Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
The next day, both Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan woke up late.
Bi Qiaoan opened her eyes and found herself trapped in an embrace. Recalling everything that happened before she went to sleep, she actually felt a hint of sweetness.
Bi Qiaoan gently traced the man's eyebrows and eyes with her fingers, over and over again, until her wrist was gently grasped by a big hand.
"Good morning, dear!" Shen Yanming leaned over and gave Bi Qiaoan a good morning kiss on the forehead.
"Good morning, dear!" Bi Qiaoan imitated Shen Yanming and kissed him on the left cheek.
Then Bi Qiaoan laughed and buried herself in the quilt, feeling so shy.
Chen Yanming was in a good mood at the moment. Although they only kissed and hugged each other last night, he could finally hold his wife to sleep. His wife finally regarded him as a man.
Shen Yanming carried Bi Qiaoan to wash up, and held Bi Qiaoan to eat breakfast, and gave her a kiss from time to time.
Ugh, so greasy!
After changing their clothes and getting ready to go out, they realized that they were going to be late. They didn't dare to dawdle any longer and hurried out to drive.
The rain was still falling, more or less obstructing the view. Shen Yanming drove very slowly, and by the time he sent Bi Qiaoan to the Human Resources Bureau, it was already half past nine.
Bi Qiaoan hurried upstairs and was stunned when he entered the office. "Hey, what's going on today? Why are there so few people?"
Wei Qin said without even looking up from her phone: "It's raining non-stop, they all asked for leave."
Li Yueya also curled her lips, "Here, no one has come to do business since it started raining. It's boring for everyone to stay here every day."
"Then just play with the internet on your phone." Bi Qiaoan smiled, "However, if it keeps raining, we can arrange shifts and take turns to be on duty, so that so many people don't have to go back and forth every day, which is not only unsafe but also a waste of resources."
After Bi Qiaoan finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, so he added: "But who knows if it will rain tomorrow?"
"Do you find this rain a little unusual?" a boy in the office spoke up.
Yu Shui scratched his head and continued, "I have been checking the weather forecast for a while now. 80% of the places in Qinghua Country are experiencing rain. Once it starts raining, it never stops."
Others in the office were also attracted by Yu Shui's remarks and asked, "Really? I only pay attention to our Hai City and haven't checked the weather forecasts of other cities."
"I checked Weibo and saw many netizens saying it was raining where they were and they were worried about being affected by the disaster."
"This seems a little abnormal!"
Panic spread throughout the office, but Yu Shui hadn't finished speaking yet, "I also paid attention to foreign countries..."
Everyone looked at Yu Shui's solemn expression and had a bad premonition.
"Overseas, there are many countries with the same situation as Qinghua Country, and more and more countries are beginning to have rain..."
Bang! Li Yueya's water cup fell to the ground. She was scared.
"No, it's not the end of the world, is it?" Li Yueya's voice trembled and her eyes were red.
There was silence in the office, and everyone was in panic.
Seeing that everyone looked pale, Wei Qin said, "You young people just overthink things. Maybe it's just a special weather phenomenon. Who has ever seen rain in the end of the world?
Don’t the novels you young people read all say that there will be zombies in the end times? Look at our society, it’s stable, there are no zombies at all!
Don't even think about it, don't scare yourself into something bad."
In fact, Wei Qin's heart was not as calm as she appeared to be. She was panicking because the weather was obviously abnormal.
Wei Qin decided to go to the supermarket to buy some food after get off work today.
The others looked much better after being comforted by Wei Qin. After all, people still like to hear news like "everything is fine as usual".
In the office of the Imperial Capital Qinghe Alliance, Chief Alliance Officer Li Cheng looked at the person in front of him with a serious expression.
"What did the meteorological department say?"
"The meteorological department has studied it and found nothing. This rainfall is just like usual!"
"Same? You feel the same too? Usually it rains all over the country and it doesn't stop for half a month? It's raining all over the world?"
"......"
"What about the intelligence department? Is there any news from abroad?"
"People abroad are just as confused as we are, and have no idea why it's raining all over the world."
Chief Alliance Officer Li sighed deeply, "Then tell me, what do you think of this global rainfall phenomenon?"
Everyone in the office was like quails, with their heads down and not saying a word.
Chief Alliance Officer Li threw the materials in his hand to the ground, "No one has any ideas? If not, go and investigate! If the national departments can't solve it, consult the masses and investigate if there are any abnormalities in the country in the past six months, including the climate, people, and objects!"
"yes!"
"The notice was passed down, and all parts of the country were required to make good flood prevention preparations, and to evacuate flooded people immediately. Close attention was paid to the situation in mountainous areas, and people must be evacuated before mountain torrents and mudslides occurred, and before reservoirs released water, to ensure the safety of people's lives... Closely follow the situation of online public opinion, actively guide netizens to prevent and fight floods, and pay attention to calming the panic of the people..."
"clear!"
After everyone left, Chief Alliance Officer Li sat in his office, exuding a decadent air. He had a bad premonition, as if the end of the world was about to happen.
After get off work, Wei Qin really went to the supermarket to shop.
There are not many people in the supermarket. I guess people don’t want to go out on a rainy day.
Wei Qin wanted to buy big bags of rice and flour, but she, a woman, couldn't carry them.
After looking around the grain and oil area for a long time, Wei Qin decided to buy some more vacuum-packed rice.
After throwing a dozen bags of rice into the shopping cart, Wei Qin thought for a while, and then bought five bags of brown sugar, five bags of white sugar, and ten bags of salt.
There weren't many things in the shopping cart, but Wei Qin thought she wouldn't be able to carry any more, so she paid the bill and staggered home carrying a large plastic bag.
When they got home, Wei Qin's husband An Dongyang complained to Wei Qin, asking why she bought so much rice again. The family had just bought a big bag and hadn't eaten much of it yet. Besides, sugar and salt are eaten very slowly. If she bought so much at once, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish it even after the expiration date.
An Dongyang kept talking for a long time, but Wei Qin was not angry. They had lived together for 10 to 20 years, and she knew that her man had no bad intentions, he was just careful in life.
So Wei Qin had a serious talk with her husband about the news she heard in the office today. Wei Qin said she was feeling anxious.
An Dongyang was also startled after hearing this, and he complained, "You are so old and you still believe such rumors," but he was searching for related information on his mobile phone to verify its authenticity.
Ten minutes later, An Dongyang closed his phone and said, "Wife, what should I do? I am panicking too!"
Wei Qin forced herself to remain calm, "Let's stock up on some food first. Let's buy this kind of vacuum-packed food, which can be stored for a longer time."
An Dongyang nodded and said, "I'll go buy it now."
