Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Gu Yizhou: Are You Crazy? You Want Me to Buy Sanitary Pads?

’This damn man!’

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi was utterly speechless.

But there was nothing she could do.

Right now, she needed this jerk to "save" her!

Yan Luoxi bit her lip, her face bright red, and said, "I... I’ve got... you know."

"Got what?"

Gu Yizhou’s mind hadn’t even gone to the possibility of her period.

He was just a single guy without a girlfriend; he never paid attention to these things.

It was normal for him not to get it right away.

"It’s... it’s *that*!"

"Aunt Flo is here."

By now, Yan Luoxi’s face was so red it looked like it might start dripping.

"Aunt Flo is here..."

Gu Yizhou repeated under his breath.

Suddenly!

He realized something!

His eyes widened as he stared at the closed bathroom door.

He finally understood.

’So this woman got her period!’

No wonder she was reacting this way.

’But if you’re on your period, just say it. Why all this "you know" and "Aunt Flo" business?’

’It’s really not my fault I didn’t understand!’

But...

She wanted him to help?

’How the hell am I supposed to help with that?’

’It’s not like I can bleed for her, can I?’

Gu Yizhou was completely baffled.

"Ahem~"

"President Yan, uh... about this... I don’t think I can help you with it?"

He said with an awkward expression.

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi knew he understood what she meant.

Right now, her face was burning, and she was so embarrassed she wished the ground would swallow her whole.

Yes!

That’s right!

For some reason, Yan Luoxi’s period had come early this time, catching her completely off guard.

Silence...

Yan Luoxi was so shy right now she didn’t know what to say.

Just as the atmosphere was growing more and more awkward...

Gu Yizhou suddenly remembered that Yan Luoxi had just said she needed a favor.

"Ahem, ahem~"

He thought for a moment before asking, "Uh... President Yan, is there something you need me to do for you?"

"Mhm..."

"Could you go buy me some... some pads?"

Yan Luoxi threw caution to the wind, mustering all her strength to whisper the words.

’There’s no other way!’

In her current state, she couldn’t leave, so she had no choice but to ask Gu Yizhou for help!

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou’s eyes went wide.

He asked with a shocked and incredulous look, "Wait, President Yan, you want me... to go buy you sanitary pads???"

"Mhm..."

Yan Luoxi hummed softly, her face red.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

’Holy shit!’

’Woman!’

’Are you serious?’

’Sending me to buy that stuff?’

’I don’t know how!’

’And I’ve never bought it before!’

In his heart, Gu Yizhou was one hundred percent against it!

’Maybe... I could find someone else to buy them for her?’

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment and said, "Ahem... President Yan, how about... I go downstairs and ask the receptionist to buy them for you?"

"No!"

The moment Gu Yizhou finished speaking, Yan Luoxi hastily cut him off.

She didn’t want a second person to know about such a humiliating matter!

’Doesn’t she, the dignified president of the Tidal Group, have an image to maintain?!’

"Uh..."

Hearing Yan Luoxi’s refusal, Gu Yizhou understood.

But he felt a bit helpless.

’This woman!’

’She’s still worried about her pride at a time like this!’

He complained silently.

But even so, he could understand.

After all, someone of Yan Luoxi’s status would naturally care about their pride.

But!

She wouldn’t let him find someone else.

’So what am I supposed to do?’

’Don’t I have pride to maintain, too?!’

When Gu Yizhou fell silent outside the door, Yan Luoxi, who was inside, was on the verge of tears.

She bit her red lip and said in a pitiful tone, "I don’t want anyone else to know. Can... can you go buy them for me?"

Gu Yizhou: "..."

Hearing this normally icy woman speak in such a soft and pitiful way, Gu Yizhou was momentarily at a loss for words.

’Sigh~’

’I can’t let someone else go.’

’Looks like, at this point, I have to go whether I want to or not!’

He said with a helpless expression, "Fine!"

"Wait for me. I’ll go right now!"

After speaking, he turned, went back to his desk, casually grabbed a jacket, and hurried out the door.

"Phew..."

Hearing the sounds of him leaving, Yan Luoxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Her face was still bright red, and she was so embarrassed she could have carved a five-story luxury villa out of the floor with her toes.

’Making that jerk go buy... *that* for me...’

’This is a full-blown social suicide scenario!’

Hm?

Suddenly!

Yan Luoxi remembered something!

In her embarrassment, she had forgotten to tell Gu Yizhou which kind to buy...

’I’m done for!’

And now she couldn’t leave, and her phone wasn’t with her.

’Now I’m really screwed!’

Yan Luoxi pressed a hand to her forehead, sitting on the toilet, at a complete loss for what to do.

...

Meanwhile, Gu Yizhou...

...was already in the elevator heading downstairs.

Without a second thought, he ran straight for the 24-hour convenience store near the office building.

「Five minutes later.」

Gu Yizhou stood dumbfounded, staring at the rows upon rows of pads on the convenience store shelf.

’Holy shit!’

He suddenly remembered.

’Damn it!’

’I forgot to ask Yan Luoxi which kind she wanted!’

Looking at the pile of pads on the shelf before him—all different brands and types—Gu Yizhou’s head started to ache.

He thought for a moment and quickly pulled out his phone to call Yan Luoxi.

"RING RING RING— RING RING RING—"

"Come on!"

"Woman, pick up the phone!"

Gu Yizhou said, growing agitated as he stood there.

’Damn it!’

He could already feel several strange gazes scanning him.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but feel his face flush slightly.

’Only those who have been through it can understand this feeling!’

’Seriously!’

’It’s so freaking awkward!’

"RING RING RING— RING RING RING—"

The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up!

’It’s over!’

’I’m totally screwed now!’

’No doubt about it!’

’Yan Luoxi definitely didn’t take her phone into the bathroom!’

Actually, you couldn’t blame Yan Luoxi for this.

She had just wanted to go use the restroom.

Besides!

Yan Luoxi wasn’t like other people who were glued to their phones, taking them everywhere—even to the shower and the toilet to scroll!

If it were a man, however...

...the phone would never leave his side!

Forget just any other time, even in the shower or on the toilet, it was a must-bring.

After all, on the toilet, you could watch a movie to kill time, and even beat one off while you’re at it, right?

’So satisfying!’

’Pah, pah, pah!’

’I’m getting sidetracked!’

Gu Yizhou shook his head to clear away the random thoughts.

’What do I do now?’

’Maybe I should just buy one of everything?’

’Since there’s no other way!’

’I’ll just have to use my cash-power!’

’If I buy one of everything and bring it back, one of them is bound to be the right one for Yan Luoxi!’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

Just as Gu Yizhou was nodding to himself, preparing to buy them all...

...the young female cashier who had been sitting at the front counter noticed him...
