Shu Yuan and the others were originally celebrating the New Year in Beicheng, but they came back because of the death of Grandma Jiang. Now that the New Year is not yet over, the relatives on their parents' side are naturally urging them to go there quickly.
Originally, Shu Yuan didn't know how to tell Jiang Suchu that she wanted to take her to Beicheng, fearing that she wouldn't want to. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhinian told her that he wanted to take Jiang Suichu to Beicheng to see the snow.
Shu Yuan: "Will Suibao go?"
She was worried that her grandma had just left and she was unwilling to leave Yun City.
Lu Zhinian nodded, "Yeah."
Shu Yuan: "As long as Suibao is willing to go, then we will go there together."
Lu Zhinian thought for a while and said to Shu Yuan: "Mom, I will take her to Qingyun Mountain Ski Resort for a few days. I won't take her to grandpa's house for now."
Jiang Suichu's current state is not suitable for her to contact some strange people. Moreover, she is a private person, so she will definitely be very reserved at her grandpa's house, and she will have to force a smile to deal with relatives and elders at home.
Shu Yuan naturally thought about this aspect, but she was a little worried, "I'm not worried about you and Suisui."
Lu Zhinian frowned and looked at Shu Yuan, "Why are you worried?"
He had gone skiing alone in Europe before and never heard her say anything uneasy.
Shu Yuan squinted at her son, stretched out her index finger and poked his temple, "Sui Sui is a girl, what's going on with a boy like you?"
Although she is an enlightened mother, it is still inappropriate to be alone with a man and a daughter.
Lu Zhinian scratched his painful temple, "Then what do you think we should do?"
It's Chinese New Year, so I can't ask Tang Mi to go with her, not to mention that she and Tang Zi went abroad years ago.
Shu Yuan thought for a moment and asked him: "Lele didn't go to his mother's place to celebrate the New Year, right?"
Lu Zhinian: "Yes, at home."
Shu Yuan: "Then you invite Lele to join us. Anyway, your Uncle Pei works in the bureau every day, and he is not popular at home."
She feels more at ease when the two of them accompany her together.
Lu Zhinian frowned, "Isn't Lele also a man?"
Shu Yuan rolled her eyes at him, "Wouldn't it be better for the three of us to play together? Then Lele will come to me and complain that you two are isolating him."
Lu Zhinian: "…….."
He curled his lips helplessly, "Okay."
Shu Yuan: "Then you give Lele a call and I'll book a flight first."
At around six o'clock in the evening on the fifth day of the first lunar month, the plane landed at Beicheng Suburban Airport.
This was Jiang Suichu's first trip away from home since she went to Xuancheng when she was a child. She was almost knocked down by the biting cold wind as soon as she left the airport. Fortunately, Lu Zhinian was behind her, holding her shoulders and stabilizing her.
She had never been to a northern city, and she felt a little depressed when she looked at the bare street trees along the streets and the lingering snow hanging on them.
"Lu Zhinian." She turned around and asked him, "Is this Beicheng?"
Why did she feel that it was a little different from the capital she imagined.
Lu Zhinian raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Yeah. Where else could it be?"
The tip of her nose was red from the cold, and Lu Zhinian easily pulled up the hat on her down jacket and put it on her head. There was a fur collar on the hat, which completely covered her eyes when she put it on, leaving only a pointed chin exposed.
Jiang Suichu pursed her lower lip, a little embarrassed to say it. She felt that Beicheng seemed a bit... rundown.
It doesn’t feel like a big city at all.
Seeing the way she hesitated to speak, Lu Zhinian knew what she was thinking.
He adjusted her hat and exposed her eyes, "Beijing Suburban Airport is close to the ski resort. This place is relatively remote."
Jiang Suichu nodded, "Oh~" So that's it.
"Hiss~ It's too damn cold in Beicheng." Pei Shuo put one hand in his pocket and pushed a black suitcase with the other. His teeth were chattering due to the cold, "A-Nian, you screamed Has the car arrived?"
Lu Zhinian pushed a large suitcase in his hand, which contained his and Jiang Suchu's belongings. He turned around and stood in front of Jiang Suichu, shielding her from the cold wind. He took out his phone and looked at the order information.
"Here we are, at Exit A3."
"a3..." Pei Shuo looked around, searching.
Before he could find the A3 exit, Lu Zhinian pushed his suitcase, put his arm around Jiang Suichu's shoulders and walked to the left, "Over there."
After getting into the car and feeling the heat in the car, Jiang Suichu felt like he was alive.
She took a breath and rubbed her hands, "It's really cold."
Pei Shuo sat in the front passenger seat and turned around to chat with her, "Sui Sui, now that you feel the winter in Beicheng, do you still want to get admitted to a university in Beicheng?"
Jiang Suichu was afraid of the cold. It was so cold in Beicheng in winter, so he thought Jiang Suichu would consider it.
Lu Zhinian also wanted to know her answer and looked sideways at her.
"Hmm..." Jiang Suchu tilted his head and said in a long tone, seeming to be hesitating.
Pei Shuo saw it and winked at Lu Zhinian with a malicious look on his face: Hehe, you are going to be abandoned by Princess Sui Sui.
Lu Zhinian glanced at him coldly, then turned to meet Jiang Suchu's eyes. Then he saw Jiang Suichu smile slightly and said in a determined tone: "Yes! I want to take the A-level exam."
Lu Zhinian was stunned for a moment. She was talking about getting admitted to A University, not to a school in Beicheng.
Moreover, she said it while looking at him.
Lu Zhinian turned his head, raised his chin and raised an eyebrow at Pei Shuo.
Pei Shuo rolled his eyes silently and said to Jiang Suichu in a complaining tone: "Just spoil him Suisui. Look at how cool he is."
