Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 864 - 866: New Idea

"Hand in your papers." After a final review, Gong Ruini collected her stationery and prepared to leave.

Even though there was no pressure answering the questions, the surrounding looks of despair and resentment made Gong Ruini unwilling to stay any longer.

She was also really worried that if her conversation with Feng Xueyan got leaked, she would definitely become the nation’s enemy. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

To avoid giving people a reason to surround her, better retreat quickly.

This time, Gong Ruini handed in her paper a full forty minutes early, leaving those who had completed only half their papers stunned, watching dumbfounded as she waved her hand and left.

Gong Ruini leisurely walked home, stepping under the shadows of the trees. Suddenly, her childlike nature kicked in, and she kept stepping on the shadows as she moved forward.

Zhao Xuran really didn’t expect that just because he got distracted and didn’t meet Gong Ruini at the school gate, he’d end up seeing her childlike side.

Everyone said Gong Ruini was so mature; they should really come and see this childlike side of her now.

Someone seemed to be following behind, matching her pace. Gong Ruini turned around quickly, her face immediately flushing red.

Being this cute for once, and it was seen by Zhao Xuran — her luck was unbeatable. If there were a lottery to buy, Gong Ruini really thought she should try her luck.

"Brother Xuran." It suddenly occurred to Gong Ruini that this wasn’t the usual path Zhao Xuran took after classes; even if he had errands, he wouldn’t go this way.

Was he purposely coming to pick her up? Gong Ruini felt touched. "Brother Xuran, my exam ended today, you should treat me to something to eat."

Sharp-eyed people noticed business opportunities near the school; although students might not have much money, they occasionally buy a pen or notebook, so a few stationery stores opened nearby.

In the summer, popsicles are a must. Thinking of popsicles made Gong Ruini immediately feel the heat.

"Brother Xuran, I want to eat a popsicle." When you want something, you should say it directly, as you can’t expect someone to understand your hint.

Popsicle — had this girl forgotten the pain from her last period? "Aren’t you about to have your period?"

5555, how did such an intimate detail get known by Zhao Xuran? Her face was redder than a monkey’s butt, and it definitely wasn’t from the sun.

Sigh, having a boyfriend who is so familiar with your periods is indescribably difficult. The good thing is that he’ll help you prepare necessities and cook things to help you through those days.

The downside is that even when you rarely want a popsicle, he’ll prevent you, and you can’t even argue against it.

"Alright." Considering the pain of menstruation, Gong Ruini didn’t insist any longer. In this era without liquid sanitary pads or comfortable panties, she had to take care of herself.

Oh, right, this could be a good money-making opportunity! Gong Ruini’s eyes lit up.

Since she was too young before, Gong Ruini never thought in this way, and such ideas would really be ahead of the times, attracting all sorts of attention.

As for now, Gong Ruini really couldn’t care less. As a tool needed every month, she really didn’t want to endure the inferior menstrual products of this era. It’s unbearable.

Without the internet or anything, Gong Ruini could endure, but this needed to be solved quickly.

Once the idea struck, Gong Ruini decided to act, dragging Zhao Xuran as she rushed home.

Was she angry? Seeing Gong Ruini’s furious expression, Zhao Xuran could only think of that. But shouldn’t they bargain about compensating later? How come she didn’t mention it today? Strange.

Zhao Xuran couldn’t bring it up himself, or else the girl might notice something.

After getting home, Gong Ruini rushed towards her room. With the idea in mind, she needed to think about how to execute it, and then draft some blueprints.

No, it should be a rough sketch with room for improvement, showing that the results were from collective brainstorming.

Even if someone asked about it later, Gong Ruini wouldn’t be afraid — it was a team effort and couldn’t be solely credited to her.

Was she really angry? Standing dumbfounded at the door, Zhao Xuran watched as Gong Ruini left him behind, heading towards her part of the house. He was puzzled.

Could it be that she was angry about him seeing her act so childishly before?

He didn’t know how to explain himself. He was secretly following from behind, but even knowing that Gong Ruini was upset about being seen cute, Zhao Xuran had no regrets.

Too bad he didn’t have a camera; capturing it would have been great. Zhao Xuran regretted it, but he knew Gong Ruini likely wouldn’t make such a mistake again.

Gong Ruini wasn’t aware of Zhao Xuran’s regrets. She was busy drafting her blueprints, sketching out comfort panties and various specs of period products from memory before storing them safely.

Even though there was nobody who could enter her room without her consent, Gong Ruini was still cautious. If she wasn’t careful and something leaked, it would be a big problem.

Through revisions and changes, Gong Ruini managed to draw something close to her current idea before dinner.

Looking at the somewhat wretched drawing, if it hadn’t been done by her, it would be unrecognizable as menstrual products. But that showed she drew her ideas as they came, modifying as needed.

Cai Meina and Wan Qiweng were in discussion when they saw their daughter rushing to find Wan Qiweng, quite puzzled. "Aren’t you resting?"

"Auntie, look at what I designed." Gong Ruini, panting, placed her work in front of Wan Qiweng.

Looking at the sheet of paper in her hand — if it could even be called that — Wan Qiweng really didn’t understand what Gong Ruini drew. Without being told it was a design, she might have thought Gong Ruini was taking abstract art lessons.

"What is this?" Cai Meina peered over. "It’s so ugly."

"Can’t understand it at all?" Was this girl teasing her aunt?

"Menstrual tool." No way, was her drawing really that bad? Gong Ruini took another look, and it did seem a bit ugly.

But it didn’t matter, she could explain it.

Wan Qiweng didn’t expect it to be something like this, but listening to Gong Ruini, she felt a desire to try it. "So you’re thinking?"

Wan Qiweng didn’t think Gong Ruini would cause such a fuss just to make her menstruation a bit more comfortable. There must be some thought behind it.

"If it works, let’s start a factory." Gong Ruini excitedly shared her idea.

Given such a good idea, she shouldn’t be abandoned just like that. Gong Ruini didn’t expect many shares — even a small portion would do.

Starting a factory — if the product was really this good, it’d definitely succeed. Wan Qiweng was tempted, as a woman she wished those monthly days wouldn’t be so terrible.
