Chapter 1046: Chapter 644: A Gift for the Counselor
The Land Rover Range Rover drove into the underground parking lot of the Rose Garden, stopping next to Chen Jieyu’s white compact rcedes.
Cheng Zhu sent a WeChat ssage to the counselor, telling her she could co downstairs.
He glanced at the small rcedes outside the window and actually felt the car was a bit too cheap.
For his standards, giving a car to his teacher-lover should not be at this price level.
The main concern was causing trouble for the counselor and fearing she wouldn’t accept it.
“Such a small rcedes, and it’s in my na rather than hers, just for her daily use, and she wasn’t even willing at first,” Cheng Zhu thought.
“Mr. Chen is quite stubborn.” He chuckled.
But sotis, it’s this stubbornness that he finds most intriguing.
Soon, he saw Mr. Chen walking out from the elevator entrance.
Today, she wore the cal coat Cheng Zhu had given her.
To be honest, Ningning and she are probably the won who look the best in coats around Cheng Zhu.
One with a stern, abstinent deanor, the other with a cool, strong aura.
Let’s not forget, the cal coat paired with gold-rimd glasses does sowhat match color-wise.
More importantly, she’s also wearing the nude-colored red-soled high heels that Cheng Zhu gifted her on her birthday last year.
As the saying goes: red soles to the sky, boundless magic!
Once in the car, he imdiately noticed the scent of her perfu.
“Just washed your hair?” Cheng Zhu asked.
“Yeah, washed it in the afternoon.” The counselor nodded.
Cheng Zhu reached over to stroke her long hair, complinting, “This hairstyle looks quite nice, suits you well.”
Chen Jieyu, with her slightly stern face, clearly froze for a mont and turned her face slightly away.
In her heart, she subtly noted Cheng Zhu’s preference.
“So he likes a bit of a wave.”
She also rembered Cheng Zhu once ntioned that her updo looked good too.
At this age, young mature won already carry a hint of mature charm.
When she puts her hair up, it gives off a particularly striking impression.
Plus… it’s more convenient when tied up.
Cheng Zhu checked the ti and said, “Any restaurant you’d like to go to?”
“Anything’s fine, you decide.” The counselor maintained her usual deanor.
“Alright, when Zhang Tao ca to Hang City last ti, he took to a place I found quite nice. I’ll take you to try it,” he said.
Gotta admit, Taozi is indeed a gourt; when it cos to food, he’s very reliable, just that… it’s quite expensive!
Of course, the cost isn’t an issue, as so high-end places maintain great privacy.
What Cheng Zhu dislikes the most is that many restaurants nowadays are both costly and unappetizing.
The counselor seed in an obviously good mood today, with an appetite better than usual.
Having been together for a long ti, Cheng Zhu knew her stomach wasn’t particularly strong.
These days, most modern people have so issues to so extent.
He himself is full of energy and robust, as if winning the genetic lottery.
After the al, Cheng Zhu took her to a guesthouse.
As they walked through the door, the counselor instinctively lowered her head slightly.
“What’s up, no one’s here.” Cheng Zhu chuckled.
The guesthouse lobby was empty.
The owner wasn’t in, nor was the front desk girl working.
For Chen Jieyu, whenever she visited this guesthouse, her emotions carried a bit of complexity.
Obviously, this place held extraordinary significance.
She and Cheng Zhu had a qualitative leap here.
During a fall outing with Class 2 of the Computer Science departnt, the counselor had been contradicted by so unruly students.
That night, the building was full of students from their class, completely taken over by them.
On last year’s birthday, the two returned here to celebrate an unforgettable birthday night for her.
In a way, she found so healing last year.
Now, she felt an unspoken understanding forming between the two of them.
That is, to co here on this day every year.
No matter how stern her deanor, deep down won still appreciate romance, appreciate a sense of ritual.
Won hyper-allergic to romance are, after all, extrely rare.
The counselor thought of coming here once a year, making a wish here annually, and then returning the next year, akin to fulfilling a vow.
However, there’s one issue.
Every ti she sees the guesthouse owner, she feels slightly embarrassed.
That taboo feeling of a counselor being with a student grows infinitely in her heart.
While the guesthouse owner is very professional, she herself feels a little awkward.
But, how to put it?
These feelings of moral transgression, though sowhat uneasy, are… truly intoxicating!
Cheng Zhu indeed brought countless exhilarating highs to the counselor’s previously calm life!
But today, the guesthouse owner wasn’t at the front desk; likely busy elsewhere.
“Since no one’s around, you don’t need to register for now,” Cheng Zhu said to Chen Jieyu.
“Okay.” She nodded.
With her intellect, she inferred from Cheng Zhu’s words.
