Chapter 76: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 76: Can't Be Too Close
Jiang Chenchen really didn't move.
In a corner of the living room on this night, the two were so close that, facing each other, Sheng Mingsi's heart started beating violently again.
Jiang Chenchen looked at him, sensing that something was wrong. "Are you okay? Did I press too hard just now?"
Sheng Mingsi: ...
Closing his eyes, he suppressed his thoughts, let go of her hand, and then reached out to touch her face, gently pushing her away.
"It's too late, go to bed."
Jiang Chenchen leaned back a bit, intending to help him up. However, he sat up by himself, his tall figure sinking into the sofa, his face filled with weariness and helplessness.
Seeing this, Jiang Chenchen asked, "Did I do something wrong just now?"
"In the future, don't get too close to men." Sheng Mingsi stood up from the sofa, his expression becoming cold and distant.
"The cake can be eaten tomorrow. Go to sleep."
He had already stretched out his long legs, bypassed the living room, and went upstairs.
Jiang Chenchen looked at his departing figure, reflecting on her actions. Couldn't one be close to someone they considered family?
The next day, when Jiang Chenchen asked about this, Xia Changli didn't hold back and patted her head.
"You're really a little silly."
Teasing her a bit, Xia Changliexplained, "Even though you think of him as your family, he is still a man. Men and women are different, you know? Just like when you grow up, you can't get too close to your dad; there has to be a sense of propriety."
"Sense of propriety?"
"Physically, you have to restrain yourself a bit. You like him and want to be close to him, but you have to be mindful of your behavior. Don't get too close." Xia Changli explained, adding, "Especially with other men, you need to be cautious about maintaining a distance."
On this point, Jiang Chenchen indeed kept her distance from other men.
Jiang Chenchen silently took note.
"By the way, have you told Mr. Sheng about your last recording session?" Xia Changli asked.
"I told him."
Xia Changli nodded, thinking that if Jiang Chenchen spoke so calmly, Mr. Sheng shouldn't be as angry as last time.
"After this recording session, when you come back, it will almost be the New Year. Come back early."
New Year?
Jiang Chenchen recalled distant New Year memories: dressing in nice clothes, receiving red envelopes and New Year gifts from Mom and Dad.
She should also prepare New Year gifts for them, right?
After searching online, she found the most expressive gifts: hand-knitted scarves and sweaters.
Warm gifts for friends and family during the winter.
Thinking this was a good idea, she secretly bought some yarn and started knitting before the New Year, without letting them know.
Late at night, she was still knitting before her last recording session. She was determined, and the dark circles under her eyes became prominent.
Xia Changli helped her with a warm eye mask to relieve fatigue. She advised, "Don't overwork yourself studying. If you don't sleep well, your body won't handle it. Falling ill wouldn't be good."
Jiang Chenchen: "I can handle it."
She said it casually, but Xia Changli was puzzled.
Was she really not tired, or was she forcing herself?
Or was her endurance truly this strong?
Putting her thoughts aside, Xia Changli removed the hot towel. "Wait, don't get up. Let me put on a facial mask for you. It'll moisturize your skin, and you'll look better on the show."
Girls really cared about their appearance.
Xia Changli did, and so did Jiang Chenchen.
......
On the last day of the recording session, the night before her departure, Jiang Chenchen continued to knit, and the scarf was finished, but the sweater was still missing two sleeves.
Her speed was already quite fast, but there was still some work left.
She couldn't resist the urge to sleep and dozed off.
When she woke up, one sleeve of the sweater was completed.
But instead of sitting in a chair to knit, she was lying in bed asleep. Did she knit it in her dreams?
She didn't have time to think about it. She packed up the sweater, freshened up, changed into different clothes, and carried her suitcase downstairs.
Aunt Hua had prepared breakfast and invited Jiang Chenchen to eat.
Jiang Chenchen sat down to eat breakfast and asked, "Has Mr. Sheng gone to work yet?"
"He hasn't. Maybe he hasn't woken up yet." Aunt Hua handed her a cup of warm milk. "Mr. Sheng is busy every day and rarely sleeps in. He might be really tired this time."
Jiang Chenchen decided not to disturb him and finished her breakfast.
......
Sheng Mingsi checked the time in his office. It was about time for her flight to land.
Secretary An Ze brought in a cup of coffee and noticed that both of Sheng Mingsi's hands were covered in transparent bandages. Concerned, he asked, "Mr. Sheng, what happened to your hands?"
Sheng Mingsi raised an eyebrow, his gaze coldly piercing An Ze's. Alarmed, An Ze quickly took a step back, nervously saying, "Uh... nothing, I'll leave now."
"Go ahead."
An Ze hurriedly retreated.
Did he ask the wrong question? He almost scared the guy to death!
Did Mr. Sheng stay up all night doing cross-stitch?
The image was too horrifying; he quickly shook his head to dispel the thoughts.
Sheng Mingsi received a call from Wu Bi about the investigation into Zhan Chen.
