"I already have one, you can wear it yourself." Shiyue refused the military coat.

She hesitated for a moment, then rummaged through the bundle containing the quilt that was lying on the ground. She then took out a pair of fleece pants, a pair of thermal underwear, and a pair of leather cotton shoes from inside the bundle.

She shoved all those things into He Lixuan's hands: "Find a place to change."

These were all items she had exchanged in the group chat before.

I originally planned to give it to this person when the train arrived at the station, but as the train headed north, the temperature kept dropping.

Shiyue has already changed into thick fleece pants, but her knees still feel so cold they hurt.

He Lixuan is definitely wearing less clothing than me; he must be freezing right now.

He Lixuan was shocked to see Shiyue suddenly pull out this pile of things.

"When did you buy it?" he couldn't help but ask.

“A few days ago,” Shiyue said, unwilling to elaborate, “you should hurry up and change your spot and come back quickly, lest someone else take it away from you.”

As she spoke, she gave He Lixuan a push.

He Lixuan now senses that Shi Yue has a secret.

But who doesn't have things they don't want to tell others?

She was unwilling to talk about it, and He Lixuan didn't ask any more questions. He agreed, took the clothes, and left.

I don't know where he changed his clothes, but it certainly didn't take long.

A short while later he returned carrying his pair of simple canvas shoes.

He had clearly covered himself with all his other clothes, not taking any off.

Shiyue gave him a few newspapers. He Lixuan wrapped his shoes up, tied them with a rope, and then fastened them to his backpack strap.

He sat down next to Shiyue.

After seemingly hesitating for a moment, he took off his coat, squeezed closer to Shiyue, and then covered both of them with the coat.

This was the first time He Lixuan had taken the initiative to show affection to Shiyue, especially in such a public setting.

Shiyue couldn't help but turn her head and glance at him.

Noticing Shi Yue's gaze, He Lixuan's face flushed slightly, but he said nothing and simply closed his eyes.

At the same time, he reached out and firmly wrapped his arms around Shiyue's waist from under his coat, pulling her into his embrace.

He then used his other hand to hug her tightly.

Shiyue did not resist, but quietly nestled in He Lixuan's arms, pressing her face against his chest.

She could hear the man's rapid heartbeat, a far cry from the calm he displayed.

Shi Yue chuckled softly, shifted in He Lixuan's arms to find the most comfortable position, then wrapped her arms around him and slowly closed her eyes.

Shiyue slept soundly, even in that position, at an absolutely uncomfortable angle.

Perhaps because she was in the arms of someone she trusted, she slept very soundly.

I was awakened by the sound of a train whistle.

The train has arrived at the station.

She moved.

He Lixuan was clearly also awakened by the sound, and his expression was still somewhat dazed.

He shook his head, supported himself on the ground and slowly sat up, saying to Shiyue, who had also just sat up, "We've arrived at the station, get up."

The two were seated at the junction of two carriages, so they got off the train earlier than others and exited the train station earlier as well.

Upon exiting the station, both of them were stunned.

While at the station, neither of them was fully awake, so they didn't pay much attention.

Once they came out, they found that everything was covered in snow, the trees and houses were all white, and the worst part was that they couldn't see any roads at all!

"Where do we go next?" Shiyue asked.

"Wait a moment," He Lixuan replied.

He looked around.

It was 4:30 pm, but because of the snow, it looked like it was almost completely dark.

If they don't immediately ask someone for directions or find a place to stay, the two of them will likely be stranded at the train station tonight!

The key issue is that the train station here is very small, with only one platform and a few small buildings. There is no waiting room, let alone a place for people to rest.

He Lixuan was also anxious seeing this situation.

He told Shiyue to wait where she was, and then strode towards the small houses.

He Lixuan's trip back took a long time; Shiyue's legs were numb from the cold and he still hadn't returned.

Shiyue could only quietly put the heavy things from the package into the small house, preparing to carry the things over to find him.

Just as she had almost finished putting her things away, He Lixuan returned.

He didn't come from in front of the row of houses, but from a mule cart that came from behind.

There was a shed behind the mule cart, so Shiyue didn't see him immediately.

He Lixuan jumped out of the car and said to Shiyue, "I just found out that it's impossible for us to go to the cadre school tonight, there's no road access there at all. This Uncle Sun agreed to let us stay at his house tonight and he'll take us there tomorrow."

He reached for his luggage on the ground, and as he did so, he was taken aback.

Shiyue knew perfectly well why he was stunned.

To carry less, she left the blanket outside and stuffed everything inside into the small room, making the bundle much lighter!

But there's no way to explain it now.

She could only pretend that nothing had happened and walked ahead first.

She called out to the person driving the carriage ahead, "Thank you, Uncle Sun!"

Then he walked to the back and climbed onto the car.

He Lixuan quickly chased after her and pushed her upwards.

The two people sat down in the car.

Although there was a shed, it still couldn't keep out the biting cold.
