Saturday, early morning.
Jiang Ning stood at the doorway. There wasn't a breath of wind as he looked up at the sky, where only a few white clouds drifted.
The sun showed half its face over the east, quietly watching the human world—shy and timid, yet possessing a heat countless times more terrifying than magma.
"It's going to get hotter," Jiang Ning murmured to himself.
By his estimate, today's high would reach 35 degrees. For ordinary people, that was weather for turning on the air conditioner.
He looked toward the neighboring yard. Its gate was tightly shut, and Xue Yuantong was still asleep.
She had played games until midnight last night. By the time she woke up, it would probably be after eight.
Jiang Ning returned to his yard, turned on the tap, and drew some warm water to wash his face.
Although he could use spells to clean himself, he sometimes preferred washing his face by hand. It made him feel like an ordinary person.
After washing up, Jiang Ning spread out his Spiritual Sense toward the Solar Water Heater on the roof. Under its scan, the amount of water inside was immediately clear.
Compared with electric water heaters, Solar Water Heaters saved far more money.
However, their drawback was obvious: one had to keep an eye on the water level and refill it in time. Otherwise, suddenly running out of hot water while bathing at night would be rather awkward.
Usually, Xue Yuantong's family filled the Solar Water Heater at night, but Jiang Ning was used to using hot water in the morning. So after washing up in the mornings, he would generally refill it.
Once he was done, Jiang Ning went next door and simply made breakfast. When it was nearly eight, he entered Xue Yuantong's room
