Chapter 28: Kissed Him

“What?” Chen Yi got out of the car, handed the driver the fare, and turned to walk into the school.

“Sanitary napkins…” Sheng Yize cleared his throat lightly. “How do you buy them?”

“What?” Chen Yi stopped in his tracks.

A minute later.

It turned out it was for Sang Sui.

Chen Yi remained silent for a few seconds, then awkwardly cleared his throat. “Well, I don’t know either, I’ve never bought any. Maybe you can ask Zou Jing?”

Thinking about Zou Jing’s flamboyant peacock-like behavior, Sheng Yize furrowed his brows.

“Forget it, he probably won’t know either.”

“Right.” Chen Yi sighed. “If Zou Jing had changed his personality after going to Thailand, we could probably ask him how to buy sanitary napkins by now.”

“…”

None of them had any real answers.

“Hang up.” Sheng Yize ended the call.

Suddenly thinking of something, he walked over to a nearby bench, sat down, and pulled out his phone. He opened the browser and typed into the search bar:

“How to buy sanitary napkins?”

The webpage instantly displayed various methods and guides for choosing sanitary napkins.

Sheng Yize narrowed his eyes and focused on reading carefully:

“First, choose the material. The best material is cotton, which prevents dampness and heat during hot weather.”

“Second, consider breathability. Try to choose napkins with breathable materials. A good sanitary napkin should have a top layer, an inner core, and a bottom film made of breathable materials, as these are the ones that prevent infections and allergies.”

“Third, hygiene index. Before purchasing, check the hygiene permit number and anti-counterfeit labels to avoid buying counterfeit or substandard products. The safest method is to choose a well-known brand…”

Reading to this point, his eyes sharpened.

Which brands are the best for sanitary napkins?

Sheng Yize quickly typed this phrase into the search bar again, and the page displayed a list of brands.

“Whisper, Kotex, Sophie…”

…

Ten minutes later.

Sheng Yize confidently arrived at the school supermarket’s sanitary napkin shelf, only to be stunned by the array of sanitary napkins of various brands and types.

He stood with his hands on his hips, furrowing his brow, unsure of what to choose.

The sales assistant, noticing his difficulty, approached and asked, “You want to buy sanitary napkins, right?”

Sheng Yize glanced at her, his ears turning slightly red as he nodded.

“Is it for your girlfriend?”

“No.”

“?”

“For me.”

“…”

The sales assistant was surprised. She opened her mouth and scanned him from head to toe.

He looked a bit like a man, but still, he wasn’t exactly a woman.

Sheng Yize clenched his fist and coughed a few times, then explained, “Well, since we’re having military training, I thought I could buy some to use as insoles.”

“…”

The sales assistant glanced him over again, finally landing her gaze on his feet, where he wore leather shoes.

He looked to be a size 40.

The sales assistant directly picked up a pack and said confidently, “Size 40, night use. This will be enough.”

Sheng Yize took it, dumbfounded.

Size 40… was that too long?

The sales assistant continued to grab more packs, all of them size 40 for night use.

Seeing that he was still dazed, she asked, “Isn’t that enough? How many of you are there?”

Before he could respond, the sales assistant dumped all the size 40 napkins from the shelf into his cart.

After she finished, she winked and said, “Don’t worry, I get it.”

“…”

---

Sheng Yize felt like he was losing his mind.

When he paid for the huge bag of sanitary napkins and brought them back to the medical office, he felt as though he had been struck by lightning.

When he arrived at the medical office, the doctor was not there, but Sang Sui was sleeping inside.

He walked past the door, holding the bag.

After taking medicine and getting an IV, he felt much better.

Sang Sui was a light sleeper. She heard the rustling sound and slowly woke up.

She opened her eyes and saw Sheng Yize standing at her bedside holding a very large black bag. He was dressed in white clothes and black pants, looking like a disheveled rich man who had just picked up trash.

He stared awkwardly at her.

Sang Sui was surprised and slowly sat up. “You… where did you go?”

“I bought you something.”

Sang Sui’s gaze landed on the big bag, her finger pointing at it. “Is it this bag?”

“Yeah.”

What did he buy that was so big, and so many?

It looked like it could weigh dozens of pounds!

Hmm, it’s actually quite light.

Sang Sui opened it and was suddenly shocked by what she saw.

Inside, it was all sanitary napkins!

And they were all 40cm long night-use sanitary napkins!

All of them!

There were a full 50 packs!

Sang Sui’s mouth twitched as she looked at him. “You…”

She didn’t know how to describe it, worried about hurting his pride, so she changed the subject, “Is this part of some promotion?”

“No, I bought them directly.”

“I don’t need this many.”

“You’ll need them later.”

“…”

Sang Sui flipped through them again, trying to make herself accept these fifty packs of sanitary napkins.

…

They were all 40cm long night-use ones, what kind of physique did she have that required daytime 40cm night-use sanitary napkins?

Sang Sui’s temple throbbed slightly as she raised her face to look at him.

Sheng Yize noticed she didn’t seem happy and furrowed his brows. “Isn’t it suitable?”

“Do you know how long 40cm is?”

“I know.”

“Then why did you buy them?”

“The sales assistant said they’re good.”

“……”

---

Ten minutes later.

Sheng Yize sat in the medical office, his hand pressing against his temple, his gaze fixed on the bathroom door.

It had been ten minutes since Sang Sui went in to freshen up, and she still hadn’t come out.

Thinking about her expression when she went in, Sheng Yize vaguely felt she was not happy with the sanitary napkins he bought for her.

He furrowed his brows, took out his phone, and called Chen Yi.

Chen Yi, who had just returned to school, answered. “What’s up?”

Sheng Yize coughed, “What do you think…”

“What?”

“Is 40cm long?”

“Well, it depends on what it is.”

“?”

“Some things can be long, some things can’t.”

“…”

“What are you talking about?”

“Sanitary napkins.”

“You bought 40cm ones?”

“Yeah.” Sheng Yize felt increasingly embarrassed the more he thought about it. “That girl seems to think 40cm…”

Before he could finish his sentence, loud laughter erupted from the phone.

Sheng Yize frowned. “Who’s laughing?”

On the other end, Lin Luoluo’s voice came through. “Sheng Xuechang, you bought 40cm long sanitary napkins for Sui Sui?!”

Sheng Yize: “…………”

“Beep beep beep—”

Chen Yi ended the call, realizing he shouldn’t have laughed.

Immediately, Lin Luoluo stopped laughing, covering her mouth with her hand. She cleared her throat and said seriously, “Well, a long thing makes a short thing better, it’s, uh, good.”

---

Five minutes later.

Sang Sui still hadn’t come out of the bathroom.

What’s taking her so long?

He didn’t feel embarrassed, so why should she?

Sheng Yize walked over to the door and knocked, “Sang Sui?”

No answer.

He knocked again.

Still no answer.

Sheng Yize’s eyes tightened, and with one forceful motion, he slammed the bathroom door open—

Sang Sui was collapsed on the bathroom floor.

“Sang Sui!” Sheng Yize quickly rushed over and picked her up in a bridal carry.

Dazed, Sang Sui felt herself being lifted, surrounded by warmth, and found herself in a familiar embrace.

She slowly opened her eyes, seeing Sheng Yize’s familiar handsome face, his scent of cedar filling the air.

It was intoxicating, like poppy flowers—fragrant and captivating.

Sang Sui couldn’t help but reach up and tug at his neck, rubbing her face against his.

As she turned her face, her soft lips unexpectedly brushed against his neck—

The man stiffened immediately.
