ur boss was not only brave and resourceful but also very honest."Felix said with a smile."Of course, this is the first transaction between the two parties. For the sake of future smooth transactions,...“This”
Yuan Chongming understood the ripples' words, but everyone else was confused and didn't react. What did a dream have to do with the present
"I understand, I will prepare in the next two days."
Yuan Chongming nodded.
Especially the cotton coats for children.
The ripples reminded him again, after all, in his previous life, Tang Jiayao fell ill because of the extreme cold.
I understand!
After the ripples returned to the room, Shiju suddenly spoke, reminding:
"Ripple, three months have passed. Are you preparing to reclaim the space"
Of course! Mu Mianmian's good days are over.
Ripple curled her lips into a sneer, she waited to see the look on his face when he lost all space.
"Stone mortar, can you arrange an accident Have the pendant completely shattered and I will reclaim the space."
Actually, she could have just taken it back directly, but she wanted Mu Mianmian to hate herself, that feeling of remorse that makes your intestines turn green should feel very satisfying.
"I understand! There's a perfect opportunity. The man she's attached to, he's been driven crazy with desire by her these past few days and is about to make his move!"
The stone mill immediately clenched its fists and rubbed them together.
Okay, you arrange it!
Mateo, who lived on the same floor as Mu Mianmian, was holding a bag of cookies and knocked on Mu Mianmian's door.
"Ma Da Ge, what's the matter"
Mu Mianmian timidly asked, her voice barely a whisper. As she spoke, she kept glancing nervously at the door to his room.
"Now that the rain has stopped, I and my companions went out to look for food. We found some vacuum-packed cookies and brought you a share."
Ma Tao said with a sincere expression.
"Thank you, Ma Ge, but..."
Mu Mianmian pursed her lips and continued a little embarrassedly:
If Zhang Jie found out
"Just take it, if you have it. As the head of this household, I can at least manage this much."
Matou was a man of great masculine spirit. He shoved the bag into Mu Mianmian's hands without saying a word.
Of course, he wasn't giving it away for free. Although he passed the object over, his hand lingered on Mu Mianmian's soft little hand, not letting go, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Mu Mianmian shyly looked at the other person, her face flushed. She had also thought about it, after all, she had endured for three months, this was her limit.
Both of them had intentions, so Ma Tao pushed open the door and strode into Mu Mianmian's residence.
"Marco"
At Marco's call, the man went limp. Marco scooped him into his arms and kissed him, murmuring as he did so:
"Sleep, you will stay with me from now on. I promise I won't let you suffer any losses."
"Marco, you're married!"
Mu Mianmian put on a look of resistance and temptation, provoking Ma Tao to become even more unrestrained. His hands wandered all over her body as he panted heavily:
"That yellow-faced woman, I've had enough of her. If it weren't for the fact that she gave birth to a son, I would have kicked her out long ago!"
Ma Tao's hand had reached Mu Mianmian's inner thigh, preparing to remove the last barrier. At this moment, the door to Mu Mianmian's room was suddenly kicked open. A ferocious woman, wielding a sturdy baseball bat, swung it toward the couple before her.
"Ma Tao, you bastard! I've been turning a blind eye to your shenanigans, but you dare to get arrogant My son hasn't even had a single cookie, and you just blindly offer things to others like they're some kind of gift. Who are you to them! You'll lose both your wife and son!"
"Hey! Hey! Honey, please don't hit me. Let's talk this out!"
Ma Tao immediately ducked and covered, all thoughts of romance vanished.
Mu Mianmian then said in a flustered voice:
"Sister Sun, you misunderstood. We're out of food at home and want to exchange some jewelry for groceries. Brother Ma came over to pick out the jewelry."
She dodged the woman's indiscriminate attacks while defending herself.
"Bah! You have to hold the jewelry together and look at it, like you're trying to fool idiots!"
After the woman finished yelling, she continued to swing her stick at the man. Finally, Mu Mianmian couldn't take it anymore and directly ran into the bedroom, locking the door, only then avoiding being beaten. Outside, a man and a woman were arguing fiercely, turning the whole house upside down in the process. They found that Mu Mianmian’s house was truly out of food, so they left.
When the outside quieted down, Mu Mianmian dared to open the bedroom door. Looking at the living room that was smashed and the kitchen cabinets that were opened, her face darkened. She knew these two had ulterior motives. Fortunately, she had put all the food in the space, otherwise they would have really searched it out.
Mu Mianmian closed the door and locked it, only then letting out a sigh of relief. She was about to get something from the space when she realized there was no response. It seemed her connection with the space had been severed.
Mu Mianmian's face turned pale. She directly took off her socks and looked at the pendant on her ankle, discovering that it had broken into two pieces, apparently shattered during the pursuit. Her heart sank like a stone; all her belongings were inside, including the thick winter coat needed for the frigid weather. Now she had nothing left.
Mu Mianmian was unwilling to give up. She shook her hands and put the pendants together, then searched everywhere for glue, trying to stick them back together. Unfortunately, it was in vain. After three days of struggling, she finally gave up, but she also hated the couple next door.
She had also wanted to remind the man about the extreme cold, but now she couldn't utter a word. That night when the freezing weather arrived, many people hadn't reacted in time and died frozen in their sleep.
She would silently pray that this family of three would freeze to death, so all the food in their home would be hers. With food, she could cling to others, and with her looks, she wouldn't worry about finding someone to rely on.
On the other side, the ripples were looking through Mu Mianmian's harvest. Food made up the bulk of it, along with cosmetics, bags and clothes from luxury brands and jewelry. They should all be things she had stashed away in her space during the chaos. There were even four or five boxes of condoms, as well as ice skates and an ice sled. It was clear that these were preparations for extremely cold weather.
"Well prepared."
After counting the ripples, I feel like all of them can be used. These can be left for her original body after she leaves. It should be enough for her use.
Yuan Chongming and his four companions have been venturing out frequently lately, gathering items for warmth and protection against the cold. They dare not be careless, because as days pass, temperatures are gradually decreasing, bringing a hint of chill to the air. Moreover, the difference between day and night temperatures is growing increasingly larger. They believe Ripple's dream must be true.
Another half-month passed. One night, Lianyi slept until the middle of the night and was awakened by a gust of wind. After exhaling, she saw white fog and frost on the window panes. The whole house felt like an ice cellar.
Ripple hugged the whirlwind, stuffing the other person into her arms. She put a down jacket on them and flung open her door, "bang bang bang" she slammed the door in front of them.
"Yuan Chongming, are you awake"
It took three minutes of pounding before Yuan Chongming opened the door. By then, he had already put on his cotton-padded clothes and was holding Jia Yao in his arms, warming him up.
"Are you okay"
"Thanks goodness you woke us up, Jiayao is curled up like a ball."
Yuan Chongming gratefully said.
"Hurry and build a fire, make some ginger soup, warm yourself up, I'll go knock on the door downstairs."
The ripples handed the other person two pieces of ginger and a large bag of red sugar.
“Well, I won't be shy then!”ant, the entire city was shrouded in a hazy veil of water vapor.Pedestrians scrambled to find shelter from the downpour. Many were soaked through, and several accidents had already occurred on the roa...
