"Then you're not coming back for dinner in the evening? Okay, I won't leave you any food. Qiu Zhuping waved her hand casually, signaling the two of them to hurry up.

When the two of them walked to the entrance, they looked at their backs and muttered, "What kind of annual meeting do you have to go to when you work at home?"

Bai Xiaojiu was reaching out to put on the coat handed by Qi Jingchen, and Qiu Zhuping's muttering was not very real.

But even if she heard, she wouldn't take it seriously.

After talking to Qi Jingchen thoroughly, she knew that he didn't care so much about face for her, and she was not afraid of being said to be a little white face.

simply told him to wait until the end of the year to find a job.

Originally, he came over at the end of the year, and at this time, most people were waiting to get the year-end bonus, and the job was quite stable.

Qi Jingchen didn't have a good education, no work experience, and he was not a local, so it was even more difficult to find a job at such a time.

Bai Xiaojiu was afraid that he would care about face, and he was afraid that he would hear some rumors, and when the time came, he felt that she also disliked him, and the misunderstanding would be big.

After all, she knew that she cared more and more about him now, and it could even be said that she had gone from hesitating to think about him now.

Once you care about someone in your heart, there will always be some gains and losses in your heart, and you know many things, and when you are involved with the people you care about, you will become uncertain.

The two of them made it clear and breathed a sigh of relief, and then Bai Xiaojiu also confessed that the situation at the end of the year was not good, and suggested that he look for a job after the New Year.

Qi Jingchen found out that Bai Xiaojiu cared about his feelings very much from that day, and he was already satisfied and wanted to do something for her to prove his love.

Now it's almost a matter of obedience, and it's always about work.

In fact, he heard Qiu Zhuping's muttering, but it was her mother, what could he say?

It's not quibbling, it's hard to tell the truth, he can't do anything but pretend he didn't hear.

Qiu Zhuping has been the same for a while now, occasionally in a good mood, and takes care of the little couple who live at home.

In a bad mood, he began to ask Qi Jingchen about various things, until he was speechless when he asked.

Recently, he started to urge marriage syndrome again, and from time to time he asked Qi Jingchen when he planned to get married.

Bai Xiaojiu didn't dare to tell Qiu Zhuping that Qi Jingchen had not yet reached the legal age, saying that Qi Jingchen was twenty-two years old, which was a fictitious age.

Qiu Zhuping couldn't wait for her to get married right away, once she knew that Qi Jingchen was so young, she wouldn't know what to say.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and never mentioned their age, Bai Xiaojiu's baby-faced face looked about the same age as Qi Jingchen, and Qiu Zhuping directly tacitly thought that he was about the same age as Bai Xiaojiu.

In other words, it is said that a man should start a family at the age of twenty-four or five, and he can only start a business before he can start a business, even if he works at home and is very leisurely, he needs to get married.

Qi Jingchen's head hurt when Qiu Zhuping urged him to get married, and he didn't dare to say a word to Bai Xiaojiu.

There seems to be a tacit understanding between him and Qiu Zhuping, and the two of them didn't mention this stubble in front of Bai Xiaojiu.

"You button up your clothes. It's cold outside. Bai Xiaojiu always thought that Qiu Zhuping and Qi Jingchen had been getting along quite happily recently.

When Qiu Zhuping and Bai Junguo first came back, Qi Jingchen often showed uncomfortable expressions, and gradually, he seemed to be accustomed to it, probably not afraid of Qiu Zhuping's preaching.

Bai Xiaojiu spoke, raised his hand to button the windbreaker for him, "When you get to the venue, you can unbutton it again." This is not the north. It's cold outside, and you button it all up. ”

Qi Jingchen originally thought that the winter in the south was very good, but he knew that as soon as the winter began to get cold, he was going crazy.

There is underfloor heating in the north, so it's warm everywhere you go, as long as you don't stay outside.

There is only air conditioning in the south, but the air conditioning is always on, and the air will be very dry.

And the winter in the south is overcast and cold, and the cold wind is really biting, penetrating the clothes and piercing directly into the cracks of the bones.

In the winter in the north, you wear a little thicker to keep the wind out, and as long as you don't stand in the ice and snow for a few hours, you will be fine.

But when you go out in winter here, when the wind blows, no matter how much you wear, the wind can penetrate the clothes, and you don't even know where to penetrate.

Qi Jingchen went to pick up Bai Xiaojiu from work almost every night, since it was cold, he didn't bring much winter clothes, and Bai Xiaojiu didn't let him pick him up.

After going out to experience a southern winter, Qi Jingchen didn't want to walk outside, and when he heard her mention the word cold, he couldn't help but shiver.

Bai Xiaojiu buttoned the trench coat tightly for him, and tilted his head and smiled at him with satisfaction, "I told Yang Yang that we would meet on Changxing Street and walk over together." I can't find where the venue of the annual meeting is nearby. ”

"Hmm. It's okay, I'm with you anyway. ”

As Qi Jingchen spoke, he took Bai Xiaojiu's hand, and when he turned to close the door, he paused and raised his voice, "Auntie, let's go." ”

"Go, go, go. Come back early, it's dark now and it's cold outside. Qiu Zhuping was still busy with her dinner with Bai Junguo in the dining room, and her voice was not too high, and she muttered, "You children, now as long as you demeanor is not warm." ”

Bai Xiaojiu saw that he was going to shout like this when he went out, laughed sullenly, patted him on the shoulder, and helped him reply, "We know." ”

slammed the door shut, and then turned his head to look at him, "It's almost the New Year, aren't you going to contact your mother?"

