Chapter 72 Nationality is not the issue, but age is.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment; the actions of the two were like an oil painting depicting a heart-fluttering moment.
The girl's bewilderment and nervousness, and the man's concern and tenderness, seemed to form a world-famous painting in an instant.
Anyone else in this situation would probably be captivated by the other person's gaze, but unfortunately, Jiang Chengcheng is not a normal person!
……
No early romantic relationships! No attraction to men! No temptation!
What are you thinking, Jiang Chengcheng!
She's from China! Even if you like her, it's pointless!
Jiang Chengcheng silently hypnotized herself, even though her body was that of a minor, her mind was that of a twenty-something adult, how could she resist this temptation!
After a brief moment of tension, Jiang Chengcheng abruptly stood up from her chair. Fortunately, Sirius was there to support her this time, so she didn't trip.
"Teacher Sirius, could you please give us a heads-up next time you're going out? People can really scare you to death!" Jiang Chengcheng tried to change the subject, but the blush on her face completely betrayed her nervousness!
"Sorry, I startled you." Perhaps not expecting Jiang Chengcheng's strong reaction, Sirius withdrew his hand, placed the chair back, and stood there stunned for a moment. He then sincerely apologized.
However, Jiang Chengcheng, feeling guilty, simply dropped the topic.
"Um...it's okay, I was just careless. I was doing my summer homework and forgot to finish it because school is starting soon, so I had to rush to finish it." Jiang Chengcheng touched her nose and replied somewhat guiltily.
Actually, you can't entirely blame Sirius for this, but Jiang Chengcheng was so blinded by male beauty that she lost her mind and couldn't find an excuse to change the subject...
“Summer vacation…homework? How old are you?” Sirius was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Chengcheng’s words, and then a feeling of loss and fear filled his heart.
Yes, how could he forget to ask her age?
Previously, because of Jiang Chengcheng's composed way of speaking, Sirius automatically categorized her as an adult.
But this scene left him somewhat at a loss.
After spending a long time together, he had long since developed different feelings for Jiang Chengcheng, otherwise he wouldn't have intentionally or unintentionally tried to get closer to her.
"Huh? Didn't I tell you? I'm fourteen this year." Jiang Chengcheng, with her straightforward and easygoing personality, didn't notice Sirius's unusual behavior.
really!
Upon hearing Jiang Chengcheng's words, Sirius's mood instantly plummeted.
"Sirius? Sirius? What's wrong with you?" Even if Jiang Chengcheng was usually oblivious, she could tell something was wrong when she saw Sirius's pale face.
She waved her hand in front of Sirius's eyes with some concern, wondering if she had gone too far just now.
Looking at the hands waving incessantly in front of him, Sirius finally came to his senses. He remained silent for a moment, adjusted his mindset, and spoke again.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you something. I might be very busy for a while, so the courses will be suspended. You can try to study some other courses."
Every word Sirius uttered at that moment was incredibly difficult…
He felt he might need to calm down...
Nationality is not a problem, personality is not a problem, as long as two people like each other...
But age is a real problem…
He can't do something to hurt the other person just because he likes them...
Meeting the right person at the wrong time—that's probably the biggest joke fate has ever played on him…
He needs time to adjust his mindset…
"Really? Okay then, remember to come back and tutor me when you're done!" Jiang Chengcheng noticed that something was wrong with Sirius, so she didn't try to stop him, but she felt a sense of unease for no reason.
It seemed Sirius was making an important decision concerning her. And she had no way to change it, nor could she change it.
After saying goodbye to Sirius, Jiang Chengcheng continued to do her summer homework, but this time she was somewhat absent-minded. Her mind kept replaying Sirius's face so close to hers and his words before he left.
……
The two-month summer vacation passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, Hengyang No. 3 Middle School officially started the new semester.
Jiang Chengcheng never expected that the first person she would meet when she arrived at school would be Xu Yue.
Since Li Yiwei and Li Yanyan were expelled from school for making false accusations and spreading rumors, Jiang Chengcheng has rarely seen Xu Yue, let alone the fact that Xu Yue had been hospitalized.
Seeing Xu Yue walking towards her with a beaming smile, Jiang Chengcheng instinctively felt that the other party was probably up to no good again, and she felt extremely annoyed!
Is this ever going to end?! Are we even that close?
Every day they insist on coming here to seek attention!
"Chengcheng!" Xu Yue smiled even more brightly when she saw Jiang Chengcheng.
Jiang Chengcheng was left wondering what the other party was up to.
However, out of disgust, Jiang Cheng ignored the other party and chose to simply ignore them.
"Hey! Chengcheng!" Seeing Jiang Chengcheng walk past her, Xu Yue quickly stopped her.
Seeing Xu Yue blocking her way, Jiang Chengcheng's expression turned cold.
"Is something wrong?"
Jiang Chengcheng glanced at Xu Yue with a disdainful look and said impatiently.
"Chengcheng, it was my fault before... I... I really didn't mean to... I..." Xu Yue looked at Jiang Chengcheng hesitantly, her expression like that of someone being bullied, which drew the attention of everyone around.
"..." Jiang Chengcheng looked at the other person's pure and innocent appearance and suddenly felt that she must be out of her mind to stop and listen to what the other person was saying.
Seeing Xu Yue stammering "I...I..." for a long time, looking more and more aggrieved, Jiang Chengcheng simply snorted and prepared to leave.
"Jiang Chengcheng, can you not participate in this middle school science and technology competition!" Seeing that her previous attempt to play the victim had failed, Xu Yue quickly revealed her purpose.
Jiang Chengcheng, who had already walked a few meters away, was both puzzled and speechless upon hearing these words!
It's strange that Xu Yue would make such a request.
The reason for being speechless is that the other person's face is as big as a moon plate!
Seeing Xu Yue run over to stop her again, Jiang Chengcheng finally decided not to let the matter rest.
She reverted to her usual sharp tongue, letting out a cold laugh as she spoke.
"Have you ever heard a word?"
"What did you say?" Seeing Jiang Chengcheng stop, Xu Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Your forehead looks like a horse could run across it.” Jiang Chengcheng slowly uttered the second half of the sentence.
This time, Jiang Chengcheng wasn't in a hurry to leave. She stood there calmly, thinking to herself that she wanted to see what Xu Yue was up to this time!
"You! How could you say that to me!" Xu Yue, being one of the top students in the class, naturally understood Jiang Chengcheng's veiled sarcasm.
Her face flushed red, and she gritted her teeth inwardly, cursing Jiang Chengcheng's ancestors for eighteen generations. But remembering that she needed Jiang Chengcheng's help, she suppressed her temper.
