When Ye Can and Ye Li heard this and wanted to take another closer look, there was no one at the door. "I didn't see her. Are you dazzled? How could she be mixed up with Jiang Rui and the others?"
Come to think of it, it seems unlikely.
However, Jiang Xun was very sure: "I won't be wrong."
"This is weird." Ye Li really couldn't figure out why Ye Can was walking with Jiang Xun's two younger brothers. In the previous life, these things never happened, and she had no way of knowing. "Forget it, let's not worry about this, let's order some food first."
"Okay." Jiang Xun nodded slightly.
There is really no need to waste time guessing now, just go back and ask Jiang Xi and you will know.
Jiang Xun ordered four plates of meat, each weighing half a pound. In addition, he ordered some vegetables and took a bottle of white wine: "Nie Fan, your sister's affairs have been helped by you several times. I have always wanted to treat you to a meal to thank you, but you never had the chance. Since we are all together today, why don't we have a drink?"
"Okay, I'll drink however you say. I'll accompany you to the end." Nie Fan rolled up his sleeves, obviously interested.
"Drink with you till you are done."
...
...
"That's what you said."
Jiang Xun curled his lips: "I said so."
"What are you doing? Just enough, don't drink that much!" Ye Li pointed at the bottle of wine on the table, "You two can only drink half a bottle together, no one is allowed to drink too much, do you hear me?"
Nie Fan raised his chin, meaning to let Jiang Xun speak.
"Okay, since my wife has spoken, I must listen to her." Jiang Xun picked up the glass and poured a glass of wine for each person according to Ye Li's request, just to the position she said, "That's all the wine you need to drink."
Ye Li was very satisfied with his attitude and glanced at Nie Fan: "What about you?"
Nie Fan chuckled twice: "Of course I listen to my sister. Sister, you are the boss, what you say is what goes. Let's just drink that much wine today, but there must be enough meat, right? He owes me two favors, at least he has to pay a little, right?"
"Two?" Ye Li knew one of them, but what was the other one?
"Listen to him. Li Li, since Nie Fan has said so, then you can order a few more plates of meat."
Ye Li called the waiter and ordered four more plates of meat: "I will only eat one plate at most, you two can eat the rest, don't waste it!"
"Sister, don't worry, I'm here, this thing will be saved!"
"That would be best."
We had a great time eating the hot pot. Outside, snowflakes were floating and the cold wind was blowing. Inside, we were eating hot pot and drinking wine. It was such a wonderful experience.
Nie Fan was ready to rip off Jiang Xun, so he ate two pounds of mutton by himself. When he put down his chopsticks, he burped loudly: "This was a good meal! Brother-in-law, you are so generous and capable!"
"You can do it too." Jiang Xun smiled and picked up the glass. "One last sip of wine, drink it and then we'll go home."
"become."
When I came out of the hotel, the night had darkened and the snowflakes had gradually grown bigger.
The three of them boarded two buses heading in different directions. About an hour later, the bus stopped at the entrance of the alley. Jiang Xun took Ye Li's hand and got off the bus. They walked towards home step by step, step by step, on the snow on the ground.
The cold wind blew in the face mixed with snowflakes. Jiang Xun stopped and wrapped the scarf hanging around his neck around Ye Li, wrapping her tightly so that only a pair of eyes were exposed.
"I'm not cold." Ye Li opened her scarf. "The mutton I ate tonight makes me feel warm all over. How about you?"
Jiang Xun stared at her with burning eyes and licked his slightly dry lips with the tip of his tongue: "I am not only warm, but also hot. Li Li, you try it."
He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
In the dark night, in a deep alley, under a dim street light, two figures hugged each other tightly and kissed passionately.
It took a long time before Jiang Xun let her go.
The two people stared at each other, the deep affection in their eyes could not be dissolved.
When the two of them returned to Yard No. 9, the yard was quiet. Most of the lights in the houses were turned off. Only two sparse lights were left on, casting a dim yellow light on the white ground.
"I'll go ask Jiang Xi." Jiang Xun was still thinking about meeting Ye Can tonight.
Ye Li hurriedly stopped him: "Don't go, you see the lights are off in Jiang Xi's room, if there is anything you can't ask tomorrow."
"Alright. Come on, let's go back to bed."
A good night's sleep.
The next morning, Jiang Xun got up very early. There was a thick layer of snow in the yard. Aunt Wang, as the manager of the courtyard, called on young people in the yard to get up and sweep the snow early in the morning.
As a veteran, Jiang Xun naturally cannot fall behind.
"Why are young people nowadays so lazy? I called Dazhuang, but he refused to get up after I agreed to do so for a long time. I called Jiang Rui and Jiang Xi, but Jiang Rui was too slow to come out, and Jiang Xi simply refused to come out. Among the young people in our yard, you are the only one who can take the lead, Jiang Xun." Aunt Wang sighed as she spoke.
"Auntie Wang, look at what you said. I'm so hesitant. I'm coming out now, aren't I?" Jiang Rui pushed the door open and walked out while tying his belt.
Aunt Wang glanced at him and said, "You're okay, but what's wrong with Jiang Xi? And Niu Dazhuang!"
Jiang Xun said: "I'll go call Jiang Xi."
He walked to Jiang Xi's window, raised his hand and knocked on the window twice, and whispered: "Jiang Xi, Jiang Xi, did you hear me? Get up and sweep the snow!"
I knocked for a long time, but no one answered.
"Look, look!" Aunt Wang was very dissatisfied. "There are only a few young laborers in this yard, and they are unwilling to get up and sweep the snow. What? Let us old people do it!"
Jiang Xun realized that something was wrong: "Auntie Wang, I'll go inside to see what's going on."
Jiang Xun came to Jiang Xi's door and tried to push it directly, and the door opened immediately.
There was no one in the room and the bed was neatly made.
He went forward and touched it. The blanket was ice-cold, without any warmth at all.
Jiang Xun frowned, came out of the house, and asked Jiang Rui: "Did Jiang Xi not come back last night?"
Jiang Rui hesitated: "Didn't come back...?"
"I'm asking you."
"Brother, if you ask me...I don't know either."
"Don't know? Last night I saw you, Wang Sha, Jiang Xi and Ye Can go to eat mutton hotpot. Didn't you come back together?"
Facing Jiang Xun's questioning gaze, Jiang Rui felt guilty: "Brother, we separated halfway. Wang Sha said she felt uncomfortable in her stomach, so we came back early. As for where Jiang Xi went, I don't know."
Jiang Xun raised his eyebrows, disbelief written all over his face.
Jiang Rui gritted his teeth and continued, "Last night Jiang Xi said... he was worried about Ye Can going home alone, so maybe he went to see Ye Can off?"
