Waiting for the Stars to Fall

Chapter 68: Reach the stars

Beijing was cold at night, and passers-by looked at the couple embracing with envy. Jiang Tu listened to her, bent down and kissed her hair, and smiled. He took her into the car and whispered, "I'm afraid you won't be safe when I'm too busy to take care of you."

Zhu Xingyao fastened her seat belt and turned to look at him naturally: "Just take me wherever you're going."

Jiang Tu looked at her: "Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"

"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Xingyao blinked, "You are so beautiful."

Jiang Tu was stunned and looked at her with half-closed eyes.

Zhu Xingyao asked: "Hasn't anyone praised you for your good looks?"

Jiang Tu has never cared much about appearance. After all, for him, good looks cannot make a living. He suddenly remembered that Lin Jiayu’s requirement for her boyfriend is to be good-looking. Is it the same for all girls

He put his arms around her neck, pressed her towards him, leaned over, and kissed her.

Zhu Xingyao was caught off guard, and she groaned, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She tilted her face to accept his sudden and urgent kiss, feeling her heart about to jump out. She reached out to hug him, and her slightly cool fingertips touched his neck. Jiang Tu's body stiffened, and he turned his face to continue kissing her.

After the long kiss, Jiang Tu's breathing became heavier. He leaned against her forehead and whispered, "Yes, but this is the first time you said that."

"Really?" Zhu Xingyao couldn't quite remember. She seemed to have praised him for looking better without glasses. "Then should I praise you more in the future?"

Jiang Tu lowered his head and smiled, saying, "No, this is enough."

It was already past eleven o'clock when they returned to the hotel. Weichuang Technology's press conference tomorrow would be held on the third floor of this hotel. Jiang Tu's room was in a large suite on the top floor. He swiped his card to open the door and took Zhu Xingyao in.

"The suite is full. I didn't know you were coming..." Jiang Tu put the suitcase in the living room and looked down at her. "Please make do with it tonight. I'll change it for you tomorrow after the press conference ends and someone checks out."

Zhu Xingyao told him the flight number after getting on the plane. She reached out and hugged him, whispering, "No need to change. You've slept in my room for two nights before."

Jiang Tu lowered his eyes and looked at her: "That's different."

Zhu Xingyao asked what was different. Jiang Tu smiled and didn't answer. Then he was called away by Lao Yuan.

There were two men's suits hanging in the closet. Zhu Xingyao hung all her clothes in there, leaving only a cotton suspender nightgown. She took her toiletries and went to take a shower. She stood under the shower head, nervously thinking about what Jiang Tu meant by "different".

At half past twelve in the middle of the night, Zhu Xingyao blew her hair dry, carefully wiped her face and body lotion, and sat on the bed drowsily. She sent a WeChat message to Jiang Tu, asking him when he would be back.

Jiang Tu refused the cigarette handed over by Lao Yuan and replied with his head down: "You go to bed first, no need to wait for me, I have a spare room card."

Old Yuan smiled and asked in a low voice, "Is Zhu Xingyao really here?"

Jiang Tu hummed calmly, raised his head and asked, "Anything else? Keep talking, and go to bed early after you're done."

An hour later, Jiang Tu opened the door. Only the light in the corridor was on, as if it was reserved for him. The further he walked inside, the dimmer the light became. Jiang Tu walked into the inner room. The room was well heated. Zhu Xingyao only occupied a small space on the two-meter-wide bed. She was covered with a thin quilt and fell asleep.

Jiang Tu sat down on the edge of the bed. He could see her face clearly in the dim light. He saw her thin white straps and fair shoulders.

He held her face in his hands and murmured to himself, "You really have no defenses against me at all..." She could sleep so soundly in his bed like this. Did she trust him too much

Zhu Xingyao had always been a light sleeper, and she woke up as soon as he touched her face.

As soon as she opened her eyes, a shadow fell in front of her eyes. A familiar smell approached. She called out "Brother Tu". Jiang Tu took off his glasses, leaned over and kissed her deeply. Zhu Xingyao shrank her shoulders upwards. She had different feelings every time she kissed Jiang Tu, fierce, restrained, gentle...

