Xu Nanfang's family was making dumplings today. Seeing her son at home, Xu's mother was overjoyed. She brought the nanny to make dumplings with Chinese cabbage and pork stuffing. Xu Nanfang also made dumplings, but he was clumsy and made Xu's mother and nanny laugh.
The family was having a good time when Xu's father came back. The nanny wiped her hands and took his coat. Xu's mother also said happily: "You came back today? It's just right for making dumplings. Your son made them himself!"
Father Xu looked very happy: "Did he really pack it?"
Xu's mother winked at Xu Nanfang, who smiled and said, "Dad, I made all of this. I'll cook it for you later!"
Father Xu also smiled and nodded. Suddenly, he kicked Xu Nanfang and sent him flying. A lid of dumplings fell to the ground. Xu Nanfang flew a long distance and hit the TV cabinet. The vase fell to the ground with a clang and broke into pieces.
Xu Nanfang sat on the ground in a daze, not reacting yet. Xu's mother and the nanny screamed and rushed over to help Xu Nanfang. Xu's father was about to hit him, but Xu's mother tried her best to stop him: "Why are you hitting my son? He is fine today, how did I offend you?"
Father Xu was furious: "He almost got me killed! This bastard has grown up! I have been worried for several days. My dear son is destroying me behind my back!"
"What are you talking about?" Xu's mother was confused and had to ask her son, "Nanfang, what trouble did you get into outside again?"
Xu Nanfang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and became furious: "What the hell have I done? I haven't done anything these days!"
Father Xu laughed in anger: "You won't cry until you see the coffin, right? Did you ask the inspection team to arrest someone? Is it for a girl?"
Xu Nanfang was stunned, his eyes suddenly flickered: "So what? That guy is a profiteer, he should be arrested!"
"I...I'll strangle you to death!" Father Xu rushed forward and was about to beat him again.
Xu's mother hugged his arm tightly, and only understood half of what she heard: "Nanfang snatched a girl from someone? Which girl?! Young people, aren't they all doing that for girls? It's not necessary to beat your son! Nanfang, run!"
Xu Nanfang took the opportunity to turn over and ran away.
Father Xu actually didn’t want to chase him. He waited until his son ran far away before he angrily threw his hands away and said, “You’re still protecting him!”
Xu's mother winked at the nanny, who quickly packed up her things and went downstairs. Xu's mother poured a glass of water for Xu's father and soothed him, "Let's talk it over nicely. What on earth did Nan Fang do to you?"
Father Xu sat down, drank some hot water, and said, "Didn't you ask me what I was busy with these few days? I was busy with meetings these days, and my heart was in my throat. I thought some enemy had found a handle to get rid of me. What a result!"
Ever since they received the news about Xie Zhao, Xu's father and his gang were furious. It was only a matter of words to save Xie Zhao, but now the situation was unstable and everyone was walking on a knife's edge. Any small problem would be magnified to infinity.
They first suspected each other whether Gongqi had a traitor, and then suspected that the enemy had found a handle and wanted to implicate them through Xie Zhao. They had thought of using Xie Zhao as a pawn, but Xie Zhao was very capable and thoughtful, and Xu's father didn't know whether he had left a way out for himself.
As a result, the situation became tense. Father Xu had been very angry these days. It was not until he heard what Cheng Yaoyao said that he realized that his own son had caused him a big mess out of jealousy.
After saying this, Father Xu got angry again: "Where is that damn boy? I will skin him alive!"
Xu's mother quickly held him down and asked, "You said Nan Fang was jealous of a girl? I have shown him so many girls, but he didn't even look at them! Has this child finally come to his senses?"
Father Xu picked up the tea and took a sip: "This is really beautiful."
Xu's mother said, "I don't believe it. How beautiful can she be? Who is she?"
Father Xu didn't take it seriously at all: "What's the Cheng name... Cheng Yaoyao."
Xu's mother's eyes lit up: "That famous beauty?"
Xu Nanfang, who had sneaked back, shouted, "That's her!"
"Bah!" Xu's father suddenly jumped up and chased after him. Xu Nanfang picked up his coat and ran away again. One of Xu's father's shoes hit the door frame.
Friendship Store. The store was warm as spring, with a dazzling array of new products. Xu Nanfang walked into the store lazily. He had just made his father angry, so he planned to buy a good cigarette to appease his father.
As soon as he entered, he saw a slender and graceful figure standing in front of the container, with long black hair tied up, revealing a snow-white swan neck. Xu Nanfang was shocked and turned around to leave.
"Xu Nanfang!" A fragrant breeze blew in his face. Cheng Yaoyao had already rushed in front of him, his peach blossom eyes were charming and fierce: "How dare you show up! Did you do what happened to Xie Zhao?"
"I..." Xu Nanfang forgot what he wanted to say because of her glare. He laughed dryly and said, "Yaoyao, I..."
"Don't try to make excuses! Look at your face, you're pretending, right?" Cheng Yaoyao pointed at the scars on his face, "You deserve to be beaten by your father!"
Xu Nanfang was surprised and asked, "My God, how do you know it was my dad who did it?"
"Bah!" Cheng Yaoyao was extremely disdainful: "You only know how to bully others by relying on the power of your family. To use Xie Zhao's words, can you please do something that a master should do?"
Xu Nanfang was so humiliated that he ran out of the store after Cheng Yaoyao and explained, "It was Wei Qiang who did it, not me!"
Cheng Yaoyao didn't believe it: "What grudge does Xie Zhao have against him? He cheated Xie Zhao because of you!"
"Him? He just listened to his girlfriend Liu Yue's instigation!" Xu Nanfang said, "I'll just finish this. I feel bad about it."
