Ye Ning slept for a long time, and when she woke up it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
The snow outside hadn't stopped yet, it had just lessened a bit, and the sky was still a hazy gray. It seemed we might have to stay here for another day.
Xiao Jingchen and Brother Long Fei sat around the fire. Neither of them were good with words, and they stared silently at the fire.
Seeing that Ye Ning had gotten up, Long Fei silently took out a small box from his pocket.
"What is this?" Ye Ning asked curiously.
"Want to play Dou Dizhu? We're one short!" Long Fei asked seriously.
Ye Ning was speechless. This! Brother Long Fei really does have a dry sense of humor.
"Aren't you coming?" Long Fei silently put the box away again.
"Of course I'm here!" Ye Ning jumped up excitedly; she was a little gambling god.
She was gifted with this talent from a young age, and because she always dominated, over time no one wanted to play with her anymore.
Of course, Ye Ning comes from a strict family and gambling is out of the question.
Long Fei took out playing cards from the box and skillfully shuffled them. The three of them sat together.
"Call the landlord!" The first hand was a royal flush, amazing!
"Rob it!" Long Fei said in a deep, muffled voice.
"I'll take it again!" Ye Ning retorted defiantly.
"Fine! You can have it!" In the end, Long Fei gave in.
"Airplanes have wings!" Ye Ning was the first to unleash her ultimate move.
“Four rings!” Long Fei retorted, not to be outdone.
"Four Ks!" Keep up, you have to keep up.
Long Fei threw out four twos in one go.
"A royal flush!" La la la la! There can't be a bigger one now!
Long Fei frowned. "You go ahead and pay!"
"Then I won't hold back! One against three!"
"This!" Long Fei's mouth twitched.
Xiao Jingchen dropped all his cards, realizing he'd wasted his time in this game.
Long Fei silently began shuffling the cards.
While playing, Ye Ning felt her stomach rumbling, so she casually took out a few portions of the hotel's takeout food, heated them up slightly in a small pot, and immediately the aroma filled the air.
Xiao Jingchen found a small table from somewhere, cleaned it up a bit, and laid a disposable tablecloth on it, and it became a simple dining table.
After the three finished their meal, they started another card game. Two hours later, Long Fei was completely impressed by Ye Ning. She was incredibly strong.
"Look, it seems the snow has stopped!"
At 1 p.m., the snow finally stopped, and the temperature began to rise slowly.
Long Fei went out to measure the thickness of the snow, then returned to report, "The snow is now about thirty centimeters thick!"
"It shouldn't be a big problem. Delay could lead to complications. We don't know what's going on with Xinyuan Group yet. It's safer to go back to the shelter as soon as possible." Xiao Jingchen made the decision directly.
"But Ye Ning, are you sure you can handle it?" It had just snowed, and now they were going to walk along the coastline. I was worried that Ye Ning's body couldn't take it.
"I'm fine!" Ye Ning was also worried about the situation at the shelter and wanted to go back as soon as possible.
"Then let's set off at five o'clock this afternoon!"
This place is too close to the warehouse. Although he has superpowers, it would be very troublesome if he were found by a large number of people from Xinyuan Group.
After the plan was finalized, the three of them started packing their things and then leaned against the wall to rest with their eyes closed.
"Ye Ning!" Ye Ning's little finger was suddenly hooked.
"Jingchen, what's wrong!" Ye Ning opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Jingchen's handsome face, which was so close to hers.
"Ye Ning, I'm sorry!" he suddenly uttered these words.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?" Ye Ning said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I made you suffer. I will definitely work harder to protect you in the future!" Xiao Jingchen gently kissed the frostbite on Ye Ning's little finger with heartache.
"Jingchen, I'm fine." Ye Ning instinctively tried to hide her hands. "Jingchen, don't feel sorry. I'm not a hothouse flower. I can face everything with you."
"But it breaks my heart!" Xiao Jingchen held Ye Ning's hand in his palm.
Ye Ning leaned on Xiao Jingchen's shoulder and said in a playful tone, "Alright! Don't overthink it! Go and rest for a while!"
"Okay!" Xiao Jingchen hugged Ye Ning and fell asleep without realizing it.
Time flew by and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon; it was finally time to set off.
Long Fei and Xiao Jingchen began to clean up any traces of life that had been there.
Then all three of them put on thick, non-breathable winter clothes.
The moment Ye Ning emerged from the convention center, she felt a bone-chilling cold, like a venomous snake, seeping into her every crevice.
"Ye Ning, are you ready?" Xiao Jingchen asked considerately.
Ye Ning nodded, then sat on the back of the snowmobile and hugged Xiao Jingchen's waist tightly.
With the roar of the engine, the snowmobile sped across the snowfield.
Ye Ning shivered and clung tightly to Xiao Jingchen's waist. It was so cold, probably because it had just snowed and was much colder than when they arrived.
Ye Ning gritted her teeth and persevered, finally getting closer to her destination.
"Long Fei, let's stop up ahead!" Xiao Jingchen could tell that Ye Ning had been enduring the cold, but there were no buildings along the way to shelter them from the chill, so they had no choice but to continue.
Finally, they saw a building in the distance and quickly told Long Fei to stop.
"Long Fei, head south!" Xiao Jingchen pointed to the building.
"Jingchen, aren't we going back the way we came?" Ye Ning asked, somewhat puzzled.
Let's rest here for the night!
The motorcycle made a turn and sped off toward the building.
"Hey! There seem to be lights! Let's stop the snowmobile here first. Long Fei, go and check out the situation!" Xiao Jingchen suddenly stopped the vehicle.
Long Fei nodded, picked up the flashlight, concealed the weapon in his trench coat, and strode toward the light.
Xiao Jingchen carried Ye Ning out of the car.
"Ye Ning, are you alright?" He touched Ye Ning's cold face with concern.
"Brother Longfei, will you be alright going there alone?" Ye Ning asked with some concern.
In this apocalypse, anything can happen. Cold and hunger are terrible, but the human heart is even more terrifying.
"Brother Longfei is experienced, he should be fine. I'll wait for him here for a while. If he doesn't come back soon, I'll go find him!" Xiao Jingchen reassured him. He knew Longfei's abilities; ordinary people couldn't do anything to him, so there shouldn't be any problems.
