After Ye Ruan changed her clothes, she was about to wash the soiled garments when a knock sounded at the door. "Ye Ruan, are you done?"
Ye Ruan opened the bathroom door, a hint of panic still on her face. "It's all done."
Only then did she notice that Gu Chen had put on an apron again. The black apron perfectly outlined Gu Chen's figure, and the tied apron straps gave his narrow waist an indescribable sexiness.
"I made you some brown sugar ginger soup, go and have some first." Gu Chen reached out and affectionately patted Ye Ruan's head.
Ye Ruan looked slightly embarrassed. "I'll wash the clothes first."
Although Gu Chen's expression was gentle, his tone left no room for argument as he said, "Go drink the ginger soup, I'll take care of the washing."
Ye Ruan blushed as she looked at the clothes that had just been soaking in the basin. She instinctively wanted to refuse, but Gu Chen didn't give her a chance to speak. "From now on, when your period comes, I will do all the housework, whether it's washing clothes, cooking, or anything else. You can't touch cold water."
A strange feeling washed over Ye Ruan.
In her memory, those few days each month were no different from any other day; she did whatever she was supposed to do.
Even when she first came at the age of thirteen, she was still doing underwater training and spent those days in the water.
Although the medical skills she learned during her training made her understand the structure of the human body, they also made her understand that if a girl catches a cold during her period, it can leave her with chronic illnesses.
But what's more terrifying than leaving behind a chronic illness is losing your life.
If she relaxed during those days, her companions would pounce on her like hungry wolves and tear her to shreds at any moment.
At Gu Chen's insistence, she endured the excruciating pain in her lower abdomen and silently walked to the dining table. On the table was a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup that Gu Chen had just cooked, still steaming hot at the perfect temperature.
The brown sugar ginger soup went down my esophagus into my stomach, and the warmth traveled from my heart all the way to my lower abdomen.
The pain that had tormented her for years seemed to have lessened.
When Gu Chen returned after hanging up the clothes, he saw her sitting at the dining table, her face pale.
He frowned slightly, walked over and picked her up in his arms, only to find that her hands and feet were ice cold.
His dark, deep eyes were filled with heartache. "Does it hurt a lot? Do you need to take some medicine?"
Ye Ruan gently shook her head in his arms.
He placed her on the bed, lay down beside her, and put his large hand on her lower abdomen.
Ye Ruan's body stiffened involuntarily, and a warm current flowed through her body, warming her limbs and bones. The pain in her lower abdomen was no longer so unbearable.
That night, Gu Chen's body heat was constantly transferred to Ye Ruan. Ye Ruan fell asleep for the first time on the first night of her period in his warm embrace, and she slept very soundly.
In her dreams, she was no longer enveloped by cold lake water, but by warm sunshine and vast fields of flowers.
The next day, when she woke up, she opened her eyes and met Gu Chen's gentle and deep gaze. Gu Chen lowered his head and affectionately kissed her forehead, saying softly, "Sleep a little longer, I'll bring you breakfast later."
As he spoke, Gu Chen stood up. Ye Ruan watched as he gracefully buttoned the second button of his shirt. The well-tailored handmade shirt perfectly outlined his broad shoulders and narrow waist, revealing his innate aloof and noble temperament.
If Ye Ruan hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to believe that such a seemingly otherworldly man would cook, and be such a skilled cook at that.
After last night, Ye Ruan's most difficult time was over. She originally wanted to get up, but her body had its own ideas. Lying in bed was too comfortable, and her body didn't want to move at all.
Realizing this, Ye Ruan gave a self-deprecating laugh.
She had been in training camps since she was a child. Over the years, she had not only always been self-sufficient, but also had to be on guard against someone who wanted her dead. She had never been so lazy before.
But now, after being with Gu Chen for less than two months, she finds herself wanting to stay in bed all morning without moving.
Just as she was lost in thought, a sweet aroma began to waft from the kitchen.
Gu Chen first went to the bedroom, took a small table and put it on the bed, and then went back to the kitchen to get breakfast: two sandwiches, two eggs, a cup of hot milk, and a bowl of brown sugar glutinous rice.
Gu Chen placed the bowl of brown sugar fermented rice in front of Ye Ruan and said in a gentle voice, "I tried the brown sugar ginger soup last night, and it wasn't very good. The brown sugar fermented rice I made for you this morning will taste better."
Ye Ruan took a spoon and scooped up some bright red brown sugar glutinous rice from the bowl and put it in her mouth. The temperature was just right, and the warmth went into her stomach. A feeling of happiness spread through her heart, filling it to the brim, almost overflowing.
Gu Chen didn't go to the company that day either. The two of them stayed at home together, reading books, watching movies and TV series, and chatting occasionally. Nothing special happened, but Ye Ruan felt that life was peaceful and serene.
A thought unconsciously arose in her mind: it might be nice to live like this with Gu Chen forever.
But the moment that thought popped into her head, she suppressed it. Putting the mission aside, Gu Chen was also one of the culprits who caused her parents' deaths.
If she's just putting on an act with Gu Chen to complete a mission, her brother can accept it. But if she's really fallen for Gu Chen and wants to be with him, her brother won't forgive her!
Ye Ruan's interview for a tutor position at the Su family's house was originally scheduled for Sunday.
But because she was in a lot of pain that day, Gu Chen called the Su family and postponed the job interview to the weekend of the following week.
The following weekend, Gu Chen escorted her to the gate of the Su family home, but she refused to let Gu Chen accompany her inside.
The Su family manor's appearance is somewhat similar to the Si family's castle, except that the Su family's wrought iron fence and European-style gate are pure white, and various colored roses are also climbing on the fence.
Across the street from the Su family manor was another similar manor. Gu Chen told her that it was his house, and if she wanted, she could live there in the future.
Ye Ruan shook her head and refused.
She doesn't like living in big houses; small houses make her feel safer.
When Su Nianqiao heard the maid say that she had arrived, she unusually came out of the villa to greet her.
The young boy today is a little different from the young boy who was with Su Yifan in the castle last week.
Today, the little boy was dressed casually, with his hands in his pockets, looking cool. Although his lips curled up wildly when he saw her, he tried his best to put on an arrogant and aloof expression.
