After dinner, it was already dark outside, and Bai Xiaoling wanted to help her mother clean up the dishes quickly, but her mother refused:

"It's hard for you to work outside, so it's hard to take a few days off for the New Year, so don't do anything at home, just have a good rest."

Bai Xiaoling smiled: "The working hours of a day are indeed quite long, sometimes thirteen or fourteen hours. But fortunately, I didn't have too much tiring work, I just sat in the office and worked, typed, and communicated with customers, which was relatively relaxed."

"It's hard to sit in front of a computer for so long a day, isn't it?" Wu Xiuhong said.

"That's a little ......," Bai Xiaoling had to admit.

But he added, "But under normal circumstances, when I sit for half an hour, I will stand up and move my body, and I can still bear it."

Yan Xin encouraged her: "Work hard, behave well, and promote you to be a supervisor, then it will be much easier."

Bai Xiaoling shook her head: "Forget it, I also saw how our customer service director works, and what is thrown into her hands every day is a very troublesome thing, I would rather be tired and have a lower salary."

Yan Xin said: "You think it's troublesome, it's because you haven't understood this industry yet, the difficult ones won't, the people who know it are not difficult, and when you really figure it out, you will find that in fact, those things are quite easy to deal with."

Bai Xiaoling still shook her head: "But our supervisor is also anxious every day, and it looks really difficult."

She feels that it is not very possible for her to change her life by working hard, at most she is just giving herself a little pocket money, and she is far from financial freedom.

Whether or not you can be financially free has to fall on this half-brother.

Serious work, she feels that this is already her limit.

Relying on her strength to get a promotion and a salary increase, she feels that this is unlikely.

The directors of the company, at worst, have a bachelor's degree, she is only a high school student, and it is absolutely impossible to be promoted by relying on her strength.

Relying on something like family love, it's very possible.

To be able to become an excellent employee of Jinxi e-commerce company is not based on his own efforts, but on his relationship with the boss.

This made her understand where the opportunity to change her destiny was.

Wu Xiuhong went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, Yan Xin chatted with his father for a few words, and then went upstairs.

When he was free, he looked at his phone and received a few QQ messages from Elili, and he felt that he should also chat with each other.

didn't come with him for the New Year, Arili was not in a good mood, and she should be more comforted at this time.

After he went upstairs, Bai Xiaoling didn't stay downstairs for long, and then followed upstairs.

He also carried a bag of snacks in his hand, which contained potato chips, candy, spicy strips, duck neck, and so on.

After going upstairs, he didn't go to his bedroom, and went directly to knock on Yan Xin's door:

"Brother, open the door."

"What are you doing?" Yan Xin asked in the room.

"It's still so early, let's talk," Bai Xiaoling said, "It's been a long time since we've talked together."

She wanted to chat with Yan Xin alone, she especially liked to test where the bottom line of Yan Xin's tolerance for her sister was, but she couldn't find that kind of time at all.

When she was in the capital, every time Yan Xin came over, she avoided what she could, and tried not to be Yan Xin and Feng Xi's light bulbs.

When the three of them are together, she can only play a sister wholeheartedly, and she is also a sister who likes her sister-in-law more than her brother.

That's her way of survival.

I can't find any opportunity to challenge Yan Xin's bottom line.

Now that they have finally gone home, they have found an opportunity, and she certainly doesn't want to miss it.

"Aren't we always chatting together?"

Yan Xin said as he got out of bed and opened the door.

"I'm talking about talking alone, not a bunch of people talking together, I have a lot to say

I want to tell you, but I don't want anyone to hear about it."

Bai Xiaoling squeezed into the door when the door was only halfway open, and then closed the door with her hand, picked up the bag of snacks and held it up in front of Yan Xin, and said with a smile,

"We're going to eat all of this stuff tonight, talking as we eat."

Yan Xin frowned.

He still had his mobile phone in his hand, and he had only chatted with Ellilie for a few words, and he was terminated, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

But it's not good to show such unhappiness during the New Year.

If Bai Xiaoling is his own sister, then he can say that he is unhappy.

It's not, the daughter brought over by the stepmother, the kind that is half guest and half master, there are some things that can't be said, and you have to take into account the other party's face.

People happily came to talk to him, and he wanted to turn people away, which was too unusual.

I thought to myself, "Then just deal with a few casual words, and when she finds it boring, she will naturally leave."

But after glancing at the things she had brought with her, she frowned again and said:

"That's too much, can we eat it all for the two of us?"

"Why can't you finish it? I can kill it alone." Bai Xiaoling said with a smile.

Yan Xin pulled a chair out, "You sit."

Bai Xiaoling took a look at Yan Xin's bed, the quilt had been rolled out, and a corner was rolled up, obviously Yan Xin had already gone to bed just now.

Now it's still quite cold at night, it's a few degrees below zero, and there is no heating in this room, although the air conditioning is installed to make heating, but it is not turned on, and it is still quite cold to sit.

