Su Rou's rash completely subsided on the fourth day. Unfortunately, on the very night when the rash disappeared, Su Rou's menstrual period arrived. Maybe it was because the allergy had made her too nervous. When her period came at night, she was in so much pain that she rolled on the floor. Su Yuze took out a hot water bag and placed it on her abdomen.
"If you still feel pain, we'll go to the hospital," Su Yuze said. Seeing her curled up in pain, with cold sweat pouring down her face, he felt heart - wrenching. The hot water bag and brown sugar water didn't seem to work, and Su Rou was still in intense pain.
"No, I don't want to move," Su Rou said weakly, lying on the sofa and not even wanting to budge. She thought that if she could just get through this night, she'd be okay.
"But if the pain continues like this..." Could she bear it?
Su Rou frowned and shook her head. "It's okay."
"Alright. Drink this traditional Chinese medicine. If you're still in pain after that, I'll take you to the hospital." Because Su Rou suffered from severe menstrual cramps, Su Yuze had specifically asked Aunt Wang to come and boil the traditional Chinese medicine. Generally speaking, it was better for women not to take too many medicines during their menstrual period as it was not good for their health. But now, as long as it could relieve her pain, he didn't care about anything else.
Aunt Wang sighed. Being a girl was really tough. "Young master, I'll leave first."
"Okay."
Su Yuze fed Su Rou the medicine spoon by spoon. Su Rou frowned. "It's so bitter."
"Good medicine tastes bitter." If it weren't for her severe menstrual cramps, he wouldn't have let her drink such bitter medicine. "Open your mouth."
Su Rou looked at him with tear - filled eyes and said aggrievedly, "I'll vomit." It was really too bitter.
"Be obedient, or we'll go to the hospital." Su Yuze coaxed Su Rou to drink the bowl of traditional Chinese medicine. After she finished it, he stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth and then gave her the hot water bag to warm her abdomen.
It had to be said that holding a hot water bag in September was torture. Su Rou was sweating from the heat while also breaking out in cold sweat from the pain. After finally letting go of the hot water bag, Su Yuze charged it again. "Brother Ze, I feel much better. I don't need this anymore," Su Rou said. Her clothes were all wet with sweat.
"Keep it on for a while longer." He didn't know how others endured menstrual cramps, but when it came to Su Rou, he felt extremely worried. He originally thought that women only had to bear the pain of childbirth, but he didn't expect they also had to endure menstrual cramps.
"Xiaorou'er, I'm going to work. Call me if you need anything." Su Rou had spent the night in Su Yuze's bedroom again last night and only fell asleep in the early morning. She was still asleep at this time.
"Um..." Su Rou turned over and continued to sleep.
It seemed that her menstrual cramps had improved a lot. Su Yuze let out a slight sigh of relief and then went out to work.
Su Rou slept until noon. She scratched her long hair and got out of bed. When she lifted the quilt, she paused for a moment because she had tossed and turned too much last night, and there were a few spots of blood on the bedsheet.
What about her underwear?
Su Rou rubbed her forehead. She had to buy new underwear today!
"Aunt Wang, make a little more. I'm going to the company to deliver lunch to Brother Ze," Su Rou said to Aunt Wang who was busy in the kitchen.
"Sure thing."
"And... could you please wash the bedsheet in Brother Ze's room?"
"Okay."
Su Rou sent a text message to Su Yuze and then carried the lunch box towards Shengshi Company. She needed to ask Su Yuze for some money. Otherwise, how could she buy underwear?
The receptionist at Shengshi Company already recognized Su Rou. As soon as she saw the girl walking in, she stood up enthusiastically. "Welcome. Are you here to see General Manager Su? He's in his office at this time."
Su Rou nodded. "I know. I'll go by myself."
"Please take your time."
Su Rou took the elevator exclusive to the general manager. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw Lian Shuang holding a stack of documents and knocking on the door of the general manager's office. "Hey? Are you Su Rou?" Lian Shuang asked in surprise when she saw Su Rou beside her, who had obviously grown much taller. It had only been a year since they last saw each other, and she had not only grown taller but also become much more beautiful.
"Yes."
"Come in."
Lian Shuang quickly pushed the door open and went in. Su Rou followed. Knowing that they had work to do, she consciously sat on the sofa beside them and waited. Lian Shuang handed the documents in her hand to Su Yuze. "These are the ones that need your signature, and these are the ones that need your review."
"Okay." Su Yuze signed the documents and kept the ones that needed review. The rest were taken away by Lian Shuang. Lian Shuang was a bit reluctant to leave. After all, the only time she could see the general manager was during work, and the general manager was extremely focused when working and never even glanced at her. It was rare that she had put on pink lipstick today.
"Do you have anything else?" Su Yuze asked.
"No... no," Lian Shuang said, staring at Su Yuze while he was working. It was said that a man was most handsome when he was working seriously, and it seemed that this was absolutely true! Su Yuze was dazzling no matter when. "I just wanted to remind you that it's lunch time. Don't forget to have lunch."
After saying that, Lian Shuang hurriedly left with the documents. When she turned around and saw Su Rou's pure face, her face suddenly turned bright red. Oh my god! Hadn't Su Rou heard her almost - confession? Su Rou was Su Yuze's younger sister. If she wanted to marry into the Su family in the future, she must get along well with this younger sister!
Thinking of this, Lian Shuang showed a beautiful smile, waved at Su Rou, and then walked out of the office.
Su Rou's eyes followed Lian Shuang all the time. Lian Shuang was indeed a beauty, a great beauty. It was obvious that she had feelings for Brother Ze. However... if she wanted to be her sister - in - law, Su Rou couldn't agree. Brother Ze hadn't spent enough time with her yet. She didn't want to give Brother Ze away so soon.
"Little thing, how much longer are you going to stare?" Su Yuze had noticed Su Rou as soon as Lian Shuang came in. Seeing that she was being so sensible and sitting on the sofa, he had focused on his work first. He didn't expect that the little thing's eyes would follow Lian Shuang. What was going on? Wasn't he, her brother, as good as that stranger?
"Ah." Su Rou came back to her senses, picked up the lunch box, and said, "It's time for lunch."
The lunch box was insulated, and it was filled with the dishes that Su Yuze liked, cooked by Aunt Wang. Su Yuze took it and started to eat elegantly. "Why did you think of delivering lunch to me?" This kind of behavior, similar to that of a little girlfriend, made the corners of his mouth curl up in satisfaction.
"Actually, I came to ask you for some money."
"What for?"
"...... To buy underwear."
