Chapter 138: CH 138

Plum Blossom

Shen Chi ran to the Yanda pharmacy to buy anti-inflammatory drugs, then carefully put the ointment on Yan Xue Xiao.

“Apply the medicine and it will be good soon.”

Yan Xue Xiao stared at Shen Chi.

Pedestrians are rarely seen, and the shop signs flicker in the night wind. After smearing the medicine, they go to Huating.

“It’s so cold this winter.”

The wind blew on his face like a knife. When he said a sentence, his breathing turned white. The next second his hand was held, the man’s voice was low, “Not cold.”

His heart beat fast and two people walked slowly in the winter night, carefully absorbing each other’s warmth.

The news of Mrs. Yan’s meeting of the board of directors surged in the Yan’s undercurrent. The next day, Raven walked into Yan Xiao Xiao’s office and looked at the calm man and couldn’t help reminding.

“The meeting is scheduled tomorrow morning.”

He can’t understand Yan Xue Xiao’s attitude, maybe he hates Luo Shu, because Luo Shu is really blameless, so detailed that he can remember everyone’s preferences.

“Have you ever heard of Tian’s generation of Qi?”

Raven shook his head respectfully, even though he learned Chinese, he still knows little about Chinese culture.

“The Tian clan is the courtier of the emperor of Qi, and those who have no money divide their towns privately. Those who are poor and widows privately and millet, and finally swallow the Qi family .”

[TL: I tried reading the history based on my understanding the Tian Clan served the emperor for years before they stole the throne ending the Qi dynasty so YXX is hinting that sooner or later Luo Shu would do the same.]

Raven heard the meaning behind that, Luo Shu’s strict management is very popular. If you return to the center of power, Zheng An’s checks and balances are no different than letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

He asked in a low voice, “Do you need to block the meeting?”

“Let’s see who gets off first.”

Yan Xue Xiao squinted his eyes.

Raven was secretly surprised by Yan Xue Xiao’s calmness, and for a while, he still wanted to clear his thoughts. He still remembered the snowy night that changed his fate, he and Ah Pei drove up the mountain.

Among the stumps and flesh and blood, he saw the blood on his shirt. Perhaps from that time on, it was not the Yan family but Yan Xue Xiao who had survived.

——Yan Xue Xiao of the Yan family.

Yan’s courtyard is full of intertwined plum trees. Luo Shu walks among the plum blossoms and supports the lens on the bridge of his nose.

“Madam, you must call the board of directors.”

“You saved Yan Zhao’s life.” Mrs. Yan wrapped her shawl: “He is not like Yan Zhao. If Yan Zhao is still there, he won’t force you to leave Yan.”

“Unfortunately he(YZ) is not ‌.”

Madam Yan stopped.

Luo Shu slowly said, “Sorry, I shouldn’t mention it.”

“You are always polite in front of me”, Madam Yan replied. “I was at a loss when I heard the news of the death. He clearly said that he would go back to Yancheng knowing that his airplane would crash. Fortunately, you were next to me to encourage me.”

“It should be.”

Luo Shu’s voice is particularly soft.

Shi Ran stood behind Luo Shu, followed Luo Shu after he climbed out of the mine, and returned to the border city from ‌.

He doesn’t know why Luo Shu likes plum blossoms. He often looks at the plum blossoms, but he suddenly understands when he looks at the plum blossoms in the courtyard.

After talking, Luo Shu walked out the door, he stopped next to Mrs. Yan. When he was about to step out of Yan’s residence, he stretched out and seemed to want to hug, but in the end he just said, “Plum blossoms fall on your shoulders.”

Shen Chi sat at the base in the morning and was suddenly pulled into a four-person WeChat group by Zhuang Zhou, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

【Zhuangzhou】It’s been a long time since we got together ‌, and the hot pot restaurant next door offers a 20% discount on opening. Today is Shi Liang’s birthday

Although they went to school in Yancheng, they were busy with work-study programs. They did not see each other many times. Zhuang Zhou worked as an apprentice in the studio, Shi Liang worked as an intern in the kindergarten, and Yan Shen worked in town.

