Iâm Downstairs (2)
This was not their home. Naturally, Jiang Xiumei still wanted to spend the New Year with Jiang Xing. She had to ask about Jiang Xiaomanâs wishes.
âXiaoman, go and discuss with your grandfather about how the new year will be spent. Grandma is going back. If Iâm not at home, your uncle will be alone and cannot celebrate the New Year. Itâs not good for your uncle to have a cold New Year alone.â
Jiang Xiaoman nodded, then called Old Master Wen.
Old Master Wen had also been discharged from the hospital and had recovered well. He used to look like an old man on his sunset days, but now he was in good spirits.
After listening to Jiang Xiaomanâs words, Old Master Wen was silent for a while and asked Jiang Xiaoman, âThen how do you want to celebrate it?â
Jiang Xiaoman whispered, âI... I want to celebrate the New Year with my Grandma.â
If Grandma left and she stayed here alone, it would be so lonely just thinking about it.
Although these people were her family, to be honest, their relationship was not deep.
Although the Wen family was good, it felt cold and she couldnât really blend in, so Jiang Xiaoman didnât want to bother them. She never treated herself badly, and she would say whatever was on her mind. Although she was leaving when it was still just her first year coming back home to the Wen family, she still said it straightforwardly.
Fortunately, her grandfather was a reasonable person and said that she could go with her grandma if she wanted, but she had to go home first for a few days.
Jiang Xiaoman had no objections and agreed.
The next day, Jiang Xiaoman packed up and went to Wen family house.
Yu Qingshi walked her to the door, then sent her downstairs from the door, and chased her to the car that was picking her up. He watched her get into the car, and waved his hand at her through the window.
Driver Zhou smiled and said, âFirst Miss, why donât you let your friend come with you too? Look at how reluctant he is to separate from you.â
Jiang Xiaoman stuck her head out and asked him, âDo you want to come with me?â
Yu Qingshi shook his head and said, âCall me if thereâs anything.â
âUh-huh.â
Wen Hui breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brighter than before. Jiang Xiaoman could clearly feel that compared to when she had just returned home, Wen Huiâs arrogant attitude was gone, and she became a little more pleasant.
Maybe because she met with a lot of trouble, she learned how to be humble.
Jiang Xiaoman also didnât want to make her relationship with her so stiff, but it was still awkward for the mother and daughter to get along. Maybe because she lacked a motherâs love when she was small, making up for it afterwards could not satisfy her.
She was really a bad child, no wonder she was selected by the system.
At night, Jiang Xiaoman took a shower, changed into pajamas, and picked out a book on the bookshelf that Wen Hui prepared for her. It was quiet and peaceful for a while.
When she came back to her senses, she found that it was snowing outside the window.
It was the first snow of the year.
Jiang Xiaoman was in high spirits and immediately picked up the phone to share this with her good friend.
Yu Qingshi, have you gone to sleep yet? Itâs snowing tonight. If I knew, I wouldâve come here tomorrow. I wanted to build a snowman with you.
They didnât get to make one together last year, and it she was still hung up on it.
After a while, the phone rang. It was Yu Qingshi who replied.
Yu Qingshi said that he hadnât slept yet. Now was also a good time.
Jiang Xiaoman: â?â
This time, the silence on the other side was extraordinarily long, as if he was thinking about something and going through a huge test. Yu Qingshi didnât reply until Jiang Xiaoman thought he was already asleep.
âIâm downstairs.â
âEh???â
Jiang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment. She immediately put down her phone, then opened the window and looked down, and found a... snowman standing in the snow?
Yu Qingshi??
