Return to Eastern City 516 (2)

“Although it’s obvious that this is taking advantage of you, at this point, we don’t have a better choice.” Xia Tian did not hide her true intentions; she was indeed using Si Ye. However, she found it more satisfying to use someone close rather than someone else.
Hearing her words, Si Ye chuckled and said, "I am your partner now. If you don't plan to use me, are you really hoping to use that Tang Zhai?"
A partner, after all, means a couple who are one entity, mutually indebted to each other.
It is said to be mutual benefit, which indicates that their relationship is valuable, and Si Ye is very pleased with this.
Moreover, what he owes here can be repaid in plenty of opportunities in the future...
……
Now that I've decided to return to the Eastern City, it's time to start making some preparations.
The cold season has unknowingly passed for two months, and the snow has decreased a lot in these past few days. I wonder if it's always like this at this time.
Summer Tian chose a sunny morning to open the door curtain for ventilation, feeling a bit nostalgic: "It's finally stopped snowing these past few days, and the wind has eased a lot. It feels like the cold season is coming to an end."
Siyue is curing cured meat in the cave and casually responds, "This year's winter is quite strange; it feels warmer than usual."
Outside, the snow is still thick, showing no signs of melting. For the past few days, he has been immersed in the joy of having a partner, so he comforted himself that perhaps his circumstances have changed, leading to different feelings inside, which in turn alters his perception of the external temperature.
In the past, he was always a lonely person, spending the cold seasons curled up alone in a cave, just covering himself with some dry grass to get through.
Whereas now, he has a companion by his side, the cave is stocked with everything they need, and there’s a mud bed—how could he feel cold?
“I have already sent a message to the people in Eastern City, and I will receive a response within seven days.” To protect himself and Xia Tian, Si Ye chose to conceal his identity for now, secretly entering the city to observe the situation before making further plans. “Right now, no one is going out; we'll wait until the weather warms up a bit before making our move—hurry in, don't just stand in the wind.”
Summer Tien obediently returned to the cave.
Now there is a very important matter - since we have decided to set out for the Eastern City after the spring begins, many things need to start being prepared at this time.
“What are you doing?” Si Ye looked at Xia Tian, who was handling a pile of unknown plants and placing them into a stone jar, and wanted to help. "Just tell me what you want to do, let me do it. You go over there and rest."
Summer Tian raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead: "I want to make paper."
Si Ye didn't understand what "paper" meant, "What did you say you want to do?"
He didn't understand, but the audience in the live stream clearly did.
What is paper?
It is one of the four great inventions of ancient Earth’s Huaxia civilization, a very precious historical artifact!
Now, there must be very few sheets made using the ancient method throughout the entire galaxy. Why is this streamer going to demonstrate paper-making in the live broadcast today???
```htmlWhat exactly is her background?
[No way, no way, can a streamer really live-stream papermaking???]
[I doubt there are many young people today who even know what paper is; it probably only exists in the main star museum now]```
【Xia Xia never disappoints us! She even knows how to make paper!】
【I really like this live-streaming room more and more, ancient Earth fans are overjoyed!】
