Chapter 251 Sirius's Arrival in China.

"Sirius, there's something else I need to tell you. I'll probably be very busy for a long time to come, so we'll likely be out of touch again." After much deliberation during the meal, Jiang Chengcheng finally revealed one of the purposes of her trip.

"Busy again? How long will it take this time?" In typical Sirius's personality, he wouldn't usually ask her about her work schedule, but since the two had recently been separated for a while and their professions often meant they didn't see each other often, Sirius finally couldn't help but ask.

"It might take about six months." Jiang Chengcheng pursed her lips, her face showing a hint of guilt. Six months was the limit she could achieve with the system cheat.

"........."

After a long silence, Sirius suddenly placed his hand on Jiang Chengcheng's head and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Although I'm very reluctant to part with you, there's nothing I can do. You must take good care of yourself there. I won't ask you anything else, but remember to think of me while you're working." After the two of them confirmed their relationship, Sirius had already prepared for Jiang Chengcheng to frequently lose contact. But now that he had actually experienced it, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant. After all, they were both made of flesh and blood, and not heartless.

"I know~ I will definitely miss you." No matter how powerful Jiang Chengcheng is outside, she is always like a little girl who knows how to act cute in front of Sirius.

The time together was always too short. Jiang Chengcheng stayed with Sirius for less than a week before receiving a message from above, and had no choice but to return to Beijing to prepare for the next six-month project.

This operation is much larger than the last one. In addition to some familiar faces, there are many more people involved in this project, but Jiang Chengcheng is not very familiar with any of them.

.........

Time flies, and another six months have passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Chengcheng has finally been "released" from her prison sentence in the massive project.

After saying goodbye to everyone, the first thing Jiang Chengcheng did upon returning to Beijing was to call Sirius. After all, she could see her family often, but Sirius hadn't been in contact for a full six months.

Time seemed to stand still. Jiang Chengcheng listened nervously to the dial tone on the phone, waiting for that hoarse response she hadn't heard in so long.

"Hello? Chengcheng, welcome back." As the phone suddenly connected, Sirius's gentle voice, trembling slightly, came from the other end of the line.

Six months later, Sirius had countless midnight dreams of Jiang Chengcheng's voice and face, but each time he woke up, his side was empty. Many times he really wanted to run to China to ask about her situation, but Sirius knew better than anyone that he couldn't, and he shouldn't...

So for all that time, Sirius had no choice but to live in endless longing.

“Sirius, I miss you so much…” Jiang Chengcheng looked at the sunlight shining on her face and thought of the afternoon when she met Sirius. The sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear.

a long time…

Just when Jiang Chengcheng thought that Sirius had not heard her response, a deep, hoarse voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

"Chengcheng, I'm going to Beijing tomorrow. Please wait for me patiently, okay... I want to hug you... I miss you..."

In truth, upon hearing Jiang Chengcheng's words, Sirius wished he could rush to her right now, hold her in his arms, and become one with her, never to be separated from her again. This torment of waiting was more unbearable than any gunshot wound he had ever suffered. It was insensible and unemotional, yet it clung to him like a maggot, causing him increasing heartache, sleepless nights, and loss of appetite as time went by.

"Okay... I'll wait for you. Be careful on the road." Jiang Chengcheng knew that no matter how much she said now, nothing was more meaningful than a hug when they met.

.........

the next day.

Jiang Chengcheng received a message from Sirius saying that the plane would land at around 2 PM. Since the higher-ups already knew about their relationship, Jiang Chengcheng stopped hiding it and asked Lin Xingyun to pick her up from the airport.

Since Sirius is a public figure, the group traveled through official channels, so there weren't many people around. The higher-ups didn't arrange any activities for the first day, only allowing the two to catch up. After all, as the old saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. They weren't some wicked queen mother, and even if they weren't satisfied with Sirius, it would be too inhumane to force themselves on him knowing that the two hadn't seen each other for half a year.

"Chengcheng!" Sirius noticed that there were no other people around besides Jiang Chengcheng. He became even more excited and couldn't help but quicken his pace to hug Jiang Chengcheng tightly.

Feeling the warmth emanating from her body, Jiang Chengcheng's body stiffened slightly. After all, it had been half a year since they last met, and she was inevitably a little rusty.

"Chengcheng, I miss you so much..." Sirius's embrace was tighter than ever before, even causing Jiang Chengcheng a slight pain. But she didn't push him away. Jiang Chengcheng even thought, somewhat sentimentally, that this was probably the embodiment of longing, a pain mixed with joy.

“Me too…” Jiang Chengcheng smiled and hugged Sirius back tightly.

Yes, how could I not miss them?

For half a year, Jiang Chengcheng could not see Sirius's face, hear his voice, or know anything about his current situation.

If it weren't for the previous photos of the two of them, Jiang Chengcheng would have thought she had almost forgotten what the other person looked like.

"What are your plans for today?" Jiang Chengcheng was so focused on what to say to Sirius that she didn't notice that there was hardly anyone around.

"I only have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow, nothing else planned. Is there anywhere you'd like to go? I'm spending all of today with you," Sirius said gently, ruffling Jiang Chengcheng's hair as he released her.

"Hmm... how about we go see some attractions at our school and in Beijing? But remember to wear masks." Jiang Chengcheng said, taking two black masks and a hat out of her bag and handing them to Sirius, asking for his opinion.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Sirius replied, taking the mask and hat from Jiang Chengcheng.

He wasn't afraid of being photographed, after all, he really wanted to assert his dominance, but since Chengcheng wasn't willing, he had no choice but to back down.

After getting dressed, the two of them went directly to Qingda University in Jiang Chengcheng's Dark Night Voice.

There was still a month before the summer vacation at Qingdao University, and it wasn't class time yet, so there were quite a few people around.

Although Jiang Chengcheng and Sirius's attire concealed their faces, many people still cast strange glances at them, exchanging secrets and watching them furtively.

"Hey, are those two some kind of popular celebrities, dressed up so conservatively?"

"I don't know, but she looks quite elegant. She must be quite famous, otherwise she wouldn't be hiding herself so well."

"Ahhh! I really want to go up and get their autograph! Are they dating? I wonder if I can take a picture with them!"

"Forget it, they're hiding so well, it's obvious they don't want to be recognized."

To be fair, the students at Qingda University are all top students, and their high moral character is evident. Even if they guessed that the two were not ordinary people, no one went up to disturb them; they just discussed it quietly.
