“What’s wrong?” Chen Cheng keenly noticed sothing was off with her. “Tell if there’s anything, even though I’m not by your side right now, I will always support you.”
“I miss you.”
The reply, following a brief silence, caused Chen Cheng’s heart to tremble lightly.
Hoshino Mika’s cheeks instantly flushed red, just like when they first t.
“That…”
She stamred, wanting to say sothing more but didn’t know how to begin.
i Xiang lifted her head, tears visibly welling up in her eyes, “I want to see you, Brother Cheng.”
Chen Cheng’s tone softened as he tenderly said,
“i Xiang, don’t be sad. I miss you too, and as soon as I finish the things here, I will be back soon. Be strong and believe that we will see each other very soon.”
He paused, “You don’t have to worry anyone, you’re kind, cute, hardworking, you’re so wonderful. Don’t always feel that you’re not good enough, in my eyes, you are unique.”
“In the anti, take good care of yourself for , okay? When I am there, we will do all those fun things together, okay?”
Listening to Chen Cheng’s comforting words, the sweet tis of the past week beca vivid in Hoshino Mika’s mind once again. Unable to hold back her tears anymore, they finally stread down uncontrollably.
“Don’t cry now, you won’t look pretty if you cry. Your smile is the most beautiful.”
i Xiang mustered a smile, “But… when will you co back?”
“I still have to take you to Mount Fuji,” she said with a trembling voice, “Take you to eat Tokyo’s best ran, and also Kamakura…”
Her words were filled with grievances like an accusation that Chen Cheng couldn’t be with her often, yet as if she was begging for his companionship.
“We had a promise, once the rice is ripe, I will co.”
Chen Cheng saw the anticipation in her eyes, “I promise, I will do as I say.”
“Really?”
The tears in Hoshino Mika’s eyes welled up again, but this ti they were tears of joy, “Brother Cheng, you have to keep your word, no lying to !”
“When have I ever lied to you?” Chen Cheng pretended to be stern, “I am very trustworthy!”
Hoshino Mika broke into a tearful smile, “Okay okay, I believe you! Then you have to co back soon. I’ll wait for you!”
“Mhm.”
Chen Cheng: “So, what made you think of video calling ?”
“Because…” Hoshino Mika looked at him on the screen, “Today marks our 400th hour together.”
Chen Cheng was startled at first but then realized what she ant.
It turns out, without realizing, so much ti had passed between them.
Even though the 400 hours were spent apart, every minute, every second was extrely precious to Hoshino Mika.
“Idiot.”
Chen Cheng’s voice was full of indulgence, “Do you have to specifically rember such things? You are always so adorable.”
“I am not an idiot!”
Hoshino Mika puffed up her cheeks, defiantly retorting, “I just… I just want to rember every mont with you firmly because…”
Her voice grew softer, and her cheeks turned a shade redder.
“Because what?” Chen Cheng prodded, a smirk on his lips.
Hoshino Mika bit her lip, gathering the courage to say, “Because… whenever I miss you, these mories are my sweetest solace.”
Her voice was soft, yet filled with heartfelt emotion, warming Chen Cheng’s heart.
“i Xiang, be good.”
“So, do you still rember the Japanese I taught you last ti?”
Chen Cheng: “Which phrase?”
i Xiang imdiately switched to teacher mode, “Let’s test you now, how do you say good morning?”
Chen Cheng smiled lightly, “tsu ma.”
“Look at you~! Again~” Hoshino Mika was about to correct him, but recalling the word Chen Cheng just said, she froze.
“tsu ma…”
She repeated softly, her cheeks flushing even more vividly.
Chen Cheng, watching the shy Hoshino Mika on the screen, clumsily said in Japanese, “i Xiang-chan, wife.”
Although Chen Cheng’s Japanese was not fluent, each word was clear, striking Hoshino Mika’s heart chord by chord.
“Brother Cheng…”
Hoshino Mika’s heartbeat raced, her cheeks burning hot as if on fire, she shyly lowered her head, not daring to look straight into Chen Cheng’s eyes, “You… say it again…”
Chen Cheng smiled, “When I am there, I’ll say it again.”
Hoshino Mika’s heart raced even faster, as if about to leap out of her chest.
“So… please co soon…”
“i Xiang, wait for , I will co over very soon.”
“Mhm!” Hoshino Mika nodded vigorously, her face beaming with happiness.
“Alright, it’s getting late, you should rest early.”
“Mhm, and you should rest early too, don’t work too hard.” Hoshino Mika advised, “I will be waiting obediently for you to co back.”
“Okay.” Chen Cheng nodded with a smile, “Good night, i Xiang.”
“Good night, Brother Cheng.”
After hanging up the video call, Chen Cheng closed his eyes.
The smile of i Xiang lingered in his mind stubbornly.
Such purity, such beauty, like sakura blossoms in spring, or fireflies glimring in the sumr night, enticing one to draw near, to cherish.
He got up and walked to the window, gazing into the night sky of Guiyang, his thoughts drifting far away.
But Chen Cheng also understood clearly, he had another video call to return.
He opened the dialogue box for Wen Shulin and dialed out.
“Finished?”
Wen Shulin adjusted her phone, though her gaze remained on her computer screen.
Chen Cheng watched her profile and asked with a smile, “What do you an finished?”
“I just called you twice, it was busy.” Wen Shulin turned around, looking at Chen Cheng on the screen, “Eh? Such a small county town has a Baoli hotel?”
