Since Xia Ju wanted to do it, Du Yue naturally would not dampen her enthusiasm. “Okay, then you can try!”

It was naturally a good thing if she could do it. If she could not, she could just take it as finding something to do to kill time.

Xia Ju was obviously not just talking about it. She really treated this matter as something very important. After lunch, Xia Ju, who had cleaned up the dishes, hurriedly returned to her room. Seeing Xia Ju slam the door with a bang, Du Yue and He Xing looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

The two of them returned to the room together. Du Yue took out a Snowy Cold Fruit from the space and cut it in half for He Xing. “There’s too much food in the space. If I hadn’t taken out the logistics boxes today, I really wouldn’t have remembered these fruits.” The Snowy Cold Fruit had been in the space for several years, but it was no different from when it was first picked.

After taking the fruits out of the space for a while, the originally frozen fruits slowly softened. When they bit down, it was soft and sweet. Du Yue took a bite, and doubts welled up in her heart. “I remember that it didn’t have this soft texture when we ate it before.”

Too much time had passed, so much so that Du Yue could not tell if she had remembered wrongly or not. He Xing also took a bite and nodded slowly after hearing Du Yue’s statement. “Yes, it wasn’t like this before. It used to be crunchy. Maybe it’s because the temperature has risen now, so the fruit has softened.”

“In that case, this Snowy Cold Fruit is a little like the frozen pears in the northeast.” Du Yue held half of the fruit in her hand and looked at it seriously. It was fine if she had not thought about it in this way before, but now that she thought about it, she felt that it was more and more like it.

He Xing nodded. “So be it. Anyway, I think it’s quite delicious whether it’s hard or soft. Moreover, it’s juicier now. It’s quite satisfying to take a sip of the juice.”

Du Yue nodded in agreement. “It’s indeed very satisfying.”

The two of them quickly finished the Snowy Cold Fruit in their hands. Du Yue did not throw away the fruit core directly. Instead, she picked out the seeds inside, dried them, and put them into a bottle. Now, there was no suitable environment to grow the Snowy Cold Fruit, but perhaps they could plant the seeds in the future?

She kept the seeds first. There was still a lot of empty space in the space anyway. During dinner, Du Yue took another Snowy Cold Fruit to let Xia Ju have a taste. However, Xia Ju seemed a little absent-minded. In the past, when they were eating, Xia Ju was the most active one. Although she was chewing now, her eyes were a little dull. She looked at the air in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Xia Ju put down her chopsticks.

It was not until Du Yue and He Xing finished eating that Xia Ju got up and went to the kitchen with the chopsticks.

Looking at Xia Ju’s busy back, Du Yue approached He Xing and said in a low voice, “How does she manage to think and work at the same time? I feel that her head and body seem to be operating independently.”

He Xing nodded. “I don’t know either. It’s indeed amazing.”

As the two of them were talking, Xia Ju walked out of the kitchen. Xia Ju swept the dining area with a broom. Before she left, she glanced at Du Yue. “Not only can I wash the dishes while thinking, but I can also hear your whispers.”

Du Yue secretly clicked her tongue and could not help but wonder if Xia Ju really had an extra head. Since Xia Ju was now fully committed to the research of the nutrient solution project, Du Yue and He Xing did not ask her to go out at night. The two of them changed their clothes and drove out after telling Xia Ju. He Xing stepped on the accelerator and headed straight for the seed station.

It was already past seven o’clock at night, and the sky had completely darkened. Although there were street lamps on the road, the lights were dim and gave people a completely different feeling than during the day. During the day, people came and went around the Seed Station, making it very lively. There was no one nearby now, and it was eerily quiet. He Xing parked the car and got out of the car with Du Yue.

The two of them had just stabilized themselves and had not had the time to look around when they heard the sound of approaching footsteps. Immediately after, Guo Deyou’s sinister voice sounded. “The two of you are really not afraid of death. We haven’t even gone to look for you, but you’ve delivered yourselves to our doorstep..”
