Gu Qingcheng was speechless.
What kind of joke was this?
A man who never dipped his fingers in the spring water? Could he cook?
She didn’t believe him.
Huo Sicheng’s mouth twitched for a long time before he spoke, “Someone sent it over.”
“It was obvious,” Gu Qingcheng glared at Huo Sicheng. Memories of certain things made her feel stifled, and she angrily accused him, “You dog of a man, always lying!”
Huo Sicheng: .
Gu Qingcheng couldn’t be bothered with Huo Sicheng.
Yesterday, she was sweating profusely, feeling sticky all over, and wanted to take a bath.
Perhaps because of her weakness, as soon as she got out of bed, her legs softened, and her body couldn’t help but fall down.
A pair of strong arms caught her just in time, and with a little force, she ended up sitting on Huo Sicheng’s lap.
In an instant, the cold fragrance on him penetrated her heart, unknowingly soothing her inner frustration.
Huo Sicheng took Gu Qingcheng to the bathroom, “The water is ready, I’ll wait outside. Call me if you need anything.”
Gu Qingcheng looked surprised at Huo Sicheng, “How did you know I wanted to take a bath?”
“You love cleanliness,” Huo Sicheng said softly, placing a towel nearby, “Go ahead.”
Saying she wasn’t touched would be a lie; every month, Gu Qingcheng suffered from painful periods and had always endured it on her own.
This time, Huo Sicheng took care of her meticulously, how could she not be moved or touched?
She had anger towards him, but she also knew she couldn’t let it out.
“Remember for next time, I can’t take a bath during my period,” she deliberately put on a stern face, but her voice unconsciously softened, “Otherwise, the bathtub will be filled with blood.”
Huo Sicheng’s handsome face visibly stiffened, seemingly not realizing he had made such a basic mistake.
Gu Qingcheng looked satisfied seeing Huo Sicheng’s expression, and her lips curved slightly, “Wait outside.”
After Huo Sicheng left the bathroom, he opened the wardrobe to pick out today’s clothes for Gu Qingcheng.
The shower washed away the fatigue from her body, and Gu Qingcheng felt much more comfortable.
However…
She stood at the door and called out to him softly, blushing, “Huo Sicheng…” “I’m here,” he replied.
“Um… that… we don’t have any sanitary pads at home. Can you conveniently go buy some for me? The nearest supermarket is at the corner, about five kilometers away. I… I have a bit of heavy flow right now, so I can’t drive to buy them myself. I…”
She didn’t usually stay here; in previous years, she traveled all over the country.
This year was also for a special reason, and she had been staying in Jiangcheng all along.
So, it was normal for there to be no supplies at home.
“Wait for me,” Huo Sicheng’s voice was gentle, “I’ll be back soon.”
Gu Qingcheng was startled and then hurriedly said, “Wait, can you drive alone?”
She almost forgot that his legs were disabled.
“Aqing is here,” Huo Sicheng reassured Gu Qingcheng, “I’ll be fine. Just wait for me.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you,” Gu Qingcheng replied.
Ah Qing drove Huo Sicheng to the supermarket. “Master, what do you want to buy?” Ah Qing asked respectfully, “I’ll go and buy it for you.”
Huo Sicheng wheeled himself into the supermarket, “No need, I’ll buy it myself.”
As the elegant and handsome Huo Sicheng entered the supermarket in a wheelchair, both the staff and the customers couldn’t help but be fascinated by him. They had never seen a man in a wheelchair look so handsome, even better looking than a popular movie star, which made everyone stare in awe.
It was the first time in his life that Huo Sicheng entered a supermarket to buy something, and it happened to be sanitary pads for Gu Qingcheng. He knew people were staring at him, but he ignored their gazes and looked around to find where the sanitary pads were sold.
“Excuse me, where can I find sanitary pads?” he calmly asked a saleswoman, not feeling embarrassed about buying women’s personal items.
