Jiang Shuyin felt that the official seemed to know something from his words.
Shangguan: When will the rain stop tonight?
Official: Rain is formed by atmospheric circulation disturbances. If it rained recently, it won't last long.
Shangguan: I can't sleep, can you send me a voice message to say goodnight?
It took them a long time to reply.
Official: My voice is broken, I'm sorry.
Jiang Shuyin threw her phone aside. If she didn't want people to know, there was no need to tell such a hypocritical lie.
"Ding-dong"
Without a doubt, it's another money transfer.
Jiang Shu took a deep breath, picked up the portable mirror from the coffee table, and leaned against the sofa to look at herself.
Her almond-shaped eyes, wide open in the mirror, held a hint of resentment. Her arched eyebrows, though raised, still lacked any aggression. Her tightly pursed lips revealed a charmingly naive quality. She had given up.
She's been getting paid without working and now she's throwing a tantrum. She wouldn't have dared to act like this towards her boss when she was employed.
After adjusting her mindset, she picked up her phone again.
Official: I'm sorry, I didn't tell you beforehand.
[Please check your account after the transfer]
This time it's 200,000.
Shangguan: Is there anything else I don't know about you?
Official: Can I tell you little by little?
Shangguan: Are you disabled? Can you move around?
Official: Yes, it is active.
Jiang Shuyin stared blankly at her phone. A disabled man with a fortune? This was like a scene from a fantasy novel coming to life.
[Host, your testicles need companionship, at least one hour each day. Please comply.]
Jiang Shu sat up, looked at her mother who was leaning on the windowsill, and hugged her from behind: "Let's watch TV, Dad will be back soon."
Zheng Lanxiang put on a smile and turned her head: "I know, we're an old married couple, who's worried about him? I'm just worried that he'll have to wade through water again when he goes out to buy groceries tomorrow."
She sat down on the sofa and picked up the remote to change the channel to the news.
Jiang Shuyin quietly returned to her room, unaware that the volume of the TV in the living room had been turned down.
Inside the room, the egg still lay quietly in the same spot it had been in that morning, its patterns seemingly glowing with light flowing through the lines, as if it were alive.
"System, how can I accompany Egg?"
Body temperature helps maintain the egg's viability, ensuring it can be fertilized and hatch quickly once a suitable incubator is found.
Jiang Shu looked slightly embarrassed: "You choose who will incubate the eggs? Is he the egg's father or my other half?"
[Selected by Egg Egg, our relationship with you is purely that of a parenting partner, unrelated to any physical or emotional needs.]
Parenting partner, as Jiang Shuyin put it, is truly a wonderful term.
She quietly lay down on the bed and carefully placed the egg in her arms. At first, it felt a little cold, but the eggshell conducted heat very quickly and soon reached the same temperature as her body.
"Little darling, I'm going to read a novel for a bit. Be a good girl and don't move." Jiang Shuyin looked down at the egg nestled against the soft flesh of her belly, it must be sleeping soundly: "What a strange baby."
Jiang Shuyin, who had opened her phone to continue reading, was about to lie down when the rain outside the window stopped. She glanced at the notification bar and realized it was already 9:30.
Jiang Jianli just happened to be getting off work at this time, what a coincidence.
She got up, held the egg in her palm, went out to get some water, and also went to see her mother.
The worry on Zheng Lanxiang's face had disappeared, and she looked at her with a smile: "Why did you come out? Don't drink cold water from the refrigerator, shouldn't your period be starting soon?"
Jiang Shuyin's calm expression gradually stiffened. Her period was very regular; she had come every night without fail.
Then... wouldn't the egg be... her egg cell?
Does that mean she doesn't need to have her period anymore?
We're liberated?
Good heavens! Jiang Shuyin opened the refrigerator and drank three glasses of ice water before she could calm down.
"What's wrong with you now?" Zheng Lanxiang came over and put the ice water back in the refrigerator: "Don't call me if you catch a cold and get a stomachache."
Just as the mother and daughter were about to engage in a silent contest, the sound of a car horn downstairs broke the atmosphere. Zheng Lanxiang ran to the window in her shoes and looked down, the smile on her lips revealing her thoughts.
"Your dad's back, I'm going to cut an apple."
Jiang Shuyin pouted and went to her room, leaning against the bed, she felt uneasy.
I opened the chat window and read through my chat history with Guan again. After pursing my lips and hesitating for a long time, I finally opened the next-day delivery grocery delivery app.
Regardless of whether the vegetables are spoiled or not, all the lettuce, mushrooms, edamame, bok choy, sweet corn, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., which are limited to 5 per person, were bought up to the limit. There were also boxes of boiled water, tea drinks, coconut juice, cola, etc., which were also bought up to the limit.
Fruit spoils too easily, so she only bought eight pounds of lemons.
Then I went on a shopping spree in the snack category: mini sweet potato chips! Dried banana chips! Purple sweet potato and taro cakes! And all sorts of snack gift packs, both meat and vegetarian!
Considering some other factors, she flipped through the categories and realized she needed to buy toiletries. Soap was the most convenient to carry, so she ordered one hundred.
Buy five bottles of shampoo and stock up on fifty kilograms of laundry detergent.
She flipped through the pages again and found the paper products category. Yes, hygiene is very important. She called the manufacturer and ordered 500 kilograms of paper. The manufacturer said they could deliver it to her door.
After dealing with that, she also ordered five packs of baby hand and mouth wipes.
There were no further categories, and when she looked at the total amount in her shopping cart, it had already reached five figures. In order not to attract attention, she picked up her goods at five different self-pickup points.
There was a sudden knock on the door. "Xiao Yin, come out and we need to talk about something."
Jiang Shuyin pushed open the door and found her father still waiting for her: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Jianli led her towards the sofa. Zheng Lanxiang heard footsteps and saw the television. The family was about to have a heart-to-heart talk.
Jiang Jianli patted the space between them, gesturing for her to sit down:
"Xiao Yin, did you hear something? Is something going to happen? I heard from your mother that those are just temporary loans from friends, but Dad knows you're the kind of person who hates trouble. Let's be honest, whatever happens, we'll face it together as a family."
Jiang Shuyin lowered her head and carefully considered her words, trying to rationalize the matter: "It's just a friend of mine, we have a pretty good relationship."
His family has powerful connections; money is just numbers to them. Yesterday, they suddenly reminded me to stay home because it's dangerous outside, and that's when I started thinking about buying things.
Seeing her parents' thoughtful expressions, she quickly added, "I've considered all of this before buying it. If nothing happens, we can eat it ourselves or give it away."
After a brief silence in the room, Jiang Jianli was the first to speak: "Mom and Dad may not be able to accept it right away, but do whatever you want. It's just that the house is really running out of space."
Zheng Lanxiang nodded emphatically.
"Uh." Jiang Shuyin waved her phone: "I bought some more, I'm going to pick them up tomorrow."
Jiang Jianli and Zheng Lanxiang: "..."
"I'm not going to return it, I've already bought it." Jiang Shuyin hugged her phone tightly to her chest, and accidentally bumped her testicles with her elbow.
Jiang Shuyin was stunned for a moment. She pulled open her collar and saw that the egg was actually sticking to her belly against gravity.
Zheng Lanxiang slapped the hand off her collar: "Go to sleep quickly, I'll go with you to pick up the goods tomorrow."
Jiang Shu responded and quickly ran back to her room.
"I'm already 25, and my classmates are all having babies. I'm still so impulsive."
"Don't say anything more, Xiao Yin might not be able to get over that hurdle yet."
