Chapter 108: Investment+
The power outage that hadn’t been restored left Miss Yuan raging helplessly. She went to find Manager Ma, but in the end, she only got the reason that the malfunction was still being investigated and the result that repairs were in full swing.
As for when the electricity could be restored, that still depended on how fast the electrician worked.
And at this hour, if they drove back to the city, it would be too exhausting. So, Miss Yuan simply gave up the idea of going back and dragged the Twin Stars of the Library, who wanted to return to the dorm to sleep, straight to an internet café nearby.
Sleep, my ass. All of you get hyped up. Even I don’t have a place to stay, and you two still want to go back and sleep?
With Miss Yuan holding the Imperial Armor in her hands, the two dared not resist at all. They even hoped that one day they could borrow it to wear and show off in school.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo, since he was at his cousin’s place, went to bed much earlier than usual. He had his own room, while his cousin and Liu Rushuang shared the master bedroom.
“Little brother, if you get scared tonight, send me a message. I can come and find you~” Liu Rushuang leaned against the master bedroom’s doorframe, blinked at Lin Mo, and spoke in a seductive tone.
Her delicate features, tall and sexy figure, oversized T-shirt, and exposed straight white thighs, combined with her charming expression at that moment, made her a peerless beauty.
Lin Mo had just come out of the bathroom when he saw this scene. He instantly felt the urge to slap her. Him, scared? Unless she was wearing a red wedding dress and red embroidered shoes, hanging herself at his bedroom door. Otherwise, even Ning Caichen wouldn’t have an issue with her.
He was about to give her a few words when, the next second, a hand suddenly reached out from behind Liu Rushuang, grabbed her T-shirt, and yanked her back into the bedroom. Then his cousin Su He poked her head out and said:
“Don’t mind her, she drank too much fake wine tonight. Alright, you should rest early too!”
With a heavy “bang,” the door slammed shut. This was followed by Liu Rushuang’s startled cry and two crisp “pa pa” slaps. Then all went silent.
Lin Mo shook his head, returned to his room, closed the door, and lay in bed scrolling through short videos to kill time.
Perhaps it was because he had suddenly changed sleeping places, or maybe because he was indeed a bit tired today, but before long, his eyelids began to fight.
He wanted to hold on, but as his phone slid out of his hand and went black, Lin Mo drifted off to sleep.
In a daze, he didn’t know how long had passed when he suddenly felt someone tugging at him. Slowly opening his eyes, he saw a figure right in front of him, so close it was almost touching.
In an instant, Lin Mo felt a chill surge up his spine, and all his sleepiness vanished.
“I—”
The national essence hadn’t even escaped his mouth when it was forcibly covered.
“It’s me, don’t shout!”
Liu Rushuang’s voice came. It carried a trace of weakness, as if she was enduring something.
Borrowing the faint whiteness of the sky outside, Lin Mo could just barely see the person’s face. It was indeed Empress Rushuang, no doubt. But at this moment, her complexion looked terrible, pale-faced, with sweat covering her forehead. The dampness clung to the strands of hair at her brow, giving her a fragile kind of beauty.
But no matter how beautiful, even like a celestial maiden, appearing in this way was still terrifying.
Especially since her pale face resembled the female ghost from the horror film commentary The Ghost Bride he had watched before bed.
Good thing he had gone to the bathroom before sleeping, completely emptying his bladder. Otherwise, he might have made a river right now.
Three minutes later, in the living room.
Lin Mo brewed some medicine and also brought over a cup of brown sugar water, handing it to Liu Rushuang, who was wrapped in a blanket on the sofa.
“Dear sister, even if you’re feeling unwell, that’s no reason to crawl onto my bed at dawn. You scared the hell out of me!” Lin Mo said helplessly.
He checked the time. It was only 4:40 in the morning. Even though he’d gotten used to early rising recently, he had never gotten up this early.
Hearing this, Liu Rushuang took the cup, sipped, and whispered: “I didn’t want to either. I sent you so many messages, but you didn’t reply. I called you, but you didn’t answer. I really couldn’t take it anymore, so I had to come find you. Luckily you don’t have the habit of locking your door, or I would’ve had to break it down.”
The reason was that Liu Rushuang had been awakened by pain in the second half of the night. At first, she tried to endure it, but it got worse and worse, until sweat broke out all over her body. She had no choice but to come for help.
