"no problem!"
Chen Shi agreed without hesitation.
He smiled kindly, stepped forward, and put his arm around Jiang Cheng's shoulder, saying slowly, "I knew you couldn't be confined to this place. But, to see you grow up to be like this one day, I am truly gratified!"
"I dare not accept such praise."
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, but did not accept the teacher's praise.
While the teacher is right—he could never stop at this small achievement—there's no need for him to be overly complacent or boastful. He should be clear about these thoughts himself.
After the two briefly handed over the remaining work, Jiang Cheng prepared to get up and leave: "Well, teacher, I have some other things to do, so I won't chat with you any longer. I'll be going now."
"etc!"
Chen Shi hurriedly got up and chased after him.
As he stood in front of Jiang Cheng, he still smiled proudly, "Now that you've decided to leave for a while, I still have to invite you to have a meal. You wouldn't refuse me that, would you?"
Although Chen Shi's words did not contain a particularly strong tone, Jiang Cheng could still sense the earnestness in them.
"this……"
Jiang Cheng felt somewhat awkward in the face of his teacher's enthusiastic invitation.
He did indeed have a lot of things to do, and time was extremely tight. Handing over all his projects in less than ten days before departing for the Dream Plane was practically impossible. At this moment, he couldn't afford to relax even for a moment.
But this was Chen Shi's invitation...
For a moment, he was caught in a deep dilemma.
However, how well does Chen Shi understand Jiang Cheng? His prized student, who has been with him for so long, how could he not understand Jiang Cheng's personality?
He immediately saw Jiang Cheng's dilemma, smiled calmly, patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder gently, and kindly advised, "I know you're busy, but you can't skip a meal with your teacher, can you? Don't worry, it's just lunch, it won't take up too much of your time."
"Let's go, let's go!"
As he spoke, Chen Shi put his arm around Jiang Cheng's shoulder and half-pushed his back, saying, "The more you hesitate here, the more time you waste. If you had agreed earlier, we might already be home."
The old man was all smiles, clearly knowing that Jiang Cheng would be embarrassed to refuse his invitation, so he simply urged, "Drive your car, let's go."
"……good."
Having heard the teacher's earnest words, Jiang Cheng knew he couldn't refuse, so he smiled helplessly and lowered his head: "It really has been a long time since I've had a meal with you. After today's parting, I don't know when we'll meet again..."
Before Jiang Cheng could finish speaking, Chen Shi interrupted him directly, his tone devoid of any sentimentality: "What's wrong? Why are you getting all sentimental? It's not like you're not coming back! Stop saying such sad things, let's go eat!"
"good."
The two walked out of the conference room, where Gu Qingwan was already standing by the car.
Her hair was ruffled by the wind, falling loosely over her shoulders, making her skin appear even whiter. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and from a distance, her features seemed to possess a more spirited and dashing air than before.
"Boss, Dean Chen Shi, please get in the car."
As soon as the two reached the roadside, Gu Qingwan opened the car door at the opportune moment, smiled and bowed: "The air conditioning in the car is already on. If the temperature is not suitable, Dean Chen, please let me know directly."
"OK, thanks."
Chen Shi nodded and handed Gu Qingwan an address, saying, "Assistant Gu, could you please drive us here?"
After getting into the car, Chen Shi saw the glass of warm water beside him and couldn't help but exclaim, "Jiang Cheng, I have to say, your assistant is really quite capable. Not only can she help you with your work, but she also takes such good care of you in your personal life."
Jiang Cheng simply gave a muffled "hmm" and lowered his eyes to continue working.
Seeing how busy he was, Chen Shi didn't say anything more and quietly sat aside with his eyes closed to rest.
After an hour's drive, Gu Qingwan drove into an elegant villa area.
"arrive."
Chen Shi opened his eyes and saw the lush greenery everywhere. He then sat up straight, smiled, and turned to Jiang Cheng, saying, "Haven't I brought you home yet? Oh dear, I've been so busy lately that I completely forgot to bring you over. My bad, my bad..."
"It's not too late now."
Jiang Cheng looked around.
This villa area seems to be a bit old; you can tell at a glance that these aren't particularly new houses. The walls are covered with lush, green ivy, and when the wind blows, the leaves ripple like green waves across the warm white walls.
The pale blue and white European-style houses stand on both sides of the road, and the yellowed paint on the walls undoubtedly tells everyone that these houses are quite old.
Chen Shi pointed to a house in the distance: "Over here."
As he led Jiang Cheng in that direction, he explained, "I haven't moved in a long time. I've lived here for so many years and I've gotten used to it. The house might look a bit old, but don't mind it. A home is just a place where you feel safe and comfortable, right?"
"That's true."
Jiang Cheng didn't care about these details and simply followed Chen Shi into the house.
As soon as he opened the door, the main light in the living room shone with a warm white glow, making Jiang Cheng feel slightly dazed. He stepped forward and looked down, just in time to see the chestnut brown glow of the solid wood flooring, which instantly filled him with a warm feeling.
