Chapter 372 Deep Winter

It snowed intermittently all night.

When I woke up in the morning, there was already a thin layer of snow on the eaves.

Outside the sliding door, there is a deep winter scene.

But inside the sliding door, it was full of spring.

Chen Qingqing slept on Xu Ye's shoulder all night. Perhaps the air conditioner in the room was turned on too high, but there was still a faint blush on her face.

Xu Ye tightened the quilt, still holding Chen Qingqing's shoulder with one hand, and reached out to the bedside table with the other hand, touched his watch, and glanced at the time.

Although he couldn't bear the thought of having to leave for Jiangzhou at noon, he still shouted twice: "Qingqing~"

Chen Qingqing hummed coquettishly, but leaned against Xu Ye again.

Xu Ye had no choice but to take his mobile phone and send a message to Qin Zhiwei: "Viagra, I may have to go there later."

Then, he sent another message to Zhang Xinzhou: "After checking out at noon, you arrange a car to take them back and tell them that when you get home, remember to send a message to the company group."

Qin Zhiwei replied quickly.

But Zhang Xinzhou didn't reply for a long time. He thought he was still sleeping at this moment. After all, after Xu Ye left yesterday, he still drank a lot of wine there.

After putting down his cell phone, Xu Ye fell asleep again.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already half past nine in the morning. Xu Ye carefully got up from the bed. After covering Chen Qingqing with a quilt, he bent down to pick up the pajamas on the ground and put them on. He entered the bathroom first and spent five minutes. He took time to wash up, then simply packed his luggage, and finally ran to the bedside, put his hand on Chen Qingqing's forehead, and said warmly: "It's almost ten o'clock, it's time to get up."

Chen Qingqing pursed her lips and said vaguely: "I don't want to remember~"

"Get up. If we can't get back to Jiangzhou tonight, your mother should be worried."

After Xu Ye said this, Chen Qingqing opened her eyes. She yawned and sat up from the bed. The quilt on her body naturally slipped. Chen Qingqing quickly covered her chest with her hands, and then pointed to her bag. , muttered: "There are clothes in the bag, please give them to me."

Xu Ye quickly stepped forward, found two pieces of light blue underwear, and handed them to Chen Qingqing.

Chen Qingqing wrapped herself in a quilt and put it on. Then she got up and put on her coats one by one. After washing and dressing up, Xu Ye had already packed everything.

The two had breakfast together in the hotel. After saying goodbye to several colleagues, Xu Ye drove Chen Qingqing back to the city to pick up Qin Zhiwei.

Xu Ye directly handed over the driver's task to Qin Zhiwei, saying that he slept very late last night and needed to catch up on some sleep. Qin Zhiwei looked at the two of them, and finally gave Xu Ye a meaningful look before he got into the driver's seat. Driving, using his mobile phone to navigate, he drove all the way towards Jiangzhou.

The road is not too congested.

It only took half an hour longer than expected.

The three of them set off in Magic City at 11:30 in the morning, taking a break at three service areas. During the more than eight hours of journey, Xu Ye and Qin Zhiwei took turns driving. Finally, at almost nine o'clock in the evening, the car finally arrived. Driving to the door of Qin Zhiwei's house.

"Then I'll withdraw first."

"good."

After Qin Zhiwei took the suitcase out of the car, Xu Ye drove Chen Qingqing to Hongye Villa.

On the way, Chen Qingqing had already sent a message to Jiang Meilin in advance.

When Xu Ye arrived by car, his mother-in-law was already waiting at the door.

"What time did you leave in the morning? Why did you arrive so late?"

Chen Qingqing felt guilty and did not dare to answer. Xu Ye quickly replied: "Blame me. I drank some wine at the company's annual meeting yesterday and got up a little late today."

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook some dumplings for you two?"

Xu Ye shook his head and said, "We just had a bowl of ramen in the service area an hour ago. Auntie, it's so late, so I won't go in. I'll come back tomorrow."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

"rest assured."

…

Xu Ye turned around and returned to his neighborhood.

A few more street lights in the community were broken, and the property management company had done nothing in the past two years. Xu Ye went upstairs in the dark, took out the key and opened the door. Lao Zhang and Lao Xu in the living room stared blankly at Xu Ye at the door. wild.

Xu Ye put the suitcase at the door, threw the key on the shoe cabinet, frowned and asked, "Didn't I tell you in advance that I might go home in the next two days? Why are you still looking at me like this?"

The old couple reacted quickly, and Lao Xu quickly turned off the TV. Lao Zhang stepped forward and asked with concern: "Er, are you hungry?"

"I ate on the way back, and I took a shower first. The clothes in the suitcase that were packed in plastic bags are dirty, but the rest are clean."

Xu Ye yawned and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

After coming out, he went directly back to his room. About five minutes later, Lao Zhang walked into the room with a cup of hot milk. He originally wanted to give it to Xu Ye, but he saw that Xu Ye fell asleep so quickly. , she quickly retreated from the room.

Lao Zhang washed the dirty clothes and hung them to dry overnight, and got up early the next day to prepare a hearty breakfast.

On the 29th, there are only nine days left before the Chinese New Year.

Jiangzhou just had a heavy snowfall last week. It has been cloudy and breezy for the past two days, and the highest temperature has not exceeded 5 degrees. At work, the air conditioner is turned on all day long, but at home, the air conditioner is rarely turned on in winter, and it is very heavy. Most air conditioners also have no heating capabilities in winter.

The only thing that can keep warm is the electric heater that can be seen in every house in the south. Xu Ye sits on it all day long, not bothering to move his butt except when eating and going to the toilet.

People in the company went back to their hometowns one after another. Li Tongwen didn't arrive until after 4 p.m. on the 29th because he lived far away. Xu Ye chatted with him for a few words. Seeing that the sky outside had turned gloomy again, he put on his slippers and said to Lao Zhang: "Mom, I'm going out for a while and won't be back for dinner tonight."

"There are so many dishes left at noon. Where are you going?"

Lao Xu laughed sarcastically: "Where else can I go? I must go to my girlfriend's house."

Xu Ye smiled: "Really, I will try to bring Qingqing to my home for a New Year's Eve dinner this year."

When Lao Zhang heard this, he expressed his support at the time, and went back to the room to find a few pairs of cotton shoes that he had made by himself, put them in a bag and handed them to Xu Ye: "These are all made by your mother. They are much warmer than the cotton slippers bought in the supermarket. Take them to your girlfriend's house."

"Okay."

Xu Ye quickly drove to Hongye Villa, rang the doorbell, and waited at the door with his hands rubbed.

In addition to Jiang Meilin and Chen Qingqing, Chen Hansong was also at home. He came early in the morning and stayed all day without going back.

When the doorbell rang, Chen Qingqing immediately stood up from the sofa and walked out of the living room quickly.

There were few guests at home, and Chen Qingqing knew that the person standing outside must be Xu Ye.

Chen Hansong didn't react for a long time. When he saw his daughter running out, he pointed outside, looked at Jiang Meilin and asked: "When I came to our house, was our daughter like this too?"

"Haha."

Jiang Meilin smiled and said: "You wish."