Qi Jingchen has been away from home for almost half a year, and during this time, she also thought about how angry she would be if she didn't contact Wu Fenjing.

But thinking of the words she said before leaving and coming to Rongchuan, it made him breathe a sigh of relief.

I gradually don't care if I swallow or spit out this breath, and I don't know.

Now that Bai Xiaojiu was brought up, he didn't want to lie to her, so he whispered: "I'm now, wait for a while." ”

Bai Xiaojiu knew that Qi Jingchen did not have a good relationship with his mother, and she and Qiu Zhuping were not particularly close mother and daughter, so she could understand it.

Listening to what he said was embarrassed and difficult, he smiled softly at him, "Hmm." Let's wait for the Chinese New Year. It's the end of the year, and everyone is busy. ”

Qi Jingchen likes her like this, making people feel comfortable, without so much pressure and restraint, he held her hand tightly, leaned over to his lips and kissed her, "Okay." Listen to you. ”

The two of them held each other tightly, got into the car and leaned close together, and it was not cold when they got out of the car.

Walking side by side for a while, the road is very wide, and there is not much green vegetation, and the wind blows unscrupulously.

Bai Xiaojiu leaned in Qi Jingchen's direction, holding his hand and shrinking.

Qi Jingchen took his hand out of his pocket, covered the back of her hand, lowered his head and asked with concern: "It's still cold, do you want me to give you the coat?"

Tonight is the company's annual meeting, and after preparing for so long, the head office is also coming, and the company requires everyone to dress a little more formally.

Bai Xiaojiu, who has never liked high heels, is wearing a winter dress and boots at this time, and even if the stockings are velvet, they are blown by the wind.

Although there is a thick down jacket outside, I always feel that the wind is blowing, and it is a little cold, and I don't know if it is a psychological effect.

Bai Xiaojiu glanced at him in order to dress as a couple with her, wearing a sweater of the same color inside, and there was only a thin warm jacket and shirt inside the sweater.

His coat, once removed, felt more breathable than her skirt.

"Dress yourself. Just walk to ......"

"You're finally here, and I'm going to die of cold. Zheng Qing's voice penetrated from Bai Xiaojiu's side, and the voice was so loud that it almost came to the wind.

Bai Xiaojiu turned his head to look at it, and snorted, "Didn't you say that it was more formal?"

Zheng Qing was wearing a bloated down jacket with an ankle-reaching hem, a black down jacket that covered everything inside, and a fluffy hat.

Her whole face was in a scarf, and she was so fully armed, but she was holding a roasted sweet potato without gloves, and there was black skin sticking to the corners of her mouth.

"Who is as honest as you, what is beautiful on the inside, what is beautiful on the outside? Zheng Qing walked up to her, lowered her voice a little, and held her roasted sweet potato in her hand.

"I bought it for you, can you eat it? Freshly baked sweet potatoes. Zheng Qing finally held the slightly hot roasted sweet potato in one hand, and handed the plastic bag hanging between her wrists in front of her.

"I'm going to have dinner in a while, do you still eat this?" Bai Xiaojiu has never liked to eat these, and glanced at them with a little disgust, but he saw Qi Jingchen staring at the roasted sweet potato with glowing eyes.

"Alright, bring it. The hand that was originally going to be pushed away stretched out between her wrists, took the pocket, handed it to Qi Jingchen, and softened his tone, "Just baked, be careful of scalding." ”

Zheng Qing waited for her to take it, hissed and changed one hand to hold the roasted sweet potato, tore the skin and took a bite, "Look, the guy who is heavy on color and light on friends." Talking to people is different. ”

"Can't stop your mouth even if you eat?" Bai Xiaojiu just took out a tissue from her bag and was about to wipe her mouth, when she heard this, she threw the tissue into her bag and found a moist tissue.

Slowly tore open the packaging of the moisturizing tissue, wrapped it in the glove, stretched it directly to Zheng Qing's mouth, and stretched out a hand to fix her jaw.

Zheng Qing was very familiar with her, and she was used to wiping each other's faces and mouths, so she subconsciously handed her chin in her direction, tore the skin of the roasted sweet potato, and still told her: "Are we going too early? It only started at eight o'clock in the evening, and it was only six o'clock." ”

Bai Xiaojiu waited for her mouth to stretch out, wiped the tissue down hard, and heard her gasp as she wished, jumped away quickly, and bent over with a smile.

Zheng Qing was shivering from the cold, originally just to wait for her, she felt too cold, she bought a roasted sweet potato to ward off the cold, and she bought it for her, she was like this?

Covering half of his cheeks that had been wiped with moist tissues, and the goosebumps were cold, Zheng Qing stared at Bai Xiaojiu and couldn't speak.

Bai Xiaojiu took out a tissue from her backpack again, took a few steps closer to her, and when she saw her retreating guardedly, she shook the tissue speechlessly, "You eat everywhere, can you wipe it clean if you don't take a tissue towel?"

"Don't take the tissues, it's too cold, I'm going crazy. Zheng Qing leaned towards her in fear, but before her hand came, she swept her eyes twice.

Bai Xiaojiu wiped her face and lips clean, and reached out to poke her eyebrows, "You can't trust me like that?"

The two of them have been interacting for so long, Qi Jingchen has been standing quietly on the side, but she is a little unaccustomed to it, and she turned her head to look.

Qi Jingchen had already finished eating the freshly baked sweet potato that was still a little hot, and he couldn't get enough of looking at the remaining layer of skin.

Sensing Bai Xiaojiu's eyes, he raised his head, like a puppy wagging its tail, and asked happily, "Is there anything else?"
