The wind in Longcheng was like a knife.
As soon as Tang Zhou got off the plane, his bones were almost completely frozen. Fortunately, he had the foresight to bring a thick-down jacket.
The down jacket is black and reaches up to his calf. With the collar pulled up to his chin and a cap covering the whole person, he looks like a chubby bear.
However, Tang Zhou himself was slim and his clothes hung loosely on his body, which did not seem too cumbersome.
It was three o’clock in the afternoon when he arrived at the airport. The airport is far from Fu Shen’s hometown and it will take about two hours by car to get there.
Before boarding the plane, Tang Zhou contacted someone he knew in Longcheng and as soon as he turned on his cell phone, he received a call.
It seems he was already there to pick him up.
Following the instructions sent to him by phone, Tang Zhou found the driver who would pick him up.
The driver was in his forties and looked honest and straightforward. When he saw Tang Zhou, he was obviously surprised. If he hadn’t made it very clear over the phone, he would have thought he was picking up a big star.
Tang Zhou pushed the suitcase, “Master Liu, thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard, I wanted to go home for New Year’s anyway, you actually helped me with this trip.”
The driver, old Liu, bared his teeth: “If it wasn’t for my boss giving me the job of picking up Mr. Tang, I wouldn’t have been able to drive home.”
He helped Tang Zhou put the suitcase away and the two got into the car.
Old Liu started the car and said with a smile, “Mr. Tang, there are still more than two hours left on the road. If you are tired, take a rest, I can wake you up when we arrive.”
Tang Zhou was a little sleepy on the plane, but the cold wind refreshed him at this time and he did not feel sleepy at all.
“This is my first time in Longcheng. I wanted to see the scenery of Longcheng.”
Longcheng had just experienced a snowfall. The car window was covered in a thick layer of silver-white. The bare branches on both sides of the road were covered in snow, which occasionally fell down in a rustling sound.
This was a sight that was hard to see in Jiangcheng.
Although the road had been cleared, it was still a bit slippery. Lao Liu didn’t dare to drive too fast. He asked, “Mr. Tang, are you in a hurry?”
Tang Zhou smiled and said, “It’s fine as long as we can get there.”
The journey that originally took two hours took three hours instead.
The village where Fu Shen lived was called Longtan Village. It had good feng shui,
and a good name, but it was poor.
Lao Liu had become familiar with Tang Zhou along the way and became more talkative. He asked, “Longtan Village is very remote. What are you doing here, Mr. Tang?”
Tang Zhou’s gaze fell on the mountain not far away. “I’m meeting a friend.”
“Oh, Mr. Tang, we’ve arrived at the village. Do you know where your friend’s house is? I can take you right to their door.”
Tang Zhou looked at the road at the entrance of the village. It was too small and narrow, and there was snow on the road, making it difficult for the car to drive. He said, “Just stop here. You should go back early too.”
Lao Liu’s family lived in the county town. It was already late, and it was better to go back early.
“Okay, Mr. Tang, if you need a car again, just contact me.”
Lao Liu enthusiastically helped him take down his suitcase. Seeing Tang Zhou’s figure disappear at the entrance of the village, he turned and went home.
The road out of the village was bumpy and narrow. Lao Liu drove slowly and saw someone riding a bicycle coming towards him. He slowed down and pulled over.
By the light of the car, he saw that it was a young man. He was very handsome and was carrying a plastic bag in his hand. It seemed to be filled with yellow paper and ghost money.

Old Liu felt that he was really lucky to see two handsome young men in one day.

A middle-aged woman wearing a thick cotton coat came out with a basin. She saw Tang Zhou outside at a glance and was surprised to see such a handsome young man!
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Tang Zhou spoke first, “Auntie, may I ask how to get to Fu Shen’s house?”
“Who?!”
“Fu Shen.”
“You mean Xiao Fu? The one who went to university in Jiangcheng?”
Tang Zhou was already shivering from the cold and rubbed his hands together, saying, “Yes, I’m his friend. Can you tell me where he lives?”
The eldest sister’s eyes lit up. It was good to go to university, and you could even make friends like this!
