Withered Broken Ice Blue

As night falls, the lights of the city shine like stars. The flashing neon lights outline the contours of the tall buildings, and the lights of the vehicles flow on the road like colorful ribbons.

Jiang Huaixu sat in the back seat, staring intently at the time on his mobile phone. Chi Feiwan sat next to him, and a subtle silence permeated between the two of them.

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat depressing, as if one could hear each other's breathing. Chi Feiwan leaned quietly on the seat, staring at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding.

The lights on both sides of the street flickered, casting their blurry shadows.

Time passed minute by minute, and the car slowly drove into the residential area where Chi Feiwan lived.

"Thank you for sending me back." Chi Feiwan said softly, breaking the long silence.

She reached out and grasped the door handle, and pushed it gently, and the door opened. Just as she was about to step out, a warm big hand suddenly reached out and tightly grasped her wrist.

"My coat is still at yours." His voice was as mellow as wine, with a barely perceptible hoarseness.

Chi Feiwan was slightly stunned, then he remembered that his clothes were put into a black plastic bag, and the coat on his body was Jiang Huaixu's.

She looked down at the black coat she was wearing, and the aura of Jiang Huaixu had faded.

Jiang Huaixu's eyes fell on Chi Feiwan's slender waist again, "You seem to need a coat more than me."

The back of Chi Feiwan's halter dress was almost hollowed out, which was a bit too revealing for her, and her Chanel-style jacket couldn't cover it at all.

"Can I give you the coat tomorrow?" Chi Feiwan replied softly, trying to get his hand out of Jiang Huaixu's hand. However, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of letting go, but instead held it tighter.

“For you.”

Chi Feiwan found this man weird. He actually said he wanted to give it to her, so why did he also say that the coat was with her?

"Neuropathy."

"?"

Jiang Huaixu stared at Chi Feiwan quietly, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. After a moment, he slowly said, "Then you should give it to me tomorrow."

After saying that, he picked up the plastic bag containing his coat from the back seat and handed it to Chi Feiwan.

The time now is nine o'clock in the evening.

Chi Yizi sat quietly in the spacious and bright living room, his eyes fixed on the notebook in his hand. A dazzling white light happened to shine on his gloomy face.

In this silence, time seems to have stood still.

Chi Feiwan's movement was not loud, but it was enough for Chi Yizi to sense her presence.

He gently closed the notebook in his hand, then slowly raised his head, his eyes slowly moved, and finally stopped on Chi Feiwan. A stunning light suddenly flashed in his deep and dark pupils.

As if attracted by something, he stared at Chi Feiwan closely, the amazement in his eyes becoming more and more intense. After a long while, he finally said, "Do you have this dress in your closet?"

There are too many doubts in one sentence.

Chi Yizi also realized that what he said might not be right, and changed his words, "This windbreaker is too big for you, it doesn't seem to be your size."

That windbreaker was a famous brand with a logo on the chest. Chi Yizi also guessed who Chi Feiwan was with today.

"Because of a little accident, I borrowed someone else's clothes."

Chi Yizi raised his eyebrows and thought that this black suspender skirt was quite suitable for her.

"Go to rest early."

Chi Yizi opened his notebook again and typed a string of words into the chat box: [No need to check, I already know who it is. ]

Chi Feiwan returned to the room, changed his clothes, and washed Miss Wang's skirt. Many things that had happened in the past few days were full of questions.

She had no answer, but she felt that her third brother and Jiang Huaixu were weird.

Chi Feiwan raised her hand to hang out the clothes, and her eyes were attracted by the red mark on her wrist.

What if it was intentional? Then everything could be explained.

Before class, Chi Feiwan put the windbreaker in his schoolbag on Jiang Huaixu's desk.

Jiang Huaixu and Xu Yang came back from the bathroom just in time for the first bell for class.

He looked at Chi Feiwan and put his windbreaker into the drawer. However, Jiang Huaixu looked very bad today and coughed from time to time.

This class is the homeroom teacher's English.

"After the National Day holiday, you will have your first monthly exam. You will choose your seat based on your grades. If you want to sit where you want, you need to do well in the exam." Teacher Zhang continued, "After the first monthly exam, you will be divided into arts and science. Since we are special to Class 2, even if you choose arts, you will still be in this class and the courses will be the same. The exams will be divided into arts and science examination rooms."

Because school only lasts four days this week, the boarding students in the school are a little excited.

The student union recruitment ended yesterday. Li Qiong was not able to get in as she wished, but what surprised Chi Feiwan was his broadcasting partner.

During her internship, she did not encounter any accidents and passed the test smoothly. As soon as the internship was over, she became a formal member of the broadcasting club. The broadcasts were divided into noon and morning, odd and even weeks, and the president would schedule according to everyone's time.

The late evening is at noon and afternoon on Wednesdays of odd weeks.

Before the broadcast started at noon on Wednesday, Chi Feiwan had to go to the Youth League Committee office to get the key. After getting the key, she rushed to the radio station. After seeing the people sitting inside, she would be lying if she wasn't shocked.

The sun shines through the window into the radio station, illuminating Jiang Huaixu's school uniform short-sleeved shirt and the black and white jacket on the outside. He sits slightly sideways, with one hand casually resting on the table, and the other hand gently fiddling with the water cup in front of him. The water in the cup ripples as his fingers shake.

Jiang Huaixu glanced sideways and threw the key in his pocket to Chi Feiwan, "There are two keys. The person who was on the air yesterday gave them to me."

Chi Feiwan took the key steadily, still unable to accept the fact that his partner was Jiang Huaixu.

In other words, Chi Feiwan was the only one who didn't know that her partner was Jiang Huaixu.

Chi Feiwan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

She walked to the radio station, turned on the equipment, and began to adjust the volume.

"Do you have a cold?"

Jiang Huaixu nodded.

"So is your voice really okay for broadcasting?"

Jiang Huaixu placed the manuscript in front of her, "Your part is larger, mine is smaller, it won't affect my throat."

Chi Feiwan angrily sorted out the manuscripts, "Why didn't you ask for leave when you caught a cold? You're really asking for trouble."

Jiang Huaixu leaned back slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, and then gently placed the cup of water in his hand on the table. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a faint smile, and looked straight at Chi Feiwan, "You seem to not want to be with me."

Chi Feiwan smiled, his tone a little strange, "How could that be? It's my honor to be with Young Master Jiang. I'm so happy."
