After the beginning of spring, the weather started to warm up, she was originally cold-tolerant and didn't fear the cold much.

  At this time of year a few years ago, she could wear only a thin jacket, but this year she actually felt a bit cold.

  It wasn't until almost April that Jiang Yan finally took off her thick coat.

  Originally had an appointment with Ruan Jiang to go on a trip, but he was suddenly called away on business and left for half a month.

  He rarely stood her up, Jiang Yan didn't say anything, he said that he would take her to Rovaniemi to see the aurora on Christmas this year, she just agreed. She counted the time difference every day and called him, occasionally it wasn't connected, Ruan Jianglin would call her back afterwards.

  Wang Xiya never appeared in front of Jiang Yan again after that incident, and she also stopped going to District B. The two of them had no more intersections.

  Ruan Jiang was addicted to Jiang Yan like a poison, and when he wasn't by her side, she would become anxious.

  One night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, burying her entire head in the pillow, trying to feel a hint of warmth from a man's presence.

  She then gave Ruan Jianglin a call, taking into account the time difference, and it should be near dawn on the other end.

  "Ring ring ring" rang for many times, and no one answered. Just as her fingertips were about to touch the hang-up button, Ruan Jiang finally picked up.

  He has a bad temper, especially when being woken up by others. He always gets out of bed in a foul mood.

  "Huh?" His tone had a bit of an edge, as if he'd been woken up by someone.

  Jiang Yan didn't say a word, listening to the breathing sound of some men on the other end.

  After a long while, seeing that she wasn't speaking, the man finally asked her patiently, still with some remnants of sleepiness: "Missing me?"

  Jiang Yan held her phone close, a soft breathing sound, and lightly murmured "uh-huh".

  "Looks like I'm craving for it." He said with a smirk.

  He's right, she is indeed hungry.

  Anyway, since Ruan Jiang Lin was not in front of her, she boldly smiled without hiding: "Hmm, so when are you coming back?"

  He remained silent, and Jiang Yan only heard that rustling sound, which should be him getting out of bed.

  He lit a cigarette, covering the flame with his palm, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and slowly said, "Next Wednesday."

  Jiang Yan nodded again, and the two of them chatted intermittently.

  Until Jiang Yan's end of the line only transmitted light breathing sounds, Ruan Jianglin then hung up the phone.

  The next day when Jiang Yan woke up, she didn't even know what time she had fallen asleep last night.

  She made a fuss again at midnight, and he was already busy. When he got busy, he often didn't care about anything else and would stay up all night.

  On Wednesday, Jiang Yan changed her class schedule, which was something she rarely did.

  Occasionally, the counselor also agreed.

  She had gone to the airport ahead of time and was waiting there, but she hadn't told Ruan Jianglin that he would be picking her up.

  Ruan Jiang's flight was delayed and she didn't know, so she waited at the airport for two hours.

  Ruan Jianglin didn't see her at home and gave her a call, only to find out that she was waiting for him alone at the airport.

  He then asked the driver to go and pick her up and bring her back.

  Jiang Yan felt like an idiot, learning about other people's romance while sitting alone in the airport for two hours.

  The airport is quite far from home, she waited for a while before the driver arrived.

  The airport in Beicheng runs along the river to the city center, and in April, the weather is just right for early spring. The tree branches that seemed to be withering on the roadside are also starting to sprout again.

  She rolled down the car window and let the wind blow in, soothing her irritability.

  "Did Mr. Lu go together this time?" She tied her hair up with the rubber band in her hand.

  He smiled politely and replied courteously: "I've gone."

  Jiang Yan pinched her fingers, pretending to be serious about this matter. She had learned it from Ruan Jianglin. With a careless tone, she asked: "Mr. Lu followed Jiang Lin out and must have enjoyed a lot of good fortune."

  Her eyes were cold and clear, but a smile hung on her lips.

  Although she knew it wasn't good to ask this way, her possessiveness and curiosity got the better of her, and she still asked.

  "Don't worry, Miss Jiang."

  Others may respond with perfect tact, neither fawningly denying nor candidly confessing.

  He has driven for many wealthy people, his age is evident, so are his experiences, and he knows how to cleverly handle situations.

  Jiang Yan was not the first person to try to pry into his secrets in this way, those rich ladies had also tried to get their husbands' secrets out of him before, but he was a slick talker and knew just how to handle them.

  Jiang Yan smiled wryly to herself. Although she hadn't really intended to get anything out of Mr. Lu, a woman's thoughts were all written on her face.

  Perhaps she was influenced by Ye Chen's affairs and had a lot of heart, knowing that Ruan Jianglin was not the kind of person who would stoop to stealing food.

  He won't steal food, he would either take it openly from the table or eat it in plain sight.

  Jiang Yan withdrew her smile and gazed out of the window. The sunlight was increasingly dazzling, making one's eyes ache a little.

  After closing the car window, I felt a bit better in my eyes.

  When she returned, Ruan Jianglin had already finished his bath and was feeling refreshed.

  Jiang Yan quickly walked over and threw herself into the man's arms, Ruan Jiang Lin instinctively wrapped his arms around her.

  "What's wrong, aren't you afraid I'll leave you out in the cold now?"

  These days, she always says he's cool and hugs him tightly.

  Ruan Jianglin said she was pretending, but it seemed like he was in a hurry to freeze her to death.

  What is this now? Longing becomes a disease? Throwing oneself into someone's arms?

  Early spring has arrived, she is no longer afraid of the cold.

  She climbed up onto the man's neck and sent her lips over, Ruan Jianglin stared at her with a smile.

  He slightly parted his thin lips, gently biting her earlobe, his uneven breathing was like a burning fire beside her ear, he spoke in a low and husky Beijing accent, with a hint of flirtation: "Miss, isn't this daytime debauchery?"

  Jiang Yan's eyes seemed both real and illusory, somewhat enchanting, as she gazed at Ruan Jianglin with deep emotion.

  He was as calm as nature, with a hint of disdain and indifference. His hands rested on her waist, just enough to keep her from falling.

  He took her pale as snow-like hands and pulled them down, his thin lips slightly pursed, tempting her: "You wear it."

  Jiang Yan followed his hand with her eyes, and he had a pair of hands with distinct bones, slender and good-looking. He reached out to take something from the box.

  Jiang Yan saw the man's movements and seemed to have been possessed by a gu, taking it from his hand.

  *

  She sat in front of the window, with the man half embracing her, occasionally stroking her smooth and delicate shoulders.

  It's almost dusk, the sun sets in the west, and the remaining light has not yet faded.

  She stuck to him, feeling every inch of each other's temperature.

  "Come back without even bringing me a gift."

  There was a lingering charm on her body, every move, every word was particularly enchanting, and there were some blushes on her face, soft hair fluttering at his fingertips.

  "I've brought you some seeds," he whispered in her ear.

  Jiang Yan thought he was talking nonsense again and told him to be serious.

  The man burst out laughing, holding her hand and saying with a careless expression: "What kind of seed do you think I'm talking about?"

  Jiang Yan was stunned, she really didn't understand.

  Ruan Jiang lightly pinched her cheek and scolded her with a "sly vixen".

  Now let's get serious, just now she looked more unserious than anyone else.
