Don’t drink hot water?
Shi Nannan rolled her eyes and said, "Hey, Xingxing, don't ask so many questions. It would be so atmospheric to have a hot pot meal in the mountains."
"Think about it, on a dark night in winter, eating a hot pot and looking at the surrounding scenery, wouldn't you feel warmed up?"
"I remember there's an ancient poem that says you can reach for the stars with just one hand. Doesn't that sound like our current mood?"
When Shen Xuyang heard Shi Nannan's words, it reminded him of what he said to her in the afternoon when he was eating instant noodles with her. It was also very meaningful.
Now Chen Xing and Wen Yu were bragging about this again, and Shen Xuyang was a little bit amused.
Wen Yu said: "It is a dangerous building a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands."
Shi Nannan said, "Yes, that's the sentence. Doesn't it describe our current situation?"
Although Shi Nannan didn't remember the original sentence, she could still remember the meaning of the ancient poem.
Chen Xing couldn't deny the wisdom of the ancients. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was indeed very relevant to their current situation. However, there was no beautiful scenery to be seen on the top of the mountain in the dark night except for the lights and people coming and going.
Chen Xing said, "Forget it, let's fill our stomachs first."
Chen Xing wanted to end the battle quickly. The few of them sitting on the ground had already attracted a lot of people's attention. If they were watched again later, it would be even more embarrassing.
Shi Nannan happened to bring four small hot pots and gave one to each person.
Shen Xuyang asked, "Have you ever thought about whether we have enough water to heat it?"
Shi Nannan seemed to have indeed ignored this problem. She only brought edibles, and the drinks were all soda.
Shi Nannan asked, "I wonder if soda and orange juice will work? Do you want to try it?"
Shen Xuyang was defeated by Shi Nannan's naivety, and he held his forehead with a look of despair.
Shen Xuyang said to Wen Yu, "You should explain it to her. I really can't explain it to her clearly."
Wen Yu said: "The heating packs are mostly filled with quicklime, which reacts chemically with water to generate heat. Orange juice doesn't have this reaction to reach the required temperature."
After hearing this, Shi Nannan opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth wide: "Huh? I can't eat it anymore?"
Shi Nannan was a little overwhelmed. Wouldn’t her plan be ruined? Why was it so difficult to eat hot pot on the top of the mountain?
Shi Nannan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Hey? Chen Xuyang, where did you get the water for making instant noodles this afternoon? Go get some more."
Shen Xuyang said: "I bought it from an older sister. Do you think it's easy to find water in this mountain?"
If Shen Xuyang hadn't wanted to satisfy Shi Nannan's wish to eat instant noodles, why would he go around asking people if they had hot water? He asked everyone he met, and those people almost remembered him.
Shi Nannan said, "I remember you have a cup filled with water. Can you please take it out?"
When Shen Xuyang heard that Shi Nannan was going to take the water cup he had hidden for a long time, he unconsciously protected his backpack.
Shen Xuyang stammered, "You remembered it wrongly. There's no water in there."
Shi Nannan remembered very clearly that when Shen Xuyang carried her on his back, she felt cold because she had reduced her exercise.
Shen Xuyang took a cup of hot water and poured her a glass of hot water. Shi Nannan took a sip and instantly felt warm.
Later, when eating instant noodles on the mountain, Shi Nannan saw that Shen Xuyang's thermos was full of water.
Shi Nannan said with a sharp look in her eyes: "Don't try to deceive me, I saw it all, hand it over quickly."
Shen Xuyang originally wanted to keep it for one more night and take it out when he really needed it.
But Shi Nannan's attitude was very firm, so he asked, "Do you really want to eat hot pot?"
Shi Nannan replied firmly, "I brought you up the mountain with great difficulty. Do you want to waste such a good opportunity?"
Shen Xuyang rolled his eyes and said, "It was obviously me who carried you here on my back. Who told you to only think about eating and not even bring water?"
When Shi Nannan heard what Shen Xuyang said, she didn't get angry this time. Instead, she pulled his arm and nagged him, saying softly, "Shen Xuyang, can you bear to see us starve? Even if I don't eat, don't you have to eat too? Besides, we brought it up here, we can't just bring it down the mountain untouched."
Shen Xuyang originally wanted to hesitate a little longer, but seeing Shi Nannan acting like a spoiled child to him, he could no longer be tough and softened his heart.
Shen Xuyang had to take out his private collection of two-liter water cups, which were originally prepared for Shi Nannan. He knew that she was afraid of the cold, and she was so careless that she would not forget to bring hot water.
Shi Nannan's eyes lit up when she saw that she was about to eat the hot pot, and she couldn't wait to start tearing the packaging.
Wen Yu opened the cup and the water inside was still steaming. The quality of this thermos cup was really good.
Wen Yu said: "Chen Xuyang, the water in here is still hot, have you ever drunk hot water?"
Wen Yu has known Shen Xuyang for so many years, but he has never seen him drink hot water. Even if he has a thermos, it is filled with ice water and ice cubes.
What's more, Shen Xuyang likes to play ball, especially in winter, and he will drink ice water even if he sweats.
Wen Yu had told Shen Xuyang several times, but Shen Xuyang had long been accustomed to it, and his stomach preferred cold food.
Before Shen Xuyang could say anything, Shi Nannan frowned and said, "You don't want to drink hot water?"
Shi Nannan remembered that every winter she saw Shen Xuyang always carrying an extra-large thermos cup with him. Several times he asked Shi Nannan to help him get hot water. Why did he carry a thermos cup if he didn't want to drink hot water?
Shen Xu raised his eyes and said calmly: "Is it not okay for me to maintain my health?"
Wen Yu: “…”
Wen Yu found it hard to understand why a person who never drinks hot water, loves sports, and drinks ice water in winter would think about maintaining his health?
Shi Nannan felt that Shen Xuyang was a little strange. Based on her understanding of him, the more he pretended to be calm, the more it showed that he was hiding something.
Shi Nannan stared at Shen Xuyang with an inquiring look and asked, "You know how to maintain your health? How old are you that you need to maintain your health?"
Chen Xuyang felt a little guilty and uncomfortable when Shi Nannan looked at him. He looked away and said, "Why do you care so much? Who said that health preservation must be based on age? Why don't you care about my other things, but care about such a trivial matter?"
Shen Xuyang was afraid that if Shi Nannan asked a few more questions, he would be exposed, so he could only fight evil with evil to prevent her from asking any more questions.
Shi Nannan retracted her eyes and waved her hand, saying, "Who cares about your nonsense? You can do whatever you want, I don't care, humph! I don't care at all."
Shen Xuyang narrowed his eyes and asked, "I just said it casually, why are you so excited? Is there something fishy?"
Shi Nannan retorted: "Who's excited? Don't talk nonsense."
Shi Nannan suddenly had an idea and came up with some bad idea. She pretended to be frightened and said, "Chen Xuyang, there is a ghost behind you. It's so big, so ugly, and so scary!"
