Chapter 101: Life in the Space (Part 1)

When He Zhiran returned, she found Mo Jiuya already propping himself up with one elbow.

She rushed forward. "I told you not to get up. Why did you still do it?"

Mo Jiuya's face was slightly flushed, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"I... I need to use the bathroom..."

In an instant, He Zhiran's mind conjured an image of Mo Jiuya's body. Her face instantly turned crimson.

Seeing her embarrassment, Mo Jiuya instinctively lowered his head, his face turning as red as a monkey's bottom...

Although this was He Zhiran's first time experiencing such awkwardness, considering Mo Jiuya's current condition, she tried her best not to dwell on it.

Inside the space, she purchased a loose set of pajamas and a men's underwear for him.

"Your clothes are torn. Wear this for now."

With that, He Zhiran swiftly draped a casual wear top over Mo Jiuya's body.

As for the underwear and pants, considering the awkward atmosphere between them, He Zhiran explained the dressing method briefly and left it to Mo Jiuya to dress himself.

She didn't forget to remind him to be careful with his wounds.

Mo Jiuya didn't find the casual wear particularly odd – just that its style and fabric were different from what he usually wore.

The only exception was the underwear, whose function he understood after He Zhiran's explanation. Despite feeling somewhat embarrassed, he still followed her instructions to put it on.

To his surprise, the garment called 'underwear' turned out to be surprisingly comfortable when worn...

After a while, Mo Jiuya managed to clear his scattered thoughts and softly said, "I'm done."

Only then did He Zhiran turn around and gently help him down from the operating table. They began to move slowly towards the bathroom.

At that moment, their hearts throbbed like fawns in a panic, audible in the stillness of the room, adding to the awkward atmosphere.

Supporting Mo Jiuya out of the operating room and stopping in front of the restroom door, He Zhiran finally broke the silence.

"This is the restroom. Be careful on your own, alright?"

"Uh-huh!"

Mo Jiuya nonchalantly acknowledged, pushing the door open and entering.

After a while, He Zhiran heard no sound from inside.

She knocked on the door.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

After waiting for almost thirty seconds, there was still no response from Mo Jiuya.

Just as He Zhiran assumed that something must have happened to him and was about to break the door down, Mo Jiuya stammered, "C-Could you come in for a moment?"

He Zhiran instinctively thought that Mo Jiuya must be unwell.

Without suspicion, she promptly pushed open the bathroom door and entered.

There, Mo Jiuya stood perfectly fine, but his expression was as grotesque as someone suffering from constipation.

"What's wrong with you?" He Zhiran asked.

Mo Jiuya's words still came out somewhat disjointed.

"I...I can't find where the toilet is..."

He Zhiran...

It was her fault then.

Indeed, she should have informed an ancient person about the toilet beforehand.

She walked past Mo Jiuya and approached the pristine white ceramic toilet, gently lifting the lid.

"There, this is it."

Mo Jiuya gazed at the spotless toilet for a long while.

"Are you sure it's here?"

He Zhiran, feeling helpless, decided to demonstrate.

She casually picked up a bottle of toilet cleaner, poured it into the bowl, and then pressed the flush button.

Mo Jiuya watched as the blue water was flushed away clean, instantly grasping the function of the contraption.

Amazed by the toilet's magic, he politely asked He Zhiran to leave.

This time, He Zhiran didn't wait too long. After hearing the sound of running water, the bathroom door swung open.

Since Mo Jiuya was already awake, He Zhiran carefully supported him as they explored the functionalities and usage of various modern appliances within the space.

Mo Jiuya, now transformed into an inexperienced country bumpkin, bombarded He Zhiran with questions as she explained.

He even expressed a desire to try operating them himself.

Suddenly, He Zhiran's stomach grumbled loudly.

Only then did she recall that both she and Mo Jiuya had not eaten anything all day.

Although the space was well-stocked with ingredients, after a busy day, He Zhiran felt too exhausted to cook herself. Thus, she abandoned the idea of preparing a meal manually.

She fetched her phone and opened the Taobao page.

A pop-up message brought her joy – two more items had been sold in her shop over the past few days, resulting in an additional income of 1.12 million yuan.

With such substantial earnings, He Zhiran felt free from any financial constraints, allowing her to indulge in culinary freedom on Taobao.

As a result, when purchasing food, she didn't bother about prices. Anything delicious, appealing, or nutritious, she added to her cart without hesitation.

Opposite He Zhiran sat Mo Jiuya, watching in amazement as small square boxes and large packages materialized one after another on the table before him.

In no time, the dining table was overflowing with packages, resembling a tiny mountain of treasures.

These items were all novelties to Mo Jiuya, his eyes darting curiously from one object to another.

After much deliberation on Taobao, He Zhiran finally completed her food purchases.

With Mo Jiuya looking on, she began to unwrap each item individually.

There were salted egg yolk pastries, durian crepes, French baguettes, instant noodles, jerky, spicy sticks, canned goods, and an array of small snacks.

In addition, He Zhiran had also bought a variety of delicious fruits.

There were Sunny King grapes, honey peaches, apples, strawberries, cherries, pineapples, bananas, and, of course, her favorite, durian.

Lastly, she opened the largest package.

Inside was a complete set of barbecue ingredients.

The set meal was incredibly abundant in ingredients.

There were marinated beef, mutton, and pork belly.

It also included an array of greens, mushrooms, and small seafood.

Most importantly, the seller threw in a BBQ pot for free with the set, and the dipping sauces came in both spicy and non-spicy options.

After He Zhiran unpacked all the items, Mo Jiuya's attention was entirely captivated by her.

She patiently explained the food to him and then moved the snacks and fruits aside, creating space for them to enjoy their BBQ feast.

He Zhiran cleaned the BBQ pot and plugged it in before preparing small porcelain plates with dipping sauces for both of them.

With Mo Jiuya watching, He Zhiran skillfully began grilling the meat.

The sizzling sounds broke the silence in the room.

Before long, the enticing aroma enveloped the two of them.

He Zhiran picked up a piece of beef and placed it on Mo Jiuya's plate.

" Dip it in the sauce on the plate, it enhances the flavor. You should try it."

By now, Mo Jiuya was also feeling hungry, and he had been captivated by the aroma for quite some time.

He picked up the beef from the plate, ignoring the heat, and followed He Zhiran's advice by dipping it in the condiment.

The moment it touched his tongue, Mo Jiuya fell deeply in love with the taste.

Side note: (Just enjoy the food as is. No need to nitpick about injuries preventing certain foods; aside from seafood, there's no issue with anything else.)