Now, Jiang Tu was eager and strong, kissing her until she almost suffocated. The white shoulder straps hung on her arms, and her body bore his weight. Her fingers grasped his short hair, and she closed her eyes tightly and gasped with her mouth open. She suddenly understood what he meant by "different". She was not his girlfriend last time.

Now, they are a couple.

Intimacy between lovers is natural and reasonable.

Even someone as cold and abstinent as Jiang Tu can lose control sometimes.

Jiang Tu raised his head from her, pulled the blanket over her and covered her again. He closed his eyes restrainedly, rubbed her hair lovingly, and said in a tense and hoarse voice: "I'm going to take a shower, you continue to sleep, I'll sleep on the sofa outside later."

He propped himself up, but Zhu Xingyao suddenly grabbed his hand and whispered, "The bed is so big, why are you sleeping on the sofa?"

Jiang Tu looked down at her and took her hand away with difficulty, "I'm going to take a shower first."

He turned and walked towards the bedroom, closing the door.

Zhu Xingyao's cheeks were hot and she felt a little pain in her chest. She got up and turned on the wall lamp. When she sat up, she felt something was wrong, as if her period had come. She got out of bed, opened her suitcase, took out her sanitary napkin and clean underwear, and stood at the bathroom door, waiting anxiously.

Isn't Jiang Tu taking a shower? Why is there no sound of water for so long

After a long time, she heard a very suppressed groan, and the whole person froze outside the door.

In the bathroom, Jiang Tu's eyes were slightly red. He lowered his eyelashes, took a long, deep breath, and turned on the cold water.

Ten minutes later, the bathroom door opened and Jiang Tu came out wearing a black T-shirt and sweatpants. He was stunned when he saw her standing at the door. Zhu Xingyao ran into the bathroom with her things in her arms, lowered her head, and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Jiang Tu saw the open suitcase on the floor and the things inside, and understood.

Zhu Xingyao stood in front of the mirror and saw that her neck was covered with red spots left by him. She touched it and it hurt a little. She came out of the bathroom with a red face and saw him standing by the table with a cold expression, lowering his head and waiting for the water to boil. He had returned to his cold and indifferent look. This man was quite different...

Zhu Xingyao walked over, Jiang Tu poured a cup of boiled water, added some mineral water, handed it to her, and asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

He remembered that when she was in high school, she would be so upset that she would lie on the table with a pale face.

Zhu Xingyao held the water cup, took a sip, and looked up at him: "A little bit..."

It was already past two in the morning, but Jiang Tu didn't sleep on the sofa. He turned off the wall lamp and lay down with Zhu Xingyao in his arms. Zhu Xingyao seemed to have lost her sleepiness. She leaned in his arms and said curiously, "Brother Tu, I heard that all the boys in the university dormitory would get together to watch that kind of movie. Do you do that?"

Jiang Tu paused, then looked down at her and asked, "Who told you that?"

Zhu Xingyao said: "What Xixi said is also in novels and movies."

She just found it difficult to connect these things with him. Jiang Tu was a loner when he was a teenager. He didn't play basketball, play games, or go to Internet cafes. He seemed not to do anything that other boys would do.

Jiang Tu was silent for a few seconds. He smiled helplessly: "Don't think I'm so out of touch with the world." Of course Lao Yuan and the others had seen it in the dormitory. They never avoided it. Inevitably, he must have seen it too.

Zhu Xingyao thought of the intimacy just now and the muffled groan she overheard, and said shyly, "I didn't."

Jiang Tu had been too busy these days and had hardly had a good rest. He put his hands on her eyes, closed her eyes, and whispered, "Go to sleep."

Jiang Tu woke up at seven o'clock the next morning. He looked down at Zhu Xingyao in his arms.

Zhu Xingyao woke up at nine in the morning. When she was putting on makeup, the phone in the room rang. She answered it and ran to open the door. There was a robot standing outside the door, bringing her breakfast.

"Thank you..." Zhu Xingyao took the breakfast and couldn't help smiling.

She took out a note from her bag, which Jiang Tu had written with his left hand.

