Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

Chapter 387 Obedient and Clingy Younger Brother (98)

Jin Shuhe hailed a taxi at the entrance of his workplace, leaned back in his seat, and silently watched the scenery rushing past outside the window.

The weather was gloomy today, the air pressure was a bit low, and the slightly damp and chilly air seeped into my skin through the gaps in my clothes.

But Jin Shuhe felt a bit hot and even rolled down the car window a crack.

The wind hit my face, the traffic lights ahead changed again, the neon lights on the street lit up, and laughter came from the sidewalk.

Is this normal?

Jin Shuhe suddenly realized that he had never paid attention to these things before, and it was as if he hadn't noticed them for many years.

Everything around me seemed to have been thoroughly washed clean by last night's rain, appearing vibrant, clear, and almost like glass before me.

"Young man, are you a policeman?"

The driver spoke to Jin Shuhe casually from the front.

He met Jin Shuhe at the entrance of the Municipal Bureau.

"Hmm," Jin Shuhe replied casually.

"You know you don't allow parking in front of your workplace, right? I had already parked my car when I saw you coming, and my heart skipped a beat. I thought, 'Are you trying to set me up?' But then I remembered, you're not the traffic police." The driver rambled on.

As Jin Shuhe listened to his words, she suddenly remembered the first time she couldn't go home when she had just started working.

Sister Li Ruan took a taxi to deliver clothes and food to me that night, and I think she said something like that, and then she turned and walked away.

Jin Shuhe recalled that day, when he watched Sister Li Ruan's skirt flutter in the wind, his heart filled with conflicting emotions.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Why are you so happy?"

Upon hearing the driver's teasing, Jin Shuhe realized that the corners of his mouth had involuntarily turned up, and he couldn't suppress it.

"I'm thinking about something happy." Jin Shuhe couldn't help but chat with him for a bit.

When the driver heard that Jin Shuhe was going to find a girlfriend, he gave him a look that said, "I understand, I understand, I've been there too."

"That's wonderful, so young! Back in the day, my wife and I were the same. I would laugh out loud in the middle of the night thinking about how I had found such a wonderful wife. So many years have passed, we're an old married couple now, we don't have that feeling anymore, we're just family now!"

The driver started talking to Jin Shuhe about his family.

The road ahead was a bit congested, and the driver was constantly alternating between pressing the accelerator and the brake.

The car swayed and rocked, like a boat that could make you dizzy...

Jin Shuhe was no longer listening to the driver's words, but in her heart she was thinking: Sister Li Ruan and I are already family. We were family first, and then lovers. No matter what kind of relationship we have, we will always love each other.

When the car finally arrived at its destination, Jin Shuhe opened the car door. Rain was already falling steadily, pattering on his face and body.

The water droplets landed on my eyes, obscured by my eyelashes, and blurred into a hazy, watery mess as they hit my eyes. The signboard of the fruit shop across the street flickered and spun.

Jin Shuhe spent seventy yuan to buy a whole watermelon.

Standing downstairs, looking up, I saw the lights in my apartment were on...

Sister Li Ruan no longer needs to pretend she's not here.

"Ding-dong—" The doorbell rang.

Lu Liruan was startled reflexively, and then heard Jin Shuhe's voice from outside: "Sister Liruan! Open the door for me! It's so heavy!"

Lu Liruan let out a breath and quickly walked over. When she put her hand on the doorknob, her heart suddenly started racing for no apparent reason.

"Click——"

"Wow! You bought something this big? Put it on the ground!"

When Lu Liruan opened the door, she was startled to see a huge watermelon.

"Did you buy the biggest one in the store?" Lu Liruan helped him out, and the two of them squatted down together to put the watermelon on the ground.

Then... Lu Liruan rolled the watermelon into the kitchen like a ball.

Before he could even stand up, suddenly, a body wrapped around him from behind.

The child, who hadn't been home for many days, buried his chin in Lu Liruan's neck, nuzzled her, and his breath tickled her neck.

"You haven't changed your clothes yet! You've soaked my clothes!" Lu Liruan reached out to touch him, only to find his damp coat on her body. She complained loudly and generously!

"I can't wait any longer..."

"I miss you so much... Sister Li Ruan, I miss you so much that I can't move when I see you." Jin Shuhe leaned some of his weight on Lu Li Ruan again.

They are attached and affectionate, as if they want to completely embrace the other person and embed them into their own body.

