Chapter 175 There is something extra in the bag (please subscribe)
The road was smooth when we came back. We left Wutong Town at two o'clock. Although we did not take the expressway, at early three o'clock, Lin Lu and Li Xingruo had already returned to Sunan City.
As the surrounding road conditions gradually became familiar, Lin Lu turned off the navigation on his mobile phone and turned to look at Li Xingruo in the passenger seat. The neighbor sister who had just said she wasn't sleeping was now sleeping soundly and comfortably.
She folded her arms and curled up slightly on the chair. The seat belt was stretched diagonally in front of her body, making a graceful arc. Her big eyes were softly closed, and her long eyelashes like a row of small brushes occasionally trembled slightly.
, her head was tilted towards the forest road, her mouth was slightly open, her waterfall-like hair was naturally scattered, and her sleeping face looked cute and well-behaved, making people want to take a bite.
While waiting at a certain red street light intersection, Lin Lu leaned over and smacked her soft little mouth a few times. Because he had eaten milk candy before, the sister next door tasted particularly special.
of sweetness.
"Well……"
"Sister Xingruo, wake up soon, we're in Sunan."
Li Xingruo opened his eyes drowsily and saw his face close in front of him, so he nudged him twice in response, then rubbed his eyes, sat up straight, and stretched a little.
"So fast!"
"Do you feel like you've traveled through time again?"
"...When did I fall asleep?"
"You have been asleep for more than half an hour. You were chatting with me. As we chatted, your voice disappeared. When I turned around, you were already asleep!"
"Then it must be all your fault. If I were riding in the car by myself, I would never fall asleep."
Li Xingruo felt that Lin Lu must have been affected by sleeping pills. Every time he was with him, he felt sleepy and wanted to sleep with him. He thought about how he would dare to sleep so peacefully in a car, let alone from this place.
It's such a long journey from Liang Xi to southern Jiangsu. In the past, every time I went back, I took the high-speed rail and had to change to the bus and subway for a bumpy journey. But now I sit in his car, close my eyes comfortably, and open my eyes.
Arrived in southern Jiangsu.
As a road freak, she didn't know where she was currently, but it didn't matter, it was enough to know that Lin Lu was by her side.
He took out the water bottle, opened it, and handed it to Lin Lu first.
"Hey, drink some water. Are you not in a hurry to pee this time?"
"...I made a point of going to the toilet first when I went out this time, so of course I'm not in a hurry."
"Huh, why didn't you go to the toilet first last time?"
"There's no rush to go back to Liangxi with Sister Xingruo, just forget about it."
Lin Lu took the water bottle she handed over and drank a few sips of water. When the green light came on, he handed the water bottle to her and started the car smoothly.
Sure enough, the best way to improve your driving skills is to run short and long distances. Compared with when he first got his driver's license, Lin Lu is now as stable as an experienced driver.
Li Xingruo took the water bottle he drank from and drank some water in small sips. When he first woke up, his throat was a little dry, but after it was moistened, he felt more energetic.
"Then shall we go home first or go to my mother's place first?"
"Well, let's go to Auntie's place first! Anyway, I have nothing else to do when I go home. My mother has stuffed me with a lot of things. You will go back to school tonight, and you will have military training in the next half month, so
I can't finish the food, so I'll bring some to Auntie Wen and Uncle Wen, and then pick up Xiaoman."
"Is Sister Xingruo's archive of manuscripts still enough? You haven't coded anything in the past three days. You're being lazy!"
"It's almost bottoming out! You don't need to disturb me when you're not at home. I can write and save my manuscript with peace of mind, so I can play again during the National Day."
"Really or not, does Sister Xingruo code more when I'm not at home?"
"Of course!"
From the day it was put on the shelves on July 22nd to now, Li Xingruo's book has been on the shelves for almost two months. It has been updated quite diligently, with a steady update of 5,000 words a day. It now has more than 300,000 words. The average volume of the book is
The number of pre-orders has reached over 8,000, making it a top-notch new book among Haitang.
The original plan was to write about 400,000 words, but as I wrote it, I found that it was quite good. I estimate that I can write about 600,000 words at most, which is a lot for a female channel.
Since it's still good, Li Xingruo won't be in a hurry to finish it. After all, he can make more money with more words. If it can exceed 10,000 orders during the serialization period, then it will be more advantageous to negotiate with major publishers for the first printing.
Thinking about it now, it feels like a dream. I have been working on the street for so many years, and suddenly I got the idea and wrote a popular book. The current results are beyond my imagination before, but now I have actually written such results.
, but the mood seemed very calm, with a sense of calmness that comes naturally from flowers and bees. Perhaps this is the confidence and confidence that Ru Linlu has accumulated over many years of painting.
