Extra 2: Snow falls
Another snowfall.
When Lin Tang finished her work at the research institute and came out, Feng Chibai was already standing at the next step of the awning with an umbrella waiting for her.
She approached him with a smile on her face, and when she was about to step out of the awning, Feng Chibai's umbrella tilted in a different direction and rested steadily above her.
"Isn't it said that the end of the year is always busy? Why does President Feng seem to be quite relaxed?" she joked.
Feng Chibai took her bag and said thoughtfully, "The project has been outsourced, so someone might be busy."
Lin Tang laughed, and suddenly a bad idea came to his mind.
As I followed him down, I suddenly stretched my palm out from the umbrella and grabbed a handful of thick snow piled on the handrail. The coolness immediately spread from the palm of my hand to my cerebral cortex.
She pressed the snow hard and rolled it into a snowball. She glanced at Feng Chibai secretly and attacked his neck while he was not paying attention.
Although he succeeded, he was quickly restrained by Feng Chibai. He held the umbrella in one hand and her body in the other. Just as he was about to snatch the snowball from her hand to fight back, Lin Tang was quick-witted and quickly shook the snowball to the ground. He said shamelessly, "Feng Chibai, you didn't even hold the umbrella firmly, and the snow is about to fall on me."
Feng Chibai chuckled softly, showing no anger at her actions. He even led her towards him, holding her shoulders tightly in his arms, and said softly, "This way, it won't happen again."
After getting in the car, Lin Tang rubbed his hands and exhaled, "It's so cold, turn on the heater quickly."
Feng Chibai turned on the heater and moved closer to her, taking her cold hands into his large palms and transferring his warmth to her. He said helplessly, "Who insisted on playing in the snow just now?"
Lin Tang leaned his head against the cushions behind him, a smile still on his face. Because they were close enough, she could clearly see the wet marks on his collar from the snow. She said a little sheepishly, "Sorry, I got your clothes wet."
She took out a tissue from her bag and reached out to wipe it for him, but he dodged her.
Lin Tang muttered, "You're just on guard against me like this."
Feng Chibai hummed frankly, "I'm afraid you're not holding your anger in."
Lin Tang simply spread his hands and said, "I don't have any tools to commit the crime right now."
However, Feng Chibai knew that if she wanted to, the tools for committing the crime would be easily within her reach. Despite this, he still leaned over and let her wipe it.
Fortunately, Lin Tang was very honest this time. He just helped him wipe off the water stains and did nothing else.
He tilted his head slightly, and their eyes met unexpectedly.
The air vents continued to emit warm air, and the temperature inside the car rose rapidly.
Feng Chibai stared at her in silence for a long time, and suddenly made a move to approach her.
But the next second, her mouth was covered by Lin Tang. She looked away and said, "Drive first, and we'll talk when we get home."
Feng Chibai was as obedient as ever.
Back home, before she could even turn on the lights, Lin Tang instinctively wanted to run away. But after noticing the large hand behind her trying to stop her from leaving, she took the initiative and turned around to hold his face and kissed him.
When the lights came on, she separated from him and said, "I'm hungry."
Feng Chibai sighed helplessly and then walked towards the kitchen.
During the time since they made their relationship clear, Lin Tang discovered that Feng Chibai could also cook, but because he was usually busy at the company until late, he usually asked his aunt to prepare it in advance.
While he was tidying up in the kitchen, she would run to the windowsill to check on the flowers in the vase. This place had almost become her daily check-in point.
The bouquet of flowers inside had been bought several days ago and was almost at the end of its blooming period. It was beginning to show signs of withering.
Ever since she moved back in, this place has been designated as her territory. Feng Chibai rarely interferes with her interests. But now that Hua was being taken care of like this by him, Lin Tang decided to turn the tables and called him, "Feng Chibai."
Hearing her voice, Feng Chibai first simmered the food in the pot, washed his hands, came over and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Lin Tang pointed at the yellowing petals and said calmly, "You're almost killing the flower."
Feng Chibai was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and chuckled: "Me?"
Lin Tang didn't care whether he was surprised or not, and continued to say confidently: "Well, they say that growing flowers is like loving people, but you don't know how to love people at all."
Feng Chibai was really amused by her this time: "Where did you learn this from? Should I teach you?"
Although he knew that he wouldn't do anything to Ying Yu, when he thought about how scared Ying Yu must be of him, fearing that Feng Chibai would suddenly give him a glare the next time they met, Lin Tang retorted, "Actually, it was Zhao Yingxun who taught him that. Go find him for trouble."
It just so happens that Zhao Yingxun is also a capitalist, so he should be able to resist.
Feng Chibai smiled softly: "I will change the flowers tomorrow. Wash your hands first and get ready to come over for dinner."
With only two people dining together, Feng Chibai didn't know how to cook many dishes. Lin Tang looked at the plate of steamed shrimp, the shells already peeled, and exclaimed, "How thoughtful!"
Feng Chibai slowly put a few shrimps into her bowl and said calmly, "Don't be too moved. It's what you should do."
Lin Tang chuckled softly.
