Chapter 47

At night, Qi Huan tossed and turned in bed. "Can't sleep! ...System, sing a song for me to listen to."

"Sorry, that's not within the scope of this system's services."

"One hundred credits!"

"Very well, host. It would be my pleasure to serve you. What song would you like to hear?"

Qi Huan, wrapped in her blanket, gazed at the thatched roof, pondering for a moment before saying, "The beauty of the world is interwoven with you."

It was her favorite song from her previous life.

"...Now the orioles fly and grasses grow long, the one you love is on their way..."

The electronic voice of the system singing was quite grating. When the song ended, not only had Qi Huan not fallen asleep, but she felt more awake.

"Host, would you like another song? I'll give you a 20% discount."

Qi Huan shook her head vigorously, refusing, "Let's do something more pleasant. Help me take out the silver ingots and silver notes from the space."

Moonlight streamed through the window, casting a faint glow on the floor. Borrowing the light, she began counting her money.

Apart from the one thousand taels of silver notes given by Li Shuchen, she had specifically exchanged fifty silver ingots from the bank and stored them in the space, along with a bag of loose silver, and a bag of copper coins, having all types of currency for convenience in different situations.

In total, it amounted to nearly one thousand six hundred taels.

After counting the money and putting it back into the space, Qi Huan began checking her credit balance.

"System, check balance."

"Certainly, host. Your current credit balance is 6666."

"Exchange it all!"

With a swishing sound, packages fell next to her bed, piling up like a small mountain.

Peeking at them, Qi Huan sat up in bed. Instantly, a cold chill crept up her exposed back, seeping into her bones.

"Never mind, I'll unpack them tomorrow."

After lying back down and wrapping herself up like a caterpillar, Qi Huan gradually fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, when she woke up, the first thing she did was run to the kitchen, grab a knife, and slice open all the delivery boxes one by one to check their contents.

The first box contained toothbrushes and toothpaste;

The second box contained various cosmetics, from foundation to eyebrow pencils, double eyelid tapes, concealer pens, and more, a complete set.

The third box contained a crate of red wine.

The fourth box contained a set of mahjong tiles.

The fifth box contained a couple's down jackets, two turtleneck white sweaters, and two pairs of thermal pants.

And the last box, unexpectedly, contained fireworks and a lighter.

Technically, these were prohibited items that couldn't be delivered by courier. However, when the son of the small courier station leader got married in her previous life, she had helped transport a few boxes of fireworks back to his hometown, and he had given her two hundred yuan for gas.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, she noticed he had paused, and Qi Huan expectantly raised her eyes, asking, "Do they look good?"

The girl before him had exquisitely painted features and clear, bright eyes. A line of poetry suddenly emerged in Li Shuchen's mind: "Come and go, laughing by the window, to love the painting of deep and shallow eyebrows at leisure."

He wished to draw her eyebrows for a lifetime.

Seeing him lost in thought, Qi Huan pouted and turned around, scooping a ladle of hot water from the pot and pouring it into the basin over the thin ice, instantly melting it.

In the blurred reflection, her arched eyebrows were curved and elegant, her almond-shaped eyes bright and clear, a stunning and alluring combination.

Qi Huan was extremely satisfied. For the new year, she needed not only to put on makeup but also to wear new clothes.

After rummaging through her belongings, she discovered that she had never worn the down jacket before, so she decided to take it out and secretly wear it at home for a day to celebrate the joyous new year.

She returned to her room, took off her cotton robe and pants, put on a white turtleneck sweater and black thermal pants, and finally donned a long, pink down jacket.

The down jacket came with a belt, which, when fastened, accentuated her slender waist.

Completing the outfit with a pair of Martin boots, Qi Huan felt as if she had returned to modern society.

Catching a glimpse of the remaining men's down jacket, she planned to give it to Li Shuchen as a token of thanks for drawing her eyebrows.

The more time they spent together, the closer they would become, so Qi Huan decided to give it to him first.

As for Yan Qinghe and the others, she could only temporarily apologize, as she currently had no credits left to make additional purchases.

"System, can I buy on credit?"

"Sorry, host, that's not allowed!"

Rejected by the system, she had no choice but to take the clothes and find Li Shuchen first.

"Li Shuchen, this 'Immortal's Robe' is for you!"

Li Shuchen took the down jacket in his hands, but his eyes remained fixed on her smiling face, a hint of admiration flickering in their depths. Sincerely, he said, "You look very beautiful today."

"Do I not look good on other days?"

"...You look good every day." He patted Qi Huan's bun, his eyes brimming with laughter.

Suddenly, a discordant voice rang out. Yan Qinghe poked his head out of the room, glanced at the sky outside, and asked quizzically, "The sun didn't rise from the west today, did it? Why is Li Shuchen praising someone all of a sudden?"

After speaking, he excitedly pointed at himself and demanded, "Li Shuchen, praise me too! Shower me with compliments like 'graceful as a jade tree,' 'as fragrant as an orchid,' 'as handsome as Pan An,' 'as valiant and mighty as can be!'

"...I only praise others."

Li Shuchen glanced at him indifferently, stepped into the room, and prepared to change into the new Immortal's Robe that Qi Huan had gifted him.

After being rejected, it took Yan Qinghe a while to react. "Does that mean I'm not a person? Then what am I?"

The black dog lying by the door looked at him and barked twice.

"Don't bark! I'm not the same as you... You're barking again! Want to see who can bark louder? Woof woof woof woof!"

Qi Huan couldn't help but laugh at his antics.

Soon, Li Shuchen emerged, wearing the down coat she had given him.
