520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

It is cold outside.

Even with a slight breath, you can see the white air you exhale in the air.

Xiang Huanian, shivering with cold, quickly wrapped himself up in his clothes, pulled up his collar, buried his face in them, put on his hat from behind, and then put his hands in his pockets, leaving no skin exposed except for his eyes.

Just as Xiang Huanian wanted to jog forward and warm up his body through exercise, a shout suddenly came from the side.

"Niannian, wait a moment."

Xiang Huanian thought he was hallucinating and turned his head in the direction of the voice in disbelief.

But he saw Gu Lingyan walking towards him through the door between the two villas.

"Mr. Gu?"

Xiang Huanian was surprised. At this time, most creatures, except for night owls and people working early shifts, should be asleep.

How could Gu Lingyan appear in front of me at this time when it’s still dark and I’m about to go out?

Xiang Huanian stood there, staring at Gu Lingyan who was walking towards him.

He seemed completely unaffected by the cold, wearing a fitted down jacket with the zipper open, revealing a slightly slim-fitting sweater underneath.

Maybe because he got up early, he looked a little sleepy, which was rare.

But in Xiang Huanian's eyes, Gu Lingyan at this moment inexplicably looked like a lazy nobleman.

Extraordinary temperament.

It's like strolling in the garden, like the protagonist walking out of a ghost. In addition to his handsomeness, he also has a certain atmosphere and charm.

There was no sign of shivering at all due to the cold weather.

Unlike Xiang Huanian, who was about to wrap himself up into a ball.

But Xiang Huanian couldn't take his eyes off it.

Even in such freezing weather, I felt a gentle warmth suddenly rising in my heart.

"clatter."

Gu Lingyan walked in front of Xiang Huanian, and the sensor light at the door lit up with the sound of Gu Lingyan's footsteps, illuminating this small world, unaffected by the gloomy weather.

"Why are you here at this time?"

As Gu Lingyan approached, Xiang Huanian seemed to vaguely smell a cold air coming from him.

How long had he been standing outside like this?

"It's too dark. I want to take you to the subway station."

Gu Lingyan, who was suffering from insomnia again, estimated the time, got himself ready, and waited in the Gu family yard on the other side of the door. He leaned against the wall, looked up at the dark sky and the stars, and waited for Xiang Huanian to open the door.

Although, Gu Lingyan would rather drive and send Xiang Huanian back directly.

But Xiang Huanian will definitely reject her...

So, settle for the next best thing.

Gu Lingyan decided to accompany Xiang Huanian to the bright subway station.

Xiang Huanian looked at Gu Lingyan, whose cheeks were slightly red, and his worry for him prevailed.

Take a step forward.

Xiang Huanian's hand touched Gu Lingyan's cheek.

"...It's so cold. How long have you been waiting outside?"

A pair of warm hands touched his slightly frozen face.

Soft warmth, with the fragrance he likes.

Gu Lingyan looked at Xiang Huanian who was approaching and suddenly felt a little nervous. He swallowed and said:

“…No, not long.”

"You lied to me."

Xiang Huanian frowned and rubbed the slightly cold skin under his palm unhappily.

Obviously, based on the facts and the temperature Xiang Huanian felt in his palm.

Xiang Huanian didn't believe Gu Lingyan's statement that he had only been waiting outside for "a short time".

"About ten minutes..."

Gu Lingyan, driven by a desire to survive, looked at Xiang Huanian in front of him, who had a stern face and looked at him very seriously, and still chose to be honest.

Ten minutes...

The actual time must be added.

In this weather, in this environment with temperatures several degrees below zero, where you could get sick if you weren't careful, how could...

Xiang Huanian couldn't tell what he felt at the moment.

just.

she felt.

It felt like I was about to be captured by the other party.

Sincerely convinced.

This world, it seems, is not that bad.

There was something else that made her stop for this...

Wait for her to come back... Forget it, let’s not set such a flag... Let’s talk about it when she comes back.

"Let's go."

Xiang Huanian withdrew his hand, put it in his pocket, and restrained his urge to hug Gu Lingyan tightly.

"what?"

Gu Lingyan, who had not yet recovered from the wonderful atmosphere of warmth and tenderness, was a little slow to react to Xiang Huanian's response.

"Let's go. Didn't you say you would take me to the subway station?"

Xiang Huanian, who had already walked a short distance, did not even look back, and let his voice reach Gu Lingyan's ears through the winter wind that seemed no longer cold.

"Oh yes!"

Gu Lingyan strode forward, walked to Xiang Huanian's side, and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, adjusting his pace so that he and Xiang Huanian kept moving at the same speed.

The whole person is filled with brilliance and joy that does not belong to this winter.

Noticing Gu Lingyan's joy, Xiang Huanian suddenly felt that Gu Shaoyu and he were indeed brothers, and they were really alike at certain moments.

On the way, Xiang Huanian and Gu Lingyan walked quietly, and no one spoke.

However, the atmosphere between the two of them gradually changed, and from a certain moment on, it became a little different.

"arrive."

The road to the subway is not long.

We arrived there quickly.

"Just send it here."

After Xiang Huanian stood on the subway stairs, he said to Gu Lingyan, who had never taken his eyes off her.

"Okay, be careful on the road. I'm here, waiting for you to come back."

Gu Lingyan raised his eyes and looked at Xiang Huanian on the steps. His dark eyes, illuminated by the bright lights at the subway entrance, shone like glass.

Tender and sparkling.

"Well, I'm leaving. It's so cold, you should go back soon."

After waving to Gu Lingyan, Xiang Huanian walked quickly towards the subway station.

But Gu Lingyan just stood there stupidly, smiling and waving his hands, responding to Xiang Huanian until she disappeared from view.

Xiang Huanian, who successfully boarded the first subway, snuggled in his warm collar and felt that going home was not so uncomfortable after all.

"Ding dong."

Just then, a text message came from Xiang Huanian's cell phone.

Xiang Huanian clicked it and saw that another sum of money from the boss had been transferred into his bank card.

Just as Xiang Huanian was surprised and frowned, thinking that he had been scammed and wanted to open Pocket Bank to check his transaction details, Gu Lingyan's message was also sent.

"Poor at home, rich on the road. I don't own much, but I have enough money. Plus the compensation for breaking my vow last time in the mountains, go ahead and buy whatever you want. Don't be reluctant. I'll wait for you to come back."

"Really..."

Xiang Huanian stroked the words on the screen of his mobile phone, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
