The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng(20)
Chapter 20: I Want to Be with You
He stood behind her, gazing at the dark night sky she was looking at.
Tonight, there were no stars.
Sheng Mingsi's eyes narrowed slightly as he handed the milk tea he held to her.
"Want some?"
Jiang Chenchen turned around, and a faint flicker appeared in her vacant eyes.
She thought she would never see him again.
For some reason, her heart eased a bit.
She took the milk tea. Looking up at him, she asked, "Are you still angry?"
Her tone was neither submissive nor ingratiating, just a blunt question.
Chu Yiyang, who was on the side, was stunned.
Is this how she talks?
He had been talking all day, using various professional techniques, but she ignored him. Sheng Mingsi arrived, and she spoke immediately.
Is she only willing to talk to Sheng Mingsi?!
Moreover, it seemed like there was something between the two.
He sat quietly on the side, listening.
Sheng Mingsi casually glanced at him. Chu Yiyang cleared his throat, "I'll go to the restroom."
And he tactfully slipped away.
Sheng Mingsi looked deeply at her, lowering his voice, "Do you care if I'm angry?"
Jiang Chenchen didn't know why, but she earnestly nodded, "A little bit."
His dark eyes slightly softened. Why would someone without the will to live care if he's angry?
Suppressing his emotions, he turned and sat on the sofa, beckoning for her to come over.
Jiang Chenchen walked over and sat beside him. She was close, but it seemed like an unconscious act.
Sheng Mingsi frowned slightly. There was no flaw on her face. If he didn't know her background, he might have thought she was a woman intentionally getting close for some ulterior motive.
He despised such people.
But apparently, Jiang Chenchen wasn't one of them.
She lowered her head, sipping the milk tea with great concentration.
Sheng Mingsi got to the point, "Have you talked to anyone else besides me?"
Jiang Chenchen slurped her tea, then looked at him and shook her head.
Sheng Mingsi asked, "Why?"
"Don't know."
She continued to drink her milk tea, completely focused.
Or perhaps, she really didn't care about anything.
Sheng Mingsi found it strange that she only spoke to him. Just as he thought about it, he quickly recalled her words from last night, where she mentioned having a little bit of liking.
His eyebrow twitched slightly, and he controlled his expression.
After a while, he continued, "If I tell you to live well in this world, can you do it?"
"I am living."
"Not in that way. You need to study, gain knowledge, learn skills, and have life goals and ideals."
Speaking on a grand scale, she didn't react. She had heard many such words before.
Sheng Mingsi changed his approach, speaking extremely patiently, "Do you have anything you want to do or something you desire right now?"
Jiang Chenchen looked up at him. "Eat ice cream."
Her expression and tone were flat, but Sheng Mingsi could sense a subtle fluctuation in her emotions.
She mentioned this thing happily.
So, he continued to ask, "Anything else?"
"I want to be with you."
She said it straightforwardly. Sheng Mingsi hadn't reacted yet. If he didn't know about her abnormal thought process, he might have turned his face and told her to leave.
He closed his eyes, stood up to calm himself, then sat back down, saying, "In this world, you may not always achieve what you want, but you must make efforts for it to happen."
"If you want to be with me, you have to try."
Jiang Chenchen thought for a moment, "Then, what should I do to be with you?"
It was one of her rare longer sentences.
Seeing that the direction was right, Sheng Mingsi continued patiently, "After you get used to it for a while, I will send you to school."
"School?"
Jiang Chencheng thought about it, but she had only attended the first grade of elementary school.