Li Xingruo doesn't have high demands on Lin Lu at present. She just needs him to study hard and accumulate experience. As for making money, her sister can support him. Needless to say, her current royalties plus salary are four
Fifty thousand a month, it will definitely increase sharply after the physical publication, which is more than enough to take care of this stinky brother.
However, most authors in this field are melancholy about the future. After all, everyone will have a day when their inspiration disappears. As a writer once said, the number of words a person can write in his life is limited. When that number of words is reached, it will be over.
She could no longer write a word, so while she could still write, Li Xingruo worked harder to write more. When she couldn't write anymore and her bratty brother had grown up, he would be the one to take care of her.
, after all, his profession is different from hers, in art and design, etc., but the older he gets, the more popular he becomes.
Thinking of this, Li Xingruo felt that the two of them were a perfect match. After she saved a lot of money in the future, she could go out with him to play around. She would go collecting scenery, and he would go sketching, making money while having fun. It was really nice to think about it.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Lin Lu asked again: "Then it will be National Day after my military training is over, and I will have seven days off. Where do you plan to go, Sister Xingruo?"
"Well, find a place further away!"
"Back to Liangxi?"
"...You are so tanned after military training, how can I take you back?"
"Sister Xingruo, I feel like Uncle Li and Auntie see that I am no longer twenty years old."
"Eh? My mother, did they ask you?"
"That's not true. When I just got in the car to get my things, Uncle Li said that Sister Xingruo had brought the big umbrella in my trunk before."
"...!"
Yes, it probably rained during the Qingming Festival before. Li Xingruo exchanged umbrellas with him. She took his big umbrella home. Her father also asked her who gave her the big umbrella. She said
It was given to me by the high school student who tutored me.
"well."
"What's wrong, Sister Xingruo?"
"Life is not easy, sister sighs, drive your car!"
Regardless of whether Mom and Dad can see it or not, if Li Xing can tell it, Mom and Dad are really satisfied with Lin Lu, and this visit has successfully brought Mom and Dad into the camp of the Waiting faction.
, there is nothing to worry about for now.
When he arrived at the community where his mother lived, he parked the car on Lin Lu. Li Xingruo sent a message to Liang Xi's parents to report that they were safe, and the two of them took their things upstairs.
It was about three o'clock in the afternoon. My mother was collecting clothes on the balcony. Uncle Wen was sitting on the sofa playing chess with his laptop. The sisters were playing peek-a-boo with the little fat cats. Xiao Man and the alternating cat
The younger sister is responsible for hiding, and the other younger sister is responsible for finding.
Seeing Lin Lu come back, Momo and Yanyan pounced on them.
"elder brother--!"
"elder sister--!"
"I don't know where Xiaoman is hiding! We searched for a long time but couldn't find him!"
"Ah?! Has Xiaoman lost it?!" Li Xingruo was startled.
Lin Lu was also stunned. After listening to the explanations from his sisters, he raised his head and looked around. He easily saw the yawning cat lying on the refrigerator and lazily looking over. Xiaoman was also planning to
Those who came to greet me had a hard time finding such a good hiding place, and they couldn't let Momo Yanyan discover it.
"It's not lost, isn't Xiaoman in the house?" Lin Lu said with a smile.
"Where is it! I looked under the bed, but I didn't see Xiao Man!" The sisters were so anxious.
Uncle Wen and my mother on the side also came over.
"You're back, how are you? Did the journey go well?"
"Very good." Lin Lu straightened his back somewhat proudly.
"Auntie, Uncle Wen, these are all brought back from Liangxi, some home-grown vegetables, and some specialties." Li Xingruo also greeted with a smile.
"Yeah, there are so many! If Xiaoruo takes them home to eat, he doesn't have to go to the trouble of buying groceries."
"There are some in the car. I can't finish them myself. My mother asked me to bring some to my aunt and uncle Wen. There is also a killed native chicken and this bag of fried fish. They are all
The fish my grandpa caught were not big, but they were fried very fragrant and crispy!"
Li Xingruo and Lin Lu helped pack out all the things, such as snacks and plum candies. The sisters' eyes lit up when they saw it. When they took out the bag of dried fish, a plush head appeared.
Gua then squeezed in from among the sisters.
"Meow meow meow?"
"...Xiao Man! Xiao Man, why did you suddenly appear again?!"
The sisters admired the little fat cat so much that they could not play the game of hide-and-seek in their entire lives.
As they got acquainted with each other, Li Xingruo now became more and more comfortable coming to Lin Lu's house. Zou Wanrou particularly liked this virtuous, sensible and gentle girl. She also liked her kind and considerate aunt Uncle Wen and her cute and clinging sisters.
