I almost touched the moon

Wen Song bit his lower lip, took a deep breath, tried to calm his thoughts, and then opened the office door.

Cheng Xuan introduced her with a smile: "Professor, I brought my brother here. Brother, this is Professor Iseylia I told you about."

"Good afternoon, Professor Iseylia, very pleased to meet you."

The greeting was polite yet unfamiliar, just right.

Wen Song also smiled and nodded, saying, "Hello, Mr. Cheng."

She stood at the door, neither inviting him into the office nor taking the initiative to speak, as if waiting for something. Cheng Che did the same, just standing in front of her and looking at her quietly.

It had been half a month since they last met. During this half month, Cheng Che had not contacted her, and she had not taken the initiative to speak.

Cheng Che, just as he promised her, would not bother her, and even if they met, he would pretend not to know her. And she didn't know how to communicate with Cheng Che.

More than a week ago, she watched Cheng Che's live broadcast of his competition, in which he successfully won the obstacle pursuit championship at the Freestyle Skiing World Cup in Laax, Switzerland. She originally wanted to send a WeChat message to say "congratulations", but deleted the content before sending it.

She really didn't know what Cheng Che's attitude was now, and she didn't know what she should do to get the best result for both of them.

"Please come in." Wen Song finally spoke and invited them into the office.

Cheng Che nodded and thanked him, then walked in with Cheng Xuan. But as soon as he stepped in, he frowned out of habit.

As usual, the bookcase was just a decoration with a few books scattered inside. On the desk, there was a pile of books and materials, as well as many documents, and I didn't know how she could find them.

Cheng Xuan saw that the atmosphere seemed a little awkward, so he said, "Professor Iseylia, my brother said that he has time tonight, and wanted to ask if you would like to have dinner with him."

"Yeah, okay." Wen Song saw this moment and it seemed a bit fake for him to suddenly say that he had something to do, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.

"Professor Iseylia, is there anything you would like to eat?" Cheng Che took the ice mineral water she handed over and asked.

Touching the cold water in his hand, he didn't know what to say. She still only drank cold drinks as before, but she remembered that he only liked purified water and didn't give him other sweet drinks in the refrigerator.

"I'm fine with either." Wen Song said calmly, "You decide."

"Brother, I want to eat Japanese food." Cheng Xuan suggested, "Let's go for omakase, it's your treat."

"Okay." Cheng Che agreed immediately and asked Wen Song, "What does Professor Iseylia think?"

"I'm fine with either, thank you."

During the meal, Wen Song and Cheng Che remained silent. Cheng Xuan was a talkative person, but he felt a little embarrassed when he saw this. In addition, he was a little afraid of both Cheng Che and Wen Song, so he ate his food in silence without saying much.

The dessert after the meal was Mont Blanc, which was rich and dense chestnut cream and exuded a rich sweet aroma.

Wen Song picked up the fork and was about to put a small piece of cake into her mouth when Cheng Che suddenly said, "You are allergic to chestnuts, don't eat it." This was the first sentence he said to her tonight.

When the waiter brought the Mont Blanc just now, he thought of Wen Song's chestnut allergy. He originally wanted to ask them to change the dessert, but he thought that Wen Song would not be stupid enough to eat chestnut cake knowing that he was allergic, so he didn't say anything.

However, when he saw her pick up the spoon and bring it to her mouth, he felt inexplicably angry. He didn't care that Cheng Xuan was beside him and directly opened his mouth to stop her.

When Cheng Xuan heard this, even the most obtuse person could sense that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously, "Brother, how do you know that Professor Iseylia is allergic to chestnuts? Do you know each other?"

He thought carefully about Cheng Che's abnormal behavior after he found out that one of his professors was Iseylia, and how Iseylia suddenly asked him about his brother. He was even more certain that there must be some story between the two of them.

Wen Song was obviously stunned for a moment, put down his hand holding the spoon, and said coldly: "I am not allergic to chestnuts, Mr. Cheng must have made a mistake."

"How could I remember it wrong? Have you forgotten that you got rashes all over your body after eating chestnuts?" Cheng Che was so anxious that he didn't care about the people around him and retorted directly.

How could she forget? She was allergic to chestnuts, but she loved eating chestnuts or chestnut-flavored things. Once, she and Cheng Che saw someone selling roasted chestnuts on the street in Salzburg, and she immediately bought a large bag and ate them with relish.

At that time, Cheng Che didn't know that she was allergic to chestnuts. Seeing that she liked them, he peeled chestnuts and fed them to her, and walked with her on the old streets of Salzburg.

However, at night, she broke out in rashes all over her body due to allergies. Cheng Che then realized that she was allergic to chestnuts. He became anxious and regretful, and also a little angry at her for not caring about her body.

I bought her allergy medicine and asked her to take it. Then I used anti-itching ointment to carefully wipe the rash on her body. The ointment had a refreshing mint scent, but in the end, it all turned into the smell of lust...

How long ago was it? Five years ago, or six years ago? Why did it seem so long ago? It seemed like last century.

When Cheng Xuan heard what Cheng Che said, he immediately asked, "Brother, so you and Professor Iseylia really know each other? Damn, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Don't interrupt, kid." Cheng Che stopped Cheng Xuan from speaking coldly and sternly.

Cheng Xuan looked at his brother with a gloomy face, and then looked at Wen Song who had an indifferent expression and no emotion across from him. He didn't dare to say anything more and just ate his piece of cake in silence.

Cheng Che sighed softly, calming his chaotic emotions, and called the waiter over and said, "Please help this lady change the dessert without chestnuts."

The waiter quickly apologized and said that it was their negligence for not asking about allergens in time, and immediately helped Wen Song to get a new dessert.

Gyokuro Matcha, Wen Song’s favorite Japanese dessert.

The three of them were a little embarrassed during the meal. After finishing the dessert, Wen Song hurriedly said goodbye and left, saying he had something else to do. But he did not drive home immediately. Instead, he drove the car not far from the restaurant, parked on the side of the road, and sat in the car to smoke.

She looked at her phone and opened the dialog box that she hadn't touched for a long time.

The last message was on January 1, when Cheng Che asked her, "Sister, how about steak and lobster bisque for dinner?"

She thought about it for a long time and finally sent him a WeChat message.

[Thank you for the dinner. I'm sorry that I mentioned you to Cheng Xuan on impulse today. I hope you don't tell him about our relationship. I don't want him to know me as anything other than a professor.]

Cheng Che still replied quickly, just like before, but the tone and content were completely different.

【Is there any relationship between us, Professor Iseylia? 】

【No. 】

She quickly typed these two words, but deleted them before sending them, and changed them to, "Thank you for your cooperation."
