Encounter the Ice Age

I forgot how long Chen Yang's shadow was around Zhaoqing, but now Chen Yang has officially entered his life everywhere.

At this moment, Zhaoqing was pushed out of the kitchen just after eating,

Zhaoqing hugged the sofa pillow and pretended to watch TV, but looked across the dining room at Chen Yang who was walking back and forth in the kitchen.He watched Chen Yang clean up the dining table consciously, and saw Chen Yang skillfully drain the washed dishes in the sink.

Chen Yang was very sensitive to other people's gaze, just when he turned his head, he happened to see Zhao Qing's staggered eyes that were trying to hide it.

Chen Yang thought Zhaoqing's reaction was very interesting, turned around and took out a glass of juice from the refrigerator, walked over to pass it to Zhaoqing, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside Zhaoqing.

"Thank you," Zhaoqing said, reaching out to take the juice.

While cooking, Zhaoqing found that there were a lot of ingredients in their refrigerator that did not belong to his family’s eating habits, including cola, beer, various fruit juices, and a whole steak that had not been modified.

There are still many stubborn health-preserving concepts in Zhaoqing's mind, which are very boring, and he rarely drinks carbonated soda and brewed drinks.I keep drinking milk every day, from a cup in the morning and evening before the age of 20 to now drinking a cup before going to bed at night.

Zhaoqing is also used to sorting the freshly bought ingredients according to the quantity to facilitate future cooking, so the refrigerator in their home looks neat and tidy every day, and this slightly messy appearance rarely appears.

The two had different thoughts, sitting side by side on the sofa watching the news broadcast on TV.Zhao Qing couldn't help but glanced at Chen Yang's direction from the corner of his eye, and said in his heart: He and Chen Yang are now like the Connor couple in the past, sitting together and looking in one direction, there is another person in the family It felt amazing.

The atmosphere is good, but the content broadcast by the anchor in the news is very unsightly.

Zhaoqing and Chen Yang's attention could not help being attracted by the news, and the brows of the two could not help but frown following the pictures on the TV.

Chen Yang glanced at the window washed by the rain, and said: "The weather is getting more and more abnormal..., Ah Qing, did it rain like this in Seattle a few years ago?"

"Although the rainy season is not short in previous years, there have been too many torrential rains in the past two years, and the winter has also been long and cold." Zhaoqing said that there was a flash outside.

"It's going to thunder again." As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, the rumbling sound seemed to explode in his ears.

Zhaoqing grabbed the pillow and pressed it against her bosom, then sank into the sofa again, saying, "Oh, what a day."

Chen Yang: "Frequent thunderstorms caused small-scale fires and power outages to occur one after another. The fire department was short of manpower and we had to provide support. I really can't figure out why I have to stay in the city. What's so good here? .”

Zhaoqing found that Chen Yang had been holding a rare mobile phone since yesterday, Zhaoqing thought it was a satellite phone in their office.

"Who insisted on letting you stay in the city?" Zhaoqing was not curious and just wanted to continue the conversation, but felt that it was too private and awkward to ask.

"Those who think too much," Chen Yang rubbed the back of his neck, worried about those who were still wandering outside, but said, "Eat salty carrots and don't worry about them. They always think about what will happen more than ten years later. I wish I could Get ready for everything."

The embarrassment eased, Zhaoqing: "You still know this common saying."

Chen Yang: "I have lived in the Chinese district longer than you, of course I know."

Zhao Qing thought that it was impossible to outlive him, but she asked naturally, "What happened to the shooting?"

"What else can you do? The dead can't be brought back to life, and those who are being rescued are still in intensive care, and even minor injuries will take at least a week in the hospital." Chen Yang said with contempt in his words, "If you can't stop shooting in a garbage place, just open up a lot of it. , at any rate, it must be fair."

The more Zhaoqing talked, the more he found that Chen Yang's views were very radical.Zhao Qing didn't know how to answer these words, so his eyes followed the satellite phone in Chen Yang's hand.

The satellite phone didn't ring, but the phone in Chen Yang's pocket kept buzzing, and there were constant text messages coming in while it was ringing.

Chen Yang glanced at the phone screen without even opening the text message, and directly slid to the cross on the notification display to turn off all notifications, and threw the phone into his pocket. This situation went on and on for quite a while.

Zhaoqing hesitated for a while and said: "You... go to work if you have something to do, don't let people rush you."

