Moreover, Gu Ran had also dispelled the smell of alcohol from Zhao Yuansong last night.
In other words, he cannot use being drunk and confused as an excuse to go for a run and walk his bird; he must undergo a series of diagnoses at a mental hospital.
He will definitely be able to get out eventually, it just will take some time and some courage.
After all, he's famous throughout Shanghai now, and people at his school know about his undressing and its impact on the city's appearance.
Consider this a lesson for him.
……
In the days that followed, now that Liu Miaomiao had exposed her, Su Xiaoqiang didn't hide anything anymore and took every opportunity to be intimate with her boyfriend.
At first, Liu Miaomiao would occasionally tease them when she saw them, and sometimes she would curiously watch their conversation like a little girl. Sometimes she would even take out her phone to record videos and make fun of Su Xiaoqiang.
But as Su Xiaoqiang and Gu Ran became increasingly shameless, they frequently flirted and hugged in the living room, oblivious to everyone else...
Liu Miaomiao finally understood that the two of them had been sneaking around all this time to protect single people.
Finally, she couldn't help but apologize to Su Xiaoqiang first, and then begged them to take care of single people one more time...
Yes, I was speaking too loudly before. I admit my mistake. Please, please stop publicly displaying your affection and tormenting us with your love!
Perhaps due to being subjected to public displays of affection that left her feeling somewhat listless, Liu Miaomiao caught a cold on New Year's Eve.
While the common cold can be treated with palm magic, if the flu is cured directly in this way, the body will lack antibodies, and the person will get sick again when encountering the same cold virus next time.
So I just let her handle it herself.
Su Xiaoqiang has been taking good care of her these past few days, showing no sign of forgetting his duty to her for the sake of her.
During the three-day New Year's Day holiday, Liu Miaomiao stayed in bed for two days and rested enough to recover from her cold.
But as soon as she recovered from her cold, Su Xiaoqiang fell ill the next day.
Of course, she would take care of her own girlfriend, but Liu Miaomiao was afraid that Gu Ran would also be infected, so she used the excuse that she had antibodies to take care of Su Xiaoqiang by herself.
Chapter 203 Su Xiaoqiang's Day
Su Xiaoqiang is in good health, and her cold wasn't too serious; she was fine after a day of sleep. It was just a pity that the three of them didn't go out together during this holiday; they just stayed home and slept all day.
During the New Year's holiday, Gu Ran was busy and went to visit Lü Zhong.
After the detoxification, Lü Zhong's physical condition recovered, and the residual toxins in his blood were also cleared away under Ji Yuanhua's conditioning. His body regained its vitality, and he looked decades younger.
Following her grandfather's instructions, Lü Xue'er stayed by Nuwa's side and now works as a security guard and waitress at the top-floor club, working alongside the club manager, Du Huimin.
This was arranged by Lü Zhong.
He felt that it wasn't right for his grandchildren to live in the mountains all the time, so he decided to let Lü Xue'er live in Shanghai from now on.
And her grandson, Lü Yongbin, after being captured and released from imprisonment, will also be placed in the same way, with Nuwa disciplining him.
Sun Zilu Yongbin has been on the run for so long, and so far there is still no clear news about him, nor is anyone sure where he is hiding.
Nuwa gave the Lü family a month's notice. If they couldn't be captured, she would have Gu Ran use the power of the Secret Party to capture them, and she made it clear that Gu Ran would be in charge of dealing with them at that time.
Gu Ran also said that if Lü Yongbin commits an unforgivable crime, he will kill him without any mercy.
So Lü Zhong and Lü Xue'er put even more effort into finding the person.
Lu Xue'er was a clever girl. She knew she had to lure the snake out of its hole, so she used her grandfather as bait.
She believed that her younger brother was not a heartless person and that he would come back to save their grandfather.
In the past few days, Gu Ran has also learned about the existence of 'snakes'.
There is a person in Shanghai who possesses the power of the word 'snake,' and the entire city of Shanghai is under his surveillance.
If a hybrid or dragon enters, he can find out the information immediately and react and take action.
The person who controls the 'snake' will not show himself; only Nuwa knows his whereabouts.
There were snakes around Su Xiaoqiang and Gu Ran. Taking advantage of the free time, Gu Ran used his Sage Mode to sense natural energy and searched around. He could indeed see snakes around the neighborhood and even greeted one of them.
But the person controlling the 'snake' seemed very shy; the snake bowed once and immediately left, showing no intention of communicating with him.
Although Gu Ran could use the power of nature to find the person who controlled the 'snake', it wouldn't be polite to just barge in, so he didn't continue to bother them.
……
On the first day after the New Year's Day holiday, Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao drove to school as usual.
Because the teacher rescheduled the classes, she didn't have any classes in the first two periods. After dropping Liu Miaomiao off at school, she planned to drive to a nearby securities company to open a stock account.
A few days ago, Gu Ran gave her another check for one million yuan. It seems he planned to buy Moutai stock and hoard it, so she could buy it whenever the price was below 150 yuan.
After buying, follow the market trend. If the market rises, sell; if the market falls, buy more. Then, just wait for the annual dividends.
Su Xiaoqiang knew very little about stocks, but she was aware that the stock market was not doing well in the short term.