The saleswoman, a middle-aged woman, was quite surprised by Huo Sicheng’s composure. She pointed not far away and said in amazement, “They are over there. It’s rare to see a man buying sanitary pads for a woman. Even if they do, most men act all fidgety and blush like a monkey’s bottom, as if buying sanitary pads is some embarrassing thing.”
Huo Sicheng paid no attention to her remarks and stood in front of the shelf with sanitary pads, feeling a bit lost. There were too many brands, and he didn’t know which one Gu Qingcheng used.
“People like you, good men, are a rare breed,” the saleswoman continued, speaking to herself, “A woman’s period is a very normal thing. I don’t understand why some men feel ashamed about it. They were born from their mother’s wombs, for heaven’s sake, and yet they have the nerve to be disgusted by women during their period.”
“Last time, there was a man who came to buy these and said that a woman’s period is the filthiest thing and that being in contact with it brings bad luck for a whole year. He even said that after buying the pads, he made his wife sleep in the living room and forbade her from sleeping in the bedroom. It’s really beyond me. In this day and age, there are still people so superstitious…”
She noticed Huo Sicheng staring at the different brands and smiled understandingly, “May I ask, are you buying these for your younger sister, older sister, mother, or wife?”
At the mention of “wife,” a hint of softness appeared in Huo Sicheng’s cold expression, and his lips curved slightly, almost imperceptibly.
“My wife.”
When he uttered these two words, they brought him a unique sense of joy.
“Wife, then let’s go with this one.” The saleswoman took out a brand, “This one has a comfortable applicator tampon. It’s odor-absorbing and very comfortable, with top-notch comfort. It’s popular among buyers and sells the best. Your wife is sure to love it.”
“Buy all of this brand,” Huo Sicheng didn’t understand these things, but when he heard the saleswoman mention comfort, he thought of how much Gu Qingcheng must have been suffering during her period. He pointed to the row of tampons next to it and said, “Buy all of these as well.”
The saleswoman was taken aback, “Does your wife need so many?”
“She won’t need so many,” Huo Sicheng prepared to leave, “But she should pick the brand she likes.”
The saleswoman hesitated for a moment, then smiled brightly, “Oh, you are such a good man. Alright, let’s pack them now.”
Huo Sicheng rushed back to the cloud where Gu Qingcheng was staying.
Aqing brought a very large box of tampons and left it at the bathroom door.
Huo Sicheng thought about how Gu Qingcheng had been in the bathroom the whole time he was away, and his heart ached for her.
“I brought them back.”
Gu Qingcheng was sitting on the toilet, feeling extremely uncomfortable. When she heard Huo Sicheng’s voice, it was like a savior had arrived, and her eyes lit up.
She quickly used some tissues to wipe her hands and opened the bathroom door. As soon as she saw the loving and tender look in Huo Sicheng’s eyes, her heart warmed.
In Huo Sicheng’s view, Gu Qingcheng was wrapped only in a white towel.
Her long black hair spread over her shoulders, her graceful swan-like neck, elegant shoulders, and especially her exposed long legs. It made him breathe faster, and his whole body felt hot.
He couldn’t help but adjust his tie, but it didn’t relieve the burning desire surging through his body.
“I bought all the brands of sanitary pads from the supermarket and brought them back. You can choose the one you like.” His voice was hoarse, with a hint of restrained trembling.
Gu Qingcheng didn’t notice Huo Sicheng’s hesitation because she was busy looking down at the huge box of sanitary products in front of her, and her expression became awkward.
Huo Sicheng saw the change in Gu Qingcheng’s expression and asked, “None of them are the ones you like?”
Gu Qingcheng shook her head, “No.”
“Then why?” Huo Sicheng was a little puzzled, “Why don’t you use them?”
“I f*cking…” Gu Qingcheng was speechless, “I asked you to buy sanitary pads.
Why did you buy tampons?”
Huo Sicheng asked in confusion, “Is there a difference between sanitary pads and tampons?”
