   In the carriage. His slender fingers were placed on the steering wheel, his knuckles were slightly white, and his tone was cold: "What tool?" The woman's red lips were slightly hooked, and her eyes were a bit drunk. She tapped his tie lightly with her fingertips, and her voice was soft and waxy: "Lend me your heart... For a while." Jiang Shibai's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to clasp her wrist, with a low voice: "Ye Zhaoran, you are drunk." Ye Zhaoran chuckled, leaned forward, and almost leaned against his ear. His warm breath brushed against his ear: "I'm not drunk... I just missed you suddenly." The snow outside the car was still falling, and the halo of street lights filtered in through the car window, reflecting on her drunken face, making her eyes particularly bright. Jiang Shibai's Adam's apple twitched slightly and he was silent for two seconds. He suddenly unbuckled his seat belt and pushed her back into the passenger seat. His voice was restrained and said, "Sit tight and I'll take you home." Ye Zhaoran tilted his head and looked at him with a deeper smile: "Jiang Shibai, your ears are red." "..." He started the car expressionlessly, stepped on the accelerator, and the red flag car slowly drove into the snowy night. The car was quiet for a few seconds, and Ye Zhaoran suddenly spoke softly: "I never talk about a lifetime, because a lifetime is too long..." Jiang Shibai's hand holding the steering wheel paused slightly. She turned her face sideways, looked at his profile, and said in a voice as soft as snow: "But I want to tell you forever." The man's eyes suddenly darkened a little, and the car slowed down unconsciously. Snow is still falling. At this moment, it seemed as if something was quietly taking root in silence.
