I almost touched the moon

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Che couldn't fall asleep. He knew that Wen Song always valued her studies, and he didn't really want her to give up her studies and come to the United States.

However, maybe it was because she promised him, maybe it was because the anger from the previous cold war had not completely subsided, or maybe it was because he was stimulated by Jiang Xu's words every day, "Are sister-in-law coming or not? She won't not come, will she?"

He knew that Wen Song had done nothing wrong, but he still acted unreasonably towards her, which caused their relationship to become strained.

He tossed and turned until early morning and couldn't fall asleep, so much so that during the morning training, there were two clear dark circles on his fair face.

After the morning training, he had lunch with Jiang Xu, Wang Shuning, and of course Jiang Xu’s girlfriend.

At the dinner table, Jiang Xu really asked, "Brother Cheng, when will sister-in-law arrive? You said before that the flight is at 4 o'clock this afternoon, right? Are you going to pick her up?"

"Sister Iseylia is coming." Wang Shuning said excitedly, "Great, Senior Brother, I will go to the airport with you to pick her up."

After hearing what they said, Cheng Che lost his appetite and put down his fork and said, "She has something urgent to do and can't come."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Xu said with a gloating look, "Brother Cheng, no wonder you have such dark circles under your eyes today. You didn't sleep well because you were stood up."

Cheng Che looked up at him with some displeasure and said coldly, "She is going to attend an international exchange meeting on astrophysics, so she has to revise her research report in the next few days."

"Oh, I thought it was a big deal." Jiang Xu said disapprovingly, "It's just a meeting, is it that important? More important than your World Extreme Games?"

His girlfriend also agreed, "Yes, I also had a photo shoot before coming to the United States, but I turned it down for Ah Xu. What kind of photo shoot is it? It's not as important as my husband's competition."

Wang Shuning looked at the two of them speechlessly, and spoke up for Wen Song, "You are filming, and Sister Iseylia is attending an international academic conference. Can it be the same?"

Then he said to Cheng Che, "Brother, my sister is a top student and is busy with her studies. You should be more considerate of her."

Jiang Xu said with a "tsk" sound, "Really? No, brother Cheng, I'm telling you the truth, don't be unhappy. What do you like about her? If you want to talk about her looks, then all those female celebrities and internet celebrities who pursued you before are prettier than her. As for her personality, I really can't say anything good about your sister-in-law's personality. Besides, what else does she do besides reading clubs? What do you two usually talk about? Talking about Mars hitting the Earth?"

"When it comes to love, it's all about controlling each other." Jiang Xu ignored Cheng Che's increasingly cold expression and continued to impart his experience.

"Either you control her or she controls you. You can't spoil a woman too much, or she will become lawless. In my opinion, my sister-in-law doesn't care. She knows that even if she dumps you, you won't be angry and will still obey her."

After hearing this, Cheng Che became even more silent. Jiang Xu's words were of course nonsense, but they did make sense.

He couldn't help but wonder if Wen Song really thought that Cheng Che wouldn't be angry even if she broke her promise when she informed him that she couldn't come to the United States without even consulting him. Or if she didn't care even if she was angry.

"Jiang Xu, shut up." Wang Shuning noticed that Cheng Che's expression was even more unhappy, so he tried to smooth things over and said, "I like Iseylia, who is pretty, intelligent, gentle and elegant. Brother, you have a good eye.

Besides, international exchange meetings in their academic circles should be similar to our Winter Olympics. I won’t give up the Winter Olympics to find a boyfriend. That would be stupid.”

Jiang Xu said, "What do you know, little girl? You've never even been in love. Lulu, tell me, who's more important, me or your work?"

"Of course it's you." Jiang Xu's girlfriend said immediately, and kissed Jiang Xu as if no one was around.

Then he asked curiously, "What does Mr. Cheng's girlfriend look like? Xiao Yu from our company is a beauty blogger with more than three million followers on Douyin. She pursued Mr. Cheng before, but he ignored her. Is Mr. Cheng's girlfriend prettier than her?"

Cheng Che didn't want to pay attention to her, and just said lightly: "She is prettier than everyone else."

"Brother Cheng, you are the one who sees beauty in everything." Jiang Xu pouted and said, "As for her facial features, she is indeed good, and she is quite tall. But her figure is not as good as that of Xiao Yu in your company. Brother Cheng, what do you want? Just her figure..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud sound of metal hitting porcelain.

