My Taoist nun girlfriend is from the Republic of China era, 1942.

Chapter 99 Chen Xiaomiao's Second Development
Once the Lantern Festival (January 15th of the lunar calendar) is over, the New Year celebrations are officially over.

Lu Yuan stayed at home, living a carefree life where food was served to him and clothes were put on his plate.

Outside the window, the spring chill lingered, but inside, the air was warm and cozy.

Chen Xiaomiao kept the house spotless and fed Lu Yuan until he was plump and healthy, and even that silly dog ​​Erbaiwu gained weight.

As the winter break draws to a close, the university classmates' group chat is starting to buzz with activity, with discussions about school registration and internships.

For Lu Yuan now, getting an internship certificate is just a matter of making a phone call.

Therefore, the second semester of senior year is equivalent to having an extra six months of vacation.

That afternoon, Lu Yuan slumped on the sofa, scrolling through his phone. Looking at the various internship offers his classmates were posting in the group chat, he let out a long sigh.

It turns out that people shouldn't be too idle, because when they are idle, they tend to overthink.

Chen Xiaomiao leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

Lu Yuan tossed his phone aside: "No, I just feel like if I keep having this much free time, I'll start to rust."

"Rusty?" Chen Xiaomiao didn't understand.

"I just feel unwell all over." Lu Yuan put it another way that she could understand: "I want to go out and find some work."

Chen Xiaomiao stopped what she was doing, tilted her head and looked at him, her face full of confusion.

"What kind of work are you doing? Our family is... pretty well-off now, isn't it?"

In her simple belief, the reason people have to work and suffer is to earn money to eat.

Now that they have no worries about food and clothing, not to mention Lu Yuan, they themselves have a lot of money deposited in the "money shop," so why would they rush to work for others?

"Money is money, and work is work... You have to find something to do, otherwise what's the difference between you and a salted fish?"

Chen Xiaomiao didn't understand, but muttered softly, "Salted fish is so good, it goes well with rice..."

Lu Yuan was speechless, both amused and exasperated. He waved his hand and said, "I can't explain it to you. Anyway... I need to find something to do."

"Have you thought it through yet?"

"No, I was just saying."

"If you haven't thought it through, then don't think about it."

Chen Xiaomiao clapped her hands, adopting the air of a matriarch: "There's still soup simmering in the pot. Go downstairs and bring back our package. We can have dinner right after you get it."

……

The courier station was piled high with packages that had been piling up since the Lunar New Year, like a small mountain.

Lu Yuan gave the last four digits of his mobile phone number, and the innkeeper rummaged through the shelves and found four cardboard boxes of different sizes.

The three boxes were quite heavy, and they were printed with the logo of a well-known kitchenware brand. It was estimated that Chen Xiaomiao had taken a fancy to some new pots and pans.

The last package was very light, about the size of a palm, and the sender's name was Caiyun Women's Clothing.

Hey!?

Lu Yuan looked surprised.

Chen Xiaomiao, that stubborn pig, actually bought clothes online on her own initiative?
When I got home, the aroma of food was already wafting from the kitchen.

"Let me see it quickly."

Chen Xiaomiao put down the spatula in her hand and excitedly found a pair of scissors to open the three kitchen utensil packages.

After tinkering with her new kitchen utensils, she picked up the last small box and quickly opened it.

Inside the packaging bag were three sets of women's underwear, neatly folded.

The designs are all simple and clean, made of pure cotton, and in soft flesh pink and light blue colors.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise: "Wow, Chen Xiaomiao, you're quite something, daring to buy your own underwear online?"

Chen Xiaomiao's cheeks flushed slightly. She hid the things behind her back and whispered, "It wasn't me, it was Sister Song Jia who bought them for me."

"Song Jia? Why would she buy you underwear out of the blue?"

"The last time I tried on my bridesmaid dress... Sister Song Jia saw that it was too tight for me and told me to change into another one, otherwise it wouldn't be good for my health."

Is it too tight?
Lu Yuan's mind stirred slightly.

