    Chapter 19 An opportunity childishness

    Sure enough, he saw Cheng Yuxin’s angry expression.Since he couldn’t have an attack in a public place, he could only give Jiang Chen a fierce look.Jiang Chen chuckled, showing his innocent white teeth: “Then tell me how I should call you.”

    “I have a name.” Cheng Yuxin said angrily.

    “That’s a lot of points, Boss Cheng.” Jiang Chen said in a strange tone.

    “That’s good.” Cheng Yuxin looked very satisfied with the title “Boss Cheng” and said quickly.

    Jiang Chen didn’t get what he wanted: “Honey, you really hurt my heart by doing this.”

    Seeing that Jiang Chen refused to take any advantage, Cheng Yuxin was completely at his wits end and leaned back, looking like a broken jar.

    Jiang Chen immediately stepped forward with a flattering smile, picked up his chopsticks and put a full bowl of the special dishes that had just been served into Cheng Yuxin’s bowl, “Wife, try this. It is said to be the signature of this restaurant and cannot be found anywhere else.” Whether it was intentional or not, the word “wife” seemed to be emphasized a little.

    As expected, Cheng Yuxin fell into the trap. She straightened her back and looked at Jiang Chen: “Be normal.”

    Seeing that his expression didn’t look like he was joking, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but sit upright, his face stopped laughing and joking, and he said in a serious tone: “Cheng Yuxin, I’m serious.”

    Cheng Yuxin immediately showed an understanding expression.

    Yes, no one is serious about making money.

    But he didn’t want to tell the truth, so he nodded and said, “It depends on your performance.”

    Hearing what he said, Jiang Chen thought that the other party understood his thoughts to some extent, and immediately regained his energy and said with a smile: “Then, my dear, is it time to eat?”

    Cheng Yuxin suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball.

    ——What I just said was all in vain.

    Since they couldn’t communicate, they stopped communicating. Cheng Yuxin didn’t say a word and just picked up the vegetables. He ate whatever Jiang Chen gave him. After the meal, he was not only full, but even satisfied – this dish was really delicious!

    It seems that this is not just an internet celebrity store with empty shelves, the owner has something special.Cheng Yuxin thought silently.

    Seeing that he was quite happy with his meal, Jiang Chen became more courageous and said bluntly: “Cheng Yuxin, I always feel that the relationship between us is closer than friends.”

    Cheng Yuxin felt much better after eating, and she had the patience to communicate with him again: “What gave you this illusion?”

    Illusion?Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said: “It’s not an illusion!”

    “You’ve been working really hard these days, so I’ll give you a bonus tomorrow, so you won’t say anything like this again.” In Cheng Yuxin’s view, all politeness and hypocrisy between partners are for money.

    Since money can solve the problem, he doesn’t want to waste extra energy.

    Jiang Chen’s face instantly turned pale, and he finally realized that in Cheng Yuxin’s eyes, all his overtures and confessions were nothing more than a means to obtain benefits.

    ——Because of the contract.

    Jiang Chen gritted his teeth tightly, using too much force and making a squeaking sound.But even so, my heart still couldn’t suppress the feeling of sadness.

    “Cheng Yuxin, I don’t want money.” Jiang Chen exhaled forcefully, as if he had exhausted all his strength, but the words he spoke were so pale and feeble.

    Cheng Yuxin raised her eyebrows in a funny way, as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world: “You don’t want money? Then you can treat me to dinner today.”

    “Not just tonight, all your expenses in Yucheng will be borne by me.” Jiang Chen tensed his back, as if there was an invisible string pulling his whole body up.As long as Cheng Yuxin made a random movement, the strings could break and his whole body would break apart.

    “Although he is average in his work, he is very good at being a person.” Cheng Yuxin said with a fair assessment.

    “Really?” A mechanical smile slowly appeared on Jiang Chen’s face.

    Cheng Yuxin looked strange, but still didn’t take it to heart.

    Problems that money can solve are not problems.

    Even if he had a falling out with his family, he never worried about money.What’s more, even if he really has no money, Mr. Cheng can’t just watch his only child in trouble.

    Cheng Yuxin had full confidence, so she answered very straightforwardly: “You know what your plan is. We are all sensible people, and it would be pointless to explain it. Since you want to express yourself so much, then I will give you this opportunity.”

    Jiang Chen couldn’t help but nodded repeatedly, even if the other party misunderstood him a lot.But as long as you are willing to give it a chance, there is still hope.

    “Then the first stop tonight, Cheng Yuxin, let’s go.”

    As expected, Jiang Chen paid for the meal and pulled the person into the car without waiting for Cheng Yuxin to say anything.Yucheng is still lively at eight or nine o’clock, but there are no longer traffic jams.Therefore, Jiang Chen drove the people all the way without any obstruction and arrived at the destination in just ten minutes.

    Cheng Yuxin recognized this place at a glance. After all, it was one of the famous scenic spots in Yucheng. Cheng Yuxin had been there many times with classmates and friends as early as college.

    As a famous historical city with a long history and profound cultural heritage, Yucheng has countless famous attractions. In addition to Yucheng University, which is a pilgrimage site in everyone’s mind, the Yucheng moat is also famous far and wide.

    This is the place Jiang Chen brought people to.In Jiang Chen’s original plan, the moat was scheduled for the second night.However, accidents happened frequently on the first day. First I went to the hospital, and then there was a scene at dinner.

