Chapter 56 Chapter 56
Qiao Yanrou glanced at the vegetable garden. It was so cold outside that the wind and snow blew towards her face, making her cheeks red from the cold.
She rubbed her hands and walked into the house. She returned to the eaves to shake off the snowflakes on her body, washed her hands with her water power, and returned to the basement.
It snowed for several days in a row, and she hardly ever left the basement except to feed the hen, wash, and go to the bathroom.
There was no way around it. Once the partition was opened, the cold wind rushed in, causing her to prepare herself mentally every time before opening the partition.
A week passed after the wind and snow passed. When Qiao Yanrou pushed open the partition, the long-lost sunlight shone into the window. She walked out of the basement with a refreshed mood, as if she had just come out of hibernation.
After washing up, she passed by the vegetable garden and saw a hen wearing a thick, puffy sweater squatting on a wooden board basking in the sun.
The melting snow was quite cold, so she planned to wait until the snow melted before taking off the sweater from the hen.
She had no plans to tinker with the vegetable garden on the snowy day. She stood in the sun for a while and then went back to the warm basement to read.
She read the books in the storage space over and over again, and fortunately she never got tired of them.
We lived an ordinary life day after day, and in the blink of an eye it was already deep winter and it was getting colder outside.
Qiao Yanrou would never leave the basement unless necessary. She calculated the time and found that New Year's Eve would be in two days.
On New Year's Eve, she planned to use the dry goods in her storage space and have an extra meal.
In fact, ever since the clothes appeared on the partition, some meat dishes would always appear "out of thin air". They were all cooked dishes placed in bowls and could be heated up in the basement.
She knew it was given by Ji Yuanchen, but every time she went out to look for him, there was no sign of him.
Perhaps he understood her choice at the time, so he didn't disturb her.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yanrou sighed softly. The best ending for them would be for both of them to avoid each other and never see each other again.
Because the Chinese New Year was approaching, she took out some wool and knitted a new sweater for the hen. She specially chose red wool and finished it in one afternoon. She put it on the table and waited to put it on the hen on the afternoon of New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, she opened the partition as usual. As soon as she walked halfway out, she saw clothes and shoes next to her. There were several plates of food on the right. Although they were all covered with lids, they were still steaming.
Qiao Yanrou knew that Ji Yuanchen had arrived. She walked out of the basement and came to the door, and all she saw was the snowy scene.
Facing the wind and snow, she looked towards the empty white ground, her beautiful face smiling like a flower, and she raised her voice: "Happy New Year's Eve." Ji Yuanchen.
Ji Yuanchen, who was watching her not far away, heard her blessing with a smile on his face and deep longing for her. He suppressed the strange impulse countless times. He wanted to kiss her, whisper in her ears, and be intimate with her every day.
But he wanted to see her happy and live the life she wanted without worries.
Fu Chuqing, who was not far from him, thought that her blessing was for him, and his eyes behind the glasses watched her walk into the house with reluctance.
When can I hug her again...
Qiao Yanrou took the two coats and other clothes into the basement, and finally brought the dishes into the basement.
She opened the packaging of two coats, one pink and one white, both very thick.
She found it quite strange that Ji Yuanchen always sent clothes in even numbers, and sometimes food as well. Although he usually sent one plate every other day, sometimes he would send two large plates next to the partition.
Today might be New Year's Eve, so it's even more exaggerated, with six dishes in total.
Fortunately, it is winter, so food can be stored for a longer time.
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, snowflakes began to fall outside again. Qiao Yanrou had just put sweaters on the hens in the cabin. The bright red color looked particularly festive on the hens.
She filled the cabin with rice and water.
Qiao Yanrou was in a good mood. Occasionally, she could hear the sound of firecrackers coming from the distance, crackling, as if coming from Xue Yu's base.
At this time, snowflakes fell from the sky. She quickly came to her senses and ran back into the house.
She went back to the basement and started cooking the New Year's Eve dinner. In fact, she didn't have to be very busy because she couldn't finish all the dishes Ji Yuanchen sent.
She cooked half a bowl of rice in the rice cooker, then walked out of the basement carrying her new pink coat and some spare clothes.
After taking a shower in the bathroom, I put on a new coat, but still wore my old inner wear and pants. The new inner wear and pants have not been washed yet.