- They ate downstairs, and there was a small coal stove under the table, in which honeycomb coal was burned, so that it would be warmer.

At this time, lying in bed and hiding in the quilt can be regarded as warm.

Sitting on the chair, there was no fire, and it was quite cold to think about it.

She pursed her lips, but sat down anyway, "Thank you, brother."

Then, I saw Yan Xin calmly get on the bed, put the pillow upright, and lay on the bed leaning on the pillow, with the quilt covering his stomach.

There was some frustration in my heart, thinking:

"If Feng Xi was here, she would definitely not have been allowed to sit on the cold bench, and she would have been buried under the covers with him a long time ago."

Who calls herself just a sister?

With a smile on his face, he opened the bag he was carrying, put it on the table next to him, and asked Yan Xin, "Brother, what do you like to eat?"

"What's there?" Yan Xin asked while typing with his mobile phone.

"There are spicy strips, spicy dried tofu, duck neck, potato chips, plum candy, cha cha melon seeds, drunkard peanuts......

Bai Xiaoling reported a bunch in one go.

She bought it all in town, and this time she went upstairs and caught some of everything.

"Grab me a handful of melon seeds." Yan Xin said.

Bai Xiaoling took a bag of chacha melon seeds, and helped him tear open the seal, and then found a plastic bag to put on the bed, so that he could pour the melon seeds into it, so as not to make the bed all over.

I also found a bag to put melon seed shells.

There's a trash can where she's sitting, so she doesn't need these things.

Seeing Yan Xin typing with her mobile phone without looking at her, Bai Xiaoling felt a little aggrieved in her heart, but she still didn't show it, but asked with a smile:

"Brother, who are you talking to?"

"Yes, talk to the general manager of our company, there are some important things to discuss." Yan Xin replied.

This is not lying, at this time he is indeed chatting with Arili, the general manager of Starlight Entertainment.

As for whether the matter is important or not, it is a matter of opinion.

At least for him, it's important.

It doesn't matter what you talk about, it's what matters to chat.

During the Chinese New Year, the two people are thousands of miles apart, and what they need most at this time is this kind of companionship on the Internet.

Able to shrink

The short distance between people can also make loneliness not so lonely.

Bai Xiaoling didn't think of anything else.

Yan Xin had a Feng Xi, she felt redundant, and she would not have thought that he had other women.

When I heard that I was going to talk about important things with the general manager of the company, I didn't dare to interject and said:

"Let's talk first."

I sat back again, eating snacks while watching Yan Xin chat with QQ on his mobile phone.

With her here, Yan Xin was a little uncomfortable, always worried that his eyes would move to his mobile phone in the next second.

But fortunately, the person in this room is Bai Xiaoling and not Feng Xi, but he is a little uncomfortable, and he has not yet reached the point of being afraid.

So he was still chatting with Arily normally.

Sometimes I replied to a few sensual love words, or thought of Arili's state at this moment, and I couldn't help but smile on my face.

Anyone who knows knows how numb this smile is.

But Bai Xiaoling, a teenage girl, has she ever seen a man in love chatting with others online?

Seeing Yan Xin suddenly laughing there, he just thought in his heart: "It seems that this is the company's good performance, so he smiled."

After a while, "He laughed again, and it seems that their general manager has reported to him another piece of good news."

After a while, "It seems that their company is doing well this year, and he has laughed many times."

She is not an employee of Starlight Entertainment, and she doesn't know how much money this company makes, but judging from Yan Xin's smile, it should be a good performance and a lot of money.

I couldn't help but feel hot.

But no matter how hot the heart is, the cold in the house is still real.

People who get into the bed won't feel it, but if you sit on the chair like this, you will feel colder and colder after a long time.

Eating a snack doesn't relieve the cold.

She stomped her foot slightly.

At first, I was a little worried that Yan Xin would talk to the general manager of the company about business.

But then it was too cold, and I stomped harder.

Yan Xin heard the movement between chats and glanced at her:

"What's wrong with you?"

"I ......" Bai Xiaoling smiled awkwardly, "I'm a little cold......

Yan Xin looked at the quilt on his body, then at Bai Xiaoling who was sitting on the chair, and felt the coldness of his fingers, feeling that it was indeed a little cold.

said, "It's a little cold, but it's quite warm under the quilt, why don't you go back to your room and sleep?"

Bai Xiaoling was reluctant to go.

She is willing to stay by Yan Xin's side, even if she can't speak, she feels good when she looks at this handsome brother.

He twisted his ass in the chair and said, "I don't want to go back to sleep at this time......

"Isn't it cold to see you sitting here? Don't freeze." Yan Xin said.

Bai Xiaoling bit her lip, glanced at him, and said tentatively, "Brother, why don't I come to your bed and cover your quilt for a while?"

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

It's not a bad activity.

Sometimes in winter, relatives come over, or go to relatives' houses, and just a few people sit on the bed and chat, only holding a quilt to cover their legs.

