The heater was turned on in the car, which was extremely warm. However, when he opened the door and got out of the car, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit his face, and Zu Qi shivered unexpectedly.
So cold!
Zu Qi quickly tightened his down jacket and wrapped himself into a rice dumpling. As soon as he took two steps, he suddenly felt that the cold wind blowing from behind seemed to be blocked by something.
Zu Qi subconsciously turned around and ran into a pair of deep black eyes that were half closed.
“Sorry, I originally wanted to pick you up from the hospital, but something happened at the company and I came back late.” Xue Jue’s cold voice sounded in Zu Qi’s ears along with the sound of wind.
Zu Qi’s eyes were fixed on Xue Jue’s indifferent face for a moment, and then fell on Xue Jue’s hand holding the umbrella handle. He slowly moved it up and saw a black umbrella propped above his head, just blocking the falling snowflakes.
Zu Qi rubbed his nose awkwardly: “Oh, it’s okay.” The path covered in snow was still a bit slippery.
Zu Qi and Xue Jue were walking side by side. Xue Jue had turned his umbrella towards him, but a lot of snowflakes still fell on his hair and shoulders, which turned into water and soaked into his clothes.
Zu Qi raised his head and glanced at the tightly covered umbrella above, hesitating to ask Xue Jue to take the umbrella over.
Unexpectedly, before the words were spoken, Zu Qi’s feet suddenly slipped, and then he fell straight forward.
“F*ck!”
Zu Qi cursed subconsciously. Before his mind could react, his hands waving randomly were already reflexively trying to grab Xue Jue’s arm beside him.
But when his fingertips touched Xue Jue’s clothes, he suddenly remembered that he would drag Xue Jue down with him, so he took it back as if he was electrocuted.
In just a few seconds, Zu Qi’s mind seemed to go back and forth dozens of times, and finally he resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes.
It’s over, it’s over…
It hurt just thinking about hitting the hard stone floor.
However, the expected pain did not come. A big hand suddenly grabbed Zu Qi’s arm, and then with some force, Zu Qi, who was originally leaning forward, was pulled into a warm embrace.
Xue Jue let go of Zu Qi’s arm, and put his arm around Zu Qi’s waist, almost whispering into his ear: “Be careful, the ground is slippery.”
Zu Qi leaned on Xue Jue in shock for a long time, then he gasped and came back to his senses, and hurriedly stood up straight and increased the distance between him and Xue Jue.
“Thank you.” Zu Qi said.
Xue Jue lowered his eyes and stared at Zu Qi’s face, which was blown pale by the cold wind, then looked at the distance between them calmly, and pursed the corners of his mouth slightly.
“Let me help you walk.”
Zu Qi did not notice Xue Jue’s abnormality, so he waved his hand politely and said: “No, no, no, no, I can just walk by myself. I will be careful.”
After that, Zu Qi turned around and kept walking forward.
Xue Jue followed closely, holding an umbrella, but before walking a certain distance, he suddenly caught up with Zu Qi’s pace in three steps, and then raised his hand to wrap his arms around Zu Qi’s shoulders.
Zu Qi paused in his heart and wanted to break away from Xue Jue’s hold. But after thinking about it, he pretended to move forward as if nothing had happened.
Weng Yuxiang was already holding Xue Wanwan and sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for them. Before Zu Qi could get closer, he heard the boy’s loud and clear tenor cry, one after another.
Weng Yuxiang coaxed him for a while, but to no avail. Then she suddenly became as decadent as an eggplant beaten by frost.
Seeing the figures of Zu Qi and Xue Jue, Weng Yuxiang’s eyes lit up, as if she had seen her saviors. She quickly got up and walked over: “Hey, you guys are back. The little ancestor keeps crying, and I can’t do anything to him.”
Xue Jue took Xue Wanwan into his arms naturally and asked smoothly: “Has he been fed?”
“He has already been fed and the diapers have been replaced with new ones.” Weng Yuxiang replied, then she watched helplessly as after being gently coaxed, Xue Wanwan who was held in Xue Jue’s arms, gradually stopped crying. She was surprised and sad at the same time, “This kid is still clinging to his father.”
Zu Qi had long been accustomed to it. Taking advantage of the gap between Weng Yuxiang and Xue Jue’s chat, he returned to the bedroom and changed into light clothes, after all the heating was always on at home, so there was no need to wear too thick clothes.
When Zu Qi changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom, he saw Xue Jue standing outside holding Xue Wanwan, who was already sleeping.
Xue Jue’s coat was mostly soaked by snow water, and there was a chill all over his body. In order not to infect Xue Wanwan, he had stretched out his hand and was lifting Xue Wanwan into the air.
Zu Qi chuckled, feeling that Xue Jue’s actions were very funny for no reason.
Xue Jue’s face was cold and he pursed his lips uncomfortably. He seemed to have guessed what Zu Qi was laughing at, and subconsciously moved his hands back a little, but quickly brought Xue Wanwan to Zu Qi again.
“You hold him while I take a shower.”
Zu Qi carefully took over Xue Wanwan, who was wearing a thick cotton coat.
The little guy seemed to feel Zu Qi’s movements and opened his bright grape eyes slightly. He blinked and looked at Zu Qi for a while, then suddenly grinned.
“Eh-ah-“
Xue Wanwan tried to reach out and touch Zu Qi’s face, but unfortunately his little fist could not stretch out and could only touch Zu Qi’s chin slightly.
“My little Wanwan.” Zu Qi narrowed his eyes and smiled. He didn’t even realize that his voice was so soft that it could drip water.
Xue Wanwan seemed very happy and kept giggling, waving his two chubby hands towards Zu Qi.
Zu Qi lowered his head and touched Xue Wanwan’s hat gently with the tip of his nose. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to raise his head, the naughty little guy grabbed his nose.
Zu Qi: “…”
You can open your hands when making trouble.
Or was he no longer his biological son?!
Xue Wanwan grabbed Zu Qi’s nose with both hands and pinched it like a rubber, smiling even more happily than before.
Zu Qi paused stiffly and wanted to pry Xue Wanwan’s little hand away, but the brat didn’t know where he got the strength and was squeezing it very tightly.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Xue Jue watching the fun without having any intention of helping him. Zu Qi’s heart was churning, and he suppressed his anger and shouted: “Xue Jue, what are you looking at! Why don’t you come to help!”
Now it was Xue Jue’s turn to gasp. Then a laugh broke out, and the clear laughter echoed in the quiet corridor, rushing to get into Zu Qi’s ears.
“Xue Jue!” Zu Qi was so angry that his face turned green, and he wished he could jump up on the spot and beat Xue Jue violently.
“Okay, okay…” Xue Jue’s compromising tone seemed to be coaxing a child. He stepped forward and soon freed Zu Qi’s nose from Xue Wanwan’s clutches.
