The car got stuck in a deserted place in the mountains. Shen Ci sighed, how unlucky it was.
The driver got in and out of the car and checked it many times. He was responsible for maintaining the car, but now such a big accident had happened. He was anxious and scared.
Perhaps because Lu Xiao was staring at him, the driver was extremely nervous. He couldn't find the problem for most of the day and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
The car door kept opening and closing, letting in a lot of cold air, causing Shen Ci to sneeze. A chill seeped in from outside his clothes.
Shen Ci rubbed his red nose, tightened his clothes, and regretted throwing away the earmuffs, scarf and gloves before leaving.
"Get in the car and close the door."
Lu Xiao glanced at the driver with a faint look, but it made him feel creepy.
The driver responded immediately, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat in the driver's seat trembling with fear.
"I'll call grandpa." Shen Ci took out his cell phone, praying that there was still a signal here.
Fortunately, the call was connected quickly. After understanding the situation, my grandfather said that he would send someone to pick them up on the road immediately.
Shen Ci checked the navigation and found out it would take about half an hour to reach his grandfather's house, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
It is estimated that rescue will arrive soon.
The car was turned off and the heater couldn't be turned on. The freezing cold outside the car window had already started to seep in. Shen Ci put on his coat again, but still felt cold.
Just as he was worrying, he suddenly felt warmth on the back of his neck. Shen Ci was so excited that all the pores in his body exploded and he almost jumped up and hit the roof of the car.
He turned his head and saw that it was Lu Xiao who covered him with his big hand and grabbed his entire neck with one hand.
Lu Xiao patiently used the warmth of his palm to warm Shen Ci's cold neck that was exposed to the air, and coaxed him, "We'll be home soon."
Shen Ci nodded blankly.
The car was silent. Shen Ci's neck was warm and comfortable. In contrast, he felt very cold.
He glanced sideways at Lu Xiao, who was wearing a large pure black woolen coat that looked very warm.
Then I looked down at myself. I was only wearing a denim jacket and a thin sweatshirt. No wonder I felt cold.
Shen Ci sighed and stared at Lu Xiao's coat without saying a word.
It turns out that I should learn from my uncle in the future, wear more clothes in winter, and be a health-conscious boy.
Shen Ci would look at Lu Xiao with a pitiful look like a puppy from time to time, and Lu Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing the child hugging his arms and trembling all over, Lu Xiao guessed what he was thinking.
He touched the back of Shen Ci's neck and twisted a few strands of his soft hair, and asked softly, "Are you cold?"
Shen Ci sounded a little aggrieved, and said sullenly, "If I had known, I would have brought a scarf."
Lu Xiao pulled at the collar of his coat, his voice deliberately tempting: "Do you want it?"
Shen Ci quickly shook his head: "No, no, if I wear it, won't you be cold, uncle?"
Lu Xiao's smile deepened, and he easily lifted the man onto his lap with his long arms: "This is what I mean."
Shen Ci was unexpectedly pulled to sit astride Lu Xiao's thighs. He looked up at Lu Xiao in a daze.
Lu Xiao lowered his head and touched his forehead affectionately, chuckled, and his warm breath sprayed on Shen Ci's face, making his ears feel hot.
He pressed Shen Ci into his arms and wrapped him in his coat. Shen Ci's whole body was surrounded by warmth and he felt so comfortable that he was about to bubble.
"It's really warm..." Shen Ci murmured, and slowly felt sleepy again.
Shen Ci quickly and obediently wrapped her legs around Lu Xiaojin's waist and held on tightly like an octopus, with her entire upper body wrapped in the warm woolen coat.
The little Shen Ci in his arms is now as obedient as a white rabbit.
Lu Xiao touched Shen Ci's soft hair and back, and couldn't help showing tenderness in his eyes: "Go to sleep if you want."
The sound of a strong heartbeat was right beside his ears, and Lu Xiao's chest was buzzing a few times because of his speech. Shen Ci rubbed his face against it, and his eyelids began to fight, but the strange bubbles in his head continued.
The current posture... looks like a mother kangaroo and her baby kangaroo in her pouch.
Lu Xiao's body is probably all muscle, and it's hard to use as a pillow. It would have been more comfortable to hold him when he was younger.
He is so busy, but he still doesn't forget to exercise?
Alas, my abdominal muscles are only a thin layer, when can I train them to look better...
Shen Ci uttered "hmm" in a daze, and actually fell asleep in Lu Xiao's arms.
The driver sitting in the front seat was so nervous that he dared not speak a word. He had a lot of questions in his mind but was too scared to say anything.
There was clearly an emergency bag in the car, with a thick blanket inside! It was Mr. Lu who put it in there himself, saying that Young Master Shen would be afraid of the cold...
What is Mr. Lu doing now?
***
When Shen Ci opened his eyes again in a daze, the car sent by his grandfather had arrived.
He rubbed his eyes, rolled off Lu Xiao and opened the car door.
"Master Lu, Master Shen, good afternoon." The butler who came with them bowed politely to the two of them and handed Shen Ci a cup of hot chocolate that had just been poured out of the thermos: "This is what Master specifically asked me to bring."
Grandpa is still the same as before, as careful as a whim.
Shen Ci took it and thanked the old housekeeper obediently: "Thank you, Uncle Li!"
Uncle Li raised his eyebrows in surprise. Although Shen Ci had been polite to him in the past, he had never thanked him so nicely. It was good enough that he didn't give him the cold shoulder on weekdays.
