"Okay." Yun Qiao did not try to be stubborn and returned Xinxin to Gao Qian as he said, letting her hold her.
"Then be careful and watch out for the steps."
Gao Qian held Xinxin very steadily, Yun Qiao was watching over her from the side, and the two of them came down the stairs smoothly.
At this time, the brothers Shao Jinxin and Shao Musen had already run away. Gao Qian spat, "I wonder where these two bastards have gone to play again."
"It's getting dark. Do you want to look for it?" Yun Qiao asked.
"No, we're still in the family compound, we won't get lost." Gao Qian said, "Come on, let's go."
Yun Qiao nodded, and the two of them walked home together, chatting and laughing about the plot of the movie, and finally parted at the entrance of No. 6 Hutong.
"Dr. Qin, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Yun Qiao waved at Gao Qian and turned to walk into Alley No. 6.
There were no street lights in the alley, and it was so dark that one couldn't see clearly under their feet. Yun Qiao brought a flashlight with him. He took it out of his bag, turned it on, and used the light of the flashlight to walk to Yard No. 5.
The courtyard gate was still locked and He Tingjun had not arrived yet.
Yun Qiao took out the key, opened the door and went into the house. When closing the door, he thought about it and decided not to lock it from the inside.
Zeng Qi's sister-in-law said that He Tingjun might come over in the evening, and she wanted to leave the door open for He Tingjun.
Anyway, there are people patrolling the family compound, so you don’t have to worry about thieves breaking in even if you leave the door open at night.
The auditorium accommodated more than a thousand people, and many of them smoked. After watching a movie, their clothes were stained with a hint of cigarette smell. It was very cold, so it was troublesome to wash cotton jackets. Moreover, the cotton core would lose its warmth after being washed too many times. So Yun Qiao did not wash it. He took off the cotton jacket and hung it under the windowsill to dry overnight to see if the cigarette smell could be dissipated.
Then Yun Qiao simply washed himself, added a handful of firewood to the kang, and with the help of the heat from the kang, he got into the quilt and fell asleep in a short while.
She was half asleep at night and seemed to hear the sound of a door opening.
Without opening her eyes, she called out half awake, half vaguely: "Tingjun?"
After getting a positive answer, he could continue to sleep peacefully.
In her sleep, she felt a pair of rough fingers lighting fire on her body. She twisted her waist, but was held by a strong hand.
Hmm...wet dream?
Yun Qiao was too sleepy to think, and let the familiar body carry her to higher and farther peaks.
When I regained consciousness, I was awakened by the smell of food.
Yun Qiao opened her eyes and saw the familiar ceiling above her head. The nightgown she was wearing was rolled up to her waist because of her sleeping position. Something was not right. Yun Qiao remembered that she was wearing separate pajamas when she slept last night.
She propped herself up, her legs a little sore but bearable.
Wrapped in thick clothes, Yun Qiao lifted the quilt, got out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and opened the bedroom door.
In the kitchen in the living room, He Tingjun, wearing a light gray sweater and an apron tied around his waist, was standing in front of the stove frying eggs.
Yun Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the door frame, yawned, and asked him, "When did you come in yesterday?"
"One thirty." He Tingjun was frying eggs and didn't even look up when he answered.
Yun Qiao asked him, "Why didn't you call me when you came?"
"I called you and you answered. What? Have you forgotten everything?" He Tingjun raised the corners of his lips.
Yun Qiao blushed: "I thought I was dreaming..."
He Tingjun flipped the fried egg over and turned to tease Yun Qiao. But when he looked up, he saw that she had come out with bare legs. His concern immediately took over and he said, "Why did you come out with bare legs? It's cold outside. Don't catch a cold. Hurry up and put on some clothes."
