012 Misfortune is not a one-way street
"Hmm."
Chen Xu answered, helped Luo Xiyun into the room, and there was a bathroom inside.
He knew that with her character, if she wasn't in a hurry, she would never say this to him. Although he was a little unhappy with her, he didn't want to embarrass her in such a matter.
Drop her off in the bathroom and put her phone on the shelf where the shampoo is stored to serve as a light source. Then, it went out.
After the door of the bathroom was closed, the only light source was lost, and Chen Xu fell into darkness, unable to see with his eyes, and other senses seemed to be magnified, like smell. He now felt himself surrounded by a faint, nice scent.
It was a sweet scent, like the smell he had when he hugged his first girlfriend in a dark alley for the first time in high school.
The sound of wind and rain outside, as if coming from a distant place, gives people an unusually peaceful feeling.
Through the door of the washroom, he could clearly hear another sound of water, and the distractions in his heart spread like weeds.
Suddenly, what Luo Xiyun had said sounded in his mind again.
He rubbed his face vigorously, and lightly felt towards the door, there was no light, it was dark everywhere, and he could only rely on the impression he had just made when he came in, and he felt all the way to the door.
Pulling open the door, the cold rain hit his face, making him shiver. He didn't dare to stay and hurriedly ran back to the next door.
Ten minutes later, Chen Xu, who had changed his clothes, came back wearing a raincoat and carrying a big bag of things.
Now the power is out at the base camp, and I don't know if it's a problem with the generator or a problem with the wiring. Now that the wind is so strong, it is difficult to check it.
Without electricity, it will cause a lot of trouble.
Luo Xiyun was injured again and had difficulty moving. Anyway, at least in this dream world, there are only the two of them left, not to mention supporting each other, and when one party is in trouble, they can't let it go.
"Even if it's out of humanitarianism, you should help."
Thinking so, he walked into the café and took off his raincoat. With a flashlight in one hand and a bag in the other, he walked inside.
He saw the light in the kitchen, and thought to himself that she had been trapped since the morning, and her foot had broken again, and that with such a strong wind, she might have not eaten all the time, and she must have been hungry.
Walking to the door, the beam of the flashlight shone in, shining on Luo Xiyun's body.
She had her back to the doorway, as if she was cutting something, and her injured left foot was lifted off the ground, supported only by her right foot, and she was a little unsteady on her feet. She must have known that he was coming, but she didn't look back, she didn't speak, she just cut things silently.
Only the tuk tuk sound of the kitchen knife hitting the cutting board.
Chen Xu took out a table lamp from the bag, and when he turned it on, the white light illuminated the entire kitchen.
"I'll do it."
He took out a crisper bag containing ingredients from the bag, rolled up his sleeves, walked over, reached out and grabbed the kitchen knife in her hand, and wanted to take it. Who knew that she didn't let go.
From the strength of her grip on the knife, Chen Xu felt a confrontational emotion.
He had a girlfriend before, and it wasn't that he didn't have experience with women, he knew it well. A woman's silence is itself an expression of dissatisfaction.
As for where the point of dissatisfaction is, he often doesn't understand. Sometimes when I understand, I pretend I don't understand.
His ex-girlfriend has complained in front of him more than once, saying that he is a straight man of steel.
Now, Luo Xiyun has nothing to do with him, so he doesn't care even more.
He didn't speak, just added some strength, Luo Xiyun held on for a second, but let go and let him take the kitchen knife.
However, she did not leave, but walked to the kitchen cabinet, took out the dishes and chopsticks and rinsed them.
This kitchen was originally the back kitchen of the café, and the space was large enough, and the two of them would never seem crowded here, and they would do their own thing, and it would not affect it, so Chen Xu didn't stop her.
…………
Ten minutes later, the steaming noodles are out of the pan.
There was a table in the kitchen, Luo Xiyun had already set up the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Xu brought the pot over, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and ate like this.
This is the third time they have sat together to eat, and they are also sitting face to face, through the white mist rising from the noodle soup, Chen Xu can see her face clearly, and he was slightly stunned.
Because of the power outage, it was the first time he had seen her head-on since he picked her up.
She was noticeably thinner. The temperament of the whole person has changed a lot, a little more quiet, and a little weaker.
The environment can really change a person.
He sighed in his heart.
Actually, he himself is not. Knowing that it was just a dream, he was completely in the mood of a vacation, but after a few months here, he also felt that something had changed about himself.
Of course, this change is not a bad thing. At the very least, he became more patient.
And now Luo Xiyun looks much more pleasing to the eye.
Both were hungry, ate attentively, and quickly. After a while, all the pots of noodles were eaten, and there was not even soup left.
After eating, Chen Xu picked up the pots and bowls and took them to wash.
He was used to running water, and after coming to the dreamland, the waterworks stopped working, and the running water was naturally gone. So, he built a cistern of his own water to use as a source of water.
The cistern was only pumped to its capacity yesterday, enough for a few days.
After he finished washing, he put the bowl back in the sterilization cabinet, and suddenly found one thing, there are many things here, there are two of them, the bowl is a pair, there are two pairs of chopsticks, spoon, cup...... Even the chairs next to the dining table are two.
He thought to himself, "OCD is terrible, but fortunately I didn't live with her." ”
He doesn't feel like a sloppy person, he cleans his room once a week, washes off his changed clothes every day, and tries to keep his room as tidy as possible.
But that's it.
If he was allowed to clean spotlessly every day, and everything was neatly arranged, he felt that he would not be able to stand it.
And Luo Xiyun is undoubtedly a person with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, which can be seen from the vegetable garden outside the door that looks like a garden.
After he had packed up all his things, Luo Xiyun had already gone back to the house first, he picked up the bag and the lamp, came to the closed door, knocked twice, and said, "Let me see your feet." ”
There was no response in the room, and just when he thought Luo Xiyun hadn't heard, her cold voice came from inside, "No need." ”
Chen Xu couldn't help frowning, pulled the doorknob, twisted it, but it was not locked, he opened the door and walked in, "I'll take a look." ”
She sat on the bed, her hands on her knees, her long hair draped down, and when she saw him come in, she turned her face away and said stiffly, "I don't want you to care." ”
