"Okay, I was just thinking you'd be waiting for me outside." Xu Lin took the towel and dried her hair.
"Isn't there electricity in the space? Finish drying your hair before you come out."
"Okay, next time. Hey, how did you know I could enter the space?"
"I already knew, but I'll pretend I didn't know if you don't tell me."
"Listen to my excuses."
"No need to make excuses, I know what you're thinking. It's good that you're keeping a close eye on me. You don't need to hide it from me next time."
"Oh, thank you."
Xu Lin looked at Zhou Pin and sincerely thanked him for his tolerance and companionship, his unconditional trust in her, and for leaving all the supplies with her. She was also grateful that he wasn't angry because of her concealment.
"Come on, give me your hand."
Zhou Pin handed his hand to Xu Lin, and Xu Lin silently said "enter," and the two of them entered the space.
"This is your space?"
Although I had known about the existence of the space for a long time and had seen Xu Lin perform countless times, Zhou Pin was still very shocked when he actually entered the space.
"Yes, this is my first time bringing people in here. Let me show you around. This is a house that can store fresh food. You don't have to worry about the things in it spoiling. Each room can hold an unlimited amount of the same type of supplies."
"This feature is great. What time is displayed on the screen above?"
"It's the time spent in the space. It increases a little bit every day. The space also increases a little bit when it swallows what it wants. I've accumulated it for a long time to reach the current 132 hours."
"I'll try not to come in here again, so I can save more time to save my life in a critical moment."
“I thought so too, but look at this huge expanse of land outside, it’s such a waste to leave it empty. I tried using my mind to operate it before, but it was too energy-consuming, so I only planted this little bit.”
"We can plant them together from now on, and it'll be faster."
"Okay, let me show you the supplies I've collected."
Xu Lin led Zhou Pin on a tour of the space. Although she knew what she had in her space, Xu Lin was still very happy to take stock of it again. Finally, she didn't have to worry about going hungry.
Two dogs emerged from the space, panting, and walked towards Xu Lin. Xu Lin quickly took out water for them to drink.
“It’s already this hot at 30 degrees Celsius, what will we do when it gets to 40 or 50 degrees? Shave their fur!” Xu Lin asked Zhou Pin, looking up at him.
“Shaving them won’t really solve anything, but it might make them feel less hot. Aren’t there some temperature-controlled suits in the space? Take them out and put them on; you’ve already started sweating.”
“Yes, thermal suits. I don’t know if the others are wearing them.” As she spoke, Xu Lin took out two thermal suits from her space and handed one to Zhou Pin.
After changing their clothes, the two prepared to shave the two little ones. They had previously acquired a lot of pet supplies, including a considerable number of shaving tools.
Xu Lin held the razor, looking ready to pounce, which scared the dogs so much they backed away. In the end, Zhou Pin took the razor and shaved them. Although it was his first time, the result was pretty good, and Shuke went to admire himself in the mirror.
"Your skills are pretty good. You can cut my hair next time. Oh, by the way, how have you been getting your hair cut these past few months?"
"Why do you think I cut them so well?"
Xu Lin seemed to know.
It was too hot to eat stir-fried dishes at night, so Xu Lin took out some cold noodles she had bought earlier from her space and the two of them ate them. They were still cool to the touch, and with two cups of iced cola, happiness was just around the corner!
"Zhou Pin, look, all the ice outside has melted." After finishing their meal, Zhou Pin washed the dishes, while Xu Lin stood by the window looking outside.
"The water outside will evaporate in a few days." Zhou Pin wiped his hands and came out of the kitchen, walking behind Xu Lin and wrapping his arms around her waist.
