Chapter 82: Warm and Cozy...Opening Up About the Past
The weather had already turned wintry, and the temperature was dropping day by day. While Lan Province, located at the junction of the north and south, wasn't as cold as the northern regions, winter could still send a chill through one's bones.
The truck traveled on a narrow road, occasionally experiencing bumps that made the young passengers sway back and forth. A brisk and biting cold wind blew, causing everyone to shiver as they tightly wrapped their clothes around themselves.
Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen sat in the middle of the truck, near the front. With others shielding them from the wind, it wasn't too cold. Xu Hengzhou unfolded a thick quilt he brought with him and draped it over himself, then pulled Xiang Chen into his embrace.
Observing this, others followed suit. Those who brought blankets used them, and those who didn't use thick clothing. A few individuals who seemed familiar with each other mimicked Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen, huddling together under shared blankets for warmth.
This arrangement made everyone feel considerably warmer. Those who had been shivering with lips turning white from the cold gradually recovered, and a desire to converse emerged.
Closer to Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou were two young girls, around eighteen or nineteen. One had long hair and a melon seed face, while the other had short hair and a round face. Both girls were quite attractive, especially the one with long hair, who stood out as the most beautiful among the girls on the entire truck.
The girl with the round face chatted with her companion for a while, then her gaze fell upon Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen. Surprisingly, instead of being captivated by the refined and outstanding appearance of Xu Hengzhou, she seemed more interested in Xiang Chen.
Xiang Chen was wrapped in a blanket, nestled in his brother's embrace, with only his head exposed. When feeling cold, he could bury himself in Xu Hengzhou's warmth. With a toasty body, his cheeks blushed, enhancing the charm of the not-yet-fully-grown young lad, making him even more likable.
The girl with the round face stared at Xiang Chen for quite some time, making him feel a bit embarrassed. Xu Hengzhou furrowed his brows and looked at the girl.
The long-haired girl beside her tugged at her arm, apologizing to Xu Hengzhou, "Sorry, she means no harm. She just finds your younger brother too young and feels it's a bit odd."
Xu Hengzhou had not yet responded when the round-faced girl muttered softly, "No, I just think he looks good..."
Her voice was not loud, but the car compartment was too small, and everyone was sitting very close, so naturally, both Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen heard her. Xu Hengzhou was taken aback, lowering his head to look at Xiang Chen. Xiang Chen was momentarily confused, and then the blush on his face instantly spread to the back of his ears. Helplessly, he buried his face in Xu Hengzhou's arms.
It's not that no one has ever praised Xiang Chen for being good-looking, but in the past, it was always older aunts and grandmothers who praised him, their eyes filled with affection. Unlike this girl, so young, clearly having his older brother as a gem in front, she focused on him, her gaze intense, making Xiang Chen feel shy.
Xu Hengzhou couldn't help but laugh at Xiang Chen's embarrassed state, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated. He freed up one hand to rub Xiang Chen's hair, and after that, he didn't retract his hand, placing it on the side of Xiang Chen's neck, pinching and rubbing the back of his neck, and then massaging his soft and warm earlobes.
