Warm Water Spirits

It was after two o'clock to eat. Jiang Yunqi was too hungry and ate slowly.At the dinner table, thinking about the replay of the regular season with Liu Zhi when he asked for leave, and especially paying attention to the new Japanese team TosR, he became even more half-hearted.

There was a lot of wind and snow all night, and some scattered snow in the morning. In the afternoon, the bright sunlight refracted and reflected in the ice and snow, and shone straight into the house through the spacious balcony, dazzling people's eyes.

Pei Zhe sat on the sofa in the living room, lowered his head slightly, the light falling on his elbows and shoulders was extremely bright, and the diffuse golden halo reflected one side with deep eyebrows, eyes and a straight nose, two distinct light and dark, as he looked down, black eyelashes It also hangs slightly, sharp in the clear light, and deep in the dim light.

Jiang Yunqi chewed and chewed, just staring at Pei Zhe, but couldn't swallow a mouthful of food.

Pei Zhe is booking him a ticket back to City S tomorrow.

The ticket was booked successfully, and Jiang Yunqi received a text message on his mobile phone. The time was [-]:[-] in the morning. Jiang Yunqi took a look and said to Pei Zhe, "I want to go back in the afternoon."

Pei Zhe raised his eyes and stared at him. He chewed the rice several times, and touched the mobile phone with the hand holding the chopsticks. Pei Zhe said, "Eat well."

Jiang Yunqi swallowed the chewed rice in his mouth: "I don't want to eat it."

Pei Zhe turned to confirm the ticket information, but ignored Jiang Yunqi: "Finish."

Jiang Yunqi: "...Oh."

It was still dawdling, Pei Zhe got up and came over to look at Jiang Yunqi's rice bowl, amused: "Yunshen also eats like this in the team?"

Jiang Yunqi giggled, knowing what Pei Zhe meant, he used his hands and feet to hold Pei Zhe's wrist, and said more calmly: "Then feed me."

Pei Zhe touched Jiang Yunqi's cheek with his fingertips: "How old are you?"

Jiang Yunqi is very fierce, and his blue eyes are very serious: "Hey or not!"

Pei Zhe could only feed.

It's so comfortable to be at home, I can stretch out my hands to eat and open my mouth.Jiang Yunqi sat down on the sofa with his laptop to watch the replay materials sent by Liu Zhi when he was full, and occasionally browsed the forums, that was a leisurely experience.

Although it was the weekend, Pei Zhe still had some closing business to deal with at the end of the year, so instead of staying with Jiang Yunqi in the living room, he went to the study after feeding people.

The two each occupy a territory, so what should they do? As long as Jiang Yunqi doesn't make trouble, they will live in peace.

After five o'clock, Wenwen's hobby get out of class ended, and Aunt Song sent her to Pei Zhe's house. She was going to buy vegetables later, and then went to Pei Yue's house to pick up Wen Yi.

Everyone is having dinner at Pei Zhe's house today.

Wenwen knocked on the door and just called "Little Uncle", and Aunt Song reminded her, "Big Uncle is back too."

Wenwen looked up at Aunt Song without any hesitation, and continued to knock on the door the next second: "Little uncle!!!"

Jiang Yunqi smiled and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Wenwen, who was dressed chubby, rushed in quickly.

The outdoor temperature is too low, and the porch becomes completely cold in the blink of an eye when the door is opened and closed.

Fortunately, within a few seconds, the heater in the living room came all the way, Wenwen hurriedly took off her hat and scarf, and whispered: "Little uncle, let's go down and play later? Okay? I want to order some milk tea first. I'm thirsty." Dead. After drinking milk tea, let's go down and play, okay? The snow outside is so thick..."

Aunt Song glanced at the time. She was rushing to buy fresh ingredients. In fact, it was a bit late, so she stood at the entrance and said to Jiang Yunqi who was helping Wenwen take off her schoolbag: "No milk tea is allowed. There are muffins and rice cakes in the kitchen. There are also strawberries, eat them first when you’re hungry—what time does it start.”

Jiang Yunqi felt guilty: "It's not too late."

Wenwen was wearing too thick a schoolbag strap stuck to her arm, Jiang Yunqi tugged twice before taking off the schoolbag.

Wenwen put on her little slippers, stomped her feet, and rushed to the kitchen with a high-pitched and brisk voice: "Where are the strawberries, Aunt Song?"

