It was already past one o’clock in the morning, and the morning stars hung in the sky, shining brightly.
Brother Bear climbed into the front of the truck and took a look inside. He saw Xu Shen and Shu Ran lying on top of each other, sleeping in such a mess that he couldn’t tell which leg belonged to whom… There was nothing wrong with sleeping close to your brothers, and Wang Gouxiong couldn’t in a million years guess that Xu Shen had never slept so affectionately close to his other brothers…
“Brother Shen…” He whispered and patted Xu Shen awake.
Xu Shen was very sober, so he opened his eyes immediately. His first reaction was to look at his arms, seeing that Shu Ran was still sleeping well. He raised his hand and wiped his wife’s sweaty forehead… Shu Ran would definitely wake up if he got up, but there was no other way. It was his turn to keep vigil.
“It’s so hot…” Shu Ran also woke up, feeling wet all over.
“Let’s go down and enjoy the air, you can sleep on the mat.” Xu Shen got up and climbed out of the car first, reaching out to pick up Shu Ran. He couldn’t let Shu Ran share such a small space with another man… His jealous heart wouldn’t be able to take it!
Shu Ran got out of the car in a daze and laid down on the mat outside, feeling much more comfortable almost instantly. Lying flat under the breeze was a hundred times more comfortable than squeezing inside the truck… But what he didn’t know was that the reason he slept so comfortably was because Xu Shen took a willow branch and drove away all the mosquitoes and flying insects around him. Otherwise, he would have long been covered in bites.
After sleeping until dawn, Shu Ran got up, and even though he was still very sleepy, he kicked Xu Shen: “Lie down and sleep.”
Afraid that he would fall asleep if he laid down, Xu Shen kept his back straight all night, stuck against the tire. Hearing this, he glanced at the white sky and said: “We’re about to leave. I won’t be able to sleep for long, anyway.”
“Sleep for as long as you can.” Shu Ran yawned and sat up, rubbing his sore eyes.
“I can still drive for the first shift.” Xu Shen looked at Shu Ran and smiled.
“Hey!” Shu Ran also looked at him. “Can you stop talking nonsense?!”
Just shut up and be more careful, okay?!
The thing that Xu Shen feared the most was his wife’s sullen face while he had to take care of him… And so he coughed helplessly and laid down obediently. Even the willow branch in his hand was taken away by the other party, who didn’t forget to also slap him twice.
“I will listen to you no matter what you do, you don’t have to hit me!” Xu Shen was beaten, but still had enough energy to laugh.
…………
At five o’clock in the afternoon, seven or eight of their large trucks finally arrived at the cooperative factory, waiting to load up the goods.
Xu Shen and Shu Ran didn’t plan on staying, so they handed the car to the other brothers, telling them to not wait for them and go back to rest after loading everything.
Anyway, with Li Jie there, there was no need to worry.
Shu Ran took his first step on the land of the future first-tier big city… But looking around, it was still very desolate and not as prosperous as he imagined. He could only hope and estimate that things would get better once they got to the city center.
“Brother Shen, where are we going now?” Shu Ran was carrying a denim backpack containing daily necessities, as well as his notebook and pen.
He felt like a wage earner who went south looking for work… Or at least that was what others probably thought when they saw him.
“Let’s go to the guest house first.” Xu Shen carried heavy objects and money with him, taking Shu Ran to squeeze into a crowded bus. There were so many people, and he held on to Shu Ran’s arm without hesitation, for fear that others would trample on his wife.
Seeing that there was an empty seat, Xu Shen pushed Shu Ran over and sat down. The madam who was one step too late stared at them, murmuring in dialect…
Anyway, he didn’t understand. Xu Shen stood beside his wife, looking calm and composed, while Shu Ran’s face was feverish. He had never done this kind of thing since his childhood… He really wanted to stand up and give up his seat, but Xu Shen felt sorry for him, even fighting a woman for the seat… So yeah, he couldn’t let it go!
After such a comparison, it became evident that Xu Shen was indeed an old man in the world, well-versed in the principle of being thick-skinned and taking advantage of everyone!
Xu Shen soon realized that his wife was embarrassed and smiled. It was fine, he would become more familiar with following his lead in the future.
Guest house, registration office.
Shu Ran looked at the white dial phone on the counter, and his eyes caught Xu Shen’s attention. He patiently explained to him: “That is a phone.”
