Jiang Ning couldn’t be bothered to analyze the key points. She held up the walkie-talkie, “Wait, I have something to give for all of you.”

Taking the clothes to 1803, she didn’t hide her generosity, “I made these myself, try them on quickly.”

Zhang Chao and Lu Yu were dumbfounded. It was so hot that they didn’t even want to wear shorts, let alone long-sleeved shirts and trousers.

However, they still had to give face to Anning.

Touched, the guys almost cried.

Don’t be fooled by Anning’s sharp tongue; she actually cares a lot about them. Who would have thought she would make clothes for them? It’s really rare to see!

After all, who makes clothes these days?

Taking the risk of heatstroke, the two put on the long-sleeved shirts and trousers.

Hot… Wait, it feels a bit cool.

Oh… It’s getting cooler.

Lu Yu’s eyes almost popped out of his head, he excited said, “Wifey, you should try it on quickly!”

Zhang Chao was shocked, “Anning, what kind of high-tech is this?”

After trying on the clothes, the three of them couldn’t speak for a long time. They felt like the temperature had suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.

It felt like turning on the air conditioner, but in cooling mode, goosebumps popped up one after another.

Jiang Ning pretended to be mysterious, “Do you know what I exchanged for the fabric?”

“What?” The three were curious.

Jiang Ning gestured, “Two guns.”

Heavens, how could she exchange guns for it? Guns are life-saving things!

After brewing up her emotions, Jiang Ning put on a complex expression, “It was minus seventy degrees at the time, people were almost frozen stiff, their brains were slow, and they were easily fooled. They said it would maintain a constant temperature of 25 degrees, like spring all year round when worn.”

“I was half asleep and agreed to the exchange. When I got home and made the clothes, I regretted it so much. When I wanted to return it, there was no trace of the seller. The day before yesterday, when I was packing up my winter clothes, I tried it on and unexpectedly, it really does maintain a constant temperature.”

She said with such emotion that she almost believed herself.

Ah, it’s really not easy to find reasons for things.

She guessed the temperature range, “Plus or minus 45 degrees is the constant temperature, you can feel it later.”

The three didn’t think much about it, they were just excited. This was a life-saving tool.

The only painful thing was its price; it took two guns to exchange for it.

The three exchanged glances, Lu Yu took out his, “Anning, this one’s for you.”

“Are you’re looking down on me?” Jiang Ning was generous, “That time, when I was dealing with Kun’s men, me and Huo Yishen emptied all their guns. There were a total of four, but there were only a few bullets left.”

“I thought the empty shells were useless and rushed to go to Lian Haoteng Court and I just left them at home.”

“Later, I forgot about this incident. The extra two are considered public property, and they were just enough to exchange for the constant temperature fabric. You guys don’t need to contribute any more materials. However, there’s not much fabric left after the exchange; it’s just enough for all of you. Be thrifty with it, once it’s worn out, there won’t be any more.”

Lu Yu smiled brightly, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely treat it like a treasure and only wear it when necessary.”

This wasn’t just about the cooling feature; the decrease in temperature also improved their state of mind.

After Jiang Ning left, Lu Yu hugged his wife and sighed, “Lili, do you think we encountered Jiang Ning because of our good karma from our past lives?”

Zheng Weili didn’t believe in reincarnation, but she knew the bond between the three of them was indeed strong, “Maybe.”

“Don’t be fooled by Anning’s competitiveness; she’s actually the most insecure among us three. She’s like this: when she’s good to someone, she goes all out, but when she’s not, she goes all out against them.”

Bringing up this topic, Zheng Weili voiced a long standing doubt, “Anning is clever and capable; how did she get mesmerized by Yang Weicong in the past?”

As for matters of love, Lu Yu had the most say.

“Wife, I was captivated by you at first sight.”

“Get lost, were you really captivated? Clearly, it was…”

Zheng Weili didn’t think Lu Yu was smitten at first sight at all. He was simply shocked by her boldness.

As for why she fell for Lu Yu, that was because…

Zheng Weili paused, vaguely understanding what Lu Yu meant.

Jiang Ning’s interest in Yang Weicong wasn’t love; it was because he possessed something she lacked, something she desperately desired.

The more you lack something, the more you desire it. Many times, it can even lead to irrational behavior.

Zheng Weili sighed, “Brother Shen is really good. I hope he sincerely loves Anning.”

At dinner that evening, Doudou kept scratching her arms.

Jiang Ning asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Itchy.”

She rolled her sleeves and saw a big bump on her arm. It was not only red and swollen but also had broken skin. It looked like she had been bitten by a mosquito.

Stagnant water breeds bacteria and mosquitoes mutate.

In areas close to water sources, mosquitoes have already appeared in large numbers. Once bitten, people develop big bumps that get itchier the more they scratch.

Soon, diseases like dengue will break out completely.

Related departments are carrying out exterminations everywhere, but there’s too much garbage in the water, and it keeps producing. It’s impossible to completely prevent it.

However, prevention is still necessary.

For example, it’s essential to retrieve bodies to prevent the spread of disease.

Just having mosquito nets is not enough; mutated mosquitoes dare to come out not just at night but also during the day.

Jiang Ning applied medicine to Doudou’s arm. The low-toxicity mosquito repellent wasn’t very effective, so she lit a mosquito coil.

At the same time, she communicated with 1803 through the walkie-talkie about mosquito nets, mosquito coils, long-sleeved clothes, and trousers.

As for face-to-face communication, let’s save it if possible.

She showers every day, but she doesn’t dare to use shampoo and shower gel anymore. She fears Zhang Chao and the others might notice.

Also, she deliberately kept two sets of sweaty clothes from sparring with Huo Yishen, which could be worn to repel people if necessary.

Believe it or not, this is also the reason Huo Yishen gave a walkie-talkie to Room 1803. If there’s something to say, use the walkie-talkie instead of knocking on the door.

Air freshener, mosquito coils, and spraying insecticide in every corner.

Preventing dengue is everyone’s responsibility.

With the high temperatures persisting every day, the heat from the walls hasn’t dissipated by the time the sun rises the next day.

Preparing in advance on the 18th floor, they could barely get by.

Lu Yu fixed the broken car fridge and stocked it with cooling tea to dispel the humidity and heat. He made sure to say through the walkie-talkie, “The fridge is in the corridor, take whatever you need.”

Jiang Ning also kept busy. She brought out the items she found in the office building: milk tea powder, coffee, ice cream powder, various tea drink mixes, etc.

These flavors weren’t strong. She watched some instructional videos and made them with Huo Yishen.

Pearl milk tea, soy milk, ice cream, mung bean soup, red bean soup, cooling herbal drinks…

She would make it once, and Huo Yishen would learn, then he would teach her sister, and she would sit on the sofa like a lazy manager.

Uh, who said he didn’t have talent?

Jiang Ning ate her ice cream, “Were you intentionally pretending in the past?”

Huo Yishen remained calm, “I really wasn’t. You taught me well.”

The siblings were busy all day, even preparing three meals a day. Jiang Ning felt a little guilty, “Am I too lazy?”
