The more you walk to the river, the stronger the festive atmosphere.

Also, the colder it is.

Because he came to the mall to attract attention, Si Sheng did not wear a warm military coat. Although he paid attention to keeping warm, the cold river wind was blowing and swaying, which was really a bit cold.

Look beside you again...

Ling Xize is worthy of being a man who leads the fashion trends of the health industry. He is dressed warm and graceful. He wears a long black jacket, but it looks thick and warm, without fear of the erosion of the cold wind and the baptism of ice and snow.

The arrogant steps are more stable than those around you.

After tightening the scarf, Si Sheng frowned and asked, "Are you cold?"

"fine."

Ling Xize responded and turned his head to look at her.

“…”

Si Sheng was tempted by his coat and kept the clothes sign in his heart.

Just as he was about to withdraw his sight, he heard him pulling the slow tone and said leisurely: "I don't have any clothes, I can give you one."

His eyes moved down, landed on his pocket, Si Sheng stayed for two seconds, and then moved away.

"You keep it for yourself." Si Sheng said, "We are a man in the martial arts world, and we are resistant to freezing."

Ling Xize glanced at her and said slowly: "Does it rely on integrity or thick skin?"

Si Sheng raised his eyebrows and squinted him provocatively, "Wow, you have to be fine with your mouth for a while, can you automatically sew it?"

Ling Xize: "That's a bit unscientific."

“…”

With his eyelids raised, Si Sheng stared at him silently, but he couldn't find any words to criticize him.

"The watch you brought..." Turning back, Ling Xize moved his eyes to the bag she carried, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Is it the birthday gift I chose for me?"

When he mentioned this, Si Sheng's eyelids suddenly hopped.

Subconsciously, my hand moved back. Although I stopped it in time, I couldn't resist the slight shaking of the bag, swinging it one by one, invisibly showing guilt.

Immediately, Si Sheng raised his eyes and met Ling Xize's exploration. He paused for two seconds and said lightly: "No."

Ling Xize, who was 90% sure, was surprised to hear the sound and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really?"

"Um."

Si Sheng nodded calmly.

In the choice of "putting the bag to him" and "not admitting that he can see through it", Si Sheng chose the latter without hesitation.

"oh."

Ling Xize's lowered voice has a unique meaning.

Si Sheng pretended not to hear it.

The eyes stopped not far away, outside the stone railings by the river, crowded scenes came into view, bustling, crowded, and open spaces were hard to find.

Another gust of river breeze blew on her face, wrapped in a cold wind like a knife, resting on her skin, piercing into the bone marrow with the texture. She was so cold that her head was cold.

"Watching fireworks, you don't have to be by the river." Si Sheng glanced at the time and suggested casually, "How about changing the place?"

Ling Xize looked at her quietly, with a faint smile rippling in her pupils, and in circles, the layers were clearly defined under the refraction of neon lights.

After a while, he smiled softly and nodded as if he was good.

"Um."

It's still half an hour away from zero.

The light was dim and the shadows overlapped. The narrow gap was enough for the two to stand face to face, staring at each other between a few fists.

This is the entrance to the wind shelter alley, and the river wind blows from the side. Occasionally, the floor drains slant, but it is not bad.

He brought the peeled chestnut into his mouth, Si Sheng leaned back against the wall, frowned and looked at Ling Xize, "You don't seem to be very happy?"

Ling Xize's eyes were unrecognizable and she sighed, "I shouldn't have hope for your eyes."

"What is your hope?"

Ling Xize spoke in a faint helpless voice: "Stand high and see far."

Si Sheng subconsciously raised his head and looked up at his head.

Through the narrow gap, you can see the dark night sky and you cannot see the stars and moons. Only when you are approaching occasionally can you reveal the snowflakes in the dim and dim light.

From the corner of my eyes, I could see a corner of the tall building, a touch of gray, standing in the bright lights of the city, tall but cold, with less human touch.

However, the vision is indeed good.

