In the afternoon, Wu Juan entered the community.
There is a sports ground in the community, with a durable lawn on it, which is said to be a new type of resilient grass that can recover after being trampled. In addition, there are not many people in the community, so it's lush and green.
On both sides of the corridor, there are clusters of ornamental shrubs, and sometimes some semi-wild and semi-domesticated small animals are active here. This piece is well protected by a three-fold walking stage lawn next to it.
Through the corridor, she was in a small plain, the fountain was spraying water flowers, under the sunlight, and it formed a small rainbow, further away, it was the private flower garden of each villa, obviously, it had been carefully taken care of by the owner, so although it was already August, there were still fresh flowers.
Wu Dandan walked up to the familiar entrance and didn't even bother to swipe her card, because all that would do was trigger a voice prompt: "Sorry, this residence is currently sealed off. Please contact the homeowner or administrator."
Wu Dandan smiled, and began to take out her tools, starting to tidy up the private flowerbeds around the villa, watering them, and sometimes pruning some overgrown branches. Then, she stopped in front of two clusters of flowers, taking a sniff.
At that moment, a fragrance wafted through the air, and for a while, her heart was filled with joy, and she smiled.
These two are Astrantia, a newly cultivated flower with a history of only fifty years. They prefer an environment with sufficient sunlight and can tolerate cold and drought. However, they do not grow well in humid climates. The soil requirements are not strict, but fertile, loose, and well-draining soil is preferred. If propagated by seed, the suitable time is from late March to early April. If propagated by cuttings, it is best done in May or June, with a high survival rate.
It was she who brought the branch here a month and a half ago, planted it herself, and made it survive. Now it has grown quite well, with golden flowers swaying in the wind like cups, which is very touching.
Its petals can be dried and put into tea, emitting a strong fragrance that lasts for a long time. It is said to have medicinal value, especially beneficial for people who work in front of computers for extended periods, effectively alleviating eye strain and promoting blood circulation. That's why 13-year-old Wu Dandan changed several buses, went to the gardens outside the city, cut some back, and returned home late at night without even having time to eat dinner before planting them here.
"Wu Dandan, you're here again?"
In the afternoon, someone came out for a walk in the neighborhood and saw Wu Doudou. He raised his hand to greet her. Wu Doudou quickly stood up, shook her head, smiled, but didn't speak. After he left, she sat back down on the steps.
Since Wu Doudou followed Zhang Meili to study last time, she paid extra attention to her cultivation. Due to her innate talent, she easily gained spiritual awareness and became even more calm and peaceful in her mind. Although it had only been a year since last year, she was now quietly sitting on the steps, taking out a book - "Kadokawa Foreign Language Collection" - and reading intently, her delicate face serene.
The sun drifted away until it was low in the west, and Wu Dandan finally put down her book, preparing to leave. She stood still for a moment, then took out a card and swiped it against the door.
This is her daily routine, a month and a half ago, after Fang Xin left, she often came to take a look. In fact, her card was given by Fang Xin as a spare card, which could originally open the door, but because Fang Xin was afraid of being discovered, all were locked away. Although so, she still often took out the card and habitually swiped it on the door - although she had long realized that this was essentially a meaningless behavior.
I don't know where Brother Fang has gone, she is a very sensitive person, although only thirteen years old, also knows that some things, some people, once missed, may not be seen again in this life.
But just then, the door creaked open and a welcoming voice sounded: "Welcome, Miss Wu Dandan, esteemed guest of this mansion!"
Wu Dandan's heart skipped a beat as she stepped inside slowly.
The villa itself is fine, but since no one has lived there for a month and a half, despite the automatic cleaning system, there is still a thin layer of dust on the floor and stairs, and in the air, there is a strange smell that comes from not being inhabited. This smell is very peculiar, but it does exist, and all places that have been uninhabited for a long time have this smell.
There was no one downstairs, only the lights were on. Wu Dandan looked around and slowly went up the stairs to the second floor. She pushed open the door and entered the hall, but was shocked to see a young man with wet hair and face, who had just come out of the shower without even drying himself off.
Fang Xinyao was also slightly startled, he had just come out of the nutrient warehouse and hadn't been out for long. Although the nutrient fluid was very powerful, after staying in it for a month and a half, when he first came out, his legs even felt weak, and walking was a bit difficult for a while. His skin was also pale, but after a while, he adapted again, feeling the relaxation of his muscles, and had already made up his mind to resume training.
