Chapter 8

Her right hand hurt as if it were on fire. Shen Qian gritted her teeth and endured it. Only by enduring the greatest hardships can one rise above others

Suddenly, a flash of lightning appeared before her eyes, startling her. Immediately afterward, the sky erupted with a loud roar as thunder struck. Shen Qian realized the current situation and thought to herself that this rain must be a torrential downpour.

This joke is quite cold, Shen Qian chuckled dryly a couple of times and decided to remain silent

"Alright, I will love you," Gao Changfeng said impatiently, directly dragging Li Meili out. Shen Qian looked at the couple, feeling both amused and exasperated; their playful bickering indicated that they were actually living quite well.

Shen Qian merely waved her hand at the person behind her, not even turning her head, and continued walking

Li Meili, are you singing a sad song again? Gao Changfeng burst in, his face covered in sweat. Although his skin was dark, it was still evident that it had been sunburned to a bright red. This Li Meili really doesn't care about her husband, making him stand under the sun.

Shen Qian gritted her teeth and secretly glanced at You Ran. His expression was too calm, making it impossible to discern what he was thinking. Shen Qian weighed her options; at most, she would just touch a bit of flesh, which was not a big deal. Moreover, she was indeed in a very inconvenient situation at the moment, as undressing was not something she could accomplish alone.

When this person encounters misfortune, everything goes wrong. She originally intended to go to the vegetable market to avoid it, but unexpectedly, the entrance to the market prominently displayed a sign saying "Under Renovation..." Outside the entrance, there were stalls calling out to Shen Qian. They were all covered with tarpaulin. Shen Qian wanted to take shelter from the rain, but as she approached, an uncle nearby, who was mashing something, poked the accumulated water on the tarpaulin with a stick. When the water poured out, Shen Qian happened to be passing by, and a large puddle drenched her from head to toe.

The two dogs saw Shen Qian standing outside the fence, both stood up and barked a few times.

After Shen Qian finished her grocery shopping, she walked home. The rain hit her face painfully, trickling down from the top of her head and occasionally sliding into her eyes, making it difficult for her to open them. On this street, there were hardly any pedestrians like Shen Qian, calmly walking home in the rain. Due to the heavy rain and wind, umbrellas could not be opened. Passersby were continuously hailing taxis to return home. Due to the heavy rain and wind, umbrellas could not be opened. Passersby were continuously hailing taxis to return home

"I just came to say hello, I'm off to have some romance!" Li Meili said with a mischievous smile, raising her eyebrows. Shen Qian pouted, rolled her eyes at the ceiling, and sighed lightly, "If your husband is here, then let him come. Just follow along, no need to report to me."

The weather remains hot, and the cicadas on the treetops keep chirping incessantly, adding to the noise. Under the cloudless blue sky, the sun blazes fiercely, and people of all ages, both men and women, are almost all exposing their fragrant shoulders and fair legs, presenting a scene of flesh on display.

A man stepped out of a Maybach, holding a black umbrella, and called out behind Shen Qian: "Miss, are you alright?"

Shen Qianshun glanced towards the window, and indeed, the originally clear sky was completely covered by dark clouds. The horizon was dim and gloomy, clearly indicating the impending arrival of a heavy downpour

You Ran escorted Shen Qian all the way to her room, gently placing her on the bed, and asked, "Why not change into some clothes?" Shen Qian obediently nodded, and seeing that You Ran had no intention of leaving, she lightly coughed and said, "I will change clothes, um..."

Shen Qian was on duty in the afternoon, and the air conditioning in the consultation room had been repaired. Naturally, she felt quite comfortable in the air-conditioned room. During the summer, the dogs no longer engaged in their mating behaviors, which reduced her workload, leading Shen Qian to take out her phone to play Dou Di Zhu.

Shen Qian's face immediately showed three lines of displeasure, a forced smile on her lips, "What are you here for again? It's not appropriate to visit during work hours."