"How much did you miss me?" Lu Liruan was bent over by his weight, trying to maintain an uncomfortable position, and coaxed him softly, "You missed me so much that you bought such a huge watermelon to express it?"

"You think that by buying me such a huge watermelon as an apology, I can forget about your behavior of seemingly disappearing from the face of the earth these past few days?"

"I didn't disappear!" Jin Shuhe felt quite aggrieved, but also a little guilty. He was indeed so busy that he sometimes didn't see Sister Li Ruan's messages until very late.

"Sigh... To find out how you are, whether you are safe or not, we have to get the news from other people..." Lu Liruan deliberately dragged out her sigh.

"Hmm?" Jin Shuhe moved his head sharply, suddenly snorted through his nose, then bit Lu Liruan's earlobe with his teeth and mumbled, "I said... Sister Lü and Brother Wen, why do you sometimes secretly point your phones at me!"

Lu Liruan couldn't stop laughing: "Hahahaha! You found them out?"

Jin Shuhe has always had keen senses and excellent dynamic vision. When playing 3D games, he can easily defeat three Lu Liruan.

How could they not notice? Besides, those two were completely blatant; they weren't hiding from him at all.

"How did they discuss this with you?" Jin Shuhe didn't bite Sister Li hard, but like a puppy, he kissed the spot he had bitten again and again.

“Hmm…we swapped breakfasts, one meal each, spread over two days.” Lu Liruan placed her hand on the one clasped around her waist and squeezed his wrist: “You, the victim, have to personally deliver it to them.”

Jin Shuhe gave a soft snort and tightened his grip on her arm.

Lu Liruan found his reaction amusing and continued to tease him: "See, it's clear now that there's a significant difference between us..."

"Hmm?" Jin Shuhe didn't understand, but then he felt Li Ruan in his arms laugh, her voice soft and gentle.

"Doesn't this sound like me asking a kindergarten teacher: 'Hello teacher, was my little He good today? Did she eat well? Did she secretly cry because she missed her sister?'"

"Our Xiaohe always acts like a little man at home, but he acts like a little adult in front of his older sister. It's so cute..."

"Teacher, could you take some pictures of Xiaohe? Xiaohe doesn't miss her older sister, but her older sister misses Xiaohe!"

Jin Shuhe was so touched by his sister's soft-spoken words that his heart melted.

Lu Liruan actually wanted to explain that she had just said it casually at the time.

"I told them to just tell me how you are, that they weren't monitoring your work, and that it won't happen again," Lu Liruan said earnestly. She was really worried about Jin Shuhe at the time, especially after finding out...

Lu Liruan was so surprised that she tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, unable to imagine what Jin Shuhe must have felt at that moment.

“I’m so glad Sister Li Ruan was so worried about me. It’s okay, I’ll bring them breakfast.” Jin Shuhe interrupted Lu Li Ruan.

"Get up quickly, my back is going to break!" Lu Liruan was overwhelmed by his increasingly unrestrained koala-like hug.

As soon as she finished speaking, she was put down and lifted up. Jin Shuhe picked her up and carried her towards the sofa.

He glanced at the sofa, then his gaze fell on the fluffy carpet.

"I'll go clean the carpets tomorrow..."

After explaining carefully, he placed Lu Liruan on the carpet and hugged her tightly again: "Let me hug you a little longer, sister... I missed you so much. Actually, I cried secretly behind the teacher's back, but the teacher didn't find out..."

He continued to weave together Lu Liruan's story.

The main reason is that his absence is the greatest guarantee of Lu Liruan's safety. The house is safe as long as Lu Liruan doesn't open the door for anyone.

Jin Shuhe leaned against Lu Liruan, took off his damp coat, and threw it on the ground.

"You're so good at being cute..." Lu Liruan was amused by him and let him lie on her lap, wrapping his arms around her waist. The two of them seemed to have a skin hunger, and just stayed close to each other like that.

"Are you happy?" Lu Liruan ran her fingers through his slightly long hair.

Jin Shuhe knew what she meant by asking, hesitated for a moment, and then said sullenly, "I don't know."

"Ah."

“I should be happy, but I’m not happy at all. I’m a little better now, and I’m so glad it’s all over,” he murmured.

The person you trusted was the wicked and unrepentant villain; the deceased are gone forever, leaving you with a sudden and profound emptiness.

Lu Liruan sensed his dejection.

"At least... we should be happy for Aunt Chen."

Lu Liruan heard about Aunt Chen's story from Aunt Xia.