"I'll let my little uncle get it for you later," said Aunt Song, who pointed at Jiang Yunqi with her gloved index finger, and glanced at the study room from the corner of her eye: "I'm used to it!"

Jiang Yunqi smiled.

Wenwen, who couldn't eat for a while, ran back to pick up her phone in her schoolbag, and raised her head to imitate Aunt Song when she heard the sound, and said to Jiang Yunqi with a small face pretending to be a model: "I'm used to—" she turned around and bumped into Pei Che who came out of the study , immediately stood upright, and whispered: "Uncle..."

Pei Zhe passed by, and touched Wenwen's pigtail with the hand hanging by his side: "Yes."

After that, Wenwen's actions became much quieter, and she stopped jumping around. She simply stuck to Jiang Yunqi's side and played with her mobile phone. While waiting for Jiang Yunqi and Aunt Song to finish talking, she looked up after a while to see if Pei Zhe had returned to the study. .

After Aunt Song left, Pei Zhe helped them wash the strawberries.

While eating, Wenwen encouraged Jiang Yunqi to go downstairs to play with her in the snow: "It's been a long time since it's been so big, let's go down and play, little uncle... It's super thick and can make several snowmen. I haven't played in a long time, let's eat Go down when you're done, okay?"

Jiang Yunqi said yes, yes.

Pei Zhe didn't enter the study this time, and sat aside with his laptop on his lap, with his normal expression, without saying anything.

Wenwen is impatient, knowing that when Pei Yue gets off work and arrives here, she will definitely not be able to play in the snow.Although Pei Zhe is majestic, Jiang Yunqi is facing her, so it doesn't matter.

After eating the strawberries, Jiang Yunqi led Wenwen in full armor at the entrance. Just as he was about to open the door and go downstairs, he saw Pei Zhe walking towards them.

Jiang Yunqi was funny: "Brother Pei, do you want to play too?"

Wenwen's expression was obviously not particularly looking forward to, the scarf was wrapped under her nose, and as soon as her eyes met Pei Zhe, she hurriedly went to pull Jiang Yunqi.

Feeling Wenwen's expectation, Jiang Yunqi said tactfully, "Brother Pei, it's too cold outside. We'll be back in a while."

Pei Zhe glanced at him silently, his eyes a little speechless, put on his coat and gloves, and opened the door first to go out.

The two young ones looked at each other for a few seconds, and quickly followed.

The white snow wrapped the ground, and stepped on it until it reached the heel.

In winter, the sky gets dark quickly, and a heavy snowfall seems to shake off all the clouds and mists in the sky. When you look up, there is nothing but the blue-gray indigo that is gradually changing.

At 05:30, the moon has risen.A round of clear yellow, clear and clear in the sky without any cover.

Wenwen gave a "wow" to the extraordinarily large and distinct moon, and squatted down to pile up snow.

The air was cold, with a slight wind blowing from behind, and snow particles fell from the bare treetops covered with snow.

Jiang Yunqi stood next to Wenwen to watch her snow roll, and after a while went to see Pei Che who was standing alone not far away.

Pei Zhe was also looking at them, but didn't approach them.

Wenwen seemed to be very capable. The snowball rolled up quickly became bigger, but the snow near the surface was a bit dirty, so Wenwen arranged for Jiang Yunqi to find cleaner snow: "Let's cover up the dirty place, I will build a small one later, and get more snow..."

Wenwen was too assertive, and Jiang Yunqi had no idea, so he followed Wenwen's advice and went to Pei Zhe's side to find Xue.

Jiang Yunqi squatted at Pei Zhe's feet to gather snow, and raised his head and said to Pei Zhe, "Brother Pei, what are you doing?"

Pei Zhe looked down at him, "Isn't it cold?"

Jiang Yunqi was wearing gloves, so he didn't feel cold: "It's okay. Would you like to help me?"

Pei Zhe didn't move.

Jiang Yunqi laughed, and began to collect snow around Pei Zhe.

After a while, with Pei Zhe as the center, Jiang Yunqi piled up the snow around his feet, and when he was about to push it towards Wenwen, the phone rang suddenly.

Jiang Yunqi straightened up, took off his gloves, and went to the inner pocket of the down jacket to take out his mobile phone.

After staying outside for a long time, his nose was so cold that Jiang Yunqi sniffed while answering the phone.