Could it be that the young master of the Lu family finally came to his senses and discovered that Shen Ci had been spoiled by him to the point of being lawless, so he actively tried to save Shen Ci and made him change?
"Xiao Ci, it's cold outside. Shall I carry you out of the car?" Lu Xiao patted Shen Ci's shoulder and said gently.
Uncle Li: “…” Well, he was overthinking it.
Shen Ci was too embarrassed to stick to Lu Xiao anymore in front of everyone. He shook his head and thought to himself, "I'm not a child anymore, why should I be so coquettish?"
He got out of the car holding Reqiao, and entered a motorhome under the guidance of the housekeeper. The warm air blowing in his face almost made Shen Ci burst into tears.
This is normal operation!
***
Shen Ci's grandfather's home is in the neighboring city. The entire single-family villa is located on the riverside with a unique view.
As soon as the two entered the gate, they saw Shen Ci's grandfather sitting by the river that flowed into the courtyard, fishing leisurely.
Although the old man has white hair, he is still in good spirits.
Shen Ci shouted "Grandpa" from a distance, then ran over and hugged him: "It's been a long time since I saw Grandpa!"
Grandpa Shen Ci smiled and patted Shen Ci's head: "You little bastard, you scared Grandpa's fish away as soon as you came!"
It sounded like a rebuke, but the tone was full of tolerance and indulgence. Shen Ci stuck out his tongue and said, "Then I'll help you catch some more!"
Lu Xiao also walked over with a gentle expression. Facing Shen Ci's grandfather, he put away his sharp edge and looked at the old man with humble and respectful eyes.
To outsiders, he and Shen Ci's grandfather were close friends regardless of age difference, but to Lu Xiao, the old man was more like a wise military advisor.
This time he turned down his work and came early with Shen Ci, not just for the purpose of having fun during the holiday.
"Ah Xiao, you've come at the right time. Come and help me take a look at this fish." Grandpa Shen Ci said to Lu Xiao with a smile.
Lu Xiao looked up and saw a thin layer of ice on the river surface. The only thing he could see was fish swimming quickly through the holes he had smashed around the fishing rod.
"Very cunning." He said lightly.
The old man smiled and said, "Yes, but when I see the bait, I can't help but run over to shake it."
Lu Xiao looked at the river and murmured, "Should we put out some bait?"
Grandpa Shen Ci laughed: "When you are really hungry, you will do anything desperate."
"Also..." He glanced at Lu Xiao and said meaningfully: "Sometimes the fish in the front may also be bait."
Shen Ci sat on the lawn, looked up at Lu Xiao, then tilted his head to look at his grandfather, totally unable to understand what they were talking about.
Seeing Lu Xiao lowering his eyes in deep thought, Grandpa waved his hand and said, "Xiao Ci, go and play by yourself first. I want to talk to Xiao about something."
Shen Ci had never understood the conversation between the two since he was a child. He probably thought they were talking about some profound truth. Since he couldn't understand it here anyway, Shen Ci simply nodded and stood up.
"Uncle Li! What are we having for dinner tonight?"
Shen Ci saw the housekeeper Uncle Li walking into the villa from a distance. His attention was instantly drawn to him. He ran over shouting, and his voice gradually faded away.
Lu Xiao followed Shen Ci with his eyes all the time until he turned the corner and entered the villa. Then he withdrew his gaze with a gentle smile remaining on the corner of his mouth.
The old man smiled helplessly: "You young people... forget it, I won't care. Come, tell me in detail about the recent situation of Yunxiao Group."
***
The sound of a TV came from the living room. Grandpa probably forgot to turn it off after watching it. I don't know what kind of soap opera was playing, but it was irritating to Shen Ci's ears.
He walked over, picked up the remote, pointed it at the TV and just touched the "off" button, the TV screen changed to commercials.
Shen Ci was stunned. What was on TV was actually the traffic safety public service advertisement he had participated in shooting a few days ago.
It's going to be aired so soon? I'm really anxious.
The overall editing effect is quite satisfactory, and it is a very standard and simple public service advertisement.
Maybe because he was shy, Shen Ci would feel awkward every time he saw himself on TV. He would just watch for a while and then turn off the TV.
The phone vibrated wildly several times, and the lock screen showed that Wei Shuo had sent a bunch of pictures.
Shen Ci clicked on it with some confusion, only to find that what Wei Shuo had posted was... a stupid emoji package made with his photo?!
The corner of Shen Ci's mouth twitched as he recognized that the images were from the public service announcements and behind-the-scenes footage that had just been aired.
He rolled his eyes when he was cut off and commented, "I don't want to bother with you."
I laughed so hard that my eyes got distorted and blurred, and the screen was filled with “HAHAHAHAHA”
The disgusted and vicious expression of hiding from flying insects, with an added "噫".
…
In short, each one is ugly in his or her own way, and none of them reflects their appearance normally!
Shuo Shuo: "I am dying of laughter. The idol image is being torn off by the fans themselves, hahahaha!"
Coke baked thorns: "?"
Shuo Shuo: "You must know this, right? These are all stupid emojis made by your fans, and they even bought them to be on the trending search list!"
Shuo Shuo: "Now the number one trending search is all about you. Oh my, your expression is so funny! You are already a comedian now."
Shen Ci: “…”
His fans... Is this "love goes deep, love turns black"? !
