Ji Hang coughed and said, "When I handed in my homework last time, I accidentally saw your file." Seeing that Li Rongrong didn't respond, Ji Hang smiled lightly, "A small gift between classmates, would you mind accepting it? After all, it will be difficult for us to meet after the college entrance examination."
Li Rongrong didn't refuse again and said, "Thank you."
The corners of Ji Hang's lips curved up. He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Do you have time after school?"
Li Rongrong apologized, "I'm sorry, my family is still waiting for me."
"It's alright, after all, it's your birthday." Ji Hang felt disappointed but didn't say anything.
Li Rongrong smiled and was about to return to her seat when a sharp pain struck her stomach.
"What's wrong?" Ji Hang supported her.
Li Rongrong tightly bit her lip, unable to utter a word, and her face turned pale within moments.
Ji Hang couldn't think of anything else and immediately carried her, rushing towards the infirmary.
Li Rongrong was on her period. Due to the abuse, she had suffered in her early years, although she had taken good care of her body, there were still some parts of her body that had not fully recovered. For example, her menstrual cramps. Every time it came, she would feel several times more pain than the average person. Sometimes, she even needed painkillers. Otherwise, she would not be able to stand up at all.
When she arrived at the school clinic, Ji Hang also understood the situation. His face turned slightly red. He didn't expect it to be menstrual cramps. However, when he witnessed Li Rongrong sweating profusely from the pain, he urgently grabbed the doctor and asked, "Is there any way to alleviate her pain? She can't endure this!"
The doctor appeared helpless and replied, "There's not much we can do since it's a physiological phenomenon. Painkillers are an option, but I don't recommend continued usage as it can lead to dependency. She's still young, so it's better to endure it. Her body is relatively weak as well. I suggest drinking some warm brown sugar water to ease the pain instead. It's better to avoid medication..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Hang rushed out of the infirmary. After a few minutes, he returned, drenched in sweat, and holding a bag in his hand. He took out the brown sugar he had purchased and quickly made a cup of brown sugar water, saying, "Rongrong, drink this."
Li Rongrong felt someone supporting her and carefully feeding her the brown sugar water. Her whole body felt warm.
"Uncle Lu, it hurts so much..." She unconsciously let out a low moan. Over the past few years, whenever Li Rongrong had her period, Lu Qinian would personally take care of her. Consequently, she naturally mistook Ji Hang for Lu Qinian and instinctively leaned towards him, seeking warmth.
Ji Hang's body stiffened, and then he tightened his arms, silently pulling her into his embrace.
At the Lu residence.
The grand hall was adorned with decorations reflecting a young girl's heart. Pink balloons, colorful paper cranes, a towering birthday cake, and gifts that almost filled the entire hall...
The handsome man sat quietly in the corner, his face cold and intimidating.
The servants dared not make a sound. It was Butler Bai who mustered the courage to speak, "Young Master, Miss might still be in her tutoring session. Considering the approaching college entrance examination, it's understandable that she returned late.
In the infirmary, Li Rongrong was sleeping in Ji Hang's arms, and her complexion had improved.
Ji Hang held her quietly, looking at the girl's delicate face. His gaze grew deeper, and his Adam's apple moved slightly. He could feel Li Rongrong's soft and delicate body, and even her breath made him irresistibly drawn closer. In a moment of impulse, Ji Hang leaned in closer to the girl...
However, just as he was about to kiss her, the door suddenly swung open, and Lu Qinian appeared with a cold expression.
Before Ji Hang could react, he was kicked to the ground by one of the bodyguards!
Lu Qinian directly picked up the girl from the bed, emanating a terrifying aura. "My woman, and you dare to touch her? Didn't Ji Che warn you properly?"
Seeing the murderous look in Lu Qinian's eyes, Ji Hang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and showed a disdainful expression. "Who do you think you are? You are just her uncle. What right do you have to interfere? Even if she really listens to you, can you control her heart?"
Lu Qinian looked down at him, his voice filled with dominance. "No one besides me has the right to lay a finger on her! She belongs to me. Whoever gets close to her will die! I'll spare you this time as a favor to your elder brother, but if you dare to approach her again, you can try!" With that said, he didn't care about Ji Hang's disheveled appearance and swiftly carried Li Rongrong away.
That night, a heavy atmosphere enveloped the entire Lu residence.
In her dazed state, Li Rongrong felt the warmth emanating from the man's palm, which made her feel comfortable and sleep more peacefully. When she woke up again, she found herself lying in Lu Qinian's arms, and she was completely stunned.
