124 Someone Is Peeking Outside the Door

There was not much content in the notebook. There were only four pages in total, mixed with a few printed pictures. Du Yue finished reading it very quickly. As soon as she raised her head, she saw He Xing staring at her. “What’s wrong?” As Du Yue spoke, she touched her face. “Is there something dirty on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?”

He Xing came back to his senses and shook his head. “It’s nothing. I was just in a daze.” ”

That’s good.” Du Yue was relieved. She tapped the notebook with her fair and delicate fingers. Her round and full nails were a healthy pink color and looked very beautiful. “I’ve read what’s written on it. According to the method you wrote, the planting steps shouldn’t be too difficult.” This was a new cold-resistant species developed by the base. As long as the temperature was not lower than negative ten degrees, it could survive. There were no pests either. They only needed to mix the nutrient solution according to the proportion and add some to the seedlings every once in a while. “I think we can try planting it. What do you think?”

He Xing agreed without hesitation. “Sure, let’s give it a try. The sweet potato you roasted while we were on the last mission was quite fragrant.” Du Yue nodded in agreement. “The potatoes can also be made into French fries, and French fries are delicious!” After saying that, the two of them smiled tacitly, and there was suddenly an inexplicable feeling in the air.

Hydroponics required containers. Du Yue had some, but she did not know if He Xing did. “Do you have a container that can be used for hydroponics?”

“No, I don’t.”

“Then I’ll get you some. I have a lot of containers.” Du Yue changed into her snow boots and walked out of the bedroom. She went into the bigger bedroom and closed the door. Then, she took out some logistics boxes from her inters.p.a.ce. The bottom of these storage boxes were all sealed and would not leak, so they were very suitable for hydroponics. Du Yue carried the stack of logistics boxes to the door of the small bedroom. She knocked on the door with the boxes, and the door was opened from the inside.

Before Du Yue could say anything, she felt the weight in her hands lighten as He Xing took the boxes. Du Yue had taken out ten logistics boxes, and she split them evenly between the two of them. Since it was her first attempt, Du Yue planned to plant just a few to test the waters. Three boxes of potatoes and two boxes of sweet potatoes were just right. “The first step is to grow the seedlings, then wrap them with ash fertilizer.” Du Yue glanced at the furnace. There was ash in the furnace, but it was carbon ash, so it was definitely not usable. However, the firewood that they had brought back yesterday was stacked in the living room. She took a few planks and lit them with the fire in the furnace, then she put them into the iron bucket and let them burn slowly.

Looking at the burning firewood in the iron bucket, He Xing stood up and said, “It’ll take some time for the firewood to burn to ashes. It’s already noon. Let’s go to my house for lunch first.” Du Yue nodded and let He Xing carry the iron bucket and nutrient solution back first. She changed her clothes and went over. Du Yue carried the five logistics boxes with her as well. When she opened the door, Du Yue realized that He Xing did not close the door at all. She walked in with the boxes in her arms and placed them in the living room. Although there was an iron gate on the staircase and no one could break in even if the door was not closed, Du Yue still felt a little uncomfortable with the door being left open so casually. She walked over and intended to close the door.

As soon as she reached the door, Du Yue saw a man standing outside the iron gate. He was tiptoeing and peeking in her direction. The man probably did not expect Du Yue to come out again. After their eyes met, the man paused for a moment, then he quickly turned around and walked down the stairs. Looking at the man’s build and height, an unfamiliar face appeared in Du Yue’s mind. Although Du Yue did not dare to claim that she had a photographic memory, her memory was still relatively good. Although she had only seen the man’s face for a short glimpse, Du Yue could tell that he lived on the left side of the first floor.

The house on the left of the first floor was rented by a few young people. Du Yue had met them a few times when she went out, but they had never spoken to each other. “Why aren’t you coming in? It’s so cold outside.” Hearing He Xing’s call, Du Yue closed the door and turned to enter the house. Du Yue walked up to He Xing and said, “Someone was standing outside the iron gate and looking inside. He looks familiar. He should be the guy who lives on the left side of the first floor.”

He Xing raised his eyebrows slightly. “Why did he come all the way to the seventh floor?”

Du Yue shook her head. “I’m not sure. He slipped away after he spotted me.”
