"What?" Wang Feifei was so startled that she slammed on the brakes, and the car quickly slowed down. Xu Neng was amused by her startled reaction.
Although there were few cars on the road late at night in the suburbs, Wang Feifei was still a little scared by his sudden braking. She was afraid that he would say something explosive and make it impossible for her to drive properly!
All sorts of strange ideas started popping into her head:
"Is he still holding a grudge about Xu Hui, which is why he wants to see me? That makes sense, after all, he's his brother, so it's understandable that he's upset."
"But he was acting so strangely tonight, not at all like his usual cold-blooded self, it made me uneasy."
"No matter what, we shouldn't have given him a ride! This person is far too dangerous."
Xu Neng watched as her face turned pale and then red, her eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't tell what she was thinking. It was so interesting.
Wang Feifei felt uncomfortable under Xu Neng's gaze. To ease the awkward atmosphere, she coughed twice.
"Cough cough... Why is it so cold tonight..."
After saying that, she gripped the steering wheel tightly, stared straight ahead without saying a word, and didn't dare to look at the man next to her.
Xu Neng suddenly saw what looked like a small white dot floating across the car window, then two, three... and gradually more and more.
A question lingered in my mind: Could it be snowing?
He thought he was seeing things, so he rolled down the car window, and instantly a gust of cold wind carrying snowflakes rushed into the car.
"Why is it snowing?"
Wang Feifei looked closely and saw that it really was snowing.
Why is it snowing today? She started to get nervous and said to Xu Neng, "Can you check the temperature for me?"
Xu Neng glanced down at his phone: "Minus 3 degrees Celsius."
Wang Feifei, who was still a little sleepy, immediately perked up. Had this life come so quickly?
It seems to have started two or three days earlier than expected, but the media hasn't made any moves yet. However, it should be soon; citizens will probably be notified to stockpile supplies soon...
By this time, they had passed through the countryside and were almost at the hotel. It was getting light, and there were more pedestrians on the road.
Xu Neng had been silently observing her the whole way, and he found that Wang Feifei was much more beautiful than he remembered. Her eyes were very beautiful, unlike when she was nervous...
He even had an idea to stay in China and never leave.
However, ever since the snow, he felt that Wang Feifei's behavior had become a bit strange; just now, she even showed a look of fear on her face...
Xu Neng looked out the window. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. This was very unusual. Was her change related to the snow?
"We're here, you can get out of the car now." Wang Feifei parked the car in front of the hotel. She had been on tenterhooks the whole way, but at least she was able to get him out.
"Thank you, don't forget our date the day after tomorrow." Xu Neng said with a smile, then closed the car door.
After struggling internally for a long time, Wang Feifei finally decided to remind him. She rolled down the car window, looked at Xu Neng, hesitated several times before finally speaking:
"that……"
"Um?"
"Xu Neng".
Xu Neng was a little happy to see her call his name: "What's wrong, Fei Fei?"
"Um...you should go back to America as soon as possible, it's not safe here."
"Although the situation in the United States may be similar, at least at home, at least there is food, warmth, and family..."
In her previous life, Wang Feifei never left her residential compound, so she didn't know what was going on outside. However, staying in a hotel was definitely the most unsafe option. Oh well, that was all the advice she could offer.
"Anyway, you should go back now!" After saying that last sentence, Wang Feifei drove away, leaving Xu Neng standing there, watching the car disappear into the distance...
What did she mean by what she just said?
Before going home, Wang Feifei had one more thing to do: the vegetables at home needed to ripen, which would probably take at least another month.
This time, she took a detour to the market to buy some temporary frozen vegetables to tide her over, and then left her car there.
This car has been exposed to Xu Neng and is no longer usable. Any risk of it being traced to the safe house must be eliminated.
The morning market at the vegetable market was bustling with activity, with everyone busy with their own tasks. The small street outside the market was also full of food options, with more than ten different kinds of breakfast stalls along the street: making all kinds of noodles, selling mixed rice noodles, cooking all kinds of porridge, selling steamed buns and mantou... you name it, they had it.
After a whole night of tossing and turning, Wang Feifei was starving. She found the most popular traditional breakfast shop and ordered two small steamed buns, a bowl of hot tofu pudding, and two fried dough sticks. The warm food made her feel comfortable all over.
She ate while checking the news. The media hadn't taken any action yet, which was good. If they had already announced it, the market might not have been able to be crowded.
With that in mind, she quickly finished her breakfast, hurriedly visited several shops, and bought a bunch of frozen vegetables: tomatoes, corn, yams, peas, edamame, and so on.
With my hands full of food, I took a taxi back to the unfinished building.
She arrived at the gate and found it locked again, with a new lock. Without a doubt, it was that neighbor again. She hadn't paid any attention to him last night, and now he was causing trouble.
Fortunately, the ride-hailing car hadn't left yet, so Wang Feifei asked him to drop her off at the West Gate and then circle around to her home.
She was walking around the neighborhood carrying a bunch of plastic bags. Some elderly people at the west gate were already out and about. They saw the young girl going to buy groceries so early in the morning and buying so many, and they praised her for being diligent.
Not wanting to cause trouble, Wang Feifei responded politely and hurried home. Fortunately, she didn't run into the male neighbor along the way. There were still bricks and paint piled up at her doorstep, which the project manager had delivered the day before.
As soon as she got home, she had the robot brought inside. She was afraid that leaving it at the door would arouse suspicion, and she was going to start sealing off the doors in a couple of days, starting with the 25th floor.
The temperature in the house had dropped to 12 degrees Celsius and was starting to get a bit cold. Wang Feifei was worried about Xiao Miao, so she rushed to the vegetable room to check on her. Fortunately, the electric heater was on, and the temperature was still maintained.
The cows are being well taken care of by the robots and are sleeping soundly on the sofa.
Wang Feifei put on her down jacket and went to the storage area on the second floor. The fresh air system had been running all night, and the temperature was about the same as outside. The meat delivered last night was still frozen.
She put the vegetables she had just bought into the basket, looking at the room full of food, feeling a deep sense of happiness...
At this time, the supermarket had not yet opened, and Chu Xiang, still unconscious, lay on the ground at the supermarket entrance.
When the sanitation worker saw him, he quickly went over and shook him awake: "Wake up, wake up! It's so cold, why are you sleeping here? You'll freeze to death if you don't wake up soon."
Chu Xiang sat up and shook his head. He was still a little dizzy. What happened? How did he end up sleeping on the street?
I was in the warehouse yesterday, how come I'm here now? What happened?
What about Wang Feifei? What about Chen Nian?
Ugh, my head hurts so much!
"Hey buddy, drink less alcohol. It's so cold, don't sleep outside, you might really freeze to death."
Chu Xiang ignored him and stumbled home, glancing at the supermarket as he left; it was closed.
This is not a safe place to stay; let's head home...
