Chapter 32 The Incident on the Eve of the Wedding(1/2)
The scenery outside the window flew by quickly, and Xia Tian didn't have time to see it clearly. After sighing softly, he sighed that this was just like his own life. He was moving forward quickly, but it was white and colorless. When he wanted to focus on something, it was already there.
It became a thing of the past in the blink of an eye.
"When you get to the place, you can have a good look at the snow." Chengze said, standing next to Xia Tian, looking at the blurry scenery outside the car window.
"I've only seen it in TV dramas. It's white with snow and the sky and the earth are the same color. Not to mention how beautiful it is." Jin Yan sat diagonally across from them, wearing a down jacket with Zhang Fei.
"It can reach minus 30 degrees Celsius outside. How can it be so beautiful? I heard that drunkards freeze to death from time to time." Cheng Xiaolan stood next to Zhang Fei. From the moment she got in the car, she didn't stop complaining, "Why do we have to do this in winter?"
Getting married? Doesn’t the bride want to wear a beautiful wedding dress?”
"They held a Chinese-style wedding, and the wedding clothes were all made by Miaomiao herself," Zhang Fei said.
"Fengguanxiapei?" Xia Tian asked.
"I've seen photos, it looks like the wedding clothes worn by wealthy families in ancient times when they got married, and the cloaks are also very gorgeous." Chengze replied.
"Then we should get married on Chinese Valentine's Day. Why did we choose Christmas? Could it be that we got pregnant before we got married?" Cheng Xiaolan said.
"Oh, you have such a poisonous mouth." Jin Yan glared at her sideways.
"Catch the train before dawn, Dafei, I'm cold and hungry now." Cheng Xiaolan said coquettishly.
"Do you want me to buy food?" Da Fei asked.
"You go buy your own food, why are you ordering my man around?" Jin Yan said dissatisfied.
"I've always been taken care of by him and I'm used to it. Besides, Da Fei won't neglect me just because he has a girlfriend, right Da Fei?" Cheng Xiaolan asked proudly.
"Which car is the restaurant in?" Zhang Fei stood up.
"Let's buy it and eat it. It's so cold that I don't want to move." Cheng Xiaolan said.
"You are really obedient, sit down for me." Jin Yan tried to pull him back.
"I'm also afraid that you're hungry." Zhang Fei explained and went to the restaurant.
"I hope we don't just have lunch boxes," Cheng Xiaolan said.
Jin Yan took out a box of milk and handed it to Xia Tian, saying: "Sister Tian'er, here is the milk for you."
Chengze stretched out his hand to help Xia Tian take it.
Xia Tian held the milk in her arms and asked Cheng Ze: "What time will it arrive?"
Chengze said: "It's around 1 p.m., are you hungry?"
Xia Tian said: "It's okay."
After a while, Zhang Fei came back with a stack of lunch boxes.
Cheng Xiaolan frowned at the lunch box and said dissatisfied: "Oh, no."
Jin Yan gave her a fierce look and thought, why are you following? Then she said to Xia Tian and Cheng Ze: "There is no one across from us, so you can come over and eat."
Zhang Fei spread the food bags on the seats and distributed rice to them one by one.
"The rice and vegetables are packed separately, so it's convenient for us to eat. Come over here quickly."
Cheng Xiaolan looked at the simple shared meal with disgust, and barely ate a few mouthfuls, not forgetting to complain about them: "Is there nothing else? And Aze, why didn't you buy a ticket next to me?"
Zhang Fei explained: "He only bought his and Xia Tian's tickets. I bought the tickets for the three of us."
Cheng Xiaolan muttered: "Tsk, I'm really drunk."
After everyone had eaten, Zhang Fei took the initiative to clean up and bought hot drinks for several people.
My stomach felt warm and everyone felt a lot more energetic.
Xia Tian transferred the money for lunch boxes and hot drinks to Zhang Fei.
After Zhang Fei saw the red envelope, he said helplessly: "Xia Tian, you are too polite. How can friends calculate so clearly?"
Jin Yan stretched her neck to glance at the red envelope and curled her lips: "This is your cousin-in-law, why should you be polite to him?"
Xia Tian said: "The person holding the hand is short-handed."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "It's just a box of lunch. Don't be so clear next time. It will look very awkward."
Xia Tian thought to herself, it's better to figure things out more clearly. If it wasn't for the fact that Chengze caught Miaomiao's birthday gift before and caught her by the pigtails, she could be reviewing quietly in the library now.
She later went to the official website to check and found out that the set of Hanfu that Miaomiao gave her on her birthday was a limited edition and was now out of print, and the price was now very high.
After taking two sets of Hanfu, she couldn't help but give her blessings. What's more, she wanted to take this opportunity to go to the north and have a look.
Although there was warm air blowing in the carriage, as we got closer and closer to our destination, everyone still clearly felt the chill.
