Chapter 1063: Chapter 1045: She Doesn’t Want This Kind of Experience Chapter 1063: Chapter 1045: She Doesn’t Want This Kind of Experience Tang Yuxin exhaled a heavy breath before finally stepping into the kitchen.
Her heart soured inexplicably at the sight of the small pot on the stove.
She knew that Gu Ning always used hot water for her needs and gave her hot water to drink, yet he constantly used cold water himself, fearing that the gas wouldn’t be enough for both of them.
He never used hot water; all the heated water was for her.
Slapping her face gently, Tang Yuxin tried to clear her mind.
She opened the cabinet next to her and found a half bag of flour.
Scooping some out, she prepared to make steamed twisted rolls.
...
The small pot in the kitchen could steam about a dozen at a time, which would be enough for the two of them for several days.
Actually, there were instant noodles at home, but Tang Yuxin had no plans to eat them yet.
Those could last a while, and they could eat them anytime.
But if they didn’t eat the rice and flour now, would they have to eat them raw when the gas ran out?
So while they still had gas, she made extra.
She steamed a basket of twisted rolls, stir-fried some potato shreds, and fried an egg.
That was all they had left to eat.
The meat and other things in the fridge had gone bad a long time ago.
Gu Ning had bought quite a lot of potatoes, and there were still several left.
Cutting half a potato a day was enough for them.
Once the twisted rolls were steamed and the rice was cooked, she made fried rice with egg.
They would eat some now and some in the evening, getting through the day.
She brought the dishes to the small table in the conservatory.
Gu Ning had also washed and hung the clothes on the balcony, which, even after washing, wouldn’t dry quickly.
Fortunately, she had bought plenty of clothes before, and there were several sets she hadn’t worn yet.
By the time they had worn those out, hopefully, the washed clothes would have dried.
Gu Ning then patted Tang Yuxin’s head again.
“You hit my face,” Tang Yuxin pulled off the blanket, annoyed, grabbed Gu Ning’s arm, and bit down on it.
Who ever heard of comforting someone by hitting them in the face?
Gu Ning let her bite, to him she was like a little puppy without any strong teeth, and obviously, she couldn’t really hurt him.
Go to sleep, Gu Ning also lay down; this vacation was turning out to be a complete mess, but thankfully, it was safe if not smooth.
Tang Yuxin was feeling sleepy too.
There were no lights now, no way to look at her phone, computer, or watch television, and it was raining heavily outside.
Apart from sleeping, there really wasn’t anything to do.
And these few days had brought her the most sleep she had for a while, yet they were also the most troubling.
The good thing was that when she said sleep, she would fall asleep.
As long as she wasn’t alone, yes, as long as she wasn’t alone, nothing would scare her.
Even under such harsh conditions, she still had the confidence that they would make it through safely.
Early the next morning, Tang Yuxin already opened her eyes, yawned, sat up, and looked outside through the window.
The rain had lessened a bit, but it still continued to fall, and the sky was still overcast with no sun in sight, rendering the house’s solar power system useless.
They continued to live a primitive life here.
She thought about how she could probably find a bunch of seashells if she went to gather them now, with no one else picking them up, but she had no desire to do so, nor did she even want to go there, and it was the same with the others.
“You’re awake,” Gu Ning said as he came in and saw Tang Yuxin was already up.
He walked over and crouched down in front of her, “I’ve heated some water for you to wash up, even though it’s not a lot, but it’s enough for a wash.”
“Great,” Tang Yuxin hadn’t been able to take a bath for days and felt uncomfortable all over; having some water to bathe with was truly amazing.
Gu Ning must’ve collected the rainwater from outside, boiled it with gas, just a little bit, then mixed it with cold water to get it just right, not too cold.
She happily ran into the restroom, and indeed, the bathtub inside had water in it.
She dipped her hand in, and the water wasn’t too hot, just comfortably warm, ready for a wash.
Once Tang Yuxin emerged clean and fresh, she even carefully applied skincare cream on her face.
This way, she could look a little better.
Even though it was just her and Gu Ning, she didn’t want to let herself go too much.
