Xiao Fei and Chen Jin share a bedroom, and they often bump into each other while changing clothes or accidentally exposing themselves. Every time, Chen Jin blushes shyly, making people want to hug her.
Xiao Fei was not a man of strong will, and Chen Jin half-heartedly went along with it, and the two ended up in bed together.
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao naturally noticed the changes in the two, but since they had already held an engagement ceremony, they didn't stop them anymore. They just told them to be careful and get their marriage certificate as soon as possible.
Chen Jin was naturally willing, after all, their relationship had progressed to this point, and having a certificate would better protect his interests.
But Xiao Fei was a little unwilling. He saw Zhang Chenjun every day at work and felt that she was his ideal partner.
However, Zhang Chenjun only flirted with Xiao Fei; they hugged and kissed, but couldn't take it any further.
Every time Xiao Fei tried to do something more, Zhang Chenjun would subtly divert his attention. Every time Xiao Fei tried to get a marriage certificate to confirm their relationship, Zhang Chenjun would shut him up with a passionate kiss.
So Xiao Fei tried to stall Chen Jin, making up different excuses every day, such as the heavy rain or that the marriage certificate was just a formality.
Although Chen Jin was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to argue too much with Xiao Fei, since breaking off relations would not do him any good.
Xiao Fei lived a carefree life, flirting with Zhang Chenjun at work during the day and shamelessly engaging in intimate acts with Chen Jin at home at night.
Chen Jin was exhausted from Xiao Fei's constant harassment and often needed to catch up on sleep during the day. However, Xiao Fei's aunt disapproved of Chen Jin's pampered and spoiled nature and would give her chores every time she entered the bedroom, keeping her busy all day long.
Chen Jin poured out her grievances to Xiao Fei, but after listening, Xiao Fei felt that his aunt hadn't done anything wrong. He could only comfort Chen Jin, saying that his aunt wouldn't be staying for more than a few days, and that they should be understanding of her and that things would be fine once she left.
Chen Jin had no choice but to endure the torment during the day and go to bed early in the evening after dinner.
Xiao Fei didn't care whether he would wake Chen Jin up when he wanted to, and Chen Jin could only get a good night's sleep when Xiao Fei wanted to rest.
Living a shameless life for too long will inevitably lead to pregnancy, not to mention that the two of them didn't have any protection.
After Chen Jin became pregnant, she naturally became the focus of the Xiao family's protection and was finally freed from the "heavy" housework.
However, Chen Jin also lost the right to use a mobile phone and could only watch TV occasionally each day.
Chen Jin didn't find it boring, since she slept most of the time. When she was awake, she would eat or chat, and that was it. Moreover, without Xiao Fei making a fuss, Chen Jin's sleep quality had obviously improved.
For example, today, Chen Jin went to bed very early.
At 11:30 p.m., the Xiao family prepared to go out.
"Mom, I'll go call Ajin." Xiao Fei said, heading towards the bedroom door.
"She's asleep, why did you wake her up?" Xiao's mother said, swatting Xiao Fei's hand away.
"Didn't they say there would be an energy rain? Ah Jin should get wet too. Are we all going to go and leave Ah Jin behind?"
"Xiaofei, you can't say that. How much of the information on the internet can you believe? What if there's no energy rain at all?"
Moreover, Chen Jin might catch a cold if she gets caught in the rain. She's pregnant and can't take any medicine. What if something happens to the baby? Aunt Xiao quickly chimed in.
"Is that so? Isn't it good for the child's health to get wet in the energy rain?" Xiao Fei scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
"Who knows? Let's leave it at that for today and go out to see what's going on."
So none of the Xiao family members called Chen Jin. The whole family went out in the rain and experienced the physical changes that came with it.
"Let's invite Ajin along tomorrow," Xiao Fei said to his mother.
Xiao's mother hesitated, "The rain before and after this energy rain is just ordinary rainwater, and it's still a bit chilly. What if Ajin gets sick..."
"What should we do then? Should we just ignore Chen Jin? We've all experienced the benefits of the energy rain today." Actually, Xiao Fei wanted to include Chen Jin mainly because of his son.
"Let's not talk about it yet. We can explain it to Ajin tomorrow if she asks. Besides, Ajin needs a lot of sleep these days, and she might not even be able to get up at night," said Mrs. Xiao after thinking for a moment.
----------
It was Thursday again, and Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan went to work yawning.
As soon as Bi Qiaoan sat down, she couldn't help but take out two books to put on her desk and try to catch up on sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep at all because the office was very noisy.
Yu Shui: "You guys have all been getting caught in the energy rain lately, haven't you? It's amazing! Every time I feel a surge of energy flowing into my body, it feels so good!"
Li Yueya: "Yes, I feel that my skin has improved. My family goes out in the rain every night, just to make sure that not a drop of it gets wet."
Wei Qin: "There are a lot of people in my family, and after getting caught in the rain, we still have to queue up to wash up."
Chen Qing: "Even if it's crowded, we're willing to do it. Just thinking about how we missed out on three months of energy rain makes my heart ache."
......
After listening to everyone's discussion for a while, Bi Qiaoan couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any stored water?"
"No, didn't they say the rainy season is still three months long? Let's wait until the end to store it. If we store water now, it'll just spoil." Yu Shui said matter-of-factly.
Bi Qiaoan shook her head. "Then what will you use to store the water?"
"The basins, bathtubs, fish tanks..."
Bi Qiaoan raised her hand and gave Yu Shui a flick on the forehead. "Don't you think about it? The little bit you save is only enough for a few days. Besides, during a drought, all the water will evaporate!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Shui's jaw nearly dropped to the floor. "Xiao An'an, what do you suggest we do?"
Bi Qiaoan rolled her eyes. "Just find a bottle with a lid. Have you ever seen a bottle of mineral water that's been drained completely?"
Wei Qin also laughed and said, "It's obvious that Yu Shui doesn't have much life experience. People like us who live frugally order a lot of 5L bottles of purified water for future use. I also prepared some plastic buckets to fill with tap water for daily use in the last month."
"Why not just buy bottled water? Isn't that easier to store?" Yu Shui asked Wei Qin curiously.
Wei Qin patted Yu Shui's head, "Do you think water is free? Besides, it's such a waste to use purified water for washing hands, face, and clothes!"
Bi Qiaoan said, "Aunt Wei, it will be too extravagant to use water for washing in the second half of the year. We might not even have enough water to drink then."
"Is it that serious?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "It's hard to say. Since the authorities say it's an extreme drought, there's a real possibility that we won't have any water to drink."
Ever since Wei Qin stockpiled a lot of rice that time, she has been a big believer in these things. "Okay, then I'll go back and order some more purified water."
“I’ll order some too. I was originally planning to wait until the last month to prepare, but after hearing what you said, I don’t dare to delay any longer,” Yu Shui nodded and said.
"Don't you think about it? Bottled water is easy to buy now, but in two months when everyone is buying bottled water, will you still be able to buy it? But then there will still be tap water, it's just that if it sits for a long time, the water might smell bad!"
