Chen Xu responded and helped Luo Xiyun into the room, where there was a bathroom.

He knew that with her personality, she would never say this to him unless she was extremely anxious. Although he was a little unhappy with her, he didn't want to embarrass her on such a matter.

He sent her to the bathroom, put his phone on the shampoo shelf to use as a light source, and then left.

After the bathroom door was closed, Chen Xu lost the only light source and fell into darkness. He could not see with his eyes, but his other senses seemed to be magnified, such as his sense of smell. He now felt that he was surrounded by a very light, pleasant fragrance.

It was a sweet scent, just like the scent of hair he smelled when he and his first love hugged each other in a dark alley in high school.

The sound of wind and rain outside seemed to come from a distant place, giving people an unusually peaceful feeling.

Through the door of the bathroom, he could clearly hear another sound of water, and the distracting thoughts in his mind spread like weeds.

Suddenly, Luo Xiyun's words rang in his mind again.

He rubbed his face vigorously and tiptoed towards the door. There was no light and it was pitch black everywhere. He could only rely on his memory of when he came in just now and grope his way to the door in the dark.

He opened the door and felt the cold rain hitting his face, causing him to shiver. He didn't dare to stay and quickly ran back to the next room.

Ten minutes later, Chen Xu, who had changed his clothes and was wearing a raincoat, came back carrying a big bag.

There is a power outage at the base camp now. I don't know if it's a problem with the generator or the line. It's difficult to check with such strong winds.

Without electricity, a lot of trouble will occur.

Luo Xiyun was injured again and had difficulty moving. No matter what, at least in this dream world, there were only two of them left. Not to mention supporting each other, when one of them was in trouble, they couldn't just leave it alone.

"Even if it's out of humanitarianism, we should help."

He thought so, walked into the cafe, took off his raincoat, and walked inside with a flashlight in one hand and a bag in the other.

He saw a light in the kitchen and thought that she had been trapped since morning and had sprained her ankle. It was so windy and she might not have eaten anything and must be starving.

Walking to the door, the beam of the flashlight shone in and fell on Luo Xiyun.

She had her back to the door, and seemed to be cutting something. Her injured left foot was lifted off the ground, and she was supported only by her right foot, standing a little unsteadily. She must have known he was coming, but she didn't turn around or say anything, just cutting something silently.

The only sound was the clap of the knife hitting the chopping board.

Chen Xu took out a desk lamp from the bag and turned it on. The white light illuminated the entire kitchen.

"Let me do it."

He took out a fresh-keeping bag containing food from the bag, rolled up his sleeves, walked over, reached out and grabbed the kitchen knife in her hand, trying to take it away. But she didn't let go.

Chen Xu felt a sense of confrontation from the strength with which she gripped the knife.

He had a girlfriend before, so he had experience with women. He knew very well that a woman's silence was an expression of dissatisfaction.

As for what he was dissatisfied with, he often didn't understand. Sometimes he understood, but he would pretend not to understand.

His ex-girlfriend has complained to him in front of him more than once, saying that he is a straight man.

Now, Luo Xiyun has nothing to do with him, so he cares even less.

He didn't say anything, but just added some strength. Luo Xiyun held on for a second, then let go and let him take the kitchen knife away.

This kitchen was originally the back kitchen of the cafe. The space was large enough and two people would not feel crowded here. They could do their own things and it didn't affect each other, so Chen Xu didn't stop her.

…………

After more than ten minutes, the steaming noodles came out of the pot.

There was a table in the kitchen. Luo Xiyun had already set the table. Chen Xu brought the pot over. Everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating.

This was the third time they had sat together to eat, and they also sat face to face. Through the white mist rising from the noodle soup, Chen Xu could see her face clearly and was slightly stunned.

Because of the power outage, this was the first time he looked at her face to face since he brought her back.

She was obviously thinner. Her whole temperament had changed a lot, becoming more quiet and gentle.

Environment can really change a person.

He felt emotional.

In fact, he himself was no exception. He knew it was just a dream and he was just here for a vacation, but after staying here for a few months, he also felt that some aspects of himself had changed.

Of course, this change is not a bad thing. At least, he has become more patient.

And now Luo Xiyun looks much more pleasing to the eye.

They were both hungry, so they ate very attentively and quickly. Soon, they had finished the whole pot of noodles, not even any soup was left.

After eating, Chen Xu picked up the pots and bowls and took them over to wash.

He was used to using tap water, but after he came to the dream, the water plant stopped working, so there was no tap water. So he built a reservoir as a water source.

The reservoir was filled with water yesterday, enough for a few days.

After he finished washing, he put the bowl back into the sterilizer and suddenly discovered something. Many things here were in pairs. There was a pair of bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, spoons, cups... even the chairs next to the dining table were in pairs.

He thought to himself, "OCD is terrible. Fortunately, I don't live with her."

He doesn't think he is a sloppy person. He cleans his room once a week, washes his clothes every day, and tries his best to keep his room tidy.

But that’s the extent of it.

If he were asked to clean the place spotlessly and put everything in perfect order every day, he felt he would not be able to bear it.

Luo Xiyun is undoubtedly a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, which can be seen from the vegetable garden outside the door that is arranged like a flower garden.

After he packed up his things, Luo Xiyun had already returned to the house. He picked up the bag and the lamp, walked to the closed door, knocked twice, and said, "Let me see your feet."

There was no response from inside the house. Just when he thought Luo Xiyun didn't hear it, her cold voice came from inside, "No need."

Chen Xu couldn't help but frowned. He pulled the door handle and turned it. It was not locked. He opened the door and walked in. "Let me take a look."

She sat on the bed, hugging her knees with her hands, her long hair hanging down. When she saw him come in, she turned her face away and said stiffly, "I don't want you to care."
