Summer Kiss

Chapter 196 The 38th Day of Missing You

Chen Yihua clutched the hem of her clothes and stammered, "The man who brought you milk tea is very handsome, and I think I'm falling for him."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuning blinked in surprise, "Chen Yihua, is this really true?"

"Of course, I'm not kidding you."

Jiang Yuning said softly, "I can ask for you, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to get his contact information."

Chen Yihua gratefully placed her hand on Jiang Yuning's shoulder, "Jiang Yuning, thank you."

Jiang Yuning sat in her seat, took a picture, and sent it to Fu Xicheng. After sending it, she edited a short text message and sent it to him.

A few minutes later, Fu Xicheng replied to her message.

Upon seeing Fu Xicheng's four-word reply, Jiang Yuning took a screenshot and sent it to Chen Yihua.

When Chen Yihua saw the words "absolutely impossible," she was immediately overwhelmed with disappointment. Why is it so difficult to fall in love these days?

Jiang Yuning stopped chatting with Fu Xicheng and turned to work.

……

Even though Jiang Yuning and Fu Xicheng are thousands of miles apart, she receives a warm cup of porridge every day when she goes to work, and a bouquet of roses every noon.

Every night, Jiang Yuning would video chat with Fu Xicheng, and each video call would last for a long time.

During the chat, Jiang Yuning would share her daily life.

Day after day, this continued for more than a month.

One evening, for some reason, Jiang Yuning's first words were, "Fu Xicheng, when will your injury heal?"

Fu Xicheng's body visibly stiffened, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. He had been staying up late every day recently, immersing himself in handling company affairs. He did everything just so that he could go to Haicheng to see Jiang Yuning as soon as possible.

He was somewhat at a loss after Jiang Yuning brought it up tonight.

He asked softly, "Ningning, are you missing me?"

Jiang Yuning missed him, of course; she hadn't seen him for 38 days.

She counted the days in her heart every day. For these 38 days, she thought of him every day, but she could not see him. She had a thought in her mind: if Fu Xicheng could not come to Haicheng, she wanted to go to Kyoto to find him.

She gradually came to her senses and asked in return, "What do you think? Don't you miss me?"

Fu Xicheng paused, then lowered his head and chuckled softly, "I've almost recovered. I've been busy with the Fu Group these past few days. Ningning, just wait a few more days, I'll be done soon."

Jiang Yuning said "Oh," feeling a little disappointed. Fu Xicheng hadn't given her a specific date, so how much longer would she have to wait?

She looked up and asked again, "Fu Xicheng, can you hurry up?"

"I also hope to be able to do it faster, but sometimes it can't be done quickly, and we have to do it step by step."

Suddenly, Jiang Yuning burst out laughing, and Fu Xicheng, watching her through the screen, seemed to understand the emotions in her eyes.

She must have been thinking about things she shouldn't have.

"Ningning, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Yuning's gaze lingered on him as she stared intently at him. "Our conversation just now sounded a bit like we were discussing sex in bed."

Fu Xicheng's brow twitched slightly, and a smile gradually spread across his lips. He had indeed guessed her thoughts.

He continued, following her words, "Ningning, do you want me to kiss you?"

Jiang Yuning lowered her head and propped her phone up on the table. She retorted, "I didn't. This is just your own imagination."

Is it just wishful thinking?
He didn't think so.

As soon as he explodes, Jiang Yuning will definitely give himself away.

"You still say no? Your face is all red." Jiang Yuning subconsciously touched her face, and only after touching it did she realize that she had been tricked by Fu Xicheng again.

Hearing Fu Xicheng's hearty laughter, Jiang Yuning looked at his face and decisively switched the camera.

"Fu Xicheng, you're teasing me again."

Fu Xicheng let out a low chuckle. This trick always worked; Jiang Yuning always fell for it.

This feeling brought him joy.

His girlfriend looks cute when she's puffed up in anger; he wants to tease her again next time.

“Ningning, this isn’t teasing you. Your reaction just proves that you missed me, which is why you subconsciously touched your face.”

Jiang Yuning lowered her eyes slightly. Did she really miss Fu Xicheng that much?
She suddenly thought of something else. Recently, for some reason, Meng Shuyu stopped asking her to go shopping and eat out. Every day, besides going to and from get off work, she would go home and call Fu Xicheng. This seemed to have become her simple daily routine.

Jiang Yuning changed the subject, "Fu Xicheng, it seems that Meng Shuyu is dating Xie Linzhou. She hasn't asked me out lately."

Fu Xicheng had already foreseen the development between them, and their being together was an undeniable fact.

“It’s a good thing that he didn’t ask you out. That girl always wants to do something exciting. I heard from Xie Linzhou that she ended up in the police station last time. He was so angry when he found out why she was arrested.”

Jiang Yuning was also present that day. Fortunately, Xie Linzhou didn't mention her, otherwise, given Fu Xicheng's habitual tendencies, he would have started overthinking again.

She glanced at the clock on the wall and ended the conversation.

"It's getting late, let's end the video call."

On his phone screen, Fu Xicheng didn't see Jiang Yuning's figure, only the white ceiling.

He sighed softly; how could he easily hang up the video call if he hadn't seen the person?

"Ningning, before you hang up the video, you have to let me see you at least once."

Jiang Yuning smiled. This clingy guy couldn't stand not seeing her for a day.

She adjusted the camera and pointed the phone at her face.

Jiang Yuning appeared on the screen, and Fu Xicheng leaned closer to the screen, carefully examining her.

Jiang Yuning suddenly saw a magnified handsome face and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

Fu Xicheng chuckled softly, his expression suggestive, "Of course I'm looking at my darling, so I can dream about you tonight."

Jiang Yuning smiled teasingly. Fu Xicheng's words always brought her joy; he was her source of happiness.

"Good night, Fu Xicheng."

Jiang Yuning then hung up the video call.

Kyoto, thousands of miles away.

Fu Xicheng's study was still brightly lit. Even at this hour, he was still busy with company matters. He rubbed his tired brows and slowly closed the documents in his hand.

Meanwhile, inside a brightly lit private room in a bar.

He Sili was drinking with Fu Tian.

Strangely enough, He Sili was working for Fu Xicheng, yet he was also Fu Tian's friend.

Fu Tian was drunk and his eyes were glazed over as he complained to the man sitting next to him about some things.

“He Sili, tell me how cold-hearted Fu Xicheng is. I’m his cousin, and he still managed to hurt me.”

He Sili paused in his drinking, his smile fading as he leaned back on the sofa.

"Isn't it good to be brothers? You've been fighting for so many years, do you have to fight to the death? I know Fu Xicheng. As long as you don't cross his bottom line, he'll just turn a blind eye."
