After Su Qinghe forcefully slapped a mosquito to death, she immediately bought a bottle of Florida water from the system space and sprayed it on her legs and arms.
Truth be told, it worked really well!
Right after spraying it, no more mosquitoes came to bother her.
Su Qinghe gently combed her hair with a comb, letting the evening breeze dry it.
The breeze was gentle and not dry; everything was just right!
As soon as Qin Wang came out of the bathroom, he saw Su Qinghe sitting there.
Sitting quietly under the moonlight, with the gentle breeze softly blowing her long hair and a faint smile resting on her lips, she looked exceptionally gentle.
For a moment, Qin Wang was dazed by the sight.
When his mother died, he was only three years old.
Try as he might, he couldn’t remember what his mother looked like.
His mother hadn’t even left a single photograph behind.
But in his imagination, his mother looked just like this.
For a moment, Qin Wang stood there mesmerized.
Su Qinghe heard the sound of the door opening.
But after waiting a good while without seeing Qin Wang walk over, she turned her head to look, only to see Qin Wang standing blankly at the bathroom doorway.
Su Qinghe raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong? What are you looking at?”
Qin Wang instantly snapped back to his senses.
Illusion!
It was all an illusion!
If only she hadn’t opened her mouth!
“It’s nothing.”
Qin Wang replied and was about to go back to his room.
Seeing him about to leave, Su Qinghe stood up and walked over. “Wait, don’t leave yet.”
“What’s wrong?” Qin Wang looked at Su Qinghe warily.
Su Qinghe shook the bottle of Florida water in her hand. “Are there mosquitoes at night? Put a bit of Florida water on yourself, and you’ll sleep much better tonight.”
Su Qinghe had already torn off the wrapper from the Florida water bottle earlier.
Since the smell of Florida water was mostly the same anyway, she wasn’t worried about Qin Wang suspecting anything odd.
Qin Wang pressed his lips together and said nothing.
Seeing his expression, Su Qinghe knew he was being awkward again.
She simply ignored his reaction and directly sprinkled some Florida water onto both of his arms.
“Alright, rub it in yourself!”
As Su Qinghe spoke, she turned and walked into her room.
“Sleep early! Call me when you leave tomorrow morning, and I’ll go lock the front gate!”
Back inside, Su Qinghe closed the door to the west room and bolted it from the inside, before entering the inner bedroom and bolting that door as well.
After securing the doors and drawing the curtains, Su Qinghe laid down on the kang bed.
Originally, she had wanted to go straight to sleep.
But she couldn’t fall asleep at all!
Why was it so hot!
For someone accustomed to air conditioners and fans, telling her that “a calm mind keeps you cool” was absolute nonsense.
Su Qinghe opened the system mall and typed the word “fan” into the search bar.
Soon, Su Qinghe saw all kinds of fans.
Considering the environmental constraints, Su Qinghe selected a low-power, ultra-silent fan.
The price of the fans was uniform—regardless of size, they all cost ten nurture points.
Su Qinghe had just spent tens of nurture points buying toiletries, leaving her with thirteen nurture points.
After purchasing this fan, she had only three nurture points left.
Looking at the “3” in her balance, Su Qinghe smiled silently.
Not bad, at least it didn’t hit zero!
Anyway, when she woke up tomorrow, three daily quests would be waiting for her, and earning nurture points would take just minutes.
Su Qinghe plugged in the fan and set it to speed two, and sure enough, she heard almost no sound.
Since she couldn’t hear anything from this close, people outside wouldn’t hear a thing either.
Feeling the cool breeze blowing from the fan, Su Qinghe finally felt refreshed all over and laid back down.
Enveloped by the cool breeze, Su Qinghe quickly drifted off to sleep.
In a daze, she seemed to hear some commotion outside.
It was probably Qin Yu returning!
Thinking this, Su Qinghe rolled over and went back to sleep.
When she woke up again, Su Qinghe was awakened by a knock on the door.
When Su Qinghe first opened her eyes, she was still a bit dazed.
Only when she looked around at her surroundings did she remember that she had transmigrated.
Curtains in this era weren’t designed for blackout capability; they were just a piece of cloth.
Sunlight was already streaming through the curtain.
Although she didn’t know what time it was, Su Qinghe knew that the person pounding on the door must be Qin Wang.
Su Qinghe first put the fan away into her space, and only then opened the bedroom door and walked out.
Opening the outer door, she indeed saw Qin Wang carrying a schoolbag.
Qin Wang had no expression on his face. “I’m off to school!”
Su Qinghe subconsciously glanced at the desk clock.
Seven o’clock in the morning.
Indeed very early!
Su Qinghe walked out with Qin Wang. Noticing no movement from the east room and no one else in the yard, she subconsciously asked, “Where’s your dad?”
“My dad left at six in the morning.”
Su Qinghe was stunned hearing this.
Left at six in the morning?
If she remembered correctly, didn’t he come back in the middle of the night last night?
Returning at midnight and leaving at dawn—how many hours of sleep did he even get?
“Is your dad always this busy?” Su Qinghe asked curiously.
Qin Wang glanced at Su Qinghe. “Yeah! My dad is the factory director, he has tons of work to do! Do you think he’s like you, sleeping in until now without getting up?”
Su Qinghe, “…”
Say what you want, but personal attacks are uncalled for!
As they talked, they reached the front gate.
Qin Wang opened the gate and left. Su Qinghe watched him leave before locking the gate and wandering back to the kang bed to sleep some more.
The morning was cool, so it wasn’t hot even without turning on the fan.
Su Qinghe fell right back to sleep.
But when she woke up from her morning nap, she felt sticky and clammy all over, extremely uncomfortable.
Su Qinghe simply went to the bathroom first. While washing up, she also took a shower using a refreshing shower gel, feeling completely rejuvenated afterward.
By the time she finished getting ready, it was already 9:30 AM.
Su Qinghe went to the State-run Restaurant, wanting to grab some breakfast.
But the State-run Restaurant was already closed!
Looking at the tightly closed doors of the State-run Restaurant, Su Qinghe was dumbfounded.
Before transmigrating, breakfast shops were open from early morning till noon.
It was only 9:30 in the morning, and the State-run Restaurant had already closed?
Furthermore, their lunch hours were from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM!
Their dinner hours were from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM!
At any other time, it didn’t matter who showed up!
Su Qinghe, “…”
As expected of a State-run Restaurant!
As expected of an iron rice bowl job!
They really had the audacity!
Su Qinghe shook her head helplessly and turned to leave.
She didn’t want to eat snacks, and she didn’t know how to cook.
Su Qinghe was in no hurry to go home, slowly strolling along the road.
Unlike her leisurely pace, many people she met on the road were rushing back and forth, walking briskly with vigor and purpose.
That energetic spirit was simply decades ahead of Su Qinghe!
Su Qinghe looked on with immense envy, but didn’t long for it.
Transmigrating into a book was already exhausting, and living in an era without the internet, smartphones, food delivery, or travel was already tough enough. What was wrong with enjoying herself within her means?
