My Exclusive Dream World Adventures - Chapter 27: An Unknown Feeling

After Luo Xiyun entered the bathroom, Chen Xu began wearing his clothes and folded the quilt in an offhand manner.

“Hm?”

All of a sudden, on top of the sky-blue quilt he saw a patch of color and couldn’t help but feel a little strange.

“That can’t be…”

His heart suddenly throbbed as he thought of a possibility. As he stared at the stain, the more he was certain of his guess.

Was yesterday night…?

Doesn’t she have a boyfriend?

He was struck by disbelief.

The color of the stain was too light. Initially, he never thought of that as a possibility. But under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t have been colored. Aside from that, there was no other possibility.

Pondering about it, he walked to the trash can…

It was as expected.

An indescribable feeling welled up within her heart.

……

…

In a while, Luo Xiyun came out after a shower. Noticing that Chen Xu wasn’t in the room, she wanted to go out and look for him. Suddenly, after having a glance at the bedsheet, a gush of heat streamed up to her face. She quickly grabbed the old sheets, took out a set of new sheets from the cabinet, and unfolded them on the bed.

As soon as she was done doing that, she saw Chen Xu coming in with a bowl while saying, “I made breakfast. Eat while it’s hot.”

Luo Xiyun got a look at it. There were red dates and wolfberries in the porridge. She felt a little strange, “Aren’t you not really fond of sweetness?”

“I made this especially for you.” Chen Xu got to the bedside, lifted the bowl, ladled out a spoonful of porridge, and brought it to her mouth.

Luo Xiyun was a little uncomfortable with his sudden enthusiasm. She blocked his hands and said, “I can do it myself.”

Chen Xu didn’t insist on it. He stuffed the bowl and spoon into her hand and said, “Eat any many as you want; there’s still a lot in the pot. I’ll get you another bowl after you finish this one.”

“You should eat too,” Luo Xiyun said to him, feeling a little heat in her face when she saw that he was staring right at her.

“Okay.” Chen Xu picked up the bowl and began eating.

After breakfast, Chen Xu came back after doing the dishes. Noticing that she was wearing a frown and a worried look, he sat down next to her and asked, “What happened? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

“No… I…” Luo Xiyun bit her lip as she was about to speak. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him. She whispered, “U… u-uhm… w-what if I got pregnant? W-what should I do?”

Chen Xu had never seen her look so shy and timid. It completely subverted his impression of her. The disparity that ensued got his heart itching. He moved his mouth close to her ear and said, “If you really got pregnant, just have the baby.”

Luo Xiyun felt awfully embarrassed and pushed him away, “Why are you still speaking nonsense?”

Noticing that she was truly a little on her nerves, he didn’t trigger her any further. He consoled to her, “Relax, you are now in your safe period. You won’t get pregnant.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Luo Xiyun staring at him with a strange look. Feeling a little guilty from it, he asked, “Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say anything wrong?”

She said in a peculiar tone, “How did you know?”

“Know what?”

“My safe period.”

It was only then that Chen Xu felt something click. It was this that compelled her into making that strange look. He didn’t know how to answer for a while. Indeed, a man taking note of a woman’s menstruation cycle without them being a pair was strange enough.

Luo Xiyun said while gritting her teeth, “You are really a big a*s pervert.”

Her face was smeared with a coat of blush, and her eyes were drizzled behind a blanket of mist. She was talking in a nasal tone. The words that came from her mouth, which were clearly meant for reprimanding, were, however, full of pathos, and that got Chen Xu’s heart wavering for a moment.

He said with a smirk, “Then, how do you feel about rolling in the sheets with a big a*s pervert?”

Luo Xiyun’s face was flushing red. She forcefully pushed him away and said viciously, “Disgusting.”

Chen Xu cackled. He didn’t tease her again, choosing to quit while he’s ahead lest she get even more pissed off. In the end, she would still have to expend her breath on him.

…

The relationship between the two welcomed some drastic progression. In the following days, they began living together for real.

As the days passed, the snowstorm outside was seemingly getting stronger.

On the fifth day, Chen Xu finally made up his mind. He took Luo Xiyun with him on a trip to bring back some gasoline.

He had a hunch that, as the end of the dream loomed nearer, the weather would become increasingly harsh. If they did not go out now, there wouldn’t be another chance for it.

Presently, the snow on the ground outside was already half a meter thick. There was no way to drive out on a car. Hence, he spent another two days to prepare and set off officially only until the seventh day.

On the day of their departure, Chen Xu was driving a shovel loader in front to shovel off the snow, while Luo Xiyun followed behind on a large truck. What they were lacking now was gasoline, but they did have a lot of diesel in the storage. This time, they installed half a carriage of diesel inside the truck.

As a result, they would naturally be moving really slowly.

They dared not to rest halfway for fear of the vehicles breaking down. If that happened, it would really be the end of them.

It took them a whole ten hours’ time to get through the frozen plains and to the building area that Chen Xu had come the last time. Swiftly, they found the first gas station.

Having driven for so long, both of them were worn out, and they decided to take a night off and leave everything else for tomorrow. They found a building with a wide enough entrance nearby and drove in both the shovel loader and the truck.

This was originally a shop selling tiles. Its door was initially locked, but Chen Xu forcibly pried the door open. The area inside was large enough. He shoved the display tiles in the shop aside with the shovel loader, thus making enough space for the two vehicles.

Subsequently, Chen Xu got a small stove meant for picnicking in the vehicle and cooked a pot of noodles. The two gathered around the pot and slurped the noodles until it was empty.

Chen Xu only felt alive after eating the noodles. He was almost frozen stiff as there was no heating on the shovel loader.

After resting for a while, he started a bonfire at the corner and set up the text next to it.

“When will the snow actually stop?”

After a hectic day, the two sat in front of the bonfire to warm themselves up. Luo Xiyun held her hands around her knees and gazed at the fire, seemingly muttering to herself.

Chen Xu looked at her face, reflecting on the redness of the flames, and said gently, “It shouldn’t be much longer.”

Luo Xiyun turned her head and looked at him. “What if it is?”

For a while, Chen Xu didn’t know how to answer her question because he knew that this snow would perhaps really go on and on without stopping.
