Walking to the broken window, Ye Jingmo took out his tools and completely dismantled the window.

The whistling wind rushed in through the empty window, making Jiang Li shiver and her nose run.

In the cold wind, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo replaced the entire window as quickly as possible.

Then they went up to the third floor and, as before, replaced the broken window.

Jiang Li looked at the brand-new glass window and clapped her hands with satisfaction.

Now all that's left is the solar panels on the roof.

This is hard to find at the market.

She specifically ordered the goods from the base's online store, and they should be delivered in a couple of days.

After cleaning up the dust from the newly replaced windows, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo went downstairs to the first floor.

Ye Jingmo walked into the kitchen, scooped the blended mango puree into a clean white plate, added mango chunks, pomelo pulp, sago, and small glutinous rice balls on top, and then added a small bunch of mint leaves on top.

A bowl of delicious and visually appealing mango pomelo sago dessert is ready.

Jiang Li scooped a spoonful of the chilled mango sago into her mouth, and her eyes immediately squinted happily.

It's so delicious!

Ye Jingmo looked up and saw Jiang Li's blissful expression, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.

Why do you want it?

Jiang Li mumbled indistinctly as she looked up at Ye Jingmo.

"Your cheeks are so chubby from eating, I can't resist pinching them."

Ye Jingmo covered the smile on his lips with his fist, afraid that Jiang Li would see it and become angry.

After finishing afternoon tea, Jiang Li felt energetic and, thinking that she had nothing better to do, decided to take her outside to repair the small house.

She and Ye Jingmo first shoveled away the snow next to the cabin, revealing an open space.

Jiang Li took out cement, stones, sand and other materials from the space and placed them on the open ground.

Ye Jingmo climbed the ladder and completely dismantled the bamboo roof of the hut.

Jiang Li walked to the wall damaged by the hail and filled it with cement.

However, there were relatively few damaged areas in the walls; the main issue was the large hole cracked in the roof.

Jiang Li climbed up the ladder to the roof and placed the four rectangular wooden pieces she had prepared in the space on top.

Jiang Li plans to make the roof of the cabin a slightly sloping flat roof.

On the innermost wall, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo made four small holes according to the plan, stuffed the wood into them, and sealed them with cement.

The two then laid a layer of bricks on the roof and applied cement to fix it in place.

For aesthetic purposes, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo used tools to level the cement, keeping it on the same horizontal line.

Jiang Li looked at the roof she had finished and said with considerable pride:

"I never thought I had a talent for civil engineering. If this were before the apocalypse, I would have definitely become a big boss in the engineering industry."

"Forget about the big boss, you might be able to get a small boss position, but if I let you work a couple more days, you'll go on strike."

Ye Jingmo mercilessly exposed Jiang Li's lies.

"It's just talk, maybe it'll actually happen in the future."

Jiang Li was just saying it casually and didn't take it seriously.

By the time the two finished cleaning the small house, the sun was already setting. Jiang Li felt sore and tired all over, and was also hot and thirsty.

The sweat soaked into her clothes, making her feel like she smelled of sweat all over.

Back inside, I rushed to the bathroom for a shower.

When Jiang Li came out of the bathroom, Ye Jingmo had already prepared the meal.

A simple home-style dish: braised beef tenderloin with scallions and bean sprouts with glass noodles.

The steaming food emitted an enticing aroma, and Jiang Li couldn't resist eating more than a bowl of rice, until she was completely stuffed.

Out of desperation, she raced on the treadmill for over half an hour to relieve the tightness in her chest.

The next morning.

Ye Jingmo kneaded six corn cakes with corn flour and baked them in the oven. He also ground soybeans that he had soaked the night before into soy milk.

After filtering the soy milk and adding a little sugar for flavoring, Ye Jingmo brought the corn cakes and soy milk to the dining table.

Jiang Li is still not up?

Ye Jingmo looked up at the clock on the wall. Jiang Li would usually be up by now.

He walked to Jiang Li's bedside and was about to call her when he noticed that her face was flushed with a sickly redness, and she was murmuring incessantly, as if in pain.

"Lili, are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Li woke up slowly upon hearing the noise.

"Brother Mo..."

A hoarse sound, like sawing wood, came from Jiang Li's mouth.

Jiang Li was startled by her own voice.

"I think I have a fever. I feel weak all over, and my throat feels like I've swallowed razor blades... cough cough."

Jiang Li struggled to utter the words.

Ye Jingmo took out the first-aid kit, found the thermometer inside, and put it on Jiang Li.

While waiting for Jiang Li's temperature to come out, Ye Jingmo went to the bathroom to get a towel, wet it with cold water, and applied it to Jiang Li's forehead.

Feeling the coolness, Jiang Li's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

Ye Jingmo took out a thermometer and saw that it read 39.8 degrees Celsius.

This temperature is no joke.

"Lili, take a bowl of porridge out of your space, eat a little to fill your stomach first, and then take the fever reducer."

Ye Jingmo took out a fever reducer and placed it beside him, worried that Jiang Li might have a stomachache if she took the medicine on an empty stomach.

Jiang Li shook her head. She didn't feel hungry at all and had no appetite whatsoever.

"Be a good girl and eat just a little bit, no more. Otherwise, how will you get better?"

Ye Jingmo coaxed Jiang Li in a low voice.

Jiang Li endured the discomfort, ate a few mouthfuls of porridge to fill her stomach, and then took the fever-reducing medicine.

Ye Jingmo covered Jiang Li with a blanket and told her to rest well and let her fever come down.

Thinking of Jiang Li's hoarse voice just now, Ye Jingmo took two pears from the refrigerator, cut them into small pieces, put them in a pot, added some fritillaria cirrhosa, rock sugar and honey, and simmered them over low heat.

After the liquid in the cup became thick, Ye Jingmo turned off the heat, scooped out a spoonful, poured it into the cup, and put the rest in the refrigerator to chill.

Ye Jingmo takes Jiang Li's temperature every hour.

Jiang Li's body temperature would go down after she took the medicine and sweated, but it would start to rise again in less than an hour.

Ye Jingmo could only use some ice and alcohol to physically cool Jiang Li down.

However, this was not effective, and Jiang Li still had a fever.
