It was freezing cold and had just snowed. There were not many people on the road. Song Zhi and Tang Junhe were walking side by side.
The cold wind penetrated almost every corner. Song Zhi subconsciously pulled her scarf and wrapped herself tightly, leaving only her eyes exposed. Only then did she feel much better.
Tang Junhe looked at Song Zhi, who was almost wrapping herself up into a ball, and shook his head helplessly. He silently took two steps forward, walked in front of her, and blocked some of the cold wind for her.
Song Zhi looked at his broad back and inexplicably thought of the scene when he saved her that night.
"Is your injury not healed yet?" she asked.
It has been half a month.
"Is the medicine I gave you ineffective?" Song Zhi asked doubtfully.
She just picked up the anti-inflammatory medicine at random that day. If it didn't work, she had other things in her space.
"The medicine is very effective. My injury has healed. Don't worry." Tang Junhe glanced at her and answered immediately.
"Didn't Nurse Bai just say that your injury hasn't healed yet?" Song Zhi didn't quite believe what he said.
His face froze for a moment before he replied, "I'm fine now. I know my own body well."
Hearing him insist on saying this, Song Zhi was too lazy to explore further.
Judging from the way he clamped himself just now, even if the injury hasn't healed completely, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Thinking of this, she said "oh" and strode forward.
The journey was boring, so Song Zhi would skip and jump as he walked, stepping on the thick snow piles and listening to the sound of his shoes, which added a little fun to the boring journey.
Tang Junhe looked at her jumping figure and shook his head helplessly. She was so old, but still like a child.
Suddenly, Song Zhi accidentally stepped on a slippery ice surface, her foot slipped, and her body suddenly lost weight and fell backwards. Song Zhi widened her eyes in horror. Just when she thought she was going to fall heavily on her butt, a broad and strong hand reached out from behind and held her steadily.
Tang Junhe grabbed her arm and steady her before he frowned and lectured her.
"Walk carefully, or you'll be hurt if you fall."
"oh."
Song Zhi responded.
Now I don’t dare to jump around like that anymore, I just have to walk quietly.
"When do you plan to go home for the New Year?" Tang Junhe suddenly asked.
Hearing this question, Song Zhi's expression changed slightly, and a hint of loss appeared in his eyes.
"I'm not going back. I didn't get a train ticket home."
"Do you miss home?" Tang Junhe took in her appearance.
It is indeed difficult to get train tickets for the New Year. He has been here for several years and naturally knows that there are basically only two educated youth who can get tickets to go home for the New Year every year, and the rest will basically stay in the educated youth village for the New Year.
She has never been away from home for such a long time since she was a child, not to mention that she can't go back for the New Year this time. Can she bear it?
"Of course I do."
Song Zhi thought that he hadn't seen his father for a long time. Although he sent a telegram back, it was still different.
"Then why do you even come here?"
Tang Junhe asked helplessly, she could have joined the art troupe and been a leisurely and comfortable young lady, but she insisted on coming here to the countryside to suffer.
Song Zhi curled his lips in frustration and said nothing.
She didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.
The two of them walked quite fast and arrived at Ran Qiu's house in just over an hour.
"Okay, I'm here, you can go back." Song Zhi stood at the door and said goodbye to Tang Junhe.
"Yeah." Tang Junhe nodded, but did not move, obviously wanting to wait for her to go in before leaving.
Ran Qiu was cooking dinner. When he heard Song Zhi's voice, he raised his head and looked through the kitchen window. When he saw Tang Junhe, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded to him lightly as a greeting.
"Sister Song is back!"
The three little guys ran over happily, ran towards Song Zhi, and warmly welcomed her home.
"What are you doing at home today? Look at how you all act like little kittens."
Song Zhi looked at their little faces covered with black carbon ash, nodded their heads and asked.
"We were just roasting sweet potatoes. They smell so good. You must try some later, sister."
The three little guys laughed a few times, wiped their faces embarrassedly, and then smiled and invited Song Zhi into the house to taste their roasted sweet potatoes.
Listening to the three little guys praising their roasted sweet potatoes to the heavens and the earth, Song Zhi smiled more dotingly and said to them seriously.
"Then I'm going to try it."
Seeing that they were all wearing very thin clothes, Song Zhi quickly took their hands and walked into the house.
"Come inside quickly. I'm not afraid of catching a cold after being out for two days wearing so little."
Tang Junhe stood there, watching her interacting with the three children, and couldn't help but be stunned.
I just feel that Song Zhi seems to have really grown up. She is no longer the little sister who needs others to take care of her everywhere. Now she takes care of others.
Ran Qiu stood in the kitchen. Seeing that he had not left for a long time, her eyes darkened slightly. She put down the things in her hands and limped out.
"Officer Tang, would you like to have dinner before leaving?"
Ran Qiu's voice brought Tang Junhe back to his senses. He shook his head: "No."
After saying that, he looked at Song Zhi, who was already sitting around the charcoal brazier with the three little ones, and said goodbye to her.
"Song Zhi, I'm leaving."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Song Zhi waved to him at the door.
Tang Junhe also raised his hand and waved twice in her direction, then he straightened his military coat, turned around and strode away.
After everyone left, Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing walked out of the room with gossipy looks on their faces. When they looked at Song Zhi, their eyes were full of envy.
"Song Zhi, you are so lucky."
Rong Zhengqing clicked his tongue twice and deliberately joked.
"Yin Ran and this Major Tang are both your flower protectors."
Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's eyebrows jumped, and he gave her a displeased look. He straightened his face and said to the two of them, "Don't get me wrong, they are not my flower protectors. We just grew up together, and he takes care of me like a sister. I'm not his type."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been unable to warm his heart in her previous life.
After explaining for a while, Song Zhi looked at them strangely again.
"Why didn't you come out when he was here just now?"
Hearing this, Nie Jinmei shrank her neck and spoke sincerely, "That Major Tang always has a stern look on his face. I get scared when I see him, so I never dare to come out."
Rong Zhengqing also nodded in agreement.
The officer had such a strong aura, especially when he looked at people, it seemed as if he was emitting cold air all over.
Song Zhi thought about it seriously and looked at them in confusion.
"What's so scary about him?"
"That's only for you." Rong Zhengqing curled his lips.
Nie Jinmei also nodded: "Yes."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but secretly say to Song Zhi.
"But to be honest, he doesn't look at you like a sister.
