Fortunately, taxis are available outside the airport.
There was no time to think about whether taking the bus was more cost-effective. After they quickly got in, they felt their stiff tongues regain sensation.
The cold in Harbin feels completely different from the cold in Lin Fan’s hometown.
The coldness in the Lin family is damp. The temperature is not particularly low, but the ubiquitous moisture in the air always seeps into the cracks between people's bones.
Harbin is not.
Harbin, located in the northernmost city, has little air humidity. It is dry and cold, with temperatures as low as minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.
Early February is the coldest time of the year, let alone at night.
Those who had never been so far north immediately had the most intuitive experience with the name "Ice City".
Five people, a lot of luggage, two taxis.
Late at night in Harbin, the empty streets were sparsely populated. The taxi drove to the foot of a residential complex.
"Boss, isn't it a little too late to go home now?" Li Chunhua looked at the dark apartment buildings in the community, where almost no lights were on, and said in a low voice.
Song Ren looked at his cautious appearance and smiled brightly, "Let's go."
Once we arrived in Harbin, we naturally listened to Song Ren's orders.
They got on the elevator with their bags and after entering, they found that they had come to an empty room.
The three-bedroom, two-living-room house showed no signs of life. The heating was on full blast, and soon after entering the house, the few people felt warm again.
"Boss, have you rented a homestay?" Li Chunhua took off his coat and walked around the house.
"It's not a B&B, it's my house." Song Ren put the things in place at the door and replied, "I bought it a few years ago, and no one has lived in it. I told my family I was coming today, and they came to clean it in advance."
"...No wonder." Li Chunhua nodded. "The boss's family is well off, too."
At present, the number of properties owned by a family can directly reflect the economic level of a family.
It was late at night, and it wasn't the right time to chat. Song Ren arranged rooms for everyone.
The master bedroom has a double bed, and the second bedroom has two single beds, making it look like an elderly room. There's also a folding bed in the study, and the sofa can also accommodate one person.
Finally, today, these four tall and strong men no longer have to sleep together on a double bed.
Song Ren originally wanted Lin Fan to sleep on the large bed in the master bedroom, but Lin Fan refused and insisted on sleeping on the folding bed in the study.
Li Chunhua and Ji Yu didn't want to sleep on the big bed in the master bedroom, so it was finally given to Gao Fei.
Song Ren slept on the sofa. Li Chunhua and Ji Yu slept on the single bed in the second bedroom.
After quickly washing up, they fell asleep soon.
When Lin Fan got up the next day, the young men in the room had all returned from exercise.
She has been banned from exercising because she has lost a lot of weight recently.
After exercising, everyone was wandering around the house in short-sleeved T-shirts, making Lin Fan, who was wearing a sweater, feel like he had come to the wrong season.
But the heating was really comfortable. After moving around a bit, Lin Fan started to feel the heat too. He ran back to the study and dug out his summer clothes from the sack.
When she came out in a fitted rose-red printed short T-shirt and jeans, everyone was attracted by her unique dressing style.
Compared to the current trend of loose, solid-colored styles, Lin Fan's clothes when she was young were mostly brightly colored and fitted, showing off her curves perfectly.
In addition, Lin Fan's figure has improved recently, and his limbs are slender and strong, so naturally he looks good in whatever he wears.
"Hurry up, go put on your makeup!" Li Chunhua has not forgotten the price of cosmetics and reminds Lin Fan every day.
Lin Fan was at a loss for words and could only follow his wishes.
"Lin Fan is still thin!" Li Chunhua went to the living room and whispered to Song Ren.
When he pushed Lin Fan just now, he put his hand on her shoulder and felt that it was all bones and there was no muscle left.
Song Ren naturally noticed it. The close-fitting clothes felt a little loose on Lin Fan.
It seems that I still need to give her more food.
"Looking at my sister's old clothes, I feel that when she was young, her personality must have been very..." Gao Fei said, not knowing how to describe it.
"Sister Lin must have had a colorful life when she was young," Ji Yu continued. "Look at the clothes and jewelry she wore, and the three piercings in her left ear. She's definitely not a rigid and honest person."
Li Chunhua nodded.
Recently, they could clearly feel the change in Lin Fan's condition.
She loves talking and laughing more than before, and she also makes jokes with a bad taste...