She is now completely soaked, no need to hide, just go ahead like this. She remains very calm, as if in clear weather, leisurely shopping for groceries. Meanwhile, the vegetable sellers look at the girl who enjoys buying groceries in heavy rain with a sense of curiosity, as she is truly exceptional

"Qianqian, I know it's you, just give me a sign." You Ran wanted to step into the rain, but Shen Qian quickly stepped forward to stop her, "I’m back, don’t come out, it’s raining heavily."

"Oh, you can leave now," Shen Qian said as she plopped back down into her seat. Li Meili, seeing Shen Qian's disregard for her, dramatically wiped her tears and exclaimed, "Little cabbage, oh, in the field, yellow, just two or three years old, abandoned, thinking only of loving Qian Qian, yet alas, Qian Qian only loves him..." Li Meili covered her face in a tragic manner, looking at Shen Qian with a pout, resembling a puppy. "Little cabbage, oh, in the field, yellow, just two or three years old, abandoned, thinking only of loving Qian Qian, yet alas, Qian Qian only loves him..." Li Meili covered her face in a tragic manner, looking at Shen Qian with a pout, resembling a puppy.

The person has a tall and slender figure, standing upright with distinct features. His deep-set facial features, especially his pair of haunting blue eyes and high nose bridge, clearly indicate mixed heritage. What draws the most attention is that he is driving an imported Maybach 6.0T62 Zeppelin, valued at over 12 million. The umbrella he holds is a custom order for clients of Billionaire Couture, with a price tag of 50,000 dollars, made from pure crocodile leather. On his wrist is a Patek Philippe watch, of which only two pieces exist worldwide. One was gifted by Patek Philippe to a British prince, while the other was acquired by a wealthy businessman for 10 million dollars.

When she arrived home, she saw a man and two dogs sitting at the entrance of the fence. The man sat with his knees hugged, his eyelids lowered, and his crisp white T-shirt contrasted with his excessively pale face. In this noisy rainy day, he appeared so quiet, sitting in silence and focus. Beside him sat two dogs, both lying on the ground, gazing at each other from a distance.

"Take the umbrella." The security guard handed her the umbrella. Shen Qian smiled and said, "I've already been soaked for so long, I don't mind a little more time." After saying this, she hurried out of the reception room and sped towards You Ran's home.

Shen Qian's lips twitched slightly as she silently counted to three, one, two, three

"Then... then I trouble you." Shen Qian said, her face unexpectedly turning red.

It seems that it is going to rain Several colleagues from next door passed by Shen Qian's office after work and began to discuss

Shen Qian immediately put down the book, hurriedly took off her white coat, grabbed the backpack from the sofa, and rushed out of the consultation room to buy groceries. She had told You Ran earlier that she would prepare a delicious new dish today. As she ran out, she realized that the sky was even darker than it had appeared from the window. She didn't mind the rain; she had her little floral umbrella.

* * *

"In order to avoid the rain, I ran too quickly and fell." Shen Qian did not understand why she had to lie.

Shen Qian was taken aback, rummaging through her bag for her phone, only to suddenly realize that it was not there. Where could her phone have gone? She then recalled the last moment she had touched her phone; after finishing a game of Dou Di Zhu, she had tucked her phone into the pocket of her white coat.

Without a word, You Ran suddenly picked Shen Qian up horizontally. Shen Qian exclaimed and clung tightly to him, fearing that he might lose his balance and drop her. In a panic, Shen Qian asked, "What are you doing?"

The man, curled up with his knees, suddenly lifted his head, unable to find a focal point, merely revealing a smile that seemed on the verge of tears, "Qianqian, you have returned?"

Reading books is a relatively easy way to pass the time, and Shen Qian gradually lost track of it.

Li Meili immediately threw herself into Gao Changfeng's arms, "Husband, Qianqian no longer loves me"

The vegetable market is very close to Jiangxia Community, just along the way. Shen Qian got off the bus five stops early to go to the market. However, before she had walked halfway, a flash of lightning appeared, followed by a crack of thunder. The gray sky lit up with a huge white light, and a buzzing sound resonated overhead.

Why does it sound so awkward?

