Tang Chen wanted to go out, but the sudden sound of boiling water in the kitchen killed her idea in the cradle. Tang Chen deliberately touched her injured wrist with the corner of the table, and her face turned several shades paler: "...hiss!"
"What's wrong?" Liang Shuyi stepped forward and hurriedly removed the gauze, then was stunned: "You are really injured, have you seen a doctor?"
Tang Chen nodded and said, "I've checked it out. He said that if you take a good rest recently, you'll be fine after a while."
Liang Shuyi, familiar with the process, dug out the box that Tang Chen usually kept her medicine in, and while helping her rebandage the wound, she said unhappily, "I've already told you, you don't have a talent for cooking, and you don't need that little money. Just have someone make it and send it over. You deserve this pain!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
When Liang Shuyi went to look for the medicine box, she saw that the quilt was not folded. Thinking that Tang Chen might have been disturbed after just a short rest, she simply stood up and said goodbye: "It's boring. I'm leaving first. You can have a good rest. It's almost the end of the year, so I may not be able to come in the near future. I'll have someone send you holiday gifts."
"How can I do that? Let me make it clear, I won't accept anything that's too cheap."
"I get it. Look at your character. You have no future." Liang Shuyi shook his head with some regret, then left in a hurry.
Liang Shuyi had just left, and Tang Chen had just run to the kitchen to let Wang Yanzhou out. He didn't know what the wind was blowing today, but it actually blew Lin Feng here as well.
Tang Chen thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly pushed Wang Yanzhou back: "Why are you here too?"
"Are you?" Lin Feng saw Tang Chen standing in front of the kitchen door in panic, like a guilty thief. His professional instinct told him that there must be something hidden in the kitchen, and he really wanted to see what it was.
After Tang Chen pushed against the door, he quickly laughed and said, "Well, you came right after Liang Shuyi left. It's rare for you two to have such tacit understanding, so I was a little surprised! You know, I'm a rash and noisy person, haha."
Seeing her like this, Lin Feng probably guessed what was in the kitchen, so he stopped asking. He just looked down at Tang Chen's left hand and asked softly, "...Does your hand still hurt?"
Tang Chen smiled and said, "Much better. It shouldn't hurt after a while."
After hearing Tang Chen's words, Lin Feng finally put his worries to rest. Fortunately, she was safe and sound, and his cold wind on the roof hadn't been in vain. The friend she had been hiding was actually a decent man, not touching her or doing anything rude.
"...Okay, stop hiding. We've already met before, so there's no need to be so formal."
Just as Lin Feng finished speaking, there was a knock on the door behind Tang Chen. Tang Chen opened the door with some surprise and asked in confusion, "Do you know each other?"
"I knew about it the night he arrived, and we've met several times since then." Although Lin Feng concealed some details in his words, what he said was all true. Ever since he learned that a man had suddenly appeared in Tang Chen's courtyard, he had to admit that he was a little worried.
Tang Chen was inexplicably dazed for a while, then suddenly woke up. He quickly stood in front of Wang Yanzhou and explained to Lin Feng, "I can explain it. Trust me. Wait for me to organize my words!"
Lin Feng hadn't seen her scratching her head and face anxiously in front of him for a long time, so he comforted her, "No need to explain, just focus on healing."
"……oh!"
After a brief introduction between the two parties, Wang Yanzhou was escorted back to the bedroom by Tang Chen, holding the hot water bottle, to rest. She and Lin Feng sat in the main hall, chatting casually.
Before long, the already gloomy sky began to snow heavily again. As a gentle southern woman, Tang Chen's favorite thing to do on weekdays, besides killing cockroaches, is to watch the snow.
So when winter came, she ordered some small tables and chairs to put under the eaves. Whenever it snowed, she would bring the stove and tea sets, sit outside, watch the fluttering snowflakes, and smile like a 200-pound child.
"The snow this year is really heavy!"
Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh at her childlike appearance. "I ordered a nice plum blossom for you from Four Seasons Pavilion. I'll get it for you when your hand gets better."
"Um."
Tang Chen casually plucked some snow and held it in his hand. After secretly rolling a snowball, he threw it at Lin Feng. Tang Chen originally wanted to tease Lin Feng, but he didn't expect that this person would become stupid. He stared at him for a long time before saying, "You, haven't you been sleeping well recently?"
Tang Chen felt a little embarrassed by his concern and threw the snowball he was about to launch aside: "Hehe."
Lin Feng stood up, put the tea set away, and urged her to go inside to rest, "Go in and get some sleep." Perhaps out of concern or genuine amnesia, he seemed to have truly forgotten Wang Yanzhou, who was now lying on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, holding a hot water bottle, and looking at them both resentfully through the window.
Tang Chen reached out and patted Lin Feng's hand, then shook his head slightly and showed no intention of going in: "Let's not sleep anymore. The day is short and it will be dark soon. It's not too cold now that it's snowing. Let's just sit here and watch the snow."
"Then shall I go get you a thicker cloak?"
"Um!"
When Lin Feng went to get the cloak, he glanced thoughtfully at Wang Yanzhou, who was also looking at him. After handing the cloak to Tang Chen, he hesitated for a moment and suggested, "My place is bigger, how about..."
Tang Chen smiled. Before Lin Feng finished speaking, he knew what he wanted to say and what he was worried about. "It's okay. The New Year is coming soon, and he has a lot of things to do. Since he wants to stay, he can just take a few days off here with me."
Honestly, she hadn't initially thought she'd be "keeping" Wang Yanzhou for such a long time. But then, seeing that Chen Xin hadn't come to pick him up, she had a rough idea of what Wang Yanzhou was thinking. He simply wanted a quiet place to rest, so she decided to do him a favor.
Besides, if he hadn't been there, I wouldn't know where I'd be working on a construction site now. I'll just consider it as a way of repaying him. It's just sleeping on the floor, so it doesn't seem particularly difficult to sleep. When I'm half asleep at night, I still feel like I'm sleeping in her little bed.
Seeing that Tang Chen himself had no objections, Lin Feng didn't say anything more: "If there is anything you need help with, just let me know."
