After dinner, Lin Zhi suggested they wash up and rest. Lin Yutang stared blankly at the willow twig her sister handed her—was this for brushing teeth?

“Sis, wait for me a moment!” Lin Yutang said before vanishing into her space again. Lin Zhi shook her head helplessly at her sister’s sudden disappearance and went to bolt both the main door and their room door.

“This mustn’t be seen by anyone. I’ll have to remind Xiao Tang to be careful with this ability,” Lin Zhi thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Lin Yutang headed straight to the daily necessities section in the department store. She gathered toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash cups, face towels, and two sets of simple, elegant cotton pajamas.

She also grabbed a bed sheet set—these were urgently needed for immediate use. Other items could wait for later.

Armed with her haul, Lin Yutang made a quick stop by the prepared foods section before leaving. She had specifically checked the spot where she’d taken the fried chicken and burger earlier—sure enough, corresponding items had reappeared!

This meant the space had an automatic restocking function! Plus, judging from the stir-fried noodles she’d bought before transmigrating, which were still warm, it clearly also had a freshness-preserving feature~

Humming a cheerful tune, Lin Yutang emerged from the space. Lin Zhi stared wide-eyed at her suddenly reappearing sister and the large bundle of items—even with some mental preparation, the sight felt surreal.

“Sis, this is a toothbrush, and this is toothpaste. These are for brushing teeth,” Lin Yutang explained while demonstrating, squeezing toothpaste onto an electric toothbrush. When she turned it on and it started vibrating, Lin Zhi jumped in surprise.

How—how does this thing move on its own?!

Imitating her sister, Lin Zhi placed the toothpaste-coated electric toothbrush in her mouth, pressed the button, and gently brushed her teeth.

Good heavens, the toothbrush was so soft! It didn’t hurt her gums at all, and the toothpaste smelled so fresh! Lin Zhi was instantly smitten, wishing she could brush once a day for a whole day each time!

After brushing, Lin Yutang brought out the towels. To avoid drawing too much attention, she’d chosen two dark gray ones. Their soft texture drew another amazed sigh from Lin Zhi.

Once washed and changed into pure white pajamas, Lin Yutang glanced at the dudou (traditional bellyband) she and Lin Zhi wore underneath. She decided to revisit the space tomorrow to pick out some camisoles for them—she couldn’t get used to the dudou, and it wasn’t great for breast development either.

Surveying their sparse surroundings, Lin Yutang sighed. There was so much that needed improvement, but it would have to happen gradually. For now, a good night’s sleep was priority.

Lin Zhi was copying her sister’s changing routine when she suddenly gasped. “What’s wrong?” Lin Yutang asked urgently.

“I… my monthly period is here! I need to go handle it,” Lin Zhi said, tying her pajamas and heading out.

Lin Yutang stopped her. “Sis, wait for me. I’ll be right back!” With that, she vanished again.

Unsure what her sister intended, Lin Zhi rummaged through a chest for her usual menstrual strips—essentially cloth strips she would pad with plant ash to create a simple sanitary solution.

Lin Yutang reappeared quickly, holding several small packets. She opened one and unfolded its contents to show Lin Zhi.

“Sis, these are sanitary pads—the menstrual products from that other world. See, this one’s specially for nighttime use. You just wear it like this, and it’s done! Guaranteed not to leak even if you wear it all night!”

Lin Zhi touched the strange item in her hand, a sudden pang of sorrow hitting her. If only all women could use something this wonderful.

In their village, most women used plant ash, and only those slightly better off could afford to add a little cotton. As a result, women’s reproductive health was often compromised.

Lin Zhi took the pads and went out to manage her needs without another word—she felt these items mustn’t be discovered by others, or her sister could be in danger.

But Lin Yutang had sensed her thoughts and secretly wondered: Could these life-improving products be sold? She could earn some silver this way—after all, she couldn’t rely on her space to idle away her entire life.

Alone, Lin Yutang fitted the new bedsheet set and lay down satisfied on the refreshed bed. When Lin Zhi returned, she found her sister already fast asleep. Tucking her in, Lin Zhi lay down too—so comfortable~

Moonlight spilled gently through the window, bathing the room in soft light. The two girls slept soundly in their beds—for Lin Zhi, it was the most comfortable night she’d had in years.
