Chapter 1141: He is Warm in Winter and Cool in Summer
He had been so domineering at that time that it startled her. However, it was also because he was worried about her.
Afterwards, he was really gentle with her, indulging her and pampering her, cleaning up after her mess, and feeling his heart ache for her...
“I want to know if I need to go and pay for the heating costs?”
“No need. You don’t have to pay any fees. Our condominium is a residence provided by the political department, so all costs will be covered by them.”
“Oh, so that’s how it works.”
Xie Limo continued worriedly, “Since it’s snowing, the weather will be a little cold. The house might be cold as well. Remember to turn on the air conditioner. Don’t catch a cold.”
Yun Bixue softly exhaled as she replied, “I almost forgot about the air conditioner.”
Xie Limo rubbed his head and sighed resignedly. He had always been the one turning on the air conditioner and maintaining the temperature in the house. She had never needed to worry about that. He did not expect that this would cause her to forget about the air conditioner altogether.
As Xie Limo continued to remind her about this and that, Yun Bixue revealed a gentle smile and said, “Limo, actually, you’re my air conditioner. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter. With you around, the bed will definitely be warm, so there’s no need to turn on the air-con.”
As she said that, Yun Bixue’s eyes glimmered. She patted her chest where her heart was at. If he was beside her now, she would definitely have been swallowed whole by him.
Xie Limo’s heart clenched. A strong, passionate yearning and love for her splashed out like waves in his heart. Even though the wind was howling and everywhere was covered in snow where he was, a slight burning sensation still arose in his heart.
It was a lie to say that she did not miss him. Only he knew how deep their relationship was.
“Xue, you’re tempting me, do you know that?”
“I know, so you must come back quickly.”
After thinking for a bit, Yun Bixue still said, “I know you will still prioritize your work responsibilities. I also hope that the citizens in Gui County can be safe. I will be your strongest pillar of support. If the country needs it, I will donate all that I can.”
“Okay, don’t tire yourself out.”
“Oh, by the way, is this your new number? Do I just call this number next time?”
“This is not my phone. I borrowed it from someone. Perhaps after a while, the team will gather and split into different groups again. You might not be able to contact me on this number. Just be good and wait for my call, okay? If I don’t contact you, it means that all is well. Do you understand?”
Yun Bixue bit her lip and answered, “I understand, but I still want to talk more with you.” She never knew there could be a time where she would want to hang on to a call for so long. In fact, it was only because the person on the other end of the call was her husband.
After passing by a small road, Xie Limo and his teammates reached a temporary base camp. Many things needed to be settled right afterwards, so he could only take the chance to call her while they were walking.
“Xue, I reached the base camp. I will call you back again. Sleep early, alright? Goodnight.”
Yun Bixue’s heart ached for him, but she was not one to be unreasonable. She thought that if she said a word less, it could probably help a citizen in Gui County. Hence, she could only reply reluctantly, “Goodnight!”
Xie Limo’s exquisite face was freezing so much that it was turning a little red. His lips were a little parched as well. He took a handful of snow to moisten his lips first before continuing to help everyone shift things around. A small group of them would be going to the mountain area in a while to check out the situation first, while the rest of the crew were to transport the first batch of aid resources to the villages.
Although he had reported the situation here to the higher-ups, Majesty Kang decided not to release reports about the villages being covered by snow. He was afraid that this would alarm people. Hence, the train accident was used as a cover while the rescue team carried on their rescue operations.
