288: Anxin pill

The helicopter seemed to hit something above it, shaking violently and descending rapidly.

Fortunately, Lu Yu stabilized it in time, preventing a crash.

"The height of your space is the same as the current floor height of the Supermarket."

"If you want to fly higher, you'll have to wait until you unlock a new floor."

Jiang Fei couldn't hide her disappointment.

She had thought she might find out how many floors the Supermarket had.

Sure enough, the system wouldn't let her exploit loopholes.

Lu Yu slowly lowered the helicopter.

Once it landed steadily, Jiang Fei took over the controls, with him guiding her from the co-pilot's seat.

Although she understood how to fly, it was Jiang Fei's first time in a helicopter, so she flew unsteadily and soon landed.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Jiang Fei practiced continuously.

Several hours passed without her realizing it.

Jiang Fei flew much better than at first, but she was still a bit rusty.

Lu Yu encouraged her, "Not bad, you're learning very quickly. Practice more when you have time, and it won't be long before you can fly skillfully."

"Later, when we have a chance, we'll try yachts and jet skis on the river. For now, memorize the theoretical knowledge."

"Okay." Jiang Fei and Lu Yu exited the Supermarket.

She took out the helicopter in the yard, then put it back into the Supermarket warehouse, saving her the trouble of dragging it back with a trailer.

After practicing all night, they were hungry. Jiang Fei took out a steamed seafood platter she had made earlier, two bottles of spring water, and went to the restaurant with Lu Yu for a late-night snack.

After a sip of spring water, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu's fatigue from staying up all night instantly vanished.

Putting on disposable gloves, the two sat facing each other, eating seafood.

Smelling the aroma, Big Yellow jumped onto the table and rubbed its head against Jiang Fei's shoulder, "Meow~"

I want to eat too, two-legged creature!

The seafood was all steamed, without any seasoning, so Jiang Fei peeled a shrimp for Big Yellow.

"You've already eaten dinner tonight, you can only have one shrimp."

Big Yellow pretended not to hear, and after eating the shrimp, it walked over to Lu Yu, looking at him expectantly.

Master, you wouldn't be heartless enough to let me go hungry, right?

Lu Yu looked at Jiang Fei, "Can I feed it a little crab meat?"

As he spoke, Lu Yu held out his hand to show Jiang Fei the crab leg meat he had just peeled.

It was only as big as his pinky finger.

Big Yellow also turned its head, its eyes wet.

Jiang Fei's heart softened, "Last piece."

With permission, Lu Yu fed the crab meat to Big Yellow.

Satisfied, Big Yellow comfortably lay on the table, its head resting on one of Lu Yu's hands.

Lu Yu didn't shoo it away, simply eating with his other hand.

His fingers kneaded Big Yellow's cheek intermittently.

Because he was looking down, the fringe of hair on his forehead slightly obscured his vision.

On a whim, he asked, "Can you cut men's hair?"

Jiang Fei: "No, I can only shave a buzz cut."

Lu Yu: "Then help me shave it after dinner. My hair is a bit long."

Jiang Fei readily agreed.

After dinner, she took out an electric hair clipper and a raincoat.

She had Lu Yu put on the raincoat and sit in the chair, making sure the neck area was fastened tightly so no stray hairs would fall in, then Jiang Fei began to give him a buzz cut.

About ten minutes later, the job was done.

"How is it?" Lu Yu looked up and asked Jiang Fei.

The buzz cut fully showcased his refined features, adding an indescribable wildness compared to his usual gentle demeanor.

Especially under the warm light, his ink-black eyes appeared even more profound.

Jiang Fei's heart seemed to skip a beat.

Her teammate's face was truly handsome.

He could pull off any hairstyle, any outfit.

She generously gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Handsome."

One word, and Lu Yu's ears flushed slightly.

His neighbor called him handsome... Lu Yu stood up, feigning naturalness, "I'm going to wash my hair. You should go home and rest early."

"You don't need to clean up the hair on the floor; I'll do it later."

Jiang Fei hummed in agreement, and before leaving, she didn't forget to pick up Big Yellow from the table.

Can't forget to take the cub!

—

The next day, Jiang Fei was woken up by the heat again.

The temperature had been fluctuating recently, and turning the air conditioner on and off was a bit troublesome, so she didn't use it.

But last night, the temperature dropped to 5℃, so she added an extra blanket.

Unexpectedly, she still woke up hot this morning.