Cheng Che had always been very good-tempered, and was very humble and polite to others, and he had never even spoken loudly. But this time, he threw his knife and fork on the plate and walked away angrily.

"Jiang Xu, are you sick?" Wang Shuning heard the gaze and secret humiliation of Wen Song in Jiang Xu's mouth, and he also got angry.

"Can you shut up! When we were in Finland, Iseylia was pretty nice to you, right? Why are you complaining like that? You think my senior is like you, strong but simple-minded, and that he likes girls with big breasts and no brains. If you can't talk, just shut up. No one thinks you're dumb. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."

"What are you doing?" Jiang Xu retorted without any hesitation, "I'm talking about Cheng Ge's girlfriend, why are you so angry? If Cheng Che is unhappy, let him come and tell me himself. Why are you trying to be a hero here?"

"I just can't stand the disgusting way you make casual comments about a good girl! Don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts. If I were your senior, I would beat you up on the spot." After saying that, he glared at Jiang Xu fiercely, packed a few more loaves of bread, and turned to leave.

After leaving the restaurant, Wang Shuning saw Cheng Che sitting on a bench outside with a lonely look on his face, looking down at his mobile phone, as if waiting for someone's call.

"Senior brother." Wang Shuning walked up to him, smiled at him and said, "Jiang Xu is like this, he speaks without restraint, so ignore him. And his girlfriend, there are really two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed, don't listen to their nonsense."

After hearing what she said, Cheng Che finally smiled a little and said to her, "Girl, don't talk nonsense. You are not ashamed."

"Well, that's how I am. Besides, my words are not unreasonable, right, brother?"

Wang Shuning smiled again and said, "I just sent a WeChat message to Sister Iseylia. She said she was really busy, so she couldn't come. She told me to take care of yourself and not get hurt. Why didn't she tell you herself that you two really had a fight?"

After listening to this, Cheng Che sighed and said, "It takes two people to quarrel together. At most, I am just sulking on my own."

"Brother, to be fair, you are wrong in this matter." Wang Shuning analyzed patiently, "Since you know that the conference is very important to Sister Iseylia, why do you insist on having her come to the United States? If she missed the academic exchange meeting because of this, even if she didn't say it, she would definitely not be happy in her heart, and you would definitely blame yourself."

"I just feel like, in her world, she comes first, her mom and her best friend comes second, then her other friends, and then probably me."

"Isn't this normal?" Wang Shuning said nonchalantly, "People must put themselves, their family and friends first. Who would consider their lover more important than these? That's a terrible disease, love-brained."

Cheng Che laughed dryly twice. According to Wang Shuning, he really seemed to be in love.

Wang Shuning saw that he was in a better mood, and continued, "Brother, were you provoked by Jiang Xu and his wife? They are both sick, especially his girlfriend. How can that kind of person compare with Sister Iseylia? You are also different from Jiang Xu. His brain is all muscle. Brother, you have both intelligence and strength."

After Wang Shuning's counseling, Cheng Che felt much better and said to her, "I'm fine. I just got a little stuck in a rut for a while. I'm much better now. Go practice now. How's your 1620 practice going?"

"Can you please stop saying 1620? I get PTSD whenever I hear these four numbers. I went shopping yesterday and saw a bag, but it cost 1620 US dollars. I immediately stopped buying it because I got a headache when I saw it." As he spoke, he held his forehead with his hand.

"Practice hard and don't be lazy."

Wang Shuning nodded, handed him the packed bread and said, "Brother, you haven't eaten much, and you have to train in the afternoon. This crispy whole wheat bread is delicious. I packed some for you to eat."

"Thank you." Cheng Che took the bread, thanked Wang Shuning for his kindness, stood up from the bench and said, "I'm going to practice too. If you encounter any problems when practicing 1620, remember to ask me."

"Okay." Wang Shuning smiled and walked with him to the training ground. "Brother, remember to call Sister Iseylia. Young lovers quarrel, and they make up at the end of the night. There's no such thing as overnight grudges."

"Don't talk nonsense."

After hearing what she said, Cheng Che suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he also listened to her advice and no longer got angry with her because of Wen Song's broken promise.
