"Aren't you cold anymore?" Chen Wenzhi noticed that Ying Qian's hands were warm. "I warmed them up."
She smiled and said, "Yes."
Soon after, she received a message.
Brother: [You go back first, I'm fine. Thank you for coming to see me. It's cold lately, please keep warm.]
I don't know what his state of mind or mood was when he posted this message.
Chen Wenzhi merely glanced at it; he didn't care at all, and besides, he didn't mind Meng Beiyan's presence in the relationship.
Because he is not an obstacle.
The biggest obstacle was Ying Qian's own heart.
At first, she was always hesitant and unwilling to admit the overflowing love she had.
It is often shortened to "stubborn".
As they spent more time together, Ying Qian seemed to become a little more childish. Since they became a couple, everything seemed to be going in a good direction.
"Going back?" Chen Wenzhi asked.
Ying Qian nodded, her eyes glistening with tears, and took the large hand beside her. "Chen Wenzhi, let's go home."
"Yes, let's go home."

Surprisingly, Tang Ya-wen did not cause any trouble for Ying Qian after that day.
Meng Beiyan would still often suggest that Ying Qian come to stay with him, but he always refused. After being refused so many times, he stopped pressuring her. Anyway, there was a room in his house that was reserved specifically for her.
As the year draws to a close, everyone is busy going out to buy New Year's goods.
The city has also donned its New Year's attire.
New Year's Eve.
Shen Yun posted a video on her WeChat Moments of herself and Shen Chang making dumplings together. The two siblings showed great affection for each other, and the girl's smile on the family photo wall was still as bright as ever.
Ying Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Her melancholy had improved a lot since their last meeting, and her complexion was much rosier. It seemed that her illness was not too serious anymore.
In the comments section, Ren Yilai claimed the photographer's position.
"Ying Qian—if I were really going to die, couldn't you have come and helped me? I knew I shouldn't have agreed to make dumplings with you!" Xu Tiantian shouted in the restaurant.
Ying Qian put down her phone and rushed over.
"They're here! They're here!"
Xu Tiantian looked speechless, the flour floating on her face adding to the comical effect.
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but Chen Wenzhi is really unreliable." She kneaded the dough a few times, and seeing Ying Qian's sly smile, she gritted her teeth even more: "He actually deserted at the crucial moment."
“There’s nothing we can do about it, his family member is sick,” Ying Qian said understandingly.
Xu Tiantian shrugged and gave Ying Qian a look, "Come and help this princess massage her shoulders, they're so sore."
Ying Qian immediately obeyed.
"However, thanks to your invitation, I was able to escape my ugly relatives and my unlucky brother... a bunch of crazy people."
While kneading the dough, Xu Tiantian complained, glancing at the annoying yellow roses in the vase, and added, "You really like yellow roses that much? You put them in there every day, don't you get tired of them? If it were me, I'd put out rainbow roses, and I wouldn't wear the same one twice in a week—"
Spittle flew everywhere. Ying Qian didn't know which rebuttal to give, so she simply tossed out a sentence:
"Take it easy, or you'll spit all over the noodles."
"Get lost, Ying Qian~"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Being with my best girlfriends always brings laughter and joy.
The atmosphere at the Meng family's home was somewhat oppressive.
The family of three seemed quite warm and loving in their large home, but that couldn't hide the fact that they didn't say a word to each other.
Meng's father returned, but unlike his usual smiling face, he was stern and unsmiling this year. He treated his beloved daughter the same way. It wasn't that his career had gone wrong, but rather that he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of his broken family.
Tang Ya-wen hesitated and dared not speak.
Meng Xuhe was in the room, gently brushing the dust off the photos.
It was a group photo taken last New Year downstairs. It was the first photo of her and Mr. Lu. He didn't like taking pictures, and after being together for so long, this was the only one they had.
That's now history.
That's why they say time flies like water.
She smiled inexplicably, feeling quite happy overall. She thought about visiting Lu Ziran in the hospital in a few days, as he was too fragile and frequently ended up in the hospital.
Next time you see her, you must make fun of her, just like Ying Qian always mocks her boyfriend.
Thinking of Ying Qian, Meng Xuhe opened the chat interface and sent her a message.
Happy Lunar New Year's Eve.
The other person replied instantly: "You too!"
Meng Xuhe smiled and then sent a message to Li Qinqin.
Li Qinqin posted a photo of herself soaking her feet and added a voice message: "My younger brother is washing my feet, so sweet."
[Your younger brother is so good.]
Then, Li Qinqin couldn't stop showing off her baby brother.
Everyone was at home on New Year's Eve, but what about Meng Beiyan?
Meng Xuhe called him.
The other end answered quickly, but the background noise on the phone was extremely loud.
"What's wrong? Why are you calling?"
"Brother, Happy New Year's Eve! Are you coming home for dinner tonight?" Her tone was filled with anticipation.
"No, I'm out with my friends. You guys enjoy your meal."
"Beep beep beep..."
Unfamiliar, as unfamiliar as ever.
Having long been used to it, Meng Xuhe stretched and went to eat.
It's really painful when a family member gets sick on New Year's Eve.
Chen Wenzhi was reading a copy of "Meditations". Since his parents were not around, he was alone at the hospital with his grandfather, who was lying in bed with a ventilator.
Several of his uncles and aunts have their own families and New Year's Eve dinners to eat. Although he also has one, he has no choice but to stay with his maternal grandfather.
Fortunately, it was a VIP ward with relatively complete facilities, and he was able to take a hot shower. The steamy glass made him stop, and he childishly wrote Ying Qian's name and then drew a heart.
A lonely New Year's Eve, a moment of solace for myself.
It seems like I'm not alone every year, but it also feels like I'm alone every year.
Late at night, a nurse came to check on him and saw that he was still awake. She said, "Little brother, would you like some dumplings? Our colleagues ordered takeout and there was an extra portion, and since you're all alone..."
"No need, thank you." He politely declined, then put on his headphones and prepared to continue playing games with Ying Qian on the sofa.
After the game ended, he adjusted his glasses, checked on his grandfather's condition, and then put his headphones back on.
Xu Tiantian's mouth in the earphones was like a machine gun.
Ren Yi praised repeatedly: "My God, a woman who can date a playboy is really something else! She's got a whole repertoire of insults. You must have made that dog Jing Yun look like a coward after all."
"I wouldn't even deign to speak to a scumbag like Jing Yun; a couple of slaps would be enough to silence her."
It all happened during this winter break.
Xu Tiantian, because Jing Yun was two-timing her, went to confront him with an antique vase worth 200,000 yuan from her home. She smashed the vase and left.
The girl he was dating was completely dumbfounded.
This incident caused quite a stir in the alumni group of No. 3 Middle School. People who were not familiar with Xu Tiantian said, "Sure enough, you can't judge a book by its cover. This little girl is really ruthless."
The slightly more familiar one calmly typed a "6".
Xu Tiantian made a powerful statement: "My awesome life doesn't need scumbags."
