After finishing their hot pot, the four of them walked out of the restaurant and stood stiffly rubbing their hands together in the freezing cold.
"Are you two going back to school or back to your rented apartment?" Li Weiya asked.
She only found out about the two living together afterward, but it wasn't surprising. In her opinion, if Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan weren't under the legal marriage age, they probably would have gotten their marriage certificate long ago.
Jiang Xia looked at his wife.
"Let's go back to school. Tomorrow is Monday, and I have classes in the morning," Lin Yanwan said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, let's hurry back then, it's terribly cold outside." Li Weiya exhaled a puff of white breath. She was wearing a trench coat today, and it wasn't enough to keep up with the sub-zero temperatures in the capital at night.
"Where's Amin?" Jiang Xia asked Old Wang.
"I don't have class tomorrow morning, but I have to go back to work overtime later," Wang Ming said.
Jiang Xia nodded. "Then we'll head back now."
The two did not ride bicycles but chose to walk back, mainly because it was too cold to ride bicycles in the wind.
Lin Yanwan was dressed very warmly today, wearing a winter hat, scarf, down jacket, and gloves. Jiang Xia jokingly said he looked like a ball, and as a result, he was chased and beaten by the ball.
After playing around for a while, Jiang Xia finally hugged her and breathed softly.
Lin Yanwan linked arms with him, humming the theme song of Slam Dunk softly. She suddenly said, "By the way, honey, this song is more suitable for a guy to sing. Why don't you sing it?"
"Forget it."
Jiang Xia smiled and shook his head. Although he wasn't tone-deaf and his singing voice was decent, the theme song still needed to be done by a professional.
"It would be better if Haruko sang it herself," he said with a smile.
In his plan, Lin Yanwan will voice Akagi Haruko, and if she also sings this youthful and energetic theme song, it will be a killer move!
I remember when I was in high school, countless boys mustered up the courage to confess their feelings to the girls they liked after listening to this song.
"You really want me to sing this? But this is supposed to be the song Sakuragi sang for Haruko." Lin Yanwan said with a smile in her eyes.
Jiang Xia blinked. "I know, if you sing, it means Qingzi has received this love, right?"
Lin Yanwan lowered her head and pondered it carefully for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed a valid interpretation.
"Then I'll sing." She didn't refuse and readily accepted the offer.
"No one is more suitable than you."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
On their way back to the dormitory, the two unexpectedly bumped into Qiu Ting, who was riding her bicycle out of the school.
"Hey, Qiu Ting, where are you going?" Lin Yanwan stopped her.
"Um... Sister Yanwan." Qiu Ting immediately straightened her back when she saw Jiang Xia. "Hello, boss!"
Recalling her first training session at the company, Qiu Ting was completely bewildered to see her colleagues calling Jiang Xia "boss."
So, does that mean Qitian Animation belongs to him?
Cat and mouse are his too?
So Sister Yanwan is the boss's wife?
For children from the mountains, this news was as shocking as an atomic bomb!
Therefore, she is able to have this job because of the special care that Sister Yanwan has given her.
"Qiu Ting, I've told you so many times, don't call me boss when we're out." Jiang Xia sighed helplessly. Why couldn't this child remember?
"Yes, boss." Qiu Ting nodded vigorously.
Lin Yanwan couldn't help but keep laughing.
"Qiu Ting, where are you planning to go now?" Lin Yanwan asked.
Qiu Ting exhaled a soft breath and pointed to the backpack on her back. "Brother Su's manuscript is finished. I need to send it to the company as soon as possible so that the production of the middle sheet can proceed smoothly tomorrow."
Hearing this, Jiang Xia felt a slight smile to herself; this kid was working quite hard.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It's not hard work at all, it's all what I should do."
Qiu Ting shook her head vigorously. Compared to farming, this was just errand running. No, it wasn't even errand running; she was riding a bicycle.
"Is anyone still in the office?" Jiang Xia asked.
Qiu Ting nodded. "There's another editor here, but he told me to hurry up because he's about to go home after get off work."
Jiang Xia thought for a moment, then took the key to the front door and handed it to her. That way, she could go to the company anytime. It was late at night, and being flustered was the easiest way to cause trouble.
"Qiu Ting, here are the keys. I'm happy that you're working hard, but don't rush like this in the future. You can't rush like this. If something happens, how am I supposed to explain it to your grandmother?"
"Oh... thank you, brother... thank you, brother Jiang Xia." Qiu Ting took the company keys with embarrassment and put them in her bag, feeling that she had made others worry about her again.
"I'll head to the office now!"
"Okay, go ahead, ride slowly and be careful."
As the bicycle disappeared quickly into the night, Lin Yanwan remarked, "Qiu Ting is really pushing herself too hard."
"It's more accurate to say that we're conscientious and responsible in our work," Jiang Xia said with a smile. "That's how production works. We have to get the artwork to the next stage as soon as possible, otherwise the whole team will be delayed."
Lin Yanwan nodded; she understood this principle.
"By the way, how is Qiu Ting doing at the company these days?"
She didn't get involved in animation production, so she only noticed that Qiu Ting was usually very busy and would often arrive at the classroom breathless just a minute before the bell rang.
"As you can see, she has never been late once and has always completed her work within the stipulated time."
As Jiang Xia spoke, he couldn't help but recall Su Qing's complaint: "Qiu Ting asks Su's mother 'Is the drawing finished?' twenty or thirty times a day. Now, whenever he sees Qiu Ting's avatar flashing, he gets a conditioned reflex of fear."
"Hahaha, Qiu Ting is really torturing you."
“Indeed, those who know better might think it’s a request for a manuscript, but those who don’t might think it’s a request for a debt,” Jiang Xia said with a smile.
He has a deep understanding of this experience. Which creator hasn't been urged to update? Even writers are constantly being urged to update by readers.
The two strolled back to their dormitory building, and Jiang Xia gently kissed his wife goodbye.
When Lin Yanwan returned to her dormitory and opened the door, she saw that Si Si was actually holding Cui Jiaying's hand.
"What are you two doing?" she asked, gently closing the door.
Cui Jiaying was startled by Lin Yanwan's sudden return. Qiu Ting had just left, but wasn't she supposed to be living off-campus with her lover?
"Why are you back!"
"I have class tomorrow morning, can't I come back?" Lin Yanwan's expression was strange; there seemed to be something wrong with these two. "So what are you doing?"
"Ahem, we are..." Cui Jiaying blushed and subtly withdrew her hand.
"I'm telling Yingying's fortune," Si Si calmly took over the conversation.
"oh."
Lin Yanwan nodded. Si Si usually liked to read books about constellations and zodiac signs, but she didn't understand why fortune telling had to be done in such a secretive way.
"But you, you ran off to live with your lover over the weekend, and now you've finally decided to come back!"
Cui Jiaying crossed her arms and pretended to be the one to accuse the other.
