Fu Yanshen gently stroked my face in the photo with his fingertips, as if he were lingering with affection.

Yes, the person in the photo is me.

It wasn't Shi Xia who said it, but Shi Jin.

She was definitely trying to mess with my mindset back then.

Fu Yanshen's first love was me. During the last game of Truth or Dare, what he said was actually the truth.

I slowly turned my face to look at him beside me. His gaze fell on my face, his intense eyes fixed on me.

My heart skipped a beat and started pounding wildly.

"You were just jealous of yourself? Who else did you think it was... besides you, this lovable yet hateful troublemaker I can't get enough of...!"

He broke the silence, speaking in a magnetic voice, almost through gritted teeth, before turning over and kissing me.

Love and hate at the same time, unable to let go.

He poured all his feelings for me into this kiss, sometimes wild, sometimes tender, as if he wanted to devour me whole, yet also lingering and coaxing, kissing away the tears rolling down my cheeks.

The man's hot breath sprayed onto my face. "Why are you crying? Moved? Really?"

"You little devil... Back then, I had a crush on you, and you, without a care in the world, told me that you had a crush on Song Sinan in middle school, saying he was your 'white moonlight'—"

As he spoke, he kissed me fiercely again.

As I pondered his words, tears welled up in my eyes. At that time, I had actually said those things to him on purpose, wanting to test his reaction.

He said coldly at that time, "Miss, I don't want to hear such boring things."

So, he was incredibly jealous back then.

Fu Yanshen finally ended another passionate kiss, "I won't bother you anymore, go to sleep."

He turned over and lay down on his side next to me.

I turned around, buried my face deep in his chest, and closed my eyes.

"A repressed, brooding guy..." I muttered to myself.

My throat tightened again.

I never imagined that he, who was always indifferent and distant towards me, was actually secretly in love with me when he impatiently took a picture of me, and had even secretly saved a photo.

If only I had mustered the courage to look at that photo in my wallet back then...

Perhaps due to severe sleep deprivation or shock, my brain was too weak to think, so I simply stopped thinking and surrendered to the present moment, inhaling his scent and falling asleep peacefully.

...

After a long sleep, I woke up to find the room dimly lit. Looking at the unfamiliar suspended ceiling, I recalled my previous experience, and the deafening gunshots seemed to still echo in my ears.

My heart skipped a beat, "Fu Yanshen!"

In an instant, my body was pulled into a warm, firm, and reassuring embrace.

"I'm here."

The man gently stroked my back, comforting me.

A moment later, I felt a warm, wet sensation on my forehead, and a feather-light kiss landed on my lips. Instinctively, I opened my lips to meet his.

The unfamiliar, dimly lit, and not-so-spacious room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, like wildly growing algae.

The intense scent of male hormones, the passionate kisses that felt like water and milk mingling, the man's hands roaming freely over my body, sending shivers and tingling sensations wherever they touched.

The air grew hot, and I went limp, my arms wrapped around his neck. I kissed him back wantonly, arching my back to meet his kisses.

...

"Qiaoqiao, be good, okay?" The man's voice was filled with extreme restraint, and in the dim light, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

I looked at him with hazy eyes, my heart softening terribly, and driven by the desire deep within me, I instinctively wanted to agree.

At that moment, a spasmodic twisting sensation shot through my lower abdomen...

I frowned deeply. "Fu Yanshen... I, I got my period... right now, just started!"

The man's face darkened.

"Isn't it still a few days until we arrive?" he asked seriously.

The surging lust in his eyes had now subsided.

How did you know?

"It's written on my phone."

"..." This guy even remembers my menstrual cycle.

How come I never noticed before that he was so "good" at it?

My photo is still in my wallet...

Feeling the warm flow of menstrual blood, I frowned even more. "I was probably frightened, my emotions were too volatile, and I was stimulated, so it came early."

"There's nothing here... The sheets are probably dirty too, hurry up and get some paper."

As I said this, Fu Yanshen was already helping me tidy up.

A little while later, at my request, he lifted me up and put me on the toilet.

"Does this place offer takeout? Give me your phone, let me check."

Fu Yanshen stood outside the bathroom door, putting on jeans he didn't know where they came from. His bare upper body was wrapped in gauze, and he put on a white T-shirt he didn't know where he came from.

"There's no way they'll offer delivery here, but the convenience store should. I'll go buy some."

"You're going?" Would a cold and domineering CEO like him really go to buy sanitary napkins himself?

He never wanted to buy it for me before.

He raised an eyebrow. "The way you're talking makes it sound like I've never bought you anything before... You're so heartless."

Is there?

I thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered that the night he cut off Fu Ren's little finger, I returned to the ward, got my period, and instinctively called for him. Later, I mustered up the courage to order takeout.

Not long after, he tossed me a bag of sanitary napkins.

It turns out that he bought it himself.

"Don't forget to buy overnight pants, size S."

When I came to my senses, he had already disappeared. I shouted towards the door, but I don't know if he heard me.

Whether he heard it or not, he bought sleeping pants, size S, and also went to the pharmacy to buy motherwort granules.

I also bought local specialty rice noodles, as well as water-splashed rice cakes and rice noodle soup, which I had never tried before.

I was starving and couldn't wait to go out to the balcony with him to eat.

"Where's Ren? Let's invite him to eat with us."

“He refused to come.” As Fu Yanshen spoke, he put all the beef from his rice noodles into my bowl. “I’m not saying he has a problem with you. He’s changed his opinion of you a long time ago. He was just immature before.”

"He doesn't like being a third wheel."

I:"……"

I no longer have any complaints about Fu Ren. In the past, he was deceived by Shi Xia and Shi Jin. After all, they grew up together, and she considered them family.

But each one of them was more...

It's all in the past now, let's move on from them.

I focused on enjoying the food and stopped worrying about these things.

After I finished eating, I lay down and curled up on the bed, asking Fu Yanshen to find me ibuprofen.

I took the medicine, but it hasn't taken effect yet.

He hugged me from behind, his hand resting on my abdomen, gently rubbing it.

"How did it get so serious? You weren't like this before," he asked softly.

I gritted my teeth, enduring another wave of cramping pain, and only spoke after it subsided, "Fu Yanshen, I didn't actually have menstrual cramps before, I was just faking it..."

She was pretending to want his attention.

I wanted him to rub my stomach, and he told me to take painkillers. Later, he remembered that and often rubbed it for me.

As it turns out, painkillers are the most effective treatment.

He paused for a moment, then slowly resumed his kneading. "Now...isn't it—"

"This problem started after the miscarriage," I blurted out.
