After eating, Chen Xu washed the dishes, found Luo Xiyun who was walking around the base camp, and said, "Let's talk."
"Okay." Luo Xiyun nodded, and followed him to his usual place.
After sitting down, Chen Xu asked her, "What are your plans in the future?"
A trace of confusion flashed across Luo Xiyun's eyes, and his voice was a little low, "I don't know either..."
If the entire world of humans were to disappear, nothing would seem to make much of a difference.
"In this case, I suggest you stay here first." Chen Xu said.
Luo Xiyun raised his head and looked at him.
He continued, "First, the two of us are together, we have a headache, and we take care of each other. Second, I have made a lot of preparations this month. The living conditions here are definitely better than those in other places." The place is nicer. What do you think?"
"Let me think about it."
Luo Xiyun didn't agree on the spot, "I'll give you an answer tonight."
"Row."
Of course Chen Xu hoped that she could stay, then the next few months would be much easier.
However, taking a step back, even if she doesn't want to stay, it's not unacceptable.
This is just a dream, and in five months, it will return to reality. It's not like you can't live without her. It is absolutely impossible for him to beg her to stay in a low voice.
... ... ...
In the afternoon, Chen Xu packed up a room in a nearby shop and let Luo Xiyun live in it.
The room had been vacant for a month, it had accumulated a lot of dust, and it took a lot of time to clean it.
Luo Xiyun also helped.
After cleaning, another bed was moved in, as well as some tables, chairs and so on.
Unknowingly, one afternoon passed.
For dinner, Chen Xu simply fried two steaks. There were no vegetables to accompany them, so he made some leftover mung bean sprouts and put them next to the plate. The bean sprouts are made by himself from mung beans, and he eats them as vegetables.
After Luo Xiyun sat down, Chen Xu took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and said, "This is the legendary Lafite from 1982. I got it in a high-end western restaurant. I don't know if it's true. Fake."
As he spoke, he opened the red wine and poured a glass for each of them from a goblet.
"Is it the Genting restaurant on the top floor of XX Building?" Luo Xiyun picked up the bottle and looked at it, then asked.
Chen Xu was a little surprised, "How do you know?"
"I used to go there often." Luo Xiyun put down the bottle, "There is the logo of that restaurant on it."
The two of them worked together in the afternoon, diluting the strangeness and talking more with each other.
Chen Xu raised his glass and said, "I heard that this red wine needs to be decanted in a special decanter, and the taste will be better. However, there is really no such thing here, so let's make do with it."
"That's good too." Luo Xiyun also raised his wine glass, touched him, and took a sip.
After putting down the glass, she said, "I decided to stay. However, there are some things that I think it is better to say in advance."
Chen Xu was very happy when she heard that she was willing to stay. There are still five months before the end of the dream. It's better to have a companion than to be alone.
What's more, she is still a big beauty, and it is not bad to look seductive every day. He said, "Just say anything."
"Then I'll be straight."
Luo Xiyun clasped his fingers together and looked at him, "You are not my type, I hope that we can keep a little distance between each other in the future..."
The smile on Chen Xu's face froze, he couldn't control the expression on his face, and became stiff.
He never thought that what she was going to say was actually this.
He knew that he was not handsome, not tall, and his family was not rich. From childhood to adulthood, his popularity with women was not very good. However, he never felt how bad he was.
Now, in this dream world, only Luo Xiyun and him are left. In this case, it seems to be a matter of course for the two to get together as a couple. If any man had such an experience, he would probably think the same way.
It was probably the same idea if it was another woman.
However, Luo Xiyun told him bluntly that she would not like him, which made him die.
Who do you think you are, and why do you despise me like this
Chen Xu's face was hot, and he felt that his self-esteem had been severely hurt.
After Luo Xiyun finished speaking, she didn't make another sound.
There was an unspeakable silence.
Only the faint roar of the diesel generator running could be heard outside the door.
Holding the red wine glass in his right hand, Chen Xu stared at the charred steak on the table. After a while, he said slowly, "It's pretty good."
His voice was hoarse.
After speaking, my heart gradually calmed down.
It's not the first time he's been rejected by a woman, and it's just in a dream, even the woman in front of him is not a real person, but a virtual one.
He coughed lightly, and continued, "Some things, it's good for everyone to make them clear in advance. I think your request is very reasonable and completely acceptable."
Luo Xiyun's tense face could not help but relax.
Chen Xu let go of his grip on the wine glass, took a clean towel next to him, and wiped off the sweat on his hands, "Just in time, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Luo Xiyun leaned back slightly, frowning visibly, and said, "What's the matter?"
"Since you are willing to stay, the two of us will live together in the future. I want to talk about the division of labor."
Chen Xu didn't look at her, and continued, "Right now, there are probably only the two of us left in this city. There is no electricity, no running water, and no takeaway. You have to do everything yourself."
"In the past, I was doing these things alone. Now that you're here, it's reasonable to share part of the work, right?"
Luo Xiyun nodded and said, "It's really reasonable."
"Originally, to be fair, all work should be done in turn. Today I am responsible for fetching water, and you are responsible for cooking, and tomorrow it will be reversed. I will cook, and you will fetch water, but—"
"Considering gender differences, I think it's better to change the distribution method. The physical work such as fetching water, diesel oil, etc., is mine. Things like cooking, washing dishes, and laundry are all yours. Responsible. Do you think this distribution is reasonable?"
Luo Xiyun nodded again, "It's quite reasonable."
"The specific distribution will be discussed tomorrow." After Chen Xu finished speaking, he picked up the knife and fork and cut open the steak that had already cooled down.
Luo Xiyun didn't say anything, and silently picked up the fork.