Compared to the Lin Fan who was 800 miles away before setting off, the current Lin Fan is more like a living person.
Lin Fan's makeup is simple and quick.
It was getting late, so they quickly put on some extra clothes, wrapped themselves in their warmest coats, and headed for Song Ren's parents' home.
Song's parents lived in the next neighborhood, and the five of them arrived in less than 10 minutes on foot.
The hospitality of the generous and enthusiastic northerners is not only reflected in their attitude, but also in the large bowls of food on the table.
Except in the office cafeteria, they had never seen vegetables being served in bowls.
A bowl of meat congee, a bowl of steamed buns, a bowl of mixed vegetables, a pot of hot soy milk, and a bag of a dozen fried dough sticks. The table was so full that there wasn't even room for a bowl.
At once……
For the first time, several people felt that this meal might be too filling.
Northerners don't normally eat this way. Song Ren specifically called home to tell them to prepare more.
When my grandfather and grandfather-in-law, who had served in the army, heard that all the people coming were soldiers, they prepared more.
This created such a shocking effect.
But it was a blessing in disguise, as it just happened to supplement Lin Fan's intake needs.
So, after they finished half a bowl of breakfast together, even Song Ren put down his chopsticks, but Lin Fan continued eating under everyone's enthusiasm.
"This girl has a good appetite." Grandpa Song is so old, but he has never seen a girl who eats so much.
"It's a blessing to be able to eat." Grandma Song looked at Lin Fan with a smile. Seeing that her eldest grandson gave her another steamed bun, the kindness in her eyes became even stronger.
Mother Song looked at Lin Fan's slender figure, which was completely disproportionate to her appetite.
Father Song stared at Lin Fan's flat stomach with a puzzled look on his face. "Where did all this food go?"
Because breakfast was eaten late and in large quantities, lunch naturally could not start at the normal time.
The Song family simply asked Song Ren to take a few people out for a walk to help digest the food, and then have a good meal when they came back in the evening.
The Song family's residential complex is located in the city center, not far from the famous Central Avenue.
There are numerous European-style buildings on both sides of this street, most of which are over a century old. Even the road is paved with square stone bricks, full of exotic style.
After walking on the street for a while and experiencing the different customs, the group was still defeated by the cold outside and hid in the mall to keep warm.
The shopping malls in Harbin are different from those in Gaohe. There are not so many tall buildings and gorgeous decorations.
When Lin Fan came out of the bathroom, Song Ren was waiting outside alone.
"They just went in." Song Ren said.
He went into the bathroom with Lin Fan, and when he came out, the other three remembered to go.
Lin Fan nodded. She glanced around and saw a dessert shop not far away. The displays in the window were quite attractive. She told Song Ren and ran over to take a look.
Seeing that the shop was only about thirty meters away, Song Ren was not in a hurry. He looked at Lin Fan's back and walked slowly towards that place.
Lin Fan was looking at the cakes in the window and was about to call Song Ren over to buy a piece to try.
Suddenly, a woman with long hair stood in front of Song Ren.
Is this another little girl who is bewitched by Song Ren’s beauty?
Lin Fan walked towards Song Ren with a smile on his face. He didn't know how many waves of enemies he had encountered along the way.
Across from them, the trio coming out of the restroom clearly thought the same thing. Li Chunhua glanced at Gao Fei and Ji Yu with an ambiguous expression, and tiptoed towards Song Ren.
As I approached, I heard a plaintive and emotional female voice: "Aren."
Wow, that’s acquaintance!
When a few people heard the sound, they realized that things were not as they imagined, so they turned around and tried to run away.
Lin Fan was not as lucky as Li Chunhua and the others. Song Ren grabbed him and dragged him to his side.
The woman opposite saw Song Ren suddenly approaching, and before she could be happy, she found that he passed by her, grabbed a woman from somewhere, and dragged her to his side.
She keenly felt that the relationship between the two was unusual.
When the woman looked over, she smiled what she thought was a perfect smile and extended her hand. "Hello, my name is Li Fangfang. I'm Song Ren's ex-girlfriend."
Well, the ex-girlfriend makes her appearance. Some readers have accused me of writing about ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends to disgust readers. I honestly don't, at least not subjectively. This plot was planned back in July, so everyone, just make do with it. If you don't like it, skip the next chapter. But votes are still required.
