Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 220 Two beauties came to the door together.

"Come in, don't freeze."

Xu Jichang focused on Zhou Qingyu and invited her into the room.

"Come, sit down and have a drink of hot water."

When Zhou Qingyu entered the room, Xu Jichang held a thermos in his hand and said with his back to her, "It's late at night, what do you want?"

"fine……"

Zhou Qingyu lowered her voice, shook her head and said, then looked around nervously, "You won't be able to hear what you say in this room from outside, right?"

What does it mean to hide something hidden? This is it.

As soon as I said it was okay, I asked if the soundproofing of the room was good...

Even a fool can guess her purpose!
"Don't worry, the wall is thick. And it's late at night, and there's no one around."

"Say what you want."

Xu Jichang sat down on the chair and said in a relaxed tone.

As soon as he relaxed, it was Zhou Qingyu's turn to become nervous.

"Then...it's actually nothing. I'm afraid that you will be on duty alone and no one will talk to you, so I came here to talk to you."

She chose to use a lame excuse as a conversation starter.

"Oh, do you still want to ask me if I have a partner?"

Xu Jichang didn't hesitate much and asked straightforwardly.

Zhou Qingyu admitted sheepishly: "Isn't that why I didn't ask... before?"

"I have a partner."

Xu Jichang said generously and naturally, "That's Comrade Du Xiaojing, the chief of the Heavy Security Section of the Security Department."

"You came to our factory to help work. You haven't heard about it yet. But it doesn't matter. You will know it as time goes by."

Xu Jichang's tone was very calm when he spoke, but Zhou Qingyu's beautiful eyes widened in shock: What, he has a partner?
Then... wouldn't that be me?
Xu Jichang saw Zhou Qingyu's bewildered look and immediately smiled: "What's wrong, Qingyu?"

"I said I had a partner, why did you react so hard?"

"This, this..."

Zhou Qingyu stammered, not knowing how to answer Xu Jichang.

Zhou Qingyu liked Xu Jichang, especially after today's incident, as soon as she closed her eyes, all she could think of was him.

Otherwise, she would not come to Xu Jichang in the middle of the night.

As a result, Xu Jichang now told her that he had a partner, which was really huge bad news for Zhou Qingyu.

"Did you fall in love with me that's why you're like this?"

Xu Jichang didn't give Zhou Qingyu a chance to think. He grabbed her hand and pursued her, "Are you feeling particularly surprised?"

Zhou Qingyu was so embarrassed that she tried to pull her hand back but failed, so she had to let Xu Jichang hold it and nodded shyly: "Yes..."

"I thought you were single."

"Oh. Now that I tell you that I have someone, you will be ready to let me go, right?"

"Ah... how about that?"

Zhou Qingyu looked at Xu Jichang with a puzzled expression.

Otherwise, what else can be done?

Can one person still date two people at the same time?

"Do you think so yourself, or do you think it should be like this because someone else told you this?"

Under the incandescent light, Xu Jichang stared at Zhou Qingyu's beautiful eyes and asked unhurriedly.

Uh……

This question really stumped Zhou Qingyu.

Like most people, the education she received since childhood was not to interfere in other people's feelings. That is wrong.

But really putting it on herself, she really couldn't bear to meet a man like Xu Jichang...

Whether it was Xu Jichang's achievements and status at a young age, or his powerful performance in handling the fight today, they all left a deep mark on Zhou Qingyu's heart.

If you give up, you really have to make some determination.

Xu Jichang saw Zhou Qingyu's hesitation, let go of her hand, stood up and pointed to the office door amidst her surprise: "Forget it, if you don't understand, you don't have to think hard."

"Go back to the guest house quickly, before the people in your design institute get suspicious."

"Uh, okay."

Zhou Qingyu was reminded by Xu Jichang and suddenly realized that if he didn't go back for a long time at night, it might cause some discussion.

So she stood up and turned around to face the door, but she couldn't bear to leave.

She always felt that if she went back now, she might not have many opportunities to meet Xu Jichang alone in the future.

Sure enough, still reluctant.

Xu Jichang read Zhou Qingyu's thoughts from her body language, so he stood up and said, "Why, is there anything else you want to say?"

"No, nothing."

Zhou Qingyu shook her head guiltily and said in a tone that concealed the truth.

Xu Jichen was no longer polite, he stepped forward and put his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear: "Go back and think about it."

