166 Don’t Look For Trouble Anymore
Du Yue and He Xing worked all the way until night. The two of them took down the furnaces in their bedrooms and put them in Du Yue’s inters.p.a.ce. Other than the furnaces, there was also the wallpaper on the wall, the flooring, and the curtains. They took them all down and put them in Du Yue’s inters.p.a.ce.
Not only were they putting them away for secondary use, but they also wanted to avoid problems if the building collapsed during the earthquake. If someone came to look for them later and found these things, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
In order to avoid any accidents, they had to take advantage of this opportunity to put away everything that should not be there.
At night, there were only two beds left in Du Yue’s room. Yes, there were two beds. Du Yue and He Xing were going to stay in the same room tonight. Although the earthquake happened the next day in her previous life, the two of them decided to stay at Du Yue’s house for the night to avoid any accidents. They would be able to react in time if anything happened.
The two of them had been dating for more than a year. Although this was the first time they were staying in the same room, they did not feel awkward. Fortunately, the earthquake did not happen in advance. The two of them slept until the next morning. Du Yue opened her eyes and saw He Xing lying on his side on the bed next to her, his eyes fixed on her.
Du Yue flashed him a smile. “When did you wake up?”
“Half an hour ago.”
“Then why didn’t you wake me up?”
“I want you to sleep a little longer. You’re very cute when you’re sleeping. You look fair and tender like a big bun.”
The two of them had been together for so long that Du Yue was already used to him saying shocking things at every turn, such as comparing her to some kind of food.
Therefore, Du Yue did not have any special reaction when she heard him say she looked like a big bun. She just sat up on the bed. “In that case, let’s have buns for breakfast!”
The temperature of over ten degrees was very comfortable. After Du Yue and He Xing washed up in their own bathrooms, they sat in Du Yue’s room and had breakfast together. There were chubby meat buns, thick congee with preserved egg and lean meat, tea eggs, and salted vegetables. After breakfast, Du Yue kept the two beds in her inters.p.a.ce. She looked at the empty room and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
“After living here for so long, I’m still not used to suddenly moving everything.” Du Yue and He Xing each carried a mountaineering bag that was half the height of a man and walked out of the house. Du Yue’s car had been left idle for a long time as they always used He Xing’s when they drove out during the freezing weather. Fortunately, she would go down and start the car every once in a while during the freezing weather, so she was not worried that the engine was defective.
After filling up the fuel tank, Du Yue drove the car to the building. He Xing followed closely behind and parked his car below the building. The two cars were parked side by side, and the two of them went up and down a few times before they managed to get everything they needed into the car. Moving everything into the car in advance was also to ensure that their food and clothing would not be affected after the earthquake.
They also did it for the base to see. After all, they could still live a comfortable life even if they left the base empty-handed. Du Yue and He Xing planned to drive off after they had filled their cars with necessities.
Before she could get into the car, Du Yue saw two people walking out of the small building. Du Yue’s eyes swept over the crowd. She was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted. The people who walked out were Wu Di and Zhang Zepeng. For the past year, Du Yue and He Xing rarely went out, so they had not seen the two of them again.
When they met in the corridor previously, the two of them had also been wearing masks, only revealing their eyes. Now that there was nothing covering their faces, Du Yue could not tell who they were at first glance. Wu Di saw Du Yue as well. He looked at her and then at the two cars beside her. He sighed and did not say anything else.
Du Yue only glanced at the two of them before looking away. She and He Xing got into their respective cars and drove away. Wu Di stood rooted to the ground, staring blankly at the back of the car that was gradually driving away. He had mixed feelings in his heart. On the side, Zhang Zepeng saw him like this and could not help but sneer, “Still thinking about her? Don’t even think about it. You two aren’t from the same world. Look at the two of them standing together. They’re a perfect match. What if the two of you were standing together instead? It’ll be like a toad l.u.s.ting after a swan. I advise you to live your own life and stop asking for trouble.”
Zhang Zepeng’s mocking words were clearly heard by Wu Di, but his expression did not change at all.
