It's raining heavily outside and drizzling inside.
Sheng An Ning stood beside the bed holding a flashlight, watching Zhou Shixun bring all the pots and pans from home and place them on the bed and the floor. There was no place for anyone to sleep in the whole room.
Zhou Shixun said apologetically: "The roof was not repaired in the fall, so it will leak when it rains. Why don't you stay in the outer room for a while, and I will repair the roof when the weather is better."
Sheng An Ning looked at the pots and pans lying around and didn't think much about it: "Your bed is so small, it can't even accommodate two people."
Her face instantly turned red after she finished speaking. What nonsense was she talking about? !
Fortunately, it was dark in the room and Zhou Shixun couldn't see her embarrassment.
Zhou Shixun obviously didn't react and was stunned for a moment: "You sleep outside, I'll live in the dormitory."
Sheng An Ning hugged a quilt and went to the outer room with Zhou Shixun. It was raining heavily outside, and Zhou Shixun was still some distance away from his workplace. It was the middle of the night, and there was not even a street light on the road.
She couldn't bear to go there in the rain.
After struggling for a while, he said to Zhou Shixun straightforwardly: "You don't have to go to the dormitory, I can just sleep on the floor."
As he said this, he put the bedding into the small bedroom and went to the inner room to get the cushion from under the bed.
When she was cleaning the house yesterday, she saw a straw mat under the bed. The original owner had torn it off the bed because it was dirty and stuffed it under the bed. Now it could be laid on the floor without any problem.
Zhou Shixun lit a candle and placed it on the cupboard. He watched Sheng Anning drag the mattress out and went over to help: "Let me do it. You sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the floor."
Sheng An Ning was embarrassed: "How can that be possible? Let me sleep. You still have to go to work tomorrow."
Zhou Shixun had already carried the mat to the ground and spread it out. He then rolled up his own bedding and spread it on the straw mat: "The ground is cold. I'm used to it. You can sleep on the bed."
Sheng An Ning couldn't argue, so she made the bed and lay down, only to realize that she was sleeping in the same room with a man, and they were only one meter apart.
This is an experience I have never had before!
There was a dim candlelight on the cupboard, a kettle was sizzling on the stove, and outside the window the rain was pouring down.
The sound was infinitely amplified in the darkness, and even the faint candlelight seemed a little dazzling to Sheng An Ning.
Although I was using my own bedding, the air I breathed was filled with a fresh and pleasant smell.
He didn't even dare to turn over, for fear that the noise would disturb Zhou Shixun.
Sheng An Ning felt like she was crazy. She had seen all kinds of situations, but why was she so nervous at this moment?
Maybe it's because Zhou Shixun is the only person she is familiar with in this strange world, so she feels shy?
He lay there until his bones started to ache, so he had to turn over gently. By turning sideways, he could clearly see Zhou Shixun lying flat, his outline blurred in the shadows.
Sheng An Ning suddenly felt dry in the mouth and swallowed carefully: "Zhou Shixun, are you asleep?"
Zhou Shixun said nothing.
Sheng An Ning knew that Zhou Shixun hadn't slept: "Zhou Shixun, you said you would go to the city in a few days, is that right?"
"Next Monday." Zhou Shixun answered concisely.
Sheng Anning calculated that today was only Wednesday, and there were still four days until next Monday.
There was nothing she could do during these four days, so she might as well learn how to knit sweaters from Qin Hongxia.
I also need to find out whether the divorce has any impact on Zhou Shixun. Also, when I return to the city, I will meet the original owner's parents and family, and I have to think about how to face them.
After all, the original owner grew up with his parents for twenty years, so such a big change is still easy to be discovered.
Sheng Anning still felt a little headache when she thought about calling strangers to her "mom and dad".
The rain was pouring down and there was no sign of it stopping.
It is really rare to have such rain in early spring.
When Sheng An Ning was about to fall asleep, she felt some movement on the ground. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Shixun walking out while putting on his coat.
Sitting up nervously: "What happened?"
"There's a strange noise. I'll go take a look. The snow on the mountain has melted recently, and it's raining so heavily. It's very easy for a landslide to occur." Zhou Shixun said quickly, and he opened the door and walked out.
Sheng An Ning quickly got up and opened the door to see Zhou Shixun wearing a coat and blending into the rain.
The wind wrapped in rain blew over her in an instant, making her shiver, and she quickly closed the door and went back.
Zhou Shixun didn't come back until dawn.
The rain outside has become much lighter, but it is still drizzling.
Sheng Anning didn't know that Zhou Shixun went directly to work. Was it really as he said, a landslide occurred?
I searched for a long time but couldn't find an umbrella, so I had to jog to the toilet in the rain.
There is only one public toilet in the family compound, in the southeast corner. There is a long row of squat toilets without even a partition in the middle.
Yesterday, Sheng An Ning was still uncomfortable and unwilling to go, but today she has completely adapted.
It was so early, and there was already a queue for the toilet. Several women were standing in the drizzle gossiping, and they didn't shy away when they saw Sheng An Ning coming over.
"There was a landslide in Jiangjia Village last night, and the entire village was buried."
"That's right. It's really miserable. I have discussed it with the other sisters-in-law and will come over to help after breakfast."
"Then I'll go too. Doctor Xiao also went there early this morning."
Sheng An Ning was shocked after hearing this. She didn't expect it to be so serious!
Then I thought, can the rescue force keep up at this time? And is the medical team professional enough? After all, this place is far away from the city, and it takes several hours to get here from the city.
The medical level of surrounding township hospitals is quite limited, and even the most basic operations may be difficult to complete.
She came out of the bathroom and ran home. Her professional habit didn't allow her to think too much, so she just wanted to go there and help as much as possible.
I washed my face hastily and put on a thick coat, preparing to go out, when a young man I had never seen before ran over breathlessly: "Sister-in-law, the captain is injured and has been sent to the city hospital. The leader asked me to come pick you up."
Sheng Anning was startled: "Injured? Is it serious?"
"I don't know. The car is at the door. Sister-in-law, let's go quickly."
Sheng An Ning didn't have time to think about it. She ran back to the house, took all the property in the cabinet, and ran to the gate following Song Kai who came to report the news.
A green jeep was parked at the gate, with a dignified-looking middle-aged man sitting in the passenger seat, worry locked between his brows.
On the way, Sheng An Ning realized that the person sitting in front of him was Zhou Shixun's leader Zhong Zhiguo. In order to save the trapped people, Zhou Shixun was hit on the back by a rock from a secondary landslide and was unconscious when he was rescued.
Zhong Zhiguo finished speaking briefly, then turned around and saw Sheng Anning with an ugly expression, a layer of mist in her beautiful eyes, faintly red.
I thought to myself, it seems that Sheng An Ning is not completely without feelings for Zhou Shixun. She was so sad when she heard that someone was injured.
But he was wrong. Sheng Anning was indeed worried about Zhou Shixun, but now she was a little carsick and wanted to vomit.
I didn't expect the road to the city to be so bumpy. Sitting in this old jeep is like sitting in a go-kart. It's shaking my internal organs to the point of popping out...
