Chapter 11 Cousin Wang Yu Returns
The conversation that day came to an abrupt end and the two returned to their own nests.
Ye Xun tossed and turned on the boat, unable to fall asleep because he had tried to make up for his sleep during the day. He opened an order for a takeout meal, and ordered it to be delivered the next day. He tossed and turned in bed until two or three in the morning before he finally felt sleepy.
If you go to bed late, you will naturally wake up late the next day.
The rain fell all night with no sign of stopping. Instead, it got heavier and heavier. The gloomy sky seemed to have a hole in it and the water could not stop leaking out.
I opened my phone and found several missed calls. When I called back, they were all virtual numbers, and they were from the delivery man.
The items that I ordered before going to bed have been delivered and were taken by Qin Wei to the freezer. They are mainly frozen foods, dumplings, some frozen poultry, and a lot of noodles.
Qin Wei was used to getting up early because of his work and rest schedule. He would first get up and lift the heavy curtain to check the weather, and then do morning exercises.
Ye Xun didn't buy any exercise equipment, so Qin Wei had to do a few sets of push-ups and sit-ups. After the exercises, his breathing didn't change much and he didn't sweat much.
I was brushing my teeth and washing my face when I heard the doorbell. The delivery guy who was soaked by the rain opened the door and there were bags piled on the floor.
Although they were a little wet, the packaging was not damaged and would not affect storage. Qin Wei carried all the things in and put them in the freezer.
By the time breakfast was ready, it was actually almost ten o'clock. During this time, Qin Wei went out in the rain.
When he came, he drove his own car, a high-clearance jeep, but its wheels were also submerged in the water. Fortunately, no water entered the car.
Fearing that the water level would rise, we didn’t drive too far and found a medium-sized supermarket near the community.
Two grown men can eat a lot of food in a day. Ye Xun also has a cousin, so Qin Wei put five bags of 20 kilograms of rice directly into the shopping cart.
The frozen food delivered today seemed to be quite a lot, but without the over-packaging in plastic bags, three adults wouldn't be able to finish it for long. Qin Wei added a lot of buns to the shopping cart, which had rich flavors and were more filling than dumplings.
Passing by the meat area, I cut 30 kilograms of pork, 40 kilograms of beef, and 10 whole chickens and ducks according to my own taste. Fresh fish is difficult to preserve, so I had to give up.
I can have five pounds of dried salted fish, and some ham from J Province, which has a strong flavor, so two pieces will be enough.
Qin Wei, who originally just wanted to buy a few things, ended up pushing three shopping carts, which were almost overflowing. The supermarket guides were stunned when they saw it.
On the way back to the community, the water level rose again, and the speed of rise was very fast. The wheels were originally submerged to two-thirds of the position, but now it is three-quarters.
These things were brought into the elevator in two batches.
Ye Xun bought three freezers of the largest specifications for his home. After Qin Wei put all the frozen food in them, he still couldn't fill up the second freezer.
The stockpiled food can sustain three people for a long time.
After finishing his work, he looked at his phone and it was already half past nine. Qin Wei estimated that after cooking, Ye Xun should get up, so he planned to make a bowl of noodles.
The soup base is made with yesterday’s beef bone soup, with a few pieces of beef and a perfectly fried egg added, and finally sprinkled with chopped green onions.
Ye Xun vaguely smelled fragrance in his sleep, opened his eyes, and found that it was almost 10 o'clock. Wang Yu should be back today, so he had to tidy up her room.
Thinking of this, he straightened up and sat up from the bed.
As he walked out of the room, the aroma became real, the smell of beef mixed with the aroma of onions. Ye Xun immediately knew that Qin Wei was making something delicious again.
His originally sloppy teeth-brushing speed immediately quickened. After finishing, he scooped up a handful of cold water to wash his face, and he instantly felt refreshed.
Bal now sleeps with Ye Xun in the bedroom, and will naturally follow his master when he leaves.
When he came out, Qin Wei was just sitting there. When he saw Ye Xun, he put the bowl in his hand as close to him as possible and went back to the kitchen.
When he came back, he was holding two bowls in his hands, but one of them was a large iron basin, which was obviously prepared for Bal.
Bal also recognized the fellow who was eating, and knew that he also had a share, so he immediately squatted straight up, and his tail almost shook out an afterimage.
This guy is well trained. He won't beg for food without orders. He will just use his eyes to signal the other party to eat quickly. He is so greedy.
Qin Wei didn't tease it either. He placed the large iron basin in front of it and said, "You can eat now."
After saying that, he sat down at the coffee table and started eating noodles.
Ye Xun didn't care about their interaction at all, and was addicted to eating noodles. He didn't expect that the mercenary he found was not only handsome, but also had good cooking skills, and the food was even better than Ye's father's.
What Ye's father boasted about all his life was his cooking skills. He often told Ye Xun that it was because he delivered meals to Ye's mother every day that he was able to stand out from thousands of people and marry her home.
According to Ye Xun's appetite, he would not be able to finish this large bowl of noodles, but it was so delicious that he ate it until his stomach was full and he lay on the sofa like a paraplegic.