Jin Yan and Zhang Fei cuddled up closely to watch short videos. When they saw something particularly funny, Jin Yan would laugh so loudly that Cheng Xiaolan would roll her eyes.
Xia Tian wrapped her down jacket tightly and closed her eyes to rest. The shaking of the train accelerated her sleepiness. Jin Yan's laughter seemed to be getting farther and farther away. After a while, Xia Tian lowered her head and fell on Chengze's shoulder.
Chengze's heart skipped a beat, he held Xia Tian in his arms and motioned to Jin Yan to keep her voice down.
Jin Yan stuck out her tongue and did not dare to laugh too loudly.
I don't know how long I slept, until a cold wind rushed into the car, and Xia Tian opened his eyes.
Finding himself nestled in Chengze's arms, he immediately sat upright.
"Why didn't you wake me up? Are you here?" Xia Tian saw that Zhang Fei and the others had already put on thick down jackets and started packing their luggage.
"Here we are, I planned to let you sleep for one more minute." Chengze said, "Quickly put on your clothes and put on your hat."
This air-conditioning instantly woke Xia Tian up, he quickly put on his down jacket, and then began to pack his belongings into his bag.
"It's better to put your cell phone in the inner pocket of your down jacket," Chengze reminded her.
"good."
The group of people got off the bus and followed the flow of people out of the station.
The snow has been falling for two days and it hasn't stopped yet, falling like catkins in spring.
"So... beautiful... I'm freezing to death..." Jin Yan shivered and looked up at the falling snowflakes.
"Aren't you wearing any velvet pants?" Da Fei asked, staring at Jin Yan's legs.
"The legs... are thick... they don't look good..." Jin Yan looked at Xia Tian, her eyes full of envy.
The down jacket she wears in summer is a mid-length one that already covers her knees. She wears a pair of mid-length boots. The hat was put on by Chengze himself. A circle of fur protects her forehead, and a long scarf covers her mouth.
She doesn't look cold at all.
"Look at how obedient Xia Tian is. How good are you? I have to buy a short down jacket, and I won't wear the down pants I bought for you." Zhang Fei took off his down jacket and wrapped it around Jin Yan's legs.
"How did I know it would be so cold? Put your clothes on quickly." Jin Yan forced Zhang Fei to put on his down jacket, "Where are we going next? Can we take a taxi?"
Chengze said: "I made a reservation in advance and just made a phone call. There are too many cars to pass. We are parked in front of the hotel diagonally opposite. The driver asked us to walk over."
Cheng Xiaolan was also shivering from the cold. She brushed the snow off her head and said, "There are so many cars coming and going, how are we going to get there?"
Chengze grabbed her arm and held Xia Tian with the other hand, saying: "Go underground, Da Fei will follow."
The temperature in the underground shopping mall is different from that outside. Before it warms up, I have already left the shopping mall.
"The steps are slippery, senior sister, be careful." Chengze held Xia Tian tightly.
"You can't fit in one car, right?" Jin Yan asked.
"The business car I booked was a black one," Cheng Ze said.
Several people quickly got into the car and the car drove slowly to the destination.
The car was surrounded by heat. After about ten minutes, Jin Yan unzipped her down jacket.
"It can be so cold in the north. I thought she was lying when she said it could freeze people to death at night. Oh my God." Jin Yan said while looking out the car window.
The passing vehicles drive very slowly, and from time to time a snow clearing truck rumbles by.
The green belts on both sides were filled with snow, with only a little green exposed by the tall pine trees.
Zhang Fei took off his down jacket and covered Jin Yan's legs, and said: "When you get to the place, just stay in the house. I will go to the store to buy you a pair of thick velvet pants. You must wear them."
Jin Yan said: "I know, let's not cover it for now. It's so hot in the car. Is it as warm as where we live?"
Zhang Fei said: "Of course, every house here has heating, and the room is very hot."
Jin Yan patted her chest and said reassuringly: "That's good. The snow is so beautiful. It's my first time to be so close to the snow. Sister Tian'er, have you looked at the snow outside the window?"
Xia Tian said absently: "Look."
Chengze thought that Xia Tian was dissatisfied with him for bringing her here to attend the wedding on the pretext of repaying a favor, so he kept a cold face all the way, but he didn't know that at this time, all she could think about was Xia Xi. Would his dearest second brother hide in such a cold place?
A place where a person lives secretly.
Due to the thick snow on the road, the driver took nearly 2 hours to reach the destination in what was originally a 40-minute drive.
The sky has darkened.
After the car entered the community, Jin Yan couldn't help but let out a "wow". The trees on both sides of the main road were covered with colorful lanterns. There were branch roads branching off at some distance, leading to the buildings with a strong European style.
villa.
There is a Christmas tree at the door of each villa, and Christmas wreaths are hung on the door. The swings and slides in the courtyard are covered with snow, and there are even elk in some courtyards.