Shu Ran thought: “I know that’s a phone…”
He was just interested in seeing that kind of antique that has long retired from the stage of history!
After registration, the staff led them to their room. The guest house was very nice, the corridor was spacious and clean, and the room was bright and tidy… And it was probably also not cheap!
“Why rent such a nice room?!” Shu Ran put down his backpack and saw that in a room of about 20 square meters, there was a bed against the wall and a set of tables and chairs next to it, with sofa cushions and lace chair covers. There were even two hot water bottles on the table…
“Hmm?” Xu Shen immediately poured two glasses of water, but it was still boiling hot, so they needed to let it cool down before drinking: “This is just an ordinary room.”
“Are you kidding me?!” Shu Ran rolled his eyes at Xu Shen, thinking he was bullying him for not seeing enough of the world.
“There’s no need to save money, let’s have a good rest…” Xu Shen was exposed, so he smiled flatteringly.
He had been very tired those past two days, but he was used to it. As for Shu Ran, he couldn’t let his wife suffer the same!
“Oh…” Shu Ran was afraid that he would increase Xu Shen’s spending, but forget it! He would be able to earn it back in the future anyway. The only thought left was pure happiness… Happiness that there was even a separate bathroom for bathing!
“Have you stayed here before?” Shu Ran noticed that Xu Shen seemed to be very familiar with the road.
“Once or twice.” Xu Shen answered.
He has traveled to the coast many times in the past two years but didn’t stay in the guest house every time. Most often, he just slept in the truck or hung out in the factory for a night, since he was never too particular about it.
After drinking some water, Shu Ran couldn’t wait to say: “Brother Shen, let me go and wash up first!”
After spending the past two days in the truck, he felt sticky and uncomfortable all over. He thought Xu Shen should be the same, so he found some clothes and turned around to ask: “Do you want to come with me?”
The bathroom in this luxurious suite was quite spacious and should be more than enough to accommodate two people.
Xu Shen was drinking water, almost choking when he heard that. He probably never thought that his wife would invite him to take a bath together… “Huh?”
“Huh?” Shu Ran also pretended to be clueless.
“What did you just say?” Xu Shen’s smile looked a little bit lacking.
“I didn’t say anything.” Shu Ran didn’t feel like entertaining him.
“You said it…” Xu Shen heard clearly when Shu Ran invited him to take a bath together. “Okay, you go in first, I’ll come right away.”
“Oh.” As the person who proposed it, Shu Ran felt his face heat up for the first time, thinking… Xu Shen might have misunderstood, right?!
He wanted to wash together just to make Xu Shen relax as soon as possible… He had no other meaning at all! After two days of driving, even a ghost’s body would be full of aches and pains… So Shu Ran felt like adding a special sentence: “Just taking a shower.”
“Ah?” Xu Shen looked up at him, blinked, and said: “Yes, what else?”
Shu Ran knew that this man was pretending to be innocent again, so he said it was nothing and went in with his clothes. Xu Shen smiled. In fact, he had long fantasized about taking a bath together with Shu Ran, but he never had the chance to fulfill his wish.
He always felt that…It should be a special treatment that only comes when the relationship reaches a certain level.
But if Shu Ran was happy, he would be happy too!
They said it was just a simple shower, and when washing separately, the two of them were usually very efficient… But since they were now crowded together, the amount of time needed immediately skyrocketed!
A man’s mouth was really full of lies!
By the time they were satisfied with all that washing, it was completely dark outside.
Since the guest house did not provide food, they had to go out and find it for themselves. Shu Ran followed Xu Shen slowly. He had just taken a shower, so his eyebrows were lazy and he was dressed casually, but he still had a high rate of turning heads.
This made him feel very curious since… He still thought that he was only worthy of being a green leaf next to Xu Shen.
Compared to Shu Ran’s generosity, Xu Shen was very unhappy with others checking out his wife. Unfortunately, there was no takeaway service at that time, so they could only find a restaurant to dine in.
What should they eat tonight… How about clay pot rice?
Shu Ran was shocked and immediately thought about a little Internet joke about clay pot rice, laughing softly. Xu Shen asked him why he was laughing, so he leaned over and also told Xu Shen that silly joke, making him laugh until speechless.
