Chapter 9 The weather is unbearably hot
By mid-August, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and many people working outdoors suffered heatstroke and fainted, and were sent to the hospital, which was extremely busy.
Gu Yanxu called Lin Fan and the other two, telling them to pack their belongings and move to apartment 2002, Building 5, Huatian Residential Area.
Gu Yanxu told them to bring all their important belongings and to hire a moving company.
At least let the neighbors in this building know that you are going to live on the 21st and 22nd floors, and let them know that the top floor is already occupied.
Lin Fan and the other two were completely bewildered: What's going on here? Why are they being asked to move out of nowhere?
However, they did not question why, and immediately listened to Gu Yanxu, found a moving company, and moved into the community one by one each day.
After all three of them moved in in 2002.
Bai Tang organized a dinner party for several people at 2001 to celebrate moving to a new house.
At the same time, Gu Yanxu also subtly mentioned the current weather changes to the three of them, implying that the high temperatures might continue and disasters might occur.
The three of them understood Gu Yanxu's meaning: he had invited them to live together so that everyone could survive better.
Bai Tang took out fresh beef, meatballs, and various vegetables for hot pot from her space, preparing for everyone to enjoy a beef hot pot together.
Enjoying air conditioning, beef hotpot, and iced drinks – this kind of happiness is something others can't experience.
"Sister-in-law! Do you have any more beef? I'll go cut some more."
Lin Fan asked.
"Oh? Yes, it's in the refrigerator. Go get it yourself."
Bai Tang was stunned. Why was she suddenly being called "sister-in-law"?
After thinking it over, Bai Tang decided that she should give Gu Yanxu a proper status, so she proposed to him right there at the dinner table.
"Brother Xu, we've been together for so long, will you marry me? Wait, no, I should say, will you marry me?"
Bai Tang said to Gu Yanxu in a very serious tone.
The people around the table were stunned (°ー°〃).
"Wow, is your sister-in-law really that fierce?! Can Brother Gu handle her?"
"Huh? My sister proposed to Xu Ge? What's going on?"
"Wow, my sister-in-law is so cool! Shouldn't we be here?"
"Huh? Why did my Tangtang propose to me first? I should have done this kind of thing."
The group's minds were racing with thoughts of dialogue.
Seeing that Gu Yanxu didn't speak, Bai Tang thought that Gu Yanxu was unwilling to marry her. Bai Tang was about to say, "Since you are unwilling, then forget it."
Before he could even finish speaking, Gu Yanxu hurriedly said, "I'm willing to marry you! Ah!? No, Tangtang, I'm willing to marry you! When are we going to get our marriage certificate?"
Gu Yanxu, a powerful and domineering CEO, suddenly becomes a weak and helpless little wife in front of Bai Tang.
Seeing this, the others started to egg them on, urging them to pick a good day and get their marriage certificate quickly.
Gu Yanxu said, "There's no time like the present. Let's do it today. Tangtang, let's have dinner and then go get our marriage certificate this afternoon."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Bai Jiyang said from the side, "Then I should start calling you brother-in-law from now on. Brother-in-law, you have to treat my sister well."
"Don't worry, I will protect her."
After everyone had finished eating and the afternoon sun wasn't so strong, Gu Yanxu and Bai Tang took their household registration books and drove off.
Lin Fan sighed and said, "Sigh, from now on, it'll just be the four of us single dogs."
Lin Zhou chimed in from the side, "The boss has never been a single dog, okay? He's wanted to get a marriage certificate with his girlfriend for a long time, he's wanted a formal status for a long time."
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu quickly drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The two got out of the car and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau, where staff members came over to guide them through the procedures.
Before long, the two little red books, still slightly warm, were in their hands.
Bai Tang thought to herself: In just a short while, I've become a married woman.
Gu Yanxu was secretly delighted: finally he had a real title, and could openly hug his wife Tangtang.
After the two returned to the 20th floor, Gu Yanxu showed off the red marriage certificate in his hand to everyone, which really irritated all the single people.
That night, Gu Yanxu was about to move into Bai Tang's bedroom, but Bai Jiyang stopped him: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing in my sister's bedroom?"
"We're legally married now. I have a marriage certificate. Xiao Yang, you've started calling me brother-in-law. Isn't it normal for me and your sister to share a room?" Gu Yanxu said with a smile to Bai Jiyang.
Bai Jiyang: "I'm just not used to suddenly calling you brother-in-law."
After Bai Jiyang finished speaking, Gu Yanxu carried his quilt into Bai Tang's bedroom.
When Bai Tang came out after taking a shower, she noticed that there seemed to be something extra on her bed.
A handsome man in pajamas, who seemed to be trying to seduce her.
"Don't do that, Xu-ge, it makes you look greasy," Bai Tang said to Gu Yanxu jokingly.
"Tangtang, my wife~ come here and let me hug you."
Bai Tang walked towards Gu Yanxu, and Gu Yanxu hugged her tightly.
Gu Yanxu said with a satisfied look, "Tangtang, I finally have a proper status."
"You've always had one. He was my boyfriend before, and now he's my husband."
Gu Yanxu was stunned when he heard the word "husband".
"Tangtang, please say it again, okay?"
"Husband~ Husband!"
"Tangtang, we have many more days to spend together in the future."
With the air conditioning on, the two of them slowly fell asleep in each other's arms.
(Ahem, just chatting under the covers, there's still a long way to go.)
The next day, Bai Tang woke up because of the heat and wondered: Did they turn off the air conditioner?
Bai Tang threw off the summer blanket and got out of bed, only to find that the air conditioner was on, but it was still unbearably hot.
After Bai Tang finished washing up, she went outside and saw Bai Jiyang and the others eating ice cream.
Although the living room air conditioner was set to 19º, the temperature didn't cool down much.
However, it is much cooler indoors compared to the high temperature outdoors.
There are hardly any pedestrians on the streets now. The few who are there are simply walking quickly under the sun with parasols.
Seeing this, Bai Tang advised them, "In this weather, unless it's something serious, try not to go out. Be careful of heatstroke."
"Okay, thank you for your concern, sister-in-law."
"Okay, sis."
After breakfast, Gu Yanxu said to them, "As you can see, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and we don't know what will happen next. We can't just stay at home eating without exercising every day. I've set up a gym in room 2101 upstairs. Let's go, everyone."
"The boss is right, my abs are almost gone, I need to get back in shape right away."
"Brother-in-law is right. Only those with the ability can protect my sister. Brother Linzhou, wait for me, I'll go with you."
After cleaning up the dishes, the group went upstairs to the gym to start exercising properly, since the weather was too hot and over-exercising could easily have the opposite effect.
Bai Tang also got on the treadmill. Bai Tang's physical fitness was quite good, after all, she had been specially trained in kung fu by a master since she was a child.
Because Bai's parents were worried that someone would kidnap and extort their children, Bai Tang and Bai Jiyang were taught some life-saving skills from a young age.
Otherwise, Bai Tang wouldn't have been able to survive for so long in that hellish apocalyptic world if she were all alone in her previous life.
