Shu Li looked at him suspiciously, unable to believe that these words came from his mouth.

The wind at night was very cool, but she couldn't feel the slightest bit of coolness.

Like being roasted by fire, scorched by his eyes, like a scalding heat wave, engulfing her bit by bit.

Hearing the sound of fireworks exploding again from behind, Shu Li came back to his senses and said uncomfortably, "I don't know, anyway, just don't misinterpret my meaning."

Then, without waiting for him to say anything, he turned around and continued watching the fireworks.

Thinking that he had frightened her, Zhao Jingchuan inexperienced once again reflected on himself, and restrained his words and deeds.

But after a while, he uncontrollably lowered his head and asked in her ear, "Can I hug you for a while?"

Shu Li didn't understand why he asked her such a question, he was not so polite when he first kissed her.

She thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes."

With her consent, Zhao Jingchuan raised the corners of his mouth, put aside the cold coffee in her hand, squeezed her hand and embraced her in his arms.

Shu Li was hugged by him from behind, and he couldn't see his expression, but he could smell the clear and familiar breath on his body. Fortunately, he couldn't see her clearly, otherwise he would definitely find the corner of her lips that couldn't be pressed no matter how hard he tried..

The third round of fireworks seems to be different from the second round. Unlike the first two rounds, which are almost all of a single color, this time they explode in various colors, unpredictable, and look better than before.

Shu Li moved his hands and said to Zhao Jingchuan, "I want to take a photo."

After being released by him, she took out her phone from her pocket, opened the camera software, and took two random photos of the night sky.

The long and white fingers lightly tapped on the screen, adjusted the recording mode, and recorded a short video of two minutes.

After recording, she switched the mode back, accidentally pressed the conversion button of the front camera, and instantly changed to Selfie mode.

Seeing his own eyes appear on the screen, Shu Li was taken aback, and was about to switch back, but in the next second, he inadvertently discovered through the screen that the man behind him was staring at the fireworks in the sky in a trance.

He didn't notice her, didn't look at her.

At this moment, the angle, lighting, and atmosphere are all just right, and everything hints at her that this is a great opportunity.

Shu Li was breathless, and didn't miss this good opportunity. She lightly pressed the shutter button with her finger, and quickly took two pictures, quietly making up for the regret of not taking a selfie in front of the Christmas tree.

Regardless of whether the shots are good or not, you can make money if you can get them.

Shu Li smiled in satisfaction, intending to replace the front camera and continue shooting fireworks.

However, at the second when she switched the rear position back, it was revealed.

Zhao Jingchuan's gentle and lazy laughter came from behind, reminding him softly, "If you want to shoot, shoot well."

What was he alluding to, Shu Li pretended not to understand, "I'm taking good pictures."

As she spoke, she took two more photos of the fireworks, the purpose of which was to cover the group photo she had just secretly taken, for fear of being seen by him in the small picture.

After the shooting, she lowered her head to appreciate it, and felt that the night scene mode was not bad.

"Really?" Zhao Jingchuan moved his head closer, and said meaningfully, "I mean next time, don't be sneaky, take pictures casually, I don't care."

Shu Li was stunned by what he said. The moment he finished speaking, the fireworks were over, and the night sky returned to the tranquility just now. She let out an ah, and was about to explain that she was taken away by him without saying a word..

Zhao Jingchuan said, "Go home."

"All right."

She did take a sneak shot just now, since he found out, there is nothing to deny.

Shu Li didn't explain or speak, and went back to the street where he just walked with him, and got back to the car.

Zhao Jingchuan reversed the car and left. This place is not far from home, and it can be reached in more than ten minutes.

Shu Li looked at the rearview mirror and straightened her long hair that was blown by the wind. Seeing that the road lights were hung with little red lanterns, she guessed that it might be because of the New Year. She asked sideways, "Do you have a holiday for New Year's Day?"

He shook his head: "No."

Shu Li was shocked for a second, "Not even a day?"

"It should be half a day."

"Only half a day?" This is too outrageous.

I just came back from the countryside last night and haven't had a rest.

I have been working normally for the past few days, but only have half a day off on New Year's Day. Is it true that people will not be exhausted?

Thinking of her three-day holiday on New Year's Day, she had to spend time at home alone, and she was inevitably a little bit disappointed.

Thinking that he has been working all the time, and even accompanied her out for dinner and watching fireworks on Christmas tonight, was moved a little in heart.

Zhao Jingchuan hummed and explained to her, "I forced it."

Shu Li didn't understand, "Why?"

"There will be two more days off during the Spring Festival, and I will take you to a place when the time comes."

Shu Li blinked unexpectedly, unable to bear the strong curiosity: "Can I know where it is?"

He drove seriously, looking straight at the road: "You want to know now? It's okay to tell you now."

"That's fine."

Hearing his tone sound like a surprise.

Surprises have to be saved until the moment you witness them!

She can wait and is willing to wait.

When got home and opened the door, saw Mango standing in the entrance, biting his slippers and angrily shaking them around. He let go and threw them to the corner, and yelled at them twice.

The attitude is obviously different from the past, not bouncing around their legs, nor pulling their trousers to act like a baby.

