In the early morning, Jiang Yingchu was awakened by the cold.

The cold outside the window was filled with coldness, and the misty mist filled the window glass outside, covering the transparent glass with a thick layer of white mist, making people unable to see the weather and scenery outside. But you don’t have to think about it, it will be cold outside.

She pulled her quilt in a daze, and once again got into the warm quilt to sleep peacefully.

After sleeping for a few minutes, Jiang Yingchu suddenly woke up and reached out to touch the location next to her. Xu Yingru was no longer there.

Because she would come here often, Jiang Yingchu also has her own room here, but she chatted with Xu Yingru for a long time last night. The mother and daughter may not have spoken so considerately for a long time. As they spoke, they fell asleep.

Although Jiang Yingchu has grown up, she doesn’t sleep much with Xu Yingru, but she doesn’t have much time to sleep with Xu Yingru. She always regards family affection as a treasure and maintains it carefully, hoping that neither side will be ignored.

Looking at the cold bed, she rubbed her eyebrows and listened to the movement outside.

Jiang Yingchu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she got up from the bed excitedly and walked outside. After seeing the person in the kitchen, she was still a little surprised: "Mom, have you not gone to the hospital?"

Xu Yingru looked at her with a funny look: "Today's evening shift, didn't you tell you yesterday?"

"Ah?" Jiang Yingchu was stunned and didn't react: "I forgot." She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have said this, but because she was too excited last night, she almost forgot about it.

Xu Yingru pointed: "Go to wash first, eat breakfast before going to bed."

Jiang Yingchu hesitated a little: "When will you go to the hospital?"

Although Xu Yingru said that it was late shift, she usually stayed in the hospital from morning to end when the Chinese New Year was approaching, and she rarely divided her morning shift and evening shift.

Xu Yingru smiled: "It's time to go at noon, and I'll go there after dinner at home."

"But I..." She hesitated for a moment and said carefully: "I'm going out later."

"Huh?" Xu Yingru looked at her, "Do you go shopping with Xiaoqi? OK, then my mother will not eat at home at noon."

Jiang Yingchu: "..." She thought about it, but she still didn't plan to say that she and Gu Xiuzhu went out, and she would wait until she thought about how to explain.

She turned around and returned to the room silently. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Jiang Yingchu poured herself a large cup of hot water, and then she felt much warmer. She held the cup of hot water in both hands and looked at Xu Yingru making fried eggs. She couldn't help but ask: "Then are you going to come back tomorrow morning?"

"Yes." Xu Yingru paused and looked at her: "Will you be afraid of being alone at night? Should you let Xiaoqi come and accompany you?"

"No," Jiang Yingchu smiled: "Not afraid."

Xu Yingru nodded, drooping her eyelids and looking at the fried eggs in the pan, suddenly shouting to her: "Your dad called me last night."

Jiang Yingchu was stunned, and his eyes were a little disappointed: "And what."

"Unhappy?"

"No."

Xu Yingru smiled, reached out and patted her head, and said softly: "If you are not used to it there, come to your mother's place at any time, but you should pay attention to what you can't eat next time. Even if the younger brother acts coquettishly, you can't give it to him. This time it's your fault." She said patiently: "Children do not have self-control and will not think about the consequences of eating it themselves. However, as sisters, parents must firmly stand on their own. If they can't eat, they can't eat it."

She whispered: "I know you are good to him and treat him well. You can't be soft-hearted just because he acts coquettishly with you. Do you know?"

What Xu Yingru said is just that she doesn’t want to make Jiang Yingchu feel sad when she encounters such a thing in the future. Reorganizing her family will make it difficult for her to live in it. If she doesn’t do it well, neither side will be human.

She might have a good relationship with that younger brother, but how old is that younger brother, what can he know?

Jiang Yingchu listened, bit her lower lip and agreed: "Okay, I understand."

Xu Yingru smiled and said, "Go out and have breakfast."

"Um."

——

The two sat face to face, Jiang Yingchu was eating breakfast casually, occasionally taking a look at the time.

"When did you make an appointment with Xiaoqi?"

"I didn't make an appointment with Xiaoqi."

"Huh?" Xu Yingru looked at her in surprise and asked, "Thank you to Shiyan?"

"Not that." Jiang Yingchu looked at her hesitantly: "I'll tell you next time."

Xu Yingru smiled, handed her the milk next to her, and joked: "Okay, my daughter has her own little secret."

She is a relatively enlightened parent. She basically doesn't care much about her daughter's whereabouts. As long as she is safe, she will not keep asking the questions to the end.

