Chapter 53 - 53

Chapter 53 The Arrival of Extreme Cold 2Lin Xiuxiu had no choice but to compromise. Actually, she felt a little nervous about going out alone with someone, and having someone with her would make things a little easier."Okay! Then I won't force you to come along. But I'll tell you everything that happened when I get back, and you can give me some advice. This is my first time dating.""Okay, just tell me when you get back!" Su Xiaoyu felt a bit thirsty, so she had to lift the covers, take out a bottle of Sprite from under the bed, twist it open and take a sip, then gave it toLin Xiuxiu to drink.During this time, they had developed a very good rapport.Lin Xiuxiu took another big gulp, then put the lid back on and placed it on the table. She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already past 10 PM. If she didn't sleep well, she'd have dark circles under her eyes the next day, which wouldn't look good, so she turned off the tablet."Xiaoyu, I'm going to sleep now. Tell me quickly what you want to eat tomorrow morning."Su Xiaoyu swallowed the potato chips in her mouth. "Eat wontons. Make me a few wontons and cook noodles for them too. I'll cook some for them as well!""Okay!" Lin Xiuxiu had already closed her eyes and gone to sleep.Seeing that she was asleep, Su Xiaoyu wiped her hands with a tissue and went to sleep too, because it was too cold, and lying together would keep them warmer. So they decided to sleep together without any problems at first.Both of them had good sleeping postures and could basically sleep through the night.After delivering the items to Orphanage that day, I never had those bizarre dreams again.I don't know how they are doing now. This is all I can do to help them. They can only rely on themselves to survive in a year of natural disasters....After eating chicken wontons in the morning, Su Xiaoyu felt fully recharged and ate two bowls in a row.Lin Xiuxiu took out two down jackets, one red and one blue.Which one do you think looks better?"Red! It's festive!" Su Xiaoyu gave an affirmative answer.Lin Xiuxiu did as instructed and put on the red down jacket. She then looked in the mirror and thought it looked quite nice. She opened the closet, took out a white scarf, and put it around her neck, feeling it was alright.Su Xiaoyu watched with a smile. Women in love are different; they look so happy.Not long after that.Jin Jun came looking for someone, and they went out together. They seemed to be a good match.Su Xiaoyu felt the room was a bit quiet. Usually,when Lin Xiuxiu was home, she would chatter away like a little sparrow.Even when watching TV series, they keep talking. I couldn't stand watching TV series on the tablet, so I simply closed it and stopped watching.There were cookies on the plate, made by Lin Xiuxiu. They just had some eggs in them, and while Lin Xiuxiu was in the bathroom, Lin Xiuxiu added some milk.The cookies she made had a milky flavor, whichsurprised Lin Xiuxiu and made her feel that her cooking skills had improved again.I had just taken a bite of a cookie when there was a knock on the door.She went to the door and opened it.I saw Gu Lingxiao standing at the door, wearing a thick down jacket, a hat, leather gloves, and non-slip leather boots.Although he was wearing a lot of clothes, it didn't affect his figure at all; in fact, he looked even better than before.When I was choosing this down jacket, I looked at the mannequin in the store and thought it would look good on a man.As expected, my judgment was correct."What are you looking at?" Gu Lingxiao asked with a smile." Brother Xiao, you look really handsome in this sporty down jacket," Su Xiaoyu replied."Really? I think it's alright. This outfit is quite comfortable. Don't you have one too? Let's find it and wear it together when we go out," Gu Lingxiao said casually.Su Xiaoyu really wanted to compare and see who was dressed best, so she let him into the house and sit on the sofa, while she went back to her bedroom.I took out the same style of down jacket and chose black.It's just that my size is one size smaller than his. He's wearing a size that I definitely can't fit into, so I shouldn't humiliate myself.After changing, she looked in the mirror and felt that she would look really good in boots. So she found some boots, but they were slightly different from the ones he was wearing. You wouldn't notice unless you looked closely.After putting it on, I picked out a hat from the closet to cover my head. When I went out, I took the hood off the down jacket so my head wouldn't get cold.Thinking of the cold wind outside, I took two thick masks, one for him and one for myself.Back in the living room.Seeing that Gu Lingxiao was watching a variety show on his tablet, and that something funny was happening, he laughed along with her.It turns out that even aloof people can smile; they just don't usually smile." Brother Xiao, I brought two masks, you can choose one!"Gu Lingxiao casually picked up the black one and put it on.Su Xiaoyu looked at the gray mask in her hand, and decisively put it on as well, before following him out the door.Even with full protective gear, I didn't feel cold when the wind blew through the corridor.They walked down the stairs from the 18th floor for about 10 minutes before finally getting out of the building.A cold wind blew in my face. A good down jacket is nice, but my legs felt a bit cold.Where are we going?"I'll take you out for a walk. In a few days, we might not be able to leave this room." Gu Lingxiao held her hand as he spoke. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with holding his younger brother's hand, but he was worried that she might accidentally fall.Su Xiaoyu felt that the man's hands were so big,much bigger than when Lin Xiuxiu was in her teens, which made her feel more secure.Since we're out for a stroll, let's just keep walking along the road.The water on the ground was all frozen into ice, and because some areas had more ice than others, the ground became uneven and pitted.Be careful when you walk, or you might fall. I almost fell just now, but the man caught me around the waist. I'll be more careful walking from now on.They followed the road all the way to the main road and saw the group of people bartering.Not everyone chooses to go to the base; even with so many people going there, not everyone is guaranteed to survive.Having supplies meant they might survive the cold – that was the thought in their minds, and they believed the extreme cold would eventually pass.Tens of thousands of miles away in the Western Sea, a cold front swept in like a thick fog, and the ice on the sea surface quickly froze.There was no one around, and the fog grew thicker and thicker, soon engulfing the nearest city.People who went outside were frozen solid, remaining in their original poses...The cars and animals were all frozen solid.As for the people inside the house, those who were lucky enough to escape were also frostbitten. The fog tightly enveloped the entire city and then spread to the surrounding cities.As the distance increased, the temperature of this cold air mass gradually dropped, though not enough to freeze people into ice sculptures overnight.But it's enough to freeze a person in place for half a day, making them unable to move.
