The snow stopped in the afternoon, and the accumulated snow on the road was cleared to the side.
Wen Yanqing wanted to visit Shi Jun, and Lin Gantang was concerned about the cat employees in the bookstore. Wen Yanqing sent her to the bookstore first before they would go to Shi Junâs house together.
Lin Gantang found it funny. âWhy must I go? Canât you go yourself?â
âToday was meant for you,â Wen Yanqing said.
If it wasnât for the fact that it was unsafe to travel in the snow, it would have been their time alone.
Wen Yanqingâs words were so convincing that Lin Gantang could not refuse.
Although it was New Yearâs Day, due to the weather, the bookstoreâs customer flow was not high. Lin Gantang put the American Shorthair in the shop to quarantine it. When Ximi saw her, she ran to her and meowed.
Lin Gantang picked it up, rubbed its smooth fur, and raised it in front of Wen Yanqing. âIâll take a video; carry it.â
Wen Yanqing was suddenly attracted by the calicoâs beauty. That feelingâ¦It was more or less exciting. The human and cat looked at each other. The calico meowed and Wen Yanqing reached out to hug it.
Lin Gantang took a silent video of the storeâs furnishings and books, as well as the cute back of the catâs head. After editing, she uploaded it with music.
Lin Gantang did not have time to pay attention to the comments. As the editing took some time, she was afraid that Wen Yanqing would get anxious. When she looked for him, she found him sitting quietly reading a book while the calico dozed off beside his book.
Lin Gantang secretly took a photo and saved it before she went over to him and said, âIâm done. Are we leaving?â
Wen Yanqing closed the book and put it back. He held her hand and left.
As Wen Yanqing drove north, Lin Gantang looked at the buildings and scenery outside the car; it felt more and more familiar.
It turned out that Shi Jun also lived in the North Mountain Villa area.
The person who came to open the door for them was the nanny that Shi Jun had hired at the last minute. Wen Yanqing entered the house and saw Shi Jun sitting on the sofa with his calf in a cast, a walking stick beside him.
âYou finally remembered me?â he asked Wen Yanqing. âBrother, you seem to be favoring your partner over your friends.â
Wen Yanqing smiled and sat down. âIt seems like youâve recovered quite well; youâre in the mood to mock me.â
As they spoke, a person came out of the kitchen.
Qin Jiayao was a little surprised to see Wen Yanqing and Lin Gantang. She removed her apron and went to get her bag. She said to Shi Jun, â1â11 be leaving first.â
After Qin Jiayao left, Wen Yanqing looked at Shi Jun. âYouâve reconciled?â
âI canât say. If she wants to come over, I canât stop her. Thatâs all,â Shi Jun said calmly.
Why couldnât he stop her? Couldnât he just reject her at the door? Wen Yanqing saw through it and did not expose it. He found a bag of strawberry biscuits on the coffee table and smiled. âBought it for her?â
âI bought it for guests. Gantang, do you want some?â
âShe doesnât like strawberry flavor.â Wen Yanqing put down the biscuits, picked up a milk candy, and handed it to Lin Gantang. He smiled gently when he looked at her.
âAlright, you came to my house to show off your love?â Shi Jun laughed and scolded.
Lin Gantang sat at the side and listened to them chat. After eating the milk candy, she took a few orange candies. She hadnât met Shi Jun many times and couldnât get a word in. She simply read the latest comments under the new video.
Wen Yanqing leaned back in his seat with his right hand on the sofa, as if he was hugging Lin Gantang by his side. After a few sentences, he would glance at Lin Gantang.
âThatâs enough. When are you leaving?â Shi Jun bared his teeth.
Shi Jun didnât even want to keep him for a meal.
When the two of them left, it was snowing.
Wen Yanqing stood by the roadside and rearranged the scarf that Lin Gantang had casually put on.
Lin Gantang was eating a candy. Her right cheek bulged up a little, like the little hamster on her phone pendant. Wen Yanqing laughed and poked her face.
Lin Gantang looked up at him in confusion.
âIs the candy delicious?â
Wen Yanqing was afraid that Lin Gantang would take one out of her pocket for him to try after he finished speaking, so he simply lowered his head and kissed her..
