346 A Week-Long Sandstorm
While He Xing was ma.s.saging, Du Yue silently recorded his movements and strength in her heart. Although she could not guarantee that she would remember them all, it was not a problem to remember the general movements. After He Xing finished ma.s.saging her, she asked He Xing to lie down with his back facing her and used the same method she had just learned to ma.s.sage him.
Although He Xing praised her for her good ma.s.sage, Du Yue knew very well that she was far inferior to He Xing in terms of technique and strength. “Although I can’t compare to you, it’s fine as long as I can make you feel comfortable, even if it’s just a little bit.”
He Xing turned around and hugged Du Yue in his arms. “Your intention is priceless. No matter how skilled you are, it can’t compare to your sincerity!”
Du Yue smiled when she heard that. He Xing was becoming more and more of a sweet-talker.
Lying in He Xing’s arms and listening to the sound of the sand hitting the movable boards outside, Du Yue’s mood was not as depressed as before. Too many changes had happened in this life. She had experienced natural disasters, tsunamis, sandstorms, and insect disasters that she had never experienced in her previous life. Du Yue still remembered the surprise and worry she felt when she first encountered the insect disaster. Now that she had encountered more and more unexpected disasters, she felt that it was no longer strange.
Those who could survive until now would not be defeated by a sudden disaster! After the initial panic of the disaster, people would quickly calm down and think about how to face the new disaster and how to survive better. Since Young Master w.a.n.g and the others were in the restaurant, they only had a simple bite for lunch. At night, Du Yue and He Xing decided to have a good meal.
They did not have to worry about sudden visitors in this weather. The two of them immediately decided to eat barbecue in their room tonight. Meat was a good thing. The taste and texture of meat when it was cooked using different cooking methods were different. They did not eat roasted meat often, but they had to admit that roasted meat was more fragrant than meat cooked using other cooking methods. At the end of the meal, the two of them cracked an egg on the grill and made fried rice. The two of them were satisfied with the meal.
Being trapped in the sandstorm was not a bad thing for Du Yue and He Xing. At least the two of them could close the doors and windows and enjoy some delicacies that were usually inconvenient to eat at home. After getting up and washing up in the morning, the two of them began to train on an empty stomach and sparred with each other. They had a sumptuous lunch, and in the afternoon, the two of them went about their own business. They watched variety shows, cooked, wrote, and drew.
Du Yue found a game console in her s.p.a.ce. After dinner, the two of them could play games together.
Their room was very small, but the two of them could do many things together. They would not find it boring at all. The only downside was that they had to use cat litter when they wanted to use the toilet again. There was a toilet in Sunshine Courtyard. It was an ordinary dry toilet. However, because of the sandstorm, Du Yue could not go out. She specially took a tent with better sealing properties and placed it in a corner of the living room. The temporary toilet was set up there.
Fortunately, there was enough cat litter, and it usually did not smell much. Du Yue and He Xing were in the bedroom most of the time, so they did not feel that it was inconvenient. Du Yue even specifically asked Yu Xinya how they solved the problem of going to the toilet. Yu Xinya said that they wore raincoats and went out to shovel the sand that had acc.u.mulated in the open s.p.a.ce because of the sandstorm. After hearing this, Du Yue could not help but praise her. As expected, the wisdom of humans was endless. They thought of a solution so quickly.
In the blink of an eye, almost a week had pa.s.sed. Du Yue and He Xing could still stay still, but Yu Xinya could not. She was not in a hurry for anything else, but there were too many people in the small building. It was really inconvenient to not be able to go out. She was in a hurry to buy movable boards from Wu Yan. “If the storm doesn’t subside tomorrow, I’ll have to go out even if I have to withstand the sandstorm.” Hearing Yu Xinya’s helpless voice coming from the walkie-talkie, Du Yue also fell silent.
Although it was a little difficult, they could not just endure it. Since Yu Xinya had decided, then she could only wish them all the best.
The next morning, the first thing Du Yue did after getting up was to take a periscope to the living room and look outside. The sky was still filled with yellow sand. The sandstorm that had lasted for a week did not show any signs of abating. “Will this sandstorm last a year and a half like the extremely cold and hot weather?” Du Yue asked gloomily.
