After receiving two sharp rebukes on the forehead, Liu Daniu finally behaved himself and stopped asking why.
Anyway, when I asked, it was always the same few words: envy, jealousy, and hatred.
The first snow of this winter was particularly heavy. At first, it was just light snowflakes, but by midnight, it had turned into large flakes falling.
The next morning, when Chi Xia drew back the curtains and looked outside, the snow had already piled up to half a meter high.
Remembering what they had talked about yesterday—the three squads that hadn't returned—Chi Xia frowned immediately.
She lay in bed for a while, then got up to wash up. Just as she finished washing up, there was a knock on the door downstairs.
Chi Xia went to open the door wearing slippers. As soon as the door opened, a cold wind rushed in, making her shiver.
Li Han quickly handed her the things in his hand: "Breakfast, come in quickly, or you'll catch a cold. Your brother-in-law will make things difficult for me."
Chi Xia took the things and placed them on the cabinet by the door, then wrapped her down jacket tighter around herself and said, "It's not that serious. By the way, you got up early, have you heard anything from those three teams?"
“No.” Li Han frowned deeply. “Early this morning, Wang Dalong and Wang Erlong went to inquire as my brother-in-law instructed, but they haven’t answered yet. My brother-in-law just finished eating when Sister Qiu invited him to a meeting. Sister Qiu originally wanted to call you, but my brother-in-law said he could go.”
Chi Xia nodded: "Go back now, let me know if you have any news."
"good."
After Li Han left, Chi Xia called Zhang Xinchunli and the others downstairs for dinner.
Chunli yawned as she came downstairs: "This snow is really heavy. It got so thick overnight. I was on the third floor and I saw that other places have already started to shovel snow."
Chi Xia brought out bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, and while filling them with porridge, she said, "After we finish eating, let's go out and shovel the snow in front of our door."
Chunli nodded, rubbed her messy hair, and came to the table: "What a pity, my wish to eat breakfast in bed didn't come true again."
Zhang Xin smiled and said, "How can you eat while lying in bed? Do you need someone to feed you?"
When it was just the four of them together, Zhang Xin was always the most uninhibited, and anyone could tell that her jokes were loaded with meaning.
Chunli showed no embarrassment whatsoever, and even nodded: "Yes, yes, isn't it good to be served?"
Chi Xia handed her the porridge: "Since you want Liu Daniu to serve you so much, I'll just go and ask Sister Qiu for a house for you two. We can take advantage of the cold weather and everyone's resting to hold the wedding."
Chunli took the bowl and chuckled softly, "This plan must have been my brother-in-law's original plan."
Upon hearing this, Ran Zhu chimed in, "I think so too, otherwise why would my brother-in-law be in such a hurry to propose?"
Chi Xia hadn't considered this, and tilted her head, somewhat puzzled, asking, "Is that so?"
“Of course that’s true,” Zhang Xin said with a smile. “My brother-in-law has been sexually frustrated for a long time.”
Chi Xia blushed, recalling several of Han Junche's inappropriate actions, especially that time when he pulled her hand to touch it...
"Cough cough..."
Chi Xia choked on her own saliva and quickly lowered her head to drink some porridge to cover the burning sensation on her face.
Looking at her, Zhang Xin gave a meaningful "oh": "It seems that your brother-in-law has already shown it. No wonder he was so angry about Yin Wanrou's staged accident, he issued a very angry announcement, and then ruthlessly kicked her out."
Chunli took a steamed bun, took a bite, and said indistinctly, "If I were my brother-in-law, I'd probably want to kill Yin Wanrou."
