After Luo Xiyun entered the bathroom, Chen Xu also got up and put on his clothes, folding the quilt.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, he saw a spot on the sky blue sheet, and couldn't help feeling strange.
“No way…”
His heart skipped a beat and he thought of a possibility. The more he looked at the trace, the more he felt that his guess was correct.
Last night?
Doesn't she have a boyfriend?
He was a little bit unbelievable.
The color of the mark was too light. At first, he didn't think about it that way. However, under normal circumstances, there was no reason for it to have color. Apart from this, there was no other possibility.
He thought about it and walked to the trash can. Sure enough.
An indescribable feeling surged in her heart.
…………
After a while, Luo Xiyun came out of the shower and saw that Chen Xu was not in the room. He was about to go out to find him. Suddenly, he glanced at the bed sheet and felt a little hot on his face. He hurried over to put the bed sheet away and took out a new bed sheet from the cabinet to spread it on.
Just as she finished, she saw Chen Xu walk in with a plate, saying, "I made breakfast. Come, eat it while it's hot."
Luo Xiyun saw that the porridge contained red dates, wolfberries and red beans, which made him feel a little strange. "Don't you dislike sweet food?"
"This is specially made for you." Chen Xu pulled her to sit on the bed, picked up a bowl, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and brought it to her mouth.
Luo Xiyun was a little uncomfortable with his sudden enthusiasm, so she blocked it with her hand and said, "I'll do it myself."
Chen Xu did not insist. He stuffed the bowl and spoon into her hands and said, "Eat more. There is still a lot in the pot. I will serve you more after you finish eating."
"You eat too." Luo Xiyun saw him staring at her, his face a little hot, and said to him.
"Okay." Chen Xu picked up the bowl and started eating.
After breakfast, Chen Xu came back after washing the pots and bowls. Seeing her frowning and looking worried, he sat next to her and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No... I..." Luo Xiyun hesitated and lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and said in a low voice, "Well, well. What if, I get pregnant?" She spoke lower and lower, and by the end, it was almost inaudible.
Chen Xu had never seen her so shy and timid before. It completely overturned the image of her in his mind. The resulting gap made him feel itchy. He leaned close to her ear and said, "If you are really pregnant, just give birth to the baby."
Luo Xiyun was so embarrassed that she pushed him away and said, "It's already this hour, and you're still talking nonsense."
Seeing that she was really anxious, Chen Xu stopped provoking her and comforted her, "Don't worry, you are in the safe period now, you won't get pregnant."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Luo Xiyun looking at him with a strange look, which made him feel a little guilty. He asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"
She said in a weird tone, "How did you know?"
"Know what?"
"Safe period."
Luo Xiyun gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, you are a big pervert."
Her face was flushed, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and she spoke with a nasal tone. Although it was clearly a rebuke, it came out of her mouth with an indescribable lingering and sad tone, which made Chen Xu's heart flutter.
He grinned and said, "So, how does it feel to have sex with a pervert?"
Luo Xiyun's face flushed red, and he pushed him away, saying bitterly, "Disgusting."
Chen Xu laughed and stopped teasing her, lest she get angry and take it out on him in the end.
………………
The relationship between the two had a breakthrough, and in the following days, they began to live together in real life.
As the days passed, the wind and snow outside seemed to be getting stronger.
On the fifth day, Chen Xu finally made up his mind to take Luo Xiyun with him and go out to get some gasoline.
He had a premonition that as the dream drew closer to its end, the weather would become increasingly severe. If he didn't go now, he would never be able to go again.
Now, the snow outside was more than half a meter thick, and the car could not be driven at all. So he spent another two days preparing, and only set out on the seventh day.
On the day of departure, Chen Xu drove a forklift in front to shovel snow. Luo Xiyun followed in a large truck. What they lacked was gasoline, but they had a lot of diesel in stock. This time, they loaded half a truck with diesel.
As a result, the speed is naturally very slow.
They didn't dare to rest on the way, for fear that the car would break down, which would mean a complete death.
It took them ten hours to cross the icy area and reach the construction area where Chen Xu had been last time. Soon, they found a gas station.
The two were exhausted after driving for so long, so they decided to take a rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow. They found a building nearby with a wide enough door and drove the forklift and truck in.
This was originally a tile shop. The door was locked, but Chen Xu pried it open. The area inside was large enough. He used a forklift to move the tiles on display to one side, which was large enough to park two cars.
Then, Chen Xu took a small gas stove from the car and cooked a pot of noodles. The two of them gathered around the pot and devoured it all.
After eating the noodles, Chen Xu felt alive. There was no heater on the forklift, and he was almost frozen to death.
After resting for a while, he built a fire in the corner and set up the tent next to it.
"When will this snow stop?"
After finishing their work, the two of them sat in front of the fire and warmed themselves. Luo Xiyun hugged his knees with his hands, staring at the fire in front of him, as if talking to himself.
Chen Xu looked at her face, which was red from the fire, and said softly, "It probably won't rain for long."
Luo Xiyun turned his head and looked at him, "What if it never stops?"
For a moment, Chen Xu didn't know how to answer, because he knew that the snow might really continue to fall.
