Tong Che was a little tipsy …
As he walked alone in the winter night, the snowflakes that fell on his face felt cold, as if it could help him get rid of the tipsy feeling.
The Tian Xiner looked at his tall and slender back and sighed softly.
Suddenly, she felt someone pat her from behind. She turned around and saw Ni Dahai standing under the hotel's lights with a gentle smile on his face. "Hey, what are you looking at?"
He took the opportunity to look around and asked, "Has your brother left?"
The Tian Xiner nodded and said, "He's gone!"
"Isn't his car still here?"
"Huh? He probably doesn't want to take the car. He probably wants to relax and think about some things seriously. "
Ni Dahai pursed his lips and said, "He should think about it carefully. To be honest with you, although I don't get along with Yun Jingting, I agree with her views on this matter. Your brother is a wishy-washy person. He's ambiguous when it comes to relationships. This will only hurt others and himself."
"…"
"Also, I can't stand his attitude towards you. He keeps you at home all day …"
The Tian Xiner raised her chin and said, "Big Brother Ni, I respect you a lot, but if you speak ill of my brother, don't blame me for being rude!"
"How am I speaking ill of him? I'm just telling the truth! "
Ni Dahai was a straightforward person and said whatever was on his mind. Besides, he did have some objections to Tong Che's attitude. Since they had already brought it up, he might as well say it directly. "I think that Tong Che is two-timing you by keeping you by his side! I just want to … "
The Tian Xiner shouted, "Shut up!"
Ni Dahai was so frightened that he trembled. He was afraid that she would poison him, so he couldn't help but take a step back. He raised one hand in front of his chest to protect himself. "What? Are you going to bite me? "
The Tian Xiner looked at him and laughed. She lowered her voice and said, "Big Brother Ni, I don't agree with what you're saying. Although my brother and I aren't related by blood, he has never done anything inappropriate to me. We're like family. Let me ask you, if you had a younger sister, would you want to take care of her?"
Ni Dahai muttered softly, "It would be great if it was a younger sister! I'm afraid that he can't figure out his feelings and can't let go! "
Tian Xin 'er began to defend her again. "Forget it! Forget it! My brother didn't commit murder or arson, nor has he done anything immoral! Just because he's single, you're randomly suspecting him? Do you have to give him a girlfriend? Is he a jerk? Who he likes and how he wants to live his life … What does that have to do with you? Let me tell you, Big Brother Ni, don't always say bad things about him. Otherwise, I'll fall out with you! "
Ni Dahai knew the Tian Xiner's character. She was loyal and would protect the people around her without hesitation. If he wanted to continue being friends with her, he had to take a step back. "Okay! Okay! I won't talk about it anymore! "
He nudged her with his shoulder. "Tell me the truth. Do you want to continue waiting for Mi Xaing 'er at the restaurant or go home? If you want to go home, I'll give you a ride! "
The Tian Xiner smiled with her eyes squinted. "I want to go home! Why should I wait for Mi Xaing 'er? Third Brother Yun is here, and the two of them are being affectionate. Why should I join in the fun? I said that just now because I want my brother … to have his own space! "
She was so understanding.
Ni Dahai lowered his head and sighed. "Sometimes I think you're smart, but sometimes I think you're stupid! You can reach out and get it, but you seem to turn a blind eye to it! "
The Tian Xiner blinked her big eyes. "What are you talking about?"
"I don't know!" Ni Dahai answered in a fit of pique. "Think about it yourself. If you don't understand, then forget it! Let's go! I'll take you home! "

When Tong Che arrived at Yun Jingqi's house, he didn't go upstairs immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a while and lit a cigarette. He looked up at the yellow light in Yun Jingqi's room and felt a myriad of emotions. It was as if he had suddenly returned to the time when they were young and dating.
He didn't know how much time had passed …
When the flame on the cigarette burned his fingers, he threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stamped it out with his foot. He looked down and saw a layer of snow on the shoulders of his coat.
Tong Che brushed it off gracefully.
Then he walked slowly into the corridor and went up the stairs. He took a deep breath in front of Yun Jingqi's door and raised his hand to gently knock on the door.
Second Sister Yun was home alone!
To be honest …
Ever since she came back from recuperation this time, she suddenly felt that she had nowhere to go!
