Warm Water Spirits

On New Year's Eve, city S got up early and there was another hazy drizzle, the temperature reached [-] degrees Celsius, and there were signs of warm spring.The rain stopped at [-] o'clock, and the bright sun couldn't wait to emerge from behind the clouds and fog. The temperature was baked and slowly climbed two degrees.

When Jiang Yunqi, Bo Yulin and Xiyao set off for the airport, Uni-President took the down jacket with them tacitly.Because it is snowing in Jiangzhou at minus five degrees today.

Due to the weather, the plane was delayed and arrived at Jiangzhou Airport at around [-]:[-] pm.After Jiang Yunqi and the two of them wished each other a happy new year, they went to find the person who came to pick them up——

A Sui.

Ah Sui was a full five hours ahead of schedule.

Five hours ago, Jiang Yunqi was still waiting at the S city airport, when Ah Sui called.

"I'm at the airport." A Sui said.At first glance, it sounds like I'm flying to pick you up—even though I don't.There is a very plain meaning in one sentence.

Jiang Yunqi: "?"

A Sui: "Don't worry, just fly slowly." This time the tone was a little too flat, almost disillusioned.

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

Surrounded by passengers rushing home, Jiang Yunqi was flustered by Ah Sui's words: "What's wrong?"

Ah Sui leaned back in his chair and said dryly, "Huo Xiangshu said that his mother is coming—to see me."

Jiang Yunqi was stunned.

A Sui: "I was going to run overnight. Huo Xiangshu blocked me, and in the morning when he wasn't paying attention, I ran through the window."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

Thinking of something, Jiang Yunqi got angry: "That's the fifth floor!"

Ah Sui's tone was indifferent: "I have turned over the sixth floor. It's best to turn over the old residential buildings like them."

Jiang Yunqi didn't know what to say.

A Sui: "Didn't you say I have a room at home? Private bathroom?"

Jiang Yunqi: "...Yes."

Ah Sui nodded: "Thank you."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

The two drove back together.A Sui was a little silent, looking out the window with his head tilted.

The wilderness outside the airport expressway is sparse, and the fine snow falls on the car windows.There is a vast white mist in front of me, and at the end of the field of vision, the high-rise buildings in the city center are hidden in the twilight snow, and the atmosphere of the year has faded a lot.

When I got off the plane, I would report in the group, Wenwen was the first to reply, and then I probably went to every adult to inform, so the group was quiet afterwards.

Adults are very busy.

Last year, it was Pei Zhe's turn to celebrate the New Year at Pei Yue's house.

Aunt Song had already stocked up most of the ingredients a few days ago, and when Pei Zhe was resting at home, Aunt Song asked Pei Zhe to take care of it first, so as not to be too busy on New Year's Eve.Wencuo has been attending seminars in other places for half a month, and has no time to take care of his family.It happened that Aunt Song was too busy to take care of Wenyi, and Pei Yue couldn't get out of the provincial hospital, so the task of taking over Wenwen from the hobby class was given to Pei Zhe.

At the end of the new year, the busiest period of the foreign affairs department has ended, and the rest are all bits and pieces.After receiving the task, Pei Zhe drove to the "Little Genius of Tomorrow" and others next to the attached primary school.

When Wenwen came out, she didn't see Aunt Song who greeted her smilingly with snacks, or her mother who directed her to the front while chatting with the teacher, so she knew that the next step was to find the uncle's car.

Of course, Pei Zhe would find her first, then watch Wenwen walk over with her schoolbag on her back, open the car door and call for someone while climbing into the car.

Pei Zhe would ask her if her class was going well, and Wenwen would say it was going well, and sometimes she would say it was okay.After that, there was nothing to talk about.Pei Zhe would follow the instructions and send her to the provincial doctor Pei Yue's office or have dinner at his home and wait for Pei Yue to pick her up.

In the evening rush hour, there were long and short pauses, and the quiet atmosphere in the car seemed weird amidst the non-stop ringing outside the car.

Wenwen didn't know what to say to Pei Zhe, and Pei Zhe couldn't think of anything else to ask besides homework.At this time, Wenwen will send a message to Jiang Yunqi with a mournful face: "It's the uncle again..." and send a little hamster that fell to the ground.

A few seconds later, Jiang Yunqi: "Are you hungry? Let uncle take you to eat pizza."

Wenwen immediately sent a little hamster who shrank into a corner and dared not make a sound.

The next second, Pei Zhe's mobile phone received a message from Jiang Yunqi: "Wenwen must be hungry, take her to eat something."

Pei Zhe: "What to eat."

Jiang Yunqi: "Pizza. But you have to keep it secret when you go back."

Pei Zhe: "..."

Pei Zhe glanced at the rearview mirror. Wenwen was bored with her schoolbag in her hands and her phone in both hands. Her braids were drooping by her ears, her braids were loose, her hair was frizzy, her cheeks were rosy, and she was very cute.

The phone vibrated, Jiang Yunqi: "How are you?"

Pei Zhe smiled: "Okay."

I still have to eat for dinner, and I ordered a small portion of pizza.Wenwen was worried that she would be exposed if she came back late after eating at the restaurant, so she took it in the car to eat.As a result, the smell of hot and delicious food quickly covered up the previous silent atmosphere, and Wenwen didn't have to worry about anything anymore, just just concentrate on eating.

