Chapter 171: Relief Supplies
With her mind filled with Long Yu and his shocking confession, Yao Ran forgot that she needed to replace the heater for Yao Yuechuan and send him food and water.
While Yao Ran was in a daze, Yao Yuechuan was shivering with cold and starving. He hugged himself and kept looking at the door.
"When will Miss Yao come? It's so cold. Achoo!"
Early the next morning, Yao Ran got up and went to the space to take a shower and have breakfast.
After Long Yu confessed to her yesterday, Yao Ran didn't sleep all night. When she woke up, she had faint dark circles under her eyes. Although she was very sleepy, she forced herself to open her eyes.
Today, they can go to the neighborhood committee to receive relief supplies distributed by the government. Yao Ran agreed with her friends to get the food and set off at six o'clock to avoid the long queue.
After she had a simple breakfast, Yao Ran carried her backpack and left her apartment.
Seeing her come out, Long Yu walked up to her and smiled, "Ran Ran, good morning."
Looking at his smile, Yao Ran's heart beat faster. She coughed lightly to hide her shyness and said, "Good morning. Where were the others?"
Just as Long Yu was about to answer her question, he saw the faint dark circles under her eyes and frowned.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"You couldn't sleep last night?"
When Yao Ran heard his question, she glared at him and thought, 'Isn't it because of you?'
Being stared at by her like this, Long Yu's heart melted at her cute appearance. He raised his eyebrows and asked with a hint of joy in his voice, "Is it because of me? Did you think of me until you couldn't sleep last night?"
Listening to his shameless questions and looking at his hopeful eyes, Yao Ran's face turned red, and she refused to answer him.
After a moment of silence, Yao Ran glanced at him and asked, "How is your injury? Have you applied any medicine?"
Long Yu nodded, "I'm fine now. Huang Qian helped me apply medicine last night."
The self-healing of most ability users is better than that of ordinary people. So, when Long Yu said he was fine, Yao Ran just nodded and said, "If you need more medicine, remember to tell me."
"Alright."
While they were talking, the door of unit 2001 was opened.
When Shi Xuan and the others walked out, they saw Long Yu and Yao Ran standing very close to each other, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere around them.
Looking at Yao Ran's blushing face, Huang Zhihui couldn't help but lightly nudge Deng Qiqi with her elbow and whisper, "You still don't believe me. Look, they must be dating."
Deng Qiqi was a little skeptical yesterday, but seeing the scene in front of her, she began to believe Huang Zhihui's words. Noticing the others looking at them meaningfully, Yao Ran pushed Long Yu away.
She coughed slightly to cover up her embarrassment and asked, "Shall we leave now?" Jia Xiang smiled, "Yes."
Since they needed to get to the neighborhood committee early, they set off before dawn. Arriving on the 19th floor, Yao Ran went to visit Yao Yuechuan in unit 1903 while others were waiting for the Sima family and Quan Yuanwei.
Because Grandpa Quan and Grandma Quan are old and in poor health, only Quan Yuanwei will go to receive relief supplies today. As for the Sima family, in addition to Sima Yun, there are also his elder brother and sister-in-law.
Walking into the cold living room of unit 1903, Yao Ran saw Yao Yuechuan sitting against the wall, sleeping deeply.
She stood before him and thought, 'He is really something. He can still sleep like a log even when he is locked up.'
After confirming that Yao Yuechuan was still alive, Yao Ran opened her empty backpack. She reached into her backpack and pulled out a portable heater from her space.
She turned on the heater, put away the ones that ran out of power, and then put it back into her space using the backpack as a cover. She then took out a pack of compressed biscuits and a bottle of mineral water.
Putting the compressed biscuits and water on the floor in front of Yao Yuechuan, Yao Ran looked at him for a few seconds before leaving.
When the door closed behind her, Yao Yuechuan opened his eyes. He looked at the portable heater, compressed biscuits, and water for a while, then went back to sleep.
When Yao Ran saw Quan Yuanwei and the others there, she nodded to them, and then the group left together.
The original neighborhood committee is some distance away from the Ling Yuan apartment complex. When they left Building 3, they met many people from other buildings.
Everyone walked to the neighborhood committee location to collect relief supplies, carrying backpacks, suitcases, plastic bags, and sacks. For fear of being robbed, everyone also brought weapons such as sticks and knives.
As they were a distance away from the original neighborhood committee, Yao Ran saw a long queue with no end in sight. But because the soldiers with weapons guarded the area, the people in line were obedient and did not dare to cause trouble.
Joining the line, Long Yu and Yao Ran stood in front of their friends. Shi Xuan, Huang Qian, and Jia Xiang were at the back, and Huang Zhihui, Deng Qiqi, the Sima family, and Quan Yuanwei were protected in the middle.
Looking at the long queue, Sima Yun's sister-in-law, Ruan Ying, became anxious and whispered to her husband, "Husband, will they still have supplies to distribute to us when it's
our turn?"
Sima Hao was also worried that they would not be able to get anything after queuing for a
long time, but he could not express his worries to his wife, so he held Ruan Ying's hand and comforted her in a low voice.
