"Hey, why think so much? Just keep the things safe and give them to that girl later."

"Yes, yes, there's no use in thinking about it so much. Let the professionals investigate."

Everyone agreed with this. However, the question of where to put the ice and who should keep it proved to be a problem.

Because nobody wants to take that responsibility.

An unusual lump of ice—who knows what trouble it might cause?

I wish I hadn't come to join in the fun.

Just as they were arguing, someone else cried out, "Ouch, ouch!" while covering their forehead.

Then, looking around, they found two deep pits not far away, with identical bottoms filled with ice blocks of different sizes.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Why wasn't this ice block going to stop?

Is this really not a prank?

Before they could express their opinions, countless ice floes began to fall from the sky, stinging painfully as they hit people.

Those who were unlucky enough to be hit on the head by ice cubes the size of eggs suffered either broken skin or bulges. Some even fainted and suffered concussions.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were also dumbfounded. They never expected that going out to join in the fun would lead to such a sudden disaster.

The two of them hugged An'an and Nuannuan tightly and hurriedly ran towards the dormitory building.

However, the snow was quite deep, limiting their speed. They were hit by snowballs countless times along the way.

Shen Yanming was alright; at least wearing a leather hat provided some cushioning.

But Bi Qiaoan's protective shield was only loosely worn on her hair, and it was knocked off in no time when the ice block hit her.

It was only because the crowd was in disarray that no one noticed what was happening here.

Bi Qiaoan didn't bother picking them up, and walked forward with Nuannuan in her arms, her head down. She roughly counted that at least eleven or twelve ice lumps hit her head along the way, making her dizzy when she entered the building, and she almost fell.

Shen Yanming was quick-witted and nimble-fingered, managing to help.

Many people whose homes were a little distance away followed suit and went inside the building. Seeing this, they quickly helped to support the people.

However, seeing that Qiao An's skin was fair and delicate, they didn't dare to touch her. They were afraid that if the pustules on their bodies burst, they would infect her.

Shen Yanming thanked everyone for their kindness before saying to Bi Qiaoan, "You squat against the wall for a while. I'll take An'an up there and come down to get you right away."

Bi Qiaoan knew it wasn't a matter of bravado, and nodded palely when the time came.

Shen Yanming quickened his pace, leaping three steps at a time. He rushed into the house as fast as he could, placed An'an in the crib, and then rushed back downstairs.

He was so worried about his wife that he hadn't even changed An'an's clothes. When he ran downstairs, he saw cold sweat on Bi Qiao'an's forehead. He hugged Nuan Nuan and asked, "Wife, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Bi Qiaoan shook her head, and with great effort said, "I'm fine, just a little dizzy, probably from being hit so hard."

"Young man, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and help your wife home so she can lie down and rest for a while. It's not possible to see a doctor now, the ice is still falling outside, and it doesn't seem to be stopping at all."

Shen Yanming glanced outside through the crowd and, sure enough, the ice blocks were as dense as summer hailstones. Only they were significantly larger and much rounder.

Seeing this, Shen Yanming nodded: "Thank you all for reminding me. I'll take my wife home to rest now."

"Need any help?" the man asked, then realized it wasn't appropriate, "Well, my wife is here."

Shen Yanming hesitated for a moment, realizing that it might be difficult to help Bi Qiaoan while holding his daughter.

Seeing that the other person was a particularly clean and efficient woman with few pustules on her face, I nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, ma'am."

Du Shanhong, who was called out, was a little confused at first, but when she heard the young man thank her, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just helping someone get home, it's really no big deal."

Shen Yanming smiled gratefully and led the way. Bi Qiaoan tried her best not to put her weight on him and walked forward step by step.

After finally getting to the third floor and opening the door, I heard An'an crying loudly.

Bi Qiaoan grew anxious and gestured for Shen Yanming to go check what was going on. She then invited Sister Du to sit down, saying, "Please, make yourself at home."

Du Shanhong had only come to see someone off and had no intention of visiting their home. So she waved her hand and said, "No, no, you guys are busy, I'll go down now."

After saying that, he rushed downstairs, leaving Bi Qiaoan unable to utter the words to call for help.

When Shen Yanming carried An'an out, he saw his wife sitting weakly on the sofa. He asked, "Where's that lady? Did she leave?"

Bi Qiaoan nodded: "Yes, I couldn't keep him."

Shen Yanming placed An'an and Nuannuan next to Bi Qiao'an and asked her, "How are you? Are you alright?"

"Feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit, I'm afraid I might have a concussion. What kind of ice egg is this? It's really too cruel."

Seeing that she was still in the mood to joke, Shen Yanming knew that it shouldn't be too serious.

Avoiding An An and Nuan Nuan's gaze, she went into the kitchen, took out some spiritual fruits and a cup of spiritual spring water from her space, as well as the leftover milk powder that An An and Nuan Nuan had drunk in the early morning, and put it in front of Bi Qiaoan: "Eat and drink some, and see if it helps."

Bi Qiaoan nodded and drank the warm water in one gulp.

Seeing this, Shen Yanming took a baby bottle and fed the two little ones.

Seeing that her mother was also drinking water, An'an and Nuan'an didn't refuse. Holding their little bottles, they sucked and sucked, completely unfazed by the scene outside.

Shen Yanming took the opportunity to remove their coats and felt relieved when he found that the cotton-padded jackets inside were still dry.

About ten minutes later, Bi Qiaoan's symptoms improved significantly, and she was no longer dizzy or lightheaded.

Shen Yanming was relieved to see that her complexion had improved considerably. He was just about to change An'an and Nuannuan's clothes and give them a bath when he discovered that the power was out.

Having experienced numerous large-scale power outages before, the couple wasn't surprised. They figured it was an iceberg that had snapped a power line. The only saving grace was that the heating hadn't stopped. They just didn't know if it would survive this disaster.

Seeing that his wife was better, Shen Yanming said, "I'll go down and check on those two. If they don't want to come up and sit for a while, I'll bring them some hot water. It must be quite cold down there."

Bi Qiaoan nodded: "Well, they did lend a hand, so it's only right. If all else fails, we can give them a couple of umbrellas so they can manage to get home."

"Alright, I'll go downstairs and ask. This ice isn't going to stop anytime soon, and it's not good for us to keep hiding outside."

Shen Yanming went back to the kitchen to get his own thermos, and also grabbed a few disposable paper cups.
