Since I've decided to leave, I won't drag things out.
Jiang Wan was about to drive her RV back when Cheng Zhen advised, "Driving back will make you too conspicuous; those who are secretly watching you will definitely notice."
"Then what should we do?"
"I will open a portal to time and space and send you back."
"But I also want a motorhome." In this oxygen-deprived apocalypse, travel is inconvenient. With the supplies she has stockpiled, there's no need for her to travel, but what if something happens?
She doesn't feel safe without a motorhome.
"This... is a bit too difficult."
Cheng Zhen's portal was only about the size of a normal room door. Jiang Wan's RV was taller and wider, so he really couldn't use the portal to move the entire RV.
Jiang Wan had no intention of making things difficult for him, but without a means of transportation, it was truly impossible.
Finally, Cheng Zhen came up with a compromise: "I'll send you away first, and I'll have someone modify this car so you can drive it back, okay?"
Does it mean giving this car a makeover?
Jiang Wan looked at the dark, heavily repaired RV and nodded without hesitation: "Don't make it look too bad."
So, Jiang Wan and the twins traveled light and were driven back to Yincheng Yazuo by him, while her RV, which had been changed from black to camouflage, was quietly driven back by Yu Fen three days later.
As soon as she got home, Jiang Wan busied herself cleaning the house she hadn't seen in a long time. Because the house was large, it felt unusually cold in the dead of winter, so she turned on the heating in all the rooms without a second thought.
Anyway, she uses solar power generators. By fully charging the three solar power generators during the day, she can use them all night without any burden. Even if there is an emergency, she has many backup plans in her space.
The outdoor temperature was over forty degrees below zero. During the day, the sunshine made it bearable, but at night, the temperature plummeted by more than ten degrees. Even with the heating on and two thick down comforters, Jiang Wan and her two children were still shivering from the cold as they huddled under the covers.
"Mom, I'm so cold!" Jiang Xiaoxin hugged her mother's arm, which wasn't very warm either, and shivered from the cold.
Jiang Xiaoshu silently moved closer to her younger sister. Although she didn't say anything, it was indeed very cold.
There was no heating in the three people's bed.
If this continues, they will not only be unable to sleep, but even if they do fall asleep, they will inevitably catch a cold.
She quickly got up and, thanks to the abundance of goods in the pre-apocalyptic supermarket, rummaged through the tree hole space and found hot water bottles, some rechargeable and some filled with water, in several sizes ranging from large to small.
So she stuffed a bunch of blankets around the edge of the bed, spaced out.
Then they turned off the heating in all the other rooms, turned the temperature in the master bedroom to the maximum, and then took out two small heaters and placed them diagonally across the room.
Once she crawled back into the thickly blanketed bed, she felt a little warmer. The two little ones snuggled up to her, and the three of them drifted off to sleep in the cozy warmth.
Suddenly, there was a loud banging on the master bedroom door.
Jiang Wan was startled awake from her half-asleep state. She rolled her eyes to clear her mind and then heard Cheng Zhen knocking on the door. He asked from outside, "Jiang Wan, is the power out at home?"
Perhaps because the twins were asleep, he kept his voice very low and knocked very gently.
Jiang Wan suddenly realized, oh dear, how could I forget there's someone else at home!
She turned off the heating in the other rooms, and that's how he woke up from the cold.
Jiang Wan felt very apologetic, opened the door, and said, "I'm sorry, I might have pressed the wrong button. I'll turn on the heat for you right now."
He slept in the guest room. Although each room had its own light switch, the main control was still with her.
She didn't think much of it, assuming he just hadn't found the air conditioner controller.
But as soon as she turned around, Cheng Zhen grabbed her wrist: "No need for all that trouble, I'll just sleep here."
"What?"
Jiang Wan was extremely surprised. She had allowed him to stay at her home only because he said it was for safety reasons!
But if he wants to stay in her master bedroom, that's absolutely taking advantage of her!
She could never agree to that!
But Cheng Zhen could already feel the warmth in the master bedroom and the lingering fragrance of her in the air. Then he thought about the cold guest room, which had been unoccupied for a long time and had no trace of her presence. He had a premonition that he would not be able to sleep well that night.
In order not to wrong himself, Cheng Zhen decided to be shameless to the end.
"The heating isn't working well, it's too cold. It's much warmer here."
He forcefully squeezed in, slamming the door shut behind him, and then shamelessly and overtly approached the children's bed that originally belonged to the twins.
"I'll sleep here."
Just as Jiang Wan was about to say "no," he had already taken off his coat and lay down without hesitation!
Did she agree?!
How can you be so shameless?!
Jiang Wan actually has a bit of an unspoken obsession with cleanliness. She doesn't care about anything outside, but her bedroom must be clean and tidy!
For example, you have to change out of your outer clothes and wear your pajamas into the bedroom!
You can't go to bed wearing clothes, pants, and shoes!
But at this moment, Cheng Zhen stepped on every landmine!
She felt the veins on her forehead throbbing wildly, as if they were about to explode at any moment!
"Do you still have a blanket?" Cheng Zhen closed his eyes and lay there for a while, then opened them again, looking at her with an innocent and pitiful expression. "It's too cold."
"No!"
He wants a blanket? Dream on!
Cheng Zhen looked at her with resentful, pitiful, innocent, and weak eyes, and when he was sure that she really wouldn't give him a blanket, he could only silently pull the big cotton-padded coat he had just taken off back on and put it on again.
But Jiang Wan couldn't get rid of him, nor could she just watch him sleep in the cold all night. What if he caught a cold and it ended up in the hands of the twins?
So she had no choice but to resign herself to her fate and give him a large cotton quilt, then said, "It's just for tonight, or you're kicked out of my house right now! Get out of here before they wake up tomorrow!"
She didn't want to wake up tomorrow morning with two curious children looking at her with a face full of "why" and have to explain why he was sleeping in her bedroom!
Cheng Zhen, inhaling the air that carried her sweet fragrance, slept soundly through the night. The next morning, before dawn, she was woken up by Jiang Wan, who dragged and tossed her out of the master bedroom.
The two little ones were fast asleep and naturally didn't notice that a very dangerous man had appeared in their room in the middle of the night.
During the day, Jiang Wan studied how to germinate metasequoia trees, while Cheng Zhen disguised himself and left the Silver City VIP room to attend to his own business.
That evening, Jiang Wan locked the master bedroom door early, and Cheng Zhen obediently went to sleep in the guest room.
Three days passed, and Jiang Wan finally gave in to the tree hole sap, using the diluted sap to try to help the metasequoia tree take root.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but that very night, she felt that the tree branches looked much more vibrant!
The next day, Cheng Zhen, who was usually out early and back late and never seen again, was actually still there, making breakfast for them.
Jiang Wan glanced silently out the window. The sun was rising as usual today!
"Aren't you busy today?" Jiang Wan asked him, sensing that something was up.
Cheng Zhen kept everyone in suspense: "I'm not in a hurry, I mainly want to watch the show today."
