The girl's smile was like a soft cream puff with a sweet warmth.
Bo Shiwu's mood brightened instantly, and no matter how heavy the rain was outside, it couldn't affect his mood at that moment.
The aroma of sukiyaki filled the air between the two of them.
Qiao He suddenly heard the mechanical voice of the "Playing it Off" system: [Bo Shiwu's favorability +10!]
Upon hearing this, Qiao He was completely stunned.
She truly hadn't expected that Bo Shiwu's favorability rating would continue to increase...
What is this man thinking?
Does he...do he like her?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Qiao He immediately looked away, not daring to look at Bo Shiwu again.
She didn't think Bo Shiwu would like her.
As someone who has never been in a relationship, Qiao He doesn't know much about love and romance.
Perhaps Bo Shiwu doesn't actually like her?
Affection level doesn't necessarily equate to love!
There are many kinds of liking!
Thinking this way, Qiao He felt less awkward.
When Qiao He heard that Bo Shiwu had given her favorability points, her heart skipped a beat.
"Well, I'll head out now. Just call me if you need any help."
After saying this, Qiao He heard Bo Shiwu's deep and pleasant voice: "Yes, Miss Qiao."
Qiao He frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "We've known each other for so long, there's no need to keep calling me Miss Qiao, it feels weird..."
Bo Shiwu was slightly taken aback. He chuckled, a gentle smile on his handsome face, as if a flower on a high mountain were bathed in sunlight.
"What should I call you? I'll do whatever you say." Bo Shiwu said softly, his deep blue eyes gazing quietly at Qiao He.
Qiao He coughed lightly: "Either is fine, you can call me Qiao He."
Bo Shiwu nodded slightly and replied, "Okay, Qiao He."
The name Qiao He was like a small stone, gently falling into Qiao He's heart.
Then, it stirred up thousands of shallow ripples on the calm, windless water...
Qiao He felt her ears turn a little red, and she subconsciously wiped them before saying, "Hey! It's much better to call me that, isn't it!"
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Bo Shiwu's eyes. He said in a low voice, "Well, then you're not allowed to call me a burden."
Qiao He raised an eyebrow slightly and said with a smile, "That won't do, then I'll have to call you a burden~"
"I'm used to calling you that!" Qiao He looked at him with a smile.
She thought "burden" sounded nice, and besides Qiao He, no one else called him that.
It seems to have a sense of exclusivity.
However, Qiao He was unaware of this at that time.
Bo Shiwu chuckled helplessly, a hint of indulgence appearing in his eyes: "Only the magistrate needs to set fires?"
Qiao He smiled, revealing a set of pearly white teeth: "That's right, commoners aren't allowed to light lamps~"
Bo Shiwu smiled helplessly, said nothing, and continued preparing the ingredients.
Qiao He went out of the kitchen and then began cleaning the living room.
The living room is spacious and fully furnished, but it's covered in dust. It will be fine after a little cleaning.
The terrain here is very high, so even if it rains heavily, it will eventually cause flooding.
This area is also less likely to be flooded.
If the rain becomes too heavy later on, Qiao He will lead everyone to take refuge on a higher hill.
Although mudslides can occur in some areas, which can be dangerous.
But it's safer to go to the top of the mountain than to be swept away by the flood.
Of course, this is on the premise that the mountains there are not prone to mudslides.
Qiao He had already identified these areas and circled them on the map.
The torrential rains have just begun, and the typhoon has not yet made landfall.
If it really comes to the worst, Qiao He will leave here in advance.
In the face of natural disasters, survival is the most important thing.
Qiao He's eyes darkened slightly. These past few days, she had been keeping a close eye on the other three missing kittens.
I wonder how they are doing...
What Qiao He didn't know was that Qiao Fei and Qiao Jin were still in the cave at this time.
Since the torrential rains started, most of the surviving animals have reappeared.
After all, the weather wasn't that hot, and animals trying to survive would definitely come out to forage for food and water.
Although Qiao Jin was starving, she knew she could endure it as long as she could.
After all, going out hunting is not an easy thing for them.
Although Qiao Fei has a strange ability to control the soil.
But every time Qiao Fei used that strange ability, he would become extremely weak.
Fortunately, Qiao Jin was very strong, and it was no problem for her to escape with Qiao Fei.
But what if we really encounter our natural enemy!
Qiao Jin alone cannot survive.
So the two cats tried to save money, hoping to wait until the rain subsided before setting off to find Qiao He.
Qiao He also hopes to find the kitten as soon as possible.
but……
I haven't been able to get any clues about the kitten from the random gift packs.
Qiao He decided not to force herself to think about it. While eating sukiyaki, she pondered how to alleviate Lin Qiao's pain.
She has lung cancer and coughs frequently at night, sometimes even coughing up black blood.
Qiao He was particularly aware that cancer is an incurable disease for humans.
She simply asked the dormant system: "Is there any way to cure cancer?"
The "Playing it Off" system checked and concluded: "There's nothing we can do in your dimension."
Qiao He keenly grasped the meaning of the word "plane".
On a sudden inspiration, she asked directly: "Does that mean there are effective cancer drugs in other dimensions?"
The "Slacking Off" System: [...]
Suddenly I felt like I was being tricked into talking; humans are just too cunning.
So the dormant system had no choice but to say: "That's true, but..."
"But what? Tell me quickly!" Qiao He asked anxiously.
The "Playing it Off" system sighed: [You'll need to draw from the random gift pack or redeem it in the system shop.]
Qiao He browsed the system shop and said dejectedly, "[No, there's nothing there.]"
There are only medications for treating external injuries or vaccines. There are drugs related to cancer, but they are all just temporary relief, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
Regardless of the type of medication, a high level of emotional sensitivity is required.
Qiao He felt that she couldn't just buy things casually right now.
Although Lin Qiao's condition was bad, it was not to the point where she could not survive.
Therefore, the emotion value cannot be used for this purpose for the time being. Qiao He still needs random gift packs related to superpowers.
If she's lucky enough to get a healing ability from a random gift pack, maybe her mother-in-law's cancer could actually be cured.
Qiao He thought for a moment and then took out some medications from her storage space to relieve Lin Qiao's pain.
That's all we can do...
That night, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck.
Qiao He was startled awake.
She was a light sleeper to begin with, and when she woke up, all five kittens were sleeping soundly beside her.
Qiao He let out a sigh of relief; she wanted to go back to sleep, but then she heard Lin Qiao coughing violently from next door…