After dinner, she asked Feng Chibai to take a shower first. After all, she had messed up his clothes. Although the water stains had dried, she was still worried that he would catch a cold.
After he came out, Lin Tang also went in to wash up.
The institute didn't need to work overtime much recently, so when they had nothing to do, they just sat on the sofa and watched TV.
Just as he was engrossed in reading, his phone suddenly vibrated. Thinking it was a job announcement from the research institute, Lin Tang clicked on it immediately.
It was sent by Wen Yuting.
Wen Yuting: [Please like the photos in Moments, don’t reply]
It's obvious that it was sent to a group of people.
Sui Sui: [I want to go back]
She clicked into her circle of friends and saw a set of snow scene photos that had just been posted a few minutes ago. The sky in the background was very dark, so they must have been taken not long ago. The young lady in the photo had a particularly beautiful smile, and Lin Tang couldn't help but curl his eyebrows along with her.
When I clicked the like button and exited, there was a new message in the chat interface.
Wen Yuting: [You are so rebellious, don’t learn bad things from your husband]
Suddenly remembering that when the two of them were chatting privately, they mentioned Feng Chibai several times, and in the end gave him the nickname "rebellious boy", Lin Tang couldn't stop laughing.
Feng Chibai noticed it, hugged her and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Tang waved his hands quickly.
The background of Wen Yuting's photo flashed through her mind. The snow had piled up very high. She suddenly ran to the window, opened the curtains and looked down.
The warm yellow light from the street lamps cast white dots in the air, and the cement road surface was covered with a thick layer of white snow.
She murmured softly, "It's snowing so heavily."
As the voice fell, a figure came to her side.
Feng Chibai leaned over, put the cotton shoes at her feet, and said patiently: "The ground is cold, don't run barefoot."
Lin Tang put it on obediently and looked out the window again: "Time flies so fast, it's already the fourth winter."
But his expression suddenly changed.
Feng Chibai looked at her tense little face and asked, "What's wrong?"
"One month." Lin Tang frowned and said to him, "You've only been pursuing me for a month. Am I really that easy to talk to?"
She turned away, lowered her head and was about to leave: "No, no, I also..."
Suddenly Feng Chibai pulled her back and held her in his arms.
He took a long breath, then let it out, saying bluntly, "You're indeed easy to talk to. I thought I'd have to wait a long time, but I didn't expect your abilities to evolve so quickly."
Lin Tang was stunned for a moment, and through his words, he suddenly realized what he was referring to when he brought up this topic earlier.
She poked his shoulder lightly in relief, and her eyes gradually softened.
She hugged him back and asked softly, "Feng Chibai, are you planning to come to Country R to see me in December?"
She had heard Wen Yuting mention that Feng Chibai would be taking some time off to go on a business trip abroad in mid-December. Knowing that their circle was very sensitive to the slightest disturbance, she didn't doubt the truth of the news.
But since she came back, she seemed to have never seen Feng Chibai have this itinerary, and she had a vague guess in her heart.
Feng Chibai was silent for a moment, then hummed frankly, "I don't know when you'll be back, and I don't know who to ask, but I want to see you."
At that time, he actually asked Ying Yu and Director Yuan Jin, but the answers they gave were very vague, and even they didn't know exactly when it would end.
However, in the case of extreme longing, his heart would infinitely magnify this deadline, and every second without getting a clear answer would be torment for him.
Lin Tang's eyelashes trembled, and he said softly, "Stupid, instead of making plans secretly, you might as well have sent me a message earlier."
"I dare not." Feng Chibai said, "I'm afraid that once you open your mouth you'll say, 'It seems we haven't completed the process yet, wait for me to come back and do it.'"
Lin Tang remained silent. If she knew the specific process, she would indeed say this.
But suddenly she remembered something, and Lin Tang's nose felt a little sore. She said in a deep voice, "Feng Chibai, thank you."
When she left for Country R, she hadn't known when she would return, so she had asked Zhao Yingxun to return to Jingluo to clean the ash stains in front of Grandma Lin's tomb if he was free. Zhao Yingxun hadn't been there often, only three times in total, with long intervals between each visit. However, the first two times he'd been back, the tombstone had been spotless, as if it had been cleaned frequently.
Until the last time, when the car stopped at the gate of the cemetery and he had not yet gotten out, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Feng Chibai's figure walking into the cemetery.
It becomes clear at once.
But Feng Chibai didn't know what he was referring to. He asked, "Why are you suddenly saying this?"
When he was a little distance away from Lin Tang, he suddenly realized that her eyes were red and he became anxious: "Why are you crying?"
Lin Tang shook his head and choked up, "Feng Chibai, I never thought of myself as an unfortunate person before, but I also know that I am not a lucky person."
She seems to always be breaking the rules, but in fact, she is also following the inevitable path of life.
But after the snow fell outside the hospital, her life, which had been destined for a long time, began to change.
It was also at that time that she realized that when people are at a loss, they can still have someone to rely on.
The snow is still falling outside the window.
She stared at him.
"But your appearance is a blessing to me."
