white night"……"
His old face turned red and he scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to accept Auntie's help, but... money is sometimes a good thing, but it's not everything, especially when it comes to relationships. I'm really afraid of this."
Sayuri nodded in approval.
"Of course, I'm not lending it to Xiao Jun unconditionally. I need Xiao Jun to agree to one condition."
Chapter 984 It’s going to snow. Would you like to come to my house and hide?
When Bai Ye heard that Sayuri offered conditional help, he immediately became alert and became more psychologically receptive.
"Auntie, no matter how much interest you want or what you want me to do, we can talk about it."
"I don't want the interest." Sayuri waved her hand, her expression carefree. "I won't starve to death if I don't have that little bit of money, and I won't get rich if I have that little bit more. I don't want any favors from Mr. Xiao either. We are family, so don't be so fussy."
Bai Ye nodded, poured tea for Sayuri, and waited for her conditions.
Sayuri took a sip of hot tea and spoke slowly:
"Doesn't that house have seven rooms? How do you plan to arrange them?"
"One room per person—oh, if Auntie asks about everyone's room arrangements, I haven't decided on that yet, but I should be staying in the master bedroom. I guess no one else will choose the master bedroom."
Sayuri didn't respond and continued speaking.
"Once Xiao-jun buys a new house, everyone will come to my place less and less. By then, even Ying Lili will move out, and I'll be the only one left in this huge house."
Sayuri's voice became lower and lower, and at the end she even seemed a little sad, as if she had seen a future in which she would live alone until the end.
Bai Ye wanted to mention Mr. Spencer, but then he remembered that Mr. Spencer had not been seen for almost a whole year, so he swallowed his words.
"I won't……"
Sayuri interrupted him.
"So, Xiao Jun, just give me a room. After all, I'm a guest, so I'd like the guest room next to the master bedroom."
Bai Ye realized a key point.
There are only 7 rooms in total. If Shiyu, Xiaohui, Eriri, Bingtang, Chukai, Zhuyin and Sayuri each have one room, then what about your own room?
"Auntie...where...do I live?" Bai Ye's mouth twitched.
"Xiao Jun, you can live wherever you want~"
Sayuri's tone was calm and composed.
"Xiao Jun wants to live in the master bedroom because it's big enough for him to do bad things. Anyway, the whole house is yours. You can live in whichever room you want. You can live downstairs today and upstairs tomorrow. It's even better if you call everyone to the living room together the day after tomorrow."
white night"……"
I have to say, the scene described by Sayuri was very tempting, which made him a little distracted.
"Besides, I don't stay here every day. It's okay for Xiaojun to sleep in my room when I'm not around, um~~" Sayuri winked mischievously.
"One thousand two hundred and twenty percent. Auntie won't be able to see me until she gets a shovel and goes to the backyard the next day."
……
The topic ended here.
Sayuri did not ask Bai Ye to respond immediately. Just like the belief she has always adhered to, the final decision must be made by the leader himself.
"Thank you for dinner, Xiao-jun. I'm feeling warm now. Come on~ put on your coat and button it up."
Sayuri put the coat that Bai Ye had lent her in the evening back on Bai Ye, and also considerately straightened out the wrinkles on his clothes.
The fragrance on the coat made Bai Ye feel like he was being hugged by many little lilies from all directions. Remembering that the coat had been placed on the little lilies' legs, it was not surprising that there was such a smell.
"Welcome again~"
The warmth of the hot pot restaurant made both of them forget how bad the weather was outside, and the cold wind blowing in their faces made them respect the cold winter.
"It's so cold..." Sayuri shuddered.
Bai Ye wanted to take off his coat again and lend it to Sayuri, but this time the latter waved her hand to stop him.
"No need, Xiao Jun, where else are you going?"
"No, go home, aunt."
"Yeah, I'll take you home."
There was a distance between the car and the hotel, and Bai Ye deliberately walked a little in front of Sayuri just to block the wind for her.
"It's pitch black today, and it looks like it's going to rain this afternoon, and I forgot to bring an umbrella."
"I hope it doesn't rain..." Sayuri looked up at the sky and exhaled a puff of white mist.
It's a pity that God didn't want it.
The next second, a strong wind carrying rain came silently towards the two of them, and their faces were covered with rain in the blink of an eye.
"It's raining?!"
But there was more to it than that, for the snowflakes were lighter than the rain, and it took them a few seconds to hit their faces.
"Xiao Jun, it's sleet."
Strong winds and sleet are a perfect combination for cooling down the temperature. Just by being blown like this, Bai Ye couldn't help but shiver and sneeze, and Sayuri sneezed several times in a row.
"Oh my God, you're so cruel... I just left the house and it started sleeting and snowing. Doesn't even God like me?"
"Go back to the car first, Xiaojun, don't get cold."
There were no roofs to provide shelter along the way, and the two of them hurried, but it took them nearly three minutes to get back to the car. Their clothes were wet to varying degrees by the rain and snow.
“A-choo—A-choo—!”
Sayuri sneezed a few more times, sniffed her nose, and turned on the air conditioner in the car.
Bai Ye felt a little guilty when seeing this.
"Alas... I just happened to forget to bring an umbrella when I went out today."
"It's okay, I forgot too, let's go back."
The sudden downpour of rain and snow was so swift and fierce that the front windshield was covered with a layer of rain and snow in the blink of an eye, forcing Sayuri to turn on the wipers and slow down the car.
