CH 18.2

When she woke up again, she realized that she was lying on a strong back. She could occasionally smell the fresh fragrance of a shower gel that occasionally left a fragrance. The fragrance was hard to detect, and it was very intoxicating. Yisheng opened her eyes and saw the back of Song Anchen’s head! She pursed her lips, not daring to move. She was getting a piggyback ride from Song Anchen, the two of them were walking towards the school gate. Under the milky moonlight, the few students that were strolling about in school seemed to be just shadows. She suddenly felt that in such a large school, only the two of them were close together, walking slowly into the silence of the night.

Yisheng leaned on Song Anchen’s back and felt warmth from the bottom of his heart. She really wanted to continue walking like this, walking towards the castle that belonged to the two of them, living a happy life of a princess and a prince. However, it was a pity, she was not a princess, and the prince would not belong to her. She was just a cheap Santana and could not afford a Bentley driver.

She sighed softly. Her sigh was very soft, but Song Anchen heard it. Song Anchen’s gaze was especially shiny in the white moonlight, it was even clearer than any star in the sky.

He was the kind of person that, when he decided he wanted something, he would persevere to get it. No matter whether he had to fight for it, or if he had to steal it, even if he was covered in wounds, he would never think of giving up.

As long as it was something he decided on.

Song Anchen piggy-backed her to the school parking lots and stood by his car. In the empty parking lot, he spoke in an especially loud voice, “Wake up.”

Yisheng could no longer pretend to sleep and opened her eyes suddenly, “I’m up.”

Song Anchen put her down and smiled slightly, “Did you have a good sleep?”

“So-so, I’m feeling weak all over, and my stomach feels bad,” Yisheng stretched, her expression full of tiredness.

“Is your period coming?” Song Anchen took out his car key and pressed it, saying casually. Yisheng blinked and was stunned for a few seconds, her face turned red quickly. This pervert, how did he know? She could not help but touch her butt, there was no blood.

Song Anchen chuckled, “Don’t forget, I got full marks for my Obstetrics and Gynaecology.”

Yisheng’s mouth twitched and directly rolled her eyes at him. This pervert understood women better than women. It was too scary.

Song Anchen drove Yisheng back to his neighbourhood, this time, he did not find a bad excuse to go up with her. After he sent Yisheng to her block, he started to leave. Yisheng watched him leave, suddenly feeling a little disappointed. After she returned home, she realized that it was already close to midnight, and her stomach started to feel hungry.

What was going on! Yisheng could only boil water to cook instant noodles. She carried the bowl of noodles and sat down on the living room sofa to slurp up the noodles. She took mouthful after mouthful, and suddenly felt a flowing feeling below. She was surprised.

Song Anchen had jinxed her. As soon as he mentioned this, her period instantly came. Her period had come at midnight. She hurriedly stood up and ran to the washroom. Something even sadder happened. She was out of Whisper. She wanted to cry, so she could only put on another pad for the moment and randomly grab some money from the table before running out to buy what she needed.

(T/N: The brand of pads called Whisper)

The supermarket in her neighborhood was not open 24 hours a day. When she stood at the entrance of her supermarket, she wanted to scream. She glanced at the already empty place, and could not help but feel sad. If she did not have Whisper tonight, she would have a hard time sleeping. She gritted her teeth, the sheets could not be stained!

She rushed out of the neighborhood and went to the supermarket in the neighborhood nearby to buy.

The supermarket in Ling Tian was open 24 hours a day. Not only that, the supermarket was especially bright and spacious. It was like a large comprehensive supermarket. When she went in, she realised that she was right, this was indeed a very large and comprehensive supermarket. She just wanted to buy her Whisper but had a hard time finding it. She only found the female products section after a long time. When she looked at the long row of ‘large band-aids’, she did not see her Whisper. Not only that, the prices on the shelf were all two figures and above. She opened her hand and looked at the ten RMB in her hand, feeling like crying. Sadly, the cheapest one here was 10.80 RMB and what she had was not enough. Her Whisper was at most 5.80RMB, and she had been using that all this while, so she had already gotten used to the price, so she had not thought much about it when she went out.

She began to fret. If she had to go back home and come back with money, it was practically asking her to die. She walked around in circles, trying to find something that was cheaper than 10 RMB. In the end, she gave up. There was no product cheaper than 10 RMB.