Chen Yang didn't speak, and looked sideways at Zhao Qing's face under the light reflected from the TV screen.He felt very sorry for Zhao Qing, he chose to disguise himself as an insurance policy for those people and enter the city to return to the society. Up to now, all the fakes have inevitably become real, and he has his own in this society. Colleagues, friends, and lovers you want.

But Chen Yang knew that all of this was just a disguise.He's like a wolf in sheep's clothing.And the clean-eyed young man in front of him was ignorantly reminding him to go to work and fulfill social responsibilities that he didn't care about at all.

Chen Yang sometimes thought, what would he do if everything was exposed and he had to leave this city, or even this country?He hasn't thought of the answer to this question yet, the only certainty is that no matter what happens, he will never give up on Zhao Qing.Some people are like wolves who decide that a mate has to lead them back to their den even by biting the other's neck.

Chen Yang: "Just sit for a while longer." Instead of letting him go out and pretend to be upright, he would rather stay here with Zhaoqing, to redeem the inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart. .

Zhao Qing was afraid that Chen Yang would delay his business, so he said, "Go ahead, there will be time later..." What would you do if you had time?He spoke halfway and didn't know what to answer, so he closed his mouth silently.

Chen Yang's cell phone rang again, and even the walkie-talkie hanging in the police uniform jacket in the entrance began to buzz.

Zhaoqing still couldn't hold back, and said, "Maybe I need you urgently, I...I don't have anything else to do, I'll be at home. Don't...don't worry about me."

"Well, anyway, we have a lot of time in the future," Chen Yang said and stood up.Half unhappy and half helpless, since he chooses to enter this society, he must obey the requirements of this society.I used to be able to withdraw at any time if I didn't get along well in any scene.Even if he loses his role as a safety lock, their group of people may not have a bad life.But now if he wants to deceive a person he really wants, he can't lose his social identity.

Chen Yang walked to the entrance and found that the police uniform he had thrown on the ground had been wiped dry, and the gun holster was neatly hung on the hooks.

Zhao Qing followed to the entrance and wanted to say something, but as soon as he stood still, he was attracted by a not-so-deep dimple on the side of Chen Yang's face, and almost forgot what he wanted to say.

Chen Yangwai put on a police cap, put on a gun holster and carried his coat, and said, "Go back."

Zhaoqing saw Chen Yang open the door, and called, "Chen Yang."

"What? What's the matter? Do you need to bring anything back?" Chen Yang looked at Zhaoqing with his hands in the front pockets of his sweater, who looked nervous and stood abnormally straight.

"I," Zhaoqing felt his fingertips touched the uneven stitches in the pocket, pursed his lips as if he had made up his mind and said, "I will tell you the exact answer in a month, okay?"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment and suddenly saw the end of this pursuit, and asked: "Reject me?" He heard Zhaoqing say many things of rejection, and saw Zhaoqing's back many times as if he was running for his life.

If Chen Yang hadn't discovered that Zhao Qing had a limit of alienation from everyone around him, if he hadn't identified Zhao Qing as his choice... two years is not a good time for someone like him who lacks patience In no time, he was almost moved by himself. .

"m..." Zhaoqing subconsciously wanted to deny it, but fortunately he braked the brakes in his mouth in time and only uttered a single note, saying, "You...can you wait a little bit? I...I..." He looked back as he spoke. In the house left by the Conners, the old couple smiled kindly on the photo wall on the porch.

Chen Yang knew the answer, Zhaoqing needed time to express his grief, and he already had a certain identity that was about to be established.He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said, "Okay, it's only been a month...you lock the door."

When Chen Yang spoke, he couldn't hold back and reached out to hold Zhaoqing's wrist. He looked deeply at Zhaoqing for a long time before withdrawing his hand to close the door and leave.

Seeing the door being closed tightly, Zhaoqing let out a long breath, the warmth of another person still remained on his wrist.When he turned back to the room, he heard Chen Yang's cheers outside the door, his footsteps froze again, and then Zhaoqing smiled unconsciously

According to Huaxia, today is Mrs. Connor's first seven days. If his mother returns at night, she should be very pleased to see that he is willing to take a step forward.

Therefore, Zhaoqing took a small step forward.

In fact, these are all strange and meaningless excuses, until Yu Zhaoqing said these words, he hadn't thought of anything.

In the twinkling of an eye, November and a half passed the October that Mrs. Connor left.

Zhaoqing resumed the daily rhythm of going to school to teach, and Chen Yang still lived in Zhaoqing's house.

Zhao Qing's commuting time is regular and Chen Yang always deviates from each other, and there are not many opportunities to meet each other in daily life. Having dinner together is considered a luxury date, and occasionally they will have a hasty breakfast together.

