I wanted to sit outside until dawn, but it was just too cold.
He still managed to get inside in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, the flavor was still there, but it wasn't as strong as before, so I could barely keep it going.
He spent the night in a daze, enduring the pain.
Before dawn, he couldn't hold on any longer, got up and exercised outside for a while, then went to the station's staff to ask for the keys.
The guesthouse has spare keys available from the staff.
Fortunately, the stagehands get up early anyway, so it wasn't really disturbing anyone's rest.
Back in his room, he intended to lie down comfortably on the kang (a heated brick bed) for half an hour, but because he had been tossing and turning so much in the middle of the night, he ended up sleeping for several hours before Dai Yuanyuan woke him up by knocking on the door.
When I woke up, my hair was all messy. I opened the door and saw Dai Yuanyuan wearing a beige coat, her long hair draped over her shoulders, with a bow in the same color as the coat still hanging in her hair.
The morning sunlight shone on her face, making her beautiful features even more stunning.
"Tianxiao, I made breakfast, come and have some."
“Ah,” Wang Tianxiao shook his head subconsciously, “No need to trouble yourself, I don’t have the habit of eating breakfast, I’m not hungry.”
"Eat less, otherwise there will be leftovers. Besides, my dad has something to say to you."
"Are you eating with the old farm manager?" Wang Tianxiao asked involuntarily.
"Pfft," Dai Yuanyuan smiled, "What do you think? You really wanted to eat with me, didn't you? Too bad, you don't have that chance."
"hehe."
Wang Tianxiao smiled and didn't respond to the topic.
"I'm going back now. You can just come to my dad's place later."
"Um."
Wang Tianxiao watched Dai Yuanyuan's figure gradually disappear into the distance, sighing that people really can change.
When I first met Dai Yuanyuan, she wasn't like this. She had short hair and spoke and acted like a tomboy, full of energy and enthusiasm.
That's why Wang Tianxiao didn't like it.
He didn't like girls who were too active; he was more interested in gentle and tender girls like Li Yali.
This is related to his personality, not because lively girls are bad.
To avoid making others wait too long, Wang Tianxiao quickly finished washing up and arrived at Dai Zhixin's house in less than ten minutes.
It's strange, Dai Zhixin has a room, but Dai Yuanyuan is staying at the guesthouse, I don't know why.
"Xiao Wang, come quick, we've been waiting for you."
Dai Zhixin and Dai Yuanyuan were already seated at the table and greeted him warmly.
"Good morning, Manager Yuan Yuan."
"Stop with the formalities and sit down to drink your porridge. It's freezing cold outside, or it'll get cold."
"Eh."
Wang Tianxiao picked up the bowl of porridge and took a big gulp.
The porridge was a golden millet porridge, cooked until very soft and mushy. Even before tasting it, you could smell its rich aroma, and it was indeed incredibly delicious.
The beauty extends from the mouth all the way to the stomach.
The porridge was a little hot, and when he swallowed it all at once, his esophagus was still burned, and he couldn't help but exhale the hot air.
His disheveled appearance made Dai Yuanyuan unable to suppress her laughter.
"Drink slowly, no one's going to take it from you." Dai Zhixin was amused by this.
Wang Tianxiao gave an awkward smile.
The three of them ate their meal casually and unknowingly started talking about Liu Jun. Dai Zhixin still looked regretful, feeling that it was a real pity to waste such a talented person like Liu Jun with such a bad leg injury.
Wang Tianxiao remained silent.
Dai Yuanyuan sneered, "He deserves it."
"Yuanyuan, what are you saying?" Dai Zhixin scolded her angrily.
“That’s true,” Dai Yuanyuan said dismissively. “I’m afraid you’re the only one who thinks Liu Jun is a talent. I think you’ve been bewitched by him. Everyone here knows Liu Jun is no good. What can he do besides flattering you?”
"You're going too far. You don't even know Xiao Liu."
“How much more do I need to know him? You don’t know, Dad, every time he sees me, it’s like I’m naked. He feels uncomfortable all over, it’s disgusting.”
As Dai Yuanyuan spoke, she suddenly realized that it was indeed inappropriate for an outsider like Wang Tianxiao to say these things. She immediately stuck out her tongue and gently stirred the bowl of porridge in front of her with a spoon.
"If such a thing really happened, how come I didn't know? You're not just imagining things, are you?" Dai Zhixin was skeptical. He didn't doubt his daughter, but he felt it wasn't appropriate to think of Liu Jun like that.
"If you don't believe me, then forget it. You can ask Tianxiao."
Dai Zhixin turned his gaze to Wang Tianxiao, whose chopsticks for picking up food were suspended in mid-air as he pondered how to reply. Just then, he heard someone knocking urgently on the door.
Dai Yuanyuan went out to open the door and brought in a person.
He is a staff member in the station office.
With a constipated expression, he greeted Wang Tianxiao and then anxiously said to Dai Zhixin, "Manager, something's happened."
"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered? Is the sky going to fall?"
Dai Zhixin gestured to the visitors not to panic, to speak their business, and to take their time.
"It's Liu Jun..." The man hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say.
"Tell me, aren't you in a hurry?"
"I really don't know how to say it."
"Hmm?" Dai Zhixin looked at the newcomer with curiosity, thinking that this comrade was not usually this hesitant and stammering, so why was he being so slow and indecisive today?
"A woman came to the station, leading a child who looked about three or four years old. She said he was Liu Jun's son."
"Liu Jun's family has arrived, so quickly?" Dai Zhixin was taken aback. "Isn't his hometown in Shanxi? How come his family has arrived today, just two days after the incident?"