After confirming with the police that Aunt Chen's experience did not need to be kept secret, Aunt Xia called Lu Liruan and cried for a long time while talking.

"Xiao Lu, I don't know who to talk to. I just... feel terrible, really terrible."

Aunt Xia may not be highly educated, but her words and actions are always warm—the warmth of her kind heart, the warmth of her ever-enthusiastic approach to life.

"Auntie isn't very capable, Xiao Lu, you said you could help her find a job, but... let's help her, she's having such a hard time." Aunt Xia was worried about Aunt Chen just like she had worried about Jin Shuhe, a child with whom she had no relation.

“My husband is working out of town since the beginning of the year and won’t be coming back much, so let her stay here for now. As for work…”

"Don't worry, Auntie, the job is real. If all else fails, Aunt Chen can come work for me. I was planning to open another shop this year anyway," Lu Liruan replied confidently.

"Uncle, you're so old, why are you still working in other places?" Lu Liruan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Sigh... I just can't stay idle. I've worked my whole life, and if I don't work, I'll become too stiff. I say I want to save up more money to leave to my children and grandchildren. I don't expect anything else in this life."

Lu Liruan slowly recounted to him what she and Aunt Xia had said on the phone.

Jin Shuhe pressed his forehead against Lu Liruan's lower abdomen, feeling the frequency of her breathing as she spoke.

"Yes, you're right," Jin Shuhe said softly in a muffled voice.

"Alright, stop lounging around here. What do you want to eat?" Lu Liruan nudged him, but he wouldn't budge.

"Just order takeout..." He hugged Lu Liruan, not letting her leave.

"I was just ordering takeout, but I got back late today and didn't have time to cook. My phone is over there!" Lu Liruan flicked his forehead with her finger.

Jin Shuhe: ...

Thinking I would receive a warm welcome from Sister Li Ruan, it seems I was being a bit presumptuous.

"Oh, take my points..."

He stretched out his arm, hooked the coat that was thrown on the ground, took out his phone from the pocket, unlocked it, and handed it to Lu Liruan.

"Are you going to eat while lying on me?" Lu Liruan changed her position, ordering takeout while still unable to resist leaning down and kissing his forehead.

So good.

The two of them eventually went to the dining table and ate their meal.

After dinner, Lu Liruan cut the watermelon in half. It was so big that the two of them ate a quarter of it despite their best efforts.

"I'll cut up the fruit tomorrow, and you can take it to work. You're not resting tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah, no rest."

"Poor thing..." Lu Liruan patted his head: "Go on, go wash the dishes. How long has it been since you washed the dishes? Kid, an unbalanced distribution of household chores will cause conflicts!"

Lu Liruan, who usually doesn't do much housework when she's home alone, put on an air of being a hard-working and accomplished person and sauntered back to the living room.

After a while, I watched as Jin Shuhe took a rag and started tidying up the room.

I'm such a nasty adult.

While enjoying herself, Lu Liruan pretended to despise herself.

I thought Jin Shuhe would have to go to bed early today. He is fair-skinned, and his dark circles are particularly noticeable, making him look somewhat tired and vulnerable.

Unexpectedly, Lu Liruan was in her room turning on her computer, preparing to edit videos and write scripts for a while, when the half-closed door was suddenly pushed open.

Turning around, she saw Jin Shuhe, who had just finished showering and whose hair wasn't completely dry, standing at the door with his head down and eyes downcast.

"What's wrong?" Lu Liruan asked, puzzled.

"I can't sleep, can I sleep with Sister Li Ruan?" He pursed his lips.

Lu Liruan: ...

"Do you really want me to tell you a bedtime story?"

Jin Shuhe was right. Just like last time, he hadn't been home for half a month. He was finally home, but he had to go to work the next morning. As he lay in bed, he felt increasingly unwilling.

But this time is different from the last time.

He lay on Sister Li Ruan's bed, waiting for her to return.

Today, Sister Li Ruan wore a soft cotton nightgown with a shallow square neckline.

As she leaned over to turn off the bedside lamp, part of her slender back, connecting to the back of her neck, was exposed. In the darkness, her skin appeared as smooth as a pearl.

Jin Shuhe didn't even know how he managed to kiss him.

He wrapped his arms around Sister Li Ruan's soft body, and through the thin fabric, he felt the heat of his body burning the fabric away.

His hand caressed skin as smooth as pearls and as white as milk. He dared not exert any force, for he heard Sister Li Ruan softly calling his name in his ear, her continuous panting making it impossible to tell whose breath it was...
