It’s called taking care, but in fact it just means cooking for one more person.
I don’t know if what he said that night had an effect. Although Luo Xiyun was still silent, at least he didn’t give him a cold look or say anything unpleasant.
While eating, the two of them still sat face to face. The table was not big, so they sat very close to each other. There was a rechargeable desk lamp next to them for lighting.
Chen Xu occasionally looked up during meals and saw her face. At this time, his heartbeat would speed up. Under the white light, her skin seemed to be covered with a halo.
This feeling is completely different from watching photos or videos. Maybe the women in the photos and videos look more delicate and flawless. But after watching them through a computer or mobile phone for a long time, I don’t feel anything.
Now, Luo Xiyun was sitting less than a meter away from him. He could feel her breath, and even faintly smell her fragrance, and see the shadow cast by the light on her long eyelashes...
All this made him feel a little shaken.
Chen Xu quickly retracted his gaze and suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
He is not a celibate, but if he has not met the right person, it is fine to be single. He is an experienced person and thinks that is how it is between men and women.
However, once you are away from the environment of modern society and are left alone, it is indeed not easy.
Before, he kept his distance from Luo Xiyun and didn't think there was anything wrong. But now that he was in close contact, he found that his willpower was far from firm.
If this continues, he feels that it won’t be long before his beastly nature takes over one day…
"Generator, can't be repaired?"
Just when he was daydreaming, Luo Xiyun on the opposite side suddenly spoke. Her voice was not loud. He was a little dazed and thought he was hallucinating. He couldn't help but look up at her.
It took him nearly a second to make sure she had actually spoken, "Uh-well, the motor is broken and can't be fixed."
"Oh." Luo Xiyun said "Oh" when he heard his answer.
Chen Xu thought, this can be considered as a proactive gesture of goodwill. Considering her stubbornness over the past few months, this must be a difficult step for her. He considered whether he should also take the initiative to say a few words.
“Are we going to die here?”
Before he could think of what to say, Luo Xiyun spoke again. She looked at his mouth, as if asking him, or as if talking to herself.
Chen Xu didn't expect her to ask such a question. Seeing that her face was very calm, he felt that something was wrong with her emotions. He didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only ask, "Why do you ask that?"
"It has been raining for days. I have never seen rain this heavy for this long before."
Chen Xu knew she was right. It had been five days since the typhoon started. The typhoon stopped after two days, but the rain showed no signs of stopping.
It rained heavily for five days and five nights. As far as Chen Xu could remember, it seemed that he had never encountered such a heavy rain before. I believe that many low-lying areas have been flooded.
The terrain here is higher, and at least in the two years since he joined the company, he has never heard of any flooding in the surrounding area during the summer rainstorms.
However, if the rain continues, it will be hard to say.
In fact, he was already considering moving away if the rain didn't stop in the next two days, and he had already thought of a location.
Chen Xu comforted her, "The rain will eventually stop."
"What if it never stops?" Luo Xiyun turned around and looked into his eyes. There was a hint of confusion in his dim eyes. "At the end of the world, anything can happen, right?"
To her, now is the end of the world. All humans have disappeared, and only the two of them are left. If it's not the end of the world, what else can it be? The continuous heavy rain made her pessimistic about the future. Perhaps because of this, she looked down on the "grudge" between the two.
Chen Xu said, "As long as we are alive, it is not the end of the world."
Luo Xiyun looked at him, with a little more brightness in his eyes.
"However, your concerns are not wrong. We don't know when this rain will stop. I think we should prepare to move out in advance." Chen Xu took the opportunity to express his opinion.
"Move away?" Luo Xiyun was confused at first, then became surprised.
………………
At first, Chen Xu only considered this place as a temporary camp and did not plan to live here for six months. Later, when Luo Xiyun arrived, the two of them had a "cold war", and he was reluctant to mention moving out, so he kept putting it off.
He had made some preparations long ago. In his garage, there was always a twelve-wheel truck fully fueled with gas, and a lot of supplies were stored in the truck.
Now, he was glad for his foresight. The rain was getting heavier that day, which made it very difficult to move things. Thanks to his previous preparations, he had much less to move.
He spent a day filling the remaining space in the truck with food and water. After resting for a night, he took Luo Xiyun away early the next morning from the place where they had lived for more than four months.
When Luo Xiyun got on the car, he seemed somewhat reluctant and afraid of the unknown future.
"Let's go. We'll come back when we have the chance." Chen Xu comforted her, started the car, and drove towards a new future.
His driver's license is a C license, which originally did not allow him to drive such a heavy truck. He taught himself this in the past few months. At first, he did it to clear the vehicles on the road. It was too troublesome to drive them away one by one.
So he thought of a simple solution, driving a heavy truck and directly knocking the cars blocking the road away. It was much more efficient, and in less than a month, all the surrounding roads were opened up.
Based on his familiarity with the road, he avoided the low-lying areas that might be flooded and spent a lot of time, only arriving at his destination near noon.
It was a villa built on a mountain. It was a villa area, the highest place in the area, and not too far from his company. He came here when he was treasure hunting and found that it was a very suitable place to live.
The most important thing is that the villa he chose is equipped with a generator.
It is really inconvenient to be without electricity, especially on a rainy day like this.
He parked the car in front of the villa, and after the two of them went in, they started with a thorough cleaning.
