“Don’t worry, Su Niang, it will be safe,”
Li Qian’s voice carried a hint of comfort, and for this woman, he would always shed some disguise to show the softer side of his heart.

He opened the small door and stepped out to the side: “Don’t go back after you finish cooking tomorrow, just stay in the partition.”
“Yes, okay,” Su Niang nodded, watching him leave.
The conversation among the three of them had ignored Mo Yan completely from beginning to end.
Su Mo remembered when this group asked about Lu Chen, he simply looked disdainful and did not reply.
Jianxiong stretched and let out a breath, “So, what do we do now?”
“Go back to sleep, conserve strength and store up energy.”
Su Mo took a deep breath without asking further, today was the last peaceful day before the big battle.
All day long, Su Mo was in the room, and Lu Chen watched her repeatedly brewing the Biluochun Tea.
“It can store water by itself?” It was the first time Lu Chen saw her making tea, and he was somewhat surprised.
“Yes, just put in the leaves, set the temperature, and it will boil automatically,” Su Mo replied.
Without progress in craftsmanship, the healing effect could not be improved.
Su Mo did not get discouraged; with care, she poured the cooled tea into two plastic bottles.
“In case we get injured tomorrow, this could hold us over for a while,” she said while busy at work, talking to Lu Chen.
“Mhm,” the man nodded.
Su Mo blinked at him and stuffed the bottles into his backpack.
“What about my Jasmine Tea?
Brew some and take it with us.”
With a wave of Lu Chen’s hand, a small glass cabinet full of Jasmine blossoms appeared on the table.
As for making tea, Su Mo had no advanced skills, but as long as it provided a status bonus, it would be fine; she could learn from a professional afterwards.
A cabinet full of Jasmine, she opened the lid and grabbed only a small handful out and placed it into the pot.
The delicate teapot automatically filled with water and came to a boil, steam gently wafted onto Su Mo’s face, condensing into droplets; she stared unblinkingly at the top of the pot, waiting for it to finish.
A familiar ‘ding’ sounded in her mind, and her panel refreshed.
As expected, the status that came out was within her anticipations just like yesterday.
[Name]: Jasmine Tea (Collected)
[Used Materials]: Jasmine
[Skill Level]: 20%
[Flavor Score]: 3 (Out of 10 points, the higher the score, the more the bonus)
[Status Bonus]: Restores 20% energy (Up to a maximum of 50% restoration)
“It’s ready,” Su Mo wiped the droplets off her face and carefully handled the teapot to pour a small bowl of tea.
“What?” Having witnessed the entire process, Lu Chen couldn’t help but scrutinize the tea, which smelled profoundly of Jasmine, with several petals floating on top.
Su Mo scanned the room and finally fixed her gaze on the washbasin in the toilet; she went to get it, placed it beside Lu Chen’s feet, and looked up expectantly: “Use some of your superpower, then drink this and see.”
As told, Lu Chen created a large rectangular ice block in the basin, losing only a little bit of his superpower.
He picked up the tea and took a sip.
Different from the attributes of eating meat, a cool sensation surged up from his lower abdomen.
He could feel the small portion of his superpower that he had just lost being completely replenished.
Su Mo saw him maintaining the tea-drinking posture for a long time, as if petrified.
She reached out and waved her hand in front of his face anxiously, “How is it?
What does it feel like?”
“Replenished,” Lu Chen dazed for a moment before answering.
“That’s good,” Su Mo patted her chest relievedly and smiled, “Give me two empty bottles, and tomorrow you and Jianxiong carry them in your bags.”
She reached out to him, and Lu Chen handed her two filled mineral water bottles.
Su Mo poured the water into a basin with ice, which could still be used for washing up at night, because there was only such a small amount of Jasmine, she only brewed a teapot and divided it into two bottles.
Lu Chen remained seated, watching her busily with a thousand thoughts in his eyes, and a slight frown appeared on his face.
After filling the enhanced water for him, she took two more bottles to Jianxiong and asked him to carry them tomorrow.
The two plastic bottles contained a brownish liquid, looking a bit unsightly with tea leaves and flowers inside, but Jianxiong dared not underestimate these teas.
Su Mo entered Jianxiong’s room and explained the effects in detail, “The leaves are for healing, the Jasmine for superpower recovery, but it doesn’t recover much.”
She wasn’t sure what recovering 20% meant, but anyway, it wasn’t much.
Jianxiong, familiar with healing, was shocked once more by the Jasmine, “Re…recover superpowers!?”
Su Mo nodded at him and cautioned, “We don’t know what might happen tomorrow, remember to take these just in case.”
Jianxiong held the bottles as if they were treasures and carefully packed them into his backpack, repeatedly saying, “I understand, don’t worry, sister.”
Su Mo patted his shoulder and said with a beaming smile, “I’ll take my leave then.”
Back in her room, Lu Chen was assembling firearms on his bed.
When she entered, he glanced up at her, continuing his work without pause.
“We should take the chance to look for some glass bottles to bring back; always using plastic bottles feels rather shabby,” Su Mo muttered as she tidied the tea set on the table.
“Hmm.”
She handed him the glass case with the Jasmine to put back into the space, then climbed into bed, which was still covered with various snacks she had spilled out from her bag.
Two packets of hot pot seasoning she had collected from the supermarket were particularly conspicuous underneath a knife.
She moved the knife aside, took out the hot pot seasoning, and her mouth instantly started to water at the sight of the fiery red seasoning blocks.
“Lu Chen, keep these two packets safe for me, will you?” She leaned over the edge of the upper bunk, dangling the seasonings down toward him.
“Foodie,” the man teased, yet naturally took the seasonings and tossed them into the space.
Thankfully, the items were small, or else the already full space wouldn’t have fit anything more.
Su Mo chuckled, not the least bit bothered, and lay on the bed, opening a can of potato chips to eat.
They stayed in the dorm for the entire day.
Zhao Xiwen was currently in Chu Mengyao’s room, where both shared a sense of commiseration over the ugly wounds on each other’s bodies.
“Was it Su Mo who ordered Jianxiong to do it?” Zhao Xiwen frowned at her, and although she already had a general idea of what happened, those large bruises over Chu Mengyao’s neck and arms were still a horrifying sight.
Chu Mengyao nodded with tears, “With such a commotion, everyone knows now.”
“That malicious woman!” Zhao Xiwen slammed her hand down on the bedside railing.
Her own leg had been set back in place by a medical student found in the prison with the help of Mo Yan’s people, but a disability was now certain.
She wrapped her arm around Chu Mengyao’s shoulder and whispered with a thought, “Su Mo has a Space superpower.”
“What did you say?” Chu Mengyao looked up in disbelief, “Isn’t she just an ordinary person?”
“Pretending.
They moved the food from the supermarket,” said Zhao Xiwen, no longer willing to keep secrets, “Go tell Mo Yan.”
“No, I can’t.”
