Du Yue rubbed her eyes in disbelief. She wondered if she was still dreaming or if she had not slept well, which was why she could not see clearly. However, when Du Yue opened her eyes again, nothing had changed. Originally, because of the thick fog, she could only see one or two meters of the surrounding area. However, Du Yue was not wearing glasses now, and she could clearly see Xia Ju’s RV door. It was at least seven to eight meters from their car to Xia Ju’s RV. Therefore, all of this was not an illusion. The thick fog had really thinned a lot.
Du Yue stood at the door, recalling the events of her previous life in a daze. It had been so long that she could not remember clearly. Although she could not remember the details, the only thing she was sure of was that there was no transition from the thick fog to the polar night in her previous life. Did something change in this life?
Du Yue was immersed in her thoughts when she saw He Xing walking toward her with a lunch box. “You’re awake? It’s time for breakfast. Let’s go.”
Du Yue nodded and followed He Xing back to the car. They sat opposite each other on the sofa. After sitting down, Du Yue did not hurry to pick up her chopsticks. Instead, she opened the car window. “Look, the fog outside seems to have thinned a lot.”
“Yes, I noticed it when 1 woke up this morning.”
He Xing nodded. “It’s been almost three hours since I woke up. The fog is much lighter than when I woke up. It’s obvious that it’s slowly dissipating. If nothing unexpected happens, the thick fog will completely dissipate in less than a month.”
“If the thick fog is really gone, life will be much more convenient.” Du Yue said this, but her brows were still tightly knitted together. Compared to her previous life, there were too many changes in this life.
The more changes there were, the more unknown there would be, which would make her even more afraid of the future. Du Yue had told He Xing everything that had happened in her previous life.
He Xing knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression. “Don’t worry too much.” As He Xing spoke, he opened the lunch box and placed the prepared food in front of Du Yue. “It’s boring if life remains the same. It’s okay if there are changes. I’ll always be by your side.”
Du Yue’s eyes curved. “You’re right. Since we can’t change anything, why don’t we face what comes calmly? So, what delicious food did you make for me?”
“Sweet potato porridge, scallion pancakes, and some salted vegetables that you like.” Du Yue nodded and took out a plate of shredded bamboo shoots in chili oil from her space. After the two of them were full, Du Yue looked toward Xia Ju’s RV. Du Yue wanted to share the good news that the fog was about to dissipate with Xia Ju. After all, Xia Ju chose to stay here because she yearned for the blue sky and the vibrant prairie. If the fog really dispersed, she might have a chance to see it.
However, Du Yue thought about it and decided not to disturb her. According to He Xing, it would take nearly a month for the fog to disperse. Xia Ju’s research would probably be completed by then. It would be good for her to discover it herself. From that day on, Du Yue and He Xing were busy with their own things every day, but they did not forget to observe the thick fog outside the window. As time passed, the thick fog was indeed slowly dissipating.
After half a month, the two of them could already see the situation 20 meters away. Even though they could not see clearly what was farther away, they could vaguely make out the outline of it. Two or three days later, Du Yue felt a breeze as soon as she got out of the RV. Wind! There was actually wind!
The midsummer had ended, and it was already autumn. The breeze carried a hint of coolness and was very comfortable. It was uncertain if it was because of the wind, but the thick fog dissipated faster than a few days ago. With the naked eye, one could see 30 to 40 meters away. The fog seemed to be dissipating at an even faster speed now.
“At this rate, the fog should be completely gone in five days at most,” Du Yue said and looked up subconsciously. “I wonder if we can see the sun after the fog dissipates.”
Ever since the extreme heat passed, Du Yue had not seen the sun for several years. Although she already had the answer in her heart, she could not help but look forward to the day when she could see the sun in the sky. Du Yue’s estimation was correct. The thick fog completely dissipated on the fourth day.
Although the thick fog had disappeared, the sky was still gray, and there was no sign of the sun. However, this was enough to make Du Yue excited..
