When the two walked to the front yard, Lao Luo had already helped them clean up the house, boiled a pot of water and filled the teapot.
After entering the room, Song Shengsheng sat down beside the bed and pressed the mattress: "It's quite comfortable, but the smell of the decoration in this room has not yet dissipated."
"It would be better to wait until the New Year. By then the finishing work will be done and the house will be warm." Jiang Yiyu poured her a cup of hot water and handed it to her with his hands: "This water is too hot to drink right away, but it's okay to warm your hands."
Song Shengsheng took the cup with her sleeve as a cushion: "I want to open the presents."
"Warm yourself up first and open it later." Jiang Yiyu returned to the table and poured himself a glass of water. He held the glass and sat down next to Song Shengsheng. Both of them were a little frozen. Now that they were a little warmer, their eyes were a little straight.
After a long while, Song Shengsheng came back to his senses, stole a glance at him, and couldn't help laughing: "We are both too stupid now!"
"Ah? What?" Jiang Yiyu didn't react immediately. He turned to look at her in a daze: "Sorry, dear, I was distracted. What did you say?"
"I said you're stupid."
Jiang Yiyu laughed: "Am I not a fool in front of you?"
"So, you idiot, don't try to ride a motorcycle in the winter. It's cold."
"Got it, bigger fool."
The two smiled at each other.
After sitting for a while, Song Shengsheng felt a little warmer, but her feet were still a little numb. She thought Jiang Yiyu was not in much better condition, but because there was no heating here, she definitely couldn't take a bath tonight.
"Brother Yi Yu."
"What's wrong?"
"Why don't we sleep? When we wake up, we can call the driver and ask him to pick us up when it's daybreak."
"What about my car?"
"You can't ride your motorcycle back, can you? You'll definitely catch a cold from all the hassle. Do you think you're Superman or Iron Man? Able to withstand the cold and be invincible?"
"I am whatever you take me to be."
"I think you're a big fool, don't you?"
"yes."
As the two were talking, Lao Luo knocked on the door again: "Sir, Madam, I'm here to bring you toiletries and hot water."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiyu hurriedly got up and opened the door. Lao Luo handed him the things in his hand with a smile, said good night and left.
Jiang Yiyu hurriedly closed the door. He turned and waved the basin and kettle in his hands towards Song Shengsheng: "You can soak your feet now."
"That's good." Song Shengsheng took off her coat and walked to the cart Jiang Yiyu had parked at the door. She squatted down and asked, "What are you giving away?"
Jiang Yiyu put down the things in his hand: "You'll know after you open it." He walked to her side, bent down and picked up a gift box: "Want to open it together?"
"sure."
Among the twenty-four gifts Jiang Yiyu sent were dolls, books, jewelry, dresses, high heels, real estate deeds, bank cards, and a pile of messy contract documents, all of which were his assets.
Song Shengsheng laughed and said, "Is this all your property? Have you handed it all over?"
"There are still some things I can't give you for now, but please wait a little longer. By next year, I'll have finished all the important things and will give them all to you."
"That's fine." Song Shengsheng pulled out a ribbon tied to the gift box, pulled his hands over, wrapped the ribbon around his wrists, and carefully tied a bow: "Now all the gifts are here."
Jiang Yiyu smiled and said, "Then what? What are you going to do with this gift of mine?"
Song Shengsheng thought about it seriously, reached out and pinched his chin, looked at his face carefully, leaned in and pecked him on the lips: "Put it aside for now, there is nothing here, and I can't deal with it."
"How do you know there's nothing?"
"Um?"
"I brought everything with me when I went out. Didn't you say that hugging is the best way to keep warm on winter nights? Then hug me and let me keep you warm. Okay?"
Song Shengsheng let go of his chin, stood up, stamped her feet, and stretched her numb legs: "You wish."
Jiang Yiyu smiled and lay down on the ground. He broke free from Song Shengsheng's restraints on his wrists, reached out and grabbed her ankles, raised his eyes and looked at her lazily: "Right here, I'll cushion you, I promise it won't be cold at all."
"Jiang Yiyu, you don't even want to sleep on a bed now? If we do it on the floor, we'll both catch a cold tomorrow."
"Then go to bed, are you willing?"
Song Shengsheng didn't say anything. Jiang Yiyu tightened his grip on her ankle. "I'm your gift. You can't unwrap it. Think of it as a gracious treat from you, the one who has loved me for so many years, to the present you. Don't let their kindness go to waste. Please enjoy it."
Song Shengsheng didn't know what to say for a moment. She looked down at Jiang Yiyu, gently lifted her foot, and broke free from his restraint: "Put away your sweet talk, now I just want to soak my feet. Hurry up and get half a basin of cold water."
Jiang Yiyu stared at the ceiling and sighed silently. He saw Song Shengsheng holding his stack of fortune, walking to the chair by the window and sitting down, carefully looking through it against the light, with no intention of paying any attention to him. He stood up resignedly, walked to the bed, and took out the small box from the zippered pocket on the inside of his down jacket. He had put it in his pocket when he went out today.
He aimed at the coffee table next to Song Shengsheng and threw it in a parabola, landing precisely next to her hand. Song Shengsheng was startled, but after seeing what he threw, she was so angry that she laughed. She put down the documents in her hand, picked up the box, and shook it at him: "Are you childish?"