Li Xingruo and Zou Wanrou cooked dinner together, and it didn't take much effort. After all, the aunt and the others brought back a lot of delicious food from their hometown, plus she and Lin Lu brought two different kinds of delicacies from Liangxi.
Together, it is another sumptuous dinner.
Because he was going to work tomorrow, Lin Lu had to go back to school at 8:30 for a class meeting, delivered things, and had dinner together. Lin Lu and Li Xingruo picked up the little fat cat and prepared to go back.
Before leaving, Zou Wanrou stuffed Li Xingruo with many things she brought back from her hometown. After this trip, there was no shortage of things in the car.
At 7:30 in the evening, Lin Lu, Li Xingruo and the little fat cat finally returned home.
After feeding some food to the little goldfish that had been hungry for two days, the siblings and the cat lay lazily on the sofa. They looked at the luggage and souvenirs they had brought back to fill the living room, and they didn't want to move for a while.
People are always like this. After staying at home for a long time, they will feel bored. But when they come back after a long trip, they will feel so comfortable staying at home. Lying on the sofa, all the muscles in the body are sore and numb.
Yes, there is no trace of pressure or urgency, and my mood will lift after I completely relax.
Lin Lu was the first to move. He reluctantly sat upright from the sofa, held the soft and meowing sister next door in his arms, closed his eyes and kissed her for three minutes.
Li Xingruo became softer, but Lin Lu became stronger, and then she pushed him away in shame.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Lu left the sofa, got up and came over to pack the things he had brought back, putting the things in the kitchen in the kitchen and the refrigerator in the refrigerator.
"Just wait until I clean up later. Don't you have a class meeting at half past eight? Why don't you go back to school quickly? As a class monitor, it's embarrassing to be late."
"It's okay, just tidy up a little bit."
Seeing that he was sorting it out, Li Xingruo let him go, took his backpack, and went to his room to help him put all the things he wanted to take to school into his backpack, such as pants, socks, etc.
He was given medicine to prevent heatstroke, gastrointestinal medicine, cold medicine, etc., and he was also given a pack of tangerine peel, which he could soak in water to drink. He will be wearing camouflage uniforms for the next half month. There are also some clothes in the dormitory, but there are other things.
There's nothing left to bring.
"Would you like a large band-aid?" Li Xingruo asked him with a teasing smile.
"What a big band-aid... I'm just kidding! Whoever puts this thing in his shoe will be laughed to death." Lin Lu understood and looked embarrassed.
“The essence of a band-aid is to be prepared!”
"I do not want……"
"Well, let's go to school quickly." Li Xingruo handed him the packed backpack.
"Then I'm leaving. If Sister Xingruo misses me, remember to sneak into the school to see me." Lin Lu took the backpack and smiled at her.
"You're overthinking it! See for yourself if there's anything else you've missed."
"What? My sister Xingruo packed the backpack for me. Is there anything missing?"
Lin Lu slung his backpack behind him, hugged her and kissed her again before leaving, and finally rubbed the little fat cat's big head.
"Then I'm leaving."
"By the way, you can bring all these snacks to your roommates, we can't finish them all."
"good."
"Go to school and send a message!"
"I know, if Sister Xingruo can't sleep tonight, remember to sleep in my room."
"...Get out of here."
"Then I'll get out."
Lin Lu walked to the door, slipped in through the crack in the door, kissed her on her smooth forehead, then waved and closed the door.
When he was not at home, Li Xingruo immediately felt that his home was quite empty. They had been together almost every minute these days. As soon as Lin Lu walked away, the little girl suddenly felt unaccustomed to it.
She ran to the balcony, lowered her head and looked down. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, night had fallen, and it was the height of the twenty-third floor, so she couldn't see him clearly.
After squinting for a while, I had to give up and go back to the house to continue packing my things.
When she had something to do, her chaotic emotions would weaken a lot. After collecting all the things she had brought back, she briefly cleaned the house, then took out her computer and went to his room to code.
WeChat was connected to the computer. At 8:20, WeChat in the lower right corner started to vibrate, and Lin Lu sent a message that he had arrived in the classroom to prepare for the class meeting.
Maybe this is the feeling of missing you. Fortunately, in the book she recently wrote, the plot happens to be about the male and female protagonists being temporarily separated due to work. The mood at this moment is combined with the plot in the book. Don't tell me, this damn parting.
Melancholy actually came in handy.
This is how writing a book is, when the author's mood matches the content of the book, the emotion will be revealed when writing. Otherwise, if she is in a melancholy mood now but wants to write about the sweetness in the book, Kawen will definitely go crazy.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Li Xingruo completed today's coding task, closed the computer and went back to his room to get a change of clothes and take a shower.