In the past, every New Year, she could at least stay at her father's place. That place could at least be considered home. But this year, Commander Yun's mansion was filled with sorrow. Shen Xiaofeng had passed away, Jiang Tingting was missing, and his ex-wife was gradually drifting away …
Yun Mocheng was so lonely that she seemed to have suddenly aged ten years. Yun Jingqi's heart ached for her, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only avoid her.
She originally thought that since her mother had been rehabilitated, they could get closer, right?
Magic Doctor Xiao had moved over. She felt that she would be a "third wheel" if she went over, so she tactfully tried not to disturb them. As for her younger brother's place, there was no need to mention it. They were a young couple, so of course, they needed some space to be alone.
So … at this "New Year's Eve" when the whole family should be reunited, Second Sister Yun felt particularly lonely. She looked at the year on the calendar again. She was already 32 years old, but she was still alone. She couldn't help but feel a little sad.
She simply flipped through some letters and photos from the past to pass the time.
Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door …
She looked up at the clock on the wall and couldn't help but feel a little stunned … She didn't have many visitors, so who could it be at this time of the night?
She hurriedly got up and opened the door.
She looked up and saw Tong Che standing in the hallway … She couldn't see his expression in the dim light, only a pair of bright black eyes and snow-white canine teeth by his lips.
Yun Jingqi was momentarily stunned.
She couldn't believe her eyes. She clenched her fists and rubbed her eyes like a child. She shook her head and looked up again. Tong Che's smile was even wider, and his voice was deep and sexy. "What are you doing?"
His tone was so familiar that it was as if they had suddenly returned to ten years ago.
Yun Jingqi was dumbfounded. "Tong Che? It's really you? Why are you here? "
Tong Che raised his eyebrows. "Why? Are you not letting me into the house? Are we going to talk in the hallway? "
He paused slightly. "Or is it because it's not convenient for you at home? Am I being presumptuous?"
Yun Jingqi moved aside embarrassedly. "What are you talking about? I'm just a little surprised for a moment! I can't believe … Yes, a busy person like you would suddenly come! I heard that you've been promoted again? It's very heavy work. "
Tong Che laughed awkwardly. "I can tell. Are you scolding me?"
He didn't continue the conversation about his promotion and work. He walked past Yun Jingqi … and entered the house.
A gust of cold wind blew past …
Second Sister Yun sniffled and couldn't help but ask, "Did you drink?"
Tong Che turned sideways. "Yes? I drank a little! "
"I think you smoked too, right?"
"Yes? I think so! "
Tong Che stood elegantly in the middle of the living room. He didn't sit down. He turned around and looked directly at her with genuine concern in his eyes. "Xiaoqi, how's your recovery? Did you have a good New Year? "
This simple opening was in line with Tong Che's personality. It was a little bold and unconstrained. Who knew how far it would go?
Yun Jingqi calmly collected her flustered state of mind and pointed to the sofa generously. "Have a seat. Let's talk after sitting down!"
She turned around and walked into the kitchen. "I'll make you a cup of tea to sober up."
Tong Che's voice was deep. "I'm not drunk."
Yun Jingqi didn't answer. She grabbed a handful of longjing tea leaves from the can and put it into a celadon cup. She poured hot water and covered the cup before returning to the living room. However, she didn't pass the cup to Tong Che. Instead, she placed it on the coffee table and glanced at him from the corner of her eye. "Why aren't you sitting down?"
Tong Che pondered for a moment before sitting down … His back was ramrod straight, and his fair hands were casually placed on either side of his body. His long black socks and shiny leather shoes were exposed under his well-ironed trousers. He had the aura of a successful man.
He coughed softly. His gaze wandered aimlessly around the living room. His gaze inadvertently fell on the photo frame on the bookshelf. He couldn't help but take a closer look at it.
Yun Jingqi followed his gaze and turned back. Smiling shyly, she said, "You know that I like to play with photos. Everyone who is related to me … or has been related to me in the past, I want to keep a souvenir of them! Your photo is also here. I remember that you had just returned to China to teach at a university. You were particularly high-spirited! "
Tong Che nodded. "Yes. I was really young at that time. It felt like … my previous life!"
Previous life?
Yun Jingqi was a smart person. She immediately realized … that this might be the real purpose of his visit.
