An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 82 What does this all mean?

Meng Youyou simply reached out and took the oil paper package, commenting, "Why do you carry a thermos with you every day? You look like an old cadre."

"If you don't keep it in a thermos in this weather, it will be freezing cold when you get out of bed."

He reached out and touched the back of Meng Youyou's hand; thankfully, it was still warm.

Meng Youyou retorted, "Then why is the pancake still hot?"

Huo Qingshan smiled, but didn't explain why, instead changing the subject: "Were you feeling unwell last night?"

Meng Youyou waved her hand and declared boldly, "I told you that little bit of rice wine can't do anything to me."

With plenty of time to spare, Meng Youyou finished her breakfast on the sofa in the lobby.

The two walked out of the hotel side by side. The cold winter wind hit them in the face, and Meng Youyou shivered and shrank her neck.

She took two steps back, curled up behind the man's broad body, and whispered, "You go first."

Huo Qingshan couldn't help but chuckle: "Using me as a shield?"

Meng Youyou's teeth chattered as she spoke: "Why is it so cold today?"

Huo Qingshan explained, "Around this time every year, the temperature suddenly drops and it gets a little cold for a while, but it doesn't last long."

He turned his head to look at Meng Youyou behind him, "This isn't a solution. Once we cross the road, the wind will blow from all directions."

"What should I do?"

The low, muffled sound, carried by the cold wind, drifted into Huo Qingshan's ears.

He smiled enigmatically, "I'll tuck you into my clothes so neither side will get chilled."

Surprisingly, there was a hint of mischief in his eyes.

Meng Youyou looked extremely disgusted and complained, "Don't you think this looks a lot like a father taking care of his daughter?"

Huo Qingshan was speechless: "..."

Suddenly, a warm sensation wrapped around the man's arm.

Meng Youyou wrapped her arms around Huo Qingshan's arm and looked up at him, saying, "It's better to have a short pain than a long one, Battalion Commander Huo, let's run!"

Her smile was radiant, and the bright light in her eyes and brows seemed capable of melting away the chill of winter. Huo Qingshan didn't know what had gotten into him; he actually started running with Meng Youyou.

And so, the two figures, one big and one small, ran side by side through the streets on a winter morning.

The withered leaves that had fallen from the bare branches drifted down onto the ground they had just stepped on, narrowly escaping their immediate fate of being crushed.

The cold wind hit my face harder, and soon all four ears were frozen red.

Two lunatics.

……

Huo Qingshan and Meng Youyou parted ways after entering the People's Government building, as their learning tasks for the day were not in the same meeting room.

Meng Youyou slipped in through the back door, stood at the back and scanned the entire room. She noticed an empty seat next to Shen Xi, which was probably reserved for her.

I walked over slowly and casually started a conversation: "Why do you also like to sit by the window?"

Shen Xi answered somewhat absentmindedly, "The lighting is good."

Only then did he slowly turn his gaze away from the window.

He looked at Meng Youyou deeply.

It seemed as if he had something to say, but after a long while he just smiled gently and didn't speak.

Meng Youyou sensed something was off, so she simply asked, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xi looked over again, her eyes still conveying a sense of unspoken difficulty and hesitation.

Meng Youyou cautiously leaned closer and whispered, "Let me tell you, don't you dare play out that cliché childhood sweetheart crush, wanting to confess but unable to say it! I'm not interested in you, so you'd better stop now, or we won't even be friends anymore."

His tone was playful, but his expression was quite serious.

Shen Xi stared in disbelief: "..."

Where is this going?
