028 Temporary warmth

These days, as the wind and snow become heavier, Chen Xu could feel that Luo Xiyun was becoming more and more anxious. Every midnight, he would be awakened by nightmares.

He had never seen her as fragile and helpless as she was. At this time, he could do nothing except give her more physical and mental comfort.

He grabbed her hand, looked into her eyes, and said, "No matter what happens, I will always be with you."

Luo Xiyun put his hand on his face, feeling the coldness and slightly rough touch of his palms, slowly closed his eyes, and the worries between his eyebrows gradually calmed down.

Chen Xu looked at her peaceful and peaceful face, and a string in his heart was plucked.

These days, there has been a thought in his mind that cannot be removed. When this dream ends, he wakes up. What will happen to this dream world? What about Luo Xiyun, who lives in this dream?

He wanted to ask about the virtual dream device that sent him to this dream world, but no matter how he called, he did not respond at all.

In his feelings, there are some unrealities in this dream world, and it is not difficult to accept this.

However, Luo Xiyun gave him a feeling of being a living person. Her body temperature, her breath, her whisper, her screams, her crying, her trembling, her spasms... are all so real.

When the dream ends, will she disappear with the dream?

However, even if this dream world can be preserved, after he left, she was alone in the whole world. Perhaps it was more terrifying to her than death?

He was a little confused.

"If one day, I die, you are the only one left..."

"I will live well." Luo Xiyun said in a very light voice without opening his eyes.

"It's so sad. I thought you would sacrifice for me."

"Stop being self-indulgent. I won't live for anyone."

After Luo Xiyun finished speaking, she waited for a long time but didn't hear him talking. She opened her eyes and saw him staring at the fire, and said softly, "What's wrong, is it hurting your self-esteem?"

"Yes. It's so hurt."

Chen Xu smiled and said, "Okay, you go to bed first. You have to work tomorrow."

……………………

The next morning, the two got up to work and spent a morning filling the empty buckets they brought. This was physical work, which made them so tired that they almost fell down.

So they rested here for another night and recovered their exhausted energy. On the third morning, they left here and embarked on the way home.

They returned the same way, and the way they shoveled out when they came was still there, and it was much easier along the way. It took only five hours before they returned to the villa.

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately there was no accident along the way. If the gasoline shipped back this time, it would be no problem to last for two months.

To celebrate the successful completion of this mission, the two took out the remaining tomatoes and fryed them.

The heavy rain came too quickly. When they moved, they brought very few fresh vegetables, so they could only freeze them to keep them. These tomatoes were the last stock.

Outside the house, the sky was filled with snow.

In the house, the two of them sat at the dining table and ate hot meals. At least in this small world, this is the happiness of both of them.

However, Chen Xu knew that when the dream ended and entered the countdown, such happiness would not last long.

…………

On the fifteenth day to the end, in my sleep, the glass window in the room suddenly burst out with a bang, and the bitter cold wind blew up with snow particles. The room temperature, which was originally more than ten degrees Celsius, instantly turned into dozens of degrees below zero.

The two people who were awakened were wrapped in quilts and quickly escaped from the room.

When they got outside, they found that all the glass windows in the villa were blown up and none survived. The originally warm little world could not withstand the invasion of the severe cold.

In the end, they could only hide in the cloakroom next to the master bedroom. The two of them wrapped in a quilt, listened to the howling wind outside the house, hugged each other and kept warm.

Chen Xu had already expected the arrival of this day and was not hit. However, he was very worried about Luo Xiyun.

To his surprise, Luo Xiyun in his arms seemed very calm and did not panic. He just hugged him tightly without saying a word.

Slowly, he closed his eyes and stopped thinking about dreams, and no longer thought about the coldness of tens of degrees below zero outside the door.

A goose down quilt isolates them from the outside world, forming a small world.

In this darkness where you can't see your fingers, the two of them are tightly pressed together, listening to each other's heartbeat, feeling each other's breathing, and asking for each other's temperature.

Enjoy this short warmth and tranquility.

…………

After dawn, Chen Xu and the others put on thick cold-proof clothes and sealed all the windows with a whole piece of wooden boards. Except for the floor-to-ceiling window on the living room balcony, there was no such large piece of wooden boards.

Fortunately, there were no windows in the basement, so I escaped. The generator placed here was not affected.

As long as the generator is still usable, the problem is not big. At least, don't worry about being frozen to death.

They spent two days cleaning everything up. However, their lives were still greatly affected. At least, they had to wear thick clothes every time they went out of the living room.

Moreover, Chen Xu clearly felt that the weather was getting colder day by day. The heating effect of heating was getting worse and worse.

After all, this place is in the south, and the temperature in winter rarely reaches below zero. Although this villa uses some insulation materials, it will not take into account the weather of tens of degrees below zero at the beginning of construction.

Luo Xiyun also became more and more silent.

When the countdown entered the tenth day, Chen Xu also thought about it, let go of everything, and thought of nothing, just wanted to enjoy the time with her indulge indulgence.

Only when he asked for it, the reaction became more and more intense. Faced with some of his extraordinary requests, he was not as resistant as he was at the beginning, and he always refused half-rejected and finally followed.

The fifth day to last.

In the morning, Luo Xiyun woke up from Chen Xu's arms like usual, stood up gently, and covered the quilt. After washing up, as usual, she put on a thick defensive suit and opened the door a crack.

She immediately noticed something abnormal. She was very relaxed when she opened the door, and the expected cold wind that poured into the crack of the door did not appear.

Her heart suddenly jumped, she pulled the door open a little, and finally confirmed something.

The wind stopped.

She rushed out of the door, stood in front of the balcony, covered her mouth, and tears rushed out of her eyes.
Chapter completed!
