"It's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold. I also want to thank you for the instant noodles you brought me last night, they were delicious."
Qiao Lianyi's words almost made Qin Bai lose his composure.
He knew exactly what instant noodles looked like, but he never expected that Qiao Lianyi would insist that instant noodles were delicious.
Where can I find good food?
Is the chili not spicy enough?
Is the taste of instant noodles washed with water still the best?
As expected of a top-notch tea master, she made even the most upsetting things sound pleasant when she spoke about them.
"Really? Then I'll bring you some more next time?"
Qin Bai pretended not to know anything and said happily.
Qiao Lianyi's face turned pale. One meal had made her feel unwell all night, and she felt that her stomach would not be able to handle it if she ate it again.
"No...no need. Do you have any other food?"
Qiao Lianyi took this opportunity to ask.
"Any other food? No, only instant noodles. You know I'm a grown man, where would I have anything else?"
Qin Bai said with a smile.
Qiao Lianyi was very disappointed when she heard that Qin Bai only had instant noodles.
[Fine, instant noodles it is then. As long as there's no pickled cabbage packet, I'll just eat them like regular instant noodles.]
In order to get along well with Qin Bai, Qiao Lianyi really started doing physical labor, shoveling snow with Qin Bai.
Qin Bai continued to slack off, just like before, leaving almost all the work to Qiao Lianyi.
Many people witnessed this scene, and they were so frustrated that they couldn't understand why Qin Bai didn't cherish such a beautiful woman.
If it were them, they would never let a beautiful woman touch the broom!
Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer.
"Qin Bai, are you even a man? How can you make women do the work?"
Seeing the commotion, the others immediately put down their tools.
Qin Bai looked over and saw that the speaker was the burly man he had scared away with the fruit knife yesterday. In such cold weather, he was only wearing a very thin layer of clothing.
This outfit made him stand out from the crowd.
"none of your business."
Qin Bai glanced at him.
The burly man's face flushed with anger, and he reached out to grab Qin Bai.
However, in the next instant, Qin Bai stretched out a hand and placed it in front of the burly man's eyes.
He pulled a fruit knife out of nowhere.
A familiar fruit knife, a familiar scene!
This reminded the burly man of yesterday's scene, a second chance!
"Looks like the lesson I taught you last time wasn't enough."
Qin Bai's eyes were cold; at this moment, he gave off an icy feeling.
Qiao Lianyi couldn't help but gasp. Was the person in front of her really her simp, Qin Bai?
She felt that Qin Bai was like a completely different person.
The burly man swallowed hard; no matter how skilled he was, he was still afraid of a kitchen knife.
Besides, the other person's fruit knife was too close to his eyes.
He will become a one-eyed man if the other party makes even the slightest movement.
"Friend, it's all a misunderstanding. Don't get agitated, please don't get agitated."
The burly man chickened out and slowly backed away with his hands raised.
But Qin Bai did not retreat. Instead, he approached step by step, and amidst the gasps of the crowd, he stabbed down with his knife!
I'm going to become a one-eyed monster!
The burly man screamed inwardly and closed his eyes.
But the expected pain did not occur. Qin Bai's knife grazed his ear and plunged into the snow behind him.
But he could not forget Qin Bai's eyes; they were eyes that could truly kill!
"Things shouldn't happen more than three times."
After leaving those words, Qin Bai returned to his original position.
But this time, no one dared to cause trouble for Qin Bai; they were all intimidated by Qin Bai's imposing aura.
Just then, Cao Fengjiao went back for a while. When she came down, she noticed that the atmosphere here was a bit strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
"Goddess, I hope I didn't scare you just now. That person was really too much, daring to speak ill of you. No one should say anything bad about you!"
Looking at Qin Bai's honest smile, Qiao Lianyi was momentarily dazed. Which one was the real Qin Bai?
She was a little confused.
After this incident, no one dared to cause trouble for Qin Bai, and the snow removal work went very smoothly.
To Qin Bai's surprise, Lin Qin did not come down with him. He knew that Lin Qin would always be there whenever Qiao Lianyi was present.
Thanks to their hard work, the snow around the entrance of the residential area has finally been mostly cleared.
But looking at the snowflakes still falling from the sky, some people were worried that if the snow accumulated again, they would never be able to sweep it all away.
"Don't worry, I asked my friends at the weather bureau, and they said there shouldn't be any extra snowfall in the next few days, but the temperature is definitely going to drop."
Another person spoke.
"What? It's going to get colder? I'm already a little cold even though I'm wearing so many layers. If it gets any colder, am I going to have to wrap myself in a quilt?"
The drop in temperature has caused some concern among many people.
Sure enough, the main water pipe in the community burst that night and froze instantly in the low temperature.
The entire neighborhood is without water!
The only saving grace is that water and electricity are still available for the time being.
"My water supply is cut off, what about yours?"
"My house is gone too, what happened?"
A group of people were discussing it in the group chat, and finally Cao Fengjiao spoke up, saying, "I contacted the property management of the community, and they said that the main water pipe had burst, and they don't know when it will be repaired."
Upon hearing that the main water pipe had burst, everyone in the group was very anxious.
"I'm waiting for water to take a bath. Now that there's no water, how am I going to survive?"
"If there's no water, you can go outside and get some snow to take back; once it melts, it becomes water."
"Is the person upstairs a genius? Snow water isn't that clean."
"Otherwise, where are you going to get water?"
In order to avoid water shortages, some people have already started going downstairs to collect snow. However, Qin Bai looked at the bottled and barrelled water in his space, enough for him to use for a long time, and remained silent.
Water shortage?
It doesn't exist!
Others have to go through the hardship of going down to collect snow, bringing it back to melt, and then boiling it before they can use it.
He doesn't need to go through all that trouble; he can just pour the water into the kettle and boil it.
"At first, there was a water outage, then natural gas and electricity were introduced, and that's when things got interesting."
A smile appeared on Qin Bai's lips as he continued to enjoy his lavish dinner.
Meanwhile, Qiao Lianyi was preparing to contact Qin Bai and ask him to send over some more instant noodles.
But then, there was a knock on the door.
"It must be Qin Bai!"
Qiao Lianyi was very happy. She felt that the person who would bring food over on their own initiative without her having to ask was the most qualified simp.
But when she opened the door, it wasn't Qin Bai standing outside, but a man dressed in blue.
"Hello, someone placed an order for me to run an errand. This is for you."
The man handed the bag to Qiao Lianyi and then left.
