Thirty Degrees Part 1

Content Summary: Xun Chuan

During the Chinese New Year, there weren’t many cars left in the garage of their community.

Quite a few were gone, probably all visiting friends and family.

Wei Congying carried Shi Yun’s suitcase and walked forward, triggering the sensor lights along the way.

It is a two-unit design per floor. The door of his neighbor on the same floor had festive Spring Festival couplets and the Chinese character “Fortune” on it, but the door of his apartment was bare.

She had heard him butcher the meanings of all kinds of classical poems, famous quotes from novels and celebrities, and famous sayings, so it didn’t surprise Shi Yun at all that he twisted the meaning of an idiom.

He opened the lock with his fingerprint, and the heat in the house swept over them instantly.

There was take-out garbage on the dining table that hadn’t been thrown away yet. It looked like this was his New Year’s Eve dinner today.

“Did your grandparents not persuade you to go back for the New Year?” Shi Yun took off her jacket.

Shi Yun said oh, returned to the door, and opened the suitcase. But when she opened it, she saw a red envelope.

The bottom of the red envelope was a little wrinkled, it must have been stuffed in.

Shi Yun knew that it was from He Sui who got out of the car first to help her take out the suitcase after sending her to school. He must have unzipped it and stuffed it in.

Picking up the red envelope, Shi Yun thought of the first time she received a red envelope from He Sui’s brother, it was when she was when she had just turned eighteen years old. Her family said that she was already an adult at the age of eighteen, so they would no longer give her red envelopes.

She happened to go play with the neighbor’s children after New Year’s Eve dinner. And when she came back, she broke her hand and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment on New Year’s Eve.

In retrospect, she felt that it was because she did not receive a red envelope and thus the evil spirits were not kept away, which explained why she was unlucky.¹[1] Usually red envelopes are given to children by adults, married couples, and the elderly during the New Year Festival. It is believed that the money and red envelopes will keep evil from the children, keep them healthy, and give them a long life. -Source: Link here.

So the next day, He Sui and his brother stood downstairs in her house and knocked on her window with small stones.

The two people stood under the persimmon tree in her yard, holding red envelopes and waving to her.

From then on, Shiyun received red envelopes from his brother every year.

Shi Yun looked at the crumpled red envelope in his hand and smoothed it out.

Listening to the sound of the man in the living room looking for medicine, she picked up a change of clothes and entered the bathroom.

After taking a shower, the chill on her body faded away. Wei Congying put the medicine he found on the coffee table. Before going into the bathroom to take a shower, he reminded her to take her medicine.

Shi Yun took the medicine without any hesitation. After taking the prescribed dose according to the instructions, she sat on the floor and looked at the huge bookshelf in Wei Congying’s apartment.

It wasn’t until the sound of water in the bathroom disappeared that he opened the bathroom door. Standing at the doorway, he glanced around, until he finally saw Shi Yun, who was blocked by the sofa.

Wei Congying wiped his hair with a towel roughly: “Come here and blow dry your hair.”

Shi Yun got up from the ground when she heard him, walked around the sofa, and heard him say: “Put on slippers.”

Shi Yun walked around the sofa but couldn’t find any slippers. Finally, Wei Congying gave her the ones he had on his feet.

Shi Yun stepped into the slippers, still a little warm from his feet. She looked at her feet in the wide blue slippers, next to his bare feet on the white floor tiles.

Looking down at their feet, Shi Yun looked up at Wei Congying, who was wiping her hair in the mirror. She raised her head and said coquettishly: “Can you help me dry my hair?”

Wei Congying had never done anything like this.

Untying the cord around the hair dryer, turning it on, and looking at Shi Yun’s hair, he felt confused for a moment.

His fingers were playing with her hair, and hurting her a little, but Shi Yun didn’t complain about the pain, and just frowned slightly.

Shiyun’s hair was quite long. She had a curling perm, which gave off the illusion that she had even more hair.

Her hair was wrapped around Wei Congying’s fingers, and he was swaying the hair dryer carefully as if handling a piece of art.

Facing the mirror, even with her back to him, she could still see him drying her hair in the mirror.

It is said that serious men are the most handsome, and Shi Yun somewhat agreed.

There was still some steam left on the edge of the mirror. She raised her hand and drew cat ears on it, right on top Wei Congying’s head in the mirror.

In order to position them correctly, she needed to lean forward and get on her tip toes. As he dried her hair and watched her move around, Wei Congying looked up and saw the cat ears.

Shi Yun smiled in the mirror with satisfaction. He deliberately tilted his hand and blew her hair into her face: “You’re quite naughty.”

The girl’s hair was a little difficult to blow dry. After finishing with drying her hair, Wei Congying didn’t turn off the hair dryer and started drying his own hair. It dried very quickly.

Before Shi Yun left, he combed his hair and put away the hair dryer, cleaning up the cord, and put it back in the drawer. Seeing her leaning against the sink, he raised his hand and touched her hair, it was dry.

He caught a strand of hair with his fingers: “How can you repay me? My hands are sore from drying your hair.”

After saying that, Wei Congying felt a foot on his waist.

Shi Yun: “A footjob?”

–

Wei Congying felt comfortable.

When he was lying on the bed and relaxing, someone rolled over and into his arms. He knew that Shiyun liked to be held afterwards.

Although this time he just wanted to lie down and empty his mind, he still turned over and hugged her.

The person in his arms hugged his neck: “Wei Congying, can I go with you?”

Her voice was still breathy when she spoke.

Wei Congying stroked her back to calm her down. Hearing her words, he smiled: “I was wondering why you were so cooperative. You were willing to do whatever I asked. It turned out to be this.”

Shi Yun looked up from his arms and looked at him: “It’s hard to refuse now, right? I can pay for it myself.”

Wei Congying stopped the hand that was stroking her, and tucked the hair that was blocking her face behind her ears with his fingers. Wei Congying saw Shi Yun’s eyes.

Those eyes that he liked very much were misted over under the reflection of the big lights on the ceiling.

She rested her head on his arm and looked at him with that loving look again.

Wei Congying kissed her right eye: “Even if you don’t, I will still take you there. As I said before, can I not afford to take someone to Xunchuan with me to play?”
