Chapter 630: Putting Out a Fire
The days were gradually getting hotter. After Luo Qiao arrived home, she first steamed rice and stewed ribs, and then she closed the courtyard door and went to the backyard to tend to the vegetable plot. She had already turned over the soil before, and these past few days she had been organizing the vegetable ridges to facilitate planting in the coming days.
Once she almost finished, she washed her hands and returned to the kitchen. Seeing that the ribs were almost done, she added chunks of potatoes and also stir-fried some bok choy. Then she was finally ready to eat. She had stewed quite a bit of ribs, so she took out a portion and stored it in the Spatial Warehouse.
After cleaning up following the meal and as the sky darkened, she remembered that the school normally had evening self-study sessions. However, she had previously arranged with her homeroom teacher to revise at home in the evenings.
After checking the main gate was secure, she returned to her room, locked the doors and windows, and entered the Spatial Warehouse. The crops inside the space were ready to be harvested, and the fruits in the valley needed to be picked, or else they would affect the flowering.
Once she finished tidying everything up and had gathered the mature medicinal herbs from the garden to process them for storage, she stretched lazily, ready to prepare a hot bath.
Having spent such a long time in Capital City before, she wasn’t quite accustomed to living alone upon her return. Previously, as long as Lu Yichen was here, he took care of the dishes and the kitchen. She realized that habits could be terrifying things.
Soaking in the bath, she pondered her personal matters, and without realizing it, she ended up staying in longer than intended. After getting everything in order, she decided to rest a while in the space.
In the middle of the night, she was awakened by a noise outside. She got dressed, left the Spatial Warehouse, and checked the watch outside; it was just past two in the morning. Opening the door, she couldn’t help but shiver from the chill.