But Gu Ran said this was a long-term investment, and that they would get married in ten years, and this money would be their allowance after marriage...
Well, since he's thinking so far ahead, I'll just listen to him.
While driving, Su Xiaoqiang encountered an elderly scavenger who was collecting bottles. While crossing the road, the bottle spilled all over the ground, right in front of Su Xiaoqiang's car.
Su Xiaoqiang then got out of the car to help pick up the bottles.
She was also trying to make things easier for herself, as she had classes in the third and fourth periods in the morning and needed to save some time.
Several men in suits and ties saw this and also joined the team collecting bottles.
They mainly wanted to strike up a conversation with a pretty girl who was helping out, and kept asking Su Xiaoqiang for her personal information.
Su Xiaoqiang was too lazy to deal with these people, so she said that she had a boyfriend and that the not-so-expensive top-of-the-line A4 in the back was a gift from him.
Sure enough, those people stopped talking after hearing this, knowing they were not worthy of his attention.
Soon all the bottles scattered along the roadside were collected.
The elderly scavenger kept thanking Su Xiaoqiang.
Su Xiaoqiang said "You're welcome" and drove to the securities company ahead.
Because the stock market is in a bear market, there aren't many people working at securities firms.
Several securities managers, eager to boost their sales targets, came to Su Xiaoqiang's place to promote all sorts of securities projects, causing her a terrible headache.
"If this is the kind of annoying attitude you have here, I won't open an account here," Su Xiaoqiang said coldly with a frigid face.
These people only calmed down after the customer got angry.
After she finished opening her account and came out of the securities company, she found the old man who had been collecting bottles waiting in front of her car. He handed her a drink and thanked her.
Su Xiaoqiang didn't mind the mess, politely accepted the drink, put it in the car, and then drove away.
She wouldn't drink that beverage. She'd known she was pretty since she was little, so she consciously protected herself and wouldn't drink beverages offered by strangers.
But she wouldn't throw it away in front of everyone; she planned to give it to any boy she could find when she got back to the classroom.
As it happened, the first person I ran into at school was Deng Guobin, so I offered him a drink.
Deng Guobin was flattered, but he didn't presume to be affectionate.
"By the way, Su Xiaoqiang, there's something I want to ask you."
Deng Guobin still remembered that Gu Ran had earned fifty million US dollars and was very curious to know how he did it.
But Su Xiaoqiang didn't know either. She only knew that the money came from a legal and compliant source, but she didn't ask for the specifics.
As Su's father once said, there are many ways for men to make money, so don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.
Therefore, she never asked about the source of the funds and unconditionally trusted her boyfriend.
Deng Guobin's family was not well-off, and he had to rely on loans to go to school. Fortunately, the tuition fees for a top-tier university were not high, but the cost of living in Shanghai was quite high.
So he has been looking for job opportunities.
But Su Xiaoqiang couldn't do anything about it; she didn't have any connections in Shanghai, not even as many as Gu Ran.
He can call a luxury car late at night and arrange dinner at a members-only private club.
My man is amazing!
Deng Guobin pleaded repeatedly, hoping to get a chance to make money. Su Xiaoqiang thought for a moment and said that she could introduce Deng Guobin to mine at her home during the winter and summer vacations.
Miners' wages are quite high.
But his personality... Su Xiaoqiang was afraid that he would offend people in the mine and never come back from underground.
Where will they find a son to replace the parents?
Su Xiaoqiang is decisive and insightful.
So in the end she didn't promise anything, only saying that she would go back and ask Gu Ran and discuss it with her boyfriend.
Deng Guobin then left dejectedly.
The class I have to attend this morning is Professor Nie Qiuyue's advanced mathematics class.
Because of their public display of affection during the singing competition, Su Xiaoqiang's enthusiasm and exuberance were witnessed by teachers and students, and the whole school knew about it.
And because her boyfriend teased her during the last advanced mathematics class, causing her to accidentally laugh out loud, she was called out by Nie Qiuyue.
So in class today, Nie Qiuyue brought up Su Xiaoqiang's public display of affection again, and the classmates teased her, making Su Xiaoqiang quite embarrassed.
Nie Qiuyue said that young people today are bold in love and hate, which is a good thing. She hopes that young people will not be ashamed to express themselves, but will be more outgoing, and will not just study by rote, but will pay more attention to interpersonal communication.
Nie Qiuyue was just sharing her experiences as someone who had been through it all. The students could listen if they found it useful, and if not, they could just ignore it and continue with the lesson.
That's how university professors are; they tend to say a few extra words whenever they feel like it.
After class, around lunchtime, Su Xiaoqiang went to find Liu Miaomiao for lunch.
Thanks to her, Su Xiaoqiang is now sleeping in the same bed with Gu Ran, but the two have not yet taken the final step.
On the one hand, her boyfriend wasn't proactive about it.
Logically speaking, men should be more eager in this regard, but her boyfriend wasn't in a hurry at all.
Another reason was Su Xiaoqiang herself. She always felt that the atmosphere was lacking and that the first time should be in a romantic setting to make it more memorable.
Girls value their first time a lot and hope for a sense of ceremony so that they can remember it with more romance in the future.
So even though the two were sleeping in the same bed and occasionally getting intimate, they always kept it brief and didn't cross any boundaries.
