"I'm sorry for waking you up," Bi Qiaoan said apologetically.
"Don't take all the blame on yourself. It was the cold wind that woke me up, not you who woke me up."
Actually, Shen Yanming had opened his eyes once in a daze before Bi Qiaoan woke up.
However, the room was pitch black at the time, and judging from the sky it was only three or four o'clock, so he forced himself to go to sleep again.
This time, however, the two of them were completely sober.
After the goosebumps on Bi Qiaoan's arms had all subsided, Shen Yanming picked up his phone from the bedside table and saw that it was 6:30.
In that instant, he sat up in surprise and said incredulously, "Why isn't it dawn yet?"
Bi Qiaoan was so startled by the sudden influx of cold air into the bed that she sneezed several times, which startled Shen Yanming, who quickly lay back down.
However, I could no longer find peace in my heart.
It's different now, it's really different, what the hell is going on?
Actually, Bi Qiaoan had also caught a glimpse of Shen Yanming's phone screen, but she reacted a step too late.
After lying down, Shen Yanming thought about it and was still worried, so he got up again, went around to the foot of the bed, and gently pulled open the curtains on that side a crack.
Then, the two lay on the bed without saying a word, their eyes wide open, not sleepy at all.
They waited and waited until 7:30, when the east began to lighten and they realized it was snowing outside.
Shen Yanming picked up his phone and went online, discovering that some early-rising netizens had also noticed the situation, and everyone was somewhat uneasy.
Shen Yanming put down his phone, hugged Bi Qiaoan, and whispered in her ear, "Wife, I'm so anxious!"
Bi Qiaoan hugged Shen Yanming back, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "It's okay, even if the sky falls, there's someone taller to hold it up."
The two didn't get up until 8:10, just as dawn was breaking.
To save time, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan didn't even enter the space. They washed up in the bathroom at home and then took out the ready-made breakfast from the space.
Moreover, neither of them ate it; they just packed it in insulated lunchboxes and planned to eat it when they got to the office.
At 8:30, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan changed into down jackets, put on hats and gloves, and took several insulated lunch boxes and a thermos, ready to go downstairs to drive.
There was still no phone call, so the two had no choice but to walk downstairs.
By the time I wandered downstairs, it was already 8:45.
After starting the car, Shen Yanming remembered that it was still snowing outside.
He left Bi Qiaoan in the car, then walked out of the garage. Looking at the white expanse outside, he stepped down.
Oh dear, thank goodness I was wearing ankle boots today, otherwise the snow would have gotten inside my shoes.
Shen Yanming quickly returned to the garage and put snow chains on the tires.
After everything was ready, Shen Yanming got back into the car and slowly started driving.
Bi Qiaoan took out her phone and glanced at it, then said, "We're not only going to be late, we might be more than an hour late. I wish I hadn't stayed in bed today."
Hearing Bi Qiaoan's slightly guilty voice, Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Since we're going to be late anyway, let's just walk slowly and see when we get to the office."
"Of course, the snow outside is so thick, it's safer to drive slowly. It's just that we're late again, which I don't think is good."
Shen Yanming disagreed, "Believe it or not, even so, we're both early today."
Bi Qiaoan's eyes widened. "Impossible! I don't think there are many people in our office who are lazier than the two of us. Seriously, I only think those colleagues who ride electric bikes to work would be late."
"You need to consider the snowfall, power outage, and abnormal sunrise all together. I imagine quite a few people are probably waiting at home for Director Zhu to announce that they don't have to go to work today! And do you really think I'm lazy?"
Bi Qiaoan stuck out her tongue, "I'm lazy, I'm lazy, my husband is the most hardworking!"
Then she glanced guiltily at Shen Yanming, because while lying in bed, she was secretly waiting for Zhu Shiliang to tell her not to go to work.
The two dawdled along the way and didn't arrive at their workplace until after 10 a.m.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan carried a bunch of things into the office, only to find a few people inside.
The two calmly sat down, and Shen Yanming took out a thermos containing breakfast, opened it, and handed it to Bi Qiaoan.
Then he took out a thermos and poured Bi Qiaoan a glass of pure milk.
"It's cold, eat quickly." Shen Yanming handed the chopsticks to Bi Qiaoan.
Bi Qiaoan nodded and ate a bun and a sip of milk.
The rich aroma filled the office. Yu Shui sniffed, her eyes never leaving the small steamed buns in Bi Qiaoan's lunchbox.
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Shen Yanming, asking, "How can you two be so calm? There are only six or seven people in the office, yet you're not surprised at all?"
"I guessed it on the way here. Why are you here so early?"
"What can I do if my biological clock makes me wake up early? I was still half asleep at the time and even thought there was something wrong with my biological clock or my phone. It wasn't until I realized that it was just the weather that made me focus on waiting at home for the notification that I wouldn't have to go to work."
I waited and waited, but nothing came, so I hurried to work.
Yu Shui sniffed and said, "I rushed as fast as I could, but I was still late when I got to the office. Our building wasn't even open yet."
"Oh, I'm so angry! I shouldn't have come so early. Now I haven't even had breakfast."
After Yu Shui finished speaking, Li Yinhe also spoke up: "I left home at 8:50. Fortunately, my home is not far from here, and I arrived at 9:20. When I arrived, there was only Yu Shui in the office."
After Li Yinhe finished speaking, Shen Yanming listened to Li Yueya, Xia Ran, Ye Xiaoxiao, Qin Yiren, and Cui Xian talk about their bumpy commute to work today and their anxious feelings since they woke up.
After everyone had finished speaking, Bi Qiaoan ate the last steamed bun. "Didn't you guys notice that all nine of you in the office are young people now?"
"That's true. It's because we're junior staff that we only dare to be late without being notified, not to be absent," Yu Shui said.
Li Yinhe laughed after hearing this, "I don't mind at all, it's only an hour round trip anyway. It's boring to be alone at home without electricity, so it's more fun to chat with everyone here."
Qin Yiren bit the straw in her mouth, then took two more sips, and the Baileys bag made an empty gurgling sound.
Qin Yiren threw the empty box into the trash can and casually remarked, "It's all the same, just another place to kill time."
Shen Yanming nodded. "Luckily, everyone has switched to solar-powered phones, so we can still chat online when we're bored. Otherwise, I feel like I'd be trapped in an information island."
