The weather got even colder after Double Eleven, and Chaoge became a complete stay-at-home. Even when Han Lin was on night shift, he had to think carefully before deciding whether to make a midnight snack for Han Lin and then brave the cold wind to bring it to him.

It was too cold, Chaoge said he couldn't bear it.

Sometimes Chaoge really didn't want to go out, and couldn't sleep because he tossed and turned alone, so he would make himself a cup of milk tea late at night and stay up late in the study to paint.

They had no heating at home, so Chaoge bought an electric heater during Singles' Day.

It was late at night, and only a small light was on in Chaoge's study. The pale yellow glow of the electric heater at his feet made the whole room warmer and more comfortable.

Sometimes when Chaoge was painting, Han Lin would call to check on her. When he saw that Chaoge was still awake, he would chatter on and on like a nagging old man, urging Chaoge to go to bed and rest quickly.

Chaoge nodded repeatedly, but after hanging up the video, he still sat in the same seat without moving.

I can't sleep alone anyway, so I might as well use this time to do more work so that I can rest more during the day.

Chaoge fell asleep in the study again and was pulled out by Han Lin who came home early the next day.

Chaoge was still not awake, and she clung to Han Lin in a daze, clinging to him like a little bear and refusing to get off.

Han Lin was both angry and amused, so he had no choice but to hug Chaoge and walk to the bedroom to catch up on some sleep with him.

"Don't do this again next time." Han Lin warned in a low voice.

Chaoge smacked his lips, thinking he was eating fried chicken wings in his dream, they were so delicious.

Winter is especially long for people who are afraid of cold.

Chaoge buried herself in the quilt, feeling that this winter had lasted for half a year, but in fact, the winter solstice had not even arrived yet.

He sighed slowly, feeling that all the energy in his body had been taken away by the cold.

"Aunt Li said they are having hotpot today and asked us to go over and eat with them." Han Lin said to Chaoge before leaving.

Chaoge shrank her neck and gestured hesitantly: [Ah…]

"Don't want to go?" Han Lin asked.

[It’s cold, I just want to stay home.] Chaoge gestured honestly.

"If you don't want to go, just stay home." Han Lin frowned and touched Chaoge's neck with the back of his hand. "Isn't the electric heater on at home? Why are you still so cold?"

[I don't know, it's just cold.] Chaoge gestured, [I envy people in the north for having heating.]

"I'll have a chance to use it later," Han Lin said. "I heard from our dean that the city has plans for floor heating this year, but it still depends on the area. The residential buildings in the high-tech zone should be the first to get it."

[Why there?] Chaoge was puzzled.

"My goodness, don't you see how much the house prices are over there? This project is said to be a government plan, but it is actually done by the developer himself, who relies on this gimmick to buy houses at a higher price." Han Lin said.

Chaoge felt uncomfortable.

"Anyway, there's a plan, so this is just the beginning. It will gradually become more common in the future." Han Lin said, "If you're really cold, just boil some water to soak your feet. Try not to turn on the air conditioner at home, otherwise you'll catch a cold again."

It's strange, every winter when Chaoge turns on the air conditioner at home, he will catch a cold and get sick.

Chaoge nodded to indicate that she understood, "Let's go, we're going to be late."

Han Lin nodded, leaned over and kissed Chaoge on the forehead, then lowered his head and kissed her chubby little mouth.

They both kissed briefly.

"Tell me whether you are going to Room 404 later or not. We will see you in the evening." After Han Lin said this, he waved to Chaoge and went downstairs to work.

Chaoge watched him leave and went straight to the big bed in the bedroom without stopping.

Winter is the time to be covered with a quilt!