Zhou Qingyu's pretty face suddenly turned red. She tried to push Xu Jichang's hand away several times but failed, so she had no choice but to let him hold her.

"I...I'll think about it."

Zhou Qingyu said hurriedly, her body went limp and she lay in Xu Jichang's arms.

Xu Jichang pressed forward and kissed her twice on the cheek before letting her go: "Go back quickly."

"Remember to think of a good reason for going back late so that you can explain it easily if you bump into someone."

"Yeah... I see."

Zhou Qingyu said with some difficulty in breathing, and was escorted out of the office door by Xu Jichang.

The night was deep and the surroundings were quiet.

Except for the occasional howling north wind, there was no movement in the entire factory area, and not a single person could be seen.

Even so, Zhou Qingyu still felt very guilty. After looking around to make sure that no one was there, she dared to walk out quietly, not daring to make any sound.

Zhou Qingyu's mind was in chaos. The answer Xu Jichang gave her today and his subsequent behavior were completely beyond her expectations.

She still needs some time to digest now.

What should I do? Xu Jichang obviously has a partner, but he still dares to hug and kiss him.

But I still feel that...it feels quite comfortable when being kissed by him...

Are you born to be a bad person? How can you feel like that?
Zhou Qingyu's mind was in chaos, and she fell into a deep sense of guilt.

"Ouch!"

It wasn't until she was about to reach the guest house and almost tripped over a stone that Zhou Qingyu came back to her senses and freed herself from her thoughts.

Only then did she think that Xu Jichang had just reminded herself to think of a good reason for going out at night.

What's the good reason?

Just say that you can't let go and go to see the construction site!
Zhou Qingyu thought hurriedly, and quickly walked into the guest house regardless of whether the reason was reasonable or not.

The Dongfang Fertilizer Factory Guest House has a relatively new structure at present. The large front counter is integrated, unlike most guest houses which only have a small table.

The stairs are also made of cement, not wooden structures like many guest houses.

Zhou Qingyu quickly walked up to his floor. As soon as he turned the corner, he met Xia Yingxue who was carrying a thermos and filling the hot water.

Zhou Qingyu wanted to speed up and walk over, but was still caught by Xia Yingxue.

"Hey Qingyu, where did you go so late at night?"

Xia Yingxue asked casually.She was not particularly concerned about Zhou Qingyu's whereabouts, but as the director of the entire project, she needed to be responsible for the members.

Zhou Qingyu lives in a girl's house and runs out at night. What if something happens to her?

Zhou Qingyu felt excited when she asked: "Ah, it's nothing. I was just worried about the construction site, so I ran to take a look."

"Well, then you are really responsible."

Xia Yingxue thought happily.

Seeing that she didn't say anything else, Zhou Qingyu quickly walked back to her room.

At this time, Xia Yingxue also finished receiving the hot water and returned to her room with the thermos, when she suddenly felt something was wrong.

For some reason, she now felt that Zhou Qingyu's behavior just now was a little abnormal.

If we really wanted to look into the problem in detail, she couldn't tell what the problem was...

Thinking of this, Xia Yingxue sighed slightly: She couldn't go and ask Zhou Qingyu what he was doing now.

I could only pray in my heart that she wouldn't do anything outrageous.

……

Early the next morning, the construction project started as usual, and the workers began to do their own work according to their division of labor.

Some of these people were brought here from the Railway Design Institute, and some from within the Oriental Fertilizer Factory came to help.

Normally, it is inevitable for so many young and strong workers to have some minor quarrels over work.

But with the lessons learned yesterday, the workers controlled their tempers very well today. Even if there was a conflict, they were very restrained in speaking to each other. There were no quarrels, let alone fights.

As the project director, Xia Yingxue saw all this and was very moved by Xu Jichang, and at the same time she was impressed by his ability.

"Snowing."

As everyone was working, I don’t know who shouted first.

Xia Yingxue, Zhou Qingyu, and the other cadres and workers present raised their heads and saw sparse snowflakes floating in the sky.

"Work harder and wait until the snow gets heavy before evacuating."

Xia Yingxue shouted at the top of her voice to the cadres and workers present.

This is the case in the Northeast. The working time in the year is short and the frost period is long.

If you don't hurry up and do more today, then the work will flow to the back.

