"Pudding, come over here for training."

Pudding wagged its tail, glanced reluctantly at the treadmill and Jiang Li, before leisurely walking to Ye Jingmo's side.

Ye Jingmo resolved the battle between the man and the dog over the treadmill with just one sentence.

"Huff..." Jiang Li gasped for breath, her clothes soaked with sweat, and her arms were too heavy to lift. She knew she had reached her limit.

Jiang Li pressed the slow walking button, adjusted her breathing, and relaxed her tense muscles.

After walking slowly for half an hour, Jiang Li got off the treadmill and gave her spot to Pudding.

"superior."

At Ye Jingmo's command, Pudding transformed into an arrow and flew onto the treadmill.

Jiang Li went into the bathroom and simply rinsed away the sweat and fatigue with hot water.

These days of being able to take showers whenever we want won't last much longer, so of course we should enjoy them as much as we can while we can.

Jiang Li walked out of the steaming bathroom feeling refreshed.

Pudding had already given up its spot on the treadmill to Ye Jingmo. It lay on the ground, panting heavily, its tongue sticking out but reluctant to put it back in its mouth.

The basin next to it was filled with clear water, and Pudding would occasionally bury her head in it.

Jiang Li lay on the sofa and opened a popular TV series on her tablet; it was a crime drama.

For the first month after her rebirth, she was busy stockpiling supplies and hadn't been able to relax like this in a long time.

The TV series features a tightly woven plot, coupled with eerie and thrilling music, which immerses viewers in the story.

Jiang Li didn't come to her senses until Ye Jingmo called her to lunch; it was already noon.

Two dishes and a soup were placed on the table: salt and pepper oyster mushrooms, chopped chili fish head, and seaweed and egg drop soup.

Jiang Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Brother Mo, let's tidy up a corner and cultivate some mushrooms. The weather right now is perfect for mushroom growth."

Ye Jingmo: "Okay, tidy up the storage room and plant it there."

Without further ado, Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li sat for a while after lunch and then tidied up the storage room.

Jiang Li took out a mushroom bag from her spatial storage, placed it in a flowerpot, and covered the surface with a thin layer of soil.

Spray some water on the soil surface to keep it moist.

Jiang Li has planted more than a dozen pots of mushroom spawn, containing different types of mushrooms, with oyster mushrooms, crab mushrooms, and king oyster mushrooms being the main varieties.

Ye Jingmo assisted Jiang Li from the side. He was not familiar with planting and mainly helped out.

After finishing their work, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo went to wash their hands. Ye Jingmo turned on the tap first, but immediately pulled her hand back when she felt the pain on her skin.

"what happened?"

Seeing this, Jiang Li, who was behind Ye Jingmo, immediately pulled Ye Jingmo's hand to check on him.

The skin that came into contact with water quickly became red and swollen, and several small blisters appeared on it.

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat as if it had plunged into an icy river. She immediately took out pure water from her spatial storage and used it to rinse Ye Jingmo's wounds.

Ye Jingmo looked down at Jiang Li, who was anxious for him, a smile on his face, and ruffled her hair.

"It's okay, my hands are rough."

"What do you mean 'nothing'? Your hands are soaked." Jiang Li glared at Ye Jingmo and muttered.

Jiang Li rinsed the wound but was still not satisfied, so she took out burn ointment and applied it to Ye Jingmo.

The enticing aroma of sesame wafted out, prompting Pudding to peek out with its head to see if the two had sneaked a bite without bringing it along.

“Waaah…” A mournful wail suddenly came from downstairs.

Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li looked at each other, then walked to the window and looked down.

The only thing that could be vaguely discerned from the sound of the rain was that the sound was coming from a house on the sixth floor.

Jiang Li opened her phone and saw that the owners' group chat was flooded with messages (99+).

Who's crying so loudly? What happened?

I heard this crying sound when I woke up from my afternoon nap, it scared me half to death.

……

[Does anyone have burn ointment? I'll give 500 yuan for a tube. My granddaughter just took a bath, and the water turned out to be as corrosive as acid rain outside. She's burned all over her body. She's only five years old!]

Please, everyone, if you have any burn ointment, could you sell us one?

For large-area burns, it's best to go to the hospital; burn ointment won't work.

We called 120, but because of this awful weather, it will take them more than half an hour to arrive.

What? The water is contaminated?

Isn't this the same as a water outage? What if we lose power too?

What should I do if I don't have any water stored?

Jiang Li looked at the house where she was seeking help; it was the Hu family on the seventh floor.

Grandma Hu and Grandpa Hu are two kind old people.

When Grandma Ye passed away, Grandma Hu was worried that Ye Jingmo wouldn't know how to cook, so she thought about inviting Ye Jingmo to her house for meals.

After Jiang Li's parents passed away, Grandpa Hu asked her if she needed any help and told her to go to the seventh floor to find him.

I've also met Grandpa Hu's granddaughter, Jiang Li. She's a lively and adorable little girl, and every time I see her, she sweetly calls me "sister."

Jiang Li: "Brother Mo, should we send some burn ointment downstairs?"

There's plenty of burn ointment in Jiang Li's space, but she doesn't know Ye Jingmo's opinion.

Ye Jingmo pondered for a moment, "I'll send one down and grab two bottles of mineral water while I'm at it. The natural disaster has just begun, so taking these won't be too conspicuous now, but it won't be easy to take them out later."

Ye Jingmo told Jiang Li to stay at home while he took the things downstairs.

When we knocked on Grandpa Hu's door, Grandpa Hu looked weathered, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.

His throat tightened, and his cloudy eyes filled with anticipation. "Xiao Ye, you've come?"

Ye Jingmo handed the items in his hand to Grandpa Hu, saying, "After searching high and low, this is the only burn ointment left in the house. Use these two bottles of mineral water to rinse the wound and prevent further damage."

Grandpa Hu held Ye Jingmo's hand tightly, too excited to speak, and bent his knees to kneel down before Ye Jingmo.

He sent many messages in the group, but no one responded. Seeing his granddaughter crying out in pain from time to time, Grandpa Hu wished he could be the one who got hurt.

Ye Jingmo quickly stopped Grandpa Hu, "No need, I can't accept that."

As if remembering something, Grandpa Hu immediately took out several hundred yuan from his pocket, intending to stuff it into Ye Jingmo's hand.

"Take these few hundred yuan, I don't know how to thank you enough."

Grandpa Hu cried with tears streaming down his face, his calloused hands tightly gripping Ye Jingmo's.

"Grandpa Hu, go and give Jiajia her medicine first, and wait for the ambulance to take her to the hospital."

Ye Jingmo calmly said to Grandpa Hu.

"Yes, yes, I'll give Jiajia the medicine first, and I'll come to thank you in person another day."

Grandpa Hu kept expressing his gratitude until Ye Jingmo's figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Hearing familiar footsteps outside the door, Jiang Li opened the door and welcomed Ye Jingmo inside.

"How about it?"

"I didn't go inside to see; the medicine was given to me at the door."

Ye Jingmo answered Jiang Li, but thinking of Grandpa Hu's expression, he couldn't imagine the scene of Jiang Li being all alone after he left her.

He stepped forward and hugged Jiang Li, resting his chin on the top of her head. "We will get through this disaster together."

Feeling the rise and fall of Ye Jingmo's chest, a muffled sound came from his throat, and Jiang Li hugged Ye Jingmo back.

In this life, we must live well.