He had either co by earlier or sent soone; he already had the room card, so they could go straight upstairs now.
“Didn’t do the room up again like last year, with birthday decorations?” Chen Jieyu thought.
But when the door opened, it wasn’t like last year’s, with “Happy Birthday” on the wall and balloons festooned all around.
There was only a birthday cake on the table, and a small gift box.
Cheng Zhu turned his head to look at her and said with a smile, “Do you feel a bit let down? Last year, I went all out to decorate, and I even prepared 27 gifts.”
“No.” Chen Jieyu imdiately replied and quickly added, “Really, no.”
The counselor was indeed telling the truth.
She had just been thinking about it in her heart earlier, but she didn’t take it too seriously.
She was even a little afraid that this year’s birthday would be too grand again.
Yes, just like last year, she already felt it was a bit too over the top.
In those grandmaster-level speeches of Cheng Zhu’s, she couldn’t stop her tears.
Being so much older than him and his counselor, crying in front of students, she still felt it was embarrassing.
“Really?” Cheng Zhu asked.
“Really, there’s no need for all this.” She said.
“Alright then.” Cheng Zhu smiled casually, actually planning for later.
He held Chen Jieyu’s small hand and sat down with her on the chair.
“I’ve been too busy lately, really couldn’t find the ti, but if I had soone else do the setup, I feel like it wouldn’t be sincere, don’t you think?” he said.
“Really, it’s fine.” The counselor didn’t even know how to explain further.
“You don’t feel let down in your heart?” Cheng Zhu teased with a smirk.
Then, with his other hand, he gently patted the back of her hand, smiling as he said, “You don’t feel like this man, after being with for so long, is no longer as attentive as before and starting to get perfunctory?”
“He definitely wasn’t like this before.”
Chen Jieyu felt a bit speechless listening to this.
“Really no, you’re making it so I don’t even know what to say.” A rare expression of being at a loss appeared on her face.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhu imdiately showed a look of surprise on his face.
“Is that so? I’ve heard Liu Feng and the others in the dormitory say that their girlfriends are always like that, particularly fond of saying such things.”
“Looks like Mr. Chen is really different from those immature young girls in the class.”
He said this deliberately to ease a bit of the age anxiety for the counselor.
People’s ways of thinking are different.
He could vaguely guess that the counselor was now at the turning point between her twenties and thirties, about to start with a three tomorrow.
“She’s so much older than , she must sotis mind this.”
Age, sotis just looking at the numbers, doesn’t feel very direct.
But what if you put it another way?
“When Chen Jieyu was in college, I hadn’t even graduated from elentary school yet!”
Of course, his real thought was definitely liking this kind of woman with mature charm.
Urban light mature lady, and her looks and deanor are naturally OL style in the workplace!
Who doesn’t love it?
I just adore your older age, just love your mature vibe!
But won may not necessarily think that way.
At this mont, the counselor heard this and didn’t speak.
She was not the type to comnt on others privately or talk about the pros and cons of those young girls.
“Shall we eat the cake first?” Cheng Zhu proposed.
“Sure.” Chen Jieyu nodded.
After lighting the candles, the counselor made the sa wish as last year.
While cutting the cake, she reminded, “Next ti don’t buy such a big cake, a little bit is enough.”
Cheng Zhu didn’t listen, still teasing with a smile, “It’s okay, we didn’t waste much last year either, did we?”
Hearing him say that, Chen Jieyu imdiately rembered last year’s scene.
Indeed, not much of the cake was wasted last year.
A large part of the unfinished cream ended up sared on her body.
Cheng Zhu seed to be eating the cake along with her or perhaps her along with the cake.
In any case… delicious!
Mr. Chen, délicieux!
As a result, this year she closed the cake box after cutting two pieces and put it in the inn’s refrigerator, blushing as she said in a low voice, “I’ll… take it ho tomorrow.”
She was afraid Cheng Zhu would make trouble again!
Rembering those feelings from that ti, she now felt itchy all over.
The dog man looked at her, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
He continued to eat the cake in big bites.
After the two of them finished the two pieces of cake, Cheng Zhu pushed the small gift box on the table in front of Chen Jieyu.
The number 28 was written on the gift box.
Last year’s gift boxes were numbered 1-27.
Just by looking at that number, the counselor already felt sothing slowly lting inside her.
“Want to open it and see?” Cheng Zhu said.
“Mm.” She nodded gently, reaching out to untie the ribbon on the gift box.
After opening it, she was sowhat perplexed.
Because inside was a key.
“Do you know where this key is for?” Cheng Zhu said.
“Where?” Chen Jieyu asked, surprised.
He raised a finger and pointed downward.
“The key to this inn’s main entrance.” Cheng Zhu replied with a smile.
“I bought it.” he said.
