"It's been five minutes, are you sure you don't need to call these two?" Cheng Zhi said while eating a steamed bun.
Xiao Feiran, who was sitting on the ground applying medicated oil, was wincing in pain. "Ouch, if you tap their knees, they'll wake up in a minute."
Hey! That's a good idea. As soon as Cheng Zhi stepped forward, the two people who had just been frozen in place instantly began to move.
Looking at the exquisitely decorated five-bedroom, two-living room, four-bathroom apartment in front of me, along with the small garden outside, I felt a sense of peace.
806 feels like a dream. I originally thought the space could only expand horizontally, but I never expected it could also expand vertically, directly completing a magnificent transformation from a six-person dormitory to a large flat.
Huang Yiyi was still in a daze. She walked from the dining room through the living room to the balcony until she saw the green vegetable sprouts on the ground, and then she felt a little more real.
Exhausted and bewildered, Chen Siyu touched the cold tiles and chuckled twice, "So many books in exchange for a large apartment, it's worth it."
With a steamed bun in her mouth, Cheng Zhi came over and scooped up Chen Siyu, who was slumped on the ground, and began massaging her shoulders and arms.
The pressure on her aching bones made Chen Siyu's face contort in pain. "Ouch—it hurts! Stop pressing! I'll just sleep it off."
After swallowing the last bite of her steamed bun, Cheng Zhi pointed to the express delivery box against the wall, her interest piqued. "The cafeteria and supermarket don't have much stuff. The three of us will still have plenty of time after we finish packing. We'll go into the express delivery station and move the station's contents too. We'll all open the blind boxes together this afternoon!"
Looking at the twenty or thirty boxes, Chen Siyu was very puzzled. "Has someone already looted the courier station before us? Or are all the college students desperate for money lately? How come such a big courier station only has these few boxes?"
Xiao Feiran, who was organizing the freezers in the kitchen across the way, replied, "That's definitely impossible. The two rooms inside are already full, reaching the ceiling. These few can't fit in, so they're placed here."
All five of them were exhausted. They ate a few bites haphazardly, then quickly took a shower and went to bed.
I slept with my head covered until after 2 p.m., when I was woken up by loud knocking on the door.
Cheng Zhi was the first to wake up. She grabbed her stun gun and went to the door. Looking through the peephole, she saw it was her classmate from next door, and then she put down her weapon.
As soon as the door opened, Liu Min, a female classmate with short hair, asked, "Cheng Zhi, do you still have any large rolls of transparent tape in your dorm? Our dorm's glass door was smashed last night, and it's letting in wind and rain through the crack."
Cheng Zhi didn't say much. She took the little bit of tape she had left and figured she wouldn't use it all up.
Hearing the sound, everyone woke up one after another. The first thing to do was rush into the space to water and fertilize the land.
With more land available, Zheng Wan and Cheng Zhi discussed what to plant on the extra plots, ultimately deciding on crops like potatoes and sweet potatoes. In the apocalypse, they needed to ensure their basic needs were met before worrying about a balanced diet.
"Wow! Friends, the hen laid eggs, two!" Xiao Feiran, who was cleaning the henhouse, found two eggs and was overjoyed.
Cheng Zhi and Zheng Wan came over upon hearing the news, examining the eggs from all angles. Zheng Wan held the eggs in her hands like treasures, exclaiming, "Then we'll have chicks soon!"
Cheng Zhi shook her head and carefully put the egg back into the nest. "Not necessarily. It needs to be fertilized to hatch into a chick. Otherwise, it's just an ordinary egg."
Hearing this, Zheng Wan was somewhat disappointed.
Xiao Feiran ran off halfway through cleaning the chicken coop. While rummaging through a pile of things, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she held something up. "Look, it's the incubator that was sold bundled with the chickens. Why don't you try incubating it and you'll know?"
“Why not just let the chickens incubate it themselves? Using a machine wastes electricity,” Zheng Wan said, puzzled. Xiao Feiran quickly plugged it in and said with a smile, “A hen incubates eggs without ever leaving her side. What if these are unfertilized eggs? She’ll keep incubating them, and then she’ll get sick and die. We only have two hens.”
Zheng Wan suddenly realized that Master Xiao was indeed very thoughtful.
After planting the vegetables and cleaning the chicken and rabbit hutches, the five of them carried the packages out and sat in the living room to open the blind boxes.
Tissues, rye bread, foundation, potato chips... The four people opened their boxes smoothly, and what they found were all very ordinary things that college students would use.
Chen Siyu, on the other hand, was more impressive. She opened three empty boxes in a row. When she opened the fourth one, she was completely dumbfounded. Half a box contained baby condoms, and the other half contained whips, handcuffs... everything imaginable.
"Are college students these days really this adventurous?" Xiao Feiran picked up a bunch of condoms and examined them closely. "Wow! They're glow-in-the-dark. Dude, you're really curious!"
"Oh my god, can this thing really restrain people?" Cheng Zhi played with the handcuffs.
Huang Yiyi and Zheng Wan were laughing hysterically. "He actually bought it using his real name! He's so honest, hahaha!"
Chen Siyu felt a chill in her heart. She wrote the four big words "Yellow and Violent Boy" on the box with a marker and left the living room. She didn't want to open the package anymore, afraid of finding any more surprises. She decided to go cook instead.
Boil water to cook the rice noodles, then add some shredded wood ear mushrooms and greens, fry five eggs, and break up some dried bean curd sticks. Finally, put everything in the pot, and a bowl of snail rice noodles is ready.
The five of them slurped up a mouthful of noodles, and all the fatigue of the day vanished.
Cheng Zhi took a sip of the soup, tears welling up in her eyes. "The snail rice noodles on the first floor of the cafeteria are my lifelong love!"
Xiao Feiran dipped the fried egg in the soup for a moment, then took a bite, her mouth full of broth. "This egg is so delicious!"
Chen Siyu slurped up a mouthful of noodles triumphantly, "I watched so many tutorials, and I didn't waste a single egg. I perfectly replicated it!"
Sitting across from her, Huang Yiyi gave a thumbs up, "Although you're not doing well running a courier business, you're really good at cooking snail rice noodles, they're delicious!"
The mere mention of express delivery made Chen Siyu's face darken, and she remembered that box full of lewd and violent stuff.
Zheng Wan swallowed a mouthful of noodles and patted Chen Siyu reassuringly, "I just checked. The reason those three boxes were empty is because they were filled with books, so they were absorbed by the space as soon as they were thrown in. As for the box, well, it's normal for a college student to have some brilliant ideas."
Like a kitten being stroked, Chen Siyu nodded obediently. Yes, it must be someone else's problem. How could it be that her hands were smelly? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
The other four exchanged glances, desperately suppressing the urge to smile. They knew that Chen Siyu's smelly hands were the result of countless experiments.
From my freshman year, whenever there was a lecture that required drawing lots, Chen Siyu was selected at least eight times out of ten.
I've been buying sports lottery tickets every month for the past three years, and I've never won.
She's been buying blind boxes for five years, and even if she buys twenty of them, she still won't get the one she likes.
While others use one umbrella every three years, she has changed six umbrellas in three years. As long as she uses it for more than a week, the umbrella will break down prematurely in ways that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Chen Siyu refused to accept this reality. She figured attending lectures was just a way to cultivate her mind, and buying lottery tickets and blind boxes was all about the fun, so she'd still buy them. As for the umbrella, she could just borrow one from her roommates. She firmly believed that as long as she didn't give up, there were always more solutions than problems; in short, she just wouldn't admit she had bad luck.
