149 Good Girl, You’ve Suffered
After listening to He Xing’s explanation, Du Yue finally understood what was going on. “I see. Why don’t we just take some supplies out of the space?” As she spoke, Du Yue took out all the items He Xing had ordered from her interspace and placed them on the carpet.
Not long after, the supplies in front of the two of them had already piled up into a small mountain. After she was done, Du Yue said to He Xing, “The things you just bought… Since you’ve bought them, we’ll find some time to go get them. However, we don’t need to buy so many supplies at once after this. We have enough supplies to sustain our lives, so there’s no need to snatch these supplies from others.”
He Xing nodded. “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”
Although Du Yue often pretended to be a cold person, she was actually very gentle and considerate. As long as it would not harm her own interests, she would also consider those who were in the same situation as her—even if they had nothing to do with her.
He Xing felt that Du Yue was a treasure. The more he spent time with her, the more he liked her. She was kind but not a saint, and she would not attack anyone unless they attacked her first. He Xing turned on his optical computer. Silver light enveloped the items in front of him, and in an instant, they all disappeared.
This was Du Yue’s first time seeing He Xing teleport items to the galaxy. Even though He Xing had informed her before, she was still shocked when she saw it with her own eyes. He Xing fiddled with the optical computer for a while and nodded at Du Yue. “It’s done. The medicine will be here soon.”
Du Yue kept feeling like she was in a dream. However, when the medicine suddenly appeared in front of her, that surreal feeling completely disappeared. “When you take this medicine, you’ll suffer a little. However, your physical fitness isn’t bad. You should be able to grit your teeth and get through it.” He Xing had known Du Yue for a long time, so he was very familiar with her physical fitness.
It was also because of this that he dared to let Du Yue consume the evolution potion without worry.
Du Yue held the transparent test tube and looked at the blue liquid inside. She did not even frown. She opened the lid and drank it in one go. Just as He Xing had said, she did feel a little uncomfortable after taking the medicine, but she was able to endure it. Du Yue felt as if a furnace had been ignited in her body. The ball of fire in the furnace made her body extremely hot, and every drop of her blood seemed to dry up. After a while, Du Yue’s clothes were soaked with cold sweat. However, Du Yue was no longer in the mood to care about her clothes. She could only grit her teeth and endure the pain.
She did not know how much time had passed, but it went from excruciating pain to numbness. Du Yue slowly regained her senses. Just as she tried to open her eyes, she saw He Xing standing in front of her, his face filled with anxiety and worry.
Du Yue did not want him to worry, so she forced herself to be alert. “What? Why are you frowning so much? Didn’t you just say that you believe in my physical fitness?”
“Good girl, you’ve suffered,” He Xing said gently as he reached out to caress her hair. Du Yue’s lips curled up, and He Xing smiled along with her. Although the two of them looked a little silly when they were smiling at each other, only they themselves understood that they had bonded deeper.
Du Yue closed her eyes and rested for a while before she managed to sit up. “I’m all sweaty. I’ll go take a shower first.”
He Xing stood up from the carpet and said, “I’ll go back first. You can take a shower and sleep. We’ll have dinner together tonight. ”
“Alright! I’ll see you tonight.” Du Yue watched as He Xing opened the door and left. She heard his footsteps getting farther and farther away until they disappeared at the other end of the corridor. She smiled and put the bed into the space. Then, she took out the bathtub, took off her clothes, and took a bath.
Other than the charcoal furnace in Du Yue’s bedroom, there was also the heater given to her by He Xing. Ever since she used the heater that He Xing gave her, all her other heating equipment had been left unused in her interspace. With just the furnace and the heater, the temperature in the room could reach about 15 degrees. Of course, it was not impossible to make it warmer, but Du Yue and He Xing felt that there was no need.
They could not stay at home all their lives. If they were always in a warm and comfortable environment, their ability to withstand the cold would be greatly reduced when they went out of their houses, and they would be more likely to fall sick.