The underwear Chen Xiaomiao was wearing before was the one I bought with her at the mall when I first found her.

Back then, she was so thin she looked like a bean sprout, as if she would fall over in the wind.

Now that several months have passed, has this girl gone through a second puberty?

Lu Yuan's gaze involuntarily fell on Chen Xiaomiao's chest.

If I keep taking care of myself like this, and then get pregnant again, I'll have to drink some lactation-boosting soup...

Noticing Lu Yuan's "lewd" gaze, Chen Xiaomiao puffed out her cheeks but didn't try to dodge.

These past few days, they've slept in the same bed. Although they haven't actually done anything, Lu Yuan's hands have been restless at night, touching every place he should and shouldn't have. From initial panic, to later shameful protests, and now... to getting used to it.

Since I've already let him touch me, I might as well let him look at me.

"I'll go back inside and try."

Chen Xiaomiao, clutching the new underwear, slammed the door shut.

Completely unaware, the limits she set for Lu Yuan were getting wider and wider...

Not long after, Chen Xiaomiao came out of the room again, and her whole demeanor was noticeably different.

My shoulders relaxed, and I felt a sense of relief.

It seems that the old garment really made her uncomfortable.

"How is it? Does it fit?" Lu Yuan asked casually.

"Yeah, just right."

Chen Xiaomiao nodded and walked to the dining table to set out the bowls and chopsticks.

"If it was so tight, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Chen Xiaomiao paused in her work, then looked up and glared at her.

It's as if they're saying, "Are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending?"

How could I, a virgin, have the nerve to bring up such a thing to a grown man?

"Xiao Miao, I'm being serious with you. From now on, if you feel unwell at all, you must tell me immediately. Don't keep it to yourself."

This isn't about being ashamed; it's about your health.

Lu Yuan spoke seriously, without a trace of joking.

Chen Xiaomiao subconsciously uttered an "oh," but it's unclear whether she actually heard him.

A while ago, Lu Yuan took her to the hospital for a full physical examination.

Blood draws, X-rays, ultrasounds, and all sorts of strange instruments whose names I don't know probed all over her body.

Especially the colonoscopy and gastroscopy...

Now, whenever she passes by the hospital entrance, she feels apprehensive.

That feeling is something I would never want to experience again.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaomiao subconsciously asked, "By the way, Lu Yuan, what were the results of my last physical exam?"

"result?"

Lu Yuan pulled out a chair and sat down, sighing, "Overall, it's better than I expected. Although there are a lot of minor problems, they are all within a controllable range."

Prolonged famine and malnutrition left Chen Xiaomiao with considerable health problems.

Anemia, stomach problems, multiple vitamin deficiencies, low bone density... The dense array of arrows on the report made Lu Yuan's heart tremble with fear.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaomiao's organ functions are still relatively intact, and her foundation has not been completely depleted. Everything can be repaired and regulated through modern medicine.

It's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune; may the Three Pure Ones protect us!

Chen Xiaomiao pouted and muttered to herself, "I feel fine. I can walk and eat. I don't have any of the illnesses you're making up for."

"Whether you are sick or not is not up to you to decide; only the doctor can tell."

Lu Yuan said defiantly, "In short, from now on, if I tell you to drink more milk, you'll drink more milk; if I tell you to take medicine, you'll take it obediently. Report any problems to me immediately, understand?"

"I know..."

Chen Xiaomiao gave a perfunctory reply, lowered her head to eat her rice, and ignored Lu Yuan.

After finishing her meal, Chen Xiaomiao turned her attention to the new pots and pans she had just acquired and went back to the kitchen to busy herself with their research.

Lu Yuan finished tidying up the cardboard boxes on the ground and was about to throw them away when a small tag slid out from one of them and landed on the floor.

The brand logo and a string of information are printed on the white cardstock.

Lu Yuan's gaze landed precisely on the "Size" section.

65B?

Do you already have a B?

Lu Yuan subconsciously raised his right hand and made a loose fist in the air.

These past two nights... I haven't noticed anything...

No!

I need to double-check this tonight.