Gradually, when Pei Zhe came to pick up Wenwen, there was always something to eat in the back seat, a small portion of pizza, a small portion of cake and egg tart, one drove and the other ate happily, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

But this kind of frequency is still rare, even if Pei Zhe is not busy, he is busier than ordinary people.

Early this morning, he sent Aunt Song to Pei Yue to pick up the two young ones, and then went to the institute for a regular meeting. He didn't know when it would end.After finishing her shift at noon, Pei Yue came back and had a hasty lunch with Aunt Song and the two younger ones, and she has been busy until now.

It was just dark at five o'clock, and Wen Cuo sent a message saying that the high-speed train was off, and it would be six o'clock to get home.Wenwen is like the customer service of the family group, and replied in seconds: Received, Dad.

Jiang Yunqi, who was in the taxi, replied with an emoji of "Scattering Flowers for Celebration" and then turned to look at A Sui.

A Sui tilted his head and fell asleep.

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

But it's normal. I racked my brains all night, and after half a day of extreme exercise, it's no wonder I'm not tired.

This year's New Year's Eve is destined to be an unforgettable New Year's Eve.

Driving all the way into the urban area, the New Year's Eve atmosphere is obvious.The street lamps were already on, and the sidewalks on both sides were festively decorated.The car stopped at the intersection, and the next second when the green light for pedestrians passed, there was a turbulent crowd, and the two ends of the river crisscrossed. Everyone's face could not be seen clearly under the shining neon lights, but the visual experience they brought was similar.

Occasionally, you can hear the sound of clusters of fireworks flying into the air from the nearby suburbs, and when you look up, you can see the flourishing and dazzling flowers one after another.Pedestrians stopped and looked up one after another. The fiery trees and silver flowers exploded for a moment, making the air faintly red.

The two of them arrived home with Wencuo.

Aunt Song was not at all surprised by Ah Sui's arrival, and complained a bit: "I asked you this morning, why have you been silent all day? Where have you gone?"

Ah Sui fooled around with a smile, then turned his head and whispered to Jiang Yunqi: "Go downstairs in a hurry, the phone was left in the room."

Jiang Yunqi glanced at him: "You mean 'going downstairs'?"

Ah Sui shrugged, and before Jiang Yunqi finished speaking, he went to the living room to tease Wen Yi, who had been calling him since he saw him: "Do you miss brother? What English words have you learned recently, teach brother?"

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

Wen Cuo was amused: "Ah Sui is really patient." Then he asked Jiang Yunqi: "When will Pei Zhe come back?"

Jiang Yunqi turned around while pushing the suitcase towards the bedroom and said, "I didn't tell me, it seems to be very late..."

The kitchen door was pushed open, and the sound of vigorously stir-frying filled the whole room.

Pei Yue brought a plate of cut fruits to the table, and Wenwen followed behind, holding two oversized washed strawberries in both hands, took a bite of the left-handed one, and then walked towards Wenyi.

Pei Yue set it up and said, "Then let's eat first."

Jiang Yunqi nodded and went back to the house to pack his luggage.

Starting at seven o'clock, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers continued to be intense.

The dinner table was steaming, Jiang Yunqi and Wen Cuo talked about the spring game, when the phone vibrated suddenly.

The "Brother Pei, when are you coming back? Let's have dinner!" sent half an hour ago finally got a reply.

Pei Zhe: "5 minutes."

Jiang Yunqi stared at the phone, immediately stood up and announced: "Brother Pei is back!"

Wenwen raised her head and cheered with a drawn out voice: "Wow."

Aunt Song was feeding Wen Yi, when she saw someone running towards the door, she immediately frowned: "What are you doing out in the cold outside? Mr. Pei is such an adult that he doesn't know the way?"

Ah Sui held the bowl and chuckled.

Pei Yue smiled: "Go. If you keep it, you will be half-hearted."

Jiang Yunqi took down the feather hanging from the porch, turned his head and smiled at Aunt Song, and quickly opened the door and slipped away.

Aunt Song: "Really...if you catch a cold, whose fault is it?"

Wen Cuo didn't even think about it, he got up and poured wine into the cup reserved for Pei Zhe: "Pei Zhe's. Needless to say."

Pei Yue: "... pour less."

Snow particles under the day.As soon as I got out of the building, there was the sound of snow falling on the down feathers, which was very cute.

One foot and one depth.

Jiang Yunqi did not run out a few steps with his neckline curled up, and soon saw Pei Zhe standing with his back facing him not far away.

Two beams of extremely bright headlights shone directly on his body, making his shoulders wider and legs longer, and his figure was upright and straight.

Just as Jiang Yunqi was about to call for someone, he pursed his lips after thinking about it, leaned forward, and walked towards Pei Zhe with a bow.

The sound of stepping on the snow was quickly covered by the sound of nearby wind and distant fireworks.

One after another, bright fireworks bloomed one after another above the head.

When approaching, Jiang Yunqi made a sprint, jumped up and threw himself on Pei Zhe's back: "Brother Pei!"

Pei Zhe subconsciously stretched out his hand to support him.

At the same time, the car door slammed shut in the next second. Yu Chengan took the documents and handed them to Pei Zhe. He raised his head and stared at Jiang Yunqi who suddenly appeared on Pei Zhe's shoulder. The third-phase data flight control center in the morning—"

Jiang Yunqi hugged Pei Zhe's neck tightly, opened his mouth, and said awkwardly to Yu Chengan: "New, Happy New Year..."

Pei Zhe gave a low laugh.
