The door was closed slowly, a figure silently slipped in and dived under the blanket. Ye Huang covered his eyes with the arm. At the moment his brain was a bit messed up. " I won't stop you from doing what you are going to, but don't come back crying ", those were the last words before he went back to his suite. He glanced over the other bed, a guy was sleeping here peacefully. The moonlight on his skin, lashes and lips. His hand raised up, then fell back, he rolled back and hugged the pillow. Like his sister said, he picked up the hard route, he could have liked a girl and a happy marriage. Here, in the country, the couples of the same gender were seen as an abomination of nature. Plus, his identity as the only heir of the family, made his situation even more difficult. There were only two important person in his life, his sister and Lei Lei.
Xue yawned and she sat up, she needed to go to the bathroom, her belly was feeling a bit strange. She glanced on the left, seeing the handsome face greeting her, this time he kept his hands in place. He was lying there with his arms folded under his head while his hair was a bit ruffled up. The pajama had a few buttons loose, she noticed that he always kept it this way. Maybe he didn't like tight clothing ? Well he was everyday in that formal suit, maybe he felt a bit suffocating.
She put on her slippers and went to the bath, then she noticed a dark red stain, " Oh…. ", her menstruation was here. She still wasn't quite used to it, since her body always skipped them or had them on irregular intervals. Now that she left the hospital, she had them almost once a month. Still, this monthly occurrence surprised her. Also she didn't quite like it, she felt her whole body heavy and her back aching. As if she suddenly aged twenty years overnight. She rubbed her stomach, " Ackh ", a sudden gasp escaped from her mouth as a painful cramp got her. Immediately a knock echoed on the door, " Xue, what happened ? ", a worried voice drifted in. Cheng Feng had the habit to get up after his wife did, he was quite invested in seeing her goofy movements in order to not make any noises.
" Nothing, it's nothing…. ", her voice completely faded towards the end. Hearing her tone, he realized that she was a bit embarrassed. " Tell me what you need, I'll place it outside the door, is it okay ? ", Xue exhaled a sigh of relief, " I..I need a few sanitary pads ". As soon those words runblued out, her ears turned red. So embarrassing, it was her mistake to not keep her monthly notes down, now she was stuck in the bathroom, waiting for her emergency supplies.
Meanwhile her husband dressed up quickly and run outside. " Oh my god, are you okay ?? ", a lazy voice was startled by the person in front of her, " What's the deal at 7 a.m ?? ", Cheng Feng ignored her and directly asked Mrs. Yu about the pads. Of course she hollered in a wild laugh, " To think that you could say such words with your deadpan face, it's hilarious ", she wiped off her tears and went back to her room. After a few minutes she was ready, " Okay, for my muse's sake, I'll let this time slide, no one should interrupt my beauty sleep ", she mumbled then glared at him, " Especially if I had a nice drink last night ". This was her, once she opened her mouth, a huge amount of blabber would make the unlucky listener dizzy.
Xue decided to soak her sore body in the warm water, at least she could wait cozily. While she was relaxing a sudden thought popped in her mind, how did he hear her from the bathroom ? Did she wake him up ? But she always tiptoed… was she too loud ?
Of course she was unaware that every morning her husband would punctually wake up before her and kept staying on the bed awake. Maybe it was also because she only slept with her back facing him.
In this last month Xue found herself sleeping or napping in his bedroom, the maid said that she often fell asleep and Cheng Feng would always carry her to somewhere more comfortable to sleep on. She rubbed her nose, why was he so caring, she was afraid that she might break the contract first….. And even worse would come, if she really developed such feelings. She shook her head, droplets flew everywhere, her wet air had a silverish reflection, making her even paler than usual. She stood up and got ready to change up. She clearly knew that they were never meant to be. The rim of her eyes reddened, she quickly rubbered her eyes, she couldn't cry, not now and never.
" Are you sure it's this thing Xue asked for ? ", Cheng Feng carefully examined the small package of sanitary pads, feeling a bit perpòezed. Mrs. Yu snapped, " What , you don't believe me ? ", but her words did not affect his current doubtful depression. She rubbed her temple, did this guy become dumber after marrying ?? She threw a glance at the shpèèo h list and only a few items were left, " We should hurry ". He interrupted her, taking the basket and walking towards the check out. She rolled her eyes and made a run to grab the last few items, since there was a long waiting line. A small pop sound echoed from her phone, she picked it up, Dr. Jun sent a message. He was currently with her muse and her brother. She typed back, updating them of her current progress about the emergency thing for Xue.
In a bar, three people were sitting quietly, Xue was sipping her warm milk, while staring at the sea. She kinda felt that the current atmosphere between the doc and the red haired guy was a bit tense, so she could only wait for her two saviors to come back.
