[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝚝𝚠𝚔𝚊𝚗.𝚌𝚘𝚖]

The big bathhouse is filled with hot air.

Chen Qi soaked naked in the water, with two arms resting on the edge of the pool. It was transparent from the inside out, as if the cold and fatigue of the day had faded away.

After a hurried meal, he went to a bathhouse near Lechunfang to take a bath. In summer, he could just boil water at home and sit in a basin, but he couldn't do that in winter, as he could freeze to death.

It was getting late, and there were still a few old men left in the bathhouse. After a while, a man came in and shouted: "It's closing, it's closing, hurry up!"

"call!"

Chen Qi let out a breath and stood up. Several old men turned their eyes and gasped.

He was used to it, wandering to the locker and drying off his clothes.

I came late, so I only had to wash for an hour.

"It's better to take a bath 30 years later! It's open all night, you can play pool, there's a buffet, you can stay overnight, and you can also find bed partners. All the bed partners are outstanding and versatile. They can have ants climbing trees, roaming around in the back, and playing with dragons." phoenix……"

"It's a pity that due to the impact of the live broadcast industry, the real economy is sluggish, and there are not many decent baths left!"

He muttered, carrying a small plastic basket, which contained towels, soap, shampoo, etc... He fastened his hat tightly before he dared to go out, otherwise his hair would have been frozen all the way back.

Coming out of the bath, the north wind blows on my face, and the remaining hot air mixes with the cold current, making me feel like I'm about to catch a cold.

He rode his bike home and it was past eight o'clock when he arrived at Lechunfang. The winter night was pitch black, and there were no street lights here. Looking across the alley, No. 6 Courtyard was the brightest.

There was a lot of noise in the front yard, probably playing cards.

He went in through the corner door and entered the bedroom. The fire was just right inside, making it warm and comfortable.

"You're back? Is it cold outside?"

Gong Xue came over, covered his face with her hands, and said with a smile: "Look at you, you're freezing. I asked you to wear a scarf, but you didn't wear it."

"It's not far. There are fewer people at this time. I took a dip for a while, and you should go take a dip too."

"I washed it in the factory, what else do I need to soak?"

"Hey, why are you taking a shower in the factory?"

"I was going to take a shower!"

"Then why did you take a shower on the day I came back?"

"Hate!"

Gong Xue twisted his face, turned around, picked up a packaging box, and said, "Look, I bought this!"

"What?"

Chen Qi took a look and saw the words "Warm Ten Thousands of Homes" and "Chunle Electric Blanket" written on it, as well as the factory address, which was produced in Shijiazhuang.

"I bought two, and I'll give this one to you. It's been quite warm for me after sleeping for a few days, so I'll lay it out for you."

She opened the mattress and spread the electric blanket underneath. Chen Qi stood beside her and said sarcastically: "This thing is not safe. Don't adjust the high temperature for too long. When it gets hot, it will become low. Don't use it all night. The electric heating wire inside is overloaded. Easy to burn."

"Stop scaring people!"

"Really, it burns really easily."

Chen Qi has experience in this matter. In his last life, he used electric blankets at home, and accidentally burned a big hole in the mattress.

Gong Xue was laid out, turned on the high temperature, and after a while it became hot.

Chen Qi took off his clothes, leaving only his underwear. He got into the bed and felt it, and said: "There is a stove outside and a blanket inside. It's not too cold... Hey, why are you going?"

"I'll get water!"

"Why are you fetching water?"

"Why are you so annoying?!"

Gong Xue rolled her eyes at him, and after tinkering in the outer room for a while, she came in carrying a basin and a big kettle. She also got into bed with her bare feet and underwear on, and shivered: "The temperature in the outer room is quite different. It's really cold. ah."

"hug!"

Chen Qi hugged her body. She had good skin, was petite and flexible, her waist was particularly thin, and she had a light fragrance. She felt very comfortable in every aspect.

"Am I still going to CCTV during this period?" she asked.

"Don't go now, wait until I clear out the program team. Will your parents come?"

"They can't tell. They want to come and they won't let go of my brother or sister. Xiaoying can come."

"Let's ask again. There are only one spot for the guest seats. But Xiaoying, don't go to CCTV. Come to my place. I will give her an apartment then."

They originally planned to let Gong Ying join the CCTV Drama Center, but there was a conflict at the moment, and she might turn against him. Chen Qi didn't want her to go, so he transferred her directly to Oriental Company. If she couldn't be the protagonist, she would be a supporting role. Anyway, she would not be missing in the filming.

"I ordered a dress for you in Hong Kong to wear when you go to Berlin."

"So my usual clothes...well, I mean what should I do with them?"

"..."

Chen Qi thought for a while. Although he was not afraid of those young people, this year was special and they would be severely punished in the second half of the year. The 1980s was a very strange period. In 1983, there was a severe crackdown, but after the crackdown, things seemed to be relaxed all of a sudden - I mean the literary and art circles.

"You can wear whatever you want when attending events or in public. Just be careful."

"Well, I listen to you."

Gong Xue sighed and said: "Actually, I should have listened to you earlier. I have been in Hong Kong for a few months and I got a little carried away."

"It's okay, it's okay. Most people are like this. We are used to being poor. When we go out and see the colorful world, we will inevitably have ideas."

"Then why don't you?"

"I have faith!" Chen Qi said confidently.

"Oh, I am so small compared to you!"

Gong Xue really believed that she didn't know that Chen Qi was an old ghost in his two lives. In her opinion, there is no other explanation except firm belief.

"Of course, I have always been very majestic..."

"oops!"

The two of them were talking, and the clothes on their bodies had unknowingly taken off. Chen Qi took her hand and let her feel his greatness. The soft little hand did not hide, but took the initiative.

Gong Xue's eyes were watery, and she was a little passionate today. She hugged him tightly with one hand and held him with the other for a while, then suddenly turned over and kissed him randomly on his lips, cheeks, and neck...

That night, the strong wind swept away the fallen leaves again, and the rain smashed the bananas!

…………

The newly purchased electric blanket broke after just one night of use.

Maybe the action was too intense.

Early the next morning.

Chen Qi called Ji Chunhua and went out first, arriving at the guest house where the guests of the Spring Festival Gala were staying.

Preparations for the Spring Festival Gala in later generations usually start in September, and everyone is in a state of ecstasy after reviewing the programs one after another. Some programs are not reliable. Even if they are retained, they may be removed on the day of the live broadcast. Even if they are included, they are not funny.

It's easier now. Chen Qi asked actors from other places to come over in January to rehearse intensively, so there is enough time.

There is a yard downstairs in the guest house. The trees are withered and there is thick snow piled under the walls.

"Come on! Come on!"

"Ouch!"

Josefei was huffing and puffing and was playing around with her friends.

While running, she bumped into someone. When she looked up, she saw Ji Chunhua's ugly face. She said "ah" and shouted, "Where did you come from? No outsiders are allowed in here!"

Ji Chunhua rolled his eyes, ignored her, and shouted to the girl behind him: "Xiao Tao!"

"Ah, Brother Chunhua!"

Tao Huimin ran over in surprise and said, "Why are you here?"

"Come and see you!"

"Then you come here..."

Tao Huimin looked at it again and was even more surprised: "Teacher Chen!"
