After processing the ginger, Gu Yanzhi turned the heating on the entire 17th floor to 22 degrees Celsius. 20-25 degrees Celsius is the ideal temperature for ginger growth.
After the extreme cold began, although the 17th floor was vacant and used to store some supplies, the heating never stopped. The temperature on the 17th floor dissipated through the floor slab to the 16th floor, making the Kobayashi and Kochi families much warmer than other families.
Gu Yan knew he couldn't directly say he had supplies and could provide heating items. This was the only way he could offer his neighbors some small help.
After tidying up the room, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao went to the gym for a while before returning to the 18th floor.
"I'm going to take a shower first." After returning to her room, Gu Yanzhi took her clothes to the bathroom in the bedroom.
Gu Yanzhi filled the bathtub with hot water and took a relaxing bath. The floodwaters stopped shortly after they broke out, and the water they used for washing and bathing for the past two months had been stored in their spatial storage.
Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin would regularly check the water in the storage tank and water heater, and replenish it in time when it was almost empty.
After taking a bath, Gu Yanzhi washed her hair.
When she came out, Song Zhao had just finished showering in the shared bathroom in the living room and was drying her hair with a towel. Seeing Gu Yanzhi come out, she immediately took a new towel from the side and gently dried Gu Yanzhi's hair.
Song Zhao's hands gently yet firmly massaged his scalp, making Gu Yanzhi feel relaxed. After several days of traveling, the fatigue washed over him as soon as he rested today.
After drying Gu Yanzhi's hair, Song Zhao went to the bathroom to get a hairdryer and slowly dried it. The heat from the hairdryer made Gu Yanzhi start to feel drowsy. When Song Zhao finished drying her hair, she looked down and saw that Gu Yanzhi had fallen asleep with her head drooping.
"Know, know."
"Um?"
Go to bed.
Song Zhao gently woke Gu Yanzhi, carried the sleepy Gu Yanzhi to the bed, and covered him with a blanket.
After watching Gu Yanzhi turn over and fall into a deep sleep, she went outside and gently dried her own hair.
After drying his hair, Song Zhao went to the kitchen, chopped two pieces of ginger, and threw them into the boiling water to let it simmer. Then he found a book, sat on the sofa, and quietly began to read.
"I'm back"
At 8 p.m., the team from Building 10, who had been out logging, dragged their cold bodies home after a long day in the freezing cold.
Gu Yanlin was an exception. Because he was wearing temperature-regulating clothes, he didn't feel cold all day, except that his arms were a little sore from swinging the axe all day.
As soon as he entered the house, Gu Yanlin felt the warmth inside. He quickly put the timber he had earned that day into the storage room, then took off his clothes, shirtless and wearing only shorts, and walked into the living room.
"Put it on quickly, don't catch a cold."
Upon hearing the sound, Song Zhao shifted his attention from the book in his hand, looked up, and saw Gu Yanlin already shirtless. He quickly scolded him.
Coming back from outside, the change in temperature makes it easy to catch a cold.
"Brother-in-law, it's too hot. I'm going to take a shower first." Gu Yanlin chuckled and quickly slipped back to his room before Song Zhao could say anything else.
Gu Yanlin had just slipped back to his room when Gu Yanzhi, who was sleeping in the master bedroom, heard the noise and slowly woke up.
Gu Yanzhi rubbed her eyes and walked out of the bedroom, looking slightly languid in her pajamas.
"Zhizhi, you're awake." Song Zhao heard the noise in the master bedroom, and a beautiful smile appeared on his lips. His obsidian-like eyes shone with a soft light as he looked at Gu Yanzhi, as if he were seeing the whole world.
If Gu's former subordinates were to see this man, they would probably be astonished by his gentle and harmless demeanor, finding it hard to believe that he was once their stern and unsmiling CEO.
Gu Yanzhi was momentarily stunned as she looked at Song Zhao, her heart pounding as she expressed her love for the man.
A few minutes later, Gu Yanzhi finally came to her senses and covered her slightly flushed face with her hands.
Looking at the adorable Gu Yanzhi, Song Zhao's smile deepened even further.
"Stop laughing!" Gu Yanzhi noticed Song Zhao's laughter, quickly walked to the sofa, covered his breasts, and scolded him in embarrassment and indignation.
At the same time, she comforted herself, telling herself that this was her husband, and it wasn't shameful to be captivated by him.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh," Song Zhao replied gently, but his constantly shaking chest betrayed his amusement.
Song Zhao felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, her hands covering her face were removed, and she felt a warm, wet touch on her lips.
Song Zhao took the opportunity to pull Gu Yanzhi into his arms and deepen the kiss.
"Is Yan Lin back? I just heard his voice again."
"Yes, I'm going to take a shower."
After a long while, when Gu Yanzhi was almost unable to breathe, Song Zhao finally released her.
Sitting on the sofa, catching her breath for a while, Gu Yanzhi finally remembered that she had heard her younger brother's voice when she got up.
Gu Yanlin heard the conversation outside his room and came out of the bedroom. He greeted Gu Yanzhi and sat down on the other side of the sofa.
"Sister, I'm back."
God knows how shocking it was for him, a naive young man, to see the two of them kissing passionately on the sofa right after he finished showering. Startled, he quickly blushed and quietly retreated to his room, not daring to come out again.
"Let's eat." Gu Yanlin returned at 8 p.m., and after a delay, it was almost 9 p.m. The three of them were starving.
"How about we have hot pot today?" Gu Yanzhi suggested. Hot pot is the perfect match for this cold weather.
"Yes, yes, I agree." Gu Yanlin and Gu Yanzhi are indeed siblings; their hobbies and ideas are very similar.
Song Zhao went to the kitchen, found the yin-yang hot pot they usually used for hot pot, and boiled a pot of water.
While boiling water, she remembered the ginger soup still warm in the health pot, poured a cup out and handed it to Gu Yanlin.
"Sister, brother-in-law!" Gu Yanlin cried out, looking at the ginger soup in his hand, on the verge of tears.
He thought he'd escaped this ordeal because his brother-in-law hadn't made him drink it when he got back today, but he still couldn't avoid it. Under two pairs of menacing eyes, Gu Yanlin gritted his teeth and downed the awful stuff in one gulp. He silently prayed that all the ginger in the world would freeze to death.
"Hmm, it's pretty sweet. Sis, give me another one." While Gu Yanlin was grimacing and opening his mouth, Gu Yanzhi tossed a piece of gummy candy into his mouth. Gu Yanlin subconsciously chewed it a few times, suppressing the unpleasant taste in his mouth, and then pleaded with Gu Yanzhi for two more.
"Yes," Gu Yanzhi handed a jar of sugar to Gu Yanlin, knowing he didn't like ginger soup and had prepared it for him long ago.
Taking the candy jar, Gu Yanlin popped a few more candies into his mouth to completely suppress the nauseating taste.