Who would have thought that just after washing up, because there was no one at home, **** came out. He didn't want to make a sound, but unexpectedly, a little girl appeared before him. He took a closer look and suddenly remembered that this was his friend in this world - Wu Dandan!
People's feelings are strange, and people's experiences and psychology are not simply determined by time, but to a greater extent, they judge time based on memory.
Although I only lived there for a year and a half, the process was magnificent, so now it feels like I've experienced all the successes, hardships, and joys of a lifetime.
So recalling one's memories of Wu Dandan is like playing an old and worn-out record, giving a feeling of being separated from the world.
At this time, the little girl was staring at him with wide eyes. Under her gaze, Fang Xin suddenly reacted, but he didn't feel much embarrassment. He just smiled. From a man's perspective, this little girl was indeed a beautiful young thing. However, no matter what, she was still a 13-year-old girl, two years away from the empire's minimum age.
He nodded and said: "It's Wu Tongtong, sorry, I'll go change clothes."
As he spoke, Fang Xin took a step back, then turned around and walked out, closing the door behind him. He went to his own room, changed his clothes, and only came out after everything was properly dressed.
Wu Dandan lowered her head and sat in the living room. She didn't mind what had just happened, but her face was a bit red and hot.
After a while, Fang Xin came out. He didn't feel the slightest bit of embarrassment about what had just happened, it was just his physical instincts after all, and not worth making a fuss over. He said: "Wu Dandan, I'm starving! Can you make some coffee? Let me see what's in the fridge that we can still eat!"
"I can, well, I'll get it done." Wu Dandan had learned this specifically.
She skillfully remembered where the coffee beans were in the freezer half a month ago, took them out, but didn't grind them immediately, instead turned on the kettle.
But when she opened the fridge, she asked: "Brother, your fridge won't just have things from half a month ago, will it? Except for some with long shelf life, everything else must be thrown away."
"I'm fed up with this, I'm starving now, can you help me find something to eat?" Fang Xin said, he had been in the nutrition warehouse for half a month and was already very hungry.
"Wait a minute!" Wu Dandan said, thought for a moment, took out two eggs, smelled them, then cracked one open, looked at the egg white and yolk, still edible, so she opened the pot, heated it up, and added oil.
At this time, the water had boiled and she opened the coffee grinder. She carefully remembered the lesson that powdered coffee easily oxidized and lost its flavor, so to brew a fragrant cup of coffee, it was necessary to grind the beans just before adding them to the water.
After the oil in the pot is hot, the egg is poured in. When it's half solidified, Wu Jiajia sprinkles a few drops of hot water around the egg. Unfortunately, she can't find any scallions, and even if she did, she couldn't use them anyway. Still, the dish turns out to be quite complete and intact, with a bright white color and a tender, smooth texture.
Ten minutes later, a cup of coffee and two golden fried eggs came out. Fang Xin smelled the aroma and immediately took over, gobbling them up and started eating.
Wu Dandan smiled, her deputy card had certain privileges, and she turned on the music in the room with a flick of her wrist. As she listened to the piano melody, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, savoring his enjoyment.
After finishing eating, Fang Xin smiled and said: "Wu Dandan, when did you learn this set? It's very good!"
Wu Dandan said clearly: "I learned this month!"
She clearly knew her own mind, only with a heart that had concerns would she learn these things, seeing him eat well, her heart was filled with joy.
Fang Xin was overjoyed, saying: "Great, let me rest for a while, and then we'll pack up these things and take them away. Also, I've already called the nutrition warehouse to exchange it, as well as a cleaning company to clean the room. We'll go together later to have dinner, today I'm treating you to a big meal at Dà Lè Yuán!"
Wu Dandan looked at him and nodded.
Fang Xin walked over and sat down beside her, his nostrils picking up the faint scent of fragrance. This elegant and refined aroma was not from any perfume, but rather the pure aura emitted by a cultivator who had purified their mind and body through meditation.
He naturally leaned over, lay on the sofa, put his head on the girl's thigh, and thought to himself that this Wu Tiantian was indeed good in terms of physique and talent. Even if he were to be reborn once, he would still be slightly inferior to her. In this way, he could really cultivate her.
He thought so, and opened his eyes to see a pair of bright, black-and-white eyes staring at him from above.
Unconsciously, a faint joy arose in his heart, as if he had obtained a treasure.
The sunlight shines brightly, passing through the hall, and for a moment it is so quiet that only each other's breathing can be heard clearly.
