He relaxed slightly, sat up straight and adjusted his posture, looked at Xi Yuan's expression again, and asked, "Brother, were you feeling uncomfortable just now?"
Because he had been sick all year round, Ruan Qiu was very sensitive to some signs of pain. It doesn't look like he's angry either.
Xi Yuan said "hmm" without any intention of explaining.
As soon as he agreed to Ruan Qiu, he knew to call him brother.
He no longer resisted so much and sat quietly next to him talking to him.
It would be nice if he could smile again. Ruan Qiu's smile was even more beautiful, with his silver hair and light pupils, like the snow about to melt under the warm winter sun.
Xi Yuan glanced down and saw that the medical robot in his pocket was forced to turn on.
It received Xi Yuan's intention, poked its head out, ran to Ruan Qiu on its mechanical legs, and rubbed against him.
Ruan Qiu didn't know why. He looked up at Xi Yuan blankly and held up the medical robot: "Xiaohe?"
Realizing that the medical robot just wanted to play with him, Ruan Qiu took out a small iron stone from his body and threw it out like a puppy. .
The round iron stone rolled in front of Xi Yuan. The medical robot trotted over, looked at him cautiously, quickly picked up the iron stone and ran back.

A week later, Qi Li and Zhao Jiang suddenly became busier.
They brought back two boxes of combustible charcoal from outside, and took out some thick bedding and winter clothes to dry in advance.
Ruan Qiu was puzzled: "Are you moving?"
These days, he has also been helping to clean the house, wiping the railings in the corridor and so on. He can't just live and eat in vain.
Zhao Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The polar night is coming soon."
During the polar night of Loren Mercury, there will be no sunlight for a month, and the temperature will plummet to forty or fifty degrees below zero and lots of snowfall.
The climate broadcasts in the past few days have been announced in advance, but Ruan Qiu did not pay attention.
Charcoal is needed during the polar night, otherwise it will be very cold and freezing, and it will be difficult to survive with only clothes.
Ruan Qiu was curious: "Will it snow?"
He had never seen snow before and had no chance to see snow elsewhere.
"Yes, it will continue until the end of the polar night."
Zhao Jiang was drying the quilt and told Ruan Qiu that before the polar night came, the residents of Loren Mercury would hold a festival called the Cold Dew Festival.
In the early days, residents gathered together to give each other food and resources, so that everyone could spend the winter safely.
But now, no one will take the initiative to give away their own things for free. It has gradually turned into selling and buying, or equal exchange.
Although the behavior and purpose have changed, the festival has survived and is the only large-scale resident event in Loren Mercury.
There will also be some small vendors selling snacks and the like, and homemade iron-stone fireworks will be set off at night.
Zhao Jiang said a lot in one breath, and suddenly a chill ran down his spine. He turned around and saw Xi Yuan appearing in the corridor, looking over coldly.
