full-time lovers

Chapter 88
After thinking about it, she felt uncomfortable wearing the same ring as other couples, and she would rather not have it.

She left the jewelry store without waiting for the salesperson to introduce other styles of couple rings to her.

After returning home with the materials for making chocolate, she put down the things and knocked on the door of Ji Zebei's house.

When Ji Zebei came to open the door, half of the gauze on his hand was removed. Seeing that it was her, he said calmly, "You came just in time, help me change the dressing."

"Oh."

She walked quickly into the room, saw the medicine box on the coffee table, and followed Ji Zebei.

The man sat down on the sofa, pulled her aside, motioned for the medicine that had been taken out of the medicine box and placed on the table, and said, "Just use this."

Lu Ran was fairly skilled at changing the dressing. He saw a wound on the back of the man's hand that had received four stitches, and he was very careful when cleaning the wound.

When she was taking the medicine later, she saw Ji Zebei frowned slightly, and hurriedly asked, "Does it hurt?"

"A little."

It seems to be in pain?

However, it could not be ruled out that he pretended to be normal on purpose, she gritted her teeth secretly, and deliberately poked his affected area more forcefully with cotton wool.

The man hissed and stared at her with wide eyes.

"Does it hurt?"

Ji Zebei: "Nonsense!"

It seemed to be in real pain, not pretending.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it just now."

Ji Zebei: ...

when he was blind?

He had seen her deliberately poke his hand with cotton wool.

After changing the medicine, she bandaged the affected area with gauze, packed the medicine box, and asked him pretending to be calm, "Have you had any accidents before, or have you had any surgery?"

The man lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "Why do you ask this?"

"Just ask."

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"No."

Lu Ran was puzzled. There was no accident or surgery, so it can be ruled out that he lost his sense of taste and part of his sense of pain because of an accident or surgery that damaged his nerves.

"Did you not feel spicy when you ate chili before?"

The man looked at her with strange eyes, and did not respond for a long time.

She laughed bitterly, "The last time we ate barbecue, you didn't seem to find the green chili spicy at all, but the green chili at that shop was actually very spicy."

Ji Zebei remained silent, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic, before she could continue, he changed the subject and said, "I want porridge for dinner."

"Okay, I'll go get ready."

"I have something to go out." The man got up and walked straight towards the entrance.

He took off the coat from the coat rack, put it on, and wrapped the scarf around him. While changing his shoes, he said to Lu Ran, "I don't have the key with me. You can open the door for me later."

Lu Ran nodded heavily, watched the man go out, then turned and walked into the kitchen.

She searched some ways to make nourishing porridge from her mobile phone, and she picked out the ingredients she needed from the refrigerator and started to prepare.

On the other side, Ji Zebei drove to the shopping mall, parked the car in the underground parking lot, took the elevator upstairs, and went straight to a jewelry store.

I found the salesperson who had served him before, and before he could speak, the salesperson took out a pair of platinum phase rings from the glass showcase.

"Sir, do you need to help you pack the zodiac ring you ordered?"

"Ah."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."

Ji Zebei sat down on the sofa beside him, and a staff member poured him a glass of water.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the salesperson handed him the wrapped gift box. The box was light blue and the size of an adult's palm.

Leaving the jewelry store with the gift box, he intended to take the elevator and leave directly, but while waiting for the elevator, he looked down at the gift box in his hand, and suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry.

Why did he go to such lengths to prepare couple rings?

Although Lu Ran's birthday is only a few days away, he can give any gift he wants, so why did he order a zodiac couple ring?
The elevator arrived, the door opened, and several people next to it walked in one after another.

He hesitated for a while, until the elevator door closed, then turned around and walked back to the center of the business circle, strolled casually, and saw a pink Peppa pig doll in the children's toy area, which was as big as a sofa pillow, and stopped without thinking. A sentence that Ji Zichen once said suddenly flashed in my mind-Sister Lu Ran likes Peggy Pig very much. If you want to give her a small gift, Peggy Pig is the perfect gift. It is best to pack the pigs as a family of four.

There were indeed four pigs on the shelf, all looking alike, with heads shaped like hair dryers.

He couldn't figure out why Lu Ran liked such a deformed pig, it was obviously not cute at all.

He asked the salesperson to pack the pigs for the family of four, and he went to the cashier to pay the bill, planning to send the pigs to the family of four for Lu Ran's birthday.

He went to the parking lot with big bags and small bags, put the things in the back seat, and drove back.

After the car drove into the apartment, he subconsciously carried the gift and walked towards the elevator. Thinking that he didn't bring the key, Lu Ran was responsible for opening the door for him, so he turned back and put the gift back in the car.

Since it was a birthday present, it was natural to wait until her birthday to give it to her, and let her see it in advance, so it would not be considered a surprise.

He went upstairs empty-handed, and when he reached his door, he rang the doorbell.

Lu Ran quickly came to open the door.

"Mr. Ji, the porridge is almost ready."

He gave a faint 'um', went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and waited patiently for dinner.

"Mr. Ji, where have you been?" Lu Ran asked casually.

Without thinking about it, he lied, "I went to the store to deal with some things."

"Oh."

Lu Ran went into the kitchen and took a look at the porridge in the pot. It seemed that it was almost done. She filled two bowls and brought out two side dishes that she specially prepared.

While eating, the man suddenly said, "Is your birthday coming soon?"

She was shocked, "How do you know?"

"When you were young, you had a birthday party at home. I remember it was December 12st, right?"

"Yes."

How flattered!

He still remembers things so clearly when he was a child.

"How are you going to spend your birthday?"

She laughed, "I go home every birthday, and my parents give it to me. This year should be no exception."

The man's eyes were slightly opened, with a hint of surprise on his expression, "You're so old, why do you want your parents to celebrate your birthday?"

"It's them who want to celebrate my birthday. I don't really care about these things myself."

"So you will go back to Binshi on your birthday?"

"Of course, New Year's Day is the day after your birthday. You're going home anyway. Don't you go home on New Year's Day?"

A very common question, but made the man's complexion slightly dark.

Sensing that Ji Zebei's expression was not right, Lu Ran panicked.

What did she say wrong again?

Isn't it normal to go home on New Year's Day and have a reunion with your family?

There seems to be no problem.

After a while, Ji Zebei replied flatly: "I won't go back on New Year's Day."

"It's so close, why don't you go home?"
