Thinking about how Xia Zhixing somehow found out that they were the ones who killed the celestial lord, Du Yue had a bad feeling. Du Yue’s expression was solemn, and she did not speak for a long time. He Xing reached out and patted her shoulder gently. “Don’t worry. If she really has bad intentions, I’ll find a chance to get rid of her. The dead are the most tight-lipped, and she won’t follow us anymore.”
Du Yue nodded. “That’s the only way.”
If Xia Zhixing got close to them again, Du Yue would kill her herself without He Xing’s help.
He Xing hugged Du Yue and walked into the house. “Did you check the house? Yes, there’s no problem with it. Don’t worry about it.”
“That’s good. I paid for the utility fees in advance just now. The electricity bill is quite cheap, but the water bill is a little expensive.” Du Yue was not surprised at all when He Xing said that the water bill was expensive.
The water resources in the fourth base seemed to be a little scarce. Otherwise, there would have been a well in the young man’s house. He would not have to go outside to fetch water every day.
Previously, when they were digging the well in Sunshine Courtyard, they had to dig a full 50 meters down before they could finally get water. Could it be that there was no water source in the fourth base, even if it was 50 meters underground? If this continued, would it become more and more difficult to use water in the future? In the past few years, although Du Yue would occasionally use the water in her space, as long as she stayed in a place with a water source, she would regularly store water in her space. She had only used less than 10% of the water stored in her space despite it being so many years later.
Previously, she felt that she would not have to worry about water problems. However, after seeing the situation in the fourth base, Du Yue decided to store some water in the space every day until all the containers were filled. If she was not worried that too much water would arouse suspicion, Du Yue would have filled all the containers tonight.
The two of them walked to the living room on the first floor. Du Yue said to He Xing as she went upstairs, “Xia Ju chose the first floor, and I chose the second floor. Xia Ju is helping us clean up the room upstairs. Let’s hurry over and work with her. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can eat.” Since He Xing had not come back, Du Yue and Xia Ju had been tidying up the place and had forgotten to eat. It was already past one o’clock in the afternoon. It was long past lunchtime. They were so busy that they forgot to eat, so they did not think much of it.
Now that Du Yue suddenly remembered that she had not eaten, she felt that her stomach was a little empty. However, whether it was Du Yue, He Xing, or Xia Ju, the three of them were all swift and decisive. If they could not finish the work at hand, they would not eat. Fortunately, there was no more work to do after the floorboards were laid. The three of them cleaned up and wiped the dust. They were done very quickly. Du Yue took out a table and some chairs. The three of them sat down to eat their late lunch, and they were unusually satisfied.
Now that they were living in a villa with a single courtyard, and the doors and windows were tightly closed, no matter what they ate in the house, they did not have to worry about the fragrance of the food drifting outside. They were also more confident and bold when they ate delicious food. However, they would be having dinner soon. They were worried that they would eat too much now, so the three of them only ate something simple. When they were cleaning up the table, Du Yue said to Xia Ju, “Let’s eat barbecue tonight. Consider it a celebration of our new house.”
Xia Ju had never eaten barbecued meat before, but the variety shows she watched had scenes of barbecued meat.
Hearing Du Yue say that they were going to eat barbecue, Xia Ju’s interest was immediately piqued. “Is barbecue delicious? I think those celebrities enjoyed themselves a lot.”
Du Yue nodded without hesitation. “Trust me, barbecued meat is really, really delicious!”
After moving to a new house, there was still a lot of work to do in the early stages. After the meal, the three of them first cleaned up the toilets on the first and second floors, then cleaned up the kitchen, dining room, and living room downstairs. Although it was called a kitchen, it was actually an empty room with nothing. There was no gas, so if one wanted to cook, they could only use the induction cooker. Du Yue took out all the pots and pans that she had used before and placed them neatly. As for the ingredients, it was not too late to take them out when they were cooking. Even the best refrigerator could not keep them as fresh as in the interspace.
They usually ate together in the dining room, so they needed to set up tables and chairs in the dining room, as well as a simple sideboard. After all this was done, there was only the living room left. Du Yue stood in the living room and thought for a while. In the end, she decided to keep the living room as it was..