Shen Chi ordered a cake, and went out for dinner in the afternoon. He sat on a low stool in the kindergarten half an hour later to drink probiotics, and suddenly received a call from Yan Xue Xiao

“I won’t leave the company today and will not be able to go back.”

Knowing what he would say next, he held the phone and promised, “If you have dinner outside, I will go to bed early.”

Zhuang Zhou, who was carrying the drawing board, tied the child’s hair and said: “Because I can go to eat hot pot today, I want to drink probiotics in the kindergarten.”

The little child with two pigtails pursed her lips and was about to cry. He hurriedly pointed to the fierce-looking Yan Shen and said, “This little brother specializes in children who like to cry.”

The child stopped crying immediately. Yan Shen squeezed the probiotic bottle in his hands, and Zhuang Zhou immediately changed his words: “I’m kidding.”

Shi Liang said embarrassedly: “The park is busy so I can’t ask for a day off. I am very happy to have you here, and I will invite you to dinner in the border town during the winter vacation.”

Shen Chi pursed his lips and handed the cake to Shi Liang. The young people from the border town cherished the rare gathering moment. After the separation, he returned to the base and boarded the live broadcast.

“The cub is back after celebrating birthday”

“Is there a gift in the backpack?”

“My friend is so nice”

“I want to see the gift received by cub ‌”

He took out his backpack. The first thing he took out was Shi Liang’s gift. Considering that he was playing games in winter, he knitted red and white wool .

[TL: I don’t know why he receive some gifts but just to clarify it was Shi Liang’s birthday not Shen Chi’s]

”What a coincidence”

“Ye Ning would like to ask for tips on weaving pigtails”

“I should raise my waist well”

‌The next thing he took out was a painting of Zhuang Zhou. It was vividly painted wolf ears on the paper. The pointed ears of the paper shook as if the wind blew over the paper.

“Puppy with dog ears!”

”Moe, a bloody face”

“Ah ah ah ah, I want the surroundings of the puppies”

”Curious about the next gift “

Shen Chi showed the painting and put it away. He slowly took out the book sent by Yan Shen from his backpack: “‌ This is the last gift ‌”.

“The book delivery is so tasteful”

“The boy’s friend is a cultural person”

When the barrage saw clearly the caption of the “Guide to Combat Skills” and was silent , Shen Chi turned on the computer to start training, and moved his attention back to the game.

“This must be the big brother in the audience”

[TL: Remember when the TTL fans did not dare shout for the team but then Yan Shen led them so they beat the other fans. So YS is known to other fans.]

”‌Think of being a cub’s little friend”

“No wonder he is always in the auditorium”

Because it takes time to eat dinner and Yan Xue Xiao called to say he is going to stay at the company. Until early morning, he was still playing games and he did not seem to have rest.

“Cub, it’s time to rest”

“One minute past twelve ‌”

”Two points”

“Do young ones get bored?”

Shen Chi clenched the mouse tightly. He felt tired of playing. He liked to improve the accuracy of shooting in day-to-day exercise and enjoyed his best efforts in every game. He clicked on the next game and said, “Play another game.”

“Just play one game”

“Mom doesn’t believe you”

“Thank you to the person who will put the cub to sleep”

Yan Xue Xiao watched the live broadcast quietly, and Ah Pei next to him was worried about the meeting tomorrow.He looked on coldly at the meeting schedule and made a move. He didn’t know whether it was a compromise or a preparation.

His instinct told him that it was the latter. When he noticed that the man turned off the screen and got up from the chair, Ah Pei couldn’t help but wonder if he would go back so early , and to prepare his mind for tomorrow’s event.

Shen Chi sat in front of the computer and continued the game. When he was about to start the next game, he suddenly heard the door open. He turned his head indifferently, but froze after seeing the person.

The young man who stayed up all night suddenly stood up from the chair, took off the white earphones, stammered and asked, “Why are you here?”

Yan Xue Xiao said lightly,”Take you to sleep.”
