Chapter 58: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng

 Chapter 58: Don't You Miss Me?

The person was a renowned professor from the medical school and also a former teacher of Sheng Mingsi. Professor Yang, not having seen Sheng Mingsi for many years, was quite excited. After all, Sheng Mingsi, once his proud student, had ultimately chosen not to shoulder the responsibility of saving lives in the medical field, which was a bit regrettable. Professor Yang warmly invited him to sit down and chat. After some consideration, Sheng Mingsi abandoned the idea of returning immediately, accepted the professor's invitation, and decided to have tea together. After some small talk, Professor Yang mentioned a medical academic seminar scheduled for the next day. He said, "Mingsi, there's a medical academic seminar here tomorrow. If you're still interested, you can come and listen. It involves some new research data analysis on neurosurgery." Sheng Mingsi put down his tea cup, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What time tomorrow?" Anticipating a flight in the evening, it seemed he would have to postpone it to the next day. "At ten in the morning. Are you coming?" Professor Yang was somewhat surprised. "You don't have to force yourself!" Sheng Mingsi, being sincere, said, "Pr9pofessor Yang, although I'm not in the hospital, I haven't stopped my research. I'll attend the seminar." Hearing this, Professor Yang felt both relieved and wrinkled his brow. Managing such a large conglomerate and finding time for medical research, he wondered if Sheng Mingsi would exhaust himself. "You still need to take care of your health. Life is also important. Look at me at this age; my health isn't great anymore. When I was young, I was devoted to medicine. Now that I'm old, I realize I've missed too much." "So, Mingsi, have you found a girlfriend?" Sheng Mingsi's hand holding the tea cup almost trembled. "..." Human nature is... Professor Yang was no exception. "If you haven't, no problem. I know a girl at our school who is a graduate student. Would you like to meet her?" Professor Yang enthusiastically suggested. Sheng Mingsi earnestly declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Professor Yang, but I don't have plans in that regard for now." Professor Yang sighed. "Ah, such an excellent kid. Why is he not interested in girls?" ... After bidding farewell to Professor Yang, it was almost five o'clock. He first went to the hotel arranged by Wu Bi, then went out to eat something. On his way back to the hotel, he passed by a bridal shop, and the beautiful wedding dresses in the window caught his eye. He glanced at them and turned his gaze away indifferently. The terrifying images from his memory were impossible to dispel! Back at the hotel, after taking a shower and lying on the bed, he closed his eyes and fell asleep from fatigue. However, in his dreams, there were cries and pleas in the darkness. He opened his eyes, drenched in cold sweat. Rubbing his temples, he sat up, took a few deep breaths, and walked to the window. It was getting dark. The neon lights outside blurred and enlarged in his sight. The distant sound of the waves echoed, and he looked tired. For a moment, it felt like there was only him between heaven and earth. Dark, quiet, and lonely... His phone vibrated at this moment, the buzzing sound pulling him back to the real world. Sheng Mingsi took a slow breath, saw the name on the phone, and lowered his eyebrows. The deep black eyes flickered but quickly calmed down. Leaning against the window, he felt more relaxed, lazily pressing the answer button. "Who is this?" The voice on the other end remained somewhat stiff. "It's me." The lazy and low voice came through, making Jiang Chenchen pause for a moment. Her voice became lively, "Ah... Mr. Sheng?" From the time they returned from the sea to the cabin arranged by the program team, Zhan Momomo felt sorry for her and sent her assistant to buy a new phone. She helped Jiang Chenchen report the loss, and everything was settled when the assistant gave her the new phone. Although she only glanced at the phone number that called at that time, she remembered it. Thinking that someone was calling her, possibly someone who knew her and had something to discuss, she dialed back. She didn't expect it to be Sheng Mingsi. She was surprised and happy. At the other end of the phone, Sheng Mingsi responded with a faint "Hmm." "Why are you looking for me?" Jiang Chenchen's tone playfully lifted. "Do you miss me even when you haven't seen me?" Sheng Mingsi: "..." He became more certain that this guy had a simple thought process. Not hearing a response, Jiang Chenchen's tone became a bit dejected, "Don't you miss me? I kind of miss you." Sheng Mingsi lowered his voice, "Don't stay up late. Go to bed early." Jiang Chenchen could only respond with an "Okay." Thinking he was about to hang up, she asked before he could, "How did you get my number?" Thinking about that night, Sheng Mingsi confidently and coldly replied, "I naturally know everything." "Huh?" Sheng Mingsi keenly sensed that something was wrong. "What's going on?" "Nothing." Jiang Chenchen thought he might know she was lying and felt a bit guilty. However, her tone fluctuated very little, and ordinary people couldn't hear it. Someone knocked on the door, and it was Lu Su calling her out for dinner. Jiang Chenchen responded, and soon realized something was wrong. So, she said, "I'll hang up." Sheng Mingsi furrowed his brow. It wasn't her style to rush to end the call. "Who's calling you?" "Lili, she's calling me." Before hanging up, Jiang Chenchen slowed down her tone and asked softly, "Can I call you tomorrow?" Sheng Mingsi's thoughts quickly gathered. He lowered his voice, sounding deliberately stern, "If there's nothing, don't call." "Okay." Jiang Chenchen hung up with a slightly disappointed expression. However, on Sheng Mingsi's end, he furrowed his brow again. The urgency to hang up the phone was not consistent with her usual style. Jiang Chenchen quickly went out. This time, the cooking was a joint effort, and she almost cut her finger because she hadn't cooked before. Lu Su came over to guide her script, being very patient and teaching her how to do it. The two of them were close, and the scene of a handsome man and a beautiful woman working together was refreshing. But the one who contributed the most to cooking, Zhuang Wengui, didn't say anything. Chen Fangman, who assisted him, kept glancing sideways. "The little girl has probably forgotten all about her boyfriend," she thought. This show was quite interesting. During dinner, they poured some red wine and toasted. Just as Jiang Chenchen took a sip, her phone in  her pocket vibrated. This chapter is around two thousand words. Thank you for your votes!
