This scene stung some people's eyes, and Michelle jumped out again, asking, "Joan, how come you're all so clean? How much water did you store in your house?"
Bi Qiaoan gave Michelle a speechless look. "Michelle, aren't you tired of staring at other people every day? I beg you, can't you be a decent human being? You're like a peeping tom, staring at me and Shen Yanming every day. Are you sick in the head?"
Michelle didn't expect Bi Qiaoan to be so impolite this time, and immediately put on a wronged expression, "I, I didn't mean to, I just saw that your arms are so white and tender. If you have so much water at home, why don't you take it out for everyone to use? Look at Yu Shui and the others, they can be rubbed with mud all over their bodies!"
Before Bi Qiaoan could speak, Yu Shui objected, "I say, Michelle, are you free? You talk so nicely, but I haven't seen you bring the water for everyone to use."
All you're doing is morally blackmailing Bi Qiaoan. Did she smear your ancestral graves or something? Why can't you stand to see others doing well?
Michelle, during this dry season, Bi Qiaoan gave everyone ginger candy, distributed soybeans, told everyone to use dry shampoo, reminded everyone to stock up on vitamin C, medicated oil, and even gave me a pack of wet wipes.
So what about you, Michelle? What contribution have you made to everyone?
After saying that, Yu Shui muttered, "If you're so good, then you do it; if you're not, then shut up. What kind of person is he!"
Although Yu Shui was muttering, his voice was not quiet at all. After being lectured like that, Michelle burst into tears.
A beautiful woman shedding tears evokes pity, but Michelle's hair is now plastered to her scalp in clumps, covered in dust and dandruff. Her face and hands are covered in patches of black mud, and she exudes a "fragrance" that makes people want to stay away. Who would pity her in this state?
Michelle was both angry and embarrassed, and she stomped her foot and ran out of the office.
Seeing that there was no room for her to speak, Bi Qiaoan smiled and gave Yu Shui a thumbs up. Yu Shui proudly patted her chest, "I've disliked her for a long time. Her eyes are glued to your Shen Yanming every day. She thinks she's being discreet. Does she think everyone doesn't know?"
As soon as Yu Shui finished speaking, the office erupted in laughter. It was unclear whether Michelle had heard it or not. If she had, the fact that she was still able to come back to work showed her exceptional mental fortitude.
Even though Michelle is gone, Bi Qiaoan felt she still needed to explain, otherwise, if her colleagues had any ideas, who knows what might happen in the future.
“It was spring planting season a while ago, and Yanming and I were working in the fields every day. There was no one to help us at home, and after a few days we were covered in sweat. Ugh, we smelled terrible. I was disgusted with myself.” Bi Qiaoan said, fanning her nose with her right hand and looking disgusted.
These words resonated with many, and everyone shared their stories of farming over the past few days. For those born and raised in the city, even a little farm work felt like a life-threatening ordeal.
After everyone had finished speaking, Bi Qiaoan continued, "I was so disgusted by the stench that I washed myself with water."
Do you still have water at home?
Sure enough, some people did have an idea.
"Well, there's definitely some left. The dry season is so long, how could I dare to use it freely? It's only in the last couple of days that I've been able to use it more freely and even wash with water."
I thought, since it's rained and the water level is slowly recovering, the water supply shouldn't be restored for long!
"Qiao An, don't you know about Unknown No. 1?" Wei Qin looked at Bi Qiao An in horror. "You can't just touch the water outside. You should use it sparingly. Who knows when we'll have usable water again?"
Bi Qiaoan's eyes widened. "Is that so? I thought the Qinghe Alliance hadn't mentioned anything about Unknown No. 1 for so long, so I assumed the research institute had already figured out how to handle it. Oh no, am I going to do something stupid?"
Bi Qiaoan's silly and cute appearance made everyone laugh out loud, but Bi Qiaoan herself was all red-faced, as if her whole body was on fire.
Shen Yanming smiled and pressed Bi Qiaoan into a seat, secretly giving her a thumbs up. If it weren't for the fact that he spent every day with Bi Qiaoan, he would have really believed what she said.
Bi Qiaoan narrowly escaped a crisis, and the two's gleaming smart bracelets became the next focus of attention.
"You two are wearing matching bracelets on your wrists," Li Yueya said, looking at Bi Qiaoan with envy.
"Huh? Haha, I just put it on right away, none of you wore them?"
“Why wear that? It’s so inconvenient! You have to take it off when you’re cooking or washing your hands, and you might lose it somewhere.” Wei Qin said, touching her empty wrist.
“Aunt Wei, this is waterproof, so you don’t have to take it off when you’re working. Besides, once you put this bracelet on, you can’t take it off unless you go to the guard team and use professional tools to remove it.” Bi Qiaoan raised her left hand in surprise and pointed to the bracelet.
"Oh? Once you put it on, you can't take it off? I'm so glad I didn't wear it because I thought it was too much trouble!" Wei Qin said, still a little scared.
Bi Qiaoan...
"There must be a reason why the Qinghe Alliance is promoting this smart bracelet for free. For example, the precise positioning function. If any accident really happens, the Qinghe Alliance guard team can know your location immediately and carry out rescue. Just think how much time and effort that will save!"
Wei Qin thought it made a lot of sense after hearing this. "I used to only think about how troublesome it would be, and I didn't really read the instruction manual. But after hearing what you said, it seems quite useful!"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, and Shen Yanming added from the side, "It can reduce the crime rate and accurately count the number of residents, and obtain information such as birth rate and death rate from the side, which is of great help to Qinghe Alliance in formulating policies."
So, after Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan gave their recommendations, everyone in the office started wearing the smart bracelets, except for Michelle, who ran out...
She probably had so few friends that no one reminded her...
----------
Those close contacts who were sent to private hospitals across the country were fortunate; after a month of quarantine, they were sent home. After observation, none of them were infected with Unknown No. 1, nor were they infected with the unknown bacteria and viruses carried by Unknown No. 1.
But the patients who were sent to the gymnasium were not so lucky.
Although it has been proven that the Unknown One infected person is not infectious, the research institute has tried many drugs, but they just cannot kill the bacteria and viruses carried by the Unknown One.
Although the infected individuals' conditions did not worsen, they continued to suffer daily from excruciating pain—skin, flesh, and bones ached—making their lives feel worse than death...