    Jiang Chen was afraid that Cheng Yuxin would not want to travel with him if something happened again, so he changed his mind and brought people here.

    The moat of Yucheng relies on its cultural foundation and balances the various needs of modern technology and commercial development. It is now a bustling and bustling scene.Cruise ships on the river come and go in an orderly manner, and classical buildings on the riverbank are lined up along the river.Jiang Chen had done some planning in advance and knew that the best way to appreciate and experience the moat is to take a cruise. Only by being between the moats can you appreciate the true scenery of the river and the city.

    So Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate at all, and led the people straight towards the ticket pier.

    Because Jiang Chen was well prepared, he was very calm and at ease along the way.But Cheng Yu knew nothing at all, yet he still looked familiar, as if he had expected it.

    Jiang Chen’s mind suddenly moved and he thought of something: “Have you been here before?”

    Even though it is a working day, the number of visitors to the moat cannot be underestimated.The crowd was so noisy that Cheng Yuxin couldn’t hear clearly what Jiang Chen said for a moment.

    Jiang Chen squeezed next to Cheng Yuxin, leaned over and shouted in Cheng Yuxin’s ear: “Have you been here before?”

    Cheng Yuxin was not disturbed by the tourists, but Jiang Chen made her head hurt. She calmly took a step back, but almost collided with other tourists.Cheng Yuxin had to stop retreating and looked helplessly at the instigator, as if looking at a fool: “I went to college in Yucheng.” Cheng Yuxin said slowly one word at a time.

    Cheng Yuxin’s voice was not loud, but she spoke very slowly, so Jiang Chen could still hear her clearly.

    Jiang Chen bared his teeth and smiled: “Since you have been here, are you willing to be my tour guide?”

    Cheng Yuxin snorted coldly: “There is a smart tour guide on the ship.”

    Jiang Chen actually knew this. Not only did he know that there was a smart tour guide on the ship, he also found out while doing the guide that private rooms could be reserved on the ship.But his original reservation was for a private room for tomorrow night. Due to an impromptu decision tonight, all the private rooms facing the river have been reserved, so they can only enjoy the night view in the lobby or deck.

    Jiang Chen felt a little regretful.He also thought that if he could be with Cheng Yuxin in the future, he would have many opportunities to make up for this regret.

    So he regained his morale and said: “I’m not interested in tour guides, I’m only interested in you.”

    Cheng Yuxin was not surprised by this. She just gave the person a cold look and continued to follow the flow of people to the ticket pier.

    Jiang Chen bought the tickets for the two of them, and while waiting for the security check, he saw Cheng Yuxin lying on the railing, looking at the moat as if he was in a trance.

    Cheng Yuxin was indeed distracted.The last time he came to Moat was the day before the graduation ceremony.In fact, he originally only wanted to come with Lin Leshu, but Lin Leshu didn’t understand his intention, so he naturally called Zhou Wei and Li Xiang before setting off.

    The moat in summer is more densely populated with tourists than in winter.Four tall male college students moved cautiously and difficultly in the crowd, fearing that someone might accidentally bump into an old, weak, sick or disabled person and cause trouble.

    Cheng Yuxin walked last and was not happy.

    He actually expected that Yilin Leshu’s temper would definitely call out all the members in the dormitory.

    But he still wasn’t happy.

    Lin Leshu, who was walking at the front, seemed to notice something unusual about him and suddenly stopped in place.

    Cheng Yuxin also wanted to stop, but the crowd still pushed him forward.In this way, he was getting closer and closer to Lin Leshu, getting closer and closer…

    “Cheng Cheng,” Lin Leshu put an arm on his shoulder, “You can come back anyway if you want. As long as you are still in Yucheng, I will stay with you for one day!” Lin Leshu misunderstood his depression as reluctance to leave his alma mater before graduation, and patiently and thoughtfully enlightened him.

    Cheng Yuxin had no rebuttal and was unable to do so, so she nodded regardless of her mistake.

    Seeing that his mood was relatively stable, Lin Leshu said nothing more, put her arm around his shoulders and walked towards the other two roommates.

    When Zhou Wei and Li Xiang lined up to buy tickets, Lin Leshu kept her arms around Cheng Yuxin’s shoulders and stayed with him.

    He probably knew that no matter what he said with his own IQ, he could not convince the smart youngest.Just say nothing, just use silent companionship to relieve the other person’s separation anxiety.

    At that time, Cheng Yuxin was just like he is now, staring blankly at the surging river.The hot summer evening breeze blew on Cheng Yuxin’s face, making his dry eyes almost shed tears.

    Cheng Yuxin forgot whether she cried.Probably not. If he cried, Lin Leshu would not forget it.

    The winter night wind blew, and Cheng Yu sneezed suddenly.

    As he was trembling, someone held him in his arms, which was broad and warm.

    Cheng Yuxin looked up and saw a familiar face.

    “Is it still cold?” Jiang Chen asked as he took out a tissue, as if he wanted to help him wipe his nose.

    Cheng Yuxin was speechless and shy, and turned away lightly, but failed to let the others succeed.

    Jiang Chen smiled lightly because of his childish action, and put the tissue into Cheng Yuxin’s hand without hesitation, “Wipe it, we will be here soon.”