After Qin Wei finished cleaning the dining table, he lowered the coffee table and put the nut plate from the cabinet back on the sofa.
Turning on the TV, it asked Ye Xun: "What movie do you want to watch?"
Ye Xun thought about it and decided to watch a classic movie, "2012."
The movie starts playing.
In fact, Ye Xun has watched this film many times, the last time being when he discovered his own space. But every time he watches it, he feels a different mood in his heart.
When I watched it then, I felt a sense of unreality that the world was going to end. Looking back now, I feel like the end of the world has already arrived.
Neither of them is the type to talk while watching a movie, and they were very absorbed in watching the movie for a while.
When the plot reached its climax, the phone suddenly rang.
It was Ye Xun's cell phone. Wang Yu's name was flashing on the screen. He answered it immediately.
"Xiaoyu, you got off the plane, right?"
"It's been a while since I got off the plane. I wanted to take a taxi back to give you a surprise, but the rain is too heavy and many people are trapped at the airport. Brother, is it convenient for you to come pick me up? If not, I'll stay at the airport for one night and take a taxi back when the rain stops."
Although I really want to go home, it is easy to have a traffic accident when it rains so heavily.
Ye Xun naturally couldn't let his sister stay outside. If he didn't come back now, there would be no chance in the future, and the water on the road would only get deeper and deeper.
He asked Wang Yu: "Which airport are you at? Send me the location."
Wang Yu sent it immediately.
According to the navigation, the distance is about 40 kilometers. Normally, it takes less than an hour to drive there. But in the current weather, it will probably take nearly an hour and a half or even longer.
Before leaving, I reminded him again on the phone: "Xiaoyu, go to the convenience store now and buy as much food as you can to fill your stomach. Find a place to quietly throw the clothes in the suitcase into the trash can. Put everything in there. I'll be there in about two hours."
After saying that, he pulled Qin Wei to the underground garage, and Bal stayed behind to look after the house.
The rainfall was huge, and the community's drainage system was just a drop in the bucket in the face of the accumulated water. The two went down to the garage, and found that the car was almost half submerged. They took a lot of effort to wipe the car dry.
At the airport, Wang Yu was hung up on. She was confused by what her cousin said, but she listened to the advice and ate her fill. She had always listened to her cousin since she was a child, and nothing had ever happened to her.
Wang Yu dragged two suitcases to an empty corner, opened the suitcases, took out all the clothes inside, and threw them into the trash can next to them, leaving only some valuables.
Then I went to a convenience store and looked for something to eat, such as bread, instant noodles, instant porridge, vacuum-packed meat products, and drinking water. I bought two large bags and went to the checkout counter to pay.
Stuff the suitcase full.
Family members who lived nearby drove to pick them up. Wang Yu looked out from the second floor of the airport. She did not go to the first floor because the water had already flooded into the first floor and the chairs were no longer seatable.
I couldn't remember how many cars I had seen off until a jeep came outside and a familiar figure got out.
Wang Yu excitedly ran with the suitcase, without stopping, and ran straight to the first floor.
The two suitcases were expensive and had good waterproof properties. They rolled heavily in the accumulated water, but not a drop of water got into the suitcases.
This is what I found when I opened my suitcase after arriving home.
After getting in the car, Ye Xun decided to explain the end of the world to Wang Yu.
This matter was not suitable for outsiders to hear, so the two went to Ye Xun's bedroom.
When Wang Yu heard about the end of the world, he was shocked and said, "Are you sure? Didn't they say that the end of the world theory is just a rumor?"
Ye Xun naturally knew that this kind of thing was beyond human imagination, so he directly proved it and turned it into a living dog.
Bal, who was originally sleeping soundly, disappeared in the room in an instant, and reappeared in the same place after a few seconds.
Judging from Wang Yu's wild blinking in disbelief, he must have believed it.
Next is the Q&A session, "So do you have any questions you want me to answer?"
Of course, she had many questions, but what she wanted to know most was, "Brother, do you think humans can survive this disaster?"
Ye Xun comforted him: "Of course you can."
Not knowing whether Wang Yu believed it or not, she started talking about other topics.
"Hey, brother, who is this handsome guy who came with you today? Could he be my future sister-in-law?" The silly girl said while winking.
"No, don't think too much. I don't like this type." Ye Xun refused three times in a row.
As for the fact that Ye Xun liked men, it was when he was in high school. He told his parents on a whim, and then was chased and beaten by his father with a broom. It happened that Wang Yu forgot to bring her homework that day, so everyone knew about it.
Ye's parents are both highly educated people. They know that sexual orientation is innate, and if it can't be corrected, they just give up. But this child doesn't date. When others fall in love early, he does exams. When others eat forbidden fruit, he secretly plays games. Until now, he doesn't even have a serious partner.
In fact, it's not that Ye Xun doesn't want to date, it's just that he can't find one. He prefers gentle and perverted types, but his peers in middle school are all stupid, and the perverts he met in college are real perverts, so he has been single ever since.
Besides, Qin Wei is not within his range of mate selection. He admits that both her looks and figure are amazing, but not everyone likes people with poor figures. If a dispute arises, he will only get beaten.