No matter how inexperienced she was, she could tell from Tang Zhou’s appearance and demeanor that he was not an ordinary person.
The eldest sister smiled and pointed, “You walk forward along this road, there is a big tree in front, walk the road on the left side of the tree, turn left and then right, see a land temple…”
Tang Zhou’s limbs were already stiff and his mind was stuck. The route the eldest sister said was like a maze to him.
Just as he was about to ask for clarification, he saw the eldest sister suddenly exclaim, “Ah!” and her eyes fell on the distance, “Isn’t that Xiao Fu?”
Tang Zhou turned around in a daze.
Fu Shen was riding his bicycle, and he was just looking over here unconsciously. The moment his eyes met Tang Zhou’s, his whole body froze, and he even forgot to pedal.
The bicycle lost its balance and fell to the ground with a bang. The plastic bag hanging on the handlebars scattered on the ground, and a small bundle of ghost money fell out.
Fu Shen himself was not spared either.
Tang Zhou was shocked and was about to step forward to help, but his legs were numb from the cold. He took a step and staggered, involuntarily falling into the snow.
The two had just met and hadn’t even said a word before they both fell to the ground.
The eldest sister was amused by this. She put down the basin and helped Tang Zhou up, teasing him, “If you didn’t know better, you’d think you two were bowing down to each other.”
Fu Shen reacted faster than Tang Zhou. He quickly got up, ran to Tang Zhou’s side, bent down, and patted the snow off Tang Zhou’s clothes. He touched his hands and said, “Why are you so cold?”
The distress in his eyes made Tang Zhou feel that his long journey to see him was worth it.
“Xiao Fu, hurry up and take your friend home.” The eldest sister said warmly.
“Thank you, auntie.” He addressed her according to the seniority in the village.
Fu Shen picked up the suitcase, the plastic bag on the ground, and the handlebars of the bicycle with one hand. His voice was particularly low in the cold wind: “Let’s go home first.”
Tang Zhou wanted to help him carry the bag, but was refused.
The weather was cold, and everyone was staying indoors to warm up by the fire. They didn’t meet any neighbors on their way to Fu Shen’s house.
The sound of creaking snow came from under their shoes.
Fu Shen walked quickly, his voice mixed with the wind: “Why didn’t you send a message?”
Tang Zhou secretly observed his expression and whispered, “I wanted to surprise you.”
Fu Shen didn’t say anything more, and the silence spread in the quiet village, making people feel particularly sensitive.
Tang Zhou had endured hunger and cold, and traveled a long way. He thought that when he saw Fu Shen, he would get a big hug. No hug, but at least a smile, right?
But this person was like a calabash, not even willing to talk to him, and walking so fast.
His teeth chattered from the cold, and white mist came out of his mouth when he opened it. He felt that all the heat in his body had been swept away by the terrible northwest wind.
After walking for an unknown period of time, Tang Zhou followed Fu Shen and finally stopped in front of a house.
He no longer had the energy to look at the house, he just wanted to go in and get out of the wind.
Fu Shen parked his bicycle in the yard and entered the house with the plastic bag and suitcase.
Tang Zhou followed suit.
The door closed behind him, shutting out the cold wind. Fu Shen turned on the light, and the soft light illuminated the entire room. There seemed to be a warm current in the room, gradually dispelling the chill from his bones.
“Come here.”
Tang Zhou obediently followed him to the inner room. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Fu Shen pointing to something like a bed and said, “Get on the kang first.”
Fu Shen was glad that he had heated the kang before going out.
Tang Zhou blinked and didn’t have time to react before Fu Shen picked him up and put him on the kang. He quickly took off his shoes and tucked his legs into the warm quilt.
It was so warm!
“Stay here and don’t move. I’ll go cook.” Fu Shen dropped a sentence and lifted the curtain to go out.
Tang Zhou: “……”
He felt a little aggrieved.
But the heated kang was too comfortable. He took off his bulky down jacket and lay down involuntarily, closing his eyes and feeling his cold bones warm up bit by bit.