After a while, Si Sheng grabbed a handful of candy-fried chestnuts from the paper bag in his pocket, clenched his fists and stretched it towards Ling Xize.

Ling Xize frowned strangely, but subconsciously spread his palms.

With his fingers opened, Si Sheng put the candy and fried chestnuts in his hand and said, "Eat it. When you finish eating, the time will be almost done."

With a surprise eyebrow, Ling Xize looked around. Although the cramped alley was cleaned up, it had a damp and old smell. A trash can stood not far away, which was very annoying.

"Eat here?" Ling Xize was simply incredible.

"Or what if I book a seat for you in a high-rise building?"

The sincere words and the sarcastic tone.

“…”

Ling Xize didn't say anything and stared at Si Sheng silently.

However, Si Sheng did not meet him, pulled the hem of his clothes, then squatted down with the bag, and sat directly on the bluestone steps leading to the residence.

Peel a chestnut and throw it into his mouth. Si Sheng hooked his fingers to the plastic bag handle that was put on the paper bag and opened his mouth slowly, "Let's just make a quick set. If you are not happy, you can leave at any time."

Before he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly fell down, and the bag on his finger was pulled away.

She raised her eyes.

Ling Xize pulled out the paper bag, emptied a plastic bag, threw the chestnut shell inside, then walked to her side, and sat down on the cold stone steps.

Turning his head to see him, Si Sheng threw the chestnut shell into the bag, frowned and said, "Do you think..."

"Um?"

Ling Xize gave her the two peeled chestnuts.

After thinking for a while, Si Sheng said strangely: "This picture looks a bit familiar?"

After peeling off another chestnut, Ling Xize paused for two seconds and nodded: "It's almost the same as the day you are preparing to run to the road of no return of illegal and criminal acts."

Si Sheng hissed with sour teeth, "You are so owed to speak, why haven't you been beaten to death yet?"

"Isn't you covered?" Ling Xize asked for help.

“…”

Si Sheng choked by him.

After Ling Xize reminded him, Si Sheng really remembered that.

The year she met Ling Xize, she helped the police squat in a small alley. At that time, Ling Xize passed by in the middle of the night and was surprised to see her. After learning the causes and consequences, she squatted with her for the middle of the night until dawn.

The spring breeze was chilly at that time, almost cold as it is now. The two of them froze into a human-shaped popsicle, drinking the northwest wind like a fool, staring at them with big eyes.

Cover him...

I really said this.

"I did good deeds and acted bravely at that time, so why did I run to the road of no return?" Si Sheng was puzzled.

After a leisurely glance at her, Ling Xize slowly threw out a sentence, "Without me pulling you, you can turn bravery into excessive murder."

“…”

Si Sheng was speechless and wanted to rub his face, but found that his fingers were black and so he gave up.

Ling Xize handed over a pack of wet tissues at the right time.

Take it, take out a wet tissue, Si Sheng wipes his fingers one by one. At this time, he suddenly listens to Ling Xize's question-

"Do you have something to be overwhelmed?"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

I'm ashamed, let's explain the driver's joke in detail.

【1】

When he was in the hospital, the third master wanted to send Si Sheng to the crew. The driver was still there at that time, and Si Sheng had a "one-time relationship" with the driver.

【2】

Then Si Sheng met the third master by chance at the elevator and became suspicious. Later, Grandpa Lu knocked on the door and explained to Si Sheng: The driver resigned, and the third master lived in Shuiyunjian and was close to the company, so he moved here.

With this explanation, Si Sheng suspected that he might have really wronged the Third Master, so he agreed to invite the Third Master to dinner.

【3】

Finally, Si Sheng met the third master on a blind date downstairs.

In fact, the driver was sent to the Ling family by the third master. After Si Sheng met the driver, he felt familiar, so he tentatively said that the driver's response was confirmed and he had met Si Sheng.

Therefore, the reason for "the driver resigns" is not valid.

In other words, Si Sheng realized that he had been in the third master's routine. She also guessed through this initial lie.

Do you understand?