But Lin Mo had already muted his phone before sleeping, so naturally, he heard nothing.
“You already had period cramps, and during your cycle, you still drank alcohol and ran barefoot on the floor. Now you’ve learned your lesson, huh? By the way, where’s my cousin?” Lin Mo gave her a look, not surprised in the least.
“She drank a lot last night and is sleeping like the dead. She has to go to work today too, so let her rest. Besides, even if we wake her up, what use would it be?” Liu Rushuang clutched her stomach, frowning.
Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn’t be bothered to say more. “Lie down, I’ll massage for you. Later you’ll drink the medicine. If it doesn’t work, we’ll go to the hospital.”
In her state of discomfort, Liu Rushuang was unusually obedient this time and lay quietly on the sofa.
Lin Mo rubbed his hands warm and placed them on her stomach.
“Wait a moment!” Liu Rushuang suddenly spoke.
Lin Mo: ???
“What is it?”
He then saw Liu Rushuang lift her T-shirt slightly, revealing her flat abdomen.
“This way works better! Your hands are warm, it feels good!”
Seeing that she was in this condition, Lin Mo figured she wasn’t teasing him, so he said nothing and placed his hands on her stomach.
The moment his hands touched her belly, Liu Rushuang completely felt their warmth. It was indeed much warmer than a woman’s hands and very comforting, like a portable heater.
“Mm~”
As Lin Mo began massaging, Liu Rushuang couldn’t help but moan softly. Then she lowered her T-shirt, covering his hand pressed against her stomach, and chuckled softly: “See, little brother? I didn’t lie to you. I told you to reach in and press!”
Lin Mo rolled his eyes: “Alright, enough talking. In this state, stop spouting nonsense. Whether with clothes or not, what difference does it make when I’m pressing your stomach?”
Though truth be told, it did feel better this way—but of course, he couldn’t say that.
“What? You want to press somewhere else?” Liu Rushuang glanced at her chest, then continued: “Your sister doesn’t have the strength to resist right now~ but you’ll have to wear a white coat first.”
Lin Mo: …
Taking deep breaths, silently reciting “Amitabha” a few times in his heart, Lin Mo finally refocused. In terms of teasing, he was no match for Empress Rushuang.
Seeing his expression, Liu Rushuang covered her mouth and laughed. She didn’t speak again, just quietly watched this little man massaging her. Honestly, he was quite charming like this.
Forty minutes later, Liu Rushuang’s symptoms had significantly eased. Lin Mo finally stopped and went to the kitchen.
“Drink the medicine. Also, no drinking these next two days. Keep your stomach and feet warm. Wear slippers at home, don’t run around barefoot!” He placed the freshly brewed medicine on the table, rubbing his sore wrists as he reminded her.
No wonder few women worked as massage therapists. This was clearly hard labor.
“Got it. Little brother really knows his stuff. Must’ve dated plenty of girlfriends before, right?” Liu Rushuang’s face had regained some color, and she teased with a smile.
Lin Mo turned his head and sat down on the sofa beside her: “This is just common sense, okay?”
“I don’t believe you. Tell me, how many girlfriends have you had?” Liu Rushuang pressed.
Lin Mo: “Not many, just 108. Each one had unique talents that made them unforgettable!”
“Liar!” Liu Rushuang pouted, then her eyes sparkled as she continued: “Don’t tell me you’ve never dated at all. You’re still a… no way.”
“My ex-girlfriends could fill a mahjong table, not that it’s your business!”
“Tch, with how cowardly you were just now, even if given the chance, you wouldn’t dare. A whole mahjong table? Please. I bet you’ve never even kissed a girl!”
Lin Mo: “Bullshit!”
Liu Rushuang: “You’re mad!”
Lin Mo: …
Seeing his reaction, Liu Rushuang laughed even harder, so much that her stomach barely hurt anymore.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo’s face flushed with anger. He didn’t want to bother with this woman anymore. Just when she got better, she had to revert to her old self.
Not only had she scared him early in the morning and dragged him out of bed to serve her—brewing medicine, fetching water, giving massages—he hadn’t even drunk a sip of water himself. And now, she had the nerve to mock him for never kissing a girl.
If only he had left her to suffer. Whenever she felt pain, she turned into a mute bride—much better for everyone.
He then looked at his phone, intending to check what new shopping pop-ups might be useful today. But with just one glance, he froze.
