Chapter 35 Xu Wanru's Shock
Chapter 35 Xu Wanru's Shock
The hot water bottle started to cool down. Lin Ran picked it up, unwrapped the towel, and refilled it with hot water. This time she filled it even fuller than before, and tightened the cap as much as possible. She wrapped the towel back around her and placed it back on her lower abdomen.
Su Peixue fell asleep.
Her breathing became longer and more even. Her brow was still slightly furrowed, but much more relaxed than before. A hot water bottle was pressed against her lower abdomen, and she curled up, her knees drawn to her chest. Her other hand had somehow appeared, her fingers hooking the hem of Lin Ran's clothes.
Lin Ran did not pull the hem of her clothes out.
He continued fanning himself. The breeze from the palm-leaf fan was so gentle that it barely stirred the fine hairs on her forehead.
The lamp was on. The warm yellow light bathed her profile, turning the fine downy hairs a golden hue.
Insects are chirping outside the window. On a July night, the cicadas have stopped chirping, replaced by crickets. The sounds seep in through the gaps in the screen window, soft and continuous.
Su Peixue turned over. Her hand slid down from the hem of his clothes and landed on the sheets. She leaned closer to him, her forehead resting against the outside of his thigh.
He's not awake.
Lin Ran looked down at her. Her lips moved slightly, as if she were talking in her sleep, but no sound came out.
He switched the palm-leaf fan to his left hand and used his right hand to pull down the towel that had slipped up, covering her exposed calves.
Then continue fanning yourself.
The wind brushed past her shoulders, around her waist, and around her curled-up knees.
And so it went that night.
The next morning, Xu Wanru was getting ready to go out to restock when she arrived at the underground parking garage. Suddenly, she remembered that her car had been sent for maintenance the day before, and her gaze fell on the second-hand RAV4 next to her.
She lets her son drive this car now. Lin Ran got her driver's license at the beginning of summer vacation so that she could drive more easily.
Xu Wanru opened the car door and got in, immediately smelling a faint scent of a young woman's virginity.
Something is wrong!
Then, Xu Wanru saw the back seat full of shopping bags in the car's rearview mirror.
When I opened the shopping bag, it was full of girls' clothes that were soaking wet.
Hanfu, outer garments, and even underwear, all of them...
Xu Wanru's scalp tingled!
Okay, Lin Ran!
That's incredibly bold!
You not only messed with Xiaoxue, but you didn't even book a room and started it right there in the car, right?
For a moment, Xu Wanru really wanted to slap Lin Ran, but how could she say such a thing outright?
She had no choice but to get out of the car again without making a sound. It seemed she would have to call a car to restock today. She would just pretend she didn't see anything and wait for Lin Ran to come and get rid of the things in the car.
After a brief brainstorming session, Xu Wanru didn't think too much about it.
Since that girl likes Lin Ran, and Lin Ran and she have feelings for each other, plus their college entrance exam scores are exactly the same, perhaps this is fate?
Let them spend another four years developing their relationship at the same university; who knows, they might get married right after graduation?
Not bad.
When Lin Ran woke up, Su Peixue was still sleeping.
He arrived at the underground parking garage and had just gotten into his car when he remembered that Su Peixue's clothes from yesterday were still lying in the back.
I'll put it in the washing machine later.
Lin Ran drove to the hospital, registered, and got some medication to relieve menstrual cramps.
Just as I was about to leave the hospital, I saw a familiar but speechless woman coming out of the hospital, clutching her lower abdomen.
"Lin Ran, what do you mean? You even followed me to the hospital! Are you a stalker?!"
Chen Leyao, carrying two bags of medicine, said with a frown.
? ?
"Big sister, are you overly self-conscious? Why would I follow you?" Lin Ran said speechlessly.
Chen Leyao glanced at the medicine Lin Ran was carrying and sneered, "Oh, so you weren't following me? You, a grown man, came to the hospital alone to get menstrual cramp medicine. What? You have periods too? I didn't expect you to have specifically investigated my menstrual cycle, trying to impress me with this method?"
Lin Ran looked completely bewildered, and Chen Leyao glared at him: "My mother is waiting for me outside. You'd better not get any funny ideas and don't follow me! This is the last time I'm warning you!"
"Don't go yet!"
Lin Ran called out to her.
Chen Leyao snorted coldly. What? You've been exposed? Are you going to confess your feelings?
"You'd better hurry and get an appointment with a neurosurgeon. If you don't go soon, it'll be too late; you might not even be able to finish college!"
Lin Ran's words made Chen Leyao's face flush red instantly!
"Heh, you broke down after I called you out, got angry and even tried to yell at me. You think you can get a girl's attention with this kind of contrast? You're so childish!"
After Chen Leyao finished speaking, she walked away.
Lin Ran didn't know what else to say besides "awesome".
Why do I always run into such amazing people? It's so unlucky.
Yesterday, Lin Ran told her mother to hire another cashier.
With two months left in summer vacation, Su Peixue couldn't stay working as a cashier at the small supermarket forever; Lin Ran had more important things for her to help with.
I have over 100,000 yuan in hand now, so of course I want to make some more money in the next two months.
Lin Ran set her sights on opening an online store to sell women's clothing.
With Su Peixue's help and Lin Ran's business acumen, there's no need to worry about sales not being a hit this Double Eleven.
After returning the medicine to Su Peixue, he told her that he was going to the next city to purchase more.
Su Peixue's stomach was still hurting, but she insisted on coming along, only to be glared at by Lin Ran and sent back.
The girl curled up on the sofa, and for some reason, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction after being glared at so fiercely by Lin Ran.
It felt as if an electric current had shot from her spine to the top of her head, making Su Peixue's pretty face flush red and her heart pound like a deer's.
Lin Ran drove off to the neighboring city of Zhuzhou.
Lushan Market is bustling with people and is one of the largest clothing wholesale markets in southern Hunan. There are many small clothing factories in the surrounding area.
The entire garment industry in southern Hunan basically sources its goods from here.
Lin Ran looked for several factories and finally settled on a small factory with decent patterns, looking for this summer's hottest items.
Having lived a second life, Lin Ran knew exactly which products would sell well this year.
"Mr. Chen, how much are these items per piece?"
Some small vendors had already chosen their styles and were asking the factory owner questions.
Factory owner Mr. Chen was on the phone.
"Honey, is our daughter feeling better? Oh, she's home from the hospital this morning. That's good. I need to go greet our guests now. Thank you for taking good care of our daughter!"
Lin Ran quickly chose the style he wanted.
Off-the-shoulder tops, polka dot dresses, floral chiffon skirts, high-waisted A-line mini skirts, ripped jeans, and printed loose T-shirts.
