Chapter 15 Shoveling Snow
Fu Sinan finally finished opening all the boxes, then collapsed limply onto Gu Mozhi's lap like a lump of mud. His eyes were tightly closed, and he mumbled, "I'm so tired, I need to rest..."
After a while, Fu Sinan suddenly seemed to remember something, opened his eyes abruptly, looked up at Gu Mozhi, and asked, "By the way, Mozhi, what's the temperature outside today?"
Gu Mozhi thought for a moment and replied, "It's alright now, only around -40 degrees Celsius. It hasn't dropped too much all at once. Yesterday it was only -30 degrees Celsius. It should get colder day by day, but I don't know what temperature it will eventually stop at."
Upon hearing this, Fu Sinan couldn't help but sigh, "After this extreme cold passes, I wonder how many people will be..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.
Gu Mozhi nodded, agreeing with Fu Sinan's opinion, and then said, "They should all be prepared, right? If they're not, there's nothing we can do. We can help once, but we can't help every time. After all, there are so many people, we can't help everyone."
Fu Sinan sighed and said, "You're right. We should just focus on living our own lives well."
Just then, Gu Mozhi noticed that the snow outside seemed to have stopped. He quickly said, "The snow has stopped. I have to go out and shovel snow, otherwise the next time a monster comes, it might appear right above our heads."
Upon hearing this, Fu Sinan immediately sat up from Gu Mozhi's lap and said, "I'll go too. Let's both dress warmly and bring more tools so we can shovel the snow together."
The two men donned heavy winter clothing and protective gear, grabbed shovels, and got out of the car. As soon as they stepped outside, the biting wind felt like knives cutting into their faces. They began shoveling snow with all their might, the snow crunching under their feet.
As he was shoveling, Fu Sinan suddenly heard a strange noise, like something moving under the snow. He nudged Gu Mozhi warily and whispered, "Mozhi, listen." Gu Mozhi also stopped what he was doing and listened carefully.
Just then, a gigantic yeti leaped out of the snowdrift in front of them. It was taller than two people, covered in long, snow-white fur, and its blood-red eyes gleamed with ferocity. The yeti roared and charged at them. Gu Mozhi and Fu Sinan reacted quickly, grabbing their shovels to confront it. They skillfully dodged the yeti's attacks, searching for an opportunity to counterattack. Gu Mozhi seized the moment and slammed his shovel into the yeti's leg. The yeti roared in pain. Fu Sinan followed up with another blow, and finally, the yeti collapsed into the snow under their combined attack. The two exchanged a smile and continued shoveling snow.
After more than two hours of hard work, Gu Mozhi and another person finally completed part of the snow shoveling. Gu Mozhi suggested that they go back into the car to warm up first, and then get out to continue shoveling snow later.
The two quickly returned to the car, feeling a wave of warmth wash over them. They eagerly took off their heavy coats, neatly arranged them, and then plopped down on the soft sofa, letting out a sigh of relief.
On this day, in addition to shoveling snow, they also had to deal with monsters that would occasionally attack them. These monsters were completely white, blending into the snow, and could be attacked if they were not careful, so they always remained highly vigilant.
And so, the two spent a long day in intense work and battle, until it got dark before they decided to go back to their car to rest properly.
The stress of the whole day had left them exhausted, and all they wanted to do was relax. Gu Mozhi was about to get up to cook when Fu Sinan quickly stopped him, smiling and saying, "Don't bother, there's already some food ready. Let's eat this today." Gu Mozhi thought about it and agreed, so he sat down obediently.
Fu Sinan then took out the prepared food from the trunk and grabbed a few bottles of beer, warmly inviting them, "Come on, let's have a drink." So, the two sat facing each other, enjoying the food and drinking heartily.
After a few rounds of drinks and several dishes, the two men gradually opened up. They talked about everything under the sun, sharing their experiences and feelings, and laughter echoed throughout the carriage.
Before they knew it, the two, having eaten and drunk their fill, felt a little sleepy. After a quick wash, they returned to their room, lay down in their warm blankets, and drifted off to sleep.
In the dead of night, when all was quiet, Fu Sinan suddenly woke up. He looked around sleepily, then gently lifted the covers and tiptoed toward the bathroom.
After relieving himself, Fu Sinan returned to the bedroom and saw Gu Mozhi lying quietly on the bed, fast asleep. Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a soft glow on his face.
Fu Sinan couldn't help but be attracted by the beautiful scenery before him. He slowly walked to the bedside, leaned over, and gently kissed Gu Mozhi's lips.
The kiss was very light, as light as a feather brushing against him, but it was enough to wake Gu Mozhi from his sleep. He felt a soft touch on his lips, as if something was kissing him, and slowly opened his eyes.
Gu Mozhi's voice was a little hoarse from just waking up. He looked at Fu Sinan in front of him and asked in confusion, "Baby, why are you awake?"
Fu Sinan smiled slightly and replied, "I went to the restroom." As he spoke, he leaned down and kissed Gu Mozhi on the lips. "When I came back and saw you sleeping so soundly, I couldn't help but want to tease you a little."
Upon hearing this, Gu Mozhi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile. He reached out and hugged Fu Sinan tightly, whispering, "Alright, then you can bully me then."
Fu Sinan felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he was embraced by Gu Mozhi. He playfully snuggled against Gu Mozhi, then looked up into Gu Mozhi's eyes and said coquettishly, "Brother, will you let me bully you?"
Gu Mozhi didn't speak, but responded to Fu Sinan with his actions. He gently kissed Fu Sinan's lips, tenderly and passionately entwining with him.
The girl inside let out a soft hum, her voice still slightly hoarse, and said sweetly, "I've had enough sleep, I just want to kiss you." Gu Mozhi looked into the girl's hazy, loving eyes and felt his heart soften. He hugged her tightly, gently nuzzling her head with his chin, and whispered, "You want to kiss me so much? Then I'll have to 'return the favor' properly." With that, he kissed her again, this time with a passionate intensity, unlike the previous kiss.
The person in his arms unconsciously wrapped their arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. After a long while, they separated. The person's cheeks were flushed, and their eyes darted away. Gu Mozhi looked at their shy expression and couldn't help but chuckle. "Why are you still shy? Who was it that kissed me first?" The person lightly punched him and said sweetly, "It's because I missed you so much."
Gu Mozhi buried his head in the crook of the other's neck and whispered, "I miss you too, I don't want to be apart from you for even a moment." The two embraced each other, enjoying this warm and sweet moment.
Thanks to Gu Mozhi's efforts, Fu Sinan fell asleep again.
Gu Mozhi looked at the sleeping person with affection, got up, fetched water to wash him clean, tidied himself up, and then went to bed to hold him and sleep.
