"Shh-"
Zhu Xiaowu made a silent 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 in 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 knee pads for you, so no one can 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 have to make gloves, insoles or anything like that for me. These things are all included in the supplies given to us by the government."
"You can rest more if you have that time."
"I want to do it for Brother Xu." Fang Xiaomi mustered up the courage to say:
"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 sense of responsibility. You have many advantages that you cannot even see."
"Can you come with me?"
Xu Qianyao was stunned and stuttered: "I, I, we are not suitable."
Fang Xiaomi said bluntly: "Are you talking to me because of my experience?"
"No!" Xu Qianyao quickly explained:
"You're much younger than me."
"So what? Dating doesn't depend on age." Fang Xiaomi pursed her lips:
"If you don't have any 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 just 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 said it so clearly, Xu Qianyao simply nodded:
"Okay, let's try it together."
"If you want to regret it, tell me anytime."
"No!"
Fang Xiaomi happily held 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, "Please take care of your personal affairs on behalf of Grandma Xu."
"Hey, Brother Xu, don't be angry. Everyone is just worried that you will be single for the rest of your life."
Zhu Xiaowu chuckled and changed the subject:
"Let's go, let's celebrate Brother Xu's ending 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 amazing.”
"Some people establish a relationship after being together for a while, while some people can never be together no matter how long they have known 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 has found his 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 last five years. I hope we will be safe 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.
The comrades packed up their things and prepared to return to the Huaxia base the next day.
Sally and other female survivors from other countries chose to stay in Antarctica.
They have lost all the foundation of their country.
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 just 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.
"Huaxia always welcomes friendly people to visit us."
Sally hugged Jiang Fei gratefully: "May you be well."
"In a few years, we can meet again."
After saying goodbye to Sally and others, Jiang Fei got on the plane and gave orders.
"go home!"
—
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 through the communication channel, so that when Jiang Fei got off the plane, he saw Director Ning who came to pick him up.
Behind him were official people, residents of the base, and Jiang Zhengkang and others.
Some held flowers in their hands, and some held up banners.
Everyone shouted at the top of their voice.
"Welcome home, comrades!"
Jiang Fei and his comrades raised their hands and saluted in response.
Because of the need to store ore and resources, Jiang Fei asked Lu Yu to follow Xu Qianyao back to Tang first.
She took Director Ning's car and drove to the newly built warehouse at the base.
After Director Ning sent the guards away, Jiang Fei started to get things out.
After placing all the ores and resources, he took out a membership card.
"I want to take you to a place."
Director Ning took the membership card doubtfully, but before he could ask any questions, the scene around him suddenly changed.
They stood on a piece of land.
On the opposite side, a cat, a dog and a wolf stared at them curiously.
Director Ning was completely confused: "Where is this?"
“My space.”
"To be precise, it's my supermarket."
Jiang Fei introduced every place in the supermarket.
Finally, let’s talk about the moving card.
"My friends and I can't use up all these supplies, so I want to donate the supermarket to the country."
She had made up her mind the day she drew the moving card.
If a supermarket is used in reality, it will become an ordinary space.
Although it has lost its multi-functions, it can still be used for planting, breeding, and storing things, and it doesn't affect anything.
Rather than holding on to materials for more than a dozen lifetimes and letting them gather dust in your hands, it is better to give them to the country for use.
The authorities will properly handle these supplies to ensure that more people can survive the disaster.
Director Ning said to Jiang Fei with mixed feelings:
"Girl, you better think about it carefully. With these supplies, you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."
“Give them to the state, and they no longer belong to you.”
"I've thought it through." Jiang Fei said seriously, word by word, just like when he first participated in the new plan:
"National interests always come first."
Director Ning shook Jiang Fei's hand gratefully: "Thank you for all your contributions to China. I will tell the authorities about this when I return home one day."
"Wait until the new base is built, then you can open the supermarket, girl Jiang."
"I'll tell you exactly when."
"There is one more thing." Jiang Fei talked about the comrades who died:
"Their bodies were all in the supermarket warehouse."
"I will take care of their relatives and families." Director Ning looked towards the warehouse:
"Comrades who sacrificed their lives for the country are all heroes."
