Hongli: "..."
Um, should she say that she didn't bring it...?
"call……"
Hong Li exhaled deeply, turning into a wisp of white smoke: "It's alright, I'm a disciple of the Fire Department, I have special methods for keeping warm, I don't need to wrap myself up like a dumpling!"
"Oh--"
Hei Xiaoqi nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite: "Alright then..."
[Your contract partner (Hong Li) has sent a voice call invitation. Do you wish to accept?]
"You are not allowed to refuse me."
Hongli muttered under her breath, her face expressionless.
[Connection successful!]
"Hehe, it's getting warmer."
Hongli hugged her shoulders and trembled, but a flame ignited in her eyes.
A special way to keep warm: Talk to the Black Sun!

Chapter 94 Two People's Escape and Escape, Blankets and Hot Milk
"Hey, can you hear me?"
Hongli turned to the side, facing away from the wind: "Please respond if you receive this!"
"Ah, what's the matter?"
Hei Yang's voice was somewhat urgent, making one curious about what he was doing: "I'm doing something big!"
"Ah? What's the big deal?"
Hong Li frowned: "Wait, are you busy reselling the Qing family's property? Hei Yang, don't you have a heart? That's your own grandfather!"
"The Qing family's assets?"
A disdainful voice came from the black sun: "Too small-minded, Hong Li, your vision is too narrow!"
"You're still a child, don't try to answer with riddles!"
Hongli was stunned for a moment: "Wait, you didn't wipe out the entire Five Colors family, did you? You unfilial descendant!"
"Don't label me like that, I'm serious."
Thinking of the various treasures he had seen through the perspective of Daoist Shence, Hei Yang subconsciously glanced around furtively and whispered.
"Let me tell you, after this job, I can retire from this life... Pshaw, I almost made a vow."
What I mean is, if I succeed in this, I won't have to worry about money for a long time to come. In other words, I'm going to be rich!
"Ah, what does that mean?"
Hongli looked puzzled: "You've hooked up with a rich guy? She... no, it could also be him. How much does he give you a month?"
"Pah, pah, pah, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth."
Hei Yang cursed, "You're just making sarcastic remarks now. Wait until I become a rich guy, and you'll be green with envy, ha!"
"Just tell me whether what you did was illegal or not!"
Hong Li asked simply and directly, "Is it the kind of dirty business that requires selling your conscience?"
"No, my heart is burning with righteous indignation!"
Hei Yang said smugly, "Just wait and see, I'm going to stand up and still make money!"
"Well……"
Hongli asked suspiciously, "What are the chances?"
"Ten percent!"
"So confident?"
"I didn't have confidence at first, but a kind person took me under their wing and taught me the walkthrough step by step."
"Huh? That kind-hearted person actually has a strategy guide? Why doesn't he make money for you instead of himself?"
Hongli frowned even more deeply: "Don't fall into their scam!"
"According to my fabricated law of conservation of wealth, if I get rich, then naturally someone else will go bankrupt."
Hei Yang chuckled: "Guess who went bankrupt?"
"..."
Hong Li was silent for a moment, but based on her years of understanding of Hei Yang, she immediately came to the answer: "The kind person went bankrupt, right?"
"Hey, that's a good guess!"
Hei Yang chuckled: "Alright, I'm not going to waste any more time with you. I'm off to make my fortune!"
"Ow—"
Hong Li hung up the call expressionlessly. The cold wind made her brows furrow even more, and a strange sense of irritation rose in her heart.
That guy Hei Yang...
Why didn't you take her with you when you had a quick way to make money?
No, it doesn't seem like she's uncomfortable because of this.
Instead, Hei Yang was busy with something and even offered to hang up on her?
In the past, she could talk to Hei Yang all day without him getting impatient.
Since both of them were lazy and idle, they had nothing else to do and could stay there all day long.
But what just happened?
Has Hei Yang abandoned the light and joined the ranks of those engaged in intense competition, becoming so busy that he no longer has time to talk to her?
Although deep down, Hongli didn't think Heiyang had that kind of personality, what if he did?
What if the other person suddenly says they don't want to be a lazy dog anymore, leaving her all alone?
Hongli was somewhat at a loss.
Am I being too sensitive and dramatic?
A feeling of gain and loss arose in Hongli's mind. After being separated for so long, she longed more and more for those days they used to live.
The more one longs for those days, the more afraid one becomes that they will never return.
Optimistic people look forward, but she wanted to stay in that comfortable little circle, a circle with only the two of them.
Both she and Hei Yang knew how fragile and vulnerable their little circle was in this positive and striving era. Any change could mean they could never live the way they used to.
For example, if your parents suddenly fall seriously ill, the heavy burden of the family suddenly falls on your shoulders.
For example, the two people have an irreconcilable conflict, and their relationship breaks down so badly that they can never get back together.
For example, a demon might suddenly appear out of nowhere, barge into their lives, and tear everything they cherish to shreds...
"He's paying the price for my laziness..."
Hongli suddenly realized: "He's just as lazy as anyone else..."
Honestly, she didn't ask for much. All she wanted was for Hei Yang to stay by her side like before. She never thought about things like getting rich.
A blanket, a few cups of hot milk, a small pavilion, a restaurant window, and you're together for the day.
"It's really scary."
Hong Li murmured to herself, "I feel like everything is still under my control, I feel like I'm still in my comfort zone, but in reality, I've been unknowingly pushed into the unknown by life."
Looking at the towering snow-capped mountains that were getting closer and closer in the distance, Hong Li suddenly felt as if she had been transported to another world: "It's like a dream. Without realizing it, I stepped from a peaceful life into this bizarre and wonderful world."
This world may be wonderful, but it's for those who strive and work hard.
All she wanted was to retreat to that peaceful life, which, in her eyes, was what made life exciting.
Please forgive her for lacking lofty ambitions; a sparrow is attached to its warm nest.
[Hongli: Heiyang, I want to go home.]
[Black Sun: ...]
[Heiyang: I'll save enough for the trip home.]
[Hongli: Mm.]
"The wind."
Hongli raised her head, her face expressionless as the cold wind blew across her cheeks: "My comfort and peace are not something you can disturb. I will eventually lie back in that little pavilion."
He was knitting me a blanket, so I prepared some hot milk for him.
"Mother?"
