Chapter 388: I Have an Idea
For the sake of love, Su Ruochu unhesitatingly joined the volunteer team for the quarantined dormitory building.
Three times a day, she had to carry a large number of boxed meals up and down the floors. Occasionally, she had to endure the irritation and scolding of some quarantined students who didn't understand the situation.
Su Ruochu didn't get angry about this, she just responded calmly.
Because as long as she accepted this job, she would have a few minutes to spend alone with Chen Fan every time she delivered meals.
Worried that Chen Fan would be bored alone, Su Ruochu brought him reading books, textbooks, and even brought over the laptop from the apartment.
On Chen Fan's side, every time he saw Ruochu sweating profusely from busyness, his heart ached.
He had tried to persuade Ruochu to give up this job several times, but each time Su Ruochu just responded with a smile, leaving Chen Fan at a loss.
This day, after delivering lunch, the two had a brief reunion in the dormitory room.
Chen Fan had no appetite, so he passed the boxed meal over. Su Ruochu smiled, not refusing, and while eating, she used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and held it to Chen Fan's mouth.
Chen Fan glanced at her, then opened his mouth and swallowed the lean meat.
"Wife, you've gotten thinner."
"It's good to be thinner, I've always wanted to lose weight but never succeeded," Su Ruochu smiled mischievously.
But Chen Fan couldn't smile at all.
"What's good about it? You're so thin now, I can't feel anything when I hug you, it's all bones."
"Oh, so you're starting to dislike me now, huh?"
"How could I..." Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm just worried about you."
"I'm fine," Su Ruochu put down her chopsticks and gently held Chen Fan's hand.
"It's my own choice, and just being able to see you every day makes me very happy. I don't feel tired at all."
Chen Fan raised his hand to tuck a strand of Su Ruochu's hair behind her ear, his heart aching.
"You were scolded again just now, weren't you?"
Su Ruochu smiled slightly: "It's okay, they just complain that the food isn't good, and being confined in the dormitory all day without being able to go out makes them frustrated."
"Actually, it's not directed at me, they're just venting their frustrations."
After saying this, Su Ruochu nervously grabbed Chen Fan's hand, "You must not cause any trouble."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "In your eyes, am I really that impulsive?"
"Mm-hmm."
Chen Fan: "..."
"Actually, with your job, you could try to do something for everyone."
Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he smiled as he suggested to Su Ruochu.
"How about this, when you deliver dinner tonight, you can ask everyone if they need anything. If it's within our means, maybe we can help out."
Su Ruochu's eyes brightened slightly.
"That's a good idea."
Chen Fan smiled: "I'm in quarantine, so I can understand how everyone feels."
Su Ruochu seemed to have suddenly found something she could do, and her face was still excited when she left.
Chen Fan had a sudden inspiration and suggested to her again: "When you come over tonight, see if you can find a list of phone numbers for this dormitory building."
"Oh, and try to get a phone card too."
"Huh? What do you want those for?"
Su Ruochu was a bit confused.
Chen Fan grinned: "It's a secret."
"Actually, it's mainly because I'm bored, I want to see if I can find some people to chat with."
Su Ruochu rolled her eyes, neither agreeing nor refusing.
"You better behave, or I won't bring you food this afternoon, and you'll starve to death."
After "threatening" Chen Fan, Su Ruochu finally turned and left, feeling satisfied.
When delivering dinner that night, Su Ruochu had an extra shoulder bag.
At each dormitory room, she would knock on the door, then stick a note on the door, along with a gel pen.
There was also an envelope containing several blank sheets of letter paper.
The content written on the note was simple.
It asked if anyone needed any items, which they could write down.
Also, if anyone wanted to write a letter to their girlfriend or boyfriend, they could write it down too.
This way, the next time Su Ruochu came to deliver food, she would collect them all and help send out the letters for free.
Soon, the whole dormitory building discovered this change, and many people let out excited screams.
Some people shouted "Thank you, beautiful junior!"
Chen Fan had already learned from Su Ruochu that most of the people quarantined in this building were senior students who had already graduated.
Many of them had rushed back this year for their thesis defense, but who would have thought they'd encounter a campus lockdown and couldn't leave.
The next day, Su Ruochu collected a large pile of notes, all of them filled with writing.
Some people wanted her to bring a few books, some wanted a pack of cigarettes, and others wanted a universal charger.
Besides that, there were requests for clean socks, underwear, clothes... all sorts of things.
Chen Fan even found two notes among them asking for help to bring two boxes of Durex.
This was obviously from a couple quarantined together.
Chen Fan sighed with feeling, they really weren't picky about the place.
Seeing Chen Fan's strange expression, Su Ruochu came over to take a look.
As a result, her little face instantly turned red.
Chen Fan chuckled, "Wife, you should learn from them."
"Look, even in quarantine they don't forget about the important things. Should we experience it too? Just treat it like staying in a themed hotel?"
Su Ruochu glared at him: "In your dreams."
"I knew you'd say that." Chen Fan put on a pitiful expression.
Su Ruochu saw this and felt a bit guilty.
After two seconds of silence, she hesitantly said in a low voice: "Not now, I still have to work. Besides... besides, the environment here is so dirty."
"At most..."
"At most, when you get out, I can stay with you in the apartment for one night."
"What?"
Chen Fan's eyes lit up.
"Wife, what did you say?"
Su Ruochu turned her head away, blushing.
"If you didn't hear it, forget it."
But Chen Fan suddenly picked up Su Ruochu and spun her around several times.
"Haha, you said it yourself, I heard it all clearly."
Su Ruochu was startled and kept patting Chen Fan's shoulders with her little hands.
"Put me down quickly, don't mess up other people's letters."
Chen Fan finally put Su Ruochu down, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, his mouth was almost grinning to his ears.
Seeing this, Su Ruochu couldn't help but giggle.
"You look silly."
"I have to go now. With so many things, I'll be busy today."
"Don't rush," Chen Fan said with a smile, pointing to the pile of notes on the bed.
"Let's categorize these notes first. We can help with reasonable requests, but we don't need to bother with those asking for too much."
Su Ruochu nodded.
The two spent another half hour categorizing all the notes.
They selected several dozen requests that weren't too excessive, and Su Ruochu took them and left excitedly to get busy.
As soon as Su Ruochu left, Chen Fan took out the box that she had just brought him.
Inside were a pair of high-volume speakers for computers, and a list of phone numbers for each dormitory building.
Looking at these items, Chen Fan's lips curled into a slight smile.
Su Ruochu was willing to risk her life for him.
It would be impossible not to be moved.
So Chen Fan decided to prepare a huge surprise for Su Ruochu before leaving quarantine.
As for whether the surprise would be successful, it depended on the preparations in the next few days.
With that, Chen Fan took out the pair of high-volume speakers from the box.
