Financial success and romantic happiness

Lin Chuan naturally noticed the displeasure on Qin Rou's face, so he slowly walked towards her, wanting to show her some concern.

But Qin Rou quickly grabbed her phone and strode into the bedroom, so Lin Chuan couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

But his curiosity still drove Lin Chuan to cautiously approach Qin Rou's bedroom door, where he vaguely heard Qin Rou coldly say, "I told you, I haven't been feeling well lately. What does that have to do with Xiao Chuan?"

"What exactly do you mean?"

"Wu Guohua, you are not qualified to say such things to me."

Lin Chuan listened while remaining remarkably calm.

Clearly, Wu Guohua was here to cause trouble again, but obviously, he didn't have much of an advantage over Qin Rou.

Lin Chuan was only prepared to listen and observe before making a decision; he wouldn't rashly get involved because he felt Qin Rou could handle it well.

After listening for a while, Lin Chuan didn't want to listen anymore, so he walked over and sat down on the sofa. A moment later, Qin Rou came out of the bedroom, and Lin Chuan looked at her seriously and said, "Sister-in-law, although there are some things I shouldn't ask, was that man just now...?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Rou calmly smiled and said, "It's alright, Xiao Chuan, these are all trivial matters to me."

Lin Chuan tentatively said, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine with work now. Actually, if we were to move out..."

Lin Chuan also felt that it was indeed inappropriate for a single man and woman to live together. Now that he had a job and the means to do so, he made this request to give Qin Rou a way out.

Upon hearing this, Qin Rou felt that Lin Chuan was overthinking things, and deliberately said angrily, "Xiao Chuan, what do you mean? What? You found a job, so you want to kick your cousin's wife to the curb, is that it?"

Lin Chuan quickly said, "No, sister-in-law, I absolutely didn't mean that. I just felt..."

Qin Rou covered her mouth and laughed: "I was just kidding with you. You're staying here with me, don't go anywhere. If you left, I'd feel sad living alone in this empty house."

Seeing this, Lin Chuan didn't say anything more. He had made that request because he was afraid Qin Rou would be embarrassed to bring it up, so he took the initiative to bring it up.

But now that Qin Rou doesn't want him to move out, he'll just stay. Anyway, he doesn't want to move out either.

Soon, it was midnight. Lin Chuan was probably excited because he had a job lined up, so he had trouble sleeping for a while.

Qin Rou, probably because she was tired after a long day, fell asleep early.

Just as Lin Chuan was feeling a bit helpless about not being able to fall asleep, Qin Rou unexpectedly sat up again, first reaching into her clothes to scratch her chest, and then scratching her back, looking like she was in a lot of pain.

Lin Chuan originally wanted to pretend he was asleep and act as if he knew nothing.

However, seeing that Qin Rou was getting more and more uncomfortable from scratching, Lin Chuan realized something was wrong, so he sat up and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Qin Rou had just suddenly felt a pain and itchiness in her back and chest, so she scratched them. She didn't expect Lin Chuan to suddenly ask her, and couldn't help but look at Lin Chuan in surprise, saying, "Xiao Chuan, what's wrong with you? You're still awake?"

Lin Chuan said, "I just took a nap, but I woke up when I heard some noise."

Lin Chuan didn't want to tell Qin Rou about his insomnia, lest it cause further misunderstandings.

Qin Rou said, "Oh dear, I don't know why, but I'm so itchy. Could you turn on the light and take a look at what's wrong?"

Lin Chuan nodded hurriedly, knowing that he had considerable medical skills. He quickly went to the wall to turn on the light. When he turned his head, he saw that Qin Rou had lifted her clothes and was facing away from him. Her fair back was naturally presented to him without reservation.

Lin Chuan's heart started racing.

Unexpectedly, his cousin's wife lifted her clothes right in front of him.

But soon, Lin Chuan's thoughts were diverted by the three red and swollen spots on Qin Rou's back. He stopped thinking about those inappropriate images and instead looked carefully at the red and swollen spots on Qin Rou's back, which were clearly symptoms of being bitten by a small insect called a rove beetle.

