These days, as the wind and snow became bigger and bigger, Chen Xu could feel that Luo Xiyun was becoming more and more restless. Every night in the middle of the night, I will be awakened by nightmares.
He had never seen such a vulnerable and helpless side of her. At this moment, he could do nothing but give her more physical and mental comfort.
He grabbed her hand, looked her in the eyes, and said, "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
Luo Xiyun put his hand on his face, feeling the coldness and slightly rough touch of his palm, and slowly closed his eyes, the worry between his brows gradually smoothed away.
Chen Xu looked at her calm and peaceful face, and a certain string in his heart was plucked.
These days, a thought has been lingering in his mind. When this dream is over, he wakes up, what will happen to this dream world, what about Luo Xiyun who lives in this dream
He really wanted to ask the virtual dream device that sent him to this dream world, but no matter how he called, there was no response at all.
In his feeling, there are some unreal things in this dream world, and it is not difficult to accept this.
However, Luo Xiyun gave him the feeling that he was a real person. Her body temperature, her breath, her whisper, her scream, her cry, her trembling, her convulsion... are all so real.
When the dream is over, will she disappear with the dream
However, even if this dream world can be preserved, after he leaves, she will be left alone in the whole world. For her, maybe it is more terrifying than death
He was a little confused.
"If one day I die and you are the only one left..."
"I will live on." Luo Xiyun said in a soft voice without opening her eyes.
"It's so sad, I thought you would die for me."
"Stop being sentimental. I won't live for anyone."
After Luo Xiyun finished speaking, she waited for a long time, did not hear him speak, opened her eyes, saw him staring at the fire, and said softly, "Why, hurt your self-esteem?"
"Yeah. It hurts deeply."
Chen Xu smiled and said, "Okay, you can go to bed first. You have to work tomorrow."
... ... ...
Early the next morning, the two got up to work, and spent the whole morning filling up the empty barrels they had brought. This was physical work, and the two of them were so tired that they almost fell to the ground.
So, they rested here for another night to recover their exhausted energy, and they left here on the third morning and started on their way home.
They returned by the same route, and the road they had shoveled out was still there. The journey was much easier, and it took only five hours to return to the villa.
Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily nothing happened along the way. If you save a little on the gasoline shipped this time, it won't be a problem to persist for two months.
In order to celebrate the successful completion of this mission, the two took out the few remaining tomatoes and fried them to eat.
The torrential rain came too fast. When they moved, they brought very few fresh vegetables, so they had to freeze them for preservation. These tomatoes are the last ones in stock.
Outside, the sky is full of wind and snow.
Inside the house, it was as warm as spring, and the two sat at the dining table, eating hot meals. At least in this small world, this is the happiness that belongs to the two of them.
However, Chen Xu knew that when the dream ended and the countdown began, such happiness would not last long.
...
On the fifteenth day from the end, in his sleep, the glass window of the room suddenly burst open with a bang, and the bitter cold wind wrapped in snow particles blew up.
The two who were awakened were wrapped in quilts and hurried out of the room.
When they got outside, they found that all the glass windows in the villa were blown up, and none survived. The small world that was originally warm could not resist the severe cold.
In the end, they could only hide in the cloakroom next to the master bedroom. Wrapped in a quilt, they hugged each other to keep warm while listening to the howling wind outside the house.
Chen Xu had already expected this day in his heart, so he was not shocked, but he was very worried about Luo Xiyun.
To his surprise, Luo Xiyun in his arms seemed very calm, not panicked, but just hugged him tightly without saying a word.
Slowly, he closed his eyes, no longer thinking about the dream, no longer thinking about the severe cold of tens of degrees below zero outside the door.
A goose down quilt isolates them from the outside world. A small world was formed.
In this pitch-black darkness, the two bodies were tightly pressed together, listening to each other's heartbeat, feeling each other's breath, and asking for each other's temperature.
Enjoy this brief warmth and tranquility.
...
After dawn, Chen Xu and the others put on thick warm clothes, and sealed all the windows with a whole piece of wood. Except for the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony in the living room, because I couldn't find such a large piece of wood.
Fortunately, there were no windows in the basement, so escaped a catastrophe. Generators placed here are not affected.
As long as the generator still works, it's not a big problem. At least, don't worry about freezing to death.
It took them two days to clean everything up. However, life is still affected a lot, at least, every time I go out to the living room, I have to wear thick clothes.
Moreover, Chen Xu clearly felt that the weather was getting colder day by day. The heating effect of the heating is getting worse and worse.
After all, this is the south, and the temperature in winter rarely drops below freezing. Although this villa uses some insulation materials, it did not consider the weather of tens of degrees below zero at the beginning of its construction.
Luo Xiyun also became more and more silent.
When the countdown entered the tenth day, Chen Xu also wanted to let go, let go of everything, thought of nothing, just wanted to enjoy the time with her to the fullest.
Only the reaction to his request became more and more intense. Faced with some of his more outrageous demands, he was not as resistant as he was at the beginning. He always pushed and refused, but finally complied.
The penultimate day.
In the morning, Luo Xiyun woke up from Chen Xu's arms as usual, got up lightly, and covered her with the quilt. After washing, as usual, she put on a thick protective suit and opened the door a crack.
She immediately noticed the abnormality, and it was very easy to open the door, and the expected cold wind pouring in through the crack of the door did not appear.
With a sudden jump in her heart, she opened the door a little, and finally confirmed one thing.
The wind died down.
She rushed out of the door, stood in front of the balcony, covered her mouth, tears rushed out of her eyes.
Outside the balcony, there is still a world covered in silver, but the snow that has lasted for more than half a month has stopped, and at the end of the world, a round of golden sun is spreading light and heat.
