Luo Xiyun turned around and found Chen Xu coming out. He said anxiously, "Go back and rest quickly."

She really does care about me.

Chen Xu was already certain of it from her instant reaction.

After going out into the society and suffering a few losses, he realized a principle of how to behave in society: don't listen to what others say, but look at what they do.

Just listen to what others say, don't take it seriously. Look at his actions and you will know his attitude towards you.

Moreover, as his experience increased, he vaguely understood that sometimes, when someone said something that was completely opposite to what he did, it might not be because he was deliberately deceiving others, but because he himself did not know what he really wanted.

People are so contradictory. And women are even more contradictory.

He felt that he had grasped Luo Xiyun's psychology, and he was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "The room is too stuffy, I came out to get some fresh air. Don't worry, I'm fine now. Look, I'm like this - oops!"

As Chen Xu spoke, he jumped twice. Suddenly, his feet went weak and he stumbled. His calf hit a stool beside him, and he gasped in pain.

"Chen Xu——"

Seeing him fall, Luo Xiyun dropped the pot in his hand and rushed over, helped him up, and asked anxiously, "How are you? Are you not hurt?"

"fine."

Chen Xuqiang shook his head, put his left hand around her waist, and slowly stood up.

Luo Xiyun saw something from his expression and asked, "Are you hurt somewhere?"

Chen Xu had recovered by now and said awkwardly, "I got hit in the face."

"Let me take a look."

She bent down and carefully pulled open his trouser legs. Seeing that it was only a small bruise and not a serious injury, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't be so stubborn. I'll help you back to your room."

Chen Xu said nothing, put his left hand on her waist again, and walked into the room.

As he walked, he turned his head to look at her face and saw that there was nothing unusual on her face, as if she didn't realize that their current posture was very intimate.

When they got to the room, Luo Xiyun helped him to the bedside, asked him to sit down, took out a medicine box, took out the medicine oil and applied it to his wound, and finally said, "You rest well here."

As soon as she left, Chen Xu recalled her various contradictory attitudes towards him, and gradually an idea came to his mind.

…………

While eating dinner, Chen Xu kept staring at Luo Xiyun.

"Is there something on my face?" Luo Xiyun couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and touched his face.

Chen Xu shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's great to be able to sit and eat with you again. I originally thought that I would never see you again."

Luo Xiyun moved his lips twice before asking, "You, why did you faint there?"

"My car broke down, so I had to walk. When I reached the slope, I accidentally tripped and hit my head, and then I passed out." Chen Xu said in a relaxed tone.

"Why don't you stay in the car?"

Luo Xiyun took a deep breath and said, "It snowed so heavily yesterday, it was very dangerous to walk. If I hadn't happened to pass by there, maybe you would... you would..." At the end, her tone became a little excited.

Chen Xu listened to her accusation without feeling impatient at all. He felt a sense of joy in his heart. He explained softly, "The car was parked too far away."

Luo Xiyun frowned when she heard this. The place where she found Chen Xu was already the farthest area. Further out was the endless ice area.

Suddenly, she realized something, her eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "You ran outside the ice area?"

The so-called ice area is a vast low-lying area that was flooded by rain. After the temperature dropped, a thick layer of ice formed.

The area of ​​several kilometers around the villa where they lived was like an isolated island, surrounded by ice. No matter which direction you looked from, you couldn't see the end of the ice.

As far as she knew, Chen Xu had always been active in the "isolated island area" and had never been to the ice area, so she didn't think about it that way at first.

"Yeah." Chen Xu nodded.

"You..." Luo Xiyun bit her lower lip and asked, "Is it because there is not enough gasoline?"

"The inventory is enough for half a month. I wanted to explore the road first this time, but I didn't expect that an accident would happen on the way back."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Chen Xu said, "We agreed that I would take care of the outside affairs and you would take care of the inside affairs. This is my responsibility."

"You are a male chauvinist." Luo Xiyun said unhappily.

After a while, she picked up the rice with chopsticks and asked, "How long have you been walking in the snow?"

Chen Xu said, "It will only take a few hours."

How many hours?

Luo Xiyun thought about the heavy snow she had driven to find him yesterday, with visibility less than ten meters. As the snow on the ground got deeper, she had to slow down, but the wheels still slipped from time to time. Sometimes, the wheels would get stuck in the soft snow and she had to get out of the car to deal with it.

It was so difficult for her to drive, let alone walk?

She could hardly imagine what kind of willpower it would take to hold on for several hours in such harsh weather.

"you……"

"Actually, I have no choice." Chen Xu said, "There is too little food in the car. I think the snow will continue for several days. Staying in the car will also lead to death."

Luo Xiyun opened his mouth slightly, glanced at him, but still did not expose him.

After she rescued Chen Xu, she opened his backpack and found that half of it was filled with chocolate, compressed biscuits and canned food, enough for him to eat for a week.

At this point, the man was still so stubborn.

[It’s too much to save face.] She said in her heart.

………………

After washing the dishes, Luo Xiyun pushed open the door of the room and saw Chen Xu who had just come out of the bathroom and was wiping his hair with a towel. It was obvious that he had just finished a shower.

"It's your turn," he said.

She walked to the closet, found some clothes, and looked a little hesitant.

Chen Xu seemed to know her worries and said, "Don't worry, I won't peek."

She didn't say anything, took her clothes, and walked into the bathroom. After closing the door, she thought about Chen Xu who had just taken a shower here, and she couldn't help feeling a little strange, but not repulsive.

She remembered that when she and Chen Xu were still in the cold war, she would even keep their clothes several meters apart when hanging them out to dry.

Now, we no longer feel disgusted by sharing a bathroom.

[There is no other way. Gasoline is scarce now. We need to use it sparingly.] She thought so and started to take off her clothes.