Lin Chuan used to see those little insects often in the countryside, but he had never seen them since coming to the city. Qin Rou's house was in an old neighborhood with dense trees and old buildings, so Lin Chuan guessed that this might be the reason for the appearance of rove beetles.

If you are bitten by a rove beetle, you must treat it properly, otherwise it will be very painful!

Lin Chuan hadn't expected something like this to happen so late at night, but he quickly calmed down and said without any pressure about such a minor issue, "Sister-in-law, you were bitten on the back by a rove beetle. Is it painful and itchy now?"

Qin Rou immediately said, "Yes, it feels so bad!"

Lin Chuan said, "It's nothing, it's not a big problem. I'll take care of it for you."

Qin Rou couldn't help but say, her voice filled with frustration, "But there are still two red, swollen patches on my chest!"

Lin Chuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

The back is easy to deal with, but the chest...?

Lin Chuan was momentarily lost in thought, but he quickly decided to take it one step at a time. He said to Qin Rou, "Sister-in-law, let's treat it slowly. These kinds of bites are easy to treat. First, rinse it with clean water, then apply aloe vera gel or dermatitis ointment. Make sure the medicine stays on the skin for five minutes. Don't wear clothes during this time so the medicine can be fully absorbed. It will get better gradually."

Qin Rou said helplessly, "Okay, but Xiao Chuan, you have to help me with this. I can't reach my back by myself."

"certainly."

Lin Chuan nodded hurriedly, after all, he had originally planned to handle it for Qin Rou.

Ten minutes later, Lin Chuan finished treating the redness and swelling on Qin Rou's back. Unexpectedly, Qin Rou suddenly turned around, unbuttoned the four buttons of her pajamas, and exposed the bite marks on her chest. She said, "Xiao Chuan, could you help me treat the front too? It looks quite troublesome. I definitely can't handle it well, and your technique seems quite professional."

Lin Chuan's technique was certainly professional; after all, he had formally learned it from his grandfather.

But now we need to treat the bites from before?

Lin Chuan felt both nervous and helpless.

Fortunately, the swelling was just below the collarbone, making it easy to treat. Lin Chuan relaxed a bit, let out a breath, and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go change the water now."

Qin Rou nodded: "Okay, go quickly, I feel terrible."

Lin Chuan said, "Okay, right away."

Lin Chuan quickly went to the kitchen and fetched half a basin of fresh water, then gently wiped the bite area with a towel.

After wiping, Lin Chuan carefully applied aloe vera gel to the bitten area.

Lin Chuan waited until the aloe vera gel had been on his skin for five minutes before saying, "Sister-in-law, button up your clothes. Don't sleep in your bed tonight. Apply some medicine, close the door, and let the medicine stay in the room overnight to kill all the rove beetles."

Qin Rou said, "Alright then, I'll sleep on the floor too, and we'll sleep in the living room together."

Lin Chuan nodded without saying anything, but in his heart he was thinking that he was sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor in the living room with his cousin-in-law. He hoped that nothing bad would happen when he woke up.

Afterwards, Lin Chuan sprayed insecticide in Qin Rou's bedroom, and then Qin Rou laid a mat on the living room floor next to Lin Chuan's sleeping mat.

It was already very late at night.

At this moment, the gentle breeze blowing in from the balcony carried Qin Rou's fragrance into Lin Chuan's nostrils.

Lin Chuan could see Qin Rou with her back to him, her beautiful S-shaped curve right in front of him.

He felt a little helpless; now that he was sleeping on the floor with his cousin's wife, it seemed like he couldn't sleep at all.

After a while of lost in thought, Lin Chuan forced himself to go to sleep.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Chuan fell asleep. But after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt something pressing down on him. He groggily opened his eyes and saw that Qin Rou's legs were pressing down on him. Moreover, she was sleeping soundly and was obviously unaware of this.
