Chapter 169 Extremely Cold (21)
Author: Xiangcha
After the news of the alliance's preparation for a large-scale counterattack spread, within half a month it received many peace documents in the name of the peace faction. Under Zhao Yutang's instruction, the alliance did not reply to any of them.
During this period, some people in the alliance couldn't wait and were worried that this would be self-defeating, so they quietly approached Xuesheng, hoping that he could intervene in this matter. Unfortunately, he found the wrong person. The person in the entire alliance who believed most in Zhao Yutang's decision was Xuesheng.
, so things developed in an orderly manner according to Zhao Yutang's expectations.
When fishing, the most important thing you need is patience.
Finally, the authorities began to worry. Now that the power of the Peace Faction is getting stronger and stronger, the research institute refused to develop more powerful heavy weapons under the instruction of Mr. Guo. If they were really attacked by the alliance at this time, they would probably
There will be heavy losses.
Even though the authorities usually make no concessions on the scope of use of snow melting agents, when a war really breaks out, they will be frightened and worried, and they will not dare to fight at all.
After procrastinating for a week, under the strong pressure of the peace faction, the authorities finally agreed to sign an armistice and peace agreement with the alliance. This agreement was not simple. It contained more than a dozen clauses covering all aspects. The authorities not only had to formally recognize the alliance organization
It is a humiliating treaty for them to comply with the legality of the treaty and provide the alliance with a large amount of food and daily necessities on time within three years.
Therefore, when the two parties signed the agreement, several representatives of the main war faction looked extremely ugly, as if they had swallowed a hundred flies.
"Hahaha, did you see it just now? The expressions of those people are really scary. I'm afraid they feel humiliated to death."
Zhang Huan accompanied Zhao Yutang when he went north to sign the agreement this time. Xuesheng was not suitable to appear in front of others, so she just waited with the alliance.
Zhang Huan smiled and imitated the faces of those people. Leng Buding saw someone coming from behind and thought they were coming to settle a score with him, so he was slightly startled.
The man didn't notice his little move and walked straight towards Zhao Yutang.
"Jade Tang?"
Zhao Yutang stopped and looked at the old professor in front of him who was over sixty years old with gray hair and was re-employed for the future of the institute. He nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Guo."
Mr. Guo smiled and nodded, "The occasion just now is not suitable to reminisce with you. How have you been during this time?"
He was the teacher of Zhao's father and Liu Shouyi, and single-handedly promoted these two people from ordinary scientific researchers. However, he disagreed with Zhao's father and Liu Shouyi on several major matters, and he was resolute and refused to give in. He was disturbed by the attitudes of these two people.
I was completely devastated, and later I simply retired and was no longer responsible for the affairs of the institute.
When Zhao's father died, Liu Shouyi immediately asked someone to check Zhao Yutang's whereabouts. At that time, it was Mr. Guo who helped cover Zhao Yutang so that he could leave smoothly.
She nodded and bent her eyes, "Not bad."
This was the truth. Mr. Guo could see that she was in good condition now, so he was completely relieved and said repeatedly, "That's good, that's good."
He had a teacher-student relationship with Zhao's father for more than ten years, and he could be regarded as watching this child grow up. When he found out that Liu Shouyi was going to kill Zhao Yutang for half of the manual, he had a big worry in his heart, worried that this child would
She was hurt by her dissatisfied father, but fortunately everything is fine now.
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the hottest time of January. The city streets seem to be revitalized and lively again as winter turns to spring. Mr. Guo took advantage of the situation and invited Zhao Yutang to stay for two days to take a look around this rare bustling scene.
Because he still had to supervise the authorities' implementation of the terms stipulated in the agreement, Zhao Yutang also wanted to buy something back, so he accepted the invitation and accompanied Mr. Guo around.
When people get old, they always recall the past unconsciously. With Zhao Yutang, an old friend, by his side, Mr. Guo feels that half of his life has not been in vain.
At dusk, Guo Lao was still interested and wanted Zhao Yutang to accompany him for another walk. Zhang Huan, who was carrying a heavy responsibility, finally found the right time to interject, "Boss, should we return to the alliance?"
He meant something, "Chou Chou must miss you very much."
Of course, someone is more anxious than Chou Chou.
Mr. Guo didn't know why, "Who is Chou Chou?"
Zhao Yutang smiled, "Well, a snow rabbit."
She declined Mr. Guo's invitation and headed back with Zhang Huan and others.
In the alliance, Xuesheng has been sitting on the snowy mountain in a daze since Zhao Yutang left, looking into the distance without focus. Next to him, Chou Chou, who was forced to come over, squatted.
He lowered his eyelashes and sighed softly, and the snowflakes around him fell in response.
Why haven’t you found waiting to be such a torturous thing before?
Xuesheng lived like this for a long time. He was not a human being and did not need to eat, drink, or sleep. He spent all day and night on the snowy mountains, often sitting until he turned into a real snowman.
"Drive faster."
Zhao Yutang, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke, startling Zhang Huan who was driving, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Yutang blinked the falling snow on his eyelashes, with a faint smile in his voice, "He will soon turn into a snowman."