Shen Qian grimaced in pain, her right hand hurting significantly. Every movement of her joints sent sharp pangs through her. When she arrived at the entrance of Jiangxia Community, the security guard had already been waiting there for quite some time. Braving the heavy downpour, he rushed to Shen Qian and pulled her into the reception room, saying, "Miss Shen, where have you been? I couldn't reach you on your phone; Mr. You is extremely worried."

Shen Qian was rendered speechless by his words. Given her current situation, she truly could not undress herself from the inside out, especially since the clasp of her underwear was at the back, making it even more impossible to remove. To make matters worse, she was completely soaked and had to take everything off.

"Old man, are you blind? Oh dear, miss, are you alright?" The vegetable vendor quickly stood up and handed her a pile of tissues. Shen Qian casually wiped her face, waved her hand, and ran into the rain

As Shen Qian took her first step, raindrops the size of marbles began to fall. At first, the rain came down slowly. Shen Qian fumbled through her backpack in search of her floral umbrella, but the backpack was so small that she could not find any trace of it. She paused for a moment, recalling that she had left the umbrella directly on her chair at work this afternoon, without putting it away in her backpack. Shen Qian felt a wave of helplessness; she was such a scatterbrain, and now she was in trouble.

Shen Qian was completely deflated; when would she be able to change her habit of being so forgetful? Shen Qian apologized sincerely, saying: "I’m sorry, I will go back right away"

Well... I am in great health, and others call me Iron Man.

The man tilted his head and gazed at Shen Qian's silhouette, smiled helplessly, returned to the car, and continued to wait for the red light

You have injured your hand; do you think you can wear it? Moreover, I cannot see with my eyes, so I will not take advantage of you

"Come in." Shen Qian closed the game, tucked her phone into her white coat, and stood up. Upon seeing Li Meili enter, Shen Qian immediately frowned, "What wind has blown you today? Why are you being so polite?"

Shen Qian had not yet thought about the next step when the rain began to pour down heavily. The raindrops were so large and fell so quickly that it felt as if someone had splashed a bucket of water on her. Her head and hair were completely soaked, and parts of her clothing were also wet.

"What bad luck." Shen Qian thought about running to the vegetable market, but the distance between the market and the bus stop was quite far. Throughout the journey, Shen Qian could be said to have taken a shower, which shows just how much the heavens favored her

You Ran grasped Shen Qian's arm, inadvertently gripping her injured right hand. She inhaled sharply, but in order not to worry him, she refrained from expressing her pain. However, how could someone as perceptive as You Ran not notice? A hint of displeasure appeared on his face, "What happened?"

Hehe, it's not that I'm afraid you won't be able to find me after work and get anxious

Iron will oxidize when exposed to water for an extended period of time

"Being this wet all over, do you really expect them to dry naturally?" You Ran surprisingly carried her into the house with great agility and took her upstairs. At that moment, Shen Qian did not pay attention to this detail; she was merely contemplating how to politely decline You Ran's kind gesture.

Shen Qianshan casually glanced at the wall clock; there was still more than half an hour until the end of the workday. She then sat quietly at her desk, reading some books on vaccines

Ah, please. "Sister has always maintained a lady-like demeanor, okay?" Li Meili tossed her hair.

Are you trying to make a rusty iron diamond?

Shen Qian was momentarily stunned; this was the first time she had heard him call her Qian Qian, so clearly addressing her

Knock knock. Someone is politely knocking on the door

Shen Qian had just wanted to cross the road, but unfortunately it was a red light. With a helpless expression, she told herself that it was fine to wait a little longer. Finally, when the light turned green, she had barely crossed the road when a Maybach suddenly sped towards her, catching Shen Qian by surprise. She bent down to retreat, but it was too sudden, and she fell to the ground. Fortunately, the car managed to brake in time, stopping just half a meter away from her. Shen Qian had slightly sprained her wrist, and any movement caused her excruciating pain. She had no choice but to use her left hand to pick up the scattered bags, get back up, and continue crossing the road.

You Ran nodded, "Miss Shen, please guide me on how to take it off."

Ah?
