Chapter 20, Menstrual Period

Seemingly forgetting why she came to his house, Zhang Youyou happily ate steak, pasta, and KFC, leaning back in her chair and rubbing her round belly, unable to even drink water.

Li Donghao glanced at her, silently tidied the table, cleaned the kitchen, and brought her a glass of juice when he came out.

"It's freshly squeezed, have some."

Zhang Youyou tilted her head back as if to say something, but she hiccuped as soon as she opened her mouth. Li Donghao moved the juice closer to her and turned to leave.

He both loved and felt helpless about Zhang Youyou.

Zhang Youyou sat in the chair for almost an hour before recovering. After drinking most of a glass of juice, she felt much better. Just as she was about to curl up on the sofa to play games, she remembered the purpose of her visit. After mentally drafting her purpose, she knocked on the study door.

Li Donghao, who was working, got up from his chair with an impatient look on his face. When he opened the door and saw her, all his annoyance vanished instantly, leaving only his deep voice from not speaking for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

"I have something to say!" Zhang Youyou said without backing down. What a joke! If he showed weakness now, how could he continue?

Li Donghao rubbed his forehead in frustration and patiently advised her, "I'll work first, we'll talk about it later!"

“No way!” Zhang Youyou refused decisively. After saying that, he remembered that he was still pursuing his doctorate and working as a teaching assistant. Time was tight and tasks were heavy. As for his own little matter, it was insignificant and he could give way.

Swallowing hard, Zhang Youyou's voice softened considerably, "Okay, you go ahead and get busy. Remember to call me when you're done!"

Before Li Donghao could react, Zhang Youyou had already gone back to the living room, taken her things, and returned to her room. Li Donghao just stood there for a while before closing the door and continuing to work.

Back in the room, Zhang Youyou felt more relaxed than ever before. She picked up the little dinosaur lying on the bed and kissed it a few times before lying down. After a while, she realized that she hadn't brought any change of clothes, let alone pajamas, when she rushed out today. Oh no, she would have to ask him for help again!

Zhang Youyou felt that she had lost face because of Li Donghao.

Reluctantly, Zhang Youyou knocked on the study door again, pursed her lips, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Brother Donghao, could you lend me some clothes? I... I forgot to bring them!"

Li Donghao looked at her with his head down, seemingly devoid of any hope in life. He then walked past her to the bedroom and took two T-shirts, the ones he had lent her last time. He stuffed the two T-shirts into her arms and made a zipping motion near his mouth. Zhang Youyou immediately shut her mouth, hugged the T-shirts, and went back to her room.

She didn't know how long he would be busy, and she couldn't let herself suffer, so she took the white T-shirt and went to take a shower. Luckily, she still had the toiletries she had bought last time, otherwise she would have been at a loss again.

Everything proceeded smoothly until she saw bloodstains on the bath towel. She couldn't remember where she was injured, so what was this bloodstain... Zhang Youyou suddenly remembered something and realized that it was her period visiting.

Oh my god, please take her in!

She tore off a long strip of toilet paper, folded it layer upon layer, making sure it would keep her alive for three minutes before leaving the bathroom and running back to her room. She took out her phone to call a delivery person, but unfortunately, there were too few available at this time, and besides, she didn't remember his address. Helpless, she had no choice but to call Li Donghao.

This was the third time she had harassed him tonight. Li Donghao silently repeated "a life for a life" ten times before he could suppress his anger and answer the phone, though his tone was not so kind.

"What's up?"

Unlike before, this time she was soft and embarrassed, aggrieved and pitiful. Li Donghao had no choice but to hang up the phone and come out. Seeing that the bathroom was still damp, he knocked on her door. After a while, she peeked out furtively, looking as pitiful as a wronged puppy.

"What's wrong?"

Although his tone was still a bit harsh, his arrival at this moment was definitely a godsend. Zhang Youyou clung to the door frame and door panel with both hands, bent over and looked up, saying pitifully, "Brother Donghao, I, my aunt came."