Just as she was about to look up at the sky and bemoan her fate, she saw Song Anchen at the frozen foods section? She shivered. Should she ask for help from him? She paced back and forth and went through an intense argument with herself in her head. She was about to just go for it when she saw Song Anchen, who was pushing his shopping cart, standing nearby, giving her an ambiguous smile.

Just as she was looking up at the sky, she saw song an Chen in the distant frozen area? She shivered. When she met him at such a time, did she want to ask for help? She paced back and forth, had a strong ideological struggle, just want to give up, but saw song an Chen pushing the shopping cart has stood not far away, toward her ambiguous smile.

“Are you hesitating because you don’t know which brand to buy?”

Yisheng glanced at him and ignored him.

He chuckled, “Please continue,” After he said that, he turned his shopping cart around and left. Yisheng saw that he wanted to leave, and was anxious, but did not dare to run over. While she was hesitating, Song Anchen suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around to tell her softly, “Cook some brown sugar water to drink when you get home.”

Yisheng decided to just go for it. She took three steps forward, and threw the ‘large band-aid’ into his shopping cart, then looked away, “Ah, this supermarket has so many things, I’ll accompany you while you shop.”

Song Anchen looked at the eye-catching thing in the shopping cart, and suddenly, a mischievous light appeared in his eyes, “I suggest that you use cotton pads, netting is not as healthy as cotton.”

Yisheng opened her mouth, then smiled stiffly, “Little Brother Song, can you not be so professional?”

Song Anchen ignored her and unabashedly walked to the section selling pads, putting back the pads that she had originally thrown in his shopping cart, then proceeded to help her pick a few and throw them in the shopping cart. After that, he calmly walked out. This sort of skillful and natural shopping posture made Yisheng speechless. Even though she was a woman, she also felt embarrassed when buying such things. Although he was a man, he was not embarrassed at all?

Weirdo! Yisheng scolded him behind his back.

“What are you standing there in a daze for? Didn’t you say you’ll accompany me to shop?” Song Anchen turned around, looking like a king.

“Oh!” Yisheng followed him. She had to admit that Song Anchen had the potential to be a homely man. He did not buy frozen food and knew how to pick fresh meat and vegetables. He even knew which daily necessities are the most practical. What he bought on his shopping trip this time was everything necessary. He was unlike Yisheng, who would buy a bunch of random snacks or frozen food everytime she went grocery shopping.

Of course, Song Anchen had his ways of keeping healthy.

When they were paying for the groceries, Song Anchen told the cashier, “Pack these separately.” The things he was referring to were Yisheng’s ‘large band-aids’. The cashier glanced at Yisheng and Song Anchen but did not imply anything with his expression. However, Yisheng felt embarrassed, and accepted the bag that the cashier handed to her, her little face red.

When they walked out of the supermarket, Song Anchen said, “Bring your wallet the next time you leave your house.”

So he knew about her awkward situation. She laughed dryly twice and her voice weakened, “I thought that these things wouldn’t be so expensive.”

“This supermarket was specially set up for the residents of the Ling Tian Estate, so the things in it are a little expensive,” Song Anchen glanced at the dress on Yisheng’s body and her empty hands, frowning, “Did you not bring your keys?”

“Huh?” Yisheng blinked and thought about it for a moment. Then, she instantly widened her eyes and wailed, “I’m finished. I left my keys in my bag and forgot to take them out.” Was she going to end up out on the streets tonight? She looked at the dark streets and felt her vision darken for a moment. She really wanted to faint, but could not and could only look pitifully at Song Anchen, “Lend me your phone, I’ll contact my landlord.”

“Does your landlord stay nearby?”

“No, I think my landlord stays on the West side of B City.”

Song Anchen’s mouth twitched, “This is the East District of B City. Look at what time it is now, do you think it’ll be possible?”

“What should I do then? I’m penniless and I don’t have a phone with me. Do you want me to sleep on the street?” Yisheng wanted to faint right now.

Song Anchen pondered for a while, “Stay over at my house tonight.”

“Ah?” Yisheng took a step back and looked at him in shock.

“You’re wearing a large band-aid, what do you think I’ll do to you?” Song Anchen suddenly smiled and looked at Yisheng.

That seemed to be true. Yisheng hesitated for a moment and looked at Song Anchen who was next to her. What was she scared of! It was not like they have never slept together before, and she had her period today, so there was completely no reason for her to be scared.

She puffed out her chest, looking brave, “Alright.”

Song Anchen smiled slightly, his eyes narrowing like a fox.