"...I don't have one." Jiang Suichu's face heated up and he quickly glanced at Lu Zhinian.
The light in the carriage was a little dark, and she couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but she could vaguely see the slightly smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
Just at this time, Lu Zhinian's phone rang. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket. It was a video call from Shu Yuan.
When the video was connected, before Lu Zhinian could say the word 'Mom', he heard Shu Yuan say, "A Nian, where is Sui Bao?"
Lu Zhinian: "...next to you."
As he said that, he handed the phone to Jiang Suichu.
Jiang Suichu took the phone and called out sweetly: "Aunt Yuan, are you and Uncle Lu here?"
Shu Yuan and the others flew to the Capital Airport, not on the same flight as them.
"We just got home." After saying that, Shu Yuan adjusted the camera to the rear position and walked around the room, "Suibao, look, this is our home in Beicheng. When you come back from the ski resort, we will stay here."
Jiang Suichu pursed his lips and smiled, "Yeah."
After showing Jiang Suichu the room, Shu Yuan turned the camera back to the front, "Suibao, you must dress warmly if you go skiing tomorrow. You must wear the thermal clothes I packed for you in the box, and you must wear Knee pads and helmet.”
Shu Yuan gave a lot of uneasy instructions, and Jiang Suchu nodded and said yes with a smile.
Pei Shuo heard Aunt Shu Yuan talk a lot, but she never mentioned him or Lu Zhinian from the beginning to the end. He turned sideways, put his hands on the armrest box, stretched his neck and shouted at the mobile phone in Jiang Suichu's hand.
"Aunt Yuan, have you forgotten your two sons!?"
When Shu Yuan heard Pei Shuo's words on the other end of the phone, she laughed and said hurriedly: "I haven't forgotten it."
Pei Shuo curled her lips and said, "It's strange that I haven't forgotten. Aunt Yuan has been partial to Princess Suisui since she was a child."
Lu Zhinian looked at Pei Shuo's resentful look, chuckled, raised his hand and pushed his head back, "Stop struggling, your Aunt Yuan no longer has us in her heart."
"Nonsense!" Shu Yuan scolded, and then called them both, "Anian, Lele."
Jiang Suchu smiled and returned the phone to Lu Zhinian. Lu Zhinian took the phone and said lazily: "Ang, what are your orders, Ms. Shu?"
Shu Yuan glanced at him across the screen, "You two have to take good care of Suibao."
Lu Zhinian smiled and he knew.
He nodded and said in a long tone, "I know~"
Pei Shuo also turned around and said resentfully: "Aunt Yuan, you still haven't admitted that you are partial!"
"Hahaha~" Shu Yuan was so amused by Pei Shuo that she couldn't stop laughing. Just then, Lu Shenghua came into the room and saw his wife sitting by the bed, laughing almost to tears.
He walked over and asked, "What's so funny?"
Shu Yuan turned the phone to his face, "Lele, tell your Uncle Lu again."
Pei Shuo has been naughty since he was a child, but he never dared to be naughty in front of Pei Tian and Lu Shenghua.
Pei Shuo was frightened when he heard Lu Shenghua's voice. He chuckled twice and waved at the screen, "Uncle Lu, good evening."
Lu Shenghua sat by the bed and took the mobile phone from Shu Yuan's hand, "Well. You two must take good care of Suisui when you go skiing. If you bump into her, be careful and I will take care of you when you come back."
Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and then said in unison.
"Okay, Dad."
"I know, Uncle Lu."
Shu Yuan spoke to Jiang Suchu for a few more words, and didn't hang up the video until they arrived at the B&B.
Because the ski resort was in the suburbs, it was pitch black along the way. Jiang Suchu didn't see much of what it was like outside.
When we arrived at the B&B, Jiang Suichu was stunned as soon as he got off the car.
Everywhere you look is a vast expanse of white. Thick snow is spread on the roof and the ground. It looks like soft white cotton, which makes people want to lie down on it.
Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo were picking up their luggage from the trunk. Jiang Suichu lowered his head and carefully stepped on the flat and soft snow.
There was snow on the ground and it was difficult to push the suitcase around. Lu Zhinian carried the suitcase in his hand.
He turned around and looked at Jiang Suchu with his hands in his sleeves, his arms slightly spread to maintain balance, and he carefully stepped on a series of footprints on the snow.
He smiled and walked over with the box in hand, "How about learning to walk like a penguin?"
Jiang Suchu raised his head and glared at him, "You are the penguin."
Pei Shuo also came over with a box and saw the two of them standing at the gate and not going in. He winced and teased, "What are you two doing standing there? You want to be frozen like a popsicle."
With that said, he trotted towards the door of the B&B. He pushed open the door and looked back at the two people who were walking slowly, "Are you two penguins? You are walking so slowly."
Jiang Suichu: "…….."
Lu Zhinian glanced sideways at Jiang Suchu, who was walking extremely carefully, and saw that she was probably a little afraid of falling. He curled his lips, bent down, reached out, took her hand and put it into his pocket.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Jiang Suchu was stunned by his sudden movement and looked sideways at him. He didn't look at her, but at the road ahead. Jiang Suchu could only see his smooth jawline and the shallow dimple on his right cheek.
Jiang Suichu lowered his eyes and glanced at his clothes pocket, where two hands, one big and one small, were clasped together.
His pocket was warm, and so were his hands.
Pei Shuo saw everything Lu Zhinian did just now. He held the door with his hand and silently looked at the cold night in Beicheng.
Depend on! Am I some kind of cheap person?
Abuse me so much.
Did Lu Zhinian call me here to light the way for him to get angry? !
