The cold winter wind blew at their faces as Lai Mingjie heard the ominous whispers in the wind. His lips twisted in dissatisfaction as he held onto Xu Rouguang's hand. It was barely seven, and he decided to walk his lover to their building. Xu Rouguang was in no condition to drive, and neither was Lai Mingjie in any condition to pretend he left. Everyone in JT knew Xu Rouguang got into an accident; what kind of friend would leave another in such a condition alone?
Their fingers were freezing without gloves on, but their body heat was enough to not make it hurt. Xu Rouguang was feeling sick; he had never felt this much cold before, and now he only had clothes and Lai Mingjie's hand to keep him warm. His eyes were swollen while his nose was so red. He looked like he was getting hypothermia.
"Jie... hug..." he murmured as he pulled his muffler to his mouth. His cheeks had become so red he was resembling an oversized apple.
