But when Eve Nightburn really looked at the content above, she instantly regretted it.
Relativity, quantum mechanics, and M-theory…
How did it suddenly shift from theology to physics!
Is it implying that I’m not worthy of reading this?
At this moment, Eve felt like she was reading a book from the heavens. Is this something I’m even qualified to understand?
“Uh…”
After hesitating for a long time, Eve ultimately chose to give up.
“Sorry for causing you trouble.”
After saying this, Eve immediately turned and ran away, leaving the place that had made her feel utterly embarrassed.
Sitting back in her original spot, Eve felt like she had reached the peak of uselessness.
Are kids these days so erudite?
Just as she was questioning her life, she suddenly realized. Wait, that person might not even be human!
Only then did Eve belatedly sneak back, but when she returned to that spot, the place where the girl had been was now empty.
Maybe I was hallucinating?
“What have I been thinking about lately!”
Eve was now firmly convinced that she had just been hallucinating.
It must be because I didn’t sleep well. Enough said, I’m going back to catch up on sleep!
As the saying goes, turtles can live for 170 years, clams for 500 years, and corals for 5000 years, and their common trait is—they don’t move much.
I’ll go home and lie down too, live to 800, no problem!
Lying flat is the greatest!
Eve then left the place, ready to go back to her rented flat for a good sleep.
The midday winter sun wasn’t harsh; instead, it felt particularly gentle.
Ding~ Ding~ Ding~
Eve’s phone suddenly rang in her pocket.
“Ah!”
Due to her long-standing Corporate PTSD, Eve couldn’t help but jump at the sound.
She quickly took out her phone and saw who was calling, immediately feeling relieved.
[Happy Joy] is inviting you to a voice call.
It’s Auntie Xiang. I almost thought it was my boss calling.
“I must change my WeChat ringtone next time.”
Eve then answered the call.
“Xiao Yi?”
“Yes.”
“Auntie transferred some money to you. Aren’t you going to accept it?”
“I…”
Eve felt like she really had no reason to refuse this money.
It’s a five-figure sum!
She knew the odds of winning that much in the lottery.
“Don’t be shy. This is the reward you deserve for saving Miri Dreamwell. If I were you, I might not have been so brave.”
“This morning, Miri woke up and told me about what happened. Yi, you were very brave.”
Hearing this, Eve choked up a bit.
She had never sought encouragement, never dared to expect praise, and never thought it was something she deserved.
“Yi, have you ever heard this story?”
“Long ago, there was a country that reimbursed the ransom for redeeming enslaved compatriots. A noble man redeemed someone but refused the compensation, and was praised for his nobility. However, a sage criticized him: If everyone followed his example, the poor, unable to afford it, would stop redeeming people, and the good policy would exist in name only.”
Eve understood what Jade Xiang was implying. She really couldn’t keep ignoring her.
“I understand. Thank you, Auntie. I’ll accept the money.”
Eve then switched to a small window and accepted the money.
“That’s more like it, Xiao Yi. If you’re ever feeling down, you can come to Auntie’s house and play with Miri.”
“Okay.”
“By the way, I’ll send you our address later. You can come over anytime you want.”
“Alright then, Xiao Yi, see you next time.”
“Okay, goodbye, Auntie.”
Eve hung up the call and continued on her way to her rented flat.
After returning to her flat, Eve took off all her heavy clothes and snuggled into her cozy little blanket~
Soft pillow~
Warm blanket~
Cozy little bed~
Eve was instantly sealed in by this gentle haven.
Perhaps there’s no seal in the world stronger than a blanket. No matter who you are, once you’re inside, you never want to leave.
The sun chased the night’s footsteps, gradually moving west.
Gurgle~
“Ugh~ Ah!”
Eve couldn’t take it anymore. Skipping breakfast and lunch meant even sleep was restless~
Eve reluctantly sat up in bed. It was time to fill her stomach.
“I don’t want to spend money…”
Eve felt a bit helpless. Whether she cooked or bought food, it would still cost money.
“Isn’t there a way to eat without spending money?”
“Wait,” Eve suddenly had a brilliant idea!
“I can just mooch off someone!”
“I’m such a genius!”
Eve decided to go to her good disciple’s house for a meal. Wait, can this even be called mooching?
This is called dining with the master!
Eve suddenly understood how satisfying it must be for teachers to visit students’ homes.
Indeed, as long as your mindset is flexible enough, there’s always a way.
No time to waste, let’s go!
Eve left her rented flat, took out her phone, opened Jade Xiang’s WeChat, found the navigation map Auntie Xiang had sent her at noon, and started following the map to Miri Dreamwell’s home.
After arriving at the building marked on the map, Eve followed the residents into the apartment block.
She then took the elevator to the tenth floor.
“1002…”
Eve circled around and finally found the room with the number 1002.
Knock knock~
“Auntie Xiang, I’m here to play with Miri!”
“Coming!”
The voice from inside wasn’t an adult’s, but a slightly childish girl’s voice.
The door then opened, and the person who answered was Miri Dreamwell.
“Are your wounds healed?”
Eve was slightly surprised to see Miri opening the door. It had only been a day since the injury.
“It’s all thanks to the healing magical girl seniors.”
Miri led Eve into her home and then closed the door.
“It’s so big!”
Eve had just stepped into the foyer and was looking at this house that was probably over a hundred square meters.
Just looking at the living room, Eve felt it could fit two or three of her rented flats.
At this moment, Eve felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Eve leaned in and whispered in Miri’s ear, “Miri, what does your family do?”
Miri didn’t hide it and directly told Eve, “Dad is an engineer, and Mom is a cake baker.”
Seems like a middle-class family.
Eve now had a rough understanding of Miri’s family.
No wonder Auntie Xiang is so generous.
Their financial strength is quite solid.
“Are your parents still at work now?”
“Yes,” Miri didn’t deny it, “They’ll be back around 6 PM.”
“Um…” Eve’s hungry stomach was starting to take control of her brain. She shyly tapped her fingers, “Does your mom make strawberry cakes? I kind of want to eat some…”
“Sure, I’ll ask Mom to make one for you.”
“Yay!”
