Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

Xia An and Chen Zhiyi cuddled for a while, and then she couldn't help but fall asleep.

He smiled slightly and left her a standard set of clothes and shoes.

He also gave them three bottles of spiritual spring water and left a note instructing them on how to use it.

As for the watch, he plans to give it to her when they get their marriage certificate in a few days.

Xia An got up and went to Yang Yanqiu's room. Seeing that she was already asleep, he withdrew.

Two bundles of firewood, fifty catties each of refined rice, wheat flour, and sweet potatoes were left in the main room.

There are five or six kinds of vegetables and fruits, each weighing about two pounds. Two pounds each of wild boar meat, roe deer meat, and donkey meat are also kept.

He then closed the door and left.

Xia An turned to go back, but suddenly glanced at the Yang family's house.

"August will be here the day after tomorrow, it would be a shame to waste a sign-in."

"How about we give it a try?"

He muttered something to himself, a look of hesitation on his face.

"Since the illusion needs to dissipate for an hour each day, let's set it for late at night."

Xia An murmured something, then changed her appearance again using the "Concealed Form" technique.

Immediately, he continued to use the "Treading Snow Without a Trace" technique, entering the house and dispelling his illusory form.

After a quick confirmation, he climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed) and gently embraced Zhou Jiajia.

Soon, Zhou Jiajia slowly woke up.

Xia An paused, his hand holding hers faltering, a strange expression creeping onto his face.

However, it was just now that the Heart-to-Heart Seal was triggered, and a message appeared in my mind:

Zhou Jiajia – Like/Dislike!

Uh~

What's going on?

Xia An blinked, somewhat unsure of what was going on.

Didn't I have a good impression of this woman before?

Why all of a sudden... Could it be...?

Xia An considered a certain possibility and had a vague guess in his mind.

It seems that their relationship wasn't as harmonious as Yang Yanjun had imagined.

Zhou Jiajia paused for a moment before her voice came out softly.

"I'm very tired today. Do you want to hurry up, or do you want to find someone else?"

Her face showed a hint of impatience, and a flash of disgust appeared in her eyes.

All of this was shrouded in darkness, but Xia An saw it through the moonlight streaming in through the window.

He hesitated. Resistance and aversion were inevitable. Should he continue?

"If you don't want to, then I'll go to sleep?"

Zhou Jiajia's voice continued, very soft, but with a hint of relief.

Xia An felt a little more at ease. Since she was already here, she might as well give it a try.

Thinking this, he gently turned over and lowered his head to kiss her two red lips.

"..."

"An anomaly detected..."

"Re-testing...judging..."

Hearing the system voice in his ear, Xia An's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little nervous.

But regardless, since we've already started, there's no need to back down.

Zhou Jiajia slowly closed her eyes, a hint of helplessness flashing through her heart, but she did not resist.

Anyway, it'll be over soon, so just consider it... being chewed by a dog.

She thought to herself quietly.

Of course,

As time went by, Zhou Jiajia gradually sensed that something was wrong.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she opened her eyes to look at the figure on top of her.

In the dim moonlight, the person before her was someone she knew well.

Can…

But her body's sensations told her that something seemed amiss...

Zhou Jiajia hesitated for a moment, then her eyes gradually became misty...

I don't know how much time has passed.

Zhou Jiajia opened her eyes, her teeth clenched, and whispered, "Did you... take your medicine today?"

Xia An paused slightly, then responded in a low voice:

"Today, Xia, the educated youth, gave me acupuncture and a pill."

Having said that, he said no more.

He has given up hope of checking in now, since he has already successfully checked in long ago.

If that's the case, then don't even think about signing in. There's a saying:

In this life, when...

Zhou Jiajia closed her eyes, but the strange feeling in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

A thought inexplicably flashed through her mind, and she was slightly startled.

She gently raised her hand, but a sudden hesitation struck her. Finally, she slowly closed her eyes.

Gradually, there were more responses.

for a long time,

Seeing that Zhou Jiajia had fallen asleep, Xia An was about to leave when he heard a system notification.

"Test complete!"

"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the intimacy check-in. You have received 10 taels of gold, a woodworking skill, and 16 winter hats."

"Congratulations, host, on your successful special check-in. You have received an oil press, a vest, and hypnosis."

"The corresponding item reward has been placed in the Spirit Spring Space. Please check it."

Hearing the notification tone, Xia An was somewhat surprised, but mostly delighted.

He almost thought there wouldn't be any sign-ins, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise!

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt someone hug him from behind.

At the same time, a soft, alluring voice gently sounded in his ear.

"Jun'er, do you still have the strength?"

……

A long time has passed.

After everyone fell asleep, Xia An used the "Treading Snow Without a Trace" technique to leave, and his illusory form returned.

Xia An followed the river upstream, a strange smile playing on his lips.

She has a great figure, fair and smooth skin, and is both alluring and stimulating...

No wonder Yang Yanjun likes it; it's a pity he couldn't do this kind of thing.

Using someone else's identity is a bit off, but it's okay for a little emotional adjustment.

Xia An shook her head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

He composed himself; it was already two o'clock, and dawn would be breaking soon.

We still need to go back soon.

Back in his own home, Xia An lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), his consciousness entering the spiritual spring space.

The winter hats, without a doubt, were all navy blue, all the same style, and typical of that era.

Of course, it has a better heat retention effect.

The specially designed honeycomb stove may be outdated in style, but it can still achieve complete combustion.

In other words, no nitric oxide will be produced, which is good.

In addition, this specially designed honeycomb stove can produce no black smoke and settle coal dust.

"This thing is more than ten times safer than the current honeycomb stoves."

Xia An chuckled softly.

In this era, the main concerns when using honeycomb briquettes were carbon monoxide, coal dust, and black smoke.

The former can cause poisoning, while the latter can damage the lungs and is also dirty.

Without both of these, wouldn't it be more than ten times safer?

If we could also remove sulfur and nitrogen compounds...

Thinking this, Xia An's gaze fell on the specially made honeycomb briquette synthesis stove.

"really!"

"The system never lets me down!"

He chuckled softly and murmured, "This synthesis furnace is clearly for synthesizing honeycomb briquettes."

Honeycomb briquettes can be made simply by adding coal, clay, and lime.

The honeycomb briquettes synthesized from it will be free of toxic substances such as sulfur and nitrogen compounds and heavy metals.

The only thing to be careful about is...

Occasional ventilation is necessary to reduce carbon dioxide levels and increase oxygen levels.

Xia An was very satisfied with this and decided to get some raw materials to make a batch later.

Winters in Heilongjiang Province are still quite cold.

Xia An smiled, looked at the oil press, and discovered it was another good thing.

Add the ingredients, and the oil will be released...

Peanuts, soybeans, rapeseed, sesame seeds, etc., are all acceptable.

Fatty meat can also be pressed to extract oil.

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly, "Later we can plant some peanuts, soybeans, and rapeseed."

"Sesame and sunflowers can also be grown; they can both produce oil."

Although sesame oil is not suitable for stir-frying, it is quite good as a seasoning oil.

With these thoughts in mind, Xia An placed the identity documents for the two aliases into the study on the ninth floor.

Immediately, he began searching through the memory palace for the memories of the two aliases.
