Qiao He tilted her head slightly, "You little burden, why are you looking at me like that? Eat."
Is this big, clumsy guy too embarrassed to eat?
When we hired him as a thug, we promised he'd have his food and lodging provided.
She had been eating for most of the day, but Bo Shiwu hadn't taken a single bite. Instead, he had been staring at her face for a long time.
Is there something dirty on her face?! Like last time, was there cat hair?
Qiao He couldn't help but touch her face, but there was nothing there.
At this moment, Bo Shiwu withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and awkwardly stuffed meat into his mouth.
I ate a little too quickly.
He choked on the chili oil and coughed awkwardly, covering his thin lips with his hand.
Qiao He was both amused and exasperated: "Eat slowly, I'm not going to fight you for it."
As they spoke, Qiao He caught a glimpse of the man's reddened eyes from coughing, and the ripples in his peach blossom eyes.
Qiao He thought to herself: God is really unfair, giving this man such a perfect appearance.
The thought only lasted a second before she started showing off her food again.
No matter who's sitting opposite her, it doesn't affect how fast she cooks.
So, just as Bo Shiwu was getting a little tired, she discovered that Qiao He, this ordinary "weak woman," had already shown off all the ingredients.
Thin Mist: "..."
Didn't we agree that she wouldn't fight him for it?
It was only a little late, and then it was gone.
Qiao He, the lazybones, took a big gulp of iced cola. "I'm still not full. You'll have to go get some more ingredients, you little burden!"
Bo Shiwu: "...Okay."
It has to be said that Qiao He is probably the most capable girl Bo Shiwu has ever met.
After enjoying a delicious hot pot meal, Qiao He nestled on the sofa, scrolling through Weibo while digesting the food.
There were thousands upon thousands of private messages, making Qiao He dizzy from reading them all.
There's too much useless information in there. On the rare occasions when someone genuinely wants to help her find her cat, the photos of stray cats they send aren't even from her.
Qiao He felt a splitting headache; what else could she do?
Let's go check out the garbage transfer station near the villa tomorrow...
As she was thinking this, Bo Shiwu washed her hands and came to the living room, saying in a low voice, "Miss Qiao, please rest well. I'm going out now."
Qiao He responded softly, "I understand..."
The power grid for the villa wasn't finished yet, but the doors and windows had all been replaced.
So there's no fear of anyone trying to climb in at night; even if they do, there are surveillance cameras and alarms inside the door.
The system has recorded the faces of Qiao He, Bo Shiwu, and the kittens.
Besides them, no matter who comes in, even a strange stray cat, the surveillance alarm will sound immediately.
Qiao He fell into a deep sleep.
Then she had a nightmare in which she was drenched in sweat, as if she were trapped in a sauna, so hot that she could hardly breathe.
It's so hot...it's unbearably hot!
Feeling heavy and suffocated in my chest...
Before long, the sauna in my dream turned into lava!
Qiao He opened her eyes wide in horror, only to hear a plaintive and worried meow from a cat!
She woke up—
Qiao He's eyes widened as she gasped for breath, feeling like she was about to suffocate.
At that moment, she was shocked to discover that the temperature inside the room was extremely high!
Just as it was the hottest time of day, she hurriedly went to turn on the lights, only to find that the power was out.
It turns out there was a power outage; no wonder it was so muggy.
Qiao He opened the window, and a wave of heat hit her.
The kittens, who live in the same room as her, are meowing because of the heat.
Qiao He wiped away her sweat, took out the thermometer she had prepared, and glanced at it using the flashlight on her phone.
Good heavens!
45 degrees? !
In the middle of the night, did God give humanity a 45-degree angle?
Luckily, the power went out!
Is this going to kill off all of humanity at once?
Qiao He felt extremely annoyed. She first checked on the kittens and found that apart from Qiao Ju lying on the ground and weakly meowing twice, Qiao Li and Qiao Yin were fine.
Cats naturally have a higher body temperature than humans, but in this sweltering heat, Qiao He was worried that her kittens might also suffer from heatstroke.
She immediately took out some ice from her spatial storage and placed it near Qiao Ju, and also took out some water for the babies to drink.
It looks like this night will be extremely difficult.
Qiao He frowned slightly as she thought of her burden.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiao He went into the courtyard. "A burden?"
The door to the small house in the courtyard opened, and Bo Shiwu frowned and said, "Miss Qiao, you're awake too."
"Of course... I almost died from the heat." Qiao He felt a pang of heart palpitation; when she woke up from the heat, she really thought she was going to faint from heatstroke.
A sudden power outage is unbearable for anyone.
However, Qiao He had already anticipated this, but she didn't expect the power outage to happen earlier than expected.
"Don't stay in the small room, come in first," Qiao He said softly.
Thin fog nodded; the temperature inside and outside was now almost the same.
But it's better to have someone around, because if the other person gets delirious from the heat, at least the other person can take care of them.
Bo Shiwu was still hesitating, but if Qiao He hadn't come out yet, he decided to go and call for help.
In such hot weather, quite a few people have died in their sleep in the middle of the night.
He was afraid something might happen to Qiao He.
Thankfully, Qiao He was alright, and Bo Shiwu was relieved.
Qiao He led Bo Shiwu to her bedroom. Bo Shiwu felt very awkward and didn't know where to look.
"We bought a generator beforehand, which can keep the refrigerator running," Qiao He said in a low voice.
"The ice cubes were taken from the refrigerator. Let's stay in this bedroom for now," Qiao He explained.
