Chapter 77: Omnipotent Mian
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
It wasn’t until after the training started that Yun Xiangxiang realized how useful the things Song Mian prepared for her were!
Song Mian’s sunscreen didn’t have any skin lightening effects, but it felt cool when it was applied. She did not just not sweat much after she used it; her skin was undamaged while everyone else’s was sunburnt.
On the second day, Ma Linlin and others threw their sunscreens away and came to use hers.
Song Mian made a truckload worth of sunscreen out of his thoughtfulness. Yun Xiangxiang estimated that it would be enough to last for all four of them for the twenty days of military training. She generously shared it with the girls and won them all over in one fell swoop.
There was also military footwear that was the same for everyone. Some of the girls who were not thoughtful had blisters on the soles of their feet after a day’s training. On the other hand, Ma Linlin and the others did their research. They slid some pads into the footwear.
But it was rancid when taken out at night after their training. Not to mention that it was uncomfortably drenched in sweat.
Yun Xiangxiang’s insole could absorb sweat. It wasn’t just comfortable, running with it felt easy. On top of that, the footwear gave off fragrance after the insole absorbed all the sweat.
It was a pity that Song Mian only made three pairs of the insole based on Yun Xiangxiang’s size. Their foot size being different aside, it wasn’t enough for all of them. The trio could only grudgingly continue using their pads as insoles.
And then there was the insect repellent. The transition between summer and autumn in September brought sweltering weather. It was hard to not have mosquitoes in their bedroom. A little spray from Song Mian’s insect repellent would release a flavor that calms and relaxes the nerves.
It didn’t just kill the mosquitoes; it even helped in the quality of sleep. At least all the girls in their bedroom would feel more refreshed than anyone else in the morning, no matter how exhausted they were the day before.
The lozenges were beloved by Ma Linlin and the others. Their throats were crumbling after a whole day of singing the military anthem and slogan screaming.
Their throats felt coolly refreshing after having those lozenges. Not just that, it also felt like having iced water. Even the body felt relieved. All of them completely defended against the temptation of iced water.
“Ah...! Xiangxiang, tell me the brand of these things quickly!”
Two days later, Tao Manni finally couldn’t take it anymore. She captured Yun Xiangxiang for interrogation. She didn’t care about the price; she would buy as many of these things as possible. Especially the lozenges. It was a must have during summer!
“It’s homemade,” said Yun Xiangxiang resignedly.
“Everything is made by that suitor of yours!”
Ma Linlin found it inconceivable, but she couldn’t refute. They had already scoured through the web but found nothing whether they were using image or voice search.
“Xiangxiang, is your suitor an alien?” Feng Xiaolu asked incredulously.
How could someone be so versatile if he wasn’t an alien? Not to mention the things he made ranged from skincare products to necessities to food. He had great proficiency in almost all categories.
“He’s just a doctor. All of these things share a common thing. All of them have Chinese medicinal ingredients.” Yun Xiangxiang explained.
Yun Xiangxiang noticed that there was a faint scent of lotus flower in the sunscreen as she sniffed a little. She only knew that snow lotus was added in it after she asked Song Mian. That was why it felt crisp when the sunscreen was applied. The fragrance from the insole was fully extracted from Chinese medicinal ingredients. The lozenges were concocted with cane sugar and a few types of Chinese medicine.
“Are doctors of traditional Chinese medicine so impressive nowadays?” The trio was awestruck.
But they believed that Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t lie to them. She didn’t have any reason to.
“Oh, Xiangxiang! Ask that suitor of yours to mass produce the sunscreen, lozenges and insect repellent. I think they would fly off the shelves!” Tao Manni said solemnly, “Even with these three things, he would be one of the world’s richest in five years!”
Ma Linlin and Feng Xiaolu nodded in agreement, “No matter the price, I will save up enough money to buy it even if I have to save and work part time!”
Those who never had them didn’t know how amazing they were!
When they knew about what kind of man Song Mian was many years later, they realized how naive they were when they remembered what happened today!
“The ingredients limit them from mass production.” Yun Xiangxiang threw an arbitrary excuse to them.
In reality, she didn’t know whether they could be mass produced. However, Song Mian didn’t need this kind of avenue to make money even if he could mass produce them.
The trio looked crestfallen. They were about to say something when they heard something from the room next door. There were also gasps of exclamation. They went over hurriedly.
They were greeted by the pale face of their classmate, Zhu Yuan, who was in pain. She was crying about her upset stomach. One of the roommates was consoling her, while the other was hugging her. Another one should have gone to look for the instructor.
The army assigned a female instructor to them to prevent any situations from happening to the girls.
“Where do you feel uncomfortable?” Yun Xiangxiang asked softly after she approached her.
She was already unable to speak because of the pain. She clutched the spot that pained her while looking at Yun Xiangxiang.
“Did your period start?” Yun Xiangxiang asked again.
Zhu Yuan shook her head feebly.
“Linlin, go get my box of medicines. Manni, go fetch a glass of warm water.” Yun Xiangxiang made the requests to her roommates before saying to Zhu Yuan’s, “Help her up the bed and lay her down on her back.
They were frozen with shock and listened to what Yun Xiangxiang asked. Zhu Yuan was almost heaved to the bed. Yun Xiangxiang went up to massage the acupuncture point above her stomach.
This was taught by Song Qian. She asked while she massaged, “Did you drink any water straight after training without waiting for a little in these two days? Was it also iced water?
The pain subsided a little. Zhu Yuan, who wasn’t in so much pain now, nodded strenuously.
“You probably hurt your stomach. I’ll help you relieve some of the pain.” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t stop her movements. Ma Linlin already had Yun Xiangxiang’s box of medicines at this point. She passed it to Yun Xiangxiang downwards. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t give any medicine immediately.
She wasn’t a doctor after all. She was waiting for the campus doctor. She wanted Ma Linlin to take the medicine just in case something happened. It would be a last resort.
After a short while, Zhu Yuan’s other roommate brought the houseparent and instructor over. The campus doctor also tagged along.
“What’s wrong?” The instructor asked when she entered.
“I feel much better now...” Zhu Yuan answered weakly.
“She might have hurt her stomach by drinking iced water before stopping for rest after vigorous exercise.” Yun Xiangxiang stopped. She climbed down from the bed and said to the campus doctor, “Please examine her.”
The campus doctor went forward to enquire in detail. He pressed Zhu Yuan’s waist and abdomen area before arriving at the same conclusion as Yun Xiangxiang.
Since they were living in their own dorm, their rest time certainly was not as stringent as those who were training in the army. The matter about Zhu Yuan got a bit serious. The people from the rooms across and next to theirs came out to watch. That was how the Yun Xiangxiang’s news spread.
This caused another eruption of discussion at the campus. Lots of people deified her. They even thought that she dabbled in medical knowledge.
It was just some emergency measures Song Qian taught her before the military training started because he was worried about accidents happening to her.
No matter how Yun Xiangxiang tried to explain, everyone thought that she was being modest except for her three roommates. She gave up on retorting.
The dean was getting fonder of her. He drove Yang Qi and her to the TV station himself that afternoon.
