Chapter 404: Who Is That Woman? Why Have I Never Seen Her?

Liu Chuxue had no idea someone was plotting against her.

When the sky was just beginning to lighten, she woke up, but since she couldn't tell the time by looking at the sky, she thought she needed to buy a watch soon, otherwise checking the time would be inconvenient.

Seeing that Ji Kunlan across from her remained still, she did not move either, thinking about her plans for what came next.

In two years, the college entrance examination would be restored; besides not being able to abandon her textbooks, the most important thing was to accumulate initial capital during these two years while waiting for the trumpet call of the reform wind.

A good amount of grain had already been stockpiled in the space, so she thought she should find time to go to the black market to inquire about the market prices.

She had not considered selling things bit by bit; that would be time-consuming and laborious, not to mention unsafe.

So she had not been in a hurry before, just wanting to gather a batch and sell it all at once.

Anyway, with her current martial power and cheat, she feared no one would try to strike from the shadows; if anyone really wanted to betray and eat her out, she would simply wipe out the whole group, making them regret it deeply.

Besides, she could use these few years to collect more old items, and after the opening up, that would truly be delicious.

Just as she was lost in thought, she heard Ji Kunlan across from her turn over, and the sound of rustling reached her ears.

Seeing Ji Kunlan stir, Liu Chuxue asked, "Kunlan, what time is it?"

Ji Kunlan replied in a hoarse voice, "Six thirty."

After speaking, she closed her eyes again.

Remembering what they had said yesterday about getting up at seven and eating breakfast at seven twenty, she could no longer lie there.

Everyone was rushing to wash up; one could easily imagine the scene in the water room in a moment.

She sat up quietly and carefully; fortunately, the beds in the dormitory were sturdy and made no creaking sounds.

She took her washbasin, put her towel and tooth cup inside, opened the door gently, and walked out.

All the girls' dormitory buildings here were three stories high; they lived on the second floor, and the water room was in the very middle of this floor. To her surprise, when she arrived, people were already washing up inside; it seemed they thought the same as she did, preferring to wake up a bit early rather than squeeze in with others.

She nodded to the two people inside and found a spot to stand.

By the time she finished brushing her teeth and washing her face, people had started entering the water room one after another.

However, after everyone came in, they kept secretly glancing at her.

She checked her own attire and found nothing improper, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

When she left the water room, she heard murmuring behind her: "Who is that woman? Why have we never seen her? She looks too good; she's even more beautiful than our factory flower."

"I haven't seen her before, but that person's skin is so good; not only is it white, but you can't see a single pore; it's truly envy-inducing."

When Liu Chuxue pushed the door open and returned, Ji Kunlan was still asleep.

Upon returning, she specifically fetched some water to wash her hands; hearing the noise in the corridor growing louder, she said, "Kunlan, it's time to get up."

Ji Kunlan made a soft "Mm" sound: "You really got up early."

While applying snowflake cream to her face, Liu Chuxue said, "Maybe it's because I slept in a different place, plus I'm still excited about starting work; I couldn't fall back asleep after waking up earlier."

As she spoke, Ji Kunlan also got out of bed, took her toiletries, and joined the lively morning rush outside.

Just as she finished getting ready, Duan Ruirui knocked on the door and walked in: "Liu Chuxue, take your lunch box; let's go to the First Canteen this morning to eat steamed cornbread. I heard a new chef arrived who makes the steamed cornbread to perfection; let's go try it today."

Ji Kunlan pushed the door open and entered: "Who did you hear that from?"

Duan Ruirui smiled: "Hurry up, we're waiting for you; if we go too late, we might not get any. I heard it yesterday from a quality inspector in Workshop Three while I was out taking the bus."

"Alright, I'll be ready in a moment."
