Chapter 84: The Machine Without Feelings
Chapter 84
Rong Dai sat dazed on the toilet for nearly half an hour. Her legs gradually became a little numb, and the key was that her lower abdomen hurt.
The cramps made her limbs weak and her body very soft.
She just wanted to lie down on the bed, preferably with a maid pressing on her lower abdomen.
In her previous life, she was also in agony every time she had her period. She didn't expect it to still be like this in this life.
Rong Dai remained silent as she felt the surge in a certain place, a thin layer of fine sweat already emerging on her forehead.
"Rong Dai?"
Huo Shao Ting found all the dramas she needed to watch on the computer and saved them all to the desktop for her.
But there was no sound from the bathroom for a long time, so he couldn't help worrying.
Her foot injury hadn't completely healed yet.
The bathroom was slippery, he was afraid she would fall, so he knocked on the door and called out.
Hearing the knock, Rong Dai's whole body jerked!
She suddenly straightened her back, her face panicked and anxious!
She hurriedly stammered back to him, "I...I'll be done soon, you...wait a little longer."
After speaking, she looked around the bathroom, trying to find something to pad with first.
She didn't know what modern women used during their periods, which was her biggest dilemma.
Rong Dai was on the verge of tears, how could she be so muddled?
How could she have forgotten such an important thing?
She should have looked up this kind of thing on her phone earlier. Now her phone wasn't with her either, and Huo Shao Ting was right outside the door.
Huo Shao Ting heard her panicked and stuttering voice, and couldn't help frowning. This didn't sound right.
"Are you...having your period?"
He calculated the time, it was early in the month now. A woman's physiology should have arrived. He hesitantly asked.
After asking, although his face was expressionless, his earlobes were still a little hot and red.
Although this was not something that could not be talked about, it still felt a little awkward.
When Rong Dai heard his sudden question, her cheeks were deathly pale with a hint of blush. Her palms were sweating.
It took her a few seconds to react and realize this was probably the modern term.
After a period of intense inner struggle, Rong Dai replied to him, "Yes...yes."
After answering, she was a little relieved, but her cheeks became hot and red.
In her previous life, such things were seen as filthy by men, so women had to tiptoe around them carefully.
They couldn't even talk about it, otherwise they would be seen as immoral.
She had just told Huo Shao Ting about this, what would he think?
Rong Dai's heart was seized with worry again. Hearing no movement from outside the door for a long time.
She even unconsciously slowed her breathing. Could it be that he was really angry?
"Shao...Shao Ting?"
She swallowed and cautiously called out nervously, but got no response from him.
Now she was done for!
Rong Dai's heart plummeted, like being doused from head to toe with cold water!
Her hands and feet turned icy cold again and again, and her complexion was ghastly pale.
Half of it was due to abdominal pain, and half was due to her unease.
She should not have answered him, but now she was stuck...
After hearing her words, Huo Shao Ting started looking around in the bedroom.
Although he knew women had periods, he didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing.
After hesitating in the bedroom for a while, he went out to find Huo Mei Shu, of course unable to hear Rong Dai's voice.
"Big brother? Is something the matter?"
Huo Mei Shu had forgotten to lock the door and was cleaning up the mess in the room.
Suddenly hearing the door open, she looked up to see her big brother with a strange expression on his face. She couldn't help swallowing and asked him apprehensively.
Huo Shao Ting pursed his lips, his eyes very deep, making his mood unreadable.
He closed the door with one hand, standing still in thought.
Seeing him silent for so long with a twisted and weird expression, Huo Mei Shu's heart inexplicably jumped to her throat. She unconsciously took two steps back.
Could big brother be here to settle accounts after autumn?
She almost cried. If she had known her big brother held such a grudge, she would have...it seemed too late to say anything now.
"Your sister-in-law is having her period during her bath. I couldn't find anything to use."
After struggling for a bit, Huo Shao Ting looked up at her, his face as cold as ever, but his ears were suspiciously red.
Huo Mei Shu: "???"
She thought she had misheard. Her big brother, who normally dealt with billions in business, could actually ask such a question?!
"So big brother you came to ask me to get sanitary pads for sister-in-law?"
A few seconds later, Huo Mei Shu finally reacted, squinting at him with a hint of ridicule in her eyes.
Huo Shao Ting frowned, his face growing colder: "Do you not want that private concert anymore? Or do you think I have time to waste talking to you here?"
Huo Mei Shu immediately pouted. This was still her ruthless big brother!
Threatening her with money at the slightest disagreement!
"Why are you, a grown man, getting involved in this? I'll just bring it to sister-in-law."
Although she was happy to see her big brother and sister-in-law's good relationship, such matters were still awkward for girls to talk about openly, not every girl was as open-minded as her.
"She's taking a bath." Huo Shao Ting said lightly.
Huo Mei Shu frowned in confusion. "So?"
The man looked at her solemnly: "So you can't go in."
Huo Mei Shu: "???"
Was this gender discrimination? But she was a woman!
"She's my wife."
Seemingly seeing through her thoughts, Huo Shao Ting mercilessly continued attacking her.
Huo Mei Shu: "......"
Hahahahaha...
In her heart, countless little people immediately laughed coldly.
"What about sister-in-law's underwear?"
Huo Mei Shu laughed drily and made hand gestures while asking him.
"Just give me the things."
"Oh."
Huo Mei Shu said dispiritedly.
What a heartless big brother!
"These are for day use, these are night ones, these are pads."
"You can just give them to sister-in-law, she'll know how to use them anyway."
Huo Mei Shu directly gave him several packs, thoughtfully distinguishing them for him.
"Okay, I transferred the money to you, is 10,000 enough?"
Huo Shao Ting took the things while retrieving his phone, thinking about something else in his mind.
Recalling Rong Dai's bizarre words and behavior recently, his eyes were deep as he looked at the sanitary pads in his hand. She might not even know how to use these.
Huo Mei Shu: "......"
Were these made of gold?
He was being so generous, why not just smash her with billions?
Seeing her silent, Huo Shao Ting left with the things.
Looking at the 10,000 yuan transfer in her phone, Huo Mei Shu felt half crying, half laughing.
But at the same time, she also breathed a sigh of relief. Big brother seemed to be starting to learn how to care for others.
