After Fu Yanye finished speaking, he hung up the phone and asked the driver to drive without looking at her again.

Zhuo Jian watched the car go further and further away, but her heart could not calm down for a long time.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed like it was going to snow. When her hair was blown up, she came back to her senses, and then turned around and walked inside again.

——

A few days before the new year.

Ouyang Ping packed her luggage and was about to go home. Seeing that she was still drinking tea leisurely and had no intention of leaving at all, he couldn't help but ask her: "Are you really not going back?"

"Um!"

Zhuo Jian was very sure.

Another female colleague who hosts the midday news is from this city and will not miss work during the Chinese New Year.

When she talked to the female colleague on the phone, she decided not to go back.

"But I'm leaving too. You're the only one here."

Ouyang Ping thought, this is too miserable.

"This is not the first time that I have spent the New Year alone outside. I used to miss my mother, but now I don't even have the only one to miss. It's nice to be here."

Zhuo Jian replied to her calmly.

Ouyang Ping pulled up the suitcase and put it aside, and couldn't help but stare at her: "Does Fu Yanye know you won't go back?"

Zhuo Jian thought for a while and reminded her: "I don't know, so when you go back this time, if you see him or Brother Su Bai, and they want to ask, just say that I have something to deal with and go back on New Year's Eve."

"Why?"

Ouyang Ping was puzzled.

"Otherwise it will be very troublesome."

Zhuo Jian's heart was in mid-air, she didn't want to meet him.

"Trouble? Do you mean trouble because you are afraid that Fu Yanye will come and take you back?"

"..."

After Zhuo Jian heard what she said, she just smiled lightly, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Ouyang Ping sighed: "You are really capable. You know that the big Fu family is going to have a reunion dinner during the New Year, so you want me to lie to him, so that if you can't go back on New Year's Eve, he won't have time to take you back."

Already."

"Okay, when you come back, I'll treat you to a drink."

Zhuo Jian thought about it, it had been a long time since the two of them had a good drink.

Ouyang Ping still couldn't help but look at her deeply and leave her alone here. In fact, Ouyang Ping couldn't bear it, but there were still parents in the country waiting for her to be a member of the group, and she couldn't make her parents sad.

Zhuo Jian's cell phone rang. The two of them looked down at the coffee table. Zhuo Jian picked it up and looked at it. It was Fu Yanye.

He asked her, "What time will you get home?"

Zhuo Jian felt hot and thought for a few seconds before putting down the phone again.

Ouyang Ping looked at her and couldn't help but sighed again: "Why don't you reply to him?"

"No need to reply."

"Then he will definitely continue to send it, and maybe..."

Before Ouyang Ping's speculation was over, Zhuo Jian's cell phone rang, and it was Fu Yanye's call.

Ouyang Ping couldn't help but laugh after seeing it.

Zhuo Jian pressed the switch to mute the sound.

"Why don't we go back together? Since the whole world knows you are husband and wife now, it's appropriate for you two to celebrate the New Year together."

"It will be very troublesome to go back. You should leave quickly. The car will pick you up."

Zhuo Jian said and looked out the window.

Sure enough, there are already rentals waiting outside.

Ouyang Ping had to leave. After Zhuo Jian sent her to the car, she stood at the door and watched the car turn a corner. She unconsciously put her hands in the back pockets of her jeans and walked slowly along the roadside.

Why does the winter here seem to be colder than in City A?

Zhuo Jian was wearing a light-colored turtleneck sweater and walked casually for a while before returning to the apartment.

Well! If you're in the room, you won't feel the cold anymore.

It was only when she went back that she discovered that Fu Yanye had already called her three times and sent seven WeChat messages, not including three voice and video messages.

Zhuo Jian clicked on his profile picture and wanted to block him, but stopped in the end.

She thought to herself that now was not the time.

Let him think she got on a plane.

Zhuo Jian set Do Not Disturb on his WeChat account and blocked his phone calls.
