Chapter 279: That New Year's Eve, I'll Tell You a Secret
"puff."
As soon as Chen Jianghe finished speaking, Liu Dongliang sprayed a mouthful of tea directly onto the computer screen.
Everyone else couldn't help laughing.
"This English name is too sexy. I can't handle it. I'd better continue to use the foreign language online name Umekawa Neiku."
Wang Yuanpeng also chuckled, then turned around and took out a deck of playing cards from the bedside table: "Stop laughing, stop laughing, let's play poker, the battle will last until dawn tonight."
"Pengzi, for your generosity, I'll light a cigarette for you."
Chen Jianghe took out a cigarette, handed one to Wang Yuanpeng, and then lit it for him himself.
Wang Yuanpeng, cigarette in mouth, tilted his head and cut the cards: "Although I am a bit of a jerk, I am not petty at all. It's just a joke among brothers, and we can just laugh it off."
"You can make jokes and make people laugh. You can take it or leave it. You have a good personality."
Chen Jianghe patted Wang Yuanpeng on the shoulder, sat down next to him and played Poker together.
In fact, on such an important day as New Year's Eve, Chen Jianghe should not have played cards in the dormitory, but considering the difficulty in arranging the time, it would be more comfortable to stay in the dormitory.
Sure enough, before the New Year's bell rang, Chen Jianghe's cell phone rang first.
I picked it up and saw the caller ID: Yishu.
"You guys play, I'll take a call."
Chen Jianghe threw the cards aside, stood up and walked towards the balcony.
"Brother, Happy New Year."
As soon as the phone was connected, Jiang Yishu's soft voice was heard.
"I just checked the time, it's only 11:50, you're ten minutes early." Chen Jianghe said with a smile.
"I want to tell you quickly." Jiang Yishu responded with a faint smile, and then said softly: "Can I tell you a secret?"
"Okay." Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows and asked her with great interest: "Go ahead and talk. I'm listening."
Jiang Yishu hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone, then whispered to him, "I've liked you for a long time."
"Hmm?" Chen Jianghe's heart trembled. Even though he had heard Yishu's love words before, this kind of routine confession tonight was the first time in his life. He felt very excited even through the phone: "It was too windy just now, I didn't hear it clearly, can you say it again?"
"No more talking." Jiang Yishu smiled and said, "Next time you come home with me, I'll show you something."
"Can you show me the little treasure you have treasured for many years?" Chen Jianghe asked.
"Not many years." Jiang Yishu responded seriously: "Three years in high school and one and a half years in college."
"An item that carries my daughter Yishu's youth for four and a half years must be very precious." Chen Jianghe said seriously.
"Yes." Jiang Yishu smiled and said, "Because it is precious, I want to share it with you."
Chen Jianghe was so tempted by Yishu's words that he wanted to drive to her house tomorrow, but he thought he couldn't be impulsive, so he changed the subject and asked, "What did you eat tonight? Why do you look so sweet?"
"My aunt cooked a table full of dishes tonight. She, the cat and I all ate so much that our stomachs were full. We just lay on the sofa and didn't want to move." Jiang Yishu answered truthfully.
"Kitten?" Chen Jianghe blinked and asked in confusion, "I went there several times but didn't see any cats."
"It plays with kittens outside during the day and comes home in the evening. After dinner, it goes out again ." Jiang Yishu said, "My aunt reminds it every day to take care of its health and be restrained, but it probably doesn't listen."
Chen Jianghe found this quite interesting and said with a smile, "It turns out to be a bohemian male cat who doesn't like to go home."
"Don't laugh, you little brat. You're just like the male cat at home. You didn't even come to spend New Year's Eve with Yishu, and she had to call you first."
As soon as Chen Jianghe finished speaking, he heard his aunt's voice coming from the other end of the phone.
"Auntie, Happy New Year."
Chen Jianghe responded with a smile.
"Oh." Zheng Jiaxin said, "Happy New Year, little brat."
"Actually, I also have a secret to tell you." Zheng Jiaxin took the phone handed to her by Yishu, quietly put on her shoes, walked to the balcony, and said in a low voice.
"What secret?" Chen Jianghe's eyebrows twitched and he looked around. There was no outsider on the balcony except him. His roommates were playing poker happily.
"Actually, I, I feel a little sorry for you." Zheng Jiaxin said.
"Huh?" Chen Jianghe was startled and asked hesitantly, "You, you are not in love with my Yishu, are you?"
"What?" Zheng Jiaxin was anxious: "I wanted to tell you that I used the scarf I gave you for Christmas to wipe my feet, and more than once."
"That's all?" Chen Jianghe let out a long sigh and said, "Just wipe it off. I don't mind it anyway."
"Hmph, you still have some conscience. When we were kids, you slept in terrible postures and always put your feet close to my mouth, but I didn't hit you." Zheng Jiaxin said.
"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." Chen Jianghe laughed: "No wonder you always call me a brat."
"That's good to know." Zheng Jiaxin chuckled, "I won't tell you anymore. Yishu's father called."
"Oh, okay, I'll hang up first."
Chen Jianghe hung up the phone, and then calls came from his secretary and Teacher Xu. QQ messages, text messages, and MMS messages also came in a rush at midnight, making it difficult to handle them all.
Chen Jianghe glanced over those unimportant holiday greetings, and replied to each of the ones he had a good relationship with, as well as chatting with the more important ones to keep in touch.
Yang Wanying: "Mr. Chen, you've made so much money recently, shouldn't you treat us to a meal?"
Chen Jianghe: "Okay, I'll treat you, your sister will pay the bill, she is the landlord, I am still a poor peasant."
Yang Wanying: "Wow, you are a poor peasant with a net worth of hundreds of millions? Your Light Chaser is now valued at over 500 million US dollars. After completing the second round of financing, you will be a big shot."
Chen Jianghe: "The second round of financing has not started yet, and everything is still unknown. Before I become a big boss, you and your sister are the big bosses I can look up to."
Yang Wanying: "Okay, when are you guys holding your annual meeting? Can I bring my sister along to join in the fun?"
Chen Jianghe: “To be determined.”
Yang Wanying: “…”
Chen Jianghe wanted to laugh when he saw the six dots, thinking that the way you sent out the six dots looked a lot like Teacher Xu. Unfortunately, Teacher Xu is my sweetheart, but you are not.
"Student Chen Jianghe, the fireworks outside are a bit noisy, and I'm having trouble sleeping."
At 12:25, when Chen Jianghe had basically finished replying to the messages, QQ rang twice. It was a message from Xu Zhixi.
"Hmm?" Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you in the dormitory?"
"I can't sleep, so I'm walking downstairs. It's a bit cold outside, but there are a lot of people here and it's quite lively. Do you want to come and see me?" Xu Zhixi responded.