The sudden situation kept Chen Yang very busy. The subway was flooded because the water was not released in time;

Chen Yang has no feelings for the society and has to patrol outside every day to deal with emergencies. His whole body is as dark circles as boiled eagles, almost catching up with Zhaoqing a while ago.

However, Chen Yang was in good spirits whenever there was a happy event, he and Zhao Qing were just a layer away from being pierced through the window paper, and they got along politely and ambiguously.

The natural gas at Zhaoqing’s house also stopped many times in the past two days. When he was free at home, he made a lot of sandwiches and burritos, wrapped them in tin foil and put them in the refrigerator. He also drained a few small mineral water bottles for fresh Squeezed juice replaced the brewed juice that Chen Yang bought.

The next day, Zhaoqing would always find that there was a portion missing from the instant food and juice he had prepared in the refrigerator.He said to himself that he was only there to take care of the 'people's servant'.

Zhaoqing is very happy that the bento she made "casually" was accepted by the "people's servant".

One day at the end of November, when Zhaoqing was cooking, he found that the tap water was yellow, and the water was still cloudy and unusable after the tap had been turned on for a long time.

Zhaoqing could only get a basin of well water from the small world to cook. His mind was full of thoughts, no matter how he thought about it, he felt uneasy, so he simply picked up the car keys and went out to the supermarket.

The supermarket is noisy and chaotic.Roll paper and tissue products are sold out.He watched those people who went shopping in the mineral water area turn to the seasoning area and small food area where there were relatively few people. He bought a lot of salt, sugar, and chocolate and piled them up on the trolley, with a slight gap nothing.

Zhaoqing's cell phone rang when she was about to pay the bill.

No matter how busy Chen Yang is every day, he will find a way to find time to go home for dinner. If there is no other way, he will call Zhao Qing in advance.Recently, Chen Yang would call Zhaoqing every time before going home to ask if he needed anything to bring home.

The weather is so bad that everyone is reducing the number of times they go out.

Zhaoqing said to the phone: "Huh? I'm in the supermarket...yes, the water is gone. Yes, it's very mixed up. I wanted to buy some mineral water....um, yes...I drove...huh? The road conditions are okay...I It's driving very slowly. Then you leave the car at the police station?...It's fine, just come here."

After a brief communication, Zhaoqing put down the phone and left the checkout line, standing to one side and staring at the entrance of the supermarket in a daze.Xin said: It would be difficult for him to carry so many things by himself, and it would be good to have multiple helpers.

When Chen Yang entered the supermarket, Zhao Qing saw him for the first time. Chen Yang was tall and wearing a uniform, and he stood out from the crowd. Instead, Chen Yang looked around to see Zhao Qing in the corner.

The two waved their hands from a distance, and Zhaoqing watched Chen Yang step by step break through the crowd and come to his side.

Chen Yang looked at Zhaoqing's cart and said, "You bought so many seasonings and candies?"

Zhaoqing scratched the back of his head, and said, "It won't spoil if left alone." He didn't have any plans for the purchase of ingredients, and he bought whatever he thought of, which proves that there is no expiration date in his world.

Chen Yang glanced at Zhaoqing, and said following Zhaoqing's words: "...that's fine, how about buying some mineral water?"

Zhaoqing: "Water is not particularly scarce."

"Didn't you say that the water released from the house is mixed and can't be used?" Chen Yang said with a smile, the young man in front of him was extremely cute in his eyes, his little tail was always showing outside but he didn't know it.He may have seen some clues, but he can't be sure for the time being. His mind is small, and he can only hold one person for some reason.

"Ah? Yes! Oh, the water is... lacking, but... there is still some water for the time being, so... why don't you buy some...?" Zhao Qing felt that what he said was quite serious... right?

Chen Yang suppressed his smile and stopped teasing Zhaoqing. In his eyes, some braids could not be exposed elsewhere, and there was no need to expose many things too early.

Chen Yang stretched out his hand and grabbed an empty trolley, and the two squeezed into the drinking water area to move two boxes of water from the top where people couldn't touch it.

Because Zhaoqing was by his side, Chen Yang put the water he had brought down in their carts when he saw old people beside him, and he selflessly served two or three carts before satisfying his own needs.

Zhaoqing: "What else do you want to buy? Buy some seaweed, biscuits and beef jerky, okay?"

Due to the weather, the fresh market is not open normally. They need more nutrition, and they always need a lot of food to live.

