Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Chapter 1846 I forgot to turn off the alarm...

The two did not stay at their grandmother's house for too long, for fear of tiring the elderly woman.

Before leaving, Grandma held Jiang Cheng's hand and kept reminding him, "Little Jiang, come and play often in the future, and Grandma will cook you something delicious."

"Okay, Grandma, don't worry, I'll definitely come often." Jiang Cheng smiled and agreed, then gave his grandmother a few more words of advice, telling her to take care of her health.

As I stepped out of the courtyard, the sun had completely set.

There weren't many streetlights in the alley, making the visibility rather dim.

The dim, warm light spilled onto the bluestone path.

The two walked side by side.

Huang Yuqi spoke first: "Thank you for today."

She turned her head to look at Jiang Cheng beside her, her tone serious, "And this necklace, I really like it."

Jiang Cheng turned to look at her, the light from the streetlamp falling on her face.

Although the light was dim, Jiang Cheng could still tell that Huang Yuqi's ear tips and eyes looked different.

"nice! You love it."

In this situation, Jiang Cheng used the "head pat" quite naturally.

Don't get me wrong, it's a head with hair.

Huang Yuqi didn't dodge; instead, she lowered her head shyly.

Just as Jiang Cheng thought, she had rarely considered her relationship with Jiang Cheng in this way before.

But I don't know if it's because of this necklace.

Looking at Jiang Cheng now, she felt a pang of reluctance for the first time.

She stared into Jiang Cheng's eyes.

He began by saying, "I'm going to Su Province tomorrow..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng remembered that he had previously said he would go back with Huang Yuqi to see the children.

Later, her grandmother's illness delayed things, so it's been dragging on until now.

But to be honest, tomorrow's plans are a bit rushed.

"I told you before I'd go back with you..."

Huang Yuqi interrupted Jiang Cheng.

"I've already bought my plane ticket for tomorrow morning?"

"So urgent?"

"I've rested for a long time. I'll go first. If you arrive in Su Province, we can meet again..."

Just as Huang Yuqi finished speaking, two tourists carrying backpacks walked towards them.

They looked lost, standing in a narrow alley, looking around in confusion.

"Excuse me, how do I get to Nanluoguxiang?" The tourists saw them and quickly went up to ask for directions.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yuqi looked away from Jiang Cheng and patiently gave them directions.

After thanking them, the two walked away sideways.

However, the alley was too narrow, and I accidentally bumped into Huang Yuqi when I passed by.

Huang Yuqi staggered and was about to crash into the wall next to her.

Jiang Cheng reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist.

Warm palms enveloped her slender wrists.

Huang Yuqi's heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly looked up at him.

The light from the streetlamp fell on Jiang Cheng's face, outlining his defined jawline.

Jiang Cheng hadn't let go of her hand yet, and said quite frankly, "Be careful."

After uttering a soft "hmm...", she instinctively tried to pull her hand back.

But Jiang Cheng did not let go.

His fingertips even intentionally or unintentionally caressed the delicate skin of her wrist.

Seeing the panic in her eyes, he smiled faintly and said, "The road is narrow, so I'll hold your hand and lead you."

Huang Yuqi couldn't quite understand Jiang Cheng at this moment.

She opened her mouth as if to ask a question, but didn't know where to begin.

Looking at their clasped hands, and at the seriousness in his eyes.

As if possessed, she stopped struggling and simply let out a soft "hmm".

The dim streetlights cast long, long shadows of the two people, and their clasped hands swayed gently in the evening breeze.

After a pause, Huang Yuqi added another sentence.

The sound was as soft as the evening breeze rustling through the leaves.

"This is truly the first time... I've ever accepted something from a boy."

These words were straightforward and honest, without the slightest hesitation.

But it was like a fine needle, gently pricking Jiang Cheng's heart.

Jiang Cheng used to think that he would give any girl she wanted.

Even if she falls for a poor boy in the future, I have a way to make sure she has a good life.

However, upon seeing Zhao Bing, Jiang Cheng immediately changed his mind.

Not all good girls can meet good men.

According to Jiang Cheng's observation.

If she stays in this industry.

The probability of meeting a high-quality man is basically zero.

Unless she can give up this career, or Jiang Cheng spends money and manpower to promote her.

Give her a title, expand her circle, and let her meet some wealthy people who need her title as a status symbol.

But even if she marries a rich man, will she be able to live a good life?

Moreover, given her personality, she definitely wouldn't be willing to let Jiang Cheng use her teaching experience to generate publicity.

Therefore, unless she changes her career, Huang Yuqi is destined to live a life of poverty.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Cheng unconsciously loosened his grip on her wrist.

I've come to realize even more how rare and precious she is.

Knowing full well that this path would be long, arduous, and filled with poverty and hardship, they still walked with unwavering courage, step by step.

It is clear that the road ahead is long, impoverished, and bleak.

But stubbornly, he refused to turn back or change course, clinging to that glimmer of light in his heart.

Such a good girl deserves a better man.

For example, a good man like myself.

He turned sideways and reached out his hand.

He gently touched the pendant around her neck with his fingertips, his tone carrying a barely perceptible tenderness: "I was worried you wouldn't like this style."

"I like it." Huang Yuqi nodded quickly.

Only after speaking did she realize that she had sounded a bit too eager, and her cheeks flushed even more.

I quickly turned my head away, pretending to look at the old locust tree by the roadside.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at her.

Laughter drifted on the wind, and Huang Yuqi's ear tips turned even redder.

The two continued walking, and the alley became narrower and narrower.

The courtyard walls on both sides are so close together that even the evening breeze seems to become more gentle.

After seeing Jiang Cheng to his car, Huang Yuqi waved goodbye.

Her voice carried a hint of unconscious anticipation: "See you next time..."

They just patted each other on the head and held hands.

Jiang Cheng did not take any further steps at this point.

"I'll come pick you up tomorrow..."

"Ah, no need to trouble yourself... I'll just go straight there..."

I'll come tomorrow...

Seeing Jiang Cheng's certainty, Huang Yuqi didn't refuse again: "Okay... thank you..."

The next day, Jiang Cheng woke up in his bed at Renji Mountain Villa.

Jiang Cheng woke up because he was woken up by Jiang Churan's phone alarm.

Seeing that she had woken Jiang Cheng, Jiang Churan, who had just come out of the bathroom to wash up, was obviously a little flustered.

"Honey, I'm sorry, I forgot to turn off the alarm."

Jiang Cheng checked the time.

7:00 AM...

I go...

I can only say that I'm lucky to have the system; my physical condition has already surpassed that of ordinary people.

So even if I played the game in the Rift a bit late last night, it won't have any impact on me getting up now.

Jiang Cheng sat up and pulled Jiang Churan's slender waist into his arms: "So, you woke me up so early, how are you going to make it up to me..."

"Ah...you made me fall asleep right away last night, so I forgot to turn it off..."

Jiang Churan thought that Jiang Cheng would let her go after she acted coquettishly.

But her approach backfired.

A girl with a 96-point appearance pouts and flirts with you while shaking her chest, and you end up with one consequence.

Gan!

After exclaiming in surprise, Jiang Cheng picked her up and carried her towards the bathroom.
