It’s Colder Today

Sixteen Degrees Part 2

He then asked Jiang Xuyang why he suddenly bought a Kawasaki.

”In a traffic jam, I’ll be stuck if I’m in a car. My dad recently set up an attendance check for me, and I’m not allowed to be late.” Jiang Xuyang said while crying on the inside. Once, he was stuck at the traffic light near the company. At that time, he was only three minutes away from work, but he couldn’t just ditch the car on the road.

Xiang Shaoyuan spoke sarcastically: “Do you think that the income you’ve brought in for your company since you started working is enough to buy a Kawasaki? Besides, didn’t your old man buy a flying car? You won’t catch a ride with him?”

After he finished speaking, Xiang Shaoyuan felt that something was wrong, so he changed his words: “Catch a flight with him?”

Jiang Xuyang refused: “Wouldn’t I not have any freedom after work then?”

The three of them had chatted for a while, but Lin Fang was still thinking about whether Wei Congying and Xiang Shaoyuan, who had kept some cards, were tricking him.

In the end, he was “forced to make a move” by the other three people, and they weren’t satisfied until after giving him a scolding.

During the game, Wei Congying was asked about his dating life. It was not uncommon for him to date. After a few casual questions, Lin Fang asked him why he hadn’t brought Shi Yun with him.

But she still sent them.

Compared to him, Cheng Ge’s cell phone seemed a little busier, and the series of messages was like a deadly scythe.

Sometimes, Wei Congying would feel annoyed in Cheng Ge’s place after hearing it, but Cheng Ge was accustomed to it, accustomed to his girlfriend Fang Qian looking for him all the time. And how she would send messages and call him frantically when he didn’t reply.

Cheng Ge was not from the capital. He came to work in the capital after graduating from an ordinary university. The monthly pay sounded good, being a five-figure salary, but the expenses in the capital were far greater than he imagined.

His girlfriend was five years younger than him, and she met Cheng Ge when she came to the garage to repair a car with her father once.

Fang Qian was currently still in college and her way of thinking was still as innocent as a child.

It was well over half a month later when Wei Congying saw Shi Yun again. it was rare for her to have a day and a half to rest.

When Shi Yun saw him, she had just finished her 24-hour overnight shift and had a daytime class. That made it a whole thirty-six hours she’d gone without sleep.

The work of dealing with people consumed both physical and mental strength. When she received his call, she had just finished her last class.

Last night in the inpatient department, she heard the sound of snoring one after another, and she didn’t know which uncle and auntie were playing a trumpet duet.

During the full course load during her day, it was only due to her reliance on coffee that she managed to not fall asleep.

Like her, many students had just finished class around this time. Shi Yun left the school building, and after walking for two minutes, she saw Wei Congying past the sago palm barricade.

Both he and his car were conspicuous.

He wasn’t seated in the car, but stood by the car door, waiting for Shi Yun with his hands on his hips.

A tall figure, with dignified features.

Wei Congying leaned against the car door and waited for a while before he saw her walking towards him with listless steps. Wei Congying walked over and half-hugged her: “Why do you seem so tired?”

Shi Yun took the chance to wrap her arms around him and closed her eyes: “I haven’t slept for thirty-six hours.”

Wei Congying took the schoolbag from her shoulders; it was very heavy. He commented, “It seems that our French meal will have to be moved back a little bit.”

She yawned: “We can still eat it.”

A romantic candlelight dinner.

Shi Yun looked at the white candlestick next to her and moved her gaze upwards slightly. She kept staring at the flickering candle flame. It was like the pocket watch swinging in the hands of a hypnotist.

She was actually very tired and sleepy.

But she was still sitting next to Wei Congying, listening to him talking about the matter of his bike modification work for the past few days.

Her sense of taste had also dulled due to being too sleepy, and when the bloody steak was served, she took a bite without noticing the fishy smell. The blood stained her lips, and she chewed mechanically until Wei Congying raised his hand and wiped it off with a tissue. Only then did she seem to regain some awareness and swallowed the beef in her mouth.

Even the soothing piano music in the dining room was hypnotic.

The time they spent eating their meal wasn’t long. Wei Congying received a call, it was from Cheng Ge.

It seemed that there was a slight problem with the exhaust pipe that Wei Congying modified this afternoon.

Originally, he was not in a hurry to head over, but Wei Congying remembered that there hadn’t been any problems when he was assembling it, so when Cheng Ge called to tell him this, his curiosity was piqued.

Shi Yun didn’t mind if he made a trip to the garage, in any case, she could catch up on sleep on the way.

The two-seater car doesn’t have a back row for Shi Yun to put her schoolbag in, and she didn’t bother putting her schoolbag in the trunk, she simply put it on her lap, put on her seat belt, and waited for sleepiness to strike.

Nodding her head, she seemed extremely sleepy.

As she hadn’t slept in thirty-six hours, it was no wonder she was sleepy.

He drove very steadily on the road. There was no sudden turn of the steering wheel or slamming on the accelerator or brake. Wei Congying did not drive very fast, and glanced at the dozing person in the passenger seat out of the corner of his eye from time to time.

While waiting for the red light, Wei Congying stopped the car. Sitting in the driver’s seat, with his hands on the steering wheel, turned his head to look at the person next to him. The street lights shone into the car from the front windshield and the car window.

Her eyelashes were very long and cast a small shadow under her eyes. Her summer clothes were very thin, and the rise and fall of her chest due to breathing was obvious. Wei Congying stretched out an arm to help her adjust the seat back slightly, making it more comfortable for her while lying down.

He didn’t drive fast on the way over, and she didn’t wake up when he went over the speed bumps. He even parked slowly, but the passenger seat occupant woke right when the engine was turned off. After staying up all night, she seemed a little dazed. She unbuckled her seat belt, wore her schoolbag with her eyes half-closed, and got out of the car with Wei Congying.

The sultry heat outside the car didn’t feel as uncomfortable in the face of sleepiness. The rustle of leaves sounded as they rubbed against each other, the wind carried a few clouds across the sky, and the incomplete moon was not very bright.