Zhang Huan followed her line of sight and looked forward. In the distance, the line of Tianshan Mountain was filled with vast whiteness. He really couldn't tell which one was the snow hill and which one was the Xuesheng waiting for his wife's stone. He also didn't know how Zhao Yutang saw people.
.
He stepped on the accelerator and the car sped along. Zhang Huan felt as if his eyesight was dazzled for a moment. When he regained consciousness, he found that Xuesheng was already approaching.
As soon as Zhao Yutang got out of the car, she was wrapped in a cold embrace. The ice made her teeth chatter, "Where is Chou Chou?"
Xuesheng hugged her and refused to let go. The summoned Chou Chou squeezed in through the gap and was responsible for providing Zhao Yutang with the only source of heat.
With Chou Chou as a buffer, Zhao Yutang finally felt that he would not be frozen.
She patted Xuesheng's shoulder, touched his almost frozen hair, and asked funnyly, "Why did you freeze into ice cubes?"
Xuesheng didn't answer, only complained softly, "You came back so late."
If he had known she would stay outside for so long, he would have followed her no matter what.
"Ahem," Zhao Yutang knew that he had indeed wasted time, so he smoothed his hair very skillfully, "I will definitely take you with me next time I go out."
After getting her promise, Xuesheng felt a little happier. When he was happy, his body temperature would rise a little, and he would no longer be a frozen lump of ice.
They walked home slowly together. The houses on the roadside that had been damaged by snow had been rebuilt and could be renovated once the funds promised by the authorities were allocated.
Only then did Zhao Yutang feel a sense of peace that the dust had settled, but Xuesheng obviously did not feel this way. He just looked at people's busyness indifferently, and still had no sense of belonging to the big family of the "Alliance".
This is normal. He doesn't belong here. If it weren't for a rose, who would look at the mud on the roadside?
Suddenly something hard was placed in the palm of her hand. Xue Sheng looked down and found two fruit-flavored hard candies wrapped in laser paper.
He blinked, "For me?"
Without waiting for Zhao Yutang to answer, he asked again, "Does everyone have it, or is it just me?"
Zhao Yutang: "..."
While guiltily hiding the other hard candy that was intended for Chou Chou, he replied with a calm expression, "Only you have it."
Xuesheng was so happy and satisfied that she even took two candies and waved them in front of Zhang Huan the next day.
He was mysterious and carrying a small bag very preciously, which immediately aroused Zhang Huan's curiosity.
"Boss, what's in your bag?"
When Zhang Huan asked, there were many people around. Everyone had already noticed that Xuesheng was unusual today. They even suspected that there was some new type of weapon in the bag, something very lethal. Now they heard someone speak for him.
, all secretly pricked up their ears.
The fat man liked to join in the fun, but he didn't mean too much. He pulled the thin monkey over here, curious as hell, "What good thing?"
After whetting their appetites for a while, Xue Sheng slowly opened the zipper of the small bag. He raised his face slightly and his eyebrows were arrogant. Because he was so beautiful and unassuming, so unlike ordinary people, people couldn't help but wonder what was in the bag.
Treasures that are hard to find in heaven are hard to find on earth. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of Him?
The opening of the bundle was opened, and the contents inside were revealed, with only a faintly shining corner visible in the light.
Everyone began to guess: Is it a diamond?
The small bag was completely open, and just at this moment a shadow came over. After the light was lost, everyone could see what it was at a glance——
Two candies, fruit-flavored hard candies.
"...?"
Although hard candies have gradually become a rarity in recent years, they don’t need to be this rare!
The fat man was shocked because he couldn't believe it and even found a reasonable excuse. "Is it possible that this is actually a small bomb that looks like candy?"
He thought hard: "Maybe a big diamond carved into the shape of a hard candy?"
Thin Monkey: "...impossible."
He revealed the secret, "Is this a gift from the boss?"
Xuesheng gave him an appreciative look, indicating that his guess was correct.
When Zhao Yutang was attracted by the gathering crowd, he saw this ridiculous scene. For a few seconds, he didn't want to admit that this was his own snowman.
But Xuesheng has already seen her.
He put away the fruit candies and walked towards Zhao Yutang, "Yuyu."
Everyone looked left and right sensibly, tacitly ignoring the incident of catching a horse just now.
Zhao Yutang sighed and led the snowman home.
"Why haven't you eaten this candy yet?"
Fortunately, his body temperature was low, otherwise he would have melted the candy.
Xuesheng said seriously, "If you eat it, it will be gone."
Zhao Yutang is funny, does he still want to preserve sugar as a fossil?
She took the candy from Xuesheng's hand, peeled it open and handed it to his lips, "Eat."
Xuesheng still couldn't bear to eat it, but she put it to his mouth, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to put the candy in his mouth reluctantly.
After a while, Xuesheng was still immersed in inexplicable regrets when he saw a glittering paper crane appearing in front of his eyes. His eyes suddenly lit up and he took it in surprise.
"Good-looking." He looked into Zhao Yutang's eyes, he must be very happy, his eyes and lips were curved.
Zhao Yutang smiled quietly.
As expected, he is a guy who likes paper cranes.
