Ji Kangyong didn't want to be a bright third wheel; he got into his own car.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan got into the back seat of the car. Using Bi Qiaoan's bag, Shen Yanming took out a carton of milk, a piece of bread, and a chocolate bar, and got up to deliver them to Ji Kangyong.

Upon seeing what Shen Yanming was carrying, Ji Kangyong laughed, "Wow, you're something else! You managed to carry so much stuff while fleeing for your life?"

Shen Yanming raised an eyebrow. "Qiao An's bag is always full of all sorts of things, just in case something like this happens today."

Ji Kangyong nodded, "I've learned something. They were indeed prescient!"

Shen Yanming didn't say anything more and turned back to his car.

It was freezing cold in the car, even in the middle of the night. Shen Yanming turned on the air conditioning and took a thin blanket from the trunk to wrap Bi Qiaoan in. "Make do for now. We'll go back when it's light."

Bi Qiaoan nodded, looked around at the darkness, and yawned.

Shen Yanming leaned against the left car door and let Bi Qiaoan lie on his lap. He originally thought he wouldn't be able to sleep, but who knew that, listening to Bi Qiaoan's even breathing, Shen Yanming also slowly drifted off to sleep.

The night was quiet, so the alarm sounded particularly abruptly. Even though they were in the car, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were startled, like frightened birds.

"It's nothing, he's just going to work." Shen Yanming glanced out the window. The young man took the electric scooter key, pressed the unlock button, and then turned the key, and the scooter sped away.

Startled, Bi Qiaoan tried to sit up, but she couldn't get up at all; her neck and back were incredibly stiff.

Shen Yanming could tell from Bi Qiaoan's expression. He raised his hand and stroked Bi Qiaoan's neck, gently kneading it. After Bi Qiaoan felt a little better, he moved his hand to Bi Qiaoan's waist and back.

About ten minutes later, Bi Qiaoan sat up and chuckled, "I'm all better now. I just felt so good from the massage that I didn't want to move."

Shen Yanming smiled, not paying any attention. He glanced out the window; it was already broad daylight. "Going home?"

Bi Qiaoan nodded, "I need to go back and lie down for a while. It's too uncomfortable to sleep in the car."

After folding the blankets, the two got out of the car and called Ji Kangyong to go upstairs together.

There was no power in the building, so the elevator was out of service. The three of them walked up the stairs.

Ji Kangyong has great stamina and climbing nine floors is no problem for him, but Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan can't. They walked and rested intermittently, and it took them ten or twenty minutes to get back to the sixteenth floor.

As soon as the two entered the house, they felt a chill in the air. They pressed the light switch, and sure enough, there was no power!

This was troublesome; even the air conditioner couldn't be used. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan went straight back to their space and took a hot bath before they felt better.

The two rested in the space for a few more hours before leaving. It wasn't that the space was uncomfortable, but rather that it was too comfortable and too easy to become addicted to.

Shen Yanming put out the small stove he had lit yesterday and started simmering soup on it again, this time it was white fungus and lotus seed soup.

Then, the two snuggled into the cold quilt and shivered. Shen Yanming took out several hot water bottles from his space and placed a few at the feet and beside him, and the quilt slowly warmed up.

With no electricity at home, and neither of them sleepy, they were so bored that they picked up their phones and started scrolling through Weibo again.

To Bi Qiaoan's surprise, the fire last night became a trending topic.

It turns out that some of the residents who were watching last night were eager for a good show and decided to broadcast the fire live, but because it was late at night, not many people were watching.

I thought this matter was over, but this morning another residential area caught fire, and someone uploaded photos to Weibo.

These successive incidents sparked heated discussions, proving that the residents of Qinghua Kingdom still enjoy joining in the fun.

Netizens first cursed the families whose homes caught fire for being careless, knowing that Qinghua Kingdom was currently short of water, yet still daring to let their homes catch fire, and weren't they afraid that no one would clean up the mess for them?

Then, everyone praised Qinghua Kingdom for making preparations in advance, ensuring that even during the dry season, the fire department had enough water to deal with emergencies.

As netizens discussed the incident, they even started a poll to guess the cause of the fire. The most popular guesses were that the fire was caused by an electric blanket or by improper use of a coal stove.

This shows that the current temperature is already becoming unbearable for everyone, and netizens have started to use all sorts of creative methods.

Regardless of the method, there are always security risks. Taking advantage of this trending topic, Qinghe Alliance directly posted a Weibo on its official Weibo account.

"When it's cold, pay attention to how you keep warm. When using a coal stove, be careful to prevent fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. Unplug electric blankets promptly after use. Keep at least two meters away from electric hot water bottles while they are charging..."

Fires are more likely to occur during the dry season, and firefighting is more difficult. Rather than waiting for a disaster to happen and then crying out, it is better to nip it in the bud!

(Haha, Qinghe Alliance reminds you that heating will be delivered at the end of this month! As for why we're not delivering now? Because of the water shortage! Why will we deliver later? To prevent the pipes from freezing! Hang in there, everyone!)

The message in parentheses playfully revealed inside information about this year's warm-weather program, and at the same time, netizens also learned where the freshwater from seawater desalination goes.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan played on their phones until the batteries died, but what could they do on a weekend without battery? They could only go to bed early and get up early.

Before going to sleep, Shen Yanming put the small stove back into his spatial storage as usual. He originally used the stove to make himself more comfortable, but yesterday's fire left a deep impression on him.

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan woke up. Bi Qiaoan felt that she couldn't stretch her arms at all, and stayed in bed until after seven o'clock before getting up to eat.

During the meal, Shen Yanming noticed that Bi Qiaoan kept sniffling. It seemed that the ordeal of the past two days had caught her a cold.

Therefore, Shen Yanming prepared a rather lavish meal today. He put mutton and radish soup and steamed buns in two insulated containers, and after thinking about it, he also brought a cup of ginger cola in an insulated cup.

When they arrived at work, Shen Yanming handed the ginger cola to Bi Qiaoan, saying, "Drink some first and see if it helps with your cold. If it doesn't, you'll have to take medicine."

Bi Qiaoan nodded, drinking the spicy Fatty's Water. She thought it tasted good, but after only a few sips, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan quickly got into work mode, unaware that several young men in the office were whispering among themselves.

At noon, before Shen Yanming even opened his lunchbox, Yu Shui came over with a disposable paper cup. "Hey, you two aren't getting enough nutrition eating vegetarian food every day, so this is a gift from your brothers, it's good stuff!"

Bi Qiaoan took a look and asked, "What is this? Meat soup?"

Before Yu Shui could finish looking at Qiao An, she winked at Shen Yanming and said, "Snake meat is very nutritious!"

Looking at the pinkish-white pieces of flesh, Bi Qiaoan felt a wave of nausea...
