Chen Xin, who was de-icing in the small bunker, suddenly heard someone calling his name. He looked out of the observation window where the ice had been removed and saw that the door of his shelter was open and Qin Lan was sitting on his knees. On the snow.
Chen Xin was a little confused, but he still used the flashlight on his hand to shine towards Qin Lan.
"What are you shouting for? You ran out so early in the morning without wearing protective equipment. Do you want to freeze to death? Come in and close the door for me!" Chen Xin yelled angrily at Qin Lan.
It snowed a little this morning and the temperature was very low. Qin Lan just ran out without wearing any protective equipment. The low temperature of -30℃ can freeze a person to death in just a short while. If it lasts longer, it can even cause frostbite or even frostbite. freeze to death.
Seeing Qin Lan kneeling in the snow like this, it's no wonder that Chen Xin would be angry.
Hearing Chen Xin's voice, Qin Lan quickly turned around, but was blinded by the light of the flashlight.
I could only block my eyes with one hand, squinted my eyes and shouted at the top: "A Xin? How did you get up there? What are you doing?"
"I'm de-icing, please get in quickly!" Chen Xin became more and more angry and yelled angrily at Qin Lan through his protective mask.
After being yelled at by Chen Xin, Qin Lan felt that her whole body was completely cold. She quickly climbed up from the snow with some stiffness. After entering the shelter, she closed the door.
After knocking off the last bit of ice, Chen Xin returned to the shelter from the passage with a hammer. Looking at Qin Lan who was standing in the maintenance room with his arms trembling, he took off the protective mask on his face and shouted at She yelled dissatisfied: "You are so nervous this early in the morning! You are afraid of freezing to death if you run out like this!"
"I... I didn't see you when I got up just now. I thought you... you went out..." Qin Lan lowered her head in discomfort, feeling very aggrieved.
However, seeing Chen Xin's angry look, she rushed up to him and hugged him: "I thought you were angry with me, so you ran out and ignored me..."
As he spoke, Qin Lan's tears rolled down.
Looking at Qin Lan who was crying while hugging him, Chen Xin's original dissatisfaction disappeared. He reached out and patted her twice gently on the back without saying anything else.
"Where have you gone?" After lying in Chen Xin's arms and crying for a while, Qin Lan quickly recovered her emotions. However, the way she cried so much was very different from the usual capable female special police officer. She even seemed Somewhat weak.
"I went to de-ice the vents. The weather is so cold now. Ice accumulates in the vents of the shelter every day. If it is not de-iced, it will be blocked." Chen Xin explained to Qin Lan and also showed her He hit the hammer in his hand.
Looking at Chen Xinxin's hammer, Qin Lan finally believed that he was removing ice, but she still asked in confusion: "Then where did you go out from? Why didn't I see you when I looked around inside just now? "
Regarding this question, Chen Xin just made a helpless expression, took Qin Lan to the corridor, and pointed to the open passage on the wall of the corridor.
"Is this a Taoist gate?" Qin Lan looked at the opened passage on the corridor in surprise. She really didn't notice that there was actually a gate here.
"On top are communication antennas and vents. I made a bunker out of reinforced concrete. Due to the weather and the high humidity of the air discharged from the vents, it is easy to freeze and needs to be de-iced regularly." Chen Xin explained, Then he closed the door on the corridor wall again.
After Chen Xin closed the door, Qin Lan took a closer look and found that the door was very inconspicuous. Although it was not hidden deliberately, the light in the corridor was poor, and the door happened to be between two lights. The darkest place, you will ignore it if you don't pay attention.
Both Qin Lan and Chen Xin felt a little embarrassed that such a minor mistake had occurred.
"You go in first to warm up, I'll take off the protective clothing." Chen Xin touched Qin Lan's hand and saw that her fingers were cold, so he asked her to go back to the shelter first: "By the way, boil some hot water, why are you blowing the cold wind like this? It’s easy to catch a cold.”
At this time, Qin Lan didn't say much, nodded obediently, and re-entered the shelter.
Chen Xin also returned to the maintenance room, closed several doors again, took off his heavy protective clothing and protective mask, and then returned to the shelter.
In the shelter, Qin Lan had put on the coat that she had not worn before, and was warming up the electric heater while the kitchen stove next to her was also boiling water.
"Are you feeling better?" Chen Xin took up the Snickers bar that Qin Lan put on the workbench yesterday and handed it to her: "You brought this here yesterday. Eat it first to replenish calories."
As Chen Xin spoke, he came to the kitchen again and saw that the water was almost boiling. Then he found a cup and took the water off the stove. He poured a cup of hot water for Qin Lan and brought it to her.
Seeing Qin Lan's still pale face, Chen Xin shook his head, walked into the bedroom and took out a hot water bottle from the cabinet, returned to the kitchen, filled it with hot water and stuffed it directly into Qin Lan's clothes.
"What is this!" Qin Lan was stunned for a moment when Chen Xin suddenly stuffed something into her arms, but the heat radiated from the hot water bottle soon warmed her up.
"Hot water bottle, Ah Lan, you didn't use it when you were a child?" Chen Xin looked at Qin Lan and was stunned for a moment before he realized: "Oh, I forgot. At your age, I guess you have never seen this kind of hot water bottle. Have you seen it?" They should all be electric heating things.”
Qin Lan heard what Chen Xin said and reached into her arms to take out the hot water bottle for a look, but Chen Xin directly reached out and held her down.
"Cover for a while, let's warm up before talking." Chen Xin stopped her, but quickly took his hand back because the place he just pressed was Qin Lan's chest.
Seeing Chen Xin withdrawing his hand, Qin Lan was amused by his actions, but she didn't mind it. She just smiled and asked Chen Xin: "A Xin, why are you unwilling to go to the official shelter? "
"This question..." After hearing Qin Lan's question, Chen Xin thought for a moment before replying: "Just like Alan, you will not give up your job in the SWAT team and move in with me. People always have a little persistence. And I I have invested so much effort and energy here, and the living conditions are better than those in the official shelters. If you ask me to move now, how can I be willing
If I can't live anymore, Alan, if you ask me to move now, I will pack my luggage and go with you immediately, without any nonsense. But now, except for the fact that no one talks to me and I lack communication with others, I am actually living a good life. If you ask me to move, how can I move? "(End of chapter)