It was Boyu calling.

The other end of the phone was noisy, and there were Xia Min and Chu Ziluo's voices in the background. Jiang Yunqi vaguely heard them talking about the "one-third competition system" that was just released this morning.

Bo Yu: "The official statement has been issued, and the Seoul finals will be determined to use a one-third competition system."

Jiang Yunqi was not too surprised, and said "um" to show that he knew.

Excluding others, from the perspective of competition system reform, the one-third competition system can better demonstrate the true level of each team than the one-game victory or defeat.

"...The official meaning is to use this winter finals as a test of the one-third competition system. If it is fair and effective, it will be implemented as a routine in the subsequent intercontinental finals."

The exposed hand turned red quickly, and Jiang Yunqi sniffed subconsciously.

Boyu walked a few steps, and Liu Zhi's voice came from the other end of the phone: "We discussed it. It is unrealistic for the first team to play in all three games. It is too exhausting and affects your follow-up status. The second team must make arrangements. The key lies in which game the second team will play in. Everyone's tentative opinion is that the second team led by Xia Min will be arranged in the first game, and you will take the next two games..."

Jiang Yunqi listened attentively to the phone, the arrangement of the sessions that Liu Zhi said really needed careful consideration.

The second team as a whole is dominated by young trainees who have just come out of the oven, and their strength is much worse than that of the first team that has played countless regular games.Jiang Yunqi knew what Liu Zhi meant. The second team played at the start. Even if they lost points, the first team still had two full games to recover.

With his thoughts drifting away, Jiang Yunqi stood in the snow and listened to Liu Zhi's analysis.

A little distance away, Wenwen has piled up a big ball of snow, which is being modified back and forth from left to right.The little girl couldn't wait for Jiang Yunqi to push Xue over, so she ran over and pushed herself.The pink down jacket, pink rabbit hat, pink scarf, and street lamps are warm and glistening, shining on Wenwen who is enjoying herself, very cute.

Jiang Yunqi smiled unconsciously looking at Wenwen's back.

Xue Minghuai on the other end of the phone also agreed that the second team would arrange the first game, but asked if it would be more appropriate to arrange the middle game: "I mean, they will inevitably be nervous in the first game, except for Xia Min, Chu Ziluo and the others, which one is better?" Seriously played in the finals? What if you lose too many points? Let them see it first, and keep your mentality stable in the middle of the game..."

Xue Minghuai spoke in an orderly manner, Jiang Yunqi thought for a moment, but did not speak.

Suddenly, the hand holding the phone felt warm, and Jiang Yunqi turned his head. Pei Zhe was staring at him with downcast eyes, and wrapped his exposed back of his hand with a broad palm that took off a glove.

Jiang Yunqi smiled at him, looked down, paused, then raised his head and smiled at Pei Zhe, then opened his mouth and bit off the glove of the other hand, and went to unbutton Pei Zhe's coat.

Pei Zhe understood what he was going to do, so he didn't stop him, and took the glove from Jiang Yunqi's mouth.

The button was unbuttoned in a few seconds, and Jiang Yunqi buried it all in immediately.

Jiang Yunqi sighed silently due to the warmth that came to his face, and rubbed one cheek against Pei Zhe's chest several times, and almost lost his mind and didn't hear the voice on the phone.

Sure enough, full of warmth and lust, I have to cheer up even if I want to get down to business.

Pei Zhe reached out to hug him, and Jiang Yunqi hid in Pei Zhe's arms and talked on the phone.

Airtight warmth and comfort, like another world in the snow.

It was rare for Wen Cuo, who got off work early, to park his car and walk from behind Pei Zhe. He didn't see Jiang Yunqi for a moment, but only saw Pei Zhe standing far away and Wen Wen, who was playing in the snow by herself, and smiled. Said to Pei Zhe: "It's rare for my uncle to play with me—"

It was only when he got closer that he found Jiang Yunqi who was being hugged by Pei Zhe.A man was muttering while hiding in Pei Che's arms, so close to him that he was so tight.

Pei Zhe glanced at Wen Cuo, expressionless.

Wen Cuo "tsk tut" twice, didn't know what to say at all, felt that it was not appropriate to stay like this, pondered for a second, then shifted his gaze to Wenwen, who was accompanying the snowman, and suddenly felt that his daughter was a little pitiful.
