Chapter 85: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 85: In My Heart
The hard chin hit her forehead with a buzzing sensation.
The muffled groan that floated into her ears seemed to trigger goosebumps on her skin.
As breath dispersed, a slight warmth brushed against the base of her ear.
Itchy.
Jiang Chenchen quickly stepped back, tilted her head, ignoring these strange reactions, and looked at him with a bit of anxiety.
"Did I hurt you?"
She raised her head, her gaze going up, unable to see but feeling a strong sense of presence.
Right above her head.
The somewhat burning gaze seemed to be looking at her.
Perplexed, she wondered if it hurt so much when they collided?
In the absolute darkness, the two locked eyes at close quarters.
Jiang Chenchen didn't hear a response and called out anxiously.
"Brother Ah si..."
At the same time, she reached out toward him in search.
However, her warm fingertips accidentally touched his slightly cool lips.
Those soft fingertips were like igniting a spark.
Sheng Mingsi's breath caught, and the darkness in his eyes deepened.
He quickly reached out, caught her hand, and pulled away.
His breath became erratic.
"I'm here."
Jiang Chenchen said, "Brother Ah si, is it your heartbeat pounding?"
In the absolutely quiet space, the rapidly beating heart sounded particularly clear.
Sheng Mingsi took a deep breath, tensing every nerve. He closed his eyes to calm down.
When he raised his eyes again, the suppressed depth in his gaze was replaced by a clear restraint.
"I heard that seeing the brightest star at a glance can make your heart beat faster. Look outside. Do you see the brightest and most dazzling star that catches your eye?"
He shifted the topic.
Jiang Chenchen turned her gaze outside, looking at the bright starry sky.
"It seems like every one of them is exceptionally bright. Brother Ah si, which one did you see? The brightest and most dazzling star?"
She asked while leaning against the window.
Her voice held confusion.
The star that could make his heart beat faster must be exceptionally different.
Sheng Mingsi coughed lightly, calming down his emotions. Looking outside, it seemed that taking the time to appreciate the starry sky was such a pleasant and wonderful thing.
Did his father see the same night sky before he passed away?
His voice became low and hoarse. "Look over there, it's that one, the star closest to us."
Jiang Chenchen's eyes suddenly brightened, and her heart beat a little faster.
Was this the magic of the brightest star?
"Brother Ah si, is it true that you feel your heart beating faster?"
Sheng Mingsi's gaze deepened, and his thoughts sank.
She was talking about stars, but he was talking about her.
Different.
"I heard that making a wish on a star will be heard. Why not give it a try?" Sheng Mingsi whispered in her ear, wanting to comfort this girl who made him feel different in the world.
Jiang Chenchen closed her eyes and said slowly, "I want to be a family with Brother Ah si forever."
This small voice, making a wish, sounded infinitely moving in this quiet high altitude.
Yet, it also felt infinitely poignant.
It was family, but not quite that kind of family.
Sheng Mingsi never expected he would feel so conflicted.
But none of it mattered. At this moment, it was perfect.
After Jiang Chenchen made her wish, she asked him, "What's your wish?"
"Me?"
He never made any wishes.
"Brother Ah si, your birthday this year was too bad. You didn't even make a wish while blowing out the candles. How about using the entire starry sky as bright candles now? Make a wish, okay?"
Sheng Mingsi never expected to hear such a romantic suggestion from her.
With the vast starry sky as witness, could wishes made under this night sky come true?
Can the wishes made under this starry sky come true?
He curled his lips.
Why not try being that naive child?
"Sure."
He closed his eyes, silent for a moment.
Jiang Chenchen didn't hear his wish. Sheng Mingsi said, "In my heart."
Above the night sky, who could fathom his thoughts?
Perhaps only the bright stars knew.
...
Back home, they were both very tired and retired to rest early.
But Jiang Chenchen tossed and turned in bed. What did Sheng Mingsi wish for? Why wasn't he willing to say it?
It seemed like he harbored many things in his heart.
But everyone had secrets in their hearts that they didn't want to share. After contemplating this, she calmed down and went to sleep.
The next morning, the video of Lu Su performing CPR on Jiang Chenchen went viral on the internet.
In less than a minute, the short video made it to the top of the trending list.
In the midst of Lu Su's fans' heartbroken cries, numerous onlookers expressed their amazement and excitement. The show had gone from a beautiful girl saving a hero to a hero saving a beauty in just two transitions.
"What an extraordinary CP!"
"Lu Jiang CP, you rock!"
"Darn it! Why did it cut off at the crucial moment! I want to see the handsome guy and the beauty kiss!"
"Is the world going crazy? Can you still ship a couple in such a life-and-death situation?"
"Damn, a little crooked. The figure of the ordinary girl is explosive. This conservative style has a retro beauty!"
Various comments flooded the video, but the video lasted only half an hour, disappearing from the top of the charts.
A related search term was nowhere to be found.
Netizens watching: ? Is this the power of capital? Such a big move!
...
Sheng Mingsi received this gossip early in the morning, courtesy of Ye Xi, a member of the Fourth Young Masters' group.
His originally good mood was instantly ruined.
Dark clouds gathered on his cold face.
The video was quickly deleted, and the person who posted it was found. Surprisingly, it was someone from the Love and Dating program production team, aiming to boost the show's popularity without any ethical boundaries.
He didn't handle this matter directly but left it to Gu Mingmei. "Don't let me see such practitioners again."
Gu Mingmei would definitely handle it.
He would not only be dismissed but also receive a lawyer's letter.
...
Jiang Chenchen never followed gossip news and was unaware of the online buzz.
She noticed Sheng Mingsi in the downstairs dining while going down for breakfast.
He was eating with his head down, but the oppressive, cold, and sharp aura surrounded him. He didn't seem to be enjoying his meal.
Jiang Chenchen walked over to him. "Mr. Sheng... Is breakfast not to your liking?"
She saw Aunt Hua still busy in the kitchen.
Sheng Mingsi glanced at her, his gaze deep. "Is your body okay?"
"Huh?"
"You fell into the water. Didn't you drown?"
Although Sheng Mingsi knew that she was fine afterward, even if there were artificial respiration, it was just to save a life, and there was nothing to be upset about.
But certain comments from the online "chosen couple" were screenshotted by Ye Xi, making him feel uneasy.
"Ah, that. I'm fine." Jiang Chenchen obviously knew nothing.
She sat down and reached for a steamed bun.
Nope!
The steamer was pulled away by him.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Chenchen: ? Does Mr. Sheng want to eat alone?!