Zhaoqing panicked even more when she heard this, as if she had been starved for a long time, and even the slightest worry about the possibility of being hungry was magnified infinitely.Since a week or two ago, he started to come to the supermarket to buy things on a daily basis, and he has become more proficient in driving skills.

Perhaps it should be said in another way, Zhaoqing has been hoarding things since she became independent financially.

"Okay, you can buy it if you say so." Chen Yang looked at Zhaoqing's pale face and said to cater to Zhaoqing's needs: "Buy some more canned luncheon meat? Buy some milk powder."

Zhaoqing nodded, he felt that Chen Yang was like a speed recorder in his mind that knew everything.The two tossed and tossed for more than three hours before arriving home, and it took three more divisions before moving all the stored food into the house.

As soon as he entered the room and left his things on the ground, Zhaoqing sat on the sofa with Chen Yang, tapping his sore arms, thinking that after Chen Yang went to work tomorrow, he was moving all his things into the warehouse of Small World.The warehouse of his small world is large enough and vacuumed so that the ingredients will not be damaged.

Zhaoqing looked sideways at Chen Yang and asked, "Aren't you on duty at night?"

Chen Yang: "No, I haven't had a full sleep for almost a month. They must let us go home and take a good bath. Tonight, half of the people will go home to rest. I will never answer the phone if I have something to do! Absolutely!"

Zhao Qing was amused by such a 'firm-willed' Chen Yang, and said, "I'm sorry, I went out temporarily to do some shopping and didn't cook."

"What's the matter?" Chen Yang stood up and walked directly over the coffee table to the kitchen, glanced at the refrigerator and said, "...and microwave the pizza, OK?"

"OK." Zhaoqing followed and prepared to pack the fresh ingredients into the refrigerator.

"The water is too heavy, I'll make it..." Chen Yang saw Zhao Qing piled up two boxes of water and shouted.

Zhaoqing made no objection, two boxes of water were no problem for his strength.Of course, he also thinks that there are few people who can carry four boxes of water at once like Chen Yang, and those who can still comfortably hang two large bags on their wrists.

Zhaoqing thought that everything he bought today was in the cabinets except water, so he simply sealed the boxes with tape and moved them to the basement as before.

After only two walks, Chen Yang followed with his things in his arms, and said, "I put the two boxes of water in the kitchen, and the others in the basement. Ok?"

Zhaoqing: "Okay."

"You really look like a hamster." Chen Yang looked at the basement full of piles of boxes, and the attic for the same reason. He naturally knew it well from living here every day.

"Uh..." Zhaoqing really didn't know how to answer this question.

Chen Yang thought it was very interesting to see Zhaoqing like this, but he didn't want to make it too funny, he said: "Anyway, these things have a long shelf life, and we don't need to buy them when the weather is better..."

Zhaoqing heaved a sigh of relief and immediately nodded, "That's right!" Chen Yang could always find a good reason for him, but this conversation was still very dangerous, Zhaoqing wanted to leave and go back upstairs.

It didn't work out as expected, the basement space was very small, and Chen Yang blocked Zhao Qing, the goalkeeper when he came, to stop him.

The light was too dim and the distance was too close, Zhaoqing felt a little palpitation and turned her body to go out but was grabbed by the arm.He didn't dare to look at Chen Yang, and asked quietly: "Eat... eat?"

"Do you know that there are only three days left before a month?" Chen Yang hit a straight ball.

"Ah? Oh," Zhaoqing was stunned, and blurted out: "A natural month is still 31 days?"

Chen Yang laughed when he heard this, the basement space was too small, the echo echoed in Zhaoqing's ears like a reverberation.

Knowing that he asked a very stupid question, Zhaoqing stretched out his hand with a blushing face and pulled Chen Yang's hand from his arm, trying to escape.

Chen Yang took a step forward, completely blocked Zhaoqing's way out and said, "It's a natural month to follow the international, there are still three days, you know?"

The shelf in the basement was too low, Chen Yang couldn't lift his head, he curled up slightly as if holding Zhaoqing in his arms.Such a distance and atmosphere made him unbearable, and then asked: "Have you thought about it?"

"No... no, isn't there three more days?" Zhao Qing didn't know why he stuttered.

Chen Yang said with a suppressed smile: "Yes, there are three days left, I will remind you." After speaking, he let go of his hand to let out of the stair passage, and Zhaoqing passed by as if to run away.

The stairs in the basement are very steep. Zhaoqing walked in front and felt Chen Yang's hand brushing against his waist, which made him feel that the steps under his feet felt like cotton, and he returned upstairs step by step. .