The suitcase hadn't been packed yet, so she opened it and took out her own clothes one by one. There were also Lin Lu's clothes inside, which she also took out and folded one by one.
When she opened the small bag placed aside, Li Xingruo was stunned and saw something in the small bag that did not belong to her.
What, this is...
She curiously took out the contents of the small bag and looked at it. The packaging was silver, a bit like the packaging of wet wipes. Right above it was the leaf-green letter logo, with the word "transparent" in the middle.
There are a few small words "Ultra-thin texture", and at the bottom are two bold words "Okamoto", and a line of small words.
The little girl looked confused and muttered in a low voice: "Natural rubber avoid... avoid...??!!"
When she saw the last three words, her pretty face suddenly turned red, as if she was holding something hot potato, and she threw the things in her hand aside in a hurry.
What the hell! What the hell! Who put it in!!
Fortunately, there was no one else at home. Li Xingruo's little heart was beating wildly. As a girl who had been single for 22 years, she had heard this thing many times, but this was the first time in her life that she saw it.
The shock was overwhelming.
The shy and annoyed little girl hurriedly picked up her phone, intending to send a message to Lin Lu to ask if he had put it there.
But before she finished typing the words in the input box, she pressed the delete key again to delete all the words in the box.
It wasn't Lin Lu who put it there. Thinking about it, you know that even if he had the guts to buy it, he wouldn't have the guts to put it in her bag in a big way.
He should have secretly hidden it and waited for a certain moment. She said, "You can't do it without preparation." Then he took it out like magic and said, "Don't worry, I've already prepared it." That's how it works.
.
So if it wasn't Shou Linlu who released it, who else would have released it?
Li Xingruo blushed and thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that her mother had stuffed something into her bag before leaving. When she asked what it was, her mother said with a strange face that it was an amulet...
By the way, the amulet!
Li Xingruo hurriedly rummaged through her bag again, but no matter how much she turned it over, she couldn't find any amulet!
Shouldn't this be it?!
The little girl's little face suddenly turned into a little tomato with embarrassment, and she lay on the bed with a whimper, as if she had no place to hide, twisting and turning like a little maggot.
My dear mother! What have you been thinking about all day long! Where were he and I? Is it really okay to stuff this thing into a reserved daughter? How can it be used...!
Recalling the day when she was talking to Lin Lu about whether her parents would suspect that they were having an affair, she swore that she would never do it, but she didn't expect to turn around and stab her mother in the back.
Li Xingruo is no longer the little girl who needed her mother to teach her how to use a band-aid. She has also realized her mother's good intentions. Maybe this is the implicitness of Chinese parents. Since her mother pretends not to know, then she will naturally
It’s tacitly understood...
"Meow wow?"
The little fat cat jumped on the bed and sniffed the box of chewing gum curiously.
In short, God knows this, and Mom knows that Xiaoman knows that she knows, and Lin Lu must not know about it! Otherwise, he will definitely become more presumptuous!
Li Xingruo blushed and took the box of chewing gum over. Her embarrassment gradually dissipated, and she looked at it with interest again. She opened the box and took out ten things like instant noodle seasoning packets, which were made of smooth plastic.
It's wrapped in a bag, and you can feel the bulging circles inside.
She tore one open and took a look at it curiously. The chewing gum was different from what she imagined. It felt greasy and had a faint fragrance.
The little girl was frightened and ashamed, her mind was full of strange things, and she studied how to use it, then she pinched the circle and put it on her finger.
She moved her fingers and looked at it blankly, then blushed and hurriedly took it off again, wrapped it in a tissue and threw it into the trash can.
What the hell! What the hell!
The phone vibrated, which startled her. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Lin Lu.
"Sister Xingruo, have you finished typing? I've gone back to the dormitory and took a shower and lay down. Do you want a video?"
"don't want."
"Are you taking a shower?"
"Um."
"[Video call request]"
"[Request to hang up the video call]"
"What are you doing? Let me ask you, have you opened my bag?"
"No, what's wrong? Did you lose something?"
"Not lost, just a few more candies."
"Sister Xingruo, just let it go yourself."
It seemed that he did not put it there. Li Xingruo also disposed of the outer packaging box, took the remaining nine pieces of chewing gum and thought about where to hide it, and finally hid it in a coat in the closet that he did not often wear.
As if he was a thief, Li Xingruo hurriedly took a change of clothes and a towel and went to the bathroom of Lin Lu's room to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I lay on his bed with my quilt in my arms. Even so, I still had an embarrassing insomnia tonight...
Gains and losses.
She feels that she has grown a lot, at least she knows how to use it in the future...
