The morning breeze gently caressed the strands of hair by Jiang Li's ear.

However, the filthy environment and stench of the front yard downstairs dampened Jiang Li's cheerful mood in half.

She really couldn't stand the mess in the front yard anymore.

There is water stored in the space from the stream.

Today, she has to clean the front yard.

First floor.

Ye Jingmo was wearing a black vest and black shorts, exercising on a treadmill.

Sweat soaked his vest, revealing a strong, muscular chest underneath.

It's obvious that they've been exercising on the treadmill for a long time.

Jiang Li didn't disturb Ye Jingmo's workout; she went into the kitchen.

Take out yesterday's mushroom and chicken soup from the space and boil it again.

While waiting, Jiang Li soaked the rice noodles in water.

This will speed up the cooking time of the rice noodles.

Jiang Li saw that the slightly yellow chicken soup was already boiling, so she quickly poured the rice noodles into it.

The bubbling soup was quickly extinguished by the rice noodles.

Jiang Li turned around, intending to tell Ye Jingmo that breakfast would be served soon.

Unexpectedly, she bumped into a hard object.

Jiang Li was about to smash into the stove due to the reaction force.

A strong, powerful arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her forcefully in the opposite direction.

By the time Jiang Li realized what was happening, she was already nestled in Ye Jingmo's broad arms.

"Why are you so careless?"

Feeling the vibrations in Ye Jingmo's chest, Jiang Li could feel a tingling, electric-like sensation on her face.

Jiang Li pursed her lips. "It's all because you walk so quietly, Brother Mo, that you startled me."

Ye Jingmo raised an eyebrow, reached out and touched her soft hair, letting out a muffled chuckle.

He did not refute Jiang Li's accusations.

Jiang Li noticed that white smoke was constantly rising from the pot, so she immediately turned off the heat.

Jiang Li stirred the rice noodles with a spoon and found that they were only a little soft, not so soft that they were impossible to pick up.

"The pot's hot, I'll take it out. You wait outside."

Ye Jingmo stepped forward and took over Jiang Li's actions.

The two enjoyed their breakfast at the table, their watches beeping softly.

Jiang Li was a little puzzled, as she had never heard the watch make such a sound since she put it on.

She checked her watch and saw it was an important official notice.

The government began distributing relief food today, dividing it by region.

The neighborhoods within the area were divided into different time slots to receive relief food.

Jiang Li scrolled to the bottom of the message, which listed the times for each community to receive relief food.

The tickets for Feihong Villas were picked up at 1 p.m.

"Brother Mo, should we go and line up to get it?"

Jiang Li looked up at Ye Jingmo.

They have no shortage of food; if they don't go to collect it, the extra food can be shared with others.

"We should go, since everyone is generally short of food. If we don't go, it will be too conspicuous."

Ye Jingmo replied.

Jiang Li nodded, swallowed the last mouthful of chicken soup, and got up to go to the third floor to take a look.

Ye Jingmo put the bowl and chopsticks aside and followed Jiang Li to the third floor.

"I'll change the grass and water for them; you just need to water the planting troughs."

Ye Jingmo took on the task of changing the guinea pig's nest.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai weren't familiar with Ye Jingmo's presence, and when he reached out, they both cowered in the corner of the cage.

Ye Jingmo ignored them, simply changing the hay and water bottles, and putting the trash they generated into bags.

Jiang Li watered the planting trough, but it was still just dark soil; not a single sprout had appeared.

After inspecting all the planting troughs, Jiang Li arrived at the location where the incubator would be placed.

Seeing that the humidity reading on the thermometer inside had dropped, Jiang Li quickly added water to the incubator.

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief when she observed the humidity level slowly rising on the thermometer.

Once Jiang Li confirmed that there was no problem with the incubator, she walked confidently to the window to check on the operation of the solar panels.

With a casual glance, Jiang Li noticed two familiar figures standing at her doorstep.

It was Qin Yue and Qin Yu from next door.

"Brother Mo, the Qin siblings are here."

"Well, let's go down."

Ye Jingmo brushed the grass clippings off his clothes and went downstairs with Jiang Li.

Pudding saw Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li, and with a toy in its mouth, it wanted to play with them.

Ye Jingmo went out to the front yard to open the door and welcome Qin Yue and Qin Yu in.

Jiang Li stroked Pudding's hair, saying, "We have guests coming over. We'll play with you later."

Pudding tilted its head, seemingly understanding Jiang Li's meaning, and started playing with its toy in the doghouse.

Qin Yue was filled with doubt when she saw the bare ground in front of Jiang Li's house.

However, she dared not ask the aloof and taciturn Ye Jingmo, so she had to keep the question to herself.

As soon as she entered and saw Jiang Li, she asked:

"Sister Jiang Li, did you remove the mud from your front yard? It doesn't look dirty, and it doesn't smell strong."

The sludge in our area hasn't been cleaned up yet, so we don't dare open the windows at home because the smell is awful.

"And all the trees have been removed. Are they planning to plant something in there?"

Jiang Li nodded and said:

"Yes, we were planning to plant something in the area we cleared before, but we don't know if it will survive."

Qin Yu followed behind Qin Yue and overheard Jiang Li and Qin Yue's conversation. He remained silent, lost in thought.

"By the way, Sister Jiang Li. I don't know if you've had breakfast yet. We brought you three homemade pancakes with dried mushroom filling. They're quite delicious."

Qin Yue handed the bag of cakes to Jiang Li.

"No need, food is expensive now, you can eat by yourselves."

Jiang Li declined, saying that the cake was insignificant to her, but it was something Qin Yue and her companion could only afford by cutting back on their own spending.

Qin Yue's attitude was firm, and Jiang Li could no longer refuse.

Jiang Li pondered what to give Qin Yue to take back later; she couldn't accept these three cakes for nothing.

Qin Yue noticed the pudding she was playing with, her eyes lit up, and she squatted down next to the pudding to look at it.

"It's so cool."

Qin Yue cupped her face in her hands, looking at Pudding with a fangirl expression.

Pudding had never met Qin Yue, but after seeing Jiang Li and talking to her, she knew that Qin Yue was not an enemy.

It ignored Qin Yue, who was staring at it, and continued playing with its toys.

"We came here mainly for one other thing, which is to receive relief food today."

Qin Yu sat down on the sofa, ignoring Qin Yue's childish behavior, and started talking to Jiang Li.

"Isn't it enough to just go and queue up?" Jiang Li asked.

"I received information that the authorities are currently short-staffed and are recruiting staff to distribute relief food."

My main job was to maintain order on site, and my reward was a bottle of mineral water.

I've already registered, and I was wondering if you guys would like to try registering too?

Qin Yu sat upright, which showed that he grew up in a very well-mannered family.

Jiang Li glanced at Ye Jingmo, then shook her head at Qin Yu.

"Thank you for letting us know, but we are not interested in this job."

"Why don't you reconsider? Although you won't get much, you'll still be able to establish a connection with the authorities and perhaps obtain some inside information."

Qin Yu then spoke.

Jiang Li still firmly refused.

Qin Yu had no choice but to give up trying to persuade him.
