Chapter 387: Crazy for Love
Chen Fan hadn't received a reply from Su Ruochu all night.
He felt his wife must be angry.
Early the next morning, as soon as Chen Fan woke up, he grabbed his phone to call Su Ruochu without even washing up.
But still, no one answered the phone.
Chen Fan felt a bit irritated. Was she really angry?
This didn't seem like Su Ruochu's usual behavior.
As he was pondering, there came a knock at the dorm room door.
"Meal delivery."
The breakfast delivery had arrived.
Chen Fan hastily threw on a T-shirt, got up and walked to the door, yanking it open.
But when he saw the figure standing at the door, Chen Fan was instantly stunned.
Su Ruochu was wearing protective gear, her long hair tied in a ponytail, with a thick mask on her face, and carrying two large bags of boxed meals.
She was smiling at Chen Fan.
"You... you..."
Chen Fan stuttered "you you" for a while, but ultimately couldn't utter a single coherent word in his shock.
Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Su Ruochu's wrist, pulling her into the dorm room.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Su Ruochu was startled, "I still have to..."
Before she could finish, Chen Fan had already pulled her into a tight embrace, his arms squeezing hard.
Feeling Chen Fan's force, Su Ruochu stood still with the boxes in her hands, allowing Chen Fan to hug her.
"Mmph, I can't breathe..."
Only then did Chen Fan loosen his grip, his eyes still fixed intently on Su Ruochu, as if not yet recovered from the shock.
"How did you get here?"
"What's going on?"
Su Ruochu smiled smugly, her eyes once again curving into beautiful crescents.
Just like a little fox who had succeeded in her trick.
"The uncle who was in charge of delivering meals got sick, so the school recruited student volunteers to deliver meals. I signed up."
"You..."
Chen Fan was startled, "You signed up yourself?"
"Yes, I signed up yesterday, and the school approved it early this morning."
Su Ruochu said playfully, "Surprised? Isn't it a big surprise?"
Chen Fan was speechless.
"How reckless!"
"How could you volunteer for something like this?"
"Do you know how dangerous it is? What if you get infected?"
Su Ruochu smiled gently: "It's not that serious. Besides, I'm just responsible for delivering meals, not contacting them directly."
"Look at me now, fully protected. I just need to put the meal boxes at their door and knock. It's not as serious as you say."
"Still, it's not okay."
Chen Fan waved his hand, seeming a bit anxious.
"Go find the leaders right now and quit this job. We're not doing it anymore."
"This isn't a game, it's very dangerous. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance of infection, I absolutely can't let you take that risk."
Su Ruochu stood still, pouting, looking at Chen Fan with an unhappy face.
Seeing this, Chen Fan realized his tone might have been a bit harsh just now.
He quickly reached out to grasp Su Ruochu's wrist, took the plastic bags from her hands, and put them aside. Then he led Su Ruochu towards the bed.
"I can't stay long, I still need to deliver meals to other dorms,"
Su Ruochu mumbled softly.
"Let them starve for a while. Missing one meal won't kill them,"
Chen Fan said very domineering, pulling Su Ruochu to sit down on the bed.
"Listen to me, go and quit."
Su Ruochu shook her head stubbornly.
"No."
"Why are you being so stubborn?" Chen Fan was getting exasperated.
Su Ruochu explained in a low voice: "I can't quit. When I signed up, the leaders of our college knew about it. This morning, the counselor even met with me and encouraged me."
Chen Fan was dismissive, "So what? Compared to your life, that's..."
"I won't quit,"
Su Ruochu's eyes were unusually determined.
"I'm not doing this for any honors. Right now, there aren't many people willing to come to the quarantine dorm building, and there aren't nearly enough volunteers."
"The school has been promoting this heavily, and since I signed up, I've naturally considered all the possibilities."
"Of course, the main reason I signed up is that I want to see you."
"Only by seeing with my own eyes that you're okay can I feel at ease."
Hearing these words, the softest part of Chen Fan's heart was pierced once again.
This guy who rarely cried had reddened eyes for the first time, and couldn't help but pull Su Ruochu into his arms again.
Su Ruochu allowed Chen Fan to hug her, gently embracing his back with both hands.
"Chen Fan..."
"Mm."
"Please don't make me leave, okay?"
"When I found out you had moved in here, I was terrified. I couldn't wait another moment. I just wanted to see you right away."
"If you make me wait half a month to see you again, I'll go crazy. I really will go crazy."
Chen Fan tilted his head, burying his entire face deep in Su Ruochu's hair.
"Wife, this is really dangerous. Please don't underestimate it."
"I usually stay alone in the dorm, it's no different from living in an apartment, and I don't have contact with them."
"But you're different, your job is much more dangerous than mine. At any time you might..."
Su Ruochu quickly explained: "It won't happen. I'm only responsible for putting their meal boxes at the door, I don't have contact with them. And for the daily temperature checks, we don't need to open the door, we'll ask through the dorm phone."
As if afraid Chen Fan would get angry, Su Ruochu looked up and gently kissed Chen Fan's face.
"Please let me continue doing this, okay?"
"I promise, I'll definitely protect myself well."
"I just want to see you every day."
Chen Fan sighed, "You need to think this through carefully. I'll only be quarantined here for at most half a month. But once you accept this job, you'll have to stick with it until the school lifts the lockdown and the entire quarantine ends."
"I estimate it'll be at least several months."
Su Ruochu smiled lightly, "It won't be that long."
"The counselor told me, it'll be a month at most, because summer break is coming soon. By then, the school might lift the lockdown."
"Think about it, the school can't keep all the students locked up and not let them go home for summer break, right?"
Chen Fan glared at Su Ruochu, his expression not looking good.
"I can't win an argument with you. You always have a reason. You're Miss Know-It-All."
Su Ruochu smiled lightly, and took the initiative to kiss Chen Fan again.
This time on the lips.
"Is this okay now?"
Chen Fan let out a deep sigh. He had clearly been defeated by her.
"Let's be clear, I want to see you every day, and if I find you have any headaches or fevers, this job of yours must end immediately."
"Okay. I'll do as you say."
Seeing Chen Fan finally give in, Su Ruochu also showed a joyful smile.
"Alright. Now that I've comforted you, this big boy, I should get back to my work."
As Su Ruochu was about to stand up, Chen Fan suddenly grabbed her wrist, gently pulled her over, and with a surprised yelp, she sat on his lap.
"What... what are you doing? I still need to go to work."
"It's fine, a bunch of people staying in dorms without activity, they won't starve if they eat a bit late."
Su Ruochu was torn between laughter and tears, "If it's late the food will get cold, they'll complain about me."
But Chen Fan stubbornly held Su Ruochu tight.
"Let me hug you for one more minute."
"Just one minute..."