“But people from there like to eat a lot of strange things…” Shu Ran continued. “For example, noodles that look like earthworms.” It was such a pity that he didn’t have a mobile phone… Otherwise, he could show Xu Shen the photos and thoroughly disgust him!
“How do you know?” Xu Shen looked at his wife, always wondering why Shu Ran was so knowledgeable.
“Read it in a book.” Shu Ran said.
Anyway, no one would be able to ever guess his secret. No matter if people didn’t believe him or thought he was strange, they still couldn’t call the police and arrest him because of this!
As for Xu Shen, since they would probably have a deeper relationship in the future… He might be able to say it. But Shu Ran was still not sure, preferring to take it one step at a time.
“Oh.” Xu Shen didn’t ask any more questions since it was not important.
The two of them ordered two flavors of clay pot rice, with the intention to share. If they wanted to eat something from the other person’s bowl, they could just reach out their spoon and take a bite. Of course, they still had to avoid other people’s eyes.
Fortunately, it was quite late and there were not many people in the cafeteria, and the only ones who were looking at them from time to time was a table full of young girls. Shu Ran caught their gaze several times, so he turned around and whispered to Xu Shen: “It’s all your fault. You look so beautiful that others can’t even feel comfortable in the same room!”
Xu Shen also glanced at them and whispered: “Maybe they are looking at you.” Why was he making people uncomfortable?! He was obviously a man who cared about his family and loved his wife very much!
With that possibility, Shu Ran couldn’t continue to accuse Comrade Xu Shen… He stuffed the rice into his mouth and said: “Eat quickly, I’m so sleepy!”
“Are you talking about yourself?” Xu Shen was almost done with his food.
Shu Ran compared the amount left in the two small casseroles, coughing awkwardly.
“…”
Knowing that his food intake was limited, Xu Shen lovingly helped him share some of his rice. Back at the guest house, the two of them stripped themselves off neatly and fell asleep, sleeping all the way until noon. After Shu Ran woke up, he kicked Xu Shen off his body and took out the watch under the pillow: “Are you going to get up and do some work today? It’s eleven o’clock.”
“Yes.” Xu Shen was also awake, coming to Shu Ran for a hug. On such a hot day, the first thing he did after getting out of bed was to pour some water for his wife.
“Where are you going?” Shu Ran leaned over and took a few sips from Xu Shen’s hand.
“Let’s visit the garment factory we worked with before.” After Xu Shen finished drinking what his wife had left in the glass, he noticed Shu Ran looking at him, so he raised his eyebrows: “I’ve kissed you on the mouth so many times. What’s the problem?”
Shu Ran thought for a moment… “It makes sense.”
Xu Shen smiled and the two of them got up, packed what they needed for the day, and went out in high spirits. Shu Ran soon realized that they didn’t bring any luggage with them, so he asked: “We’re not checking out?”
“Not yet.” Xu Shen said. “It’s comfortable to live here, we’ll come back at night.” The environment in other places was not good, and he never intended to take Shu Ran to see them… The city was full of communal dormitories and mixed hostels where no one could live.
The city’s streets were full of bicycles, and the sound of bells kept ringing in their ears. The two had a simple meal on the roadside, and Xu Shen found a three-wheeled motorcycle that was carrying passengers, negotiating a good price with the driver.
The guest house was not far from the factory, and it only took 20 minutes to get there. That entire area was full of factories, deeply hidden in the village, but the one Xu Shen worked with was quite easy to find.
When they arrived, the workers were having lunch, squatting in the public area with bowls in their hands and chatting idly while eating. Many of them were young girls, so Shu Ran and Xu Shen received very obvious attention. Both of them were used to this type of atmosphere and went directly to the management office to look for the people in charge.
As soon as the factory’s administrator saw Xu Shen, he enthusiastically offered him a cigarette: “Boss Xu, long time no see!”
As the boss who brought them so much money, the other party welcomed him very much: “You came all the way here. Do you have another order?”
Xu Shen smiled and accepted the cigarette, without answering the question directly.
“This is a buyer from a large company.” Xu Shen pointed at Shu Ran and introduced him to the person in charge. “He wants to visit your factory. Is that okay?”
There was no water in that statement at all… Since when was Shu Ran representing a large company?! More like the representative of a company that was still in the planning stage, and not officially launched yet… But when the factory’s administrator heard this, he immediately said cheerfully: “Okay, okay, let’s go! I’ll take you to have a look.”
