Stockpiling Supplies&Raising a Child in a Post-Apocalyptic World by DrawingCards

Chapter 87

Meanwhile, Lin Ran and Mo Shuyu had returned home. After their bath, they were playing with Ruan Ruan in the living room.

Perhaps because she had just gotten a mommy, Ruan Ruan had been especially clingy to Lin Ran these days. "Mommy, will you play with the train set with me today?"

"Sure, I'll play with you in the afternoon when I'm free," Lin Ran said with a smile, pinching her chubby little hand.

"Yay!" Ruan Ruan snuggled happily in Lin Ran's arms.

In the kitchen, Cheng Yanhong tried to light the gas stove but couldn't get it to ignite. She called out from the kitchen, "Has the gas been cut off? I can't get it to light."

Lin Ran quickly put down the little girl and walked to the kitchen. She tried turning the gas on and off a few times and even replaced the batteries in the stove, but it still wouldn't light.

Although this was inevitable, Lin Ran found it a bit hard to adjust once it happened. It meant they would be further removed from modern conveniences.

"The entire Jiangbei City has probably had its gas supply cut off. It's normal. We have a portable stove and gas canisters. I'll take some out, and we'll cook with that for now." Lin Ran had prepared for this earlier, having bought not only portable stoves and gas canisters but also a lot of charcoal.

The portable stove's flame was small, but it was sufficient for cooking. Given the current situation, they didn't have many ingredients anyway, so frying dishes wasn't an option.

For lunch, they cooked dumpling soup with the portable stove, adding wood ear mushrooms and luncheon meat. Despite the lack of fresh vegetables, Lin Ran still felt very satisfied.

After lunch, Cheng Yanhong took the little one to the secondary bedroom, while Lin Ran held Mo Shuyu's hand and led her to the master bedroom. As soon as they closed the door, Lin Ran embraced Mo Shuyu.

Mo Shuyu gently tapped Lin Ran's nose. "What's up? Aren't we going to take a nap?"

"Yeah, I missed you," Lin Ran said, looking at Mo Shuyu's lips and wrapping her arms around Mo Shuyu's slender waist, leaning in for a kiss. She only pulled back when Mo Shuyu was breathless.

Mo Shuyu's eyes were misty, her warm breath hitting Lin Ran's neck. "You're holding me too tight."

"Okay, I'll loosen up a bit." Lin Ran kissed Mo Shuyu's nose and then led her towards the bed.

"How about we stay like this?" Lin Ran suggested, switching positions to sit face-to-face with Mo Shuyu on her lap.

Mo Shuyu's face and ears turned a deep red. She struggled slightly but couldn't break free.

"I'm sleepy and I want to rest," Mo Shuyu said, blushing, wondering if Lin Ran planned to do something in the middle of the day.

"Alright, we can exercise first, then our sleep will be better." Lin Ran coaxed, kissing Mo Shuyu's lips. Initially, Lin Ran kissed lightly, but it gradually deepened until Mo Shuyu, unable to breathe, pushed her away.

Mo Shuyu pinched Lin Ran's ear and asked, blushing, "Have you had ulterior motives for a while?"

"No, I just want to be close to my girlfriend. That's normal, no ulterior motives," Lin Ran replied, pulling Mo Shuyu onto the bed. Just as she was about to continue, the system's mechanical voice sounded in her mind.

"Sorry host, I don't want to interrupt, but the fourth card drawing location has been refreshed. Please prepare for it. The fourth draw is at 2 PM, and you'll need to find the location yourself," the system's grating mechanical voice echoed in Lin Ran's head.
