The next morning, when Jiang Shanghan left the room, Jiang Chuning was already standing at his door, waving to him with a smile on his face: "Good morning."
Jiang Shanghan said: "You got up so early?"
Jiang Chuning said: "I want to have breakfast with you."
She had been waiting here before dawn, fearing that he would leave while she was still sleeping.
Jiang Shanghan didn't say anything and raised his legs to move forward.
Jiang Chuning followed him and spoke one after another: "When will you return to Jiangzhou?
Can I stay here for a few more days?
There is a very beautiful lake in our school. If you have time, can you go shopping with me?"
Jiang Shanghan stood in front of the elevator: "I have to leave this afternoon and don't have time."
The smile on Jiang Chuning's face became a little lighter, but it quickly recovered and continued to ask: "Then can we have lunch together?"
Jiang Shanghan looked at her sideways and said slowly: "After breakfast, you should go back to school."
"I know, but I..."
At this time, the elevator door opened, and there was a foreign couple inside.
Jiang Chuning lowered his head and followed Jiang Shanghan into the elevator.
Just breakfast, it's better than nothing.
Sitting in the restaurant, Jiang Chuning ate as slowly as he wanted.
Jiang Shanghan glanced at the time and reminded: "You have half an hour to go to class."
Hearing this, Jiang Chuning reluctantly picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth: "I'm fine."
The snow outside has stopped and it has been mostly swept away.
The whole city looks like an ice and snow kingdom that only appears in anime.
Jiang Chuning sat in the car strangely, enjoying this rare minute and second.
After a while, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Shanghan: "Will you come to see me again in the future?"
Jiang Shanghan said calmly: "I'm here to handle the work."
Jiang Chuning said "Oh" and asked in a different way: "Then when will you come to Switzerland to handle work?"
"Not anymore."
"Why?"
Jiang Shanghan looked out the window: "The cooperation has not been concluded."
Jiang Chuning looked at his side face, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the school.
Jiang Chuning opened the car door, walked down for two steps, then turned back, bent down in front of the car window, and almost begged: "I'll run out as fast as I can after class at noon. I won't keep you waiting for too long.
Can you pick me up for lunch?”
Jiang Shanghan said: "Ning Ning, even if I have lunch, I will leave."
"I know."
Jiang Chuning's voice was choked uncontrollably, "But I just want to stay with you for a little longer..."
Jiang Shanghan said: "It's time for you to go to class."
Jiang Chuning held the car window open, biting her lower lip tightly, her eyes slowly turned red, and tears fell silently.
Jiang Shanghan closed his eyes, raised his hand to wipe away her tears, and softened his voice: "Ning Ning, we can just say goodbye here."
Jiang Chuning held his hand: "Then can you kiss me?"
Afraid of his rejection, she added in a low voice: "Just like last night."
After Jiang Shanghan was silent for two seconds, his thin lips fell on her eyebrows and whispered: "Ning Ning, remember, no matter when or under what circumstances, I will never hurt you."
Jiang Chuning was already immersed in this simplest kiss, and didn't notice what he said at all. The corners of his lips gradually raised, and he nodded towards him. After taking a few steps back, he waved to him, turned around and ran in.
to school.
Even the back looks happy and excited.
It wasn't until her figure disappeared from sight that Jiang Shanghan looked away and said softly: "Drive."
Throughout the whole day, Jiang Chuning was in a good mood and bounced around when she walked. Even the classmates around her were curious about what happy thing happened to her.
When she came home from get out of class in the afternoon and saw the maid waiting for her at the door, she immediately calmed down a bit and used the excuse she had prepared to deal with it: "My classmate threw a party for me last night, and he didn't come back because it was too late. , I sent a message to my dad and said..."
The servant nodded slightly to her: "Miss, we can go."
Jiang Chuning's face was filled with confusion: "Let's go?
where to?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the neatly packed house and several suitcases.
Jiang Chuning was slightly startled: "Are we going back to Jiangzhou?"
"Yes, the plane arranged by Master is already waiting for us."
After finally waiting for this day, Jiang Chuning was not as happy as she imagined. She frowned and said: "Why did you go back suddenly? My father didn't call me, and..."
And her father said that he would wait until her studies in Switzerland were completed.
And over there in Jiangzhou.
Thinking of this, she suddenly said: "Did something happen to the Jiang family?"
The servant replied: "The old man has passed away, and Miss Jiang has to rush back to attend the funeral."
The servant pulled up the suitcase and said, "Miss Jiang, let's go. If it's later, it'll be too late."
Until she got on the plane, Jiang Chuning was still in a daze, not believing what she just heard.
Grandpa must be lying to her again...
as usual.
When she returns to Jiangzhou, she will definitely see a healthy great-grandfather.
During the more than ten hours of flight time, Jiang Chuning could not sleep for a moment.
After returning home, she rushed in: "Dad, great-grandpa..."
She called several times, but no one responded.
Jiang Chuning ran into Mrs. Jiang's room again: "Grandpa, I'm back to see you. Grandpa, where are you?"
The whole room was empty and there was a chill in it.
"Ning Ning."
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Jiang Chuning turned his head sharply, the joy on his face fleeting, and then stepped forward and said: "Dad, where is my great-grandpa, has he gone for a walk?"
We haven't seen him for just a few months, and Jiang Jingyao seems to have aged a few years, with gray hair growing on his temples.
He patted Jiang Chuning's hand and said tiredly: "Ningning, your great-grandfather has passed away..."
Jiang Chuning burst into tears instantly: "I don't believe that my great-grandpa is in such good health!"
"Don't worry, he passed away peacefully."
Jiang Jingyao said, "Ningning, dad has told you before that aging, sickness and death are normal things. Not only grandpa, dad will also leave you sooner or later.
Your great-grandfather is so old. It’s a time of joy and mourning, so you don’t have to be sad.”
"But...but..." Jiang Chuning choked, "But I didn't even have time to take one last look at him..."
"Grandpa knows your thoughts."
Jiang Chuning threw herself into Jiang Jingyao's arms and burst into tears.
Jiang Jingyao comforted him: "Okay Ningning, you are an adult now. Dad won't say anything more. You go upstairs and change your clothes. It's time for us to attend your great-grandfather's funeral."