After breakfast, Jiang Yingchu went back to her room and quickly changed her clothes. Xu Yingru was slightly surprised when she saw the clothes she was wearing.

"Mom, is it good-looking?"

Xu Yingru smiled: "Isn't this the clothes I bought for you last year? You have never been reluctant to wear them."

Jiang Yingchu was instantly exposed to her little thoughts, her whole face was as red as her clothes. She opened her mouth and said, "Is that so? I don't want to wear it, there's no chance."

Xu Yingru burst out laughing, tidied up her collar, and said with a smile: "Do you want me to send you there?"

"No, no."

"Okay, then you should be safe."

"OK."

Jiang Yingchu ran out of the door excitedly until after going downstairs, Xu Yingru was still watching the lively figure who had just arrived downstairs of the community on the balcony, and the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.

...

The place Gu Xiuzhu sent her was in a building in the city center, so she could just be in the lobby before 10 o'clock.

Jiang Yingchu went out pretty early. It was only 9:30 when she arrived at the building. She looked around and the decoration inside looked very high-end. She didn't dare to walk in. After hesitating for a while, she still called Gu Xiuzhu.

"Senior Gu." Jiang Yingchu looked inside on tiptoe, and there were still many staff members walking back and forth.

Gu Xiuzhu chuckled, looked at the figure not far away and raised her eyebrows: "Have you arrived?"

"No." Jiang Yingchu coughed and said in a low voice: "I'm asking if you're here, I'm not late."

"Yeah."

“Yes, yes.”

Gu Xiuzhu walked to Jiang Yingchu's hand and hung up the phone directly. She took her cell phone from behind her ear with her slender fingers. She turned her head to look at Jiang Yingchu with a shocked look. He smiled and said, "Lieing is not something that elementary school girls would do."

Jiang Yingchu: “…”

He whispered, "Afraid that I'm worried?"

Jiang Yingchu's face turned red, all of which was exposed by him. She uttered vaguely: "Yes."

She was indeed worried that Gu Xiuzhu was worried that he would come too early. What if he was not that fast and anxious, so he lied. Unexpectedly, Gu Xiuzhu saw all the few lies in his life and was caught.

Thinking about it now, Jiang Yingchu feels that in Gu Xiuzhu's impression, he is just a little liar.

Gu Xiuzhu smiled and gently patted her head without thinking and comforting her: "Have you had breakfast?"

"have eaten."

"I haven't eaten yet." Gu Xiuzhu pointed to a shop next to her: "Eat something with me?"

"good."

She couldn't ask for anything.

——

It was cold and the cold outside became worse and worse. Jiang Yingchu looked at the weather forecast with her mobile phone and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that it will snow in two days."

"Will you still go out in a few days?"

She shook her head, looked up at the person who was elegant in eating opposite her, swallowed and said, "I won't go out, see if there is anything." After a pause, Jiang Yingchu asked softly: "Senior Gu, when will you go back?"

“Not decided yet.”

"ah?"

Gu Xiuzhu smiled: "See if this matter is going well today, if it goes well, go back early."

Jiang Yingchu said a little depressed: "Is it tomorrow?"

"See one more."

"What?"

"See if my junior sister wants to introduce her hometown to me." Gu Xiuzhu asked with a low smile: "There seems to be a lot of tourist scenic spots here. Do you have time to take Senior Gu for a walk?"

"Of course there is!" Jiang Yingchu answered quickly.

After answering, she suddenly felt that she had agreed too quickly, and quickly coughed in disguise: "As long as Senior Gu is willing, it's OK."

Gu Xiuzhu smiled and looked at her meaningfully, "Okay."

After breakfast, the two went to the company together. As the holiday approached, there were not many employees in the company. Jiang Yingchu basically sat next to him to help Gu Xiuzhu. Occasionally, she could understand some professional rankings, but she didn't understand them deeply.

She looked up at the person who was communicating with others, and felt that Gu Xiuzhu's voice was a little deeper when discussing the contract than when talking to her, and she sounded more mature. His face was grim, and occasionally with a smile, which made people feel very comfortable. Occasionally, he looked at the contract with his eyelids drooping, and then asked his own questions one by one. As she listened, she couldn't help but think of what Song Jiaxi said to her last night.

——You have to test it.

The answer in her heart was about to come out, as if she was about to be imprisoned in a cage, she would always think about the aspect she expected.

But the question is, how should she test it?

After thinking of thousands of test methods in my mind, Jiang Yingchu didn't expect a suitable one. She was distracted when she suddenly heard Gu Xiuzhu calling her name: "Jiang Yingchu."

"Ah?" She came back to her senses and looked at the two people in front of her.
