Chapter 15 : Can the space spring water turn white?

Hearing this, Su Ranran’s heart skipped a beat! She felt there must be something else in his words. But what exactly was it…?

Before she could think more, the water in the pot boiled.

Shen He immediately added hot water to the bucket where she had just dripped the spring water and carried the water to the shower room.

“You can take a shower.”

Su Ranran:…

The atmosphere had already been set to this point, so it seemed unreasonable for her not to take a shower, right?

Fortunately, it was already three o’clock.

She just told herself it would be an early shower for the evening.

Su Ranran comforted herself this way and didn’t refuse anymore. She found a new set of clothes and went to the shower room. To avoid embarrassment later, she checked several times to make sure her underwear was there before heading into the shower room.

She didn’t know what had happened. It was obviously very hot, and they had been running back and forth from the county, but she didn’t smell of sweat.

In fact, the faint scent on her body had only intensified due to some sweat, making her fragrance even more pronounced. It was a strange physique, one she hadn’t had in her previous life.

Could it be because of the space?

Thinking of this, Su Ranran raised her left hand again. Not sure if it was an illusion, but the mole seemed to have formed a faint flower-like shape.

However, when she looked closely, it turned back into a small, bright red mole.

What was going on?

Su Ranran felt very strange, but since no one could explain it, she could only figure it out slowly.

Being alone in the shower room, she couldn’t help but fiddle with the space again. But she didn’t dare to enter directly, fearing Shen He would find out. As soon as her consciousness entered the space, Su Ranran was shocked!

A lotus-like building had appeared on the open space to the left at some point. The building was light white, and it shone as though made of jade.

Su Ranran suddenly remembered her jade.

After a pause, she extended her consciousness toward the lotus-shaped building. But as soon as she approached, it seemed to be blocked by some kind of barrier.

Although she couldn’t enter, it seemed she could still sense what was inside?

Thinking of this, Su Ranran concentrated on exploring the lotus building again. But the next second, something that appeared in her sight made her eyes widen!

Wasn’t this the warehouse she dreamed about at noon?

She couldn’t forget the disaster scene that seemed to have been robbed.

Her jade… was it a warehouse?

No wonder every time she faced Li Xueqiu in her previous life, she always felt some kind of bond with her. It turned out to be such a bond. But… how to open this warehouse?

Suddenly, Su Ranran remembered the scene from her dream, where Li Xueqiu’s blood had dripped onto the lotus jade, which opened the space.

She couldn’t open the warehouse now. Could it be because the jade was still tied to her?

Then, could she re-recognize the master by dripping blood onto it?

Su Ranran was lost in thought when suddenly, Shen He’s voice called out from outside.

“Ranran?”

Seeing that she hadn’t moved for a while, Shen He called out, his tone full of concern. Hearing his voice, Su Ranran suddenly realized how much time had passed.

“I’m fine, I’ll be done soon.”

After responding, she didn’t dare to continue fiddling with the warehouse but instead focused on taking her bath seriously. She wasn’t sure if it was just a psychological effect, but after the bath, she felt like she was a little whiter… maybe just a little?

Su Ranran had been working in the countryside for over a year. Although she couldn’t do heavy work, she still had to go to the fields every day. Even though she was born with fair skin, the continuous, high-intensity work had made her a little darker.

Now, after the bath, it felt like she had just taken a milk bath. Her whole body felt moisturized, and her skin seemed to have lost a bit of melanin.

She hadn’t expected the water to have such a strong effect, and Su Ranran was shocked. But she couldn’t bathe like this every day, it would be troublesome if people noticed something unusual.

Su Ranran now felt like someone with a treasure mountain, yet still bound by limitations.

Meanwhile, Li Xueqiu, who had been deceived by Su Ranran, was indeed released, just as Shen He had said.

It was almost dark by this time. The two dusty individuals found their bicycles and rode them toward the Shuiqiao Brigade.

Li Xueqiu’s makeup had worn off, her hair was disheveled, and she looked like a defeated rooster, losing her previous brilliance.

