Jiang Cheng was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit of repulsion, so he could only move forward a few steps without making a sound.
Zhao Xuerou didn't sense Jiang Cheng's coldness, or rather, she was already used to such indifference. She simply turned around happily, folded her hands in front of her chest, smiled as she looked at the ceiling, and continued to murmur, "Although I'm just a lowly employee who stays up all night drawing, my salary is not bad! With a little hard work, I can easily earn seven or eight thousand a month. Then, we can pay off the down payment of two hundred thousand first, and the monthly mortgage payment of four thousand a month is still within my budget."
After saying that, Zhao Xuerou turned around again. She wanted to get closer to Jiang Cheng, but at the last second she pulled her hand back: "I, um... you can just ask around tomorrow, don't worry too much about anything else."
As she said this, a glint of light flashed in Zhao Xuerou's eyes.
It seems that from the very beginning, when she made her request to Jiang Cheng, she never thought he would agree, so she had already prepared for the worst possible outcome.
But now, Jiang Cheng surprisingly agreed to her request, leaving Zhao Xuerou somewhat at a loss.
But after she came to her senses, her heart was now filled with joy and excitement.
Just a little bit of kindness from him was enough to make her happy for a long time.
This kind of life is truly ironic.
"knew."
Jiang Cheng sullenly accepted Zhao Xuerou's instructions without saying much, simply leaning against the other side, quietly pondering everything.
After being happy for a while, Zhao Xuerou was obviously too tired. She leaned against the soft goose feather pillow and fell asleep soon after.
The warm, even breathing behind Jiang Cheng gradually subsided, and he finally focused his attention on the current predicament.
"Only seven days left..."
When this thought crossed Jiang Cheng's mind, he couldn't help but frown.
This time, he can only stay in the dream dimension for a maximum of seven days. If he stays longer than seven days, not only will the dream dimension collapse, but he will also perish here.
Within these seven days, he must find the "projection" of himself that has hidden itself because of his arrival. After all, as long as he from the main world arrives through the dimensional collision artifact, the "projection" in the dream world will automatically retreat and hide. Moreover, in order to ensure that he still has a chance to return to the main world alive, Jiang Cheng must keep the world of the dream world running in balance. At the same time, he also needs to take care of his role as the "projection" and absolutely cannot allow the dream world to collapse prematurely.
Only if he successfully balances the dream plane before the seven days are up, finds the "projection" hidden in a corner, and successfully combines the "projection" with "himself," can he fold his true self and initiate the first fusion between his true self and the heart of the universe.
To do all of this at the same time... is definitely not easy.
Therefore, given the current situation, he can only obtain more information from life.
Jiang Cheng had been in a drunken state since he woke up, so trying to think about these things only made his headache worse.
"hiss--"
Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Jiang Cheng pressed his temples and changed to a side-lying position, which made him feel slightly better.
Amidst this hazy and indistinct pain, he finally succumbed to the pain and fell asleep.
The next morning.
The first light of dawn breaks, and the sun rises in the east.
A ray of soft sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, and as the sun rose higher, the room was bathed in golden light, as if a blanket of warmth had been scattered across the floor. Birds chirped among the flowering trees, and dew-laden leaves gradually emerged from the thin mist.
When Jiang Cheng opened his eyes, he found that there was no one around him.
"Um?"
He frowned slightly and looked around the room with a puzzled expression.
Empty and quiet. The curtains swayed in the breeze.
A clean suit was placed on the bedside table, with even the tie and cufflinks matched in color. The shirt buttons were all undone. It could be said that Zhao Xuerou's care for Jiang Cheng had reached its peak.
Seeing that the wall clock only pointed to "7:30", and hearing the cooking sounds coming from the kitchen, Jiang Cheng felt a strange sense of regret.
He got up silently and changed his clothes.
After finishing all this, Jiang Cheng slowly walked into the kitchen and saw Zhao Xuerou ladling two fragrant eggs into a bowl. She then took out freshly heated milk and bread from the microwave and placed a bowl of still steaming oatmeal porridge on the table. At the same time, she said to Jiang Cheng apologetically, "I'm sorry, I wanted you to sleep a little longer. I got up at 6:30 to get ready and put on makeup, but I still woke you up. But it's okay, you can eat breakfast while it's hot, and if you're sleepy after eating, you can sleep a little longer."
She picked up her handbag and, while putting on her shoes, glanced at Jiang Cheng's cuffs, smiling as she said, "The cufflinks today really match your eye color, they look great on you. I thought they suited you perfectly when I bought them last time, I think you like them too, right?"
Before Jiang Cheng could answer, Zhao Xuerou happened to see the long hand of the clock turn to the "45" position. Startled, she quickly grabbed a piece of bread from the refrigerator and hurriedly grabbed it in her hand, while running towards the bedroom: "I'm too late! I have to get to work right away! Don't forget to go to the housing development and ask for information!"
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xuerou completed a whole series of actions: "combing her hair, going to the bedroom to get her bag, taking the kitchen trash, and turning off the lights and locking the door." Jiang Cheng was stunned and felt even more guilty.
