171 Close Your Eyes When You Kiss
After being reborn, she had her own home! Du Yue looked at He Xing and walked closer to him. Du Yue stopped in front of He Xing and looked him in the eye. “Thank you, He Xing.”
He Xing reached out and touched Du Yue’s hair. “It’s what I should do. You’re welcome.”
Du Yue stared straight at He Xing, her eyes full of emotions. Slowly, she stood on her tiptoes and moved closer to He Xing’s lips. Their breaths merged, and their lips touched. Du Yue opened her eyes slowly and saw He Xing staring at her with his dark eyes, which were filled with surprise and panic.
Du Yue took a few steps back and smiled. Her tone was helpless and indulgent. “Didn’t anyone tell you to close your eyes when you kiss?
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know. But I’ll remember it in the future.” He Xing blushed.
Before Du Yue could speak again, He Xing pulled her into his arms. It was only when Du Yue was out of breath that she pushed He Xing away. “…Why did you bite me?” As Du Yue spoke, she reached out to touch her slightly swollen lips.
He Xing closed in again and stared at her thin lips for a while. “It’s fine. They’re a little red, but they’re not swollen. I’ll be more careful next time.”
Du Yue glared at him in annoyance. He was biting people like a puppy. Was there a next time? “About the iron gate in the small building… I think we should install it at the living room entrance. Let’s take it down and bring it here, okay?” Du Yue told He Xing.
He Xing knew that Du Yue was trying to change the subject, but he still went along with her. “Yeah, I think it’s quite appropriate. You rest here for a while. I’ll go and take it back.”
“Let’s go together.” The door was quite heavy, and they had to carry it up together previously.
He Xing waved his hand. “I can do it myself. If you’re bored, you can start decorating the place first. We can start work after I bring the gate back.” Since He Xing had said so, Du Yue did not insist and watched as He Xing walked out of the courtyard. Du Yue stood in the courtyard and looked up at the courtyard wall. The wall was quite high, about 2.5 meters. With this height, even if an electric fence was laid on top of it, it would not be too depressing to lounge in the courtyard.
The house was already connected to water and electricity, but when Du Yue tried it out just now, there was no water and only electricity. After all, the weather was extremely cold before and the water pipes must have been frozen. Although the temperature had risen, she did not know if some of the water pipes were damaged from being frozen. It would probably take some time for water to flow through.
Du Yue even went to take a look at the toilet. It was just an ordinary toilet. It was probably due to the limited conditions in the base that they could not build sewers, so they built these kinds of toilets. Du Yue had studied the entire courtyard twice and had a basic idea in her mind. Now, she just had to wait for He Xing to bring the iron gate back so that the two of them could start working.
Du Yue did not have to wait long before she saw He Xing driving back to the courtyard. The iron gate was tied to the roof of the car. Both of their cars were parked in the courtyard, but there was still more than enough s.p.a.ce. Du Yue helped He Xing remove the iron gate from the top of the car, then installed it directly outside the living room’s original door.
The two doors, one facing inside and one facing outside, did not affect each other. The windows were the most ordinary gla.s.s windows. Du Yue planned to install anti-theft windows on the outside. She had an anti-theft window in her s.p.a.ce, so she could just take it out and put it on. This small courtyard must have been built as part of the original summer resort.
As it was a one-story house, they did not have to worry about others peering into their yard from the second floor unless someone climbed up to the roof. Therefore, they did not have to worry about being seen by others while they were busy in the yard.
However, Du Yue’s inters.p.a.ce did not have a gate or a power grid. She still had to ask Zuo Mingdong for help and trouble him to help her buy those things. He Xing drove Du Yue to look for Zuo Mingdong. On the way, they saw people everywhere in the base. The weather had been cold for the past two years, and everyone would not go out unless there was something particularly important. It had been a long time since they had seen a sea of people like this.
Some people were busy fixing houses, while others took the opportunity to find what they wanted or could use from the collapsed houses.
There was also a group of people who were walking quickly in one direction as if they were looking for something. “Where are they going with so many of them?” Du Yue was a little puzzled.
He Xing also glanced at the crowd. “I don’t know. You can ask Captain Zuo later.”