At that time, no one felt abnormal.

It's still not like that, and he doesn't know.

Because he doesn't have many guests in his house anymore, and he rarely goes to other people's homes.

Now everyone's living conditions are much better, and it is not a luxury to burn a stove to bake a fire, and it is not an electric stove, so it will not be so cold.

Now seeing that Bai Xiaoling was so cold that both legs were shaking there, she looked quite pitiful, and she felt a little sorry in her heart.

He thought about turning on the air conditioner and not using much electricity.

But the remote control of the air conditioner is not in the bed, and I don't know where to put it.

And turn on the air conditioner to keep warm, and wait until it warms up, it will take some time.

His master bedroom is more spacey, and it is not so easy to warm up.

Maybe by that time, Bai Xiaoling's snacks have all been eaten and she has already gone back to her room to rest.

Thinking that according to Bai Xiaoling's statement, two people sit on one head alone, it doesn't seem to be very ambiguous.

So he nodded, "Then come up."

He also deliberately moved his body inside.

When I moved over, it felt like it was all cold.

It's like this in the quilt, not to mention sitting on a stool.

This made him realize that after sitting on that chair for so long just now, Bai Xiaoling was really cold.

Bai Xiaoling was overjoyed and didn't show it, but she said a very reserved "oh", walked to the side of the bed with snacks, and brought the trash can.

In the house, they wore cotton slippers, kicked off the slippers and went to bed, sat on the other end of the bed, and covered both legs with a quilt.

The place where she is now is where Yan Xin was lying before, the quilt and sheets were covered with heat, she sat down, and as soon as the quilt was covered, she suddenly felt warm, and couldn't help but smile:

"It's still warm in bed."

I was a little excited, thinking, "Does this count as sleeping with him?"

From the point of view of the meaning that everyone understands, of course it doesn't count.

But literally, it was indeed bed.

It's just that two people, one on one side of the bed and the other on the other side of the bed, are wearing thick clothes and even socks.

When she put her foot out, she was still a little worried, "My feet don't smell like they're going to smell, right?"

Although I had already washed my feet with the hot water on the stove and changed into new socks before dinner, I was still a little worried.

Seeing that the expression on Yan Xin's face did not change, it did not look like he was being attacked by an unknown gas, which was reassuring.

Inside the quilt, she leaned on one leg inside against Yan Xin's leg outside, although it was separated by a few layers of autumn pants and trousers, she could also feel the heat energy of the other party's body, which made her feel a little excited in her heart, and her body trembled a little with excitement.

Yan Xin felt the trembling of her body, looked up, and thought to herself, "I didn't expect her to be cold like this......

I couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and I just cared about chatting with Arilie, and forgot to take care of this sister.

Blame yourself:

"Yan Xin, Yan Xin, if this were your own sister, would you not care like this?"

"It seems that she still doesn't treat her as a family!"

Putting down the phone, he asked, "Are you cold?"

"No, it's warm now." Bai Xiaoling said.

"I see your legs shaking." Yan Xin said.

Bai Xiaoling understood what she was shaking, but she couldn't admit it, so she could only obey Yan Xin's words and said, "Yes, it's a little cold."

After saying this, he felt that Yan Xin's legs were closer to him.

Then, her trembling intensified.

Yan Xin said, "I've been covered in the quilt for so long, and my body is still warm."

This can be regarded as explaining why he took the initiative to post it.

Bai Xiaoling took this opportunity to squeeze a little more to him and stick it tighter.

In fact, she really wanted to put both legs on Yan Xin's body, it would be warmer.

But she also knew it wasn't possible.

To be able to get to this point, there is such close contact, it is already an unexpected joy, so don't have to inch in and ask too much.

Seeing that Yan Xin had put down his mobile phone, he asked:

"Brother, have you finished talking to the general manager of your company about business?"

Yan Xin said: "It's hard to say that the conversation is over, maybe she will send another message after a while."

He asked curiously, "On such a cold day, you don't go back to your room to sleep, you want to come and talk to me, what do you want to say?"

"You're my brother, just say it's nothing important, and talk more, isn't it also right?" Bai Xiaoling said.

Yan Xin nodded, "That's indeed how it should be."

If Bai Xiaoling feels left out and unhappy in this family, it will make her mother feel uncomfortable, and it may affect her father's happiness.

Therefore, the family should still get along in harmony.

Bai Xiaoling said again, "Besides, I really have something I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Yan Xin asked curiously.

"I know you have a good relationship with Sister Feng Xi, but Sister Feng Xi is not beautiful, how did you like her?"

Bai Xiaoling finally asked her own questions.

Although Feng Xi had a good academic performance and was admitted to Jingcheng University.

Although Feng Xi is very good at making money, he helped Yan Xin turn tens of thousands into hundreds of millions.

But she's not pretty.

Why did he get the love of Yan Xin, such an excellent man?
