"Stay...stay in a guesthouse?" Ma Xiao'e became nervous all of a sudden when she heard Jiang Ling say that.
Although they are dating, they are not married yet.
Normally, just holding hands would make her blush for a long time, let alone doing something more intimate with him.
And, most importantly, she wasn't ready to do anything with Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling nodded. "The weather forecast says there will be heavy snow tonight. It will be dangerous if we force our way on the road. We can only stay in the guesthouse for one night."
Although Ma Xiao'e was nervous, she had no choice but to agree.
She followed Jiang Ling into the town's guesthouse.
"Let's get two rooms."
After hearing what Jiang Ling said to the front desk, Ma Xiao'e finally felt relieved.
It seems she was overthinking it.
"I'm sorry, comrade, we only have one room left, you..." The receptionist looked at the two people with embarrassment.
Jiang Ling turned to look at Ma Xiao'e, and seeing that she was subconsciously getting nervous, he said to her, "You sleep in the last room, I'll sleep in the car."
He booked the last room for Ma Xiao'e and moved her things in.
"Xiao'e, don't worry. I won't do anything to you before we get married." Jiang Ling was also afraid that Ma Xiao'e would think too much, so he explained to her.
"I...I don't not believe you..." Ma Xiao'e blushed in embarrassment after hearing Jiang Ling's words.
Of course she believed in Jiang Ling's character, otherwise she would not have agreed to date him.
But in this situation, she couldn't help but get nervous when she thought about living in the same room with Jiang Ling.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always been a good girl in everyone's eyes.
I have never been so intimate with a man before, and I really don’t know what to do?
"I know. You can go straight to bed after washing up. We will continue our journey tomorrow morning." After Jiang Ling gave the instructions, he took a military coat and left.
The temperature outside is already below zero. If I sleep in the car for another night, I will definitely catch a cold.
"Jiang Ling, wait a moment." Ma Xiao'e really couldn't bear it.
"It's so cold outside, why don't you sleep in?" Ma Xiao'e said with concern.
But even though she said that, Jiang Ling still said: "Don't worry about me. I have experienced worse environments than this. Lock the door yourself and be careful."
For the sake of Ma Xiao'e's reputation, he chose to sleep in the car outside.
Although they were dating, they were not married yet. In this era, a girl's reputation was more important than anything else.
In fact, for a moment, he also had an impulse, but was eventually overcome by reason.
Given Ma Xiao'e's personality, even if nothing happened while they lived together, she would definitely be willing to marry him when the time came.
But he couldn't do that. What was the difference between doing that and forcing her to marry him?
What he wanted was Ma Xiao'e to marry him willingly, not forcing her to do so.
When Ma Xiao'e saw Jiang Ling's back as he left, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
After Jiang Ling left, she locked the door, washed up, and went to bed early.
The next morning, when she woke up and opened the door, she saw Jiang Ling standing at the door with the breakfast he had just bought in his hand.
"You're awake." Jiang Ling was also surprised when he saw Ma Xiaoe just opening the door, and then asked.
Ma Xiao'e responded. She didn't expect that Jiang Ling would be standing at the door as soon as she opened it.
Seeing him wake up so early, I couldn't help but worry if he didn't sleep well last night?
"How did you sleep last night?" Ma Xiao'e asked with concern.
"It's okay. You eat first. We have to set off after dinner." Jiang Ling handed the things in his hand to Ma Xiaoe.
Although it was a little cold in the car, it was still not too cold.
He is an early riser and wakes up at six o'clock every day.
After getting up, he exercised for a while, checked the road conditions, and bought breakfast for Ma Xiaoe.
Thinking she would be almost awake, I came in with breakfast.
Unexpectedly, he saw Ma Xiao'e coming out as soon as he reached the door, which saved him the trouble of knocking on the door.
Ma Xiao'e took the food Jiang Ling handed her, ate briefly, then got in the car and continued driving home.
After the snow fell last night, the roads became even more difficult to drive on.
Fortunately, Jiang Ling had strong skills and he finally arrived in Qing City in the afternoon.
We have been delayed on the road for so long, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.
When sending Ma Xiao'e back, Jiang Ling also brought in the things he had brought for her parents.
Ma Xiao'e's parents were very grateful when they saw Jiang Ling.
"Xiao Jiang, please sit down." After seeing Jiang Ling, Li Qiuping warmly invited him to sit down.
"Xiao Jiang, right? Thank you so much for bringing Xiao'e back from so far away." Ma Xiao'e's father Ma Guoying said with gratitude.
They originally thought that Ma Xiao'e would not come back for the New Year, but they didn't expect Jiang Ling to send her back.
"Uncle and aunt, don't be polite. I just brought Xiao'e back on the way." Jiang Ling said politely.
"You're really spending too much money. You've helped our family so much, and you still give us these things. We really don't know what to say." Li Qiuping had a very good impression of Jiang Ling before. Now that she saw that he was humble and responsible, she liked him even more.
"Lao Ma, you chat with Xiao Jiang first. Xiao E and I will go buy some vegetables. Xiao Jiang can stay at home for dinner today." Li Qiuping said with a smile.
"That's too much of a bother for you." Jiang Ling said in a rude manner.
"How can it be considered a disturbance? You came all the way here and helped us send Xiao E back. We should thank you very much. Just listen to your aunt and eat at home today." Li Qiuping continued.
After she said that, she didn't give Jiang Ling a chance to refuse and pulled Ma Xiao'e out the door.
Seeing this, Lao Ma also said: "Okay, you can stay for dinner and have a couple of drinks with me."
"Then I'd rather obey your command." Seeing this, Jiang Ling had no choice but to agree.
Ma Xiao'e didn't expect Jiang Ling to stay home for dinner. She glanced at him and then followed Li Qiuping to buy groceries.
Many people in the yard saw Jiang Ling sending Ma Xiao'e back. When they saw Li Qiuping, many people asked curiously.
There was a military jeep parked at the gate of the compound, and Jiang Ling was wearing a military uniform. This was his first official visit.
"Qiuping, who was that person who just came back with your Xiao'e? He must be an officer, right? He's really handsome."
Li Qiuping saw this and said with a smile, "That's Xiao'e's friend. He came to Qing City this time and brought Xiao'e back."
"What friend? That must be a partner. We don't believe it."
