The warm sun in winter makes people feel more comfortable and rare.
Sijiu had a rattan chair placed on the terrace. Most of the day, she would wrap herself in a small blanket, curled up in the rattan chair, basking in the sun, feeling drowsy and lazy, like a hibernating animal.
This was the scene Chen Huai saw when he returned home.
"Miss Tang."
Sijiu rubbed his eyes and asked, "Why are you back at this time?"
"Ahem... nothing much to do today."
Actually, I just wanted to have lunch with her.
"Hmm. Have you eaten yet?"
Seeing Chen Huai shook his head, Si Jiu said, "Then it's just right to eat together. I accidentally fell asleep and I haven't eaten yet."
Chen Huai curled his lips, his eyes gentle, "Okay."
The kitchen heard that Chen Huai was coming back for dinner, so they prepared a few more dishes. The two of them sat at the dining table and ate quietly. Although they didn't talk, the atmosphere was not awkward. Instead, it gave Chen Huai a faint sense of warmth.
It had been a long time since he had sat down and had a good meal with someone.
The appearance of Sijiu has changed a lot.
"Do you want to go out and play?"
Seeing Sijiu put down his chopsticks, Chen Huai suddenly spoke.
"Hmm?" Si Jiu turned his head to look at him, with a questioning look in his eyes.
"The temperature is going to drop in the next couple of days, and I see you're quite sensitive to the cold. The climate in Chun City is mild, and I have a resort there with some really great hot springs. Would you like to stay there for a couple of days?"
[When the male protagonist wants to hide something, he always speaks a lot unconsciously.] Si Jiutong said to the system.
System: [Shen Zhe and Shen Hao seem to be desperate. The hero is worried about your safety.]
The system paused, and then said without any intention: [The male protagonist treats you very well.]
Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Chen Huai curled his fingers at his side involuntarily, "Don't you want to go?"
"Okay." Sijiu agreed immediately.
Chen Huai got the answer he wanted, but somehow his mood didn't improve.
The next morning, Chen Huai sent Sijiu to the car.
"Send me a message when you get there."
His eyes were heavy, with a faint blue mark under his eyes, obviously he didn't sleep well last night.
Sijiu nodded, yawned sleepily, and tucked her chin into her scarf. Ever since Gold Finger left her, she had become increasingly afraid of the cold.
Seeing this, Chen Huai told the driver to turn up the air conditioner in the car, watched Si Jiu get in the car, and helped her close the door.
"I'll pick you up in a few days." Chen Huai looked at her and said.
"Hmm." Sijiu responded, leaning back in his chair and feeling sleepy.
"drive."
The car started and soon drove out of Chen Huai's sight.
…
Yuncheng is more than three hours' drive from City C. Sijiu slept the entire way and it was only eleven o'clock when they arrived at the hot spring villa that Chen Huai mentioned.
Sijiu didn't care about the scenery at all. After seeing the people arranged by Chen Huai help her settle down, she asked them to leave and sent a message to Chen Huai to let him know that he was safe.
[Disclose my whereabouts to Shen Zhe.] Si Jiu said to the system.
system:【……】
[Doesn't the host dislike interfering with the hero's plot line? ]
Did I say that?
System: [The host said this himself when the previous mission was completed.]
You heard wrong.
System: ...Okay!
After lunch, Si Jiu took a comfortable hot spring bath, while watching Shen Zhe's movements through the images transmitted back by the system.
Shen Zhe was really forced into a desperate situation, but Shen Huai had the upper hand over him, and Shen Huai was like an iron barrel, leaving him no room for maneuver.
Just when he was at his wit's end, Shen Hao finally brought him good news.
"We've already located Chen Huai's lover, who is currently in the Hot Spring Villa in City C. From the results of the investigation, it seems that Tang You is not difficult to deal with, and she has an obvious weakness: her sister."
Shen Zhe sneered, "Very good."
"So I followed the plan?"
"Go ahead." Shen Zhe hung up the phone, and his frown finally relaxed.
"Everyone has weaknesses, Chen Huai, if you are unkind first, don't blame me for being unjust."
