Starting the next day, Lan Yao went shopping for New Year's goods with Gu Zixiao.
At this time, there is still about a month until the Chinese New Year, and Beijing has completely entered the particularly cold winter, currently in the coldest period of winter.
Just as we entered the coldest period of winter, the temperature had already reached around -35 degrees Celsius. At this time, it wasn't like later years when winter temperatures were relatively high; winter temperatures were only around -27 or -28 degrees Celsius, and only a few days reached the 30s.
Winter at this time of year is truly bitterly cold, with heavy snow falling one after another.
The temperature drops sharply, reaching as low as minus forty degrees Celsius at its coldest.
Even children are afraid to urinate outside, because they might accidentally freeze their penises.
The weather is best at this time of year; anything left outside for a few minutes will be rock hard when brought inside—hard enough to kill someone.
When Gu Zixiao took Lan Yao out, he frowned when he saw how scantily clad Lan Yao was dressed.
Why are you dressed so scantily?
Lan Yao: "I'm wearing quite a lot, aren't I? This military overcoat I'm wearing was given to me by you, as was the cotton hat. The scarf and gloves were also given to me by you."
According to Wang Zhenfeng, the scarf and gloves were knitted for him by Gu Zixiao, using red cashmere yarn.
I don’t know if Gu Zixiao is particularly talented in this area, but he learned it after just a few days of learning from his teammates.
The first pair of gloves and scarves were knitted quite well. Not only were the patterns beautiful, but the colors were also well chosen, and most importantly, they were very warm.
Gu Zixiao: "But you're only wearing a shirt underneath, what about a sweater? Aren't you going to wear one?"
Lan Yao: "I don't have a sweater."
Lan Yao has very few clothes; she only changes a few pieces over and over again. In the end, Gu Zixiao couldn't stand it anymore and bought her some.
Actually, Lan Yao doesn't care much about clothes, so she's too lazy to prepare anything. Besides, she's not cold.
She didn't know if it was because she drank the spiritual spring water, but her physique changed a lot.
So, she's really not afraid of the cold anymore.
Gu Zixiao sighed, looked Lan Yao up and down, and said helplessly, "Then I'll knit it for you in a few days."
Lan Yao: "Actually, it's okay if you don't knit. I'm not afraid of the cold. I don't know if it's because I drink too much water."
After Lan Yao reminded him, Gu Zixiao remembered that since drinking the water Lan Yao gave him, not only was he no longer cold, but all the hidden injuries or so-called injuries he had sustained from participating in missions had also disappeared.
My physical condition is now excellent, and my strength has increased.
My eyesight and brain function have also improved.
Of course, he still couldn't beat Lan Yao.
Don't ask him why, because he once invited Lan Yao to fight him.
Then, before he could exchange more than two blows with Lan Yao, she pinned him to the ground.
At that moment, Gu Zixiao was questioning the meaning of life.
"You, how come you've gotten even more amazing?"
Before, he could fight Lan Yao for a while, but now he can't even last a short time?
Isn't this going too far?
Lan Yao: "...I wanted to beat you up a little longer before, so I didn't use my full strength."
Gu Zixiao: ...
He's going to cause trouble, he's going to cause trouble.
Lan Yao kissed his forehead: "Good boy, don't be angry."
Gu Zixiao lay on the ground: "I don't accept this way of coaxing people."
Lan Yao stood up: "Never mind then. I was thinking of cooking you a nice meal tonight. You know I don't usually cook."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zixiao immediately stood up and ran after him, asking, "Are you serious? What are you going to do for me tonight?"
Lan Yao glanced at him lightly: "Didn't you say you accepted? Since you don't accept, then I won't waste my time."
"Hey, hey, how could you do this?" Gu Zixiao grabbed Lan Yao's hand, leaned on Lan Yao's shoulder, and acted coquettishly towards her in a way that he himself didn't even realize.
"Lan Yao, Lan Yao, please don't do that. I take back what I just said, okay? Please let me take it back."
Lan Yao turned her head, quickly reached out and pressed her hand on the back of his head, gently kissed him, and blinked at Gu Zixiao.
Lan Yao smiled and said, "Since you're so cute, I'll forgive you."
Gu Zixiao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relaxed as well: "So what are you going to cook for me tonight?"
Lan Yao: "It's a secret. It wouldn't be fun if I told you now."
Lan Yao walked to the bicycle, patted the seat, and urged him to come and ride.
Although Gu Zixiao felt a little regretful, she still happily sat down in her seat and looked back at her beloved.
"I can't buy a bike right now, otherwise it would be too much of a burden for you to ride a bike with me in this freezing weather."
Gu Zixiao spoke from the heart, without exaggeration at all.
Lan Yao sat in the back, which Gu Zixiao had slightly modified by adding a thick cotton cushion, so it wouldn't hurt her bottom even if she sat on it.
Lan Yao put her arm around Gu Zixiao's waist: "Having a bicycle these days is pretty good, so I'm very satisfied. Let's go."
Gu Zixiao still felt bad for making Lan Yao ride on a bicycle, but since Lan Yao had already said so, what else could he say?
Of course, I should try to ride as fast as possible so that my dear doesn't get cold outside.
The two of them first went to the supply and marketing cooperative, then to the department store, and finally to the black market.
After a busy day, I bought a lot of New Year's goods.
Anyway, there's still a month until the Lunar New Year, so the two of them aren't in a hurry.
When they got back that evening, Lan Yao really showed off her skills to Gu Zixiao, making scrambled eggs with tomatoes, hot and sour shredded potatoes, pickled cabbage and pork belly, a braised pork rib dish, and a big pot of seaweed and egg drop soup.
