It was completely dark when Chen Xu came back in a truck, more than an hour later than last time.

When he entered the door, his brows were furrowed. He didn't gain much from this trip. The heavy rain that lasted for nearly a month, coupled with the heavy snow that followed, buried most of the city under ice and snow.

Every few days, he would go out to search for supplies, and he had moved almost all the supplies he could find around.

Other things are easy to deal with, such as food and water, which are still sufficient. The most important thing is gasoline. It is freezing cold now, and in order to keep warm, we consume a lot more than planned.

A large number of gas stations were covered in ice and snow. The few gas stations that survived nearby had already been drained by him. He had no choice but to look for them further away.

I finally found a surviving gas station, but the stock was very low and I could only withdraw gas once at most.

"There is still a month left before the dream ends. It seems I have to find another gas station." He thought to himself, and when he closed the door with his backhand, his frown relaxed. He walked to the entrance as if nothing had happened and took off his thick winter clothes.

Luo Xiyun was not seen in the living room. She should be taking a shower at this time.

On the dining table, there was a stainless steel insulated lunch box. After changing his clothes, he went to the kitchen to wash his hands before opening the lunch box. The food inside was still steaming.

Smelling the aroma of the food, he had a big appetite. He picked up the chopsticks beside him, picked up a piece of ham and put it into his mouth.

Compared to a month ago, Luo Xiyun's cooking skills have improved and it is not as unpalatable as it was at the beginning.

To be honest, during this month of "living together", he also discovered some of her strengths. At the very least, she had a spirit of teamwork and would work hard to complete her tasks. Even if they had some minor frictions, she would not throw a tantrum and say she would not do anything.

After eating, he took a flashlight, went to the basement, turned off the large generator, and filled the remaining smaller generator with oil.

In order to save gasoline, he separated heating from other daily electricity use, so that when he went to bed at night, he only needed to turn on the generator dedicated to heating.

Back on the first floor, as usual, he took a shower, got into bed with his laptop, and turned on the TV series he hadn't finished watching yesterday. It was a bloody urban romance drama with no acting skills and no logic, but he still watched it with relish. At least, the female lead was pretty.

There was nothing he could do, he was just too bored. It was okay during the day, he was busy with all kinds of things, so he didn't feel tired. But the hours after nightfall, until bedtime, were the most boring.

He is not interested in computer games, so he just watches movies and TV series to kill time. Now, he is not very picky about the dramas, as long as the female lead is pleasing to the eye, he will watch it.

After watching two episodes, he turned off the video, stretched his body, and then opened a folder out of habit.

"Huh?"

When he opened it, he found that the folder named "Study Materials" was gone. He was stunned for a moment, how could a folder disappear for no reason? Soon, he confirmed that the folder was deleted, and blurted out "Oh my God!"

That was the best he had selected from dozens of terabytes of data. Now, it was deleted! Moreover, he never had the habit of backing up these data. Once deleted, they were gone.

At this moment, he was extremely angry.

How would he survive the month he fell? "How dare she?"

Without thinking, he knew who did it. There were only two people left in this world. Who else could it be except Luo Xiyun?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He threw back the quilt, put on a coat, jumped out of bed, picked up a rechargeable desk lamp, walked to Luo Xiyun's door, and knocked hard a few times.

…………

Her attention was not on the phone at all, but on listening to the noise outside the door. She heard everything Chen Xu did after he came back.

When she heard the door to the next room close, her heart began to pound.

How will Chen Xu react when he finds out that the folder has been deleted? Will he be angry?

Will he turn hostile to her? She was a little nervous, but after calming down, she felt a little regretful and thought she was too impulsive. However, it was already done, and it was too late to say anything. She could only hope that he would pretend that nothing had happened.

From the past month of getting along with him, Chen Xu was indeed the only straight man she had ever met in her life. He had a lot of shortcomings, a bad temper, no gentlemanly manners, no way to take care of others, and no way to say nice things.

However, he is not the kind of person who has a bad temper and is unreasonable.

However, he has a strong sense of self-esteem. Maybe he would find it difficult to talk about this and pretend not to know. While waiting anxiously, there was a bang on the door.

Here we come!

Her heart began to beat violently. She covered her head with the quilt, not daring to move, and pretended not to hear.

Bang, bang, bang! The door was banged harder. She knew it was futile to escape, so she said, "What's the matter? I'm already asleep."

Her voice was a little tense, but fortunately it couldn't be heard through the thick quilt.

"Open the door."

Even through a door and a blanket, Luo Xiyun could still hear the anger in Chen Xu's voice, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened. "Yes, if there's anything, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Bang, bang, bang, these few hits were almost like smashing.

At this moment, Luo Xiyun also became a little angry. He thought that he had already compromised so much, but he was still so persistent, which was too much.

Just open it, do you think I'm really afraid of you?

She made up her mind, threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and opened the door a crack. A ray of light shone on her face from the crack. She saw Chen Xu with a gloomy face. Her heart skipped a beat and she began to stutter. "It's...it's...so late. What...do you want to do?"

Chen Xu reached out and pushed the door open. Luo Xiyun took a few steps back as if frightened.

Chen Xu asked expressionlessly, "Why did you touch my computer?"

"I..." Luo Xiyun's voice was trembling, not only her voice was shaking, but her body was shaking too. Chen Xu then realized that she was only wearing a thin nightgown, and the cold wind outside the door made her whole body shiver.

He frowned, walked into the room, closed the door behind him, and blocked the cold wind. Then, he put the lamp on the table and took off his coat.

"What... do you want to do?" This time, Luo Xiyun's voice was a little distorted.
