"Axin, do you have to come out and clear the snow every day from now on? Otherwise, one day when the snow is heavy, I will just bury your door. Wouldn't you be locked down there and unable to get out?" Qin Lan shoveled the snow while , while joking at Chen Xin.
Although it was just a joke, her worries were not unreasonable. A snowstorm left the snow on the ground waist-deep. It is impossible for the snow to melt in this kind of weather where the temperature continues to drop. If there is another few snowfalls, the door of Chen Xin's house will probably be damaged. It will be completely buried under the snow.
But this is not something that needs to be concerned about, especially for Chen Xin who is particularly decadent today.
"Just bury it. Anyway, I have food and drink in the shelter. Whether I can go out or not doesn't have much impact on me." Although Chen Xin was still shoveling the snow, his attitude was very indifferent.
Qin Lan couldn't help but frown when she heard Chen Xin's answer. As Chen Xin's ex-girlfriend, she noticed that something was not right about Chen Xin's state.
Just when she was about to say something to Chen Xin, the young special police officer who was helping to shovel the snow suddenly asked: "Sister Lan, Brother Chen, why is the snow so black? I thought it was just a look on my face at first. The layer is dirty, why is the snow underneath so dirty?”
The young special police officer looked at the snow that had been dug up in front of him and asked Qin Lan and Chen Xin in confusion.
"Look up at the sky." Chen Xin didn't bother to explain, he just raised his finger and pointed to the sky.
The young SWAT officer looked up and saw nothing but darkness.
Seeing the puzzled look on the young special police officer's face, Qin Lan couldn't stand it, so she explained to him: "What A Xin means is that the dust in the sky is so thick now that even the sun is blocked, and even if it snows, it will bring a lot of dust with it." dust, so the snow will naturally be dirtier.”
"So that's it! Thank you, Sister Lan, I understand." The young special police officer thanked him and said nothing more, just shoveling the snow hard.
The three of them shoveled not long before Chen Xin stopped and said, "Okay, that's enough. The door can be opened."
Hearing what Chen Xin said, the other two people stopped their actions and looked at the door. There was only about one meter of snow shoveled. Qin Lan asked with some worry: "Is this enough?" You can't get out of the car like this?"
"We don't need to drive out today, as long as we can open the door." Chen Xin shook his head indifferently, turned around and opened the door of the shelter: "Bring your things in."
Qin Lan looked at Chen Xin and felt more and more that there was something wrong with his condition today.
But she still made a gesture to the young special police officer and asked him to go to the car with her and move out the six outdoor air conditioners they brought.
The three of them moved the eight outdoor air-conditioning units into Chen Xin's shelter. Qin Lan looked at the stacked outdoor air-conditioning units and asked Chen Xin: "A Xin, do you want to help you move these things?"
Qin Lan comes to Chen Xin's place quite often, and knows that the space under his shelter is actually not very large. The eight outdoor air conditioners take up a lot of space, and it may take up a lot of space if they are moved down.
However, Chen Xin shook his head and said, "Move it down. If you put it on top, won't I still have to move it up when I want to use it?"
"Okay, there is a trailer anyway, so it won't be troublesome to drag it down." Qin Lan nodded slightly, and without saying anything, she and the young special police officer put the outdoor air conditioner they brought on the trailer, and followed Chen Xin with the trailer. Went down to the shelter.
As soon as he walked through the corridor and entered the shelter, Qin Lan clearly felt the difference.
"A Xin, what are you doing..." Qin Lan took off his protective mask and gloves, stretched out his hand to feel the temperature in Chen Xin's shelter, and looked at him in surprise: "Did you turn on the heater?"
"No, I just made the ground source heat pump and installed it myself." Chen Xin said, pointing to the ground source heat pump that he had installed.
Qin Lan was surprised, followed Chen Xin's finger to look at the ground source heat pump, and asked with interest: "Can I take a look?"
"Feel free, just don't move around." Chen Xin shrugged and directed the young special police officer beside him to send eight outdoor air conditioners into the storage room with him.
Qin Lan walked to the ground source heat pump and looked at the working unit. Listening to the hum of the compressor, Qin Lan couldn't help but reach out and touch the pipes above.
"Hiss~!" Qin Lan quickly retracted her finger, looked at the red patch on her fingertip, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "The temperature is so high?"
"The one you are touching is a heat pipe. It is used to conduct heat to the greenhouse next door. The temperature is of course high." Chen Xin's voice came from behind. He walked to Qin Lan, held her hand and took a look: "Fortunately, it's not serious. You shouldn't need to apply burn cream."
Hearing what Chen Xin said, Qin Lan quickly pulled his hand back and said angrily: "I'm not that squeamish, and I'm not boiling water."
Seeing Qin Lan's appearance, Chen Xin could only raise his eyebrows helplessly.
This was actually the reason why they broke up in the first place. Chen Xin always regarded Qin Lan as a weak woman and was worried about her. But Qin Lan herself felt that she was not that weak. On the contrary, Chen Xin was a little lacking in physical exercise and felt that he was The one who needs protection.
This cognitive difference led to conflicts in the two's daily lives, and many quarrels broke out between them.
Chen Xin feels that Qin Lan is too strong, but Qin Lan feels that Chen Xin is too chauvinistic.
Although they love each other, they cannot let both parties accept the differences between each other's perceptions and their own.
"Let's sit down for a while before we go. Do you want a Coke?" Chen Xin looked at Qin Lan. Perhaps he felt that no one had chatted with him for too long, so he took the initiative to invite Qin Lan.
Qin Lan glanced at the young special police officer eating melon on the side and saw that he had no objection, so the two of them followed Chen Xin to his living room.
"A Xin, what are you..." Seeing the Coke that Chen Xin put on the coffee table in front of the sofa and the game that he pressed pause in the middle of playing, Qin Lan's brows wrinkled, but then relaxed, and she just looked at Chen Xin with a lot of eyes. Worried: "Are you in a bad mood lately?"
"No? Maybe I just lack sugar." Chen Xin denied it. He just reached out and picked up the unfinished Coke on the coffee table. After taking a sip, he said: "I found this in an abandoned store. The quantity is It’s not much, just enough for the two of you to share a can, so grab a cup and pour it.”
Hearing Chen Xin's words, the young special police officer quickly shook his head and said, "I don't need it. Just drink it, Sister Lan. I don't like Coke!"
Chen Xin looked at the other party's understanding look and didn't say much. He just nodded, picked up an unopened can of Coke and threw it to Qin Lan. (End of chapter)
