Chapter 916: 667 May you come without mishap.

Bai Haoran stayed in Haojiang, and Jiang Chen returned to East Sea.

He should have returned home in high spirits, a trip laden with success, but before he could share his achievements from Haojiang with his brothers, he heard some news at Tianci Capital that instantly erased the smile from Jiang Chen’s face.

"When did it happen?"

The office.

All four roommates of the dorm were present.

Luo Peng, previously carefree and nonchalant, looked solemn as he spoke, "I think it was last year."

"Where is senior Cheng now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Ask Shao Geer."

Jiang Chen turned to the former dormitory leader and now head of HR, Li Shao.

"He should still be in East Sea. Senior Cheng said he would stay for about half a month this time."

"For such a major event, why didn’t senior Cheng inform us at the time?" Bai Zheli spoke in a low voice.

His figure was still slender, but he had replaced the simple black-framed glasses with gold-rimmed ones. Paired with a tailor-made suit, his whole demeanor had undergone a significant change from the timid and shy youth he once was.

"We hadn’t graduated yet last year. Everyone knows what kind of person senior Cheng is. He never liked to trouble others."

Luo Peng spoke softly, "And not everyone likes to expose their scars. If Shao Geer hadn’t casually asked, senior Cheng probably wouldn’t have mentioned it."

"Jiang Chen, Senior Cheng helped us a lot when he was in school. I think we should..."

Li Shao hinted.

Cheng Jianxin.

Dong University graduate.

Two classes above Jiang Chen and the others.

In other words,

When Jiang Chen and the others were freshmen, he was a junior.

Because of his academic excellence and good character, Cheng Jianxin became involved in the student union in his sophomore year and often took care of juniors and freshmen.

Jiang Chen and his peers were no exception, and they had all received help from him to some extent.

Especially Jiang Chen.

In the application for scholarships, Cheng Jianxin could be said to have done everything in his power to assist.

"Shao Geer, please make the arrangements."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Okay, I’ll contact Senior Cheng."

After Li Shao and Bai Zheli left, Luo Peng remained immersed in a melancholic mood.

"Peace is indeed a blessing," he said deeply, unable to hold back, "Ouyang senior sister was such a good person, and she and senior Cheng loved each other so much. How could they have encountered such misfortune? Jiang Chen, do you think that sometimes heaven is just too blind?"

Ouyang senior sister, mentioned by Luo Peng, was also a Dong University graduate working in the student union. The two fell in love on campus and after graduating, they smoothly entered into marriage.

Originally,

This should have been a story passed down through generations as a beautiful tale, but fate did not grant them longevity.

Shortly after their wedding, they were involved in a car accident.

"Ouyang senior sister was pregnant at the time, a loss of two lives..."

Luo Peng was typically an optimist, even perceived as heartless at times, not taking stuff to heart. Even after consecutive emotional failures with Luo Li’er and teacher Koda Kaoru, he would only be down for a while before quickly bouncing back as if nothing had happened,

But now, he seemed genuinely empathetic when recalling this tragedy.

Regarding that senior sister, Jiang Chen still remembered her smiling face—she was not particularly beautiful, but quiet and gentle. Unlike his relationship with Ai Qian, those two were known as the golden couple in school, even many teachers blessed them.

"Remember to keep your emotions in check when the time comes."

Luo Peng shook his head with a sigh, "Don’t worry, I know."

At sunset, Jiang Chen left the office and headed back to Spring and Autumn Plaza, deliberately passing by Pei Yunxi’s villa.

In Haojiang, Pei Yunxi had specifically asked him to take care of Luo Li’er, but now it wasn’t the weekend, and there were no lights on in the villa. That girl was probably at school.

Without stopping, Jiang Chen drove home. To be precise, he went to the mansion he had purchased for Li Shuru.

The timing was perfect.

Li Shuru had just finished preparing a table full of dishes, still wearing an apron,

He Yihui asked him what it felt like to be in love with someone.

After a dismal end to his first love, Jiang Chen felt he might not be fully qualified to answer this question. Nevertheless, it was undeniable that upon seeing this scene, he felt a faint warmth at the bottom of his heart.

"Your culinary skills have gotten more and more exquisite."

"Why are you alone? Where are Luo Peng and the others?"

Li Shuru took off her apron.

For the average Joe, having a cool and independent goddess personally prepare soup for them should already count as life’s ultimate dream.

"They’re not in a good mood, so they didn’t come."

This whole table, with seven or eight dishes, was definitely not prepared for me alone.

Jiang Chen laughed lightly, "But don’t worry, I definitely won’t let your efforts go to waste, I can finish all of it by myself."

"Is it because things aren’t going smoothly in Haojiang?"

Li Shuru served the rice.

"No, it has nothing to do with that."

Jiang Chen sat down.

If the students from Dong University saw this scene, their goddess in the kitchen also serving rice, they’d probably die of jealousy. But Jiang Chen felt perfectly entitled, and Li Shuru seemed to take it for granted, or rather, enjoyed it as if it were just the beginning,

"It’s about a senior couple we knew before..."

Jiang Chen briefly recounted the story, "We planned to invite Senior Cheng for a meal."

He looked at Li Shuru, "Let’s go together."

Li Shuru shook her head, "It’s not really appropriate for me to go to your reunion."

"There’s nothing inappropriate about it, Senior Cheng is a very nice person, he’s also very enthusiastic and has helped me a lot in the past."

"I know."

Li Shuru picked up her chopsticks, her cheeks serene, "But after all, they have encountered such a misfortune, they might not have completely recovered from the pain. If you bring me along, is it to show off our affection?"

Jiang Chen was speechless.

"And they probably wouldn’t want to expose their vulnerabilities to just anyone."

Girls are indeed attentive.

He hadn’t considered these details at all.

"Let’s eat, you said it yourself, you’re going to finish all these dishes."

Li Shuru picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork rib for him.

Taking a bath and getting into bed.

Jiang Chen leaned back in bed, gazing at the ceiling, deep in thought, not even disturbed by the trickling sound of water from the bathroom.

"Click."

The bathroom door opened.

Li Shuru, with her hair up, stepped out wrapped in a bath towel, flipped back the covers, and climbed into bed.

The bath towel fell to the floor.

The conflicting sensations of coolness and warmth were transmitted through the skin.

Jiang Chen wrapped that smooth and delicate body into his arms, then tightened the blankets around them.

Li Shuru nestled against him, "Still thinking about that senior?"

"Why can’t lovers stay together until the end of their days?"

Jiang Chen murmured softly.

"People have their joys and sorrows, and the moon has its phases; such perfection is difficult through the ages."

Li Shuru raised her head, "That’s why sometimes you don’t need to force forever. Just being unharmed is enough."

Not seeking forever, but hoping for no harm.

Jiang Chen bowed his head.

Underneath a blanket of white down.

A delicate hand traced down Jiang Chen’s chest, moving past his abdomen, waist, and finally stopping.

Jiang Chen’s expression tightened, his emotions suddenly peeled away from the whirlwind.

Their eyes met.

Jiang Chen warned, "Be gentle."

"Haojiang is said to be a paradise for men, you must have had a fulfilling time there, right?"

Jiang Chen wore a face of earnest martyrdom, "I admit, there were many temptresses who wanted to take advantage of me, but my heart remained still as water, and I firmly refused."

"Is that so."

Li Shuru didn’t smile.

"Let me verify that."

Verify?

How to verify?

Jiang Chen hadn’t reacted yet when he felt the girl coil around him like a beautiful serpent, rubbing and sliding down his body.
