Shang Ziming glanced at the puddles on the road, his expression unchanged. "I'll go take a look and see. I'll be right back. Wait for me."
“Okay, go ahead.” Su Xiao nodded obediently.
Su Xiao stood in the corner, feeling the cold wind seep into her bones. She couldn't help but tighten her clothes, cross her arms, and look up at the sky. Snowflakes were falling, dancing wildly, rising and falling...
The snow fell heavily, mixed with rain, and instantly merged with the puddles on the ground.
She stood there watching, feeling that time was passing very slowly, yet also as if a very long time had passed.
"Beep beep..."
The sound of a car horn broke her thoughts.
Looking up, a car was parked at the entrance. The door opened, and Shang Ziming stepped out, holding an umbrella.
Su Xiao smiled at him and stood up straight.
With one hand holding an umbrella and the other carrying a military overcoat, Shang Ziming strode over to her in just a few steps.
He put down his umbrella, unfolded his military overcoat, and said, "Put this on quickly."
Su Xiao readily put on the military overcoat.
Shang Ziming picked up the umbrella with one hand and wrapped the other around her waist, tilting most of the umbrella towards Su Xiao to ensure she wouldn't get wet at all, while his own shoulders were already soaked but he didn't care at all.
Because of the rain and snow, Su Xiao stayed in the hotel for two consecutive days without going out. She only went out to eat and spent the rest of the time in her room.
Of course, she doesn't necessarily stay in the room; most of the time, she goes into her own space to move around.
The space has no changing seasons, and the temperature is constant like spring, so the growth of fruits and vegetables is not affected. It's that amazing.
The first batch of fruit transplanted there is mostly ripe and ready to be picked, with loquats being the most abundant, making it a truly delightful sight.
Su Xiao picked the loquats and boiled most of them into loquat syrup. She was planning to open her own pharmacy when she got back, so she could keep the syrup to sell or give away.
Some of the fruit was dried and made into jam, while the rest was stored in a space that has a certain preservation function, so it won't spoil for a long time. It's wonderful to keep it and eat it slowly.
Despite the rain and snow, Shang Zimu and his team worked swiftly and efficiently from morning till night. Shanghai also underwent a major purge, with corrupt officials falling from grace one after another, and those who had committed crimes living in fear and trembling.
Some, however, began to look for a way out.
And so, they somehow found out about Su Xiao's hotel.
Su Xiao was still busy in the space when she heard Xiao Liu report that someone was knocking on the door outside the space, and that she didn't recognize the person. She couldn't help but feel a little strange, so she put down the tomatoes she was holding and left the space.
"Who is it?" Su Xiao didn't open the door rashly, but asked about the situation outside.
"Ms. Su, hello. I am a friend of Chief Inspector Shang. I have come to pay you a visit..." The person outside the door introduced himself. Although he was locked out and knew that the person inside could not see his expression, he still put on a standard smile.
Upon hearing what the other person said, Su Xiao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This person's strategy was quite good.
However, even if one comes to visit, one should not come to see her.
"Comrade Shang lives across the hall, you've knocked on the wrong door." Su Xiao refused directly. She knew from Xiao Liu that the other party was carrying quite a few things, and she couldn't let him in, otherwise things would get complicated.
"I know, I've come to visit you, Ms. Su. Please open the door, let's go inside and talk." The other person didn't expect Su Xiao to refuse to let him in, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"No, you can't open the door to strangers."
