"Shh-"
Zhu Xiaowu made a silencing gesture to Jiang Fei and whispered:
"Fang Xiaomi just called Brother Xu over, as if she wanted to confess her feelings."
Hearing this, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu also squeezed together with the two of them to peek.
Inside the igloo.
Fang Xiaomi gave Xu Qianyao a pink scarf.
"Brother Xu, this is a scarf I made from an old sweater. Try it on and see if it fits you."
"Don't worry, I've washed all the sweaters."
Xu Qianyao said tactfully: "This color... doesn't suit me."
"But the old sweaters I can find are all pink and purple." Fang Xiaomi thought for a moment:
"Or I can change it to a knee brace for you. No one will see it when you wear it inside."
"No need to bother." Xu Qianyao put the scarf around his neck.
"I'm fine wearing it like this."
"Actually, Xiaomi, you don't need to make gloves, insoles, or anything like that for me. The supplies the government gave us already have all of these things."
"You can rest a little longer if you have that time."
"I want to do it for Brother Xu." Fang Xiaomi said with courage:
"Once the minerals are harvested, they will return home. We may never see them again."
"Brother Xu, I like you."
"You are responsible and have a strong sense of duty. You have many strengths that you cannot even see."
"Can you stay with me?"
Xu Qianyao was stunned and stuttered: "I, I, we are not suitable."
Fang Xiaomi was very straightforward: "Are you talking about my experience?"
"No!" Xu Qianyao quickly explained:
"You're so much younger than me."
"So what? Dating isn't about age." Fang Xiaomi pursed her lips.
"If you don't have feelings for me, I won't bother you anymore."
"If we have any feeling at all, we might as well give it a try."
"If it really doesn't work, let's part ways amicably."
Xu Qianyao was silent.
He was indeed a little attracted to Fang Xiaomi.
Otherwise, he wouldn't run faster than a rabbit every time Fang Xiaomi came to him for something.
The girl explained it so clearly that Xu Qianyao simply nodded:
"Okay, let's try it together."
"If you want to regret it, tell me anytime."
"No!"
Fang Xiaomi happily took Xu Qianyao's hand and said, "Let's go out. Otherwise, if we stay out for too long, the comrades will come looking for you and me."
When the two walked out of the ice house, they saw Jiang Fei and others gathered outside eavesdropping.
Xu Qianyao blushed instantly.
Fang Xiaomi shyly hid behind Xu Qianyao.
"Why are you all here?!"
"Jiang Fei, are you eavesdropping too?!"
Jiang Fei coughed lightly and said, "I'm here to ask Grandma Xu about your important life events."
"Hey, Brother Xu, don't be angry. Everyone is just worried that you'll be single for the rest of your life."
Zhu Xiaowu chuckled and changed the subject:
"Let's go celebrate Brother Xu getting out of being single!"
"It's almost twelve o'clock, let's welcome the New Year together!"
There is beer and liquor in the cafeteria.
Jiang Fei and the chef also cooked some side dishes.
Everyone was chatting and laughing.
Looking at Xu Qianyao and Fang Xiaomi holding hands not far away, Jiang Fei couldn't help but sigh:
“Fate is truly wonderful.”
"Some people can establish a relationship after being together for a while, while some people can never be together no matter how long they know each other."
"Who would have thought that Xu Qianyao would come to Antarctica and find a girlfriend?"
"Now Grandma Xu doesn't have to worry about him being single."
Lu Yu smiled and hugged Jiang Fei: "Brother Xu, you have found your destined person."
Suddenly someone said, "It's twelve o'clock!"
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them, saying in unison:
"Happy New Year!"
"It's the fifth year of the apocalypse. I hope we will live in peace forever!"
Jiang Fei drank up the wine in the glass.
She had a feeling that this year would be a good year.
—
Two days later.
Jiang Fei told the person in charge that her boss had collected the last of the ore.
Comrades, pack up and prepare to set off back to the Huaxia base today.
Sally and other female survivors from other countries chose to stay in Antarctica.
Their country basically no longer exists.
Even if they can live in the Huaxia base, it is not their home.
Unlike in Antarctica, they have become accustomed to life here and have a sense of belonging.
Jiang Fei did not force them, but left them with sufficient supplies and a small helicopter.
If they don't want to stay in Antarctica in the future, they can go somewhere else.
"China always welcomes friendly people to visit."
Sally hugged Jiang Fei gratefully: "May you be well."
"We can meet again in our lifetime."
After saying goodbye to Sally and the others, Jiang Fei boarded the plane and gave orders.
"go home!"
—
Once we were away from Antarctica, the weather returned to normal.
The team arrived at China's land base in the evening of the next day.
The pilot contacted the base in advance using the communicator, so as soon as Jiang Fei got off the plane, he saw Director Ning who came to pick him up.
Behind him were official personnel, residents of the base, and Jiang Zhengkang and others.
Some held flowers, and some held up banners.
Everyone shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Welcome home, comrades!"
Jiang Fei and his comrades raised their hands and saluted in response.
Since the ores and resources needed to be stored, Jiang Fei asked Lu Yu to go back with Xu Qianyao first.
She took Director Ning's car to the newly built warehouse at the base.
After Director Ning sent the guards away, Jiang Fei began to get things out.
After placing all the ores and resources, he took out a membership card.
