The rain was pouring down. Although Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli had a very unpleasant argument, they still thanked everyone who helped them go up the mountain to look for them.
Only Brother Yu remained. Jiang Ci went inside and took off her raincoat.
Zhou Mingli took the raincoat from her and went outside to hand it back to Brother Yu.
"Thank you so much, Brother Yu. It's raining so hard today, you should go back and take a hot shower and change your clothes." Zhou Mingli said to Brother Yu, "My wife and I are also completely soaked. Could you let Miaomiao and Yangyang stay at your house a little longer? My wife and I will get ready and then go pick them up."
"You two hurry up and pack your things, and don't catch a cold. Erzhu is here at my house, he'll definitely keep an eye on the two kids, so don't worry." Brother Yu waved to him, put on his raincoat, and said, "Then I'll be going now."
"Go slowly on the road."
Zhou Mingli watched his elder brother leave, then quickly walked to the eaves of the main house. "Jiang Ci, I'll go boil some water. After you change your clothes, remember to bring the hot water in and take a hot bath."
Jiang Ci's voice was icy, "No need."
Zhou Mingli stood outside the door and said to Jiang Ci inside the room, "Jiang Ci, there's a misunderstanding between us, and I think we need to talk it out."
"I don't want to repeat myself to you, Zhou Mingli. Don't mention who you like or how difficult it is for you and the person you like in front of me." Her voice was filled with gritted teeth. Although he couldn't see her, Zhou Mingli could feel her anger. "Otherwise, I really might not be able to resist hitting you."
As Zhou Mingli listened to her words, he had never realized so clearly how much Jiang Ci cared that he had someone he liked.
Zhou Mingli wiped his face, ran his fingers through his short hair, and gathered all the hair on his forehead behind his head.
His handsome, gaunt face was fully revealed, and he stood outside for a moment.
The next second, he pushed open the door.
Jiang Ci had just dried off the mud and water from her body and hadn't changed into clean clothes yet.
Hearing the door open, her eyes turned exceptionally cold. The person rushed in, reaching her in the blink of an eye.
His eyes didn't wander aimlessly; he only looked at the other person's face. "There's no one else here."
Faced with Jiang Ci's angry eyes, Zhou Mingli felt both helpless and resigned.
He turned around again and said, "It's easy to catch a cold if you don't take a shower. I'll go boil some water."
Zhou Mingli walked to the door, his voice low and gentle, "I do have someone I like."
"That person has never changed."
"She was my classmate in college, and my wife after graduation."
"Her name is Jiang Ci."
