Ye Xinyi suddenly felt uneasy. This guy was only wearing a sweater and was freezing.
Just as he was uneasy, Qiao Liang sneezed a few more times.
Ye Xinyi felt even more uneasy.
After finally arriving at the service area restaurant, Ye Xinyi wanted to take off her down jacket and give it to Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang saw that there was no heating in the restaurant and it was as cold as an ice cellar. She secretly cursed the poor service in the service area and waved her hand: "Don't take it off, keep wearing it."
.”
"If you wear too little, you will catch a cold." Ye Xinyi said.
"It's okay, just have some hot rice."
"But..." Ye Xinyi felt too overwhelmed.
Qiao Liang glared: "It's nothing, hurry up and eat, and you'll be warm when you get back to the car after eating."
Seeing Qiao Liang like this, Ye Xinyi had no choice but to listen to him, and felt that this guy was so domineering.
The two had hot noodles in the service area. When they came out, Qiao Liang went to the supermarket to buy a few bottles of coffee, and then hurried back with Ye Xinyi.
Now the snow was getting heavier and the snow on the ground was getting thicker. The two of them trudged hard in the snow. After walking for a while, Ye Xinyi was panting from exhaustion and stopped and said: "I really can't walk anymore. You
Let’s get back in the car to warm up first, and I’ll take a rest before leaving.”
Seeing how heavy the wind and snow were, Qiao Liang was worried that it would be unsafe for Ye Xinyi to walk alone, so he stopped in front of Ye Xinyi and bent down: "Come up, I will carry you back."
"Don't……"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!" Qiao Liang ordered again.
Ye Xinyi couldn't help but listen to Qiao Liang's words, and lay on Qiao Liang's back. Qiao Liang carried her on his back and strode forward, saying loudly as he walked: "Actually, I'm quite warm when you lie on top of me."
Hearing what Qiao Liang said, Ye Xinyi subconsciously lay down tighter and put her arms around Qiao Liang's neck, trying to help him keep out the cold.
Ye Xinyi's hair tickled Qiao Liang's ears, and her hot breath could be felt on her neck.
Although her body was very cold, Qiao Liang felt warm in her heart. It had been a long time since she had such close contact with Ye Xinyi.
After walking to the car for a long time, the two of them hurriedly got into the car, started the car, and turned on the heater.
"Emma, it's still warm in the car." Qiao Liang just finished speaking and sneezed several times in succession.
"You've caught a cold." Ye Xinyi looked at Qiao Liang, feeling both uneasy and moved.
"I'm not that squeamish." Qiao Liang said, opening a bottle of coffee and drinking it. He was going to stay up late tonight to feel refreshed.
At this time, the traffic queue started to move.
Qiao Liang said while driving: "Very good, the roadblock ahead should be cleared. As long as there is no more traffic jam, we can reach Beijing before dawn."
Ye Xinyi turned on her mobile phone and checked the weather forecast: "It will light up when we leave Jiangdong Province, but it won't snow over there in Beijing."
Qiao Liang was relieved when he heard that. Seeing the speed of the car in front of him, he stepped on the accelerator and followed.
After passing Huangyuan, we drove for more than two hours, and when we left the border of Jiangdong Province at around 1 a.m., the snow really lightened up. After driving for another half day, there was only sporadic light snow.
Qiao Liang felt cold and hot all over his body at this moment, secretly thinking, "Oh no, I really have a cold."
As my body became unwell, my eyelids began to tremble, and the excitement from the coffee I just drank wore off.
"Minister Ye——"
"Yeah." Ye Xinyi agreed.
"Can you drive?"
"Yes, I've had my driver's license for two years."
"Driving on the highway?"
"rare."
"Driving overnight on the highway?"
"without."
Qiao Liang secretly felt bad, it seemed that she could not let her take over the driving.
Ye Xinyi was a little embarrassed: "Are you tired? Why don't you go to the service area in front and sleep for a while before leaving?"
Qiao Liang shook his head. He couldn't sleep at this time. He wouldn't be able to get up as soon as he fell asleep. He had to insist on going to Beijing.
"Give me another bottle of coffee."
