Chapter 33 Searching for Su Peixue in the Middle of the Night
Su Peixue was shivering. She was soaked to the bone, and the evening breeze made her feel very cold.
"You really are the one who fell into the water! Weren't you scared?"
She stood under the willow tree, soaked to the bone. Her Hanfu clung to her body, dripping water, and a small puddle of water accumulated at her feet. Her hair was disheveled, clinging to her cheeks and neck, and she clutched a silver hairpin and a pair of platform shoes in her hands. A gray shoe print, blurred by the water, was visible on the hem of her skirt.
"Is this your girlfriend? Your girlfriend is so brave! She just jumped into the water and saved a pregnant woman!"
"If it weren't for your partner, that pregnant woman would have been in grave danger! The ambulance doctor said it was fortunate the rescue was timely; if the pregnant woman had suffocated, the baby would have also suffered from oxygen deprivation, which would have been extremely dangerous!"
"Your girlfriend saved two lives!"
"The reporters should be here soon."
Su Peixue shook her head at Lin Ran.
She didn't want to be interviewed by reporters or anything like that.
Lin Ran understood. Seeing that Su Peixue was soaked and her heavy Hanfu was clinging to her body, making it difficult for her to move, he simply picked her up in a princess carry.
The girl was startled!
She never expected that Lin Ran would hug her!
Su Peixue rubbed her face against his neck. Her nose pressed into the hollow of his nape, and her lips brushed against the fine hairs on his skin.
"The deposit for the Hanfu might not be refundable." Su Peixue lowered her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, like a little girl who had made a mistake.
"No need to return it, it's brand new anyway, just consider it a gift. Just wash it when you get home."
Lin Ran carried her towards the parking lot. The streetlights cast their shadows on the ground, one on top of the other.
Su Peixue gave a soft "hmm".
Then she smiled faintly, raised her bright almond-shaped eyes, and looked at Lin Ran with a pleading expression, asking, "Am I amazing?"
"Wow, my Xue, hurry up and take off your clothes, they're all soaked. The car windows have privacy film on, so take them off and sit quietly in the car while I go buy you some clothes."
Su Peixue's cheeks were flushed, and she murmured softly, "I've already taken my clothes off. If I'm not going to sit here, I can go out for a walk."
Lin Ran gave the car keys to Su Peixue and told her to close the car door from the inside. Then he went to the mall to buy her clothes.
The girl took off all her soaked Hanfu inside, and then her clothes fell off one by one and scattered on the seat.
Soon she was left only with her underwear. Su Peixue's cheeks were flushed pink. Although she was the only one in the car, she felt a little strange sitting in the seat that Lin Ran had just been sitting in.
About half an hour later, Lin Ran returned and knocked on the window.
Su Peixue glanced around and saw Lin Ran outside the car, carrying large and small bags. She rolled down the window a little, enough to put the boxes of clothes inside.
Lin Ran had already turned her face away.
After all the clothes boxes were put inside, there was no sound of the window being rolled up.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a dazzling flash of white.
"Hurry up and roll up the car windows!" Lin Ran reminded him, frowning.
Are you testing me?
Am I the kind of person who can withstand tests?
"Brother Ran is keeping watch outside so no one can peek~"
You're talking nonsense.
The first person I wanted to peek at was Lao Tzu.
Lin Ran simply moved a little further away.
Su Peixue smiled slightly and opened each of the clothing bags, discovering that Lin Ran had bought her a complete outfit from head to toe.
They don't look cheap at all.
However, Su Peixue now accepts what Lin Ran gives her much more naturally.
This is also because Lin Ran has been given full control of the finances.
Since everything belongs to him, he can naturally accept what he gives him with pleasure.
After getting dressed, I put all the clothes I had taken off into a bag and placed it on the back seat.
Lin Ran took Su Peixue out for dinner again. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, he took her to a small supermarket and then went home.
Xu Wanru, who was minding the shop, was stunned when she saw Su Peixue's fresh and beautiful outfit. She remembered that Su Peixue hadn't worn this outfit when she went out during the day.
what's going on?
I felt a sense of unease and uncertainty.
night.
After taking a shower, Lin Ran lay in bed, habitually scrolling through her phone, preparing to go to sleep after a while.
I opened Xuexue's live stream room as if by some strange impulse and saw Su Peixue, who was indeed broadcasting from behind the counter.
There were over 2000 people in the live stream today. Those who are big spenders like Super Fish Treasure who constantly send super-hot gifts are obviously a minority. Most of them are just watching for free, and some who do spend money are just buying membership cards.
But based on this frequency of sending gifts, I calculated that the earnings in one night would be several hundred.
Lin Ran also received offers from several companies wanting to sign Su Peixue as a live streamer, but he rejected them all, as these contracts were full of tricks and traps.
He also understood Su Peixue's personality and knew that forcing her to do live streams would only become a psychological burden for her and cause more pressure, which was unnecessary.
Lin Ran has many ways to make money, and they'll be launching them soon. Letting Su Peixue treat live streaming as a hobby is also a good idea; not signing contracts with those agencies will give her more freedom.
Just then, Lin Ran noticed that Su Peixue's expression seemed a little off; her brows were slightly furrowed, and she kept putting one hand down to cover her stomach.
The viewers in the live stream didn't notice this, and in this game, Su Peixue was playing her signature champion, Fiora.
However, they didn't perform well and lost the game.
However, the comments were exceptionally tolerant of the female streamer, especially since she was so beautiful, so no one criticized her.
Occasionally, one or two negative comments would be immediately overwhelmed and drowned out by Su Peixue's fans.
"Sorry, I'm not feeling well today, I'm logging off now."
After Su Peixue finished speaking, she hurriedly turned off the broadcast.
Lin Ran's sleepiness dissipated somewhat.
Judging from Su Peixue's condition, she must be menstruating.
He went into the kitchen.
There was ginger in the refrigerator. The brown sugar was on the second shelf of the wall cabinet, mostly a half-full packet left over from last time. He took it out, tore open the packaging, and poured it into a small pot. He sliced the ginger, smashed it slightly with the knife before slicing, so the juice would come out faster. Three slices of ginger, two spoonfuls of brown sugar, water, and simmered over low heat.
When small bubbles started to appear in the pot, he stirred it with a spoon. The brown sugar melted, and the ginger slices swirled in the dark red liquid.
Turn off the heat and pour the ginger tea into a thermos.
Then I took out a box of ibuprofen from the first-aid kit at home.
After going out the door.
The door to his parents' room was slightly ajar. Lin Yuefeng and Xu Wanru watched their son tinkering in the kitchen for so long before leaving. They looked at each other for a moment, puzzled.
"You went to see that Xiao Su again, didn't you?" Lin Yuefeng asked.
Xu Wanru nodded: "What else? This kid really cares about Xiaoxue."
"According to you, that Xiao Su's background is indeed quite tragic. Now he's all alone and has no relatives. It's normal for him to rely on our son. Let's go to sleep. Anyway, they're all adults. Let them be," Lin Yuefeng said indifferently.
