Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Chapter 17 It’s good to be alive

The mist was thick.

The glass of the old-fashioned windows was covered with thick breath.

It's daybreak. At least six or seven hours have passed now. Why does it take so long?

The questioning voice outside the door interrupted He Xi's thoughts.

"Xiao Xi, get up and eat. Eat your fill before going back to sleep." He's mother said standing at the door.

He Xi struggled to get up and found that her skirt and bedding were stained with glaring blood. She sighed helplessly, "They all need to be cleaned. What an extra workload."

After a simple tidying up, He Xi went out to have breakfast.

By now He Xi has basically returned to normal.

Lu Jinan sat at the dinner table and turned to look at He Xi, and found that her fair little face was abnormally flushed.

He quickly stood up and stood in front of He Xi, reaching out to test the temperature of her forehead. The next moment, his brows furrowed tightly: "Why do you have a fever again? Did you kick off the quilt at night?"

He Xi: It’s not kicking, it’s not covering at all.

He pulled He Xi to sit at the table: "Eat a little, or you might feel uncomfortable after the injection."

He was carrying the bowl, scooping porridge, and passing the chopsticks.

Lu Jinan scooped the hot porridge to room temperature and picked up some side dishes, all his actions revolved around He Xi.

On the side, He's father and mother watched Lu Jinan's every move and were very satisfied.

He Fei said sourly: "It's so nice to have someone care about me. I don't even need the ability to survive."

He Fei turned around and subconsciously looked at her parents' faces and found that they were staring at her, as if saying that she was ignorant and did not understand the warnings of experienced people.

He Xi watched the interaction between the three people and seemed to understand why no one spoke last night.

Well, no one would agree to hand over their precious daughter to a man who only thinks about lunch after eating breakfast, who spends twice the money he earns, who is excited every day because he doesn't have to work, and who eats all the food while the whole family starves.

Xiao Yan's ambition is limited to eating, and eating is the only thing that can attract his attention.

The four soldiers lowered their heads to eat the food in front of them and did not dare to speak. Xiao Yi was unable to defend his brother because what the other party said was true.

After dinner, everyone went about their duties. He Xi prepared to start washing the sheets with cold water, washing the soiled areas with cold water, and washing everything with warm water, so that it would not be counted as touching cold water.

He Xi's actions always attracted Lu Jinan's attention. He stood in the middle of the yard with a sickle in his hand, looking at He Xi with an unhappy expression on his face.

He Xi just squatted down, and the sunlight above her head was blocked by a shadow. She looked up and saw Lu Jinan's tall figure. He Xi blinked and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Lu Jinan replied with his eyes: What do you think?

He Xi: What?

"Is this cold water?" Lu Jinan looked at the bed sheet in confusion, "I have to wash it. Will I die if I wait for two days?"

He Xi was not satisfied with his words: "That won't happen, but it will make you mad to death."

Lu Jinan frowned and put down the sickle in his hand: "This is just one, right? I'll wash it."

Lu Jinan gently pushed He Xi away. She was also stunned. She asked a boy who was not a stranger to her to help wash the bed sheets stained with her period's blood. This was the first time in her two lives.

The tall boy sat on a short stool, with his sleeves slightly rolled up, revealing a section of his arms with distinct veins. He began washing the sheets from one end.

Before the first section was finished, He Xi finally came back to her senses and hurriedly stopped Lu Jinan's actions: "Actually... cold water only cleans a small area, the rest still needs warm water."

"A small piece?" Lu Jinan looked for the small piece on the bed sheet that needed to be washed with cold water. "Where is it?"

Just when I was about to say no, Lu Jinan found the seat.

The glaring bloodstains made both of them embarrassed. Lu Jinan didn't know whether to wash it or not. Seeing this, He Xi quickly picked up one end of the bed sheet to cover the bloodstains: "Let me wash it."

Lu Jinan's body paused slightly, his expression was a little unnatural, and a hint of red flew across his ears. He stopped He Xi's action: "Ahem, the cow is blown, I know how to wash it, you go and have a rest."

He Xi didn't stay long and went into the house. Lu Jinan breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, He Xi appeared again holding a nightgown.

"Does it also need to be washed with cold water?" Lu Jinan's eyes were full of confusion.

He Xi clutched her nightgown awkwardly and nodded.

"Leave it there. I'll wash them one by one."

"I……"

Hearing this, Lu Jinan raised his eyes again: "What's wrong? Do you want to wash your skirt first?"

"No...let me wash it." He Xi felt her cheeks burning.

Lu Jinan narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said sincerely: "I'm officially notifying you. From now on, you will be spoiled by me. Go and have a rest."

He Xi's heartbeat quickened again.

She still turned around and went into the house obediently. She really needed to have a good rest. She lay on the kang and took a deep breath: "It's great to be alive."

Having not signed in yesterday and today, He Xi shook his left hand and summoned the system through the golden bracelet. The system control panel appeared, and a special quick-acting heart-saving pill was given for the first sign-in.

She was stunned, but she didn't have a heart disease. Wasn't this a waste of opportunity?

Then the system control panel prompted: You can take it ten seconds before your heart stops beating to escape punishment. There are thirty pills in total, six at a time, to be dissolved under your tongue.

It was a special medicine, which directly cut off He Xi’s hope of buying it in the system mall.

There are only five chances, and five risks can be avoided. Next time, I need to figure out how long the cardiac arrest will last, otherwise I will scare others.

A person who is theoretically dead, but is not dead, and is resurrected immediately when the time comes, may be used for medical experiments.

It's so scary, you must be careful.

The second time I signed in for one hundred glass bottles.

He Xi said indifferently: "This is to force me to speed up my work progress."

The system control panel reminded: If you do not complete the task, your heart will stop beating.

He Xi roared silently: Damn it, I’m bleeding heavily and you still want me to run.
