Inside the small shelter, Chen Xin was in the midst of removing ice when he suddenly heard someone calling his name. He pressed against the slit where he had knocked off the accumulated ice to observe outside, and saw the door of his own refuge wide open with Qin Lan kneeling in the snow.
Chen Xin was a bit puzzled but still directed his flashlight towards Qin Lan.
"Why are you shouting? Running out like this early in the morning without wearing protective gear, are you trying to freeze to death? Get inside and close the door!" Chen Xin angrily shouted at Qin Lan.
It had just snowed a bit this morning, and the temperature was very low. Qin Lan, running out without any protective equipment, could become numb from the -30°C cold in just a short while. A bit longer and she could get frostbite or even freeze to death.
Seeing Qin Lan kneeling in the snow like that, it was no wonder Chen Xin was angry.
