Marriage as a Game

Chapter 62: You are not allowed to date in middle school, don’t you know?
Shang Jianghan has been flying back and forth between three cities abroad for the past month, and the project has finally come to an end.

This time he went out alone to discuss business on behalf of Lianzhong, and the hardships involved can be imagined.

Lianzhong is such a large multinational group that any move can affect the entire body. As the future heir, he has to be extremely cautious.

I finally returned home two days ago. As soon as I got off the plane and left the airport, I was blocked halfway by heavy snow.

After that, I stayed at the airport for half a day before smoothing things over and returning home.

Today, the snow on the city roads has been basically cleared, and he has taken a good rest for a day and a night. The first thing he naturally did was to visit the person he cares about most.

In the morning, Shang Jianghan first put the gifts he brought back from abroad in 1201 of Dongzhi Residential Area, and then walked to school.

He entered his office in the administrative building. Because no one had been in for a long time, the air inside was stuffy. The first thing he did when he came in was to open the west window.

Outside the west window is the small courtyard of the administrative building. Because it is of no use, the trees are allowed to grow wildly. In the summer, there will be mosquitoes when the windows are open, but in the winter it is quiet here.

He reached out and opened the window, and a cold wind blew in.

The day after the snow is much colder than when it snows. The snowflakes on the branches are still hanging on them without any human intervention. They look like a sea of ​​white branches, pure and spotless.

In this vast expanse of white snow, the sight of a man and a woman standing face to face can only be seen at a glance.

Shang Jianghan smiled disdainfully at first. Middle school students dating? It happens all the time.

When he was about to retract his hand, it accidentally touched a branch nearby. The snowflakes on the branch were too loose and scattered all over the place.

Then, there was a sound of "Ah!" and a girl screamed.

A pair of students standing in the yard looked up at the same time.

Shang Jianghan was about to withdraw his hand when his eyes were fixed on what he saw.

"Tsk!" He chuckled unconsciously in his throat.

Shen Chaoxi was about to open his mouth to refuse the bouquet of red roses, but before he could get his words out, snowflakes fell from the sky and covered his head and neck.

It was so cold that she shivered.

The weather was calm at this time, and there was only one possibility that snowflakes would fall for no reason.

Shen Chaoxi looked up. The angle she was standing at just happened to allow her to see the only open aluminum window on the third floor.

And that cold white hand was still on the window frame.

"Shen Chaoxi!"

Shang Jianghan stuck his head out and called out downwards.

Gao Fan realized something, pushed the rose into Shen Chaoxi's arms, and ran away.

Shen Chaoxi: ...

The girl was wearing a white mid-length down jacket with her ponytail neatly combed behind her head. As she raised her head, a large part of her hair was tucked into her neck.

There were large flakes of snow on her head, falling down when she looked up.

The bunch of fiery red roses looked particularly dazzling in the vast expanse of white.

Shen Chaoxi didn't expect that after not seeing each other for more than a month, they would meet again at this time and in this kind of situation.

The process of her and Gao Fan pulling a bunch of roses must have been seen clearly by the person upstairs!

Shen Chaoxi had good eyesight and could clearly see that the handsome face on the third floor had a hint of anger.

"Come up!"

Having said this, the open window on the third floor was slammed shut.

A few minutes later, Shen Chaoxi stood at the door of Shang Jianghan's office.

"Why are you standing there? Come in!"

At this time, the office door was open, and Shang Jianghan was waiting at the door, with his hands in his pockets, looking eagerly.

Shen Chaoxi slowly walked into the door.

After the office door was closed, Shang Jianghan walked to the sofa area and sat down.

"Teacher Shang, I have to explain, nothing happened to us!"

She couldn't wait to speak before the other party asked. Shang Jianghan frowned and looked at her, and when his eyes were fixed on the dazzling red rose, his eyes darkened.

"You're not allowed to date in middle school, don't you know?"

"I didn't. Mr. Shang, what you see may not be true. I just told him something and was about to leave when you caught me. How unlucky!"

There was a lot of complaint and grievance in the girl's voice.

Shang Jianghan leaned back against the sofa, crossed his legs, and hung his arms lazily on the armrests on both sides. He looked towards Shen Chaoxi indifferently.

"Talk about business? There's no place where we can't talk about it. Why do we have to meet in such a remote place? And, talking about business also involves sending flowers?"

"Oh! I didn't want it, but he forced it on me. If you hadn't scared me, Mr. Shang, I wouldn't have taken the flower!"

Shen Chaoxi suddenly felt that he was holding a hot potato in his hand.

"Ha! So it's still my fault?" Shang Jianghan was so angry that he laughed.

Seeing that his expression had eased, Shen Chaoxi walked over.

"Teacher Shang, let me lend you some flowers." Shen Chaoxi looked around as he spoke. There happened to be a blue-and-white porcelain vase with flowers on the low table next to the tea table. There was a bunch of dried flowers that had withered in it.

Shen Chaoxi did not ask Shang Jianghan's opinion, and walked over quickly, took down the bunch of dried flowers, and quickly opened the bouquet of roses and put each branch into the blue-and-white porcelain vase.

The girl's hands are delicate and fair, and look even whiter against the backdrop of the fiery red roses.

Shang Jianghan stared at her every move with his dark eyes, somewhat reluctant to leave her sight.

The mountain spring water in the teapot made gurgling sounds, and wisps of smoke slowly rose from the mouth of the pot.

By the time Shang Jianghan looked away and poured hot tea into the cup in front of him, Shen Chaoxi had already brought over the porcelain vase containing roses.

"Look, it matches your porcelain vase so well, red matches blue and white, the colors go so well together!"

The snowflakes on the girl's head had turned into raindrops, soaking the loose hair on her forehead. Her fair face had been outside for a long time, and as soon as she entered the house, the alternating cold and hot weather gave it a faint pink blush, and her tender pink thin lips had not yet recovered and were stained with a light white.

Shang Jianghan nodded his chin, motioned for her to sit down, and pushed a cup of hot tea to her.

Black tea is warming and has a light fragrance.

"Well, this flower matches the porcelain vase, but not you."

The man's voice was calm and he showed no joy.

"Oh!" Shen Chaoxi put down the vase, sat down, and reached out to pick up the glass of water, but was caught by a big hand in mid-air.

She was stunned and wanted to pull away.

The fair little hand was already completely cold, and it was embedded in the warm and dry big palm, and the cold and hot feelings alternated instantly.

The big palm was not soft. The palm had thin calluses and was pressed against the skin. It was hard but solid.

"Freeze yourself into an ice cube just to talk to someone?"

Shang Jianghan held his hand for a moment and then let go.

"Ah, there is something I need to clarify, the sooner the better!"

Shen Chaoxi held the hot tea in both hands and brought it to his lips to enjoy the hot steam.

She pretended that what just happened didn't happen.

The two were speechless for a moment, and the room fell into silence.

It's 1:50 and there are still ten minutes before class starts.

Shen Chaoxi finished the cup of hot tea, put the cup down, stood up and was about to leave.

"Teacher Shang, I'm going back to class."

Shang Jianghan raised his eyes to look at her.

"Well, go ahead, let's have dinner together tonight."

Shen Chaoxi came out of the administrative building, still wondering what it meant to have dinner together.

It was not until after school, when she and Zhongli wrapped themselves up tightly and left the school, that they ran into Shang Jianghan who was waiting there. Only then did they learn that he would be staying in Dongzhi tonight.
