All in all, Mother Ye was speaking up for Jiang Yu.

  Mother Ye couldn’t be blamed for helping Jiang Yu so much. It was mainly because Jiang Yu was a hero and their benefactor, so it was preconceived.

  In addition, Jiang Yu looked righteous and very polite. Moreover, he was Ye Xue’s classmate and colleague, so she was very optimistic about their relationship.

  Jiang Yu didn’t tell her that he wanted her to work at the head office. After chatting for a while, he left.

  As soon as Jiang Yu left, Ye Xue let out a sigh of relief. She immediately put the romance novel into a bag and put it on the bookshelf.

  She was still thinking in her heart. Fortunately, Jiang Yu didn’t see it. Otherwise, the next time they met, it would be awkward.

  After Jiang Yu returned, he passed by a bookstore. After thinking for a while, he asked the driver to stop the car. He pushed open the north door and got off, walking straight in.

  At this time, there were not many people in the bookstore. In front of the bookshelf, a few other people were standing over there.

  Jiang Yu walked around inside. When he came out, he had dozens of romance novels in his hands, including the book, “The sweet routine of an overbearing CEO.” He felt that he would be able to use it in the future.

  On the way back, he thought about it all the way. He had known Ye Xue for so long. Whether it was when they were in a relationship or when they were reunited after a long separation, he had never forced Ye Xue to do anything.

  The most intimate thing they had done was probably kissing.

  And that time, he had touched her breasts on impulse.

  But it was only through the clothes, and he did not dare to go any further.

  Now that he realized that Ye Xue was reading these books, would she also wish for him to do so?

  Ye Xue still lacks a status from him.

  Ye Xue had never agreed to be his girlfriend.

  He suddenly remembered that there was a plot in the book. The hot spring pool was very suitable for bathing in the hot spring in winter.

  After making up his mind, he called the special assistant to make some preparations. His family just happened to have a hot spring resort under their name.

  Tomorrow was a weekend.

  He hung up the phone and wrote a text message to Ye Xue. Then he held his phone tightly and began to look forward to Ye Xue’s reaction the next day.

  The next day, Jiang Yu drove on time to pick Ye Xue up. Yesterday, Ye Xue replied to his message, telling him not to go home and to wait for her at the entrance of the alley.

  Before Ye Xue went out, she dressed up a little. During the new year, she gritted her teeth and bought a wool coat and a pair of small leather shoes.

  Because Qin Shu had said that a person depended on clothes. It was very important to have good taste in clothes.

  When she wore it, she instantly became elegant.

  She looked at herself in the mirror for a while and felt that it was much better than the old jacket she wore before. Then, she carried her bag and prepared to go out. Before she left, she saw the red scarf on the clothes rack. When she went to university and went to the night market, she bought it together with Jiang Yu. After thinking for a while, she still took it off and wrapped it around her neck. Only then did she walk out of the house happily.

  It was February after today. Unexpectedly, snowflakes suddenly started to fall today.

  Ye Xue only noticed it when she walked out. She jogged towards the entrance of the alley in a happy mood.

  Before she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw Jiang Yu wearing a black windbreaker. His tall and straight body was standing in front of the car waiting for him. There were many snowflakes on his jet-black hair.

  There were many snowflakes on his broad shoulders too.

  It suddenly reminded her of the first snowfall when she went to university. Jiang Yu was wearing a black hoodie as he stood below the dormitory building waiting for her. There were many snowflakes on his body too.

  She did not expect that more than four years had passed in a flash.

  Jiang Yu was watching Ye Xue running towards him. She was wearing a new outfit today. It was a caramel-coloured coat. Her skin was very white, and the caramel colour made her look even whiter.

  The scarf around her neck was still the same red one. It had once encircled the two of them together.

  He had a vague feeling that he and Ye Xue had never been separated. They were like a couple that had been together for several years.

  Ye Xue jogged over and tiptoed to gently pat away the snowflakes on his hair and shoulders, she said, “It’s snowing. Why don’t you wait in the car? The snowflakes have melted. You’ll catch a cold if your clothes are wet.”


  “If I had waited in the car, I wouldn’t have had the chance to let you wipe the snow for me.” The corners of Jiang Yu’s mouth curved into a smile. Ye Xue tiptoed and closed the gap between their heights. The hot breath she exhaled when she spoke happened to fall on his chin, her gaze fell on Ye Xue’s small cherry lips, and he could not help but lower his head and kiss her.

  Ye Xue’s hand was resting on Jiang Yu’s shoulder. Because of the sudden kiss, she had forgotten her purpose.

  This was the second time she had kissed her since they met, and the excitement was still no less than the first time.

  In winter, the alley was full of gossip. Occasionally, two or three pedestrians would pass by on the road. Most of them were young men and women. From time to time, they would cast their gazes over. Some were envious, and some were mocking.

  Although Jiang Yu was a little excited, he was not like last time when he was so excited that he did not control himself and just took things from her.

  He kissed Ye Xue lightly twice. When he looked down, he saw that Ye Xue’s face was slightly red. He pulled open the front passenger seat and said, “Xiao Xue, get in the car first.”


  When Ye Xue turned around, she realized that someone was looking at them. She could not wait to get into the car a red face.

  Jiang Yu closed the car door and walked around from the front to the driver’s seat. He opened the car door and got in. After starting the engine, he realized that Ye Xue wasn’t wearing her seatbelt and leaned forward. Ye Xue thought that Jiang Yu was going to kiss her again, so she didn’t know whether to hide or what to do, in the end, she simply closed her eyes and waited for a while. When the kiss that she thought was going to happen didn’t come, she opened her eyes again and saw the handsome face that was right in front of her. She was so scared that her eyes widened. Her eyes were very big, they looked like a black pearl that was big and round.

  Jiang Yu held back his laughter and said, “I’ll fasten your seatbelt for you.”


  Ye Xue’s fair cheeks instantly turned red. She was so embarrassed.

  Jiang Yu knew that Ye Xue would get shy easily. After fastening the seatbelt, he sat up straight and drove away.

  After a while, Ye Xue’s face gradually returned to its usual fair complexion. She stole a glance at Jiang Yu. Seeing that he was driving seriously, she felt much more relaxed. She remembered that he had sent a message yesterday saying that he was going out to play. She asked, “Where are we going to?”


  Jiang Yu said as he drove, “We are going to a hot spring. It can relieve my fatigue.”


  Hot spring?

  Ye Xue had never been to a public swimming pool, not to mention a hot spring. She had seen it on television. A man and a woman were sitting in a huge hot spring pool. Not only did they feel embarrassed, but they were very awkward.

  “There are a lot of people at the hot spring pool in winter, right? Why don’t we go again next time? We won’t go this time.”


  Jiang Yu could guess what she was thinking without even looking at her. “There are public hot spring pools and private hot spring pools. I ordered a private hot spring pool, so you don’t have to be embarrassed.”


  “Oh, there’s a private hot spring pool.” Ye Xue finally let out a sigh of relief. Having a private hot spring pool was similar to bathing herself, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Thinking about it, she felt a lot more at ease.

  An hour later, at the hot spring resort villa.

  Because the arrangements had been made in advance, Jiang Yu brought Ye Xue along with the waiter and went straight to the private hot spring pool, which was comparable to the hotel’s presidential suite.

  Ye Xue thought that it was just a private hot spring pool, but when she entered, she realized that it was an independent courtyard. There were flowers and grass inside, and even the hot spring pool was open-air.
