With the generator, the boys were also able to use the air conditioner and refrigerator.
Lu Yuan clung to the refrigerator, insisting that it had given him hope to live again and that he would spend the rest of his life with it. Chen Yi scoffed at this childish behavior and turned to express her love for the air conditioner.
Qi Yanche: "..." Having a roommate who is like a dragon and a phoenix is really tiring and exhausting.
The sun was about to set, and Cheng Zhi suggested turning off the power to let the generator and air conditioner rest. No one objected. Xiao Feiran took out a human-powered generator from his spatial storage, patted the bicycle seat, and said, "Let's use this tonight; it's all-natural and pollution-free."
Huang Yiyi had never played this before, and raised her hand to indicate that she wanted to be the first to try it. "It looks really interesting. It can generate electricity and help you lose weight at the same time. It's a win-win situation!"
Hearing this, Zheng Wan, who was peeling bitter melon in the back, burst out laughing. "You'll find out soon enough. I hope you don't come down crying."
Huang Yiyi was very dismissive of the idea of riding a bicycle and vowed that she would never complain.
Cheng Zhi, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, had no interest in Huang Yiyi's promises, after all, she had heard such words countless times in the past three years.
She originally wanted to continue reading, but when she saw the bitter melon in Zheng Wan's hand, her face turned bitter too. "Seriously? There are so many delicious vegetables to grow, why did you have to grow bitter melon? When did you plant it? I had no idea!"
Zheng Wan laughed triumphantly, "I planted it secretly behind your back! If you had known, would this bitter melon have grown?"
She and Xiao Feiran secretly planted the bitter melons next to the chicken coop so that Cheng Zhi wouldn't see them in the vegetable garden.
That's right. Cheng Zhi hates bitter melon the most. If she knew it was planted in the ground, she would definitely sneak up in the middle of the night and pull it all out.
Seeing Cheng Zhi's bitter and resentful look, Xiao Feiran comforted her, "It's so hot now, eating bitter melon is good for your health. Besides, you have to trust Wan's cooking skills, it's definitely better than what you get in the cafeteria."
Touching the scorching wall, Cheng Zhi gave up struggling and muttered to herself, "It's just eating a bitter melon. It's all for survival. I can accept it."
Zheng Wan had just finished peeling the bitter melon. She shook the residue off her hands, stood up confidently, and said, "Just you wait and see, you'll definitely love the bitter melon I made."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Wan flashed into the spatial dimension. The remaining four looked at each other in bewilderment.
Xiao Feiran snapped his fingers. "If Sister Wan has spoken, then it must be delicious."
Chen Siyu and Huang Yiyi exchanged a glance and nodded affirmatively. Zheng Wan usually wouldn't make empty promises; if she said it was delicious, it was basically a definite yes.
This even attracted Cheng Zhi, who doesn't like bitter melon. How exactly is Zheng Wan going to cook this bitter melon?
The four of them slipped into the space and peeked out from the kitchen doorway, but were chased out by Zheng Wan, who was wielding a spatula.
After waiting for who knows how long, Cheng Zhi had almost petted the little rabbit bald, Zheng Wan finally announced that dinner was served. The four of them rushed to the table, where a plate of neatly arranged stuffed bitter melon came into view.
Xiao Feiran couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Sister Wan, you can even cook Cantonese food! Is there anything you can't do?!"
Zheng Wan smiled, took off her apron and draped it over the back of the chair, gesturing for everyone to sit down quickly, "Hurry up and sit down and try it, I promise it won't be bad."
Cheng Zhi was the first to sit down, picking up a piece of glistening, meaty bitter melon and examining it closely. Finally, she mustered the courage to take a bite. Upon tasting it, she found it wasn't as bitter as she had imagined. The original bitterness of the bitter melon had been washed away, and now she could only taste the aroma of stuffed meat and shiitake mushrooms mixed together, with a crisp texture of water chestnuts as she chewed.
Zheng Wan looked at Cheng Zhi expectantly, and after about five or six seconds, Cheng Zhi finally spoke.
"Oh my god, this smells so good!" Cheng Zhi was completely won over by the stuffed bitter melon and couldn't help but pick up another piece.
Chen Siyu took a bite and praised it highly, saying that Zheng Wan's version was particularly authentic.
Huang Yiyi shoveled a couple of mouthfuls of rice into her mouth. "I don't know if it's authentic or not, but it's definitely delicious. Sister Wan, can we eat stuffed bitter melon every day? It has both vegetables and meat, it's so good."
Zheng Wan shook her head. Stuffed bitter melon was indeed delicious, but chopping meat filling was too troublesome. Whether her hands would get tired from doing it every day was another matter, but she would probably ruin several cutting boards.
After finishing their meal, the five of them were about to leave the space and face the scorching heat of the outside world.
Cheng Zhi instructed everyone to apply the cooling patches properly and to bring ice water, medicine, and other necessities, otherwise people would not be able to stand being in a particularly hot place all of a sudden.
Everyone was ready, and the next second they all appeared in the living room on the second floor.
As soon as you step out of the space, the sweltering heat hits you, making you feel suffocated.
Huang Yiyi couldn't help but swear, "Damn, this is way too hot! I feel like the oxygen is so thin, I can't breathe!"
Zheng Wan, who is not usually bothered by the heat, felt like she was about to sweat as soon as she came out. She sprayed herself with a moisturizing spray a couple of times and exclaimed, "My God, this is like a steam room!"
Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran quickly set up the human-powered generator, plugged in the fan, and Chen Siyu sat on the bicycle and started pedaling. The fan started running, and the heat in the air was blown away a little, so everyone no longer felt like they were about to faint.
Chen Siyu wasn't too bored while reading a novel and cycling, but Huang Yiyi watched longingly from the side. "Why don't you get off and let me play first?"
Chen Siyu coaxed Huang Yiyi like a child, "Can you just wait for me to finish this hour of playing? If you want to play, the remaining two hours are yours, okay?"
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Huang Yiyi happily walked away to help Cheng Zhi and the others lay out mats a short distance away.
An hour and a half later, Huang Yiyi's wails echoed throughout the villa, "Ahhh—this thing is so tiring to pedal!"
Chen Siyu, who was sitting on a bamboo mat enjoying the breeze from the fan and drinking ice water, sneered mercilessly, "Hahaha, you're already tired? Who was it that said they wanted to play for two hours? You can't go back on your word!"
Xiao Feiran applied the face mask directly, looking quite pleased. "You know what, the absorption of a face mask is really fast at this temperature. You guys should apply one too, it cools you down and moisturizes you, killing two birds with one stone."
Cheng Zhi took out some Huoxiang Zhengqi oral liquid from her spatial storage, broke them open one by one, and handed them to everyone. She was especially considerate to Huang Yiyi, even holding the Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid to her lips, saying, "Sister, keep going! The longer you pedal, the later I can pedal. You have to hold on, two hours of good luck!"
Huang Yiyi: "..." So bitter, my life is even more bitter than Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid.