Did he plan to write notes to her with his left hand from now on

At 9:50, Zhu Xingyao walked to the exhibition hall on the third floor, where many robots were displayed. The robot placed in front of the big screen was "Xiao Jiang", the new product to be released today. There were many people in the exhibition hall, including customers, partners and media reporters.

Zhu Xingyao, wearing a fisherman's hat, lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Tu: "There are so many people inside, I won't go in."

After a while, Lao Yuan ran out in a hurry and found her: "Jiang Tu asked me to take you in. I left a side seat for you. Just be careful. No one should pay attention to you."

The remote location was between a display cabinet and the wall, just enough to separate a space. Zhu Xingyao sat there, looking at Jiang Tu, who was wearing a black suit and had a calm look on the stage. He raised his hand to push his glasses, and his voice was always low and cold: "The on-call service is the latest successfully tested function. Customers can set the call object by themselves, but only one can be set."

Zhu Xingyao was stunned. Was the test successful

Then why don’t you help her fix Xiao Jiang

Behind me, a girl exclaimed: "This CTO is so handsome, I wonder if he has a girlfriend."

The person next to her said, "How can he be single when he is so handsome?"

On stage, the host asked: "How did you come up with the idea of developing this feature?"

Jiang Tu said: "Personal reasons."

The host laughed and joked: "Because of your girlfriend?"

Jiang Tu was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Yeah."

There was an uproar in the audience, and the host said excitedly: "So romantic! Whoever said that engineering men are not romantic, I will be angry with him!"

Zhu Xingyao was stunned for a moment. She looked at Jiang Tu, who was standing on the stage with a cold expression, and thought of the eighty-seven love letters and the star lights. How could someone who could write a love letter every Friday and spend more than a month making a star light not be romantic? It's just that no one knows.

The girl behind him snorted: "I knew it, he's so handsome, how could he not have a girlfriend! I wonder if his girlfriend is pretty..."

Zhu Xingyao thought to herself, of course she is beautiful.

There was a press conference, a signing ceremony, and so on, and the whole process took a very long time. Zhu Xingyao felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach and was afraid of being recognized, so she went back to her room after more than an hour.

Zhu Xingyao was lying on the bed, and called Li Xixi, telling her that he was in Beijing. Li Xixi asked excitedly: "So, you slept in the same bed last night? Don't tell me you just covered yourself with a blanket, chatted, and slept."

Zhu Xingyao said: "That's true."

Li Xixi: “…”

Zhu Xingyao said embarrassedly: "I have my period."

The video and press release of the press conference were released and promoted in the afternoon. In the evening, when Zhu Xingyao and Jiang Tu were having dinner, Jiang Lu’s live broadcast room exploded again, and the screen was full of "God K, I saw your brother!" "Everyone go search for the Weichuang Technology press conference, there is a surprise!" "Honestly, I think the brother is more handsome!"

Jiang Lu was so scared that he almost threw the keyboard. He suddenly remembered that his brother was holding a new product launch conference in Beijing today.

He pretended to be calm and said, "What are you talking about? I don't know, and I don't know what Wei Chuang Technology is."

Zhou Yan next to him turned around and scratched his head: "That... Brother, you may not be able to pretend anymore. Last time, your brother's name was revealed in the live broadcast room. Now at the press conference, the name and photo are all there. I searched the information and everything matched up."

Jiang Lu: “…”

The corners of his mouth twitched. God is going to kill me!

A few minutes later, Lin Jiayu called. She was furious: "I knew you must have done something bad. No wonder you ran so fast that day and posted such a mess on Weibo."

Jiang Lu was inexplicably puzzled: "Why are you more anxious than me?"

Lin Jiayu wanted to cry but had no tears: "Because I might be even worse off than you."

Lin Jiayu saw the hot topic in the fan group. Jiang Tu’s photo was screenshot and sent to the group. Someone asked her: Is Jiang Xing’s prototype Jiang Tu

So, the story of "Waiting for the Stars" is about Jiang Tu and Zhu Xingyao

The author has something to say: Brother Tu, I can tell you responsibly that girls are all obsessed with looks! Fortunately, you are good-looking!