"There's a bit of a traffic jam."
"There's nothing we can do. It's raining or snowing during the evening rush hour, so it's better to be careful."
After nearly half an hour, the car finally got out of the congested road.
At this time, Bai Ye, who was sitting in the passenger seat, discovered that Sayuri seemed to be in a bad condition.
He was sneezing and sniffling because of the cold when he got in the car, but he recovered in just 10 minutes. Even if there was a difference in their physical constitution, Sayuri shouldn't still have a runny nose.
"Is Auntie trembling?"
"Ah...it seems a little...okay."
Bai Ye's face became tense. It was obvious that Sayuri was cold from the rain and snow.
He carefully observed Sayuri's face and found that she was having a runny nose and her body was just shaking a little. If she warmed up her body in time, she would not develop a cold.
Now that he is almost home, Bai Ye faces a choice.
The fastest drive back to Sawamura's house would take 15 minutes, but it's raining and snowing and windy, and the air conditioning in the car isn't working well. If we run into a traffic jam, it might take another half an hour to get home.
Bai Ye naturally didn't want Sayuri to get sick because of this, so he made a decision immediately.
"Auntie, come to my house and take a hot bath to warm yourself up."
Sayuri's hand trembled and she glanced at Bai Ye quickly.
"This isn't good... I can handle it."
Bai Ye knew what she was worried about and made a decision for her resolutely.
"It's okay, auntie. Come on, don't tell me that I'll be angry with you if I ignore you. Aren't we family? Auntie, you're being too formal."
Hearing this, Sayuri was no longer stubborn.
"Okay, sorry to bother you, Xiao Jun, tonight... A-choo!"
The car stopped steadily downstairs. Bai Ye put his coat on her again before getting out of the car, then blocked the rain and snow in front and quickly protected Sayuri upstairs.
"After Auntie comes in, take a hot bath first. I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup to warm you up."
Sayuri looked at Bai Ye who was protecting her from the wind and rain, and felt an immense sense of security in her heart.
"Okay, thank you Xiaojun, it's great to have you around~"
Chapter 985: A glimpse into Sayuri of Huoze Village? !
Bai Ye opened the door, took off his shoes, went into the house, turned on the oil heater, and then went to the closet to get a bath towel.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had not brought slippers for Sayuri.
"Auntie, you can wear any pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet. I wash them every week."
"understood."
Bai Ye took out the bath towel and found that Sayuri was wearing pink slippers, which matched her pink and white kimono very well, as if they were tailor-made for her.
Without bothering to ask Sayuri why she chose pink slippers, Bai Ye handed her a bath towel and hurriedly led her to the bathroom. He also considerately turned on the water heater to prevent her from wasting time because she was not familiar with it for the first time.
"Take a shower first, Auntie. I'll go make some ginger soup. I'll get you some clothes later. You know I have clothes for everyone at home, so you won't have to worry about not having clothes."
"Yeah." Sayuri hugged the towel to her chest, her eyes full of emotion and tenderness. "Xiao Jun will also take a hot bath later to warm up your body and don't catch a cold."
Bai Ye nodded, left the bathroom and rushed to the kitchen to start working.
Inviting Sayuri to come home for a bath is one thing, but after that, there is another thing that bothers Bai Ye.
After she warms herself up, should we let Sayuri stay or send her home?
If it were Shiyu and the others, Bai Ye would have no worries at all. Even if they wanted to go back, he would find ways to coax them to stay and would never let the night become boring.
But now the other person is Sayuri, so Bai Ye will certainly not do anything to her. But if Sayuri's stay overnight is known to someone with ulterior motives, it might cause misunderstanding.
"Sending Auntie home is the safest way, but..."
He checked the weather forecast, which showed that the sleet would stop in an hour and the temperature was -3°C.
"The temperature has dropped below zero. If my aunt catches a cold again when she returns home, I will be held responsible."
Then he went to the balcony and looked up at the sky, and felt that the rain and snow seemed to be lighter than before.
"The weather forecast is unreliable. It seemed like it said it would rain yesterday, but it only rained today."
Bai Ye seemed unaware that everything he said was intended to make Sayuri stay, and the two factors that would have been beneficial for Sayuri to leave were both rejected.
After secretly making the decision to keep Sayuri, Bai Ye returned to the kitchen to continue cooking ginger soup.
Jingle Bell--
Bai Ye's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and found that it was a video call request from Ying Lili.
"Why is Eriri video chatting at this time?"
Bai Ye looked back at the bathroom and thought that if Eriri found Sayuri in her house, the scene would be so beautiful that he couldn't even imagine it.
Putting aside other things, it’s definitely not possible not to answer the video.
"Little golden retriever, why are you suddenly interested in sending a message to your owner?"
Eriri lay on the desk with her hair loose. There was only a dim warm light on in the room. Her golden hair not only looked less dazzling, but also revealed a hint of loneliness.
"Huh, who's your little golden retriever?"
Bai Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Under normal circumstances, Eriri would have pointed at her nose and retaliated with full force, but now he actually heard a hint of coquettishness in it.
Seeing this, Bai Ye stopped teasing her and his tone softened.
"Bai Ye, what are you cooking?"
"Ginger soup." Bai Ye turned the camera to the pot.
"Just got home?"
"Yeah, it's raining and snowing outside. I'm freezing. Drink some ginger soup to ward off the cold. Yinglili, you need to put on some clothes. By the way, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
