Hearing Lu Zhen’s words, Jiang Kai seemed to be a little anxious. After a few minutes, he sent another message. “There’s a shop on Fourth Street selling roasted sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes are delicious. Do you really not want to try them?”

Lu Zhen replied lazily, “l really don’t want to.”

Jiang Kai was still unwilling to give up. He sent an aggrieved emoji. A pitiful kitten made a begging gesture with its two front paws. “But I want to eat. I don’t want to go alone. Come with me. Please, good sister.”

Lu Zhen sighed and thought for a few seconds before getting up from the bed with difficulty. “Then wait for me.”

Lu Zhen got up and changed into a thick down jacket. She wrapped a cashmere scarf around her and finally put on a wool ball hat. After putting it on, she looked like a big piece of bread that had fermented very well. She went downstairs and saw that Jiang Kai was already waiting for him at the door. The boys were probably not afraid of the cold. Jiang Kai was only wearing a leather jacket that protected him from the wind. It looked like he was only wearing a thin sweater.

Lu Zhen revealed two big eyes from under the scarf and sized up Jiang Kai. She reminded him, “Do you want to wear more clothes? Don’t catch a cold after you go out.”

Jiang Kai said casually, “That won’t happen. Your brother is not someone with such a weak constitution.’

Lu Zhen thought silently, Are you saying that I’m very weak?

The two of them went out and walked to the parking lot. Jiang Kai got into the driver’s seat. In fact, Fourth Street was not far from where they lived. It was just that the road was not easy to walk after the snow, so it was more suitable for them to drive there,

Thinking of this, Lu Zhen regretted accompanying Jiang Kai out even more. When could sweet potatoes not be eaten? Why did she have to eat them on the first day of the Lunar New Year? She had to drive a few kilometers over.

After driving for a few minutes, they arrived at Fourth Street. After Lu Zhen got out of the car, she quickly put on her fur gloves.

“Where’s the roasted sweet potato shop?” Lu Zhen looked at the closed doors of more than ten shops on both sides of the street and looked at Jiang Kai in confusion.

Jiang Kai scratched his head. Before Lu Zhen could sense that something was wrong, he said quickly, “Sister, wait for me for a while. I’m going to the toilet!”

Before Lu Zhen could react, Jiang Kai rushed to the other end of the street. Because he ran too quickly and there was snow on the ground, his body tilted and he almost fell.

When Jiang Kai disappeared, Lu Zhen stood in the middle of the street and realized that she had been deceived. She had a faint premonition and her heart was racing. Footsteps sounded behind her. She turned around and saw a tall man standing quietly not far away, looking at her with a deep gaze.

The cold air entered her lungs. Lu Zhen felt a lump in her throat. A few seconds later, she turned around and left. Song Jia immediately chased after her and grabbed her arm. He said in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry. We lied to you, but I really want to see you.”

Lu Zhen glared at him. After a moment of pique, she suddenly thought of something and asked, “When did you come over?”

Song Jia hesitated for two seconds before replying, “Yesterday.”

“You came over last night?” Lu Zhen was stunned and a little surprised.

Song Jia nodded. Lu Zhen looked at Song Jia as if she had seen a ghost. Wasn’t it New Year’s Eve yesterday? He went to the town where the Jiang family’s old residence was on New Years Eve alone? What was he thinking?

Lu Zhen was shocked and depressed. She gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t do

such touching things. This will verify your guilt.”

Song Jia lowered his eyes. “1 just wanted to be closer to you. Since you’re not in the capital, 1 came over.”

Lu Zhen could not speak. The two of them stood on the street and did not speak. Occasionally, one or two people walked past on the street and looked at them strangely. Just as Lu Zhen was hesitating about whether to leave directly, Song Jia said, “It’s cold here. Let’s go sit on the ship for a while.”

Lu Zhen was stunned. “ship?”

Before she could react, Song Jia pulled her through the alley between the two shops. A moment later, they arrived at the riverbank behind the street.

Lu Zhen wanted to resist midway, but when she thought about how Song Jia had rushed here from the capital alone on New Year’s Eve and spent the lonely and desolate Spring Festival, she couldn’t say anything hurtful. She couldn’t push Song Jia’s hand away either.

The two of them walked to the river and stepped onto the limestone slab. An ancient ship floated in front of the two of them. Song Jia jumped onto the ship first and reached out to pick Lu Zhen up. “Slow down. Don’t be afraid.”

Lu Zhen hesitated for a moment before placing her gloved hand on Song Jia’s..
