According to the training schedule, Shu Xin got up early in the morning and sleepily walked into the bathroom. She habitually turned on the faucet, but after waiting for a while, no water flowed into her hands.

It wasn’t until her foggy brain started to catch up that she realized what was happening—there was no water!

Water is essential for human survival. A person can survive without drinking water for only 2-7 days, depending on individual health and environmental factors.

Compared to a power outage, a water outage has an even greater impact on people.

Water is undeniably important to human life.

Shu Xin had known about the water outage in advance, and it was not unexpected.

Although, after the development of technology, all cities had undergone infrastructure renovations in the past decade to prevent sudden disruptions from natural disasters, given the prolonged heavy rain and floods, combined with power outages, it was hardly surprising that the water supply couldn’t be sustained once all the machinery and reserves had been depleted. Anyone with some basic knowledge should have seen this coming.

The space stored plenty of fresh water, enough for the four of them, so knowing about the water outage didn’t cause Shu Xin much trouble, other than a brief moment of reflection.

Shu Xin quickly washed her face, tied up her hair, and changed into comfortable workout clothes for training. She then went downstairs to meet up with the others.

“When did the water go out?”

“Early this morning.”

Yan Mo helped Shu Xin pull out her chair and placed her breakfast in front of her.

“Did you guys wash up this morning?”

Shu Xin was used to her boyfriend’s care and smoothly accepted the breakfast Yan Mo handed to her.

“Of course, we used the water from the tank outside. You forgot, we installed a water tank on the roof when we renovated.”

“Hehehe, guess my brain wasn’t quite awake when I got up.”

“We live on the top floor, and there are a lot of residents below. Every time someone flushes the toilet, the people downstairs can hear it. In the future, for personal hygiene, we’ll have to use cat litter. Everyone should try to get used to it today.”

Shu Xin admired how calmly Yan Mo could say this, without batting an eye. If it had been her, she wouldn’t have known how to bring it up.

She glanced at the other two, who showed no signs of discomfort at all. It felt like she was the only one embarrassed.

No! She absolutely could not show any awkward expressions, or it would make her seem inexperienced. She tried to keep a neutral face, unaware that the subtle changes in her expression were fully noticed by Yan Mo.

A flash of amusement crossed Yan Mo’s eyes. His girlfriend was sometimes just too adorably clueless.

What Shu Xin didn’t know was that Bo Xiangwen and Mu Qimai were just used to remaining expressionless no matter what. When it came to actually handling the situation, both of them came out of the bathroom with expressions that were hard to describe. Shu Xin couldn’t help but laugh at them for a long time.

Both of them looked quite awkward and a bit embarrassed.

For the past twenty-odd years, their identities had meant they’d never have to face this kind of embarrassing situation. It was completely at odds with the refined education they had received. Even Yan Mo himself hadn’t been accustomed to it. As a child, even when he was trained harshly, he had never had to deal with his own waste. It was a situation that was difficult to accept.

Everyone would need some time to adjust before fully accepting this new way of life.
