Chapter 52 3 years and 0180 months
Xu Wanru smiled and patted Su Peixue's head, watching the car start and slowly drive out of the residential area.
I feel a sense of emptiness in my heart. My beloved son, whom I raised for 18 years, has left and gone to a place hundreds of kilometers away.
Many people think that they can spend a lot of time with their family throughout their lives, but in reality, once they enter university, they spend less and less time with their parents each year.
Perhaps the 18 years before adulthood are spent more with parents than the rest of one's life.
Old Lin, who hadn't shown up until now, watched the car drive out of the community from his balcony window and sighed with relief. At this moment, his son was a man too.
Su Peixue saw Xu Wanru still standing downstairs in the rearview mirror.
She looked down and sent a message to Xu Wanru.
"Auntie, we're leaving the residential area."
Xu Wanru replied instantly. "Okay."
Twenty minutes later.
"Auntie, we're on the highway."
"it is good."
Another ten minutes passed.
"Auntie, there's a tunnel ahead."
"Okay. Tell Lin Ran to drive without looking at her phone."
Su Peixue turned to look at Lin Ran. "Auntie told you not to look at your phone while driving."
Lin Ran kept his eyes fixed ahead. "We're driving on the highway, and you're still looking at your phone? Do you think you're playing QQ Speed?"
Su Peixue continued to send messages to Xu Wanru.
Tunnels, service areas, road signs, clouds in the sky. Post whatever you see.
Xu Wanru replied to every message, sometimes saying "okay", sometimes "I know", and sometimes an emoji, a lotus flower with "safe journey" written on it.
After driving for an hour, Su Peixue sent more than ten messages. Her phone was almost out of battery, so she rummaged through the glove compartment for a charging cable and plugged it in.
"Won't my aunt find me annoying?"
"Won't."
How did you know?
"She replies to you faster than she replies to me."
Su Peixue scrolled through Lin Ran's phone. The screen showed his chat history with Xu Wanru. The last message was, "On the highway," which Xu Wanru hadn't replied to. The previous message was, "Departed," which she also didn't reply to.
As she scrolled up further, Su Peixue couldn't hold back anymore.
There are only two sentences every day.
Son, remember to throw away the trash by the door.
【OK. 】
Son, throw the trash by the door.
【it is good. 】
[My son is trash]
【? ? ? 】
Su Peixue chuckled.
I peeled a tea egg, and there was a small piece of tea stuck to the egg white.
She removed the tea leaves and offered them to Lin Ran's lips.
"Reverse feeding from pet Xuexue~"
Lin Ran took a bite; the yolk was still warm.
"You eat it yourself."
"Okay."
Su Peixue stuffed the remaining egg white into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out, and then took another one from the bag and began to peel it.
It was 8:30 when the car pulled into the service area. The sun was already fully up, shining brightly on the parking lot. Lin Ran turned off the engine, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes for a while. Su Peixue peeled an orange and placed it beside him, neatly arranging the segments one by one.
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Xu Wanru.
"Auntie, we've arrived at the service area. Lin Ran is resting."
Xu Wanru replied with an emoji. It was still that lotus flower. Then she added a line of text.
【You two can sleep together for a while.】
???
Su Peixue's pretty face was rosy pink.
Although I know that's not what my aunt meant...
Su Peixue replied with an "okay". She put down her phone, leaned back in the passenger seat, and turned her head to look at Lin Ran's profile.
The morning light shone on his tousled hair, the dappled light stirring the girl's emotions.
She watched for a while, then closed her eyes.
We stopped at the service area for more than half an hour.
Lin Ran adjusted his seat back, while Su Peixue held a glass of sea salt soda and sipped it happily.
The salty-sweet bubbles burst in the girl's mouth, making her squint her eyes slightly.
Then he handed the straw to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran took it and drank a sip.
"Let's go."
After getting on the highway, there were more cars.
At the end of August, cars were heading towards Anhui Province one after another.
Lin Ran kept the car speed steady at 100 km/h.
It took about an hour to drive there.
At that moment, a female voice came from the navigation.
Traffic is slow in the next 10 kilometers; estimated travel time is one hour.
Su Peixue looked down at the empty soda bottle in her hand.
Suddenly I had a bad feeling.
The traffic jam was ten kilometers away. The navigation said the traffic was slow, but in reality, it was completely stationary.
All three lanes were completely jammed. The cars ahead had stalled, and someone got out and stood on the roadside smoking. Further ahead, a large truck was leaning to one side, blocking two lanes, with several smaller cars squeezed together beside it. The ambulance had arrived, its red and blue lights flashing through the gaps in the traffic.
Su Peixue sat in the passenger seat, her legs together and her hands on her knees.
Five minutes later, she changed her position.
Five minutes later, she changed her position again.
"The zookeeper..."
"Um?"
"Xuexue can't hold it in any longer..."
Su Peixue pursed her cherry lips and spoke with a slight tremor.
Lin Ran glanced at the girl in the passenger seat with a furrowed brow, looked at the motionless traffic ahead, and then at the guardrail beside him.
They were parked in the far left lane, with a concrete guardrail on the left and a white SUV on the right. The area outside the guardrail was suspended in mid-air.
That means we can only solve it on the highway.
"I'll open the front and rear doors to cover you up, and you can take care of it in the middle."
It has doors at the front and back, and concrete guardrails on the sides. This is usually how it's handled when there's a traffic jam on the highway.
"No way!"
Su Peixue's voice was very low, her legs were squeezed even tighter, her hands were twisted together, and the blush on her face spread from her cheeks to her ears.
"My little darling..."
Lin Ran was helpless.
Suddenly, I saw the door of the white SUV next to me open, and a chubby middle-aged man got out of the driver's seat, went around to the back seat, and opened the door.
A chubby little boy in a diaper sat in the back seat, his arms all bunched up. The boy was crying, his face flushed red. The chubby man pulled a diaper from his diaper bag, then a pack of wet wipes, and began to change the boy.
Lin Ran got out of the car and walked over.
"elder brother."
The chubby man wearing glasses looked up; the collar of his T-shirt was soaked with sweat.
Do you have any extra diapers? Large size.
The fat man looked down at the piece he was removing, then at Lin Ran, and then at the car behind Lin Ran. The passenger side window was tinted, so he couldn't see inside, but he could see that the door was ajar.
"Did your kid also wet the bed because of a blocked diaper?"
"……right."
The fat man smiled.
That "I understand" smile, he pulled a new XXL diaper out of his diaper bag.
"Here you go. How old is your child?"
"Three years old."
180 months.
Lin Ran took it.
"Brother, how much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
"Why would you sell a single diaper? Take it and use it."
The fat man waved his hand.
"My child is also three years old. He just learned to use the toilet by himself and doesn't want to wear diapers anymore. As a result, he can't hold it in when there's a traffic jam. We still have to have some on hand."
"Thanks, brother."
Lin Ran took the diapers and walked back to her car.
He knocked on the passenger window.
The car window rolled down a crack, and Lin Ran slipped a diaper through the crack.
Su Peixue's pink face was partially revealed, her innocent and pitiful eyes looking at Lin Ran.