Weren’t buyers from large companies the real Gods of Wealth responsible for issuing orders? Then he must be well entertained!
The two of them followed behind, and Shu Ran quietly gave Xu Shen a thumbs up. This guy was really good at deceiving people, but after thinking about it, he was quite right… And that was the scariest part.
Xu Shen smiled, thinking that this was in fact a normal operation, it was just Shu Ran who wasn’t used to it yet… Give it two more years and he too would become an expert.
Next, Shu Ran and Xu Shen visited the garment factory in an open manner. Shu Ran watched everything carefully, from the assembly line to the process of the masters making the prototypes, and even going up to chat with them one by one.
In the eyes of the person in charge, his attitude meant that he was serious and responsible, worthy of being a buyer for a large company!
After chatting with the masters working at each station, Shu Ran already had an idea of what running a factory was like… In fact, it was not as complicated as he imagined. Some people in later generations liked to comment that this era was a time in which even pigs could fly… Even though the metaphor was a bit crude, it was essentially correct.
Xu Shen asked the administrator about the machinery and equipment, and the other person explained everything to him in detail, making Xu Shen feel quite guilty.
Fortunately, they were not competitors. Even if they planned to set up a small factory in Nanshi, it would not affect the business here.
In the next few days, they mainly visited factories, learning and asking questions where they didn’t understand. Then it was time to go to the agricultural machinery factory to look for equipment, and also enquire about the wholesale prices.
Even though it was a first-hand market, the prices were still much cheaper than in Nanshi.
Shu Ran was surrounded by so many agricultural machines, making him sigh with emotion: “In fact, industrial farming is also not a bad idea… We could even raise livestock.”
Needless to say, in that era of endless prosperity, it was really possible to make money by doing anything, which made Shu Ran want to do anything he saw.
Xu Shen looked at his wife who was thinking about industrial farming, and asked seriously: “Do you want to build a factory or raze an entire mountain to the ground? Don’t tell me you’re already regretting it?”
“What?!” Shu Ran looked at him speechlessly. “I was just talking casually, just kidding…”
“Oh.” Xu Shen said. “Me too.”
Shu Ran laughed twice, knowing tacitly that he didn’t need to take that remark to heart. They were here to do what they were planning on doing. After seeing the machines, they didn’t rush to place an order, with Xu Shen even telling the boss that it was too expensive… If he spent that amount of money, his wife might pluck his ears and demand him to return everything!
So he needed to go back and discuss it with his wife!
The boss looked at their departing backs, extremely sad to lose such a big customer.
“If I go out and work for two years…” Shu Ran shook his head and continued: “Would I also become like you, full of lies?”
“It’s called having tactics.” Xu Shen said.
“Yes, yes…” Shu Ran nodded perfunctorily. “But I have a merciless request.”
Xu Shen looked at him with a smile: “What kind of request?”
Shu Ran: “Next time you use your tactics, don’t pull my name in it. And if you must, please pay the appearance fee!”
“How much?” Xu Shen was amused and even took out the money directly.
“You can’t afford it.” Shu Ran glanced at the biggest unit in his hands, thinking that Xu Shen was indeed a fearless man.
“Understood.” Xu Shen gave him a two-cent green bill. “But I’m very generous.”
“Tsk…” Shu Ran looked down upon him, but he still took the money and stuffed it into his pocket. He wouldn’t feel like himself if he didn’t take advantage of that bastard…
And two cents could buy him a cup of fried melon seeds.
Work ended early, but it was already dark by the time they returned to the guest house. Shu Ran had his dinner, took out a notebook, and started writing something in the room. Xu Shen asked: “I’ll call Jiang Fan at the registration office. Do you want to come with me?”
He needed to call everyone and report the results of those days, and also to hear how they were progressing and whether they could take the next step.
Shu Ran: “You can just go.”
Xu Shen already knew all the information that he needed, but that wasn’t what Xu Shen was thinking about. He asked: “Aren’t you curious about the phone? Don’t you want to try it?”
Xu Shen clearly remembered the scene of his wife staring at the phone… And he always paid attention to anything the other party took a second look at. Telephones had just entered the lives of ordinary people not long ago, and it was no wonder that Xu Shen would ask him… But Shu Ran shook his head: “Brother Shen, I’m really not curious. You can just go.”
Xu Shen just wanted to give his wife some general knowledge about life, but he wasn’t interested, so he had to give up and go out by himself.
