Chapter 69
Shi Ye held her wrist, his eyes drooping: "Where's my red envelope?"
"Ah... red envelope... I forgot..."
Jiang Zhinian deliberately wanted to tease Shi Ye because he always bullied her. However, Shi Ye just smiled faintly after hearing it.
I can't figure out what it means.
Jiang Zhinian felt that his joke seemed a bit too much, and Shi Ye might be unhappy.
"Shi Ye, actually I just..."
She wanted to explain, but Shi Ye pressed his finger against her lips.
"It doesn't matter. If you don't have a red envelope, you can use something else to make up for it."
He pronounced the other two words with emphasis, which made Jiang Zhinian's ears red.
Others, that should be what she was thinking...
He kneaded and played with her for a long time that day. Jiang Zhinian felt the changes in his body, and her intuition told her that he must... like her body very much.
But... doing that in broad daylight isn't a good idea.
She wanted to politely suggest that they change the meeting to the evening, but Shi Ye stood up first: "Okay, get up and have breakfast first."
Jiang Zhinian came back to her senses, said "Oh", and then got up. She realized that she seemed to have misunderstood Shi Ye's hint.
But if it weren't for that incident, what would Shi Ye use to pay off his debts?
…
After breakfast, Shi Ye took Jiang Zhinian downstairs to make a snowman.
Before Jiang Zhinian went out, Shi Ye wrapped her up like a ball, holding a hot water bottle in her hand and wearing a furry hat on her head.
Jiang Zhinian struggled to poke her head out from under the layers of scarves: "It's hard for me to build a snowman like this."
“You can watch me pile it.”
Jiang Zhinian considered that as a pregnant woman, it would be very troublesome if she caught a cold, so she had to nod in agreement.
Only after going downstairs did she realize that the ground was really slippery, so she took every step very carefully.
"The first snow of this year is so heavy." In the unclogged areas, the snow was up to her knees.
Shi Ye hugged her and found a shelter without snow for her to stand under: "Further north, there are places where the snow is up to your waist."
When I was studying for my master's degree, one winter I went to another place with my supervisor to participate in a support project in a very remote county. One of my senior students didn't pay attention when getting off the car and fell into the grass beside him. The snow didn't reach above his waist.
He struggled to climb back into the car.
Jiang Zhinian compared and found that Shi Ye's waist was roughly at the level of his chest.
It's quite scary. If it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to even get up.
Shi Ye put on leather gloves and started rolling snowballs. Jiang Zhinian cheered him on and took advantage of Shi Ye's inattention to roll some snowballs himself, intending to make a few snowball babies.
Shi Ye put two snowballs together, one big and one small. When he turned around, he found that there were ten small snowmen standing next to Jiang Zhinian, some big and some small.
He walked over to her and asked, "Do you want to put these little snowmen next to the big snowman?"
"Okay, help me over there."
Jiang Zhinian carefully arranged the small snowman around the big snowman and nodded with satisfaction.
"Shi Ye, do you know what this is called?"
"What?"
"One fetus, ten treasures."
There was a moment of blankness on Shi Ye's face, which always seemed to know everything.
Jiang Zhinian was extremely happy.
…
After decorating the snowman, Jiang Zhinian took a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments, then Shi Ye hugged her and took her home.
Because the weather was cold and both of them didn't like crowded places, they didn't choose to go out on the lively New Year's Day, but stayed at home.
Shi Ye was reading his paper in the study, while Jiang Zhinian went to take a nap.
When Jiang Zhinian woke up, Shi Ye also came out of the study. The two of them snuggled together on the sofa. Shi Ye continued with his thesis, while Jiang Zhinian turned on the TV and casually checked to see if there were any new TV series recently.
During these two hours, the two people only occasionally talked to each other and chatted for a few minutes. Most of the time, they were doing their own things and didn't talk much.
But this kind of silence does not make people feel that there is nothing to say, but rather a silent companionship.
"What are you looking at?"
Shi Ye finished reading the paper, took off his glasses and moved closer to Jiang Zhinian.
Jiang Zhinian came back to his senses from the plot and said with a smile, "Just take a look."
"You're so engrossed." He called her several times, but she didn't respond.
"Because the plot... is very attractive."
Jiang Zhinian raised her hand to turn off the TV, but Shi Ye stopped her: "Let's watch it together."
"Want to start from the beginning?"
"No, just from here."
The story takes place in a high school campus. The male protagonist is a cold and arrogant academic master from a poor family, while the female protagonist is a rich girl with a cheerful personality. The female protagonist falls in love with the male protagonist at first sight, but the male protagonist treats the female protagonist coldly.
Of course, after a series of events, the cold and aloof male protagonist still fell in love with the female protagonist who was as warm as a little sun. The two experienced all kinds of twists and turns, separated, reconciled, and finally got together.
Shi Ye glanced at the actor's face a few times: "Do you think the male lead is good-looking?"
Jiang Zhinian was feeling sad about the misunderstanding between the male and female protagonists. After a pause, he said, "Ah... it's, it's okay."
Shi Ye paused the TV and looked at Jiang Zhinian with a serious look: "Do you think it looks good?"
Jiang Zhinian looked at Shi Ye's expression and changed his words: "Then... it doesn't look good?"
Shi Ye lowered his eyes, his tone slightly cold: "I respect your aesthetic taste."
Jiang Zhinian sat up straight, put his arms around Shi Ye's neck, pointed to the sky and swore: "It's not good-looking, it doesn't look like a high school student at all."
Shi Ye said "hmm" coldly, not seeming to agree.
Jiang Zhinian racked his brains to come up with something flattering, but what he said came out as, "You look the best. You look exactly the same as you did in high school. If you put on your school uniform and go out and say you're a high school student, people will believe you."
"Have you seen my high school photos?" Shi Ye reacted, "Did Jiang Tao show them to you?"
Jiang Zhinian didn't expect the other party to guess two facts at once, so he nodded honestly: "Yes, I took the initiative to ask him for it."
Shi Ye hummed, but didn't have any objections. He just said, "Where's your high school photo? Show it to me."
Jiang Zhinian returned to his room, took out his photo album, and found his high school graduation photo.
"Can you find me?"
Shi Ye glanced over and nodded at the girl standing at the edge of the second row: "Exactly the same as now."
She has long black hair, is tall and thin, and has very fair skin, but her face still has a look of youthfulness and innocence.
Jiang Zhinian was a little happy. He leaned over and compared carefully, and found that his appearance seemed to have not changed much.
Shi Ye calmly looked through the entire photo, making sure that the couple he met yesterday when buying New Year's goods was not in it.
Jiang Zhinian suddenly asked him, "Shi Ye, when you were in high school, were there any girls chasing you?"
Shi Ye said calmly, "It depends on how you define pursuit."
