again.
With a "click," the door opened.
Jiang Cheng walked in and saw Luo Xiaoli, who seemed to have just taken a short nap, with her hair still a little messy and a dazed look on her face.
Jiang Cheng was stunned and stood there frozen.
It's strange, why does Xiao Li still give me an unparalleled sense of amazement after seeing her so many times? Her appearance always seems so unreal; in my eyes, she seems to be surrounded by a dazzling light. If this is a dream, then it's best never to wake up.
Jiang Cheng stepped into the room, and before Luo Xiaoli could speak, he reached out and hugged her, closing his eyes.
Jiang Cheng's nose was instantly filled with her unique fragrance, a very light milky scent that he never grew tired of, no matter how many times he smelled it. He embraced her softness, unwilling to let go, and lowered his head to gently rub his cheek against her neck.
He didn't speak, but the force of his gesture was enough to say everything. Jiang Cheng really missed Luo Xiaoli. He suddenly felt a little sad. He realized that two months was such a long time.
It turns out that the two of them had been longing for this hug for a long time.
Luo Xiaoli was a little stunned at first, but after being hugged for a while, she came to her senses and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips. She loved this kind of intense love that was almost suffocating. Jiang Cheng had always seemed reserved and introverted in the past, probably due to his personality. It didn't matter that their ways of expressing love were different; they would adjust to each other as they spent more time together.
"Alright, now that you're back..." Although he didn't speak, Xiao Li understood her feelings. With his gentle voice in her ear, she patted Jiang Cheng's back lightly, then closed her eyes, enjoying the quiet and lazy warmth.
Everything in the world is irrelevant to this couple now; even if mountains crumble and tsunamis erupt outside, they will continue this embrace. In truth, when humans need to vent, they don't need much—just a quiet little room and a hug.
Human emotions are powerful. I remember watching a movie where a tsunami was about to engulf the entire world, obliterating the land. As the highway was destroyed by the towering waves, people frantically ran backward on the high bridge. Amidst the chaos and screams, two elderly people stood there, holding hands.
Running seemed too late. The two looked back at the waves that were about to crash over them, and then exchanged another glance.
The old man's hair was disheveled in the strong wind. He squeezed the nervous old woman's hand tightly, then opened his arms and embraced her.
Perhaps knowing that their fate was near, they decided to end it with an embrace.
Perhaps he wanted to use his aging shoulders to shield his beloved from the oncoming tsunami.
······
Jiang Cheng chatted with Luo Xiaoli for a while, then went to the kitchen to cook for himself. There was a sea bass that he had specially bought in the refrigerator, and he planned to steam it to try it out.
While I was in the Northwest, the food wasn't terrible, but I always missed the food here.
Living in one place for too long, even your stomach gets used to the taste of home.
Luo Xiaoli clung to him, unwilling to let go. She wrapped her arms around Jiang Cheng's waist and occasionally peeked out to watch him cook.
She suddenly felt a little dissatisfied, thinking that her brother was actually spending too little time with her.
Xiao Li is a girl who doesn't have any grand scientific research career or lofty ambitions. She just feels that this kind of simple life, with two people eating three meals a day, is good.
Actually, her brother didn't have to be so outstanding. Even if he were just an ordinary person, just another passerby on the street, she would still like him. Since she loved him for who he was, nothing else mattered.
Luo Xiaoli's selfishness is normal. She has already restrained her possessiveness a lot, and only reveals her yandere fangs under special circumstances.
Suddenly, she thought of Zhao Xuerou and asked, "Brother, did you used to like the former campus belle of Lanjing University of Science and Technology?"
You know, the easiest thing for couples to argue about is bringing up exes. Even though it should make them angry, they just can't control their curiosity. After the argument, they have to coax each other, and then the exes bring it up again next time…
Such behavior can be simply described as: causing trouble.
Jiang Cheng didn't have many thoughts on this. He casually replied, "I used to like it quite a bit, but now I'm completely indifferent. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about that experience."
He carefully sliced the scallions with a knife, and then answered.
"Then compare how much you liked her before with how much you like me now. Which one is more?" Xiao Li raised an eyebrow.
"Of course it's you, do you even need to ask?"
"You pursued her for so long, but I got together with you so easily. Won't you cherish it?"
"No way, don't overthink it." Jiang Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling.
"I saw it on some short video app that said things like, 'If something is too easy to get, you won't cherish it!'"
"Don't watch that stupid software anymore. The ideas it promotes are garbage. They just gain attention by selling distorted values. Be obedient."
Jiang Cheng turned around, and because his hands were wet, he gently rubbed Luo Xiaoli's head with his arm, and gently instructed her.
Luo Xiaoli thought for a while and felt that her brother made sense. She decided to stop using such trashy software and focus on reading novels and books instead.