Yu Zhengjun wasn’t much better. Due to protecting Li Xueqiu, his face and body were scratched all over, and the buttons of his clothes had been torn off.

Even so, they hadn’t fully cleared their suspicions.

It was only because Li Xueqiu knew a “big shot” that they had been bailed out.

Li Xueqiu, sitting on the back of the bicycle, had a twisted expression on her face. The necklace around her neck had been taken as stolen goods, and whether she could get it back depended on the outcome of the investigation. But she had taken the necklace from her space, how could she explain that?

Thinking about her space, Li Xueqiu suddenly froze again.

“Where is my jade?!”

Li Xueqiu’s voice suddenly became extremely sharp, and Yu Zhengjun, who was in front, nearly lost control of the bicycle!

“Which jade?” he asked, confused.

She had so many pieces of jade that Yu Zhengjun couldn’t even remember which one she had brought out today.

“My jade! My jade! Turn around! Hurry up!” Li Xueqiu was in a panic, as if the sky itself was about to fall.

“Okay, don’t worry, I’ll take you to find it.” Seeing how frantic she was, Yu Zhengjun turned the bike around without thinking that it was almost dark.

“Hurry up! Hurry!” Li Xueqiu urged, losing her mind, wishing she could fly back to the county town.

While hitting Yu Zhengjun’s back, she urged him on.

Yu Zhengjun, already exhausted both physically and mentally, was being beaten so hard that he had to grit his teeth and speed up. But the speed of the bicycle was limited, and no matter how much Yu Zhengjun pushed himself, he couldn’t meet Li Xueqiu’s demands.

“Worthless! You’re useless, what good are you to me?”

With the space jade pendant gone, Li Xueqiu had completely lost it. She kept hitting Yu Zhengjun and cursing him viciously.

But these words hit Yu Zhengjun hard. He remembered how she often called him a coward and said he wasn’t as good as other men, and with the unnecessary disaster she had caused today, Yu Zhengjun was immediately filled with anger.

With a sharp “hiss,” the bicycle came to a stop!

“Why did you stop? Why did you stop? Hurry up and ride!” Li Xueqiu didn’t expect him to stop at this critical moment.

She was so anxious that she grabbed him desperately.

Her unrestrained force immediately left several bloody marks on Yu Zhengjun’s body. But Yu Zhengjun seemed indifferent. He got off the bicycle, ignoring Li Xueqiu’s frantic pleas.

“Where are you going?” Seeing him get off, Li Xueqiu became both angry and panicked. She quickly jumped off and grabbed him, “Come back and take me to the county town.”

Looking at her crazed and resentful face, Yu Zhengjun suddenly felt that the person before him seemed unfamiliar. He remembered her kindness and gentleness when they were first together, and her coldness after meeting the “big shot.” His heart sank.

“Li Xueqiu, what do you think of me?”

Sometimes Yu Zhengjun couldn’t figure it out.

She would say she didn’t like him, but she sent him food every day and touched him often. He almost lost control several times. But if she said she liked him, she refused to marry him and would laugh and talk with other men occasionally.

Over the past year, Yu Zhengjun had felt like he was being burned in both fire and water, cold and hot, uncomfortable.

Just like now, for the sake of a piece of jade, she degraded herself to the dust.

He had ridden as fast as he could, but still couldn’t meet her demands.

But at this moment, Li Xueqiu was completely terrified of losing the space, so how could she care about the man’s feelings in front of her?

“Are you even a man? Don’t you understand when I tell you to take me to the county town?”

She said as she pulled his hand toward the bicycle. But how could she, a woman, resist the strength of a big man?

“If you want to go, go by yourself!”

This sentence, questioning his masculinity, completely crossed Yu Zhengjun’s line. The image of his stepmother harshly scolding his father flashed in his mind. He coldly pushed her hand away and turned to leave.

Seeing him actually leave her and run away, Li Xueqiu was dumbfounded.

After coming to her senses, she yelled at him, “You dare to leave? If you leave, I’ll immediately send someone to your house to cancel the engagement!”

But hearing this, Yu Zhengjun walked away even more resolutely.