“Pfft…” Shu Ran felt that Xu Shen exuded a sense of depression over this failure to show him the phone, and he couldn’t help but laugh… It made him think… Why not just go with the flow next time?
Shu Ran had been away from his novel for several days and had already accumulated many fragments in his mind. Now he was swiping at the notebook, turning it page by page, without even needing to make corrections.
Over in Nanshi, Jiang Fan’s house.
Usually, Jiang Fan never took the initiative to answer any incoming calls, since they wouldn’t be calling for him anyway. But in the past few days, he had been paying attention in order to not miss Xu Shen’s call.
After finally receiving it tonight, he hurriedly lowered his voice and chatted furtively with Xu Shen.
“Did you find the factory site?” Xu Shen asked.
“Kaizi has found several alternatives and is waiting for you to come back and decide.” Jiang Fan said.
“How about applying for a certificate? Have you asked?”
“I asked…” Jiang Fan hesitated, scratched his face, and said: “Because I don’t want my eldest brother to know about setting up a factory, I can’t use his acquaintances. If we really want to do it, it might cost some money.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Xu Shen continued: “In the Huabei region, as soon as it can be done.”
“Yeah…” Jiang Fan asked: “Is everything going well with you there?”
“It’s good. The work is 50% completed.”
Jiang Fan counted on his fingers and realized that it had already been a week, but only 50% was completed… It seemed the task was arduous.
So he asked about Shu Ran: “It’s so hard to drive in a truck. Did your wife get used to it?” Just don’t let him get sick…
“He looks fine.” Xu Shen’s tone softened when he talked about his wife: “It’s just that we’ve been running around a lot these past few days.”
“His physique doesn’t look strong…” Jiang Fan smiled, then realized that he might have said something he shouldn’t have said… He panicked and said quickly: “Brother Shen, my sister-in-law is here, I’ll hang up first!”
That coward… Xu Shen thought about it… How could someone avoid suspicion like that?! After hanging up the phone, he still began to self-examine. Could it be that he was really so petty in his brother’s eyes?!
It seemed that the progress in Nanshi was going well. Xu Shen went back to discuss with Shu Ran, planning on going back to the agricultural machinery factory tomorrow and ordering the machines. They could use their own truck to transport them. But in addition to the machines, there was also fabric… Since it was cheaper to get goods from the coast, they could just transport everything back together.
“Yes, we still have to visit the fabric market… And the talent market… ah!”
Shu Ran leaned back in his chair and went crazy, rubbing his nerves that had been tense for many days. “Starting a business is so hard… Starting a business is so tiring… I am young, why should I start a business?!”
Xu Shen knew that he was tired, so it was okay to complain… But listening to Shu Ran still made him worry, so he blurted out: “I will go tomorrow, you stay and rest.”
“…What nonsense are you talking about?” Shu Ran immediately turned around and glared at Xu Shen. He just wanted to vent, and it was not like he really couldn’t walk anymore… “Let’s go together. Without your wife, can you even negotiate a good price?”
“Okay.” With all their psychological tactics in place, Xu Shen tidied up the messy bed and sat down. “If I go back there tomorrow, the boss will definitely sell for a good price.”
Shu Ran said: “Maybe we can press a little harder.”
Xu Shen said: “We can’t suppress him further. If we do, the boss might kill someone.”
“Then I don’t care…” Shu Ran was too lazy to argue with him. “Let’s go together.” Seeing that he still didn’t say anything, Shu Ran added: “This city is full of charming flowers… Do you dare to leave me here alone?”
The entertainment industry along the coast was very developed, and the streets were full of little “hair salons” that happened to offer more services than that… Totally different from the “Fang Fang’s Barber Shop” they knew.
It was strange that a man like Xu Shen, whose mind was smaller than the tip of a needle, could confidently leave him behind to guard the base camp.
“You’re right, I’m indeed worried.” Xu Shen thought about it and admitted confidently: “I still have to rely on you to do things with peace of mind.”
… In this situation, saying the truth was worthless!
“I just complained casually, I’m not really tired.” Shu Ran ruffled his hair and continued writing at his desk.
Not long after, he felt a pair of hands rubbing his tight shoulder muscles… He knew without looking that it was Xu Shen standing behind him.
“Thank you, Chief Planner.” Xu Shen said.
