Lan Lan also felt that something was not quite right with her today. This feeling was answered when she threw down her chopsticks and stood up, a warm current surging from beneath her.
Her period had arrived. She hadn't been taking Yasmin recently, so her cycle wasn't as regular. It was probably due to too much stress, and it had come early. No wonder she had been eating so much and feeling so irritable today, even acting unreasonably.
However, there was Liang Yufeng here…
Lan Lan's head began to ache. She now had two options: first, ask Liang Yufeng to help her buy tampons; second, order them herself through a delivery app. The former was more efficient but required communication with Liang Yufeng. The latter meant no communication was needed, but she would have to wait for over half an hour.
Lan Lan hesitated for a few seconds before finally deciding to order delivery. She went to the bathroom, sat on the toilet, and placed her order. To meet the minimum order value, she bought several boxes. She had never experienced this situation when she used to visit Liang Yufeng's place before, so he naturally wouldn't have these items.
After Lan Lan left, Liang Yufeng lost his appetite. He cleared the kitchen and, upon coming out, discovered Lan Lan was still in the bathroom. How long had it been?
Liang Yufeng went to knock on the door. "Lan Lan, what's wrong?"
"Nothing," Lan Lan said, checking the delivery status on her phone screen. The rider was almost there. "My delivery will be here soon. Could you go and get it for me?"
Delivery? Liang Yufeng thought she had ordered takeout out of spite, refusing to eat his food. However, when he went to the door to collect it, he realized it wasn't that simple.
Sanitary tampons… Seeing these words, he finally understood what had happened.
Liang Yufeng brought the items to Lan Lan and waited outside the bathroom door for her to come out. When they were dating before, Lan Lan's temper would become very bad before her period was due, and she would also suffer from headaches and nausea. He had researched a lot to help her solve this problem. Later, after his efforts, the situation had indeed improved, but soon after, they separated.
After that, she probably wouldn't pay attention to these things anymore.
Lan Lan was indeed starting to get a headache and feel nauseous. She didn't experience menstrual cramps, but headaches and nausea were no better than cramps. She dazedly washed her hands and, as she came out, bumped right into Liang Yufeng's embrace.
"Why are you still blocking here?" Due to the headache, her voice sounded much weaker than usual.
Liang Yufeng didn't answer. He simply picked her up and carried her to the bedroom upstairs. Shortly after, he returned with painkillers and water for her.
This was also Lan Lan's habit for many years. When she had menstrual migraines, she would rely on painkillers to get through it. He remembered all her little habits clearly.
After taking the medicine, Lan Lan wrapped herself in the duvet and fell asleep. Liang Yufeng took a shower and lay down beside her. She was sleeping soundly. It was only nine o'clock. If it weren't for her period, she would never go to bed so early.
Having slept early, Lan Lan woke up around seven the next morning, no longer feeling sleepy, and woke up with Liang Yufeng. She subconsciously touched her face and discovered her makeup had been removed.
"Did you remove it?" Lan Lan asked.
Liang Yufeng replied with an "Mm." He felt too embarrassed to admit that he had watched a tutorial for nearly half an hour to figure out how to use the makeup remover.
"You removed it quite cleanly. I didn't realize you had this talent." Her body felt much better than yesterday, and Lan Lan's temper had also subsided considerably, giving her the mood to joke with Liang Yufeng.
"Do you still have a headache?" Liang Yufeng was concerned about her health.
"I'm fine now," Lan Lan said, touching her stomach. "I'm just a bit hungry. Can you cook me some porridge? Black rice and red date porridge."
This was a piece of cake for Liang Yufeng. After washing up, he went downstairs to cook the porridge. Lan Lan took a bath and came downstairs, feeling refreshed.
With her period, they couldn't do anything, which made Lan Lan feel a little unhappy. After breakfast, she sat on the sofa, while Liang Yufeng tidied up the coffee table.
Seeing him busy, Lan Lan felt a mischievous urge. She lifted her bare foot and placed it against his calf. The next moment, she felt the man in front of her stiffen.
The tip of her toes pressed against his taut muscles.
Liang Yufeng had long Achilles tendons. Lan Lan had always thought his calves were the most attractive part of him, especially when he was showering under the spray. Her gaze would always unconsciously fall there.
Whether in the past or now, Liang Yufeng was no match for Lan Lan in this regard. If she didn't make a move, it was fine, but once she did, he would immediately revert to his true nature.
"Oh, so hard," Lan Lan said, her toes moving gently along his calf, deliberately speaking words with a double meaning.
Liang Yufeng took a deep breath, still unable to ignore the effect of her actions.
"You'd better not move around," Liang Yufeng warned her, his tone laced with annoyance and embarrassment.
This level of provocation could not threaten Lan Lan. "I will move. What can you do to me?"
Liang Yufeng leaned down and grabbed her ankle. In a flash, he pinned her onto the sofa. Both of Lan Lan's wrists were controlled by him, her legs bent towards her chest. What met her eyes was the man's wolf-like gaze.
Seeing this, Lan Lan knew he had been provoked beyond his control. In fact, she hadn't done much. She could only blame Liang Yufeng for being too impatient. Lan Lan loved to see him lose control and teased him, "Are the women you've been with all these years not good enough? Why are you like this with just a little teasing?"
He wasn't looking for innocent young girls, was he?
"You're looking for death, aren't you?" Liang Yufeng vented his frustration by pinching her.
Lan Lan cried out in surprise. "Can you be a little gentler!" Those who knew would understand it was foreplay, but those who didn't might think he was trying to rob or murder her!
"You asked for it," Liang Yufeng grabbed her hand and fumbled with the drawstring of her sweatpants. "What do you think we should do now?"
Lan Lan hadn't noticed earlier. Now, with a closer look and physical contact, she realized his arousal.
He was being a bit dramatic. Lan Lan decided to go all out. "How would I know what to do? I'm warning you, I'm on my period, I can't play. You'd better..."
"You're doing this on purpose," Liang Yufeng said, pinning her beneath him. His thumb and forefinger gripped her chin, and his gaze fell on her lips. "You need to be taught a lesson."
Lan Lan experienced what it meant to "reap what you sow." If she had known that simply teasing him would have such serious consequences, she would never have kicked him.
She had showered before breakfast and showered again in the morning.
Lan Lan was rubbing body wash on herself and looking in the mirror, seeing the mess on her body, and cursing Liang Yufeng as a pervert.
She wondered where he had learned all those moves. He seemed to have been quite adventurous over the years…
Liang Yufeng probably felt he had gone too far. He made a sumptuous lunch, as if to "apologize" to her. Every dish was something Lan Lan loved to eat.
He even made Chestnut Cakes, a specialty of Xizhou. Being appeased by good food, Lan Lan temporarily forgave him.
In the evening, Lan Lan received a WeChat message from Lin Mei. Lin Mei had been in a bad state recently, so Lan Lan abandoned Liang Yufeng and went with Feng Feng to find Lin Mei for drinks.
