Chapter 238 Midnight Day Officially Begins

Mu Ci tiptoed to the bedside and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth when he saw Shi Jiaojiao falling asleep in less than a minute.

The person on the bed was curled up, looking very small, and appeared obedient and sweet, without any trace of the ruthless intent that one would use to kill someone.

She was wearing a set of two-piece silk pajamas. Because the shorts were loose, the cuffs had been lifted up to her thighs at some point, revealing a large area of ​​skin.

Mu Ci's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously twice, and his nose was filled with the sweet smell of Jiaojiao's shower gel.

He closed his eyes and opened them after a moment.

Then he carefully lay down on the other side of the bed.

······

When she opened her eyes again, Shi Jiaojiao felt sore all over and her head was heavy.

She rubbed her eyes and the cave was dark.

Mu Ci heard the noise and turned on the light.

Maybe because they were afraid that the energy-saving lamp would be too glaring, they just turned on a small mushroom lamp.

The light is soft, but enough to dispel the darkness around.

He glanced at the person next to him and said softly, "Awake?"

Shi Jiaojiao said "hmm". She had just woken up and her voice was still a little nasal.

She turned around and subconsciously stretched out her arms to hug Mu Ci tightly.

Her legs were also resting on his thighs.

Mu Ci looked at the little head in his arms and his heart softened.

Two years ago, the little girl who was as taut as a string and could break at any time finally changed.

Just like a kitten with its fur standing on end, it is always alert to the dangers around it and doesn't trust anyone, but now it suddenly shows its belly and asks for a pat.

"What time is it?" Shi Jiaojiao's voice was a little hoarse.

Mu Ci took the watch and took a look: "It's half past eight. Are you hungry? Do you want to get up and eat something?"

Shi Jiaojiao rubbed her sleepy eyes and nodded.

I slept for ten hours, making up for the sleep I missed the night before.

“By the way, I took the temperature at six o’clock this morning, it was 48 degrees.” Mu Ci said.

After hearing this, Shi Jiaojiao immediately took out a calendar from her space and marked the temperature on today's date.

Since we don't know when the polar day will come, we can only estimate it through this clumsy method of recording the temperature.

Washing and breakfast were done in the space, and after that the two returned to the cave.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Jia's voice came from the intercom.

"Jiaojiao, I forgot to ask you yesterday how much that batch of water cost. I'll give it to you."

Shi Jiaojiao did not refuse and told the price.

This price was decided after she discussed with Mu Ci.

It will not cause any serious damage to Wang Jia and his team, and it is also in line with the current water shortage situation.

As for the anti-epidemic powder, she didn't mention it.

When they were going up the mountain yesterday, she and Mu Ci scattered the medicine powder along the foot of the mountain.

There weren't many left, so I just put them into the space.

The temperature at noon today is 65 degrees.

Shi Jiaojiao put down the thermometer, not knowing to what degree the temperature would stop rising.

Now that all the necessary preparations have been made, the only thing left is to wait.

She has been very busy these days and now that she suddenly has some free time, she is a little uncomfortable.

Mu Ci moved a bedside table, put the small stand in place, and opened the tablet.

Shi Jiaojiao took out a bunch of snacks, an extra-large fruit plate, and two glasses of iced juice from the space.

The tablet was filled with laughter from variety shows, which sounded strangely disconnected at this moment.

She picked up a grape, pinched the butt, and put a little force to her mouth. The flesh automatically slid into her mouth, leaving only a thin layer of skin on her fingers.

The grapes are chilled so they taste extra cool.

One after another, I can't stop.

Drink a glass of juice after eating the grapes.

Comfortable.

Shi Jiaojiao stared at the tablet and realized that the juice was finished, so she took out another cup from the space.

Hold the straw in your mouth and suck hard.

It didn't move.

The funniest part was playing on the tablet at that moment. She kept staring at it without giving it much thought, thinking that there might be some fruit pulp in the juice that had blocked the straw.

Then he continued to suck hard, until his cheeks were concave, but it was all in vain.

Only then did she realize something was wrong, and her eyes glanced at the cup like a fighting fish.

I saw the straw was tightly pinched by a hand.

No wonder even after trying so hard to suck the milk, the juice still didn't come out.

Mu Ci took the juice and the cup away, "You drank two cups in one go, and your stomach hurts again?"

Shi Jiaojiao looked at the juice moving away from her, with a look of heartache on her face: "I've already taken it out, it would be a waste if I don't drink it."

Mu Ci smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll give it to you when it's not cold anymore."

Shi Jiaojiao sighed.

What's the point of drinking it if you don't drink it iced?

But looking at Mu Ci's expression, it was obvious that he would not indulge himself, so he had to pick up the snacks on the table.

There was a crunching sound in his mouth, as if he was not eating snacks but Mu Ci's meat.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Jia called the two people using the intercom.

"Jiaojiao, do you want to have a meal together before the polar day comes?"

Shi Jiaojiao thought about it and agreed.

I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway.

She rummaged through the supplies in the space, took out a bag of dried bean curd, four packs of instant noodles, three boxes of canned food, and three pounds of flour. After thinking for a while, she took out two dried fish.

However, this time Wang Jia and Tang Wei had a meal purely to thank their good neighbors, and the food had already been prepared.

If you are not good at cooking, then take out the self-heating pot that you have treasured for a long time and put it in with canned dried vegetables.

The staple food is also a big steaming steamed bun. It doesn’t look very good, but it’s completely delicious.

In addition, two dried fish were steamed and poured with some hot pot soup, which is a rare delicacy in the end times.

Wang Jia saw Shi Jiaojiao just walked in and her eyes immediately flashed with a gleam that was almost as bright as a searchlight.

Then he followed Shi Jiaojiao around diligently, bringing her water and moving chairs. He looked as if he wanted to pick up the food and feed it to Shi Jiaojiao with his own hands.

Although today's batch of water also came with supplies, if Shi Jiaojiao wasn't there, she wouldn't be able to buy it even if she wanted to use the supplies.

Mu Ci had been ignored by him at this time.

Don’t think she doesn’t know. If Jiaojiao wasn’t around, Mu Ci would not care about other people.

The reason why she and Tang Wei were able to live so well and even survive until now in the apocalypse was because they had the right people.

Shi Jiaojiao looked at Wang Jia's appearance and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After finishing their meal with laughter, she and Mu Ci didn’t plan to stay any longer.

The cave is not very big, and it seems a bit cramped when there are too many people.

She was just saying goodbye to Wang Jia when she suddenly heard Mu Ci's voice, which was solemn and bitter.

"Jiaojiao, the polar day has begun."

When Shi Jiaojiao heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she quickly ran to the door.

Wang Jia and Tang Wei's expressions also changed.

The four of them looked out the door.

I don't know when it started, but the color of the sun has changed strangely.

It was no longer the familiar golden color, but turned into a rich orange-red, as if it was a fireball that was about to explode at any time.

The sky also lost its former blue color and was covered by a layer of light yellow, looking extremely depressing.

The whole world seemed to be paused. There were no clouds and the wind seemed to have disappeared.

There was an indescribable feeling of dullness in the air, so stuffy that it was almost hard to breathe.

There was only a scorching sun hanging high in the sky.

It’s as if announcing to the world, I’m here!