Fu Shen simply cooked some noodles and almost burned his hand when serving them.
His mind was full of the scene just now.
When he saw the young man wrapped in a large down jacket, standing in the cold snow, looking at him against the cold wind, Fu Shen felt that only this person was left in his eyes, mind, and heart.
It was as if the snow was melting from the branches and falling, the river ice was cracking, and the spring flowers were blooming slowly in the golden sunlight.
Until he fell to the ground.
Those beautiful images ran out of his mind in an instant, leaving only the thin figure in the snow.
Fu Shen suppressed the sour and hot current in his heart and came to the inner room with the noodle bowl.
The young man on the kang was curled up in the quilt, his face calm, and his face, frozen pale by the cold wind, had become rosy.
He looked at it for a while, afraid that the noodles would get cold and not be eaten, walked over and sat on the edge of the kang, “Baby.”
Tang Zhou opened his eyes, light brown eyes flooded with water mist, “Fu Shen, your home’s kang is so comfortable.”
Fu Shen: “……”
He thought Tang Zhou was frozen silly. How could a kang be more comfortable than a soft and warm bed?
He smiled and said softly, “Get up and eat some noodles first.”
Tang Zhou was wrapped in the quilt, “I don’t want to move.”
Fu Shen put a pillow behind his back, “Sit up and lean on it, you don’t need to do anything.”
“Oh.”
Tang Zhou leaned lazily on the pillow, his hands in the quilt tightly gripping the corners of the quilt, not letting any wind in.
Fu Shen picked up some noodles and brought them to his mouth.
Tang Zhou opened his mouth happily, and the warm noodles entered his stomach, finally filling some of the emptiness.
The two of them cooperated tacitly, and in a short while, the bowl of noodles was eaten clean.
After eating, Tang Zhou regained his energy and asked with wide eyes, “Aren’t you eating?”
“I’ll go now.”
Tang Zhou looked at him reluctantly.
Fu Shen sighed softly, put the bowls and chopsticks aside, took off his shoes and got on the kang, and hugged him tightly in the quilt.
He kissed Tang Zhou on the top of the head, “I said I’d go back after New Year’s Eve.”
Why did he have to come here to suffer?
Tang Zhou leaned on his chest, stretched a hand out from the quilt, and touched his face, his eyes filled with starlight.
“I miss you.”
Fu Shen stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly pressed down, kissing Tang Zhou’s face constantly, not missing a single corner.
He had wanted to do this since he saw Tang Zhou.
The kiss landed on the corner of Tang Zhou’s lips and froze still.
Tang Zhou decisively inclined over and locked lips with him. Fu Shen let out a sigh of relief deep in his throat and tightly clasped the back of Tang Zhou’s neck, as if he were a hungry wolf, fiercely seizing his prey.
Winter’s chill could not extinguish the wild and unrestrained passion.
Tang Zhou felt the unprecedented madness of this person on him.
He let out a fragmented gasp, “You’re not eating the noodles?”
Fu Shen only wanted to leave his own scent on him now, vaguely saying, “I’m eating you.”
Tang Zhou clung to him, the corners of his eyes gradually turning scarlet red, his eyes now flooding with a hazy watery color, his slender and fair neck slightly tilting upward, as if unable to withstand some kind of stimulation.
Reaching the peak, he whimpered.
Tang Zhou returned to the ground from the heights, his vision white for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he saw Fu Shen wiping the corner of his mouth and moving to leave.
“What are you doing?” Tang Zhou was still breathless from their recent activity.
Fu Shen’s eyes deepened. “I didn’t prepare anything at home.”
Tang Zhou’s eyes were watery. “There’s stuff in the suitcase.”
A firework bloomed in Fu Shen’s heart, but he instantly suppressed his physical desires.
He kissed Tang Zhou’s fingertips, showing utmost tenderness.
“Rest early, let’s make dumplings together tomorrow.”
His sweet congee was so good, he wanted him even in this situation.
Fu Shen couldn’t give up.
Thank You for the new chapter (๑˙❥˙๑)
He’s so considerate 😭
