Time ticked by, and Jiang Cheng truly understood what it meant for each second to feel like an eternity.
He sat in the cold chair, constantly glancing at the clock on the wall, looking up at it every few minutes on average.
Only a few hours have passed, and it is now 10:30 pm.
It was already pitch black outside, and lights were lit in every house. He sat alone in this small room, his body not cold, but his heart growing colder and colder.
......
Luo Xiaoli grew increasingly anxious as her brother neither answered his calls nor replied to his messages; he had completely disappeared.
She walked to the living room side and looked at the food on the table, which had become cold and the brown grease on it had solidified.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Li returned to her room and changed her clothes.
Little Bi followed behind her, darting around.
"Be good and stay home. I'll be right back." She patted Xiao Bi's head and stepped out the door.
I walked into the vast darkness of night.
With a "snap," the door slammed shut.
Little Bi stood there stunned for a long time, staring at the empty house.
Its round head turned towards the room it always entered—Jiang Cheng's bedroom.
He plunged headfirst into it!
With two nimble double jumps, she leaped from the bed onto the table, landing on Jiang Cheng's reference books. She fiddled with the spoon in the cup and scratched the open computer.
It's like fate.
It stepped on the Enter key...
The computer screen was still showing the email sending interface.
The unfinished manuscript is currently being edited.
"Sent successfully".
After a brief loading bar, these four words appeared on the webpage.
Research on the human genome arrived in Professor Shu Zhicheng's email in the School of Life Sciences...
······
On the other side, Xiao Li arrived at the entrance of Lanjing University of Science and Technology by following the route she remembered.
There were only students bustling around the school gate; most of them had returned to their dormitories late at night.
She was eagerly waiting, unsure whether to go in or stay put.
"Did my brother get kept after school because he didn't finish his homework?"
This is what Xiao Li was thinking.
A Mercedes-Benz was parked on the side of the road.
The two people inside the car were talking to each other.
"I received the call. Jiang Cheng has been detained. Let him stay here for the night."
"Young Master Qi, you're amazing! You handled this so efficiently. You truly live up to your reputation." Sun Yuchen flattered him.
"That's right. I've been around in Lanjing for so many years. The power behind me is beyond your imagination, understand?"
"I'm just a frog in a well... of course I couldn't have imagined it. Young Master Qi has shown me this."
"Haha, you know that's good. From now on, just stick with me and you'll get your share of benefits. If you want to stay in Lanjing after graduation and work for my family's company, that's not out of the question either. You handled this matter well, I'm very satisfied."
"Thank you, Young Master Qi, thank you, Young Master Qi." Sun Yuchen was overjoyed to finally hear these words. He had always wanted to stay in Lanjing after graduation and work for a good company, and he didn't want to go back to his poor hometown.
The reason she kept chasing after Qi Feng and flattering him was for this reason.
Who would want to follow him around and pat him on the back all day if there were no benefits?
After the two finished speaking, just as Sun Yuchen was about to get out of the car, Qi Feng turned around and prepared to head towards the suburbs.
Suddenly he stopped and stared blankly at a figure at the school gate.
Qi Feng suddenly grabbed Xiao Sun.
"What's wrong, Qi...?"
He stopped mid-sentence, looking in the direction Qi Feng was pointing, his gaze falling on the bewildered girl in the night.
In an instant.
Justin Sun thought he was in a dream...
She stood there all alone, occasionally tiptoeing to peer into Lantau University of Science and Technology.
The white T-shirt on top was so ordinary, but the bottom consisted of slender and straight thighs paired with denim shorts, sneakers, and long socks.
Despite the lack of anything particularly unique about her outfit, it looked incredibly eye-catching on her.
Luo Xiaoli turned her face away.
A fleeting glimpse of her profile.
Qi Feng's heart rate soared to 180!
If Zhao Xuerou's looks can be considered perfect, then this girl's looks are definitely off the charts!
It's absolutely stunning!
Are there really girls this beautiful in real life?
"Did you see that?" Qi Feng murmured.
"I see...I see it."
Qi Feng turned off the engine and got out of the car. After walking a short distance, his mind was blank, and his limbs were slightly uncoordinated.
At least that's how it appears to Sun Yuchen.
He walked up to Luo Xiaoli, coughed, and asked, "You...I...Are you a student at this school?"
Damn it, what stupid thing am I saying? The other person looks like a teenage girl, how could she possibly be a college student?
Qi Feng regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, as he was so nervous that he spoke without thinking.
Xiao Li turned around and gave a polite smile. "Hello, I'm not a student at this school. I'm waiting for someone."
"Waiting for someone? Tell me who you're waiting for. Maybe I know them. There are very few people in this school I don't know." He controlled his arm, which kept swinging, and tried to appear calm.
No matter what, Qi Feng has been through countless romances.
When did I become this nervous in front of a young girl?
"Thank you. I'm here to see my brother. His name is Jiang Cheng... Do you know him?"
