After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

Shen Xiaoxia turned her head to look at him. Seeing that his cheeks were slightly red from the cold wind and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes, she asked with concern, "Jiang Yan, do you want to take a rest?"

Jiang Yan shook his head gently, revealing a gentle smile, "It's okay, I'm fine!"

Seeing that there were only a few days left before the New Year, Shen Xiaoxia suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Are you still going to send out the car before the New Year?"

Jiang Yan leaned back in his chair, adjusted his sitting position slightly, and said, "No more long-distance trips. I'll probably do short trips of three or four days! Finish some nearby work and spend the New Year in peace!"

Shen Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and asked curiously, "What about after the New Year? Have you made any plans for the New Year?"

Jiang Yan shook his head. No notice had been issued yet. He looked at Shen Xiaoxia and asked, "When will you be back after the New Year?"

Shen Xiaoxia replied, "The last day for the letter of introduction is the sixth day of the first lunar month. I should leave home on the fourth day of the first lunar month! I have to reserve some time in advance in case anything unexpected happens along the way!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan silently calculated the time in his mind, "I'll check the train schedule from your place when the time comes. If I'm still home, I'll come pick you up!"

He went back to see if he could arrange a shorter trip for those two days.

Shen Xiaoxia didn't say no, but responded with a bright smile, "Okay!"

The two of them chatted casually, and even when they had nothing to say, they didn't feel awkward!

Jiang Yan's attention was always on Shen Xiaoxia, keeping an eye on her condition. In winter, it gets dark early. Seeing that it was about to get dark, he looked at Shen Xiaoxia with a look of concern in his eyes and asked softly, "Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat something?"

Shen Xiaoxia originally planned to eat later, after all, she didn't feel too hungry yet.

But seeing Jiang Yan's tired face, he changed his mind and thought that he could endure it, but Jiang Yan had been running around with him and might be hungry. So he nodded lightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and responded gently, "Okay, let's go eat something!"

The place they ate was the station restaurant, which was also state-owned. Shen Xiaoxia thought for a moment and asked, "Are we going to come back after we finish eating? Do we need to take everything with us?"

Jiang Yan thought for a moment. It was still early for departure, and the waiting room was too noisy. He suggested, "Why don't you come back after eating? There's definitely no place to sit in the waiting room right now. It's too tiring to stand and wait for the bus all the time!"

The two bags are full of food. If they were filled with useful things, they could be used as benches!

Shen Xiaoxia thought it made sense and nodded, "Then come back after you finish eating!"

The decoration inside the store is simple and plain, and the walls are a bit mottled, but the tables and chairs are neatly arranged. It is dinner time now, and there are quite a few people eating inside, probably most of them are tourists!

The two found an empty seat and sat down. After discussing, they each ordered a serving of dumplings.

In such a cold day, eating some hot dumplings can not only dispel the coldness from your body but also fill your stomach.

Jiang Yan got up and went to order the food. After a while, steaming hot dumplings were served on the table. Each one was plump and round, exuding an enticing aroma.

Shen Xiaoxia gently bit open the dumpling skin, and the delicious soup instantly burst in her mouth. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction, with a smile on her eyes and eyebrows.

Jiang Yan looked at her enjoying herself, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. The two of them ate dumplings quietly, occasionally looking up at each other and smiling at each other. A warm atmosphere flowed around the small dining table.

After eating, they didn't rush to leave, but sat inside to rest for a while.

Before leaving, Jiang Yan raised his hand and gently patted Shen Xiaoxia's shoulder, asking her to wait a moment. He then turned around and walked quickly towards the waiting room.

There are still quite a few people in the waiting hall now compared to the afternoon, but it is not as noisy. However, there are still no empty seats!

After a while, he hurried back, his hair messed up by the cold wind, and a look of helplessness on his face. "Why don't we go to the car and wait a while? There are still a lot of people here!"

Shen Xiaoxia raised her eyes to look at him. She guessed that this would be the result. She nodded slightly and replied softly, "Okay!"

After that, the two walked out of the hotel side by side and stepped into the cold wind again.

After returning to the car, Shen Xiaoxia leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes slightly to rest. He looked at Jiang Yan and said, "Why don't you close your eyes and rest for a while?"

Jiang Yan smiled and replied, "Okay!"

It’s definitely impossible to sleep, but it’s good to close your eyes and rest. After sending her off, Jiang Yan still has to drive back.

It was already dark outside, and the car was illuminated by a flashlight.

After a while, Shen Xiaoxia quietly opened her eyes, and her gaze inadvertently fell on Jiang Yan's profile.

The high bridge of the nose casts a small, light shadow under the soft light inside the car, making the facial features look deeper and more three-dimensional.

His eyelashes were thick and long, hanging down quietly at this moment, and occasionally trembling slightly with his even breathing.

The slightly pursed lips have clear lines and a bit of determination.

A few strands of scattered hair on the forehead slightly cover the smooth forehead, but add a bit of casualness and unruliness.

As he looked at her, Shen Xiaoxia felt a little ripple in her heart. As if he noticed that Shen Xiaoxia was staring at him, Jiang Yan turned his head to look over.

Meeting his gaze, Shen Xiaoxia smiled softly, "Thank you for today!"

Jiang Yan's lips curled up slightly as he looked directly into Shen Xiaoxia's eyes, his eyes filled with tenderness, a look of helplessness and doting. He said softly, "I didn't do much, and besides, I did it willingly. Your thank you seems a little strange!"

After a slight pause, Jiang Yan's eyes became more profound, as if hiding endless expectations, "Besides, you know, what I want to hear is not just a thank you...!"

After understanding what Jiang Yan meant, Shen Xiaoxia's smile became more genuine, "Oh, I understand!"

Jiang Yan leaned sideways and leaned slightly in the direction of Shen Xiaoxia. He said "Oh?" with a smile, trying to tease Shen Xiaoxia, "What do you know?"

Shen Xiaoxia suppressed her smile, deliberately put on a stern face, and looked at Jiang Yan seriously, "I know Comrade Jiang still needs to work harder!"

Looking at Shen Xiaoxia's lively and playful appearance, Jiang Yan smiled indulgently and wanted to ruffle Shen Xiaoxia's hair. "Then, Shen Zhiqing, can you tell me if there are any specific directions and methods for your efforts?"

"Well...!" Shen Xiaoxia blinked, "Comrade Jiang will have to figure it out on his own!"

Jiang Yan straightened his back, his expression solemn, a confident smile on his face, and said firmly, "I will continue to work hard. Please take good care of me in the future, Shen Zhiqing!"

At around eight o'clock, Jiang Yan looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late, time to go wait for the bus!"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's go over there!"

The two of them waited in the waiting hall for a short while before the ticket check for entry to the station began. Jiang Yan sent Shen Xiaoxia to the station entrance. Although he had said it several times before, he still reminded her again, "Be careful on the road, pay attention to safety, and keep important things with you at all times. Don't let them leave your eyes. Also, eat the snacks and fruits in the package when you're hungry..."

He spoke tirelessly, and Shen Xiaoxia did not interrupt him. Every time Jiang Yan said something, she nodded patiently in response.

Although he was very reluctant, Jiang Yan handed the bag to Shen Xiaoxia and said, "Let's go. If possible, please send me a telegram when you get home."

Shen Xiaoxia reached out to take the bag and agreed, "Okay!"

After entering the station, Shen Xiaoxia walked a few steps with the crowd, then stopped, turned around and walked a few steps to the side. Then she looked at Jiang Yan who was a few steps away, with a firm and gentle expression. She called out, "Jiang Yan...!"