Shu Li could see that it was losing its temper at a glance, and it seemed that it was still very angry.

After changing her shoes, she bent down and knelt down to rub its head, comforting it gently. Seeing it lying on the ground with a proud and indifferent look, she couldn't laugh or cry.

Shu Li raised his head and asked Zhao Jingchuan, "Is it angry because we didn't bring it when we went out to play and came back so late?"

Zhao Jingchuan didn't say yes or no, walked into the house and turned on the heater, and said calmly, "You go take a bath first, and I'll take it downstairs for a walk later."

The tone is too perfunctory.

Gouzi understood, and he whined aggrievedly in Shu Li's arms.

Seeing that it was wronged like this, Shu Li smoothed its fur, gently pinched its ears with his fingers, and teased it with embellishment: "Your father doesn't like you anymore, and won't you obediently please me in the future? Know who cares about you,Is that really good for you?"

After listening, Mango didn't even whine, and his eyes were completely closed.

Even so, after Zhao Jingchuan drank a glass of water, took a short rest for a few minutes, bent over to snare him with the dog, and took him out to play, he still got up and walked out wagging his tail.

At that moment, Shu Li seemed to see his own shadow.

For Zhao Jingchuan, it seemed that as long as he waved, she would definitely walk over.

After Shu Li took a shower, he saw that he hadn't come back yet.

He sat on the bed with his mobile phone, waiting for him while admiring the photos taken tonight.

Among the two group photos taken secretly, one was blurred due to hand shake.

Fortunately, the other one was taken clearly, and it is very beautiful.

When Zhao Jingchuan came back from walking the dog, Shu Li was still admiring the photo, zooming in and out constantly, looking at every detail several times, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

He saw her smirking non-stop staring at the phone, and asked with great interest, "What are you laughing at?"

Shu Li lied to him and said, "I saw a joke."

"What joke?" He took off his coat, went into the cloakroom to find clothes, and was about to wash up, "Let's hear it."

Shu Li refused to tell him that she wasn't watching any joke at all, so she shook her head and started to make up nonsense: "I won't tell you, it happened between my friends."

The implication is that if you don't know this person, you won't understand where the joke is.

That being the case, Zhao Jingchuan didn't ask any more questions.

Not knowing if it was an illusion, Shu Li noticed that his brows and eyes dimmed a bit, like when he asked her what wish she had made in Xikou Town that night.

Just because she wouldn't tell him?

When did he become so curious about her?

In the evening of the next day, Shu Li got off work earlier than Zhao Jingchuan, remembering that he hadn't gone out to stock up for a long time, and the refrigerator at home was almost empty.

She went to the supermarket, pushed the trolley, and saw that all the things she wanted to buy were put in, and when she was about to check out, she took out her mobile phone and called Zhao Jingchuan to ask if Zhao Jingchuan was free, and came to help her carry the things.

At that time, Zhao Jingchuan had just returned home from get off work, parked the car in the parking lot and received a call from her before getting out of the car.

He said hello and asked her to wait for him for five minutes, and he will go over now.

Shu Li told him that there was no rush, and walked slowly to the cash register to line up to pay.

I came here to buy things several times, and every time bought a lot, the cashier looked very familiar with her. Seeing her bring so many things, he smiled knowingly and looked in the direction of the door.

Sure enough, saw a man with an overhanging figure striding over the steps and entering from the door, and then stood aside and waited quietly.

After paying the bill, the man picked up his things without saying a word, and went home with her.

The tacit understanding of the movements is really enviable.

After entering the house, Zhao Jingchuan was in charge of packing things and putting them in the refrigerator, and Shu Li was in charge of cooking.

She put on an apron, tied up her hair, washed and cut the tomatoes she bought, poured some water into the pot, put the tomatoes in and simmered for juice.

While waiting for the cooking time to finish, she took out the beef and cut it into pieces.

After Zhao Jingchuan packed the refrigerator, he didn't leave. He took out an orange from the fruit she bought, peeled a small piece of it with his bare hands, brought it to her lips, and handed it to her to eat.

Shu Li bit it into her mouth, not realizing that the flesh was cold, and when it spread between her lips and teeth, she felt a chill, she said with chattering teeth while swallowing, "It's so cold."

Eating fruit in winter makes my mouth numb from the cold.

Seeing her painful expression, he thought it was funny, and suddenly suggested to her, "Do you want to warm it up for you?"

"How do you heat it up?" Shu Li glared at him, wanting to say some nonsensical things he said, "Why don't you heat it up for me?"

"Wait."

The man was full of confidence, and as soon as he finished speaking, he didn't go to the microwave oven to throw the oranges in to heat up, nor did he go to get hot water to assist heating.

Instead, he leaned forward, surrounded her in a blind corner of the counter, lifted her chin lightly, lowered his head, pressed his warm thin lips to her, and kissed her involuntarily.

He kissed extremely gently, rubbed and licked her lips, using his own body temperature to transmit heat, and then asked hoarsely, "Is it still cold?"

Only then did Shu Li realize that the heating he was talking about turned out to be this kind of heating?!