She barely managed to wrap her hair with a towel. There was no other way because her hair was too much and she had to hold it together with her hands, otherwise it would fall apart in a matter of minutes.
Qiao Yanrou returned to the basement and took out a hair dryer from the storage space. This hair dryer was given to her by Xue Yu. Fortunately, there was electricity in the basement, so this hair dryer came in handy.
Otherwise, washing your hair in winter will become a problem, especially on snowy days. It is easy to get a headache if your hair is wet for a long time without drying.
She plugged in the hair dryer and slowly dried her hair.
At this time, Ji Yuanchen slowly walked to the outside of the fence and made a few "chu chu chu" sounds at the hen wearing a red sweater.
The hen under the cabin opened its eyes and looked at him, ignoring the man who had brought it to the abandoned house.
Ji Yuanchen looked at it wearing a bright red sweater and wanted to laugh for some reason. Qiao Yanrou was thinking of all kinds of weird ideas.
When it got dark, Qiao Yanrou reheated the dishes that Ji Yuanchen had given her. Looking at the hot food on the table, she slowly sat down and ate while picking up the dishes.
On New Year's Eve, Qiao Yanrou rarely came out of the basement at night. The sound of firecrackers continued to be heard in the distance, and from time to time there was the sound of fireworks exploding in the night sky.
Qiao Yanrou walked out of the abandoned house and watched the fireworks blooming in the distant night sky. She hugged her arms and looked up.
Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the basement, fireworks exploded one after another in the darkness, and the fleeting light illuminated her figure.
Qiao Yanrou looked up at the night sky in surprise. Fireworks were being set off not far from her. The fireworks rising into the sky were dazzling and brilliant, and their reflections were reflected in her pupils.
She couldn't help but smile, so beautiful...
The fireworks not far away lasted for about ten minutes before they ended. Qiao Yanrou knew that there was a large open space in front, and someone probably chose that open space to set off the fireworks.
It’s not like before now. There are very few zombies and many people are becoming active.
Only after the fireworks ended did Qiao Yanrou return to the basement.
At midnight on New Year's Eve, countless fireworks bloomed in the night sky. She slept more soundly listening to the sound of the fireworks.
On the first day of the new year, Qiao Yanrou washed up and ran out to see the hens in the backyard. The hens were no different from usual and did not seem to be scared by the sound of fireworks.
Somewhere, Ji Yuanshen waited for her to appear at dawn. On the first day of the new year, he wanted to see her.
She appeared in front of him wearing a pink coat, and Ji Yuanchen's heart seemed to skip a beat. That was the coat he gave her, and it looked really good on her.
Not far away, there stood a tall figure. It was New Year's Day, and Fu Chuqing was so angry about the pink coat she was wearing that he clenched his teeth.
She was very beautiful, but he didn't like the pink coat she was wearing because it wasn't a gift from him.
He gently pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses to calm the emotion called jealousy.
Qiao Yanrou walked around outside and went back to the basement to have breakfast.
The first day of the new year couldn't stop her from staying in the basement to read. It was too cold outside, and she was afraid of exposing herself there, so she simply stayed in a warm place to read.
She was afraid that Xue Yu would not give up and would send someone to find her again. She could hide once, but it would be difficult to hide a second time.
Xue Yu is different from Ji Yuanchen. If he finds out that she is here, he will not care whether she is willing or not. He will take her back to the base in a tough manner and will not give her another chance to escape.
Qiao Yanrou never dared to let her guard down, for fear that Xue Yu would send someone out to look for her again.
Hopefully he's let it go.
The first day of the New Year was spent with the sound of firecrackers, and the second day she changed into a long white coat.
Fu Chuqing was upset all day yesterday. When he saw her finally put on the coat he gave her, his tightly pursed thin lips lifted slightly.
It was Ji Yuanchen's turn to be unhappy. His possessiveness was at work. He didn't like Yanrou wearing clothes given by other men.
Qiao Yanrou didn't know that there were two men in the dark who were unhappy with each other. After she finished her work upstairs, she went back to the basement.
It was not until the tenth day after the New Year that a person with special abilities entered the abandoned house in the afternoon.
Qiao Yanrou was standing under the partition. Fortunately, she had put the clothes that were hung out to dry in the basement in advance, otherwise she would have been discovered.