Liu Yue? Cheng Yaoyao finally remembered this person. It was such a long time ago. If she had the ability, she could have come for herself. Why did she have to trick Xie Zhao? She rolled up her sleeves and asked, "Where are Wei Qiang and Liu Yue now?"
"I beat that guy up, and I heard that he went back and kicked his girlfriend out." Xu Nanfang scratched his head.
"...You deserve it." Cheng Yaoyao put it behind his mind and turned away.
Xu Nanfang shouted from behind: "Yaoyao, I will beg my dad again when I get home, don't worry!"
Cheng Yaoyao waved his hands. With Xu Nanfang’s status in the family, would his father listen to him?
The air in Shanghai on a winter night was filled with cold and damp mist. Cheng Yaoyao had taken a bath in the public bathroom, and when she walked back to the tube building, the heat in her body was gone. She took out her key to open the door, turned on the light, and the bulb flickered and burned out.
Cheng Yaoyao pursed his lips and had to climb onto the bed in the dark. The room was not as warm as when Xie Zhao was here. The quilt was cold even under his body. It hadn't been warm for a long time. The scent of Xie Zhao on the quilt was already very faint. Cheng Yaoyao hugged Xie Zhao's sweater to his face and closed his eyes.
Perhaps because she didn't sleep well, she dreamed of the day she first came to Tianshui Village. In the primeval forest that blocked out the sun, heavy rain was pouring down. She was soaked through, and her limbs felt like they were filled with lead. Every step she took required all her strength. She took out her cell phone to find her grandparents and her father, but the address book was blank and she couldn't find anyone. She was cold and scared, so she had to bury her head and stumble forward, as if she would never get out.
Just when she was about to cry out of despair, she suddenly fell into a warm embrace and heard a deep voice in her ears: "Sister."
Cheng Yaoyao opened his eyes wide suddenly, like a drowning person being pulled out of the water.
"It's okay, sister just had a nightmare." The big hand gently patted her back to soothe her. The moonlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, reflecting a deep face.
Cheng Yaoyao gasped for breath until Xie Zhao's rough hand brushed across her forehead. She was surprised to find that she was sweating profusely: "Xie... Xie Zhao? Is it really you?"
"It's me." Xie Zhao leaned over and picked her up with the quilt.
"Xie Zhao, I dreamed..." Cheng Yaoyao burst into tears before he finished his words. He buried his face in his shoulder and said nothing.
After a while, a small area of the fabric on Xie Zhao's shoulder was gradually soaked. He put his lips on Cheng Yaoyao's hair, hugged her and whispered to her: "It's okay."
After a long time, Cheng Yaoyao gradually stopped sobbing and her breathing became steady. Xie Zhao held her and bent her waist to carefully place her on the bed. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Cheng Yaoyao suddenly stretched out her arms to hug him and said with a nasal voice: "Hold me."
"Okay." Xie Zhao was about to pick her up again, but Cheng Yaoyao hugged his neck tightly and rubbed against him in a naughty way.
"Sleep together."
Xie Zhao's Adam's apple moved, and he nodded silently. He took off his coat and trousers in the dark, and went to bed wearing only a tight vest.
Cheng Yaoyao lifted a corner of the quilt: "I'll cover you."
"I feel cold." Xie Zhao held her hand, but suddenly tightened it, and then touched her again: "Why is it so cold?"
Cheng Yaoyao's body was soft and silky, but she was sweating and cold. When he touched her bare and slippery feet, they were even colder. Xie Zhao did not hesitate any longer, he lifted the quilt and lay down, holding Cheng Yaoyao in his arms to warm her.
The bed was very small, and the two of them squeezed together on it. Cheng Yaoyao was almost lying in Xie Zhao's arms, and the small quilt wrapped them tightly. The small quilt that was as cold as iron just now was warmed by Xie Zhao's temperature, and it was very comfortable to cover the body.
Grandma often said that Xie Zhao was a fire pot, sleeping shirtless and taking cold showers even in the winter. Cheng Yaoyao felt that her grandmother was right. Xie Zhao was warm, and the yang energy surrounded her in every way, making her feel like she was bathed in the warm sunshine of spring.
The two hadn't had a good intimate time for many days, but Xie Zhao was lying quietly without any movement, which was unusual. Cheng Yaoyao couldn't sleep, and had a lot of questions to ask Xie Zhao, so he rustled in his arms.
Under the cold moonlight outside the window, Cheng Yaoyao saw Xie Zhao's thin cheeks, his facial features became more deep and hard, and there were some green stubble on his chin. Cheng Yaoyao touched it with his fingers, and it felt itchy. He touched his slender neck, and Xie Zhao said "hmm", his hoarse voice was like a marriage proposal, revealing a rare sleepiness: "Sister, go to sleep."
Xie Zhao's sleepy look was so funny, Cheng Yaoyao deliberately bullied him: "I'm awake, get up and chat with me. You haven't told me who let you back."
"Okay..." Xie Zhao responded, his eyelashes still drooping, and hugged Cheng Yaoyao's waist securely.
"Wake up!" Cheng Yaoyao pinched Xie Zhao's cheeks with both hands. Xie Zhao turned over and hugged her, burying her face in her soft shoulders. The stubble on her chin and her hot breath made Cheng Yaoyao shiver.
Cheng Yaoyao couldn't get away, and angrily pressed his cold feet against Xie Zhao's abdominal muscles. Xie Zhao hissed, and his narrow eyes opened a little: "Aren't you sleepy, sister?"
Cheng Yaoyao tapped his feet and said proudly, "I've slept for a long time, let's get up and chat!"
In the darkness, Xie Zhao's wolf-like eyes suddenly opened, and he turned over and pushed Cheng Yaoyao down: "Okay, okay, let's talk."
"Hmm? Mmm! Mmm…"
