Xu Shanshan looked at Tian Lingling, her palms slowly beginning to sweat. She clenched her hands and lowered her head.
"Doctor Li, my face is so tanned. Do you have any medicine that can whiten my skin?" Zhou Yunxia looked at Li Xiyue's glowing white face and was sure that she must have applied something to make her skin so white.
Li Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there is, but it's quite troublesome to develop."
In later life, she put a lot of effort into whitening and skin care, and developed many Chinese herbal skin care products, all of which were very effective. She was willing to use good medicines, so naturally the prices were not cheap.
"Please help me develop one. I don't want to become a black girl." Zhou Yunxia said.
That kid Chen Yu is already better looking than her. If she is also darker than him, wouldn’t she be far inferior to him?
Huang Xinrui's eyes lit up, "Yueyue, I want one too."
Li Xiyue took precautions in advance, "It will use a lot of Chinese medicinal herbs, so the price won't be cheap."
"Am I short of money?" Huang Xinrui was complacent.
Although she is not as rich as Yueyue, she still has enough money.
"I have money too." Zhou Yunxia raised her hand.
In the past, she would never have had the spare money to buy skin care products, but now she and her brother have made a lot of money and are not short of money.
In order to become whiter and to surpass that boy Chen Yu, she would spend any money she could.
Li Xiyue looked at the two of them with a smile, "Okay, I'll help you develop it when I'm free."
Xu Shanshan was awakened by stomach pain in her sleep. She got up and went to the bathroom, and found that her period had come.
This month her stomach seemed to hurt more than usual. She held her stomach with one hand and held the door frame with the other. The pain was unbearable and cold sweat soon wet her back.
"Xu Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?" Huang Xinrui happened to come out to the bathroom and saw her.
Xu Shanshan's face turned pale. "That's coming."
Wang Jiaxing heard the noise and opened the door, "Xinrui, what's wrong?"
"It's okay." Huang Xinrui waved her hand and let him into the house.
Wang Jiaxing glanced at Xu Shanshan and went back.
"Your stomach hurts again?" Huang Xinrui knew that she would have stomach pain during her period, so she walked over to her and supported her. "Come in and lie down."
After she went into the room and lay down, Huang Xinrui poured her a cup of hot water and took out a painkiller. "Take the medicine, you'll feel better."
Xu Shanshan was in so much pain that she took the medicine and drank it with hot water. As the hot water went down her throat, her body began to warm up. With red eyes, she said, "Thank you, Huang Zhiqing."
"It's nothing." Huang Xinrui put down the water cup, lay back down, and whispered, "You're having your period. Do you want Yunxia to ask for leave for you tomorrow?"
Xu Shanshan shook her head. "Taking leave will deduct work points, so I'd better not take it."
"Xu Zhiqing, you have to be nicer to yourself. How can you go to work when you feel so uncomfortable?" Huang Xinrui couldn't help but persuade him.
Xu Shanshan wrapped herself tightly in the quilt. Despite the scorching heat, she felt cold all over. Her voice was filled with sadness. "Anyway, no one cares about me."
"Who says no one cares about you? Zhou Zhiqing really does care about you."
Thinking of Zhou Yunze, Xu Shanshan felt a little warm in her heart. He was indeed very good to her and would help her when she was bullied, but she knew her own limitations.
Zhou Yunze is good-looking and has a good character, so dazzling, but she is not worthy of standing next to him at all.
"Even if no one cares, you still have to take care of yourself. How can you be so harsh on yourself?"
Xu Shanshan spoke with a heavy nasal voice. "Huang Zhiqing, I'm not like you guys. You have family and friends who love and care for you. No one has loved me since I was born. Even my parents hate me and wish they had never given birth to me. People like me don't deserve to be loved by others, nor do they deserve to live a good life."
"Nonsense!" Huang Xinrui raised her voice. Zhou Yunxia beside her moved, and she quickly covered her mouth.
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one woke the others, she lowered her voice and continued, "It's not your fault that your family doesn't like you, it's their problem. You have a good personality, a kind heart, and don't take advantage of others. Compared to most people, you're already very good. Why don't you deserve to be liked by others? Why don't you deserve to live a good life?"
Xu Shanshan's eyes lit up. Is she really that good?
"In my opinion, you're much better than Xue Min and Tian Lingling." Huang Xinrui leaned close to her ear and said, "It's you, too weak. When others bully you, you should learn to resist. That way, others will know you're not someone to be bullied, and they'll be afraid of you and respect you."
"I'm scared..." Xu Shanshan said tremblingly.
Huang Xinrui asked, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of getting into trouble and bringing trouble to your family? They don't care about you, so why do you still care about them?"
"What if they hit me?"
"If they hit you, you hit them harder. Haven't you heard the saying? The strong are afraid of the strong, and the strong are afraid of the desperate. If you beat them once, they won't dare to bully you again."
Yueyue said this, and she did what she did. As long as someone dared to bully her, she would beat them in one go. If one time didn't work, she would try twice, and she would always be able to beat them in one go.
Yueyue is beautiful and rich. Is there anyone in the whole team who dares to take advantage of her?
If Yueyue hadn't been so ruthless, he would have been eaten to the bone.
"But if I hurt someone and I don't have money to pay, won't that cause trouble?"
At home, being beaten and scolded had become a habit, and submitting to everything had become an instinct. She didn't dare to resist at all, fearing that the situation would get worse.
"If you don't have the money to pay, just keep the debt. It's better than being bullied all the time." Huang Xinrui reminded her, "Yunxia caused so much trouble back then, and owed a lot of debts. Now she has paid it off. The villagers are afraid of Yunxia and dare not mess with her at all."
Xu Shanshan knew this. Now even those two troublemakers didn't dare to provoke Zhou Yunxia because Zhou Yunxia had been ruthless to others.
Xu Shanshan seemed to have gained strength in her heart. She relaxed both physically and mentally, and her stomachache went away. She didn't know if it was because the medicine was effective or because she was no longer nervous.
Huang Xinrui yawned and said, "Think about it carefully. I'm going to sleep. I have classes tomorrow."
"Huang Zhiqing, thank you." Xu Shanshan was very grateful.
Huang Xinrui helped her today and said so much to her. She really wanted to be good to her.
Zhou Yunze cares about her, and Huang Xinrui also cares about her. She is not a waste that no one cares about.
Huang Xinrui waved her hand, "It's a small matter."
That night, Xu Shanshan slept extremely soundly.
The next morning, everyone got up. Xu Shanshan felt that her stomachache was gone, but she still did not ask for leave and went to work as usual.
"Yueyue, I'm going to the commune to take care of some things today and will be back in the evening."
Li Xiyue responded with a smile, holding his hand and said with a smile: "Then come back early."
"Okay." Chu Xun gently pinched the tip of her nose, "Be careful when you go up the mountain to collect herbs."
After everyone left, Li Xiyue prepared to go up the mountain with a backpack. On the way, she met Tian Lingling who was going to work. She accidentally smelled a strange smell on her and frowned.
