Chapter 168: The Jingwei Project Ends.

"That's great!" Hearing Jiang Chengcheng's words, Liang Chengshan finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least the situation wasn't as bad as they had thought.

Jiang Chengcheng didn't tell anyone about the last original manuscript, so as not to make them worry anymore.

Now that Jiang Chengcheng's life is back on track, and the system updates more and more frequently, she can't rely on the system's cheat code forever.

The matter of the destroyed laboratory came to an end, and Zhao Yanhai was sent to the State Security Bureau for questioning. As for what happened afterward, Jiang Chengcheng had no idea.

Of course, unsurprisingly, even though his "homeland," the United States, knew he had been arrested, it did not come forward to bail him out, and even claimed that he was framing someone for the issue of his US green card.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Jingwei Project is finally coming to an end. Learning from the experience of the last time, Xiao Shan increased the number of soldiers patrolling the laboratory entrance. Fortunately, nothing went wrong in the end, and Jiang Chengcheng successfully restored the last draft of the system with her paintbrush.

"Great! It's done! It's done! Ten islands spewing sand in one day! Who else can do that!"

"Chief Engineer Jiang is truly amazing! I swear from today onwards, she is my new idol."

"Me too!"

"Waaaaah! I can finally go home and see my wife!"

"That's way too much! Your wife will laugh herself to death if she finds out!"

"This is a groundbreaking invention! Hahaha! I've made history!"

"What's the point of being remembered in history! I want a separate genealogy record!"

It was another beautiful, sunny day, and the laboratory was filled with enthusiastic cheers. The Jingwei Project had been a complete success.

This time, Jiang Chengcheng and the others finally boarded the plane home.

Looking back, this experiment took a full six months, and I wonder if my family and Sirius were worried sick.

After the plane landed, Jiang Chengcheng refused to be picked up or dropped off. After saying goodbye to everyone, she first called her family to let them know she had arrived safely.

Then his finger pointed to the name of the person he had received countless missed calls from over the past six months.

The phone was answered almost instantly after the ringtone vibrated.

"Hello? Sirius, I'm home." Jiang Chengcheng herself didn't realize that her voice trembled slightly, and her longing for home overflowed from her heart.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone; Sirius seemed to be trying to figure out if he was hallucinating.

half an hour.

A familiar, suppressed voice came from the phone.

"...My little girl, welcome home. I just miss you so much. If you ever lose contact for this long again...I'll go crazy...I want to be with you every moment."

Jiang Chengcheng was moved by Sirius's words but could not make any promises.

Because of the nature of her work and her abilities, it was impossible for her to always be a gentle and attentive girlfriend, accompanying her partner at all times; that was not part of her life plan.

“I might…not be able to…I can’t make a promise to you about Sirius, just as you can’t reciprocate my feelings. But I promise that every single moment I have free time will belong to my family and to you.” Jiang Chengcheng said this with hesitation, afraid that her words might hurt Sirius.

"...You really don't know how to say sweet words. Can't you at least try to coax me?" After a long while, Sirius chuckled softly, feeling helpless about Jiang Chengcheng's lack of romantic flair. However, considering her age, he thought it was normal.

“Um… well… I miss you too… I want to be with you every moment~” Jiang Chengcheng tried to salvage the situation by hearing the sadness in Sirius’s voice.

"Okay, I guess you probably won't find a girlfriend in this world who's more perfunctory than you." Upon hearing Jiang Chengcheng's somewhat "touching" words, Sirius completely gave up trying to win her over.

"Hehe, well, what can I do? I have a boyfriend who's so tolerant of me," Jiang Chengcheng replied with a hint of smugness.

"Yes, I can't do anything with you. I have a trip to China next month. Are you back in Beijing for school now?" Sirius thought about how he hadn't seen his little girl for almost half a year, and his longing for her grew stronger.

"Yes, I'll be in Beijing recently. Remember to let me know when you arrive, and I'll find a way to pick you up." Although Jiang Chengcheng couldn't openly pick up Sirius, given her current status, it wouldn't be difficult for her to find another excuse.

"Okay, where are you now?" When Sirius heard that Jiang Chengcheng was going to pick him up in person, his previously low spirits instantly lifted, and he was filled with anticipation for his trip to China.

"I'm heading to my home in Beijing right now. In a few days, I plan to go back to W City and bring my parents here to live with me." Jiang Chengcheng had been at the experimental base for half a year, and now that school was on summer vacation, she was coming to Beijing to prepare for bringing her parents over. In the future, she and her sister would likely focus their work in Beijing. Since they already had a house, she decided to discuss it with her parents and have the whole family move to Beijing.

"Really? That's great! It will be easier for us to meet in the future." Sirius can't go to W City every time he visits China. If it goes on for too long, their relationship might become a secret. Although he doesn't mind, Jiang Chengcheng does. But the capital of China is different. It will be much easier for them to meet.

The two chatted for a while longer before Sirius, having to attend to official business, reluctantly hung up the phone with Jiang Chengcheng.

……

the next day.

Jiang Chengcheng set off for W City early in the morning.

This time, she had her family driver take her, since she was moving and some valuables were not suitable for shipping.

After arranging for the driver, Jiang Chengcheng went home.

When Cheng Juan learned that her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for more than half a year, was coming back, she wanted to cook every dish she knew how to make. The table was set up with what could be called a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

As soon as Jiang Chengcheng entered the room, she was greeted by an irresistible fragrance.

"Mom! I'm back!" Jiang Chengcheng called out as she entered the room. Cheng Juan and Jiang Yue came out a moment later.

"You're back, my daughter!"

"Are you getting used to being there, Chengcheng?"

When Cheng Juan and Jiang Yue saw Jiang Chengcheng, they showered her with concern and their joy was palpable.

"Where's my dad? He's not back yet?" Jiang Chengcheng asked, seeing that only her mother and sister were home.

"Oh! Your dad won't get off work until noon, so we'll probably have to wait a while. Let's eat first," Cheng Juan replied.

After Jiang Chengcheng followed the two back into the house, she saw a table full of dishes in front of her.

"Mom, you've made way too much. We can't possibly finish it all," Jiang Chengcheng said, staring in disbelief at the Manchu Han Imperial Feast in front of her.

"Oh! Look, you're back! It's not like we eat this every day! Try it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold!" Cheng Juan said, placing the served food in front of Jiang Chengcheng.

Jiang Chengcheng was moved by the scene before her, but also felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

As the saying goes, there's a kind of fullness that only your parents feel you're not getting enough to eat!