Big Yellow, lying next to her, was completely unaffected, sleeping soundly on its back.

Big Yellow had long adapted to the abnormal temperature, so Jiang Fei didn't turn on the air conditioner for it. She quietly left the bedroom and went downstairs.

The blackout curtains on the first floor were not drawn.

Sunlight streamed in from outside, and even with the sunshade film on the glass, the high temperature was palpable.

She glanced at the thermometer on the wall: 45℃.

It was even hotter than yesterday.

It was 6:50 AM. Su Liuyuan and the others hadn't left for work yet. Jiang Fei took out the insulation cloth from the Supermarket warehouse.

Last time, Mo Yanan brought people to install the protection supplies for the polar day and left the remaining insulation cloth with her.

She divided it into 7 portions, kept one for herself, and sent the rest to everyone.

Each villa received one portion to cover their cars when parked, preventing UV damage.

Number 8 had two cars, so Jiang Fei gave them an extra portion.

Noticing Jiang Fei's short hair, Jiang Zhengkang and the others praised her without reservation.

Jiang Zhengkang: "Fei Fei, your short hair looks better than your long hair and suits you very well."

Mother Xiao: "You don't have that distant feeling you had before. The girl is really pretty."

Yao Jin: "Indeed beautiful, but the aura of a penniless wretch is still there."

Jiang Fei: "..."

You shut up!

Coincidentally, Lu Yu came out of Villa 10 at that moment, ready for work.

Noticing that Lu Yu also had a new haircut, Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui exchanged glances, both revealing a knowing smile.

The couple got haircuts together; they were shipping it!

Jiang Zhengkang had to take Jiang Xiaoshi to Yucai Academy at nine to pay a deposit and wouldn't be back for a while, so Jiang Fei planned to go to the small mall to help out, taking over his work first.

After tidying up at home, she drove to the small mall with Su Liuyuan and the others.

They were all wearing thermostatic clothes, so they didn't feel hot in the high temperature.

But the residents weren't.

Not only did they have to work under the scorching sun, but they also had to carry a thick coat to prevent a sudden drop in temperature.

Complaints were everywhere.

"It's bad enough that the polar day has no night, but why is the temperature acting so weird?"

"Last night I came home bundled in a cotton jacket, and this morning I have to wear a short-sleeved shirt to go out. A few more changes like this and I'll catch a cold."

"A cold would be fine. Ever since the polar day began, I've been constantly irritable. If I want to sleep for a bit, I have to pull down the blackout curtains, which is so annoying. Now I find everything irritating."

"You're probably affected by the prolonged light exposure. The Central Building offers free mental health medication called 'Anxin Wan'."

"I got a bottle; after taking one, I felt refreshed, and my heart wasn't as irritable. It's said that the Anxin Wan developed by the Research Institute is a traditional Chinese medicine formula. Long-term use can even treat depression, and it has no side effects."

"Our traditional Chinese medicine is truly amazing. I'm going to get a bottle after work today."

Jiang Fei became interested in Anxin Wan.

She contacted everyone on the walkie-talkie, and they all turned to go to the Central Building.

With their contribution cards, everyone received a bottle of Anxin Wan.

The pills were brownish, about the size of a fingernail, with 10 pills in a bottle.

Instructions were on the bottle.

Take one pill at a time, chew or swallow, only once a day.

Su Liuyuan was curious about the taste, so he threw one in his mouth and chewed it.

The next second, his features contorted.

"So sour and bitter, like coptis mixed with lemon juice! Give me water!"

Jiang Fei quickly got him a bottle of drink from the car.

After drinking the entire bottle, Su Liuyuan finally recovered, saying with surprise, "I feel much clearer-headed now. That groggy feeling from waking up early is gone."

"The irritability I've felt these past few days due to the fluctuating temperatures has also disappeared."

Su Liuyuan looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, "This is good stuff."

"Swallowing it with water should be better. Chewing it is too disgusting, so sour and bitter."

Jiang Fei: "Keep them with you. Take one whenever your emotions feel abnormal."

After putting away the medicine bottles, everyone went to the mall to open for business.

Jiang Fei didn't leave even after Jiang Zhengkang returned.

Her uncle still had to pick up Xiao Shi from Yucai Academy in the afternoon, so she had to stay and continue helping.

At 16:00 in the afternoon.

Jiang Zhengkang was just about to go to Yucai Academy to pick up his child, when Jiang Xiaoshi returned.
