Yici stepped down the old, snow-stained stairs, the sound of snow creaking under her feet, a calm sense of healing.

Winter nights always come in a hurry, just like old friends who have met with you for many years, every time they are extremely polite and wait in advance.

"I am back."

The man wrapped in a thick overcoat stretched out his hand towards Yici, and took her increasingly heavy schoolbag, the lower half of his face covered by the scarf seemed to be tsk.

"Sometimes I really admire your brain." Zhou Ji and Yici set foot on the path home, "It's outrageous that you can still get full marks in the exam with so many books in the third year of high school."

Zhou Ji turned around and said, "It's not a big problem to go to the capital next year. When the policy is relaxed next year, I will also go to the capital to develop."

"Oh." Yici didn't have the energy to speak, the cotton padded jacket she was wearing had been worn for several years, and it was constantly getting bigger and thicker, but it was still cold, "Are you leaving after the New Year?"

As the end of the year approached, their school had no plans for a holiday at all.

The caliber passed down is unusually uniform: Senior three, isn't vacation a waste of time?

Although she disagreed, she was unlucky to land in such a big province for the college entrance examination, and the whole province tried her best to pass the exam just to get two more points in the exam.

Zhou Ji paused, turned his head and glanced at Yici, seeing her with her head down, her hands in her pockets, her small body upright, the cotton shoes under her feet were glowing red, and the edges were wet, he couldn't help but worry.

"I'm leaving in the third day of junior high school, I've already bought a train ticket." Zhou Ji took off the scarf around his neck, and the cold wind poured into his neck, he couldn't help shivering, and put the scarf on Yici's body involuntarily.

The cashmere scarf was very large, and it looked bulky and strange when it was wrapped around her cotton coat.

Yici lowered her head, her body suddenly felt warm, and the cold woody fragrance spread from the tip of her nose. She raised her head subconsciously, and saw Zhou Ji was unbuttoning her coat.

"Brother, are you playing hooligans on the street?"

Of course she knew what he was thinking.

I can't bear to let her suffer from the cold.

But she doesn't need to.

"The road is difficult in winter, and it takes at least half an hour to get home. What if you freeze?" Zhou Ji comforted Yici, "I'm a big man, and I'm not afraid of the cold at all."

"Your ears are red." Yici gathered the thick scarf around her body, "If you are sick, what will happen to my college tuition next year? Besides, I left alone a few days ago, and I didn't freeze to death."

Zhou Ji's eyes overflowed with guilt and distress, and he didn't continue to take off his coat.

Back home, Zhang Ruying and Zhou Damu hurriedly welcomed them into the room.

Seeing Zhou Ji, the old couple were very happy, busy pouring him boiling water and heating rice, and pulling him to talk about the people and things in Shenzhen City.

Yici sat by the small stove, warming up quietly.

The three of them were chatting lively.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruying asked Zhou Ji mysteriously, "Did the boss meet a suitable one when he went to Shenzhen? You are not too young anymore, and it's time to discuss the important things in your life."

"That's right." Zhou Damu clapped his hands in agreement, "Our boss is capable, the money you sent over is saved for you at home, more than 3000, enough to marry a wife!"

"As the saying goes, start a family first and then start a career." Zhou Damu sighed, "The family is poor, but I asked you to start a career first. You should start a family this time!"

Yi Ci soaked up the warmth of the stove with both hands, and raised her eyes to look at Zhou Ji.

The original wheat-colored skin was much paler, the bridge of the nose was straight, the eyelashes were long and narrow, and the figure was slender with some elite demeanor.

A lot has changed.

From the style of rough men to the style of urban elites.

"Father, mother, I have no plans to start a family."

Zhou Ji lowered his head to warm himself by the fire, quietly waiting for the storm of the old couple.

as predicted.

Zhou Damu first expressed that he could not accept it, "How can a man not have a family? Do you want to be an old bachelor?"

"The family used to be poor and couldn't marry a wife, but now the family has money. If you don't marry a wife, are you crazy?"

"Father, don't say a few words." Zhang Ruying stopped Zhou Damu, "Boss, tell your parents why you don't have a family?"

Zhou Ji folded his hands together, "It's nothing, you are free if you don't get married."

"Since—" Zhou Damu was furious, and was about to yell, but was stopped by Zhang Ruying.

Zhang Ruying first waved to Yici, "You go back to your room and do your homework, you're already in the third year of high school, don't hurry up and go."

Yici stood up speechlessly and walked away from the 'battlefield'.

Back in her own room, Yici quickly lit up the stove, took off her shoes, and put them beside the stove to grill. The wet red cotton shoes emitted steam. She turned on the radio boredly, listening to the news that was not clear.

a long time.

It was so long that Yici fell asleep on the desk, until a warm coat covered her body.

Familiar taste.

Yici was already alert, even in peaceful times.

She opened her eyes suddenly, straightened up slowly, and looked at Zhou Ji standing beside her, "Brother."

Zhou Ji tightened her coat, "Sleepy? Go to bed, don't catch a cold."

"Oh." Yici stood up slowly, went to the bed and sat down, hung the coat on the shelf next to the closet, her face was as calm as winter, "What do you say, dad and mother?"

When the body is warmed up, there will naturally be more things to say.

"Of course I agree." Zhou Ji whispered, "Your brother and I, a business genius, will lose money if we don't do business. Things like starting a family will only delay the speed of my making money."

"..." Yici pulled her lips, "Read more if you have nothing to do."

Men can be self-abased and autistic, but they can't be too confident.

That night.

The sound of shallow breathing spread in the small space. The north wind howled outside the window and slapped on the window. It was a little frightening. The room was wrapped in cotton quilts, and the stove burned quietly.

A trace of desire burned by the day, spread wantonly in the night and the rampant wind.

"Xiaoci, what kind of man do you plan to find in the future?"

"The other party must be a college student, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't be worthy of you."

Zhou Ji's tone couldn't be heard, he opened his eyes and stared at the beams, the snow outside the window was very bright, so bright that Zhou Ji's unhappy expression could be seen.

Yici's slightly soft voice came out from under the quilt, "He is handsome, tall, and has a good figure."

"It doesn't matter if you are a college student or not, as long as you have money."

Her request is very low.

She just hopes that he can keep in good shape and make more money by the way.

In this era of scarcity, she really had enough.

Zhou Ji frowned even deeper. He felt that he had not treated her badly. How could she only pursue men like this?

"Zhou Yici, you can't go to school for nothing. After a few years, you will be the pillar of the country. How can you find a man who doesn't understand anything and is full of money for the sake of money?"

"..."

"Zhou Yici, speak up."

"..."

"Zhou Yici, labor and management went to Shenzhen to earn money to support you, you can't just find a wild man to spoil you just for money, right?"

"..."

"Zhou Yici, speak up."

Yici was annoyed by the noise, "I have an IQ, as long as the other party is good-looking, it doesn't matter if they don't have money."

Anyway, she will earn it herself.

This time Zhou Ji's brain is really not working.

She considered whether to take it or not, anyway, there was another one waiting for her.

Humans have a saying: Bye bye, bye bye, the next one will be better.
