 Chapter 95 Learn to Adapt

"I heard that Ah si left the prepared feast at home for you, so I came to see you." Gu Mingmei sat down on the chair by the bed, originally teasing her, but stopped when she saw the cold sweat on her face, handing her a handkerchief. "Did you have a nightmare?" Her tone showed a hint of concern. Jiang Chenchen took the handkerchief and nodded, still feeling a bit shadowed at the moment. "And Mr. Sheng? Where is he?" She wanted to know where Sheng Mingsi was, and if, like in the dream, he would ignore her after getting a girlfriend. "You still call him Mr. Sheng?" Gu Mingmei couldn't understand what her proud little brother was up to. "He just went out for something. He's much busier than me. The entire business of the conglomerate is on his shoulders. I heard he's been here all day. Even so, you still call him Mr. Sheng?" Jiang Chenchen felt uneasy hearing this. "Did I affect him?" Gu Mingmei smirked, "There's definitely an impact, but he's willing." Then she asked, "Are you hungry? I brought bone soup for you. Drink it while it's hot." She added two extra pillows for her, making them higher since she was lying down. Then she opened the thermos, filled a bowl of hot soup, and handed it over. "Come on, drink while it's hot." Bringing soup to someone in the middle of the night was indeed strange. But Jiang Chenchen happened to be hungry and didn't find anything wrong. Meeting her eager gaze, she nodded and took a spoonful, drinking it down. Suddenly, Sheng Mingsi appeared at the door and raised his voice, "Don't drink." But she had already taken a sip. Seeing her annoying brother trying to spoil the scene again, Gu Mingmei ignored him and continued to look at Jiang Chenchen eagerly. "How is it? Is it good?" Jiang Chenchen looked at the soup in the bowl, silent for half a minute, and then said, "It's okay." "It's okay, right!" Gu Mingmei's eyes were full of hope, feeling that she could immediately tear off the label of "dark cuisine" and crush the words "not tasty" underfoot! Sheng Mingsi walked in, his mouth twitching. "You're thinking too much. It's just a euphemistic expression of 'not tasty.'" He reached to take the soup bowl from Jiang Chenchen, "Don't force yourself to drink this." But Jiang Chenchen held the bowl tightly and looked at him, saying, "No force." Sheng Mingsi: ? Gu Mingmei: ? Gu Mingmei raised her eyes lightly and looked at Jiang Chenchen. "What does this mean, Jiang Chenchen?" But Jiang Chenchen looked at Sheng Mingsi and said, "Mr. Sheng, this was made by Manager Gu for me. You can't drink it." Sheng Mingsi: ? Finding excuses, huh? Jiang Chenchen felt that when someone made soup for her, it was a sign of care. Even if it didn't taste good, it was a gesture of goodwill that she couldn't ignore. Gu Mingmei didn't find anything wrong; she just felt that the girl in front of her looked more and more pleasing to the eye. No wonder Ah si chose her. "Since you think it's good, I'll pour the remaining soup from the thermos for you." Sheng Mingsi frowned and reached to stop her, "It's too late. Drinking too much at this hour is not good for digestion." Gu Mingmei looked at him, full of scrutiny, "Ah si, do you have to control even this?" "You can think of it that way." "Too much male chauvinism. No one would like that." Gu Mingmei snorted lightly, then turned to Jiang Chenchen with a bright smile. Turning to approach Sheng Mingsi, she lowered her voice, "She's young now. Maybe she'll figure it out and leave a man like you in the future." Sheng Mingsi's eyes darkened, "You talk too much." "Yeah! Unpleasant truths." Gu Mingmei packed up and stood up cheerfully. "Since someone here finds me annoying, I'll leave. Oh..." She bent down near Jiang Chenchen and whispered in her ear, "Don't call him Mr. Sheng; just call him by his name, Ah si. He'll like it." After saying this, she looked at Jiang Chenchen, who was in a daze, couldn't help but poke her forehead. "How can there be such a naive girl!" Before leaving, she said, "Next time, I invite you to have dinner at my place." Finally, she left. Sheng Mingsi's furrowed brow relaxed slightly. "Ignore whatever she says." He moved the pillows for her, making her more comfortable. "Ah si... Brother." Jiang Chenchen found it a bit hard to just call his name and didn't know where to start about the girlfriend in the dream. She remained silent. Seeing this, Sheng Mingsi asked, "What's wrong?" Jiang Chenchen shook her head, "Nothing, Brother Ah si, you should go home and rest. I can stay here by myself." He had been here for so long; he must be tired. She reached to turn on the light, "I'll read a book." Xia Changli brought many books, and she had been studying even during her time in the hospital. Sheng Mingsi's gaze swept across her face, and he restrained his expression. "Since that's the case, I'll leave. If you need anything, call me." For two consecutive days, Sheng Mingsi felt that Jiang Chenchen seemed to have something on her mind, but she didn't say anything. He couldn't ask even though he saw it. He even remembered what Gu Mingmei had said; one day she might wake up, gain more experience, and might leave him. On the day of discharge, the doctor specifically advised her to rest at home, and she could use hot compresses or salt packs. While Xia Changli helped her with the hot compress, she also noticed that she seemed troubled. "Chenchen, what's wrong these days? Did you have a quarrel with Mr. Sheng?" Jiang Chenchen shook her head, "No, I just think that one day I'll have to leave here, leave him, and it makes me a little sad." "It's normal. Once people have emotions they can't let go of, they become like this." Xia Changli said, "Consider this time as an adjustment and buffering period. You have to learn to adapt to these changes." Seeing her still gloomy, Xia Changli continued, "But don't worry too much. You can call or message anytime. As long as you want to contact, there are always ways." After thinking about it, Jiang Chenchen decided she would have to face that day eventually, so she might as well start getting used to it. Therefore, when Sheng Mingsi talked about some things related to starting school, Jiang Chenchen applied to stay in the dormitory. Sheng Mingsi's dark eyes became even deeper, and he suppressed his voice, "You want to stay in the dormitory?" Is the day of departure finally coming?
