Chapter 116: Roadblock...The weather is nice today.

This time there weren't any hitches; Xu Hengzhou smoothly obtained the introduction letter from Chen Youshan. Their luggage was already packed, ready for departure the next day.

Everything at home was arranged too. There were still plenty of vegetables in the garden—cabbages and radishes. Xu Hengzhou had instructed Jiang Miao and Lin Jiayan to help themselves to the vegetables, lest they grow into unrecognizable shapes by the time they returned from the northwest. He also gave the keys to the kitchen and woodshed to Jiang Miao, so she could use their stove to cook and fill their bellies.

Jiang Miao knew Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen were heading to the northwest. Privately, she gave Xu Hengzhou sixty yuan—almost her entire salary. She asked them to help deliver it to her grandfather or to buy some items for him.

Xu Hengzhou accepted the money, planning to assess the situation before deciding what to do with it. If Jiang's grandfather needed the money, it would be best to give it to him directly. If not, he would exchange it for goods to bring over.

That evening, Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen once again checked their belongings. Xiang Chen's baby outfits were ready, and meticulously crafted. The tiny hats and shoes were incredibly cute, but Xu Hengzhou found them glaringly bright.

The next morning, before dawn, they rose to prepare for departure. They had to catch a bus to the county seat first, then take a train to the northwest from the city.

The morning chill was particularly biting. Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen both wore thick padded coats. Despite his anger, Xu Hengzhou still prepared scarves and gloves for Xiang Chen. In this cold weather, he couldn't bear to see him suffer.

Xu Hengzhou wore a long black padded coat, his demeanor stern as he bent down to tie a scarf around Xiang Chen's neck. Xiang Chen's coat had a large hood at the back, so there was no need for an additional hat.

Suppressing a laugh behind his hand, Xiang Chen asked innocently, "Brother, aren't you going to wear a scarf? It's so cold."

Xu Hengzhou pursed his lips and replied coldly, "I'm not cold." With that, he bent down to pick up their luggage.

Xiang Chen nearly burst out laughing; his brother's rare display of jealousy was too adorable. If not for that, he wouldn't have dragged the moment out for so long.

From his luggage bag at his feet, Xiang Chen took out the charcoal-gray scarf he had knitted for Xu Hengzhou. He jumped onto Xu Hengzhou's back, extending his arms to tie it around his neck.

"What are you doing?" Xu Hengzhou suddenly felt a weight on his back. He quickly dropped the luggage and reached behind to hold Xiang Chen, afraid he might fall.

"Here's your scarf!" Xiang Chen leaned on Xu Hengzhou's back, smiling as he spoke near his ear, "Brother, I've been knitting it for so long, even if it's not cold, just wear it!"

Only then did Xu Hengzhou feel the warm and soft touch around his neck. He paused for a moment, staying still without speaking, slightly lowering his head, going along with Xiang Chen's movements.

Xiang Chen, from behind, awkwardly tied the scarf around him. His fingers brushed against Xu Hengzhou's neck and face, finally lingering by his ear, turning the area red.

Xiang Chen's fingers twitched a bit. He really wanted to touch those two red ears, imagining they must be warm. In the end, the remaining bit of conscience stopped him from teasing Xu Hengzhou further, at least giving his brother some face.
