"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~"
Just as the two were kissing passionately, the doorbell rang.
Hearing the noise, Qiao Jingjing quickly pushed Chen Cheng, who was pressing down on her.
Blushing, she said, "That should be Little Zhu."
Chen Cheng smiled helplessly. Little Zhu, you have certainly come at the perfect time. He raised an eyebrow and said, "I'll go open the door."
Qiao Jingjing nodded shyly, "Mm."
Watching Chen Cheng get up, Qiao Jingjing also sat up and straightened her slightly messy top.
Chen Cheng opened the door, froze upon seeing who was at the doorway, and turned his head to call into the room, "Jingjing~"
A man in a suit was standing at the doorway.
The man was also stunned when he saw Chen Cheng, and said in disbelief, "Mr. Chen?"
Chen Cheng frowned slightly, "You know me?"
Su Zhi nodded gently, "I've seen reports about you."
At this moment, Qiao Jingjing came out, "What's..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Qiao Jingjing's face froze.
Her eyes stared blankly at Su Zhi, who was standing at the doorway.
Su Zhi felt a bit awkward being stared at by the two of them. He raised an eyebrow and explained, "I saw the lights on when I was passing by, so..."
Qiao Jingjing frowned, with an expression as if she were constipated. So what?
Su Zhi glanced at Qiao Jingjing, then at Chen Cheng, forcing a smile on his face, "Sorry to bother you."
After speaking, he nodded at Chen Cheng and walked toward the elevator.
Qiao Jingjing took a deep breath, glared angrily at the figure in the elevator lobby, and shut the door.
Chen Cheng looked at the angry Qiao Jingjing, the corners of his mouth curling up as he teased, "Ex-boyfriend?"
A flush of red rose on Qiao Jingjing's face. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she nodded, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum, "Mm~"
After speaking, she took a breath and, feigning composure, explained, "We broke up two years ago."
Chen Cheng reached out and put his arm around her waist, "Actually, you don't need to explain to me."
Feeling the touch on her waist, Qiao Jingjing's fair face turned even redder.
"Mm~"
Just as the two were gradually finding their way back into that intimate atmosphere.
"Jingjing~ Jingjing~"
Little Zhu opened the door and came in.
"I was just downstairs..." Before she could finish, Little Zhu's eyes widened.
Have these two progressed this quickly?
Are they already... hugging?
"Teacher Chen..." A subtle, doting smile appeared at the corners of Little Zhu's mouth.
Qiao Jingjing hurriedly took a step back, her face flushed with red.
She raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear to hide her embarrassment, "Ahem~"
"How could he get up here? Wasn't the elevator fingerprint access deleted?"
Little Zhu pursed her lips, "But there's still a passcode... The passcode was originally changed, but you kept forgetting the new one, so it was... changed back."
Qiao Jingjing was almost crying at her own stupidity and rolled her eyes in frustration.
After thinking about it, she said, "Then help me change the elevator passcode to 1319, so I won't forget it."
Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. This set of numbers was the match record Qiao Jingjing had shown him this morning.
13 kills, only one death, and nine assists.
Little Zhu nodded, "Mm, okay, I'll go to the property management office to change it now."
After speaking, Little Zhu left with a doting smile, giving Chen Cheng an ambiguous look before turning to leave.
Being interrupted twice, the atmosphere for tonight was completely ruined.
Chen Cheng smiled and spoke to break the somewhat silent atmosphere, "Let's go, let's go back and continue watching the match."
Qiao Jingjing nodded and grabbed the hand Chen Cheng extended toward her.
Following close behind Chen Cheng, Qiao Jingjing looked at the large hand holding hers, and the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.
She was jubilant.
Returning to the media room, the two sat side by side and continued watching the match.
While listening to the commentary, Chen Cheng explained the team fight and operational strategies.
Until almost nine o'clock.
Qiao Jingjing turned off the game recording and turned to look at Chen Cheng.
She sat up very straight, blinked her eyes, and began to explain her relationship with Su Zhi.
"About that."
"I was only with that person for about half a year."
"One day, he suddenly told me that his family didn't like my profession."
"He wanted me to quit the entertainment industry. Then, he would tell his family about our relationship."
"But who is Qiao Jingjing? I wasn't going to take that kind of attitude from him."
"I just said, my family doesn't like people in business either."
"The risks are high, and they go bankrupt at the drop of a hat."
"'Why don't you quit your job first? Otherwise, my family won't agree to it either.'"
Remembering that Chen Cheng also seemed to be in business now, she added, "I was lying to him; my family wouldn't object to my boyfriend's profession."
Chen Cheng held her hands, the corners of his mouth lifting, "And then you two broke up?"
Qiao Jingjing nodded obediently, "Mm-hmm~"
Chen Cheng chuckled, raised his hand to stroke her cheek, a smile on his lips: "That's pretty good, isn't it? Otherwise, Student Qiao Jingjing would have missed out on the handsome me."
"Hmph~" Qiao Jingjing rolled her eyes at him, "Narcissist~"
Qiao Jingjing blinked her eyes and asked, "What about you? What about your ex-girlfriend?"
Uh...
Alright, so you were waiting for me here, huh?
Chen Cheng looked at Qiao Jingjing's big, round eyes and couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.
Aren't you going to ask if I have a current girlfriend?
Chen Cheng's eyes darted around quickly.
Forget it, whatever. She only asked about ex-girlfriends, so it's fine for a buddy like me to answer about ex-girlfriends, right?
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, "A rock climber. We broke up after I went to Angel City."
Qiao Jingjing asked suspiciously, "You didn't date anyone after going to Angel City?"
Chen Cheng pursed his lips. She's not easy to fool.
He shook his head slightly, "It didn't really count as dating."
"What do you mean it didn't count as dating?" Qiao Jingjing's eyes widened.
"It just means we didn't announce our relationship publicly," Chen Cheng rubbed his nose awkwardly, "She's an actress too."
Qiao Jingjing's expression suddenly fell, "From Hollywood?"
Chen Cheng nodded.
"Who?"
Being grilled by her, Chen Cheng felt a little annoyed, but he still forced a smile, "You're the one who asked me to say it. You're not allowed to get angry."
Qiao Jingjing agreed readily, "Mm, I won't get angry, go ahead."
Chen Cheng pursed his lips. With that look, it would be strange if she weren't angry.
"Allie."
Seeing Qiao Jingjing's hands clench, Scum Cheng immediately began to explain, "We broke up before I returned to the country."
"Why? Isn't Allie quite pretty? She's known as America's Sweetheart."
Chen Cheng could just smell the sourness in the air. A smile hung on his lips as he leaned in toward her face, meeting her eyes, "Are you jealous?"
"No way, who would be jealous of her?" Qiao Jingjing snorted and turned her head to the side, then muttered softly, "She's not as pretty as me anyway."
Chen Cheng looked at her cute, jealous demeanor and couldn't help but smile.
He reached out, pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and comforted her softly, "Alright, ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends are all in the past, aren't they?"
"Now, my beautiful, generous, and stunning Jingjing is my true love."
These words, you can listen to them, but in a turn, Scum Cheng could also say them to Zou Yu, Han Su, Guan Juer, Ye Zhenzhen, Lucy, Zhu Zhe, Anna...
