Su Chenhao nodded knowingly: "I'll take the money and ask them later if they have any meat stored."

Qiao Xiaoni naturally agreed without hesitation. Only then did she remember she was supposed to go home; what was the point of buying so much stuff?

I put on my shoes, went out to the window, and saw that it was snowing heavily outside. The outside world had turned into a vast expanse of white, and I couldn't see a single person.

"How could the snow be so heavy? If it were rain, it would have flooded the whole city."

"I sensed something was off about the snow yesterday; it was just too heavy." Su Chenhao gazed at the snow outside the window, realizing it seemed they wouldn't be able to return anytime soon. Unless they used their cultivation to bring Qiao Xiaoni back, but that would likely alarm the Heavenly Dao.

In order not to alert the enemy, I had to be patient and go back a little later.

Qiao Xiaoni: "It seems that God doesn't want us to go back early. We can only stay here and enjoy our time together."

Su Chenhao laughed: "It seems like a bad thing has turned into a good thing. It'll be difficult to have this kind of time alone with just the two of us when we get back."

The heavy snow that has been falling for three days has prevented everyone from going out, and it has also prevented Zhu San from taking action.

Two of his subordinates disagreed with taking action in the heavy snow, so the matter was delayed again and again until Guo Chenpi was discharged from the hospital.

He didn't want to be discharged, but his health had almost fully recovered, and the shortage of hospital beds forced him to vacate his bed.

When the two left the hospital, they discovered that they hadn't been provided with accommodation yet; their old house had been burned down. Everything they owned was completely destroyed.

“I have a one-bedroom apartment on the outskirts of the city, but I can’t find a car to get back.” Guo Chenpi wrapped his coat tighter around himself. He knew it was cold outside when he was in the hospital, but he didn’t expect it to be even colder after he came out.

Tang Jiajia clutched her stomach: "How about we find the nearest hotel to stay in, and once the roads are open, we'll figure out a way to get back?"

The snow on the road was over ten centimeters deep, making it impossible to clear, and the roads had long been restricted to car travel.

“Alright, go to the hotel now and ask if there are any rooms available and what the price is. We don’t have much money left, so we can only afford the cheapest room.” Guo Chenpi said matter-of-factly.

Tang Jiajia objected: "Your hands and feet are all better now, why shouldn't you go?"

"Stop talking nonsense! It's getting dark. If we waste time, we won't have anywhere to stay tonight, and we'll have to sleep in the snow." Guo Chenpi urged impatiently.

If what happened before hadn't happened, he wouldn't have treated Tang Jiajia like that. In his view, if he didn't cherish his woman, why should an outsider feel sorry for her?

But my thoughts are different now. Isn't that what relationships are all about?

He treated Tang Jiajia so well, but what did he get in return? Nothing but disdain, and she wished he would get as far away as possible.

Tang Jiajia had no choice but to brave the heavy snow to find a hotel near the hospital, only to discover after asking around that the prices were outrageously expensive. Rooms that usually cost three to five yuan a night were now over ten yuan.

They say they provide hot water and meals, but what's the point? Frustrated, I asked three different places, and the prices didn't get cheaper; in fact, they went up.

Ultimately, he had no choice but to return to the hospital entrance and mingle with Guo Chenpi.

Guo Chenpi had been waiting impatiently for a long time. Women really weren't good at getting things done; they had been gone for almost an hour before returning.

"Why are you only getting back now? Did you want to freeze me to death?!"
