Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

"Brother Mo, have you seen the news about the volcanic eruption in Japan?"

Jiang Li walked barefoot into the study and pushed open the door to see Ye Jingmo sitting at the computer desk.

Ye Jingmo did not answer Jiang Li's question. He frowned slightly and focused his gaze on Jiang Li's bare, white feet exposed on the floor.

"I'll take a pair of slippers from the room and put them on. I always tell you to keep warm, because your hands and feet get so cold in winter. And now you're standing barefoot on the tiles."

Jiang Li pursed her lips speechlessly; Ye Jingmo always nitpicked these kinds of details.

Even though she was discussing important matters with him, he always acted like a "dad," Jiang Li thought to herself.

But she deftly took out slippers from her storage space and put them on.

Jiang Li's familiarity with Ye Jingmo since childhood has made her accustomed to listening to his "earnest teachings".

"It's hard to say whether this volcanic eruption is a prelude to a natural disaster, after all, only volcanic eruptions in Japan are not in your memory."

"It's also possible that Japan's actions have provoked public outrage."

Jiang Li suddenly added, thinking of the disgusting things Japan had done, and her heart couldn't help but burn with raging fire.

Ye Jingmo paused for a moment, then continued.

"But for safety's sake, you should stay here in the villa area for now. I'll go back to the old house to bring Pudding over and take care of a few things."

Jiang Li suddenly looked up: "You're going back by yourself?"

"It's safe here, so I feel at ease letting you stay here. I'll be back soon, don't worry."

Ye Jingmo did not expect Jiang Li to react so strongly, and immediately tried to comfort her.

Jiang Li stared intently at Ye Jingmo, her face filled with stubbornness.

"I want to go back with you. Don't even think about leaving me alone."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingmo remained silent, leaned back in his chair, and sighed silently.

It's not yet time for the natural disasters that Jiang Li remembers, so keeping her in the villa is just a precaution.

Since she wants to go back together, then let's go back together, so she won't sneak over by herself later.

Ye Jingmo thought of his first day of elementary school, when he made Jiang Li stay at home and wait for him to come home from school.

When they arrived at the school gate, they discovered that Jiang Li had secretly slipped away from the adults and followed him to the school.

The adults in her family were frantic with worry as they searched for her.

Ye Jingmo recalled Jiang Li, who looked like a little steamed bun back then, and he chuckled softly, feeling both helpless and indulgent.

Jiang Li was cuter when she was little; she was obedient and clingy, and she would do whatever you said.

Jiang Li packed all the furniture in the villa into the space and then locked all the doors to the rooms.

When they returned to their old house, the streets were already full of people rushing to work.

Jiang Li opened the door and was met with Pudding's resentful gaze.

Woof~ You humans have no conscience, leaving me, a dog, all alone at home again.

Jiang Li felt a pang of guilt under Jiang Li's gaze, so she squatted down, rubbed Pudding's fluffy head, and whispered an apology to it.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have left Pudding at home. Now let me show you how your new home is. Don't be angry, okay? I know Pudding is the most generous."

Her gentle words captivated Pudding.

Pudding raised its proud head and rubbed against Jiang Li's face.

Woof~ I forgive you this time, but don't do it again.

Suddenly, screams, louder and louder, came from afar.

Pudding was so frightened that her fur stood on end. She shielded Jiang Li behind her and whispered a warning towards the window.

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately stood up and turned to meet Ye Jingmo's eyes.

Ye Jingmo gave her a look that everything was alright, then quickly walked to the window, pulled back the curtains, and looked outside.

Older residential buildings are generally shorter, but the one where Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li live was built later and is 11 stories high.

The two lived on the eighth floor, and they could still barely see anything below.

Despite the clear sky, a torrential downpour was pouring down.

Raindrops fell to the ground, sending up wisps of white smoke, and the greenery in the community was visibly withering.

People on the street covered their bare skin and howled in pain.

The young man reacted quickly, pulling his clothes up to cover his head and face and rushing into the building.

The elderly man moved slowly and collapsed from the excruciating pain after only a few steps.

Acid rain has arrived a week early!

Jiang Li's face turned deathly pale, and the power of this acid rain was even greater than in her previous life.

In my past life, I didn't feel much when acid rain fell on me; it was only after the government issued a notice that I realized it was acid rain.

Ye Jingmo stepped forward and gently patted Jiang Li's head.

Feeling the warmth on her head, Jiang Li's twisted thoughts slowly unraveled.

So what if a natural disaster comes earlier?

They have already stockpiled tens of millions of yuan worth of supplies.

Even if acid rain is powerful, so what?

With Brother Mo by her side, there's nothing she can't get through.

Jiang Li's fluctuating emotions calmed down, and she walked back to the sofa and sat down.

"We definitely can't go back to the villa now. We can only wait until the acid rain stops in a month before we go back."

Jiang Li held Pudding, who had run up to her, in her arms and said helplessly.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

Ye Jingmo sat down next to Jiang Li and picked up the TV remote to turn it on.

The television broadcast an emergency news report that high-acidity rainstorms were hitting all over the country, warning people not to go out.

The hospital is now overcrowded and has admitted many patients with skin burns caused by acid rain.

Jiang Li opened her phone, and the top three trending topics on Weibo were all about acid rain.

Clicking on it, the number of discussions below has already exceeded 100,000.

Some say this was caused by a volcanic eruption in Japan, and that Japan's responsibility should be strongly condemned.

Some people say this must be caused by severe environmental pollution, and is nature's punishment for humanity.

Some people said this was a harbinger of natural disasters and the end of the world, but such comments were deleted as soon as they appeared.

"Residents are asked to stay home patiently and wait for the acid rain to stop. If needed, please call the community service hotline."

An announcement came over the loudspeaker downstairs, essentially telling everyone not to worry and that the government would ensure everyone's normal life.

Jiang Li tossed her phone aside and took out the large red bucket she had stored in her storage space.

She needed to get water from the restroom. Acid rain would quickly pollute the water source, leading to water scarcity. She would have to wait until the government developed special water purification tablets to purify the water before it could be drunk.

She wants to stockpile as much water as possible while there is still some stored.

Ye Jingmo also stepped forward to help, one person filling the water tap in the bathroom, and the other using a spoon to scoop water into a bucket in the kitchen.

Time often flies when you have something to do.

After filling the red bucket I bought in the space with water, the sky had already turned gloomy.

Looks like my water bill is going to be off the charts this month.

Jiang Li shrugged, but by then no one will come to collect it.

Jiang Li tried to find joy amidst his suffering.
