Chapter 371: Chapter 169: A Love of Unknown Origin, yet Deep and Abiding

His cake and eat it too?

Su Ran wanted it all.

When the two women saw Su Ran push the door open, they froze. They had just lifted the bottom edge of their lace bras when they stopped and turned to look at him.

"What are you gaping at? Go bring in the hot water. We need to bathe."

"Right away."

"..."

Soon, Su Ran brought in the hot water and poured it into the bucket, mixing in some cold water. He dipped his hand in and felt it scald him slightly. ’Mmm, this temperature is about right.’ He now had a new appreciation for the water temperature girls preferred for bathing. If it was just right for a guy, it would be too cold for a girl. The water had to feel scalding to the touch for it to be perfect. ’I guess I’ll just assume girls are thick-skinned,’ he thought.

"The water’s ready."

Su Ran stood obediently by the edge of the kang bed, watching the two women on it. They had taken off their jackets, leaving them in just their tight T-shirts and snug jeans. As they knelt on the bed, rummaging for their personal items, their behinds formed perfectly round, peach-like shapes.

"Su Ran, have you seen my charging block? I remember I put it in my bag..." Xiao Wanqing said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Her gaze followed Su Ran’s and landed on her own tight, hip-hugging jeans. She bit her lip. "Come up here and help me find it."

"Okay." Su Ran took a deep breath. ’It’s only been a little while, but they’ve gotten even more charming and sexy.’ They looked particularly bewitching in the deep of the night. He slipped off his slippers, sat on the kang bed, and started rummaging through the suitcases with Liu Jinyu to help Xiao Wanqing find her charging block.

"Is this it...?"

"No!"

Liu Jinyu reacted instantly, clamping her hand over a small box in the suitcase, her face bright red. Sensing something was amiss, Su Ran forcefully pried her little hands away and saw an unopened box of Durex.

"Yours?"

Su Ran whispered.

"No..." Liu Jinyu’s face was completely crimson. "They’re for you."

"For me? I don’t use these."

"You have to. I’ve been dreaming that I’m pregnant lately, and I’m scared it might actually happen. So, I went and bought a box. I don’t want to have a baby."

"Really?"

"Mhm."

’Her younger man might be clueless and only want to have fun, but as the older sister, she couldn’t afford to be, right? After all, if there was an accident, she’d be the one to bear the consequences. So, just in case, Liu Jinyu had specially bought a box to have on hand.’

"It’s just..." Su Ran leaned in for a closer look. "The new ribbed, Large Particles model? You’re that wild, Sister Jinyu?"

"Huh? What?" Liu Jinyu looked bewildered. She also leaned in to see, and sure enough, it was. She gasped. "When I was at the supermarket, I just grabbed the large size and put it in my cart. I didn’t notice what kind it was. What is this?"

"This one is for..." Su Ran muttered an explanation into Liu Jinyu’s ear. As she listened, her ears turned completely red, and she clutched the blanket, so embarrassed she wished she could crawl into a hole. "I’ll throw it out, then."

"Forget it. We already bought it, so we can’t let it go to waste."

Liu Jinyu tilted her head and looked at Su Ran’s composed expression. ’Boys have such double standards,’ she thought. ’Now he’s looking forward to trying this new kind.’ Liu Jinyu simply hummed in acknowledgement. She didn’t throw the box in the trash. Instead, she tucked it away in her bag. ’I’ll have to find a time to test it out,’ she mused, ’and see if it’s as intense as he says...’

As a couple, everything that could happen between them already had, so there was little room for shyness in private. Besides, once a girl experiences certain things, she can get hooked. If some time passed without *that*, she would really want her man to come to Shanghai and ’play’ with her.

...

After searching for a while longer, Su Ran finally found Xiao Wanqing’s charging block. "You two need to be more organized. If you just throw your things around, you’ll never find them when you need them," he said. "Now go take your bath, or the water will get cold."

"Alright, then. Plug it in for me."

The two women climbed off the kang bed, grabbed their pajamas, and went into the cave dwelling’s bathroom to bathe. As Su Ran was plugging Xiao Wanqing’s phone in, a call from an unknown number came through.

"Sister Wanqing, you’re getting a call from an unknown number."

"Can you get it for me?"

"Okay."

Su Ran answered the phone. "Hello."

"Who are you?" The voice on the other end belonged to a young man. He seemed stunned to hear a male voice on Xiao Wanqing’s phone. After confirming he hadn’t dialed the wrong number, he asked again, "Where’s Xiao Wanqing?"

Su Ran said, "She’s bathing right now. Is there anything I can help you with? I can pass a message on to her when she gets out."

The man asked, "Bathing?"

Su Ran replied, "That’s right."

The guy on the other end abruptly hung up. ’???’ Su Ran thought.

’Su Ran didn’t dwell on it. From the guy’s tone, he was clearly angry—desperately so. It was probably a call from some guy who had a crush on Xiao Wanqing. Su Ran didn’t feel an ounce of pressure; in fact, he didn’t mind at all. Xiao Wanqing was gorgeous, so it was only natural for plenty of guys to be chasing after her. It just proved he had great taste and had beaten a lot of competition to be with her. That was something to be proud of. It’s not like a beautiful woman would have no admirers, right?’

RING RING RING.

Liu Jinyu’s phone also rang.

"Sister Jinyu, you’ve got a call from an unknown number."

"Get it for me, please. Love you."

"Okay."

Su Ran answered the call. "Hello?"

"You again?" It was the same guy from before. He sounded completely floored. "Where’s Liu Jinyu?"

Su Ran said, "Liu Jinyu is bathing, too. How about this? When both of them are done and get out, I’ll have them return your call..."

He hadn’t even finished his sentence before the person on the other end furiously hung up.

Just think about it: two beautiful ’goddesses’ were both in the bath, while some guy was answering their phones late in the dead of night. Did anyone really need to guess what one man and two women were doing together?

After a while, the two women finished their bath. Wearing spaghetti-strap nightgowns, they emerged from the bathroom, toweling their dripping hair.

"So, who called just now?"

"I don’t know. It was the same person for both calls. I told him you were both bathing and that he should call back later if it was important, but he just hung up."
