Zuo Ling was awakened by the waterfall.
The first thing that caught my attention wasn't the stench on my body, but the beans that had been spilled all over the ground by the waterfall, and the dried fruit peels and packaging bags scattered everywhere.
The waterfall patted its belly pitifully, telling Zuo Ling that it was very hungry.
My phone ran out of battery and shut down automatically.
Ignoring the waterfall's indiscriminate urination and defecation, I took out my power bank, plugged it in, and turned on my phone.
Time: 8:05 PM, January 31, 2031.
Before we knew it, it was New Year's Eve.
It's been absorbing energy crystals for several days, no wonder the waterfall is throwing a tantrum.
I scooped up the waterfall and took it to the bathroom. Whether it liked it or not, I stuffed it under the tap and scrubbed it thoroughly.
After washing it, I just left it aside and let it vent its anger.
Wash away the stench from its body before you teach it a lesson.
Unable to get comforted by Zuo Ling, Waterfall became even more temperamental, constantly stomping on Zuo Ling's feet with its little paws, making Zuo Ling so angry that she wanted to kick it out of the bathroom.
After showering, I hugged the waterfall and stepped out of the bathroom when I felt a slight chill. I shivered, and the little one shivered too.
I rushed over to check the thermometer; it read 15 degrees Celsius.
The underfloor heating in Noah's Ark is very hot, often above 26 degrees Celsius; 15 degrees Celsius is very abnormal.
Has the extreme cold arrived early?
I went out onto the balcony and looked out.
Snowflakes fluttered down, and in the distance, fireworks were being set off. Colorful fireworks bloomed amidst the romantic, swirling snowflakes, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
The extreme cold has arrived early!
Ignoring the still protesting little guy, I quickly cleaned up its little beans and turned on the floor scrubber.
Take out honeycomb briquettes and kindling briquettes from the space and put them into the living room fireplace. Light them and turn on the fireplace switch to connect to the underfloor heating.
After I finished my work, I turned on the TV.
CCTV is currently broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala. The female host, dressed in a beautiful short-sleeved cheongsam, said with a smile:
"The heavy snowfall tonight foretells a bountiful harvest next year..."
The camera panned across the audience below, and many noticed the temperature change, hugging their arms to keep warm.
Seeing that Zuo Ling ignored it, the waterfall ran out of patience and lay down on the ground to throw a tantrum.
The little guy was starving, and Zuo Ling was also very hungry after absorbing the energy crystal.
They took out a bunch of food and laid it all out on the table.
Pull out the TV's extension lever and adjust its direction to a viewing angle from the dining table.
Waterfall couldn't wait to climb onto its special dining table, its paws still clutching the little food bag, gesturing for Zuo Ling to put it on.
Put on its little food bag, pick up some of the waterfall's favorite vegetables and fruits, and put them into its food bowl.
The little guy lowered his head and wolfed down his food.
Zuo Ling stuffed a chicken leg into her mouth while glancing at the thermometer.
The fireplace didn't heat up, the indoor temperature dropped another degree, and the snow outside started falling even harder.
The beautiful host had changed from a short-sleeved shirt to a long-sleeved one, her face was pale, and some audience members had already left the audience.
The following was a song and dance performance, which was above average, but the performers were trembling.
After eating half a chicken, I felt full and less anxious.
Open WeChat and join the Noah's Ark homeowners group.
Some people said, "It's so cold at home!" and asked the property management if they were not providing proper heating because it was Chinese New Year.
The property management company responded seriously:
The community doesn't have a boiler room; Kyoto has a unified heating system. You should ask the heating company about your problem.
Someone asked:
Can't you ask around for us? We've paid so much in property management fees, it's not unreasonable for you to ask for us.
Property management: We've been trying to call, but we can't get through.
...
More and more people complained about the cold, and the property management company fell silent.
Zuo Ling knew perfectly well that it wasn't that the heating company was incompetent; it was just that it was too cold outside.
The houses on Noah's Ark have a floor height of 3.5 meters, which is taller than ordinary residential buildings.
With a larger space, the room temperature drops faster; 14 degrees Celsius indoors and -35 degrees Celsius outdoors is considered high.
After finishing its food in the waterfall plate, it waved its little paws, begging Zuo Ling to give it some more.
Seeing that it was no longer as agitated as before, Zuo Ling began to reprimand it:
"Do you know what kind of behavior it is to urinate or defecate anywhere? Who gave you permission to do that?"
The waterfall patted its belly and tilted its head to argue, "I'm hungry, I'm hungry, do you know you've been starving me for days?"
"So you just urinate and defecate anywhere? This is our home. Is it right for you to urinate and defecate anywhere in your own home?"
"I called you, but you ignored me. Is it my fault? You've been starving me to death."
The waterfall stretched its neck and whimpered, looking defiant.
Pull up the rabbit ears:
"I didn't ignore you on purpose, but you did. Your behavior is despicable. If you keep doing this, I'll throw you out."
The waterfall was furious, kicking its rabbit legs incessantly: "You wicked woman, you despicable wicked woman..."
Zuo Ling disliked it and scolded it with a dark face:
"Just this once, and don't let it happen again. If there's a next time, I'll throw you out. If you don't love our family, why should I love you?"
The waterfall got angry, refused to eat, jumped off the dining table, and ran back to its bedroom in a flash.
He went in for less than two seconds, then ran out again, lay down next to the fireplace, turned his head to one side, and refused to look in Zuo Ling's direction.
Zuo Ling found it funny; the little guy wasn't stupid at all.
The room was large, and a fireplace wasn't enough to warm up the whole room quickly; the bedroom was too cold.
Zuo Ling lit the fireplace in the bedroom and turned on the switch to connect the underfloor heating, and the room temperature slowly rose.
There's plenty of coal; she can make as much as she wants.
The TV started to have static, and the snow outside was falling like pillars. Noah's Ark was on high ground, and I wonder how many layers it would be buried tonight.
The host looked unwell and mechanically recited his lines, while the camera stopped panning to the audience.