Ye Xinyi took the coffee, opened it and handed it to Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang drank it in one gulp and then wiped his mouth: "No need to sleep, no problem. You can get some sleep, otherwise you won't have the energy to report to Minister Xu tomorrow."
"No, I'll chat with you." Ye Xinyi said, but her eyelids couldn't help but start fighting.
"Let's listen to some music." Qiao Liang turned on the stereo, and a soothing serenade sounded.
Listening to this music, Ye Xinyi leaned back on the chair and fell asleep without realizing it.
Qiao Liang turned to look at Ye Xinyi, who was sleeping soundly, and laughed silently. After all, this woman couldn't hold on any longer.
At this time, Qiao Liang's body continued to be hot and cold, and waves of soreness and fatigue pervaded his body. However, the coffee he just drank made his mind a little excited. He insisted on holding on, holding the steering wheel tightly, and tried to open his eyes wide to watch.
The road ahead.
The night was long and the road was long. In this cold winter night, Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi drove straight to Beijing.
At dawn, Qiao Liang finally drove into Beijing. Ye Xinyi had already booked a hotel near the Central Party School. Qiao Liang followed the navigation prompts and went straight to the hotel.
The car stopped in the hotel parking lot. Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he lost all strength and fell asleep on the steering wheel.
Ye Xinyi woke up and reached out to touch Qiao Liang's forehead. She was surprised, it was hot!
Ye Xinyi quickly went to the hotel to get a room, then came over and carried Qiao Liang upstairs to the room. As soon as she entered the door, Qiao Liang was spinning, fell down on the bed with a "thump", and fell asleep immediately.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but Qiao Liang heard someone calling her vaguely. She reluctantly opened her eyes and saw Ye Xinyi's anxious and concerned face.
Qiao Liang was feeling hot all over, his lips were chapped, and his throat seemed to be smoking.
"Here, drink the medicine." Ye Xinyi looked at Qiao Liang while holding the prepared cold medicine.
Qiao Liang tried his best to sit up against the head of the bed, took the cup from Ye Xinyi's hand, and tried it. It was neither hot nor cold, just right.
Qiao Liang drank it all in one gulp, then looked at Ye Xinyi and said feebly: "You just opened this one room?"
Ye Xinyi wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. This guy is already like this and he still thinks about this.
"Two rooms, I'm next to you."
"Did you buy cold medicine?"
"Yeah." Ye Xinyi nodded.
"What time is it?"
Ye Xinyi raised her wrist and looked at her watch: "9 o'clock in the morning."
"Have you contacted Minister Xu?"
"We got in touch. He went to visit a state-owned enterprise as a group this morning and won't be back until this afternoon."
Qiao Liang nodded and shook his head, feeling a headache.
"It seems I have to continue sleeping." As soon as Qiao Liang's head hit the pillow, he fell asleep again.
Ye Xinyi looked at Qiao Liang sleeping soundly, and felt guilty and moved. It was all thanks to Qiao Liang that she could get to Beijing today.
Ye Xinyi did not go back to her room, but lay on another bed with her clothes on. Waiting until noon, she woke up Qiao Liang, took the medicine, and ordered takeout.
Qiao Liang looked at the bed next to him and looked at Ye Xinyi: "Why don't you book a double bed room?"
Ye Xinyi was startled: "The double bed room is gone, there are only standard rooms."
Qiao Liang was a little regretful. If it was a double bed room, since Ye Xinyi took care of her and didn't go back to the room, wouldn't she be able to sleep next to her?
Ye Xinyi didn't guess what Qiao Liang was thinking at this time, and thought he thought the bed in the standard room was too small and uncomfortable to sleep on, so she said: "I'll go to the front desk later and ask if there is a room with a double bed available.
Please change rooms."
"Don't bother, this is not bad." Qiao Liang waved his hands and thought to himself, his cold is almost gone, and there is no chance of changing to a double bed room.
At this time, the takeout was delivered. Qiao Liang got out of bed, had dinner with Ye Xinyi, and walked around the room.
"How do you feel now?" Ye Xinyi looked at Qiao Liang.
"The fever is gone, the headache is gone, and I'm basically healed." Qiao Liang shook his head.
"Really?" Ye Xinyi said.
"If you don't believe me, just touch it." Qiao Liang came over and bent down.
