When Lin Yiran came back, Su Yu had already figured out how to divide the medicine.
These five boxes of medicine, each with two plates, only have 6 pills per plate, for a total of 60 pills. Su Yu wants the majority, so she takes two boxes. Lin Yiran, Li Zhun, and Gu Meng will share two boxes, with 8 pills each. The last box of medicine will be divided between Qiu Qin and Bai Shang, with 6 pills each.
Su Yu thought for a moment and added, "I have a way to keep the medicine well. You can leave it with me for the time being if you trust me."
The special medicine is different from ordinary medicine and is very rare. It can not only save lives but also have great value in the later stage to go to the Jingshi Base. Therefore, in order to thank them for their trust and support, she can help them keep the medicine in her space. It will not expire in her space.
Lin Yiran immediately gave her the medicine, and Gu Meng also handed it to her, adding, "Thank you for the trouble."
Li Zhun, Bai Shang, and Qiu Qin saw that Lin Yiran had given the medicine to Su Yu, so they didn't hesitate to give it to her either.
Su Yu packed all the medicine and prepared to put it in the space later.
Bai Shang and the others asked a few questions about the situation, and Li Zhun was straightforward and exposed Shen Shasha's true intentions. "In fact, that girl is coming for the boss. You don't know how attentive she was when we were installing the door. She would offer drinks and towels from time to time."
Bai Shang nodded, "I can see that."
Qiu Qin also nodded in agreement.
Gu Meng bit her lip, glanced at Lin Yiran who had no expression changes, and quickly looked away.
Hearing this, Su Yu was actually oblivious. She didn't care. Looking at the stove, her mind was thinking about how to find an excuse to go out and get some sweet potatoes from her space. Maybe she could find an opportunity to take some sweet potatoes out from someone's cellar and pass them off as her own.
Lin Yiran had been observing Su Yu silently, and when he saw that she was staring at the stove in a daze, with no reaction, he felt a little uncomfortable. So, his reply was rather cold.
"Don't worry about her. Anyway, we have settled the account."
Li Zhun "squeezed" and thought to himself, "The boss is as cold and ruthless as always towards girls."
After the few of them finished talking, they each went back to their rooms. When Su Yu lay in bed, she couldn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about how to find an excuse to bring the sweet potatoes into the open.
But Gu Meng on the side suddenly asked her, "Su Yu, do you...have someone you care about?"
Su Yu didn't even think about it and replied, "No."
Gu Meng was strangely quiet for a moment, then sighed, "I just found out today that I have a crush on a boy, but...he doesn't care about me..."
Su Yu's eyes lit up.
The heroine has finally come to her senses and realized that she likes the male lead! However, why would she think that the male lead doesn't care about her? Su Yu thought about the interaction between the two during this period of time and realized that they rarely interacted, let alone spent time alone. Instead, it was her who had been interacting more frequently with Lin Yiran!
Su Yu had an uneasy feeling that the story was out of control. She quickly comforted Gu Meng, "You didn't ask, how would you know that the other person doesn't like you? Besides, like is something that needs to be cultivated. You can just...talk to him more, spend more time together, and the relationship will naturally improve..."
Probably, right? The two of them developed a relationship over time in the novel.
Gu Meng listened to this, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but closed it again and didn't continue.
"Go to sleep..."
Su Yu couldn't sleep either.
Now that she thinks about it, in the novel, the two of them have already developed some ambiguity, but now there is only one unrequited love. What's going on? Where did it go wrong?
Yes, it's Lin Yiran. He doesn't take the initiative to approach Gu Meng and instead keeps coming to her. Could it be that Lin Yiran...
Suddenly, a ridiculous thought flashed through Su Yu's mind, and she shivered, quickly shaking her head to deny it.
It's impossible! How could that be?! It's just that Lin Yiran is interested in her space, nothing else!
On the other side.
Lin Yiran couldn't sleep either. He kept thinking about how the girl didn't care at all, as if looking at them like people from another world, distant and cold. She was always so immersed in her own world, looking at them as if looking at someone from another world. She was aloof and indifferent. And yet, he wanted her to smile at him, to have him in her eyes, and to be closer to him...
Why? Why only Su Yu?
Suddenly, a word popped into Lin Yiran's mind: like.
But, could this feeling be called like?
Thinking about this, Lin Yiran asked Bai Shang, who was lying next to him, "Bai Shang, are you asleep?"
Bai Shang replied, "Not yet."
"I have a question," he said with some difficulty. "If I hate a girl for ignoring me, being on guard against me, and instead wanting her to smile at me, to have me in her eyes, and to be closer to me, is this...like?"
Bai Shang was shocked and couldn't speak for a moment.
He could feel that Lin Yiran was different towards Su Yu, but he never expected Lin Yiran to actually have such thoughts towards Su Yu!
He decided to guide his buddy's love view in the right and healthy direction.
"This kind of feeling contains elements of like, but more of it is just possessiveness. Liking someone means wanting to be good to them, making them happy, rather than owning that person and taking away their freedom and self."
In the end, Bai Shang warned him, "This sentence, you can't tell others, especially that girl."
He didn't directly expose that Su Yu was the person in question, as Lin Yiran obviously didn't intend for the protagonist to be Su Yu. He just pretended not to know.
Lin Yiran's eyes moved in the darkness, and he seemed puzzled as he muttered, "Possessiveness?"
Bai Shang advised again, "If you like her, you must be good to her and take it slow. You must not take the wrong path, or you will scare her away."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Lin Yiran was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly, "I know."
"Go to sleep."
Bai Shang was exhausted mentally and soon fell asleep. Lin Yiran, on the other hand, was thinking about how to be "slow and steady"...