“Yes, that’s quite useful.” Shu Ran paused for a moment, then continued writing, but the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
It was the sixth day of running around. Every single day, leaving early and coming back late, even a superhero from a fantasy book would be tired. If Shu Ran hadn’t insisted on going with him, Xu Shen really didn’t want to take him. It made him feel really distressed.
“Who did you learn this attitude from? You are like a little old man, doing things in such a strict manner.” Late in the evening, Xu Shen held his wife in his arms, very affectionate. Of course, he only dared to kiss, since he was not such a beast… Tomorrow Shu Ran would still be tormented by the pressure of life, so they could only lie down together and talk, hugging closely despite the hot weather.
Shu Ran pressed the man’s heaving heart: “Are you praising me or cursing me?!”
“Praising you…” Xu Shen sighed.
“Then please say something nicer!”
He knew that Xu Shen felt sorry for him, and he also regretted that he complained like a crazy person just now… It must have made Xu Shen feel uncomfortable in his heart.
“Didn’t I already say it?” Xu Shen was silent for a moment. “I don’t know how to say sweet words. I can only express it with practical actions.”
“Like giving me a two-cent bill?” Shu Ran responded quickly.
“…” Xu Shen smiled shyly.
Shu Ran pushed his forehead and smiled: “Just go to sleep, Boss Xu.”
“Yes.” Xu Shen kissed his wife and said: “You too, Boss Shu.”
Hearing Xu Shen call him Boss Shu, Shu Ran felt fuzzy in his heart. He always felt that… Xu Shen might have known something but was pretending to be stupid. After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to stop. No matter what he knew, if Xu Shen didn’t say anything, he would just pretend nothing happened!
The next day, Shu Ran accompanied Xu Shen back to the agricultural machinery factory and finally ordered all the machines they needed. After resting for a while, he and Xu Shen continued to run around the city like dogs.
In 1983, the cloth market alongside the coast was opened, and soon there would be a boom in garment factories all over the city. Small family workshops and factories sprung up like mushrooms after rain, laying the foundation for the future clothing kingdom1This, here, is the reason why I wanted to translate this novel! Is my first time reading about a transmigrator who opens up a clothing factory, instead of a hot pot restaurant and whatnot. You know, since China is renowned worldwide for its clothing manufacturing expertise, making clothes should have been a far more popular subject in this type of transmigration novel than it is. Also, as someone who has a degree in fashion design, I couldn’t be more familiar with this setting and I really enjoy reading about the experience of running a clothing manufacturing factory back in the 80’s. It’s really fascinating to me, and I hope you find it interesting as well!.
Shu Ran didn’t want to miss this opportunity, so he took the time to do it no matter how hard or tired he was. Especially since, when it came to fabrics, Xu Shen knew nothing about it. From now on, the rest was Shu Ran’s job, but it was not too difficult. There were in fact very few types of fabrics back then, definitely not as varied as the fabrics of later generations.
Mastering the few basic types, including cotton, linen, and muslin, was almost enough.
“Some are more expensive, but plain cotton is cheap.” Xu Shen compared the prices and said.
“Who among the young people today still wears plain cotton?!” Shu Ran complained. That type of old, plain, cotton that was very popular back in the 1970s, has now been completely eliminated by the market.
“Yes, and ready-made clothes are more expensive…” After calculating the cost-effectiveness, using fashionable fabrics for ready-made was in fact more cost-effective because they could sell it for a better price.
Xu Shen liked to ask about any good fabric as soon as he saw one… But after knowing the price, he remained silent. The price was always too high for mass production, only acceptable to buy small quantities and use it for themselves… So he asked Shu Ran: “Shall we buy some? Let’s make more clothes for you… Do you like it?”
“There’s no need to buy it, it’s not like I have nothing to wear right now…” Shu Ran continued to advise him: “There are still so many places where we have to spend money. Increase income and reduce expenditure… So don’t spend money indiscriminately.”
Xu Shen said nothing.
Shu Ran squeezed his hand while no one was looking and said: “Be obedient.”
He really didn’t lack any clothes and now was a special period. They just needed to suffer a little bit before having everything they’ll need in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Shen nodded and gave up on the piece of fabric that felt very comfortable to the touch and skin-friendly… Later, every time he thought about his intimate relationship with Shu Ran, he had mixed feelings and regretted not buying it very much!