When it gets really cold, the land will become hard and hard, and then it will be really impossible to work.

The construction workers also understood this truth and invariably speeded up their work.

The weather is also beautiful. Although it started to snow, it was not very heavy until after lunch. It really turned into heavy snow after lunch.

Xia Yingxue then directed everyone to move and store all the working tools and materials, and then sent the group home.

The current progress of the entire construction project is pretty good. Although it was interrupted due to snow today, it is still much faster than the scheduled progress.

Once the snow melts and we work harder for a few more days, the entire project will be completed.

Thinking of this, Xia Yingxue felt happy and melancholy at the same time.

She was happy that the progress of the project exceeded expectations, but she was sad that the completion of the project would mean returning to the provincial capital, so she and Xu Jichang would not have the chance to meet.

Xia Yingxue sighed silently in her heart, and returned to the guest house with Zhou Qingyu. Back to her room, she sat on the edge of the bed and stared out the window in a daze.

This is the disadvantage of working in other places. There are no acquaintances, only colleagues.

It's okay when I'm busy at work, but once I'm free, it's really boring.

Alas, it would be great if Xu Jichang was by his side.

When two people are together, they will definitely have endless things to talk about, and they will definitely not be so lonely.

Xia Yingxue thought to herself, her thoughts spreading to far, far away places.

"Tuk Tuk."

After an unknown amount of time, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Who?"

Xia Yingxue stood up and stepped forward to open the door.

"My, Xia Gong, I'm so cold to death."

Zhou Qingyu's voice came from outside the door.

Xia Yingxue stepped forward and opened the door: "What's wrong? Didn't you turn on the stove?"

"It's up, but it's still cold."

Outside the door, Zhou Qingyu crossed her arms and complained, "Aren't you cold?"

hiss……

When Xia Yingxue was asked this question by Zhou Qingyu, she couldn't help but froze, and then she felt that she was actually quite cold...

Heating was not yet popular these days, and building materials were in short supply and the floor slabs were very thin, not to mention the insulation layers that were only available in later generations, so it was basically unbearable cold in winter.

For example, the workers who live in the staff dormitories are okay. At least there are so many people there that the room won't get cold.

But cadres and technicians like them live in one room, which makes it difficult for them.

Especially the two women, whose firepower is not as strong as the men, so being frozen like this is really hard to live by.

"What can we do? It's not even night yet and it's already freezing like this."

Zhou Qingyu continued to complain, "We have to find a way."

In front of her, Xia Yingxue frowned and thought, and finally said something out of nowhere: "Let's go to Xu Jichang's house to warm up."

"I saw he had a fireplace in his house."

what?
Go to Xu Jichang's house?

Zhou Qingyu never thought that he could do this, let alone that these words would come out of Xia Yingxue's mouth, and her beautiful eyes immediately widened.

"Then let's go quickly."

When she was hissing from the cold, she couldn't think about it any longer and responded immediately.

Later generations often say that the cold in the north is a physical attack, and the cold in the south is a magical attack. That is under the premise that there is heating.

Without the heating, the cold in the north is so cold that people just want to find a warm place.

After discussing the plan, the two took an umbrella from Xia Ying's snow house and left the guest house.

On the way to Xu Jichang's home, Xia Yingxue thought for a while and felt that she should report to him later, hoping that Dongfang Fertilizer Factory could provide more briquettes.

In this way, their construction workers can at least stay warm and avoid falling into the predicament they are in today.

In the snow, Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu made a creaking sound on the ground, and it took a long time before they arrived at the gate of Xu Jichang's house.

It just so happened that Xu Jichang had left work early because of the heavy snow and was pushing his bicycle towards the courtyard.

"Director Xu, you're home."

Xia Yingxue greeted him from a distance.

"Yeah, it's too cold today, so the factory sent everyone back early."

Xu Jichang looked at her and Zhou Qingyu and said, "Let's go into the room and talk if we have anything to do."

Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu quickly quickened their pace to catch up, and entered the yard with Xu Jichang.

"Oh, I'm here to warm myself by the fire. Welcome."

When entering the house, Xu Jichang heard the two people's intention and immediately said.

Haha, the cold weather is good...

Two beautiful technicians from the design institute came directly to the door in pairs.

"Thank you, I'm grateful to you today."

Xia Yingxue didn't know what Xu Jichang was thinking, but she still said gratefully.
