114 I Can Finally Have a Good Night’s Sleep
Du Yue had a good memory, so she naturally remembered this. “If you give it to me, what will you use for yourself?”
“I still have one more.” Du Yue did not reject the gift and accepted it. “Thank you. I’ve just started the fire. I was going to bring you some charcoal.”
“Alright!” He Xing agreed, but he had no intention of going in. He just waited at the door. Seeing him like this, Du Yue’s lips curled up as she went back to her bedroom with the range hood. Du Yue immediately took out a metal bucket from her interspace. The metal bucket was filled with burning charcoal. Du Yue handed the bucket to He Xing. “You don’t have to bring the bucket back to me immediately,” she said.
“Sure, I’ll return it to you tomorrow.”
After the two of them said their goodbyes, they returned to their respective homes.
Du Yue had turned on all the heating equipment in the bedroom when she came back. The furnace was also filled with charcoal, and the temperature had risen quite a bit. It was dinner time, and she wanted to test out the range hood that He Xing had given her. Du Yue turned it on and placed it beside the stove. She then took out a bowl of spicy soup from her interspace and heated it up.
The numbing spicy soup was originally boiling hot, and the moment it was taken out of the space, the hot air spread out. After heating it on the stove, the soup base emitted more steam, and the fragrance became stronger. However, Du Yue soon realized that the lingering smoke only floated around the stove and would soon be sucked in by the range hood. It would not drift to any other part of the house.
Du Yue walked a few steps away and stood at the door. She could not smell even the slightest bit of the spicy hot pot. Even though He Xing had told her that the range hood could suck in the smell, she was still shocked when she tried it out for herself. This was high-tech!
Although she did not know where He Xing had gotten such a good item, it was indeed very useful! Du Yue returned to the stove, took out a plate of fish balls from the space, and put them into the pot. Before the apocalypse, there was a popular post on the internet that said eating alone was level-five loneliness. Now, Du Yue was sitting by the warm stove and eating fragrant spicy soup. Not only did she not feel lonely, but she also felt very satisfied.
Could there be a more blissful moment than this? Obviously, there was. Du Yue ate half of the spicy soup before she remembered to take out her tablet and play ‘The Legend of Zhen Huan’. It was indeed more blissful to watch a show and enjoy good food at the same time!
She did not have anything to do after that, so Du Yue took her time and spent an hour eating the meal. Fortunately, the meal was numbing, spicy, and hot. If it was not enough, she could add soup. She was not afraid of getting cold. At the end of the meal, Du Yue even took out a cup of milk tea with 30% sugar and no ice from her interspace. The meal was finally over after she drank the cup of milk tea.
After cleaning up the dishes, Du Yue took out a tent and a bathtub from the space. She began to take a bath. She had not taken a bath for two days. Now, she could finally take a comfortable hot bath and change into clean pajamas. Du Yue felt alive again.
Although it was only around eight o’clock in the evening, Du Yue went to bed after drying her hair. For the past two days, she had been sleeping while sitting. She did not dare to fall deep asleep at all. Now that she could finally lie on her warm and comfortable bed, Du Yue could not help but roll a few times with the blanket wrapped around her. Only then did she calm down. As expected, nowhere else could compare to home!
If she did not know that there would be an earthquake in two years and that this building might not even be able to withstand it, Du Yue would have definitely thought of a way to buy the house.
The next morning, after Du Yue woke up, she went back to her usual day-to-day. She trained for three hours, washed up, and had breakfast. It was almost 11 o’clock when she was done. Du Yue took out a brand new phone and tablet from her interspace and went to He Xing’s house.
He Xing looked at the mobile phone and tablet that Du Yue handed to him, and a smile appeared on his face. After looking at the gadgets, he put them aside and said to Du Yue, “Captain Zuo still owes us some contribution points. I’ll go get them from him later. Come with me. After we get the card, we’ll go to the service hall and transfer the contribution points to our own cards.”
She was involved in this matter, so Du Yue had to go with him. She nodded and agreed. Before she left, she made a trip home and changed into some clothes and shoes. She then went downstairs with He Xing. Although the service hall was also in the base, it was still quite far from the small building. The two of them chose to drive there.
