Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Good Deed He Did

“I just want to take a look,” he said, all curiosity. “Where does the blood come from? How much is there? Why don’t women die from bleeding seven days every month?”

If it were an injury, bleeding non-stop would mean no survival after a day.

In that sense, women really are a miraculous species.

He Jingyao gazed at her seriously, as if she were some rare specimen.

Su Zixi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“You’re not allowed to look!” Su Zixi desperately clutched the blanket, “You should know where the blood comes from…”

“Hmm?” He Jingyao looked at her inquiringly.

Su Zixi’s face turned beet red as she held it in, “Because… that place is where you’ve been!”

The man raised an eyebrow slightly and after a moment, he chuckled lowly, his voice husky as he said, “I see.”

“You should go to your meeting now!” Su Zixi glared at him, “I need to sleep! Considering how much blood I’m losing, shouldn’t I get some good rest?”

“Makes sense.” He Jingyao nodded, “What do you need right now? I’ll go get it for you.”

“I… I just want to sleep.” Su Zixi, with just her eyes visible, said, “As long as you don’t come and disturb me tonight.”

He Jingyao saw her guarded expression and couldn’t help but laugh.

He reached out to ruffle her fluffy head, “Alright. I’ll give you the day off starting tomorrow, goodnight.”

Su Zixi dared not object and just nodded obediently.

He Jingyao chuckled, leaned in to kiss her forehead, then stood up to leave.

When he closed the door, he was careful to turn off the light for her.

The room fell into darkness again.

Hidden under the blankets, Su Zixi thought about everything that had just happened and couldn’t help but giggle secretly.

It seemed… she could no longer deny what was in her heart… she had fallen for this man.

In fact, liking him was the most natural and logical thing…

******

The next day.

When Su Zixi woke up, she felt exhausted and weak all over.

There seemed to be a warm flow emanating from a certain part of her body…@@novelbin@@

She immediately realized what had happened and was somewhat speechless… Just yesterday she had lied to He Jingyao about having her period, and today it had actually arrived, really honoring her claim.

She quickly got up, rolled to the bathroom to clean up… When she looked in the mirror, she noticed her lips were somewhat swollen.

Could it be that her lips were still swollen from being kissed last night… Su Zixi thought with a flushed face.

After getting ready, Su Zixi left her room and headed downstairs to the dining room, where Uncle Li greeted her with a smile, “Young Mistress, good morning.”

“Uncle Li, good morning,” Su Zixi said cheerily, and glanced around the dining room. Not seeing He Jingyao, she asked knowingly, “Did Jingyao go for morning exercise?”

“The young master has already gone to the company,” Uncle Li said with a chuckle, “Young Mistress, it’s already ten o’clock.”

Su Zixi’s eyes widened in shock! She couldn’t believe she had slept until this hour, how embarrassing…

Perhaps sensing her discomfort, Uncle Li said with a smile, “The young master mentioned you are going through a special time, so I had the kitchen prepare red date porridge for you, as well as food to replenish your blood and energy. Please enjoy your meal.”

Since she was already embarrassed, she could only thank him with a red face and then bury her head in eating the red date porridge…

After a while, she suddenly remembered something, “… Did Jingyao come to my room this morning?”

“That’s right,” Uncle Li said with a smile.

Su Zixi’s heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t help touching her still somewhat sore lips… No wonder they were swollen when she woke up, it must have been his doing…
