80: The black-bellied officer read my mind and fell in love with me

Chapter 65: Celebrating the New Year Together

Zhou Jinchuan closed the bedroom door and walked quickly to Su Yi, "I'll take you back."

Just when Su Yi was about to say no, she saw that he had already stepped out first.

After locking the door, the two of them walked to the dormitory one after another.

"It's snowing!"

Seeing large snowflakes suddenly falling, Su Yi, who grew up in the south, excitedly reached out to catch them.

Zhou Jinchuan also stood still and turned to look at her.

Under the dim yellow street lights, snowflakes scattered like catkins and landed on her hair.

Zhou Jinchuan grew up in Beijing, where it often snowed every winter.

I didn't find anything strange.

She, on the other hand, was as excited as if she had never seen snow before.

Su Yi admired the snow for a while, and then suddenly remembered that Zhou Jinchuan was still waiting for him in front.

Then he hurried forward quickly.

Unexpectedly, the ground had become slippery, and the sole of my foot slipped without paying attention.

Just when Su Yi thought he was about to have a close contact with the earth, the next second his arm was suddenly pulled tightly by someone.

Su Yi quickly stood up straight, "Thank you!"

Zhou Jinchuan curled his lips imperceptibly, "Are you going back?"

Su Yi nodded quickly, "I'm going back."

After saying that, he walked towards the stairs with small steps.

It was past lights-out time, and the lights in the corridors and stairs had been extinguished.

Su Yi walked halfway through the darkness when he suddenly heard a click and a faint firelight lit up the stairwell.

Su Yi turned around and saw that Zhou Jinchuan had followed him.

"It's too dark. I'll take you to the door."

Su Yi said oh and led the way.

The corridor that usually lasted only a few steps seemed extremely long today.

Su Yi stood still in front of the door, looking at Zhou Jinchuan still holding a lighter, with a layer of moisture on his hair and shoulders.

Su Yi suddenly felt embarrassed and politely said,

"Would you like to come in and get a cup of hot water to warm yourself up?"

Zhou Jinchuan paused and said, "That's fine."

Su Yi didn't put out the fire when she went out at night, so the room was still warm.

As soon as she entered the house, Su Yi took off her cotton-padded jacket that was slightly damp from the snow, leaving only her gray sweater.

Then he found another dry towel and handed it to Zhou Jinchuan, "It's clean. Wipe it quickly."

Zhou Jinchuan glanced at the gray sweater she was wearing out of the corner of his eye and felt that it looked familiar.

Thinking of the gray scarf Xiao Wu gave him yesterday.

It suddenly dawned on me.

He took the towel and wiped his head as usual, raising the corners of his mouth where she couldn't see him.

Before Su Yi realized anything, she hurriedly poured two glasses of water from the stove and placed them on the table, "You should drink the hot water first."

Zhou Jinchuan hummed and sat down, then pointed at the two bottles of milk on the table and asked, "What are these?"

Su Yi answered truthfully, "I made rice wine."

"No drinking in the dormitory."

"This is rice wine. How can rice wine be considered wine?"

Zhou Jinchuan smiled lightly, "Okay!"

Su Yi raised his eyebrows, feeling a little unconvinced by this tone.

He immediately stood up and took a cup, poured half a cup and handed it to him, "Try it, it really can't be considered wine, it's just a drink at most."

Zhou Jinchuan glanced at her with a smile in his eyes, "Do you want me to try my own way to exonerate you?"

Su Yi laughed dryly, "Then don't drink."

As he was about to take the cup back, Zhou Jinchuan moved a step faster and had already picked it up to taste it.

"Hmm, not bad."

Seeing that he had given it a good review, Su couldn't help but smile and said, "Would you like some heat?"

"No, it's just cool this way."

Su noticed that he liked drinking it very much, and suddenly he became a little greedy.

In addition, I was in a hurry to go out at night, so I didn't eat much.

Then he picked up his teapot and poured half a cup, "It's really delicious."

Zhou Jinchuan asked with a smile, "Does this count as Wang Po selling melons?"

"It's my first time to drink it too. I've never brewed it well before."

Originally, Su Yi planned to hide and have two drinks alone when he came back in the evening.

It’s New Year’s Eve after all.

For this reason, she specially stewed a pot of braised food in advance.

I didn't expect that Zhou Jinchuan would be invited here by accident. Now the two of them are drinking together like this, which is more interesting than alone.

In addition, it was still snowing outside, and Su Yi's interest increased inexplicably.

"I also have braised meat here, would you like some?"

Zhou Jinchuan looked at the small pot on the table and nodded, "That's fine."

In fact, he had smelled it just now and was too embarrassed to ask what it was.

Seeing that he was not polite, Su quickly put the small pot on the stove, and after a while, he started simmering again.

"Xiao Wu and Nuan Nuan won't wake up, right?"

"Have you ever seen them get up in the middle of the night?"

"Haha, that's true."

The two chatted incessantly, and Su Yi put the pot on the table.

"Try it, there are shiitake mushrooms, quail eggs, duck gizzards, wing tips, and potato slices."

Su Yi originally planned to stew pig's trotters, but later she couldn't buy any, so she replaced them with these.

Otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

With the appetizers in hand, the two of them quickly drank up a bottle of rice wine.

Su Yi felt a little pain in her body, and it would be gone if she drank more, but she was too embarrassed to stop it openly.

So he asked, "I drank too much rice wine and got drunk. How are you? Are you drunk?"

Zhou Jinchuan glanced at her with dark eyes and muttered softly, "It's really annoying."

Su Yi didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

"Nothing."

The four looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little weird for a moment.

Zhou Jinchuan twisted his fingers and forcibly changed the subject, "I heard that Deputy Company Commander Qin and Comrade Bai are going to have a wedding banquet in two days. Did they go to the cafeteria to bother you before?"

"It's not a bother. Later, the price was not negotiated, so they asked Chef Wang to do it."

"That's good. They are getting married, and you seem very happy?"

Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and laughed dryly, "Really? Is it obvious? It's okay!"

[I just want to make a fuss out of joy. ]

[Not only am I happy, you should be happy too, after all, it can be regarded as helping you get rid of Bai Ruolin's entanglement for the rest of your life. ]

[After they get married, I will retire and maybe I can leave. ]

When Zhou Jinchuan heard the first part, he kept his head down and smiled faintly, until he heard the second part, he suddenly looked up at her.

Leave? Where to?

Before Zhou Jinchuan could think of how to ask, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Su Yi, are you there?"

Su Yi and Zhou Jinchuan looked at each other. Is it Qin Yunfeng?

Why is he here?

Su Yi didn't want to pay attention to him, but she was afraid that his voice would wake up the people around him.

So she replied softly, "I'm asleep. If there's anything, we can talk tomorrow."

Qin Yunfeng didn't seem to give up, and called her name softly, "I have something important to tell you now."

Su Yi was confused.

But she still stood up, opened the door a little, and then asked in a low voice, "What important thing?"
