Chapter 162 Attending Gao Xuanyi's Birthday Party

weekend.

After the four roommates arrived at the gathering place, Gao Xuanyi arranged for the other three to wait on a sofa because she needed to change clothes.

The dazzling chandeliers on the banquet hall ceiling made Jiang Chengcheng's eyes uncomfortable.

This was her first time attending such a formal party. Although she was busy with work before, she never had the chance to attend social events.

Jiang Chengcheng, Liu Xixi, and Huang Qing grabbed drinks and desserts in the common area and sat down on a sofa in the corner to chat.

"My goodness, Xuan Yi is really hiding her true abilities. I thought she was just like my family, middle class!" Even Huang Qing, who is usually very composed, couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the magnificent scene in front of him.

"Haha, I didn't expect Xuan Yi to be so low-key." Liu Xixi's family is a wealthy family in Hong Kong, so she was calmer than Huang Qing.

"Chengcheng, aren't you surprised?" Huang Qing looked at Jiang Chengcheng, who was silently eating dessert, and felt a little strange.

Judging from the other party's expression, it seemed that they already knew about Gao Xuanyi's background.

"I came here with her once when school started." Jiang Chengcheng wasn't deliberately hiding it from the two of them, but she wasn't the type to gossip and tell everyone that Gao Xuanyi's family was rich.

"Oh, I see." Liu Xixi and Huang Qing both had an "I see" expression on their faces.

"Hello, it's nice to see you again."

"You must be Xuan Yi's roommates? I'm Xuan Yi's brother, Gao Jingshen. There are quite a few people here today, so please forgive me if there's anything I haven't done well in terms of hospitality." Just as the group was chatting, a sudden voice came from behind Jiang Chengcheng. She turned around and saw that it was Gao Xuan Yi's brother, Gao Jingshen.

"Hello."

Jiang Chengcheng recognized the person who had arrived, and together with Liu Xixi and Huang Qing, she stood up and nodded slightly as a greeting.

"You don't mind if I come and sit for a while, do you?" Gao Jingshen asked again with a smile.

moment.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Liu Xixi replied.

"do not mind."

This is someone else's home; it wouldn't be very polite for them to refuse outright.

The group initially thought the other party was just coming to say hello and be polite, but unexpectedly, Gao Jingshen called Zhu Linqing, who was not far away, to sit down with them.

what's the situation?

Liu Xixi secretly cast an inquiring glance at Huang Qing and Jiang Chengcheng.

Huang Qing and Jiang Chengcheng shook their heads at each other with puzzled expressions.

The relaxed atmosphere among the group was disrupted by Gao Jingshen's actions, which made things somewhat inexplicable.

"You're Xuanyi's classmate, may I call you Chengcheng?" Gao Jingshen broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere among them by speaking first.

“Um…okay…” Jiang Chengcheng nodded politely upon hearing this.

The fact that Gao Jingshen's eyes were practically glued to Jiang Chengcheng the whole time made Liu Xixi and Huang Qing realize something.

The two exchanged a glance, then secretly took out their phones and started sending messages.

Hong Kong Sister is the best: What's going on? Xuan Yi's gaze towards Cheng Cheng is practically dripping with lust?!

The number one on the Cloud City Mushroom God Ranking: I don't know π_π, did you hit it off?

Hong Kong Sister is the best: It's unlikely. I don't think Chengcheng is very interested.

The number one on the Cloud City Mushroom God Ranking: So we're just going to stand by and watch? Like a third wheel.

The coolest girl in Hong Kong: What's there to be afraid of? It's a good opportunity to observe Chengcheng! So she won't get scammed out of her money and her virtue because she's so young!

"Ahem!" Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but cough lightly to remind Liu Xixi and Huang Qing, whose fingers were almost dry and smoking.

Don't leave her to deal with this alone, okay? She's really never seen anything like this before!

Just as Jiang Chengcheng was at a loss for what to do, her phone suddenly rang. Jiang Chengcheng felt like she had been granted a pardon and quickly took out her phone to look at Gao Jingshen and said...

"Um, you guys talk first, I'll take this call."

Without waiting for Gao Jingshen's reply, he walked towards the corridor outside the door.

Outside the long corridor.

Jiang Chengcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when she glanced at the caller ID, she was surprised to see that it was Sirius.

"Hello? Sirius? What's wrong?" Jiang Chengcheng glanced at her phone and realized it was just before 10 a.m., while it should only be a little after 4 a.m. in E country.

"I miss you. I just dreamt about you, but when I woke up I couldn't see anything, so I just wanted to talk to you for a while." Sirius on the other end of the phone seemed to have just woken up, and his voice was still a little hoarse.

"Really? I miss you too. I think about you every day! But... I'm afraid we won't be able to call or see each other for a long time." Jiang Chengcheng was happy to hear this, but her voice couldn't help but sound a little lonely.

The equipment provided by Consul General Li is almost in place, and even the assistants they found are well-known senior professors in China. It can be said that everything is ready except for the final push.

During the research and development period, there should be no contact with the outside world. As the chief engineer of the project, I cannot take the lead in violating the regulations.

"Why? Did something happen?" Sirius asked with concern, his voice filled with worry, and his drowsiness vanished completely.

"I can't reveal the reason, but it will take about a month. Don't worry, I'll contact you as soon as I get back," Jiang Chengcheng said, sensing the tension in Sirius's voice.

"Okay, remember to contact me then, or I'll worry about you." Sirius understood Jiang Chengcheng's implied meaning and didn't press further.

There was an unspoken understanding between the two: they would never inquire about important matters involving their respective countries, and in order to stay together for a long time, they would deliberately avoid such matters.

“Okay! Mr. Sirius, may I ask what you dreamed about?” Jiang Chengcheng was afraid that Sirius would be unhappy, so she chose to skip the topic.

"Cough...no...nothing..." For some reason, there was something wrong with Jiang Chengcheng's question, and Sirius's previously calm tone suddenly became a little strange.

"Huh? How can you say that without giving any specifics? Did you do something bad to me in my dream?" Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but tease Sirius when she heard his unusually unsettled tone.

“…No…no!” The usually calm and composed Sirius, upon hearing Jiang Chengcheng’s words, instantly turned into a cat whose tail had been stepped on and hurriedly denied it.

"Huh? Really? I don't believe it!" Jiang Chengcheng teased the other person, but she was secretly overjoyed, and her face was full of cheap smiles.

"Chengcheng, the banquet is about to start, aren't you going in?" Gao Jingshen saw Jiang Chengcheng with a big smile on her face as soon as he stepped out, talking on the phone with someone. Even if he was stupid, he could tell that something was wrong.

Does this mean she has someone she likes?

Given his pride, he should have turned and left once he had a suspicion, but Gao Jingshen just couldn't let it go.

He asked himself that apart from being the wrong age, he was good in every other way, so why couldn't he give it a try?

Emotion ultimately triumphed over reason. Even knowing that the person on the other end of the phone might be someone Jiang Chengcheng liked, Gao Jingshen couldn't help but interrupt their conversation.
