Chapter 550 - 538: Secret Recipe Medicine!
"Aunt Flo?"
Hearing Qin Fan’s words, Jiang Yino instantly froze on camera, followed by a wave of embarrassment that brought a deep blush to her face.
Aunt Flo... How did Qin Fan know my period had arrived?
Subconsciously, the mortified Jiang Yino blurted out, "How did you know?"
"You definitely wouldn’t believe me if I said it was telepathy, so let’s just ignore how I know. Yino, how are you feeling?"
In his past life, Qin Fan knew that Jiang Yino had suffered from menstrual cramps every month while they were dating. Right now, however, he wasn’t sure if she had that tendency yet. Although he was asking, he already had the curative elixir stored away, just waiting to be delivered to her.
"It must have been Ruanqin! That little brat must have told you! Definitely. That’s so uncool of her. How could she tell a guy about something like this!" Ignoring the question about her discomfort, Jiang Yino fumed, her face flushing. Then, with growing embarrassment, she added, "Qin Fan, can we please not talk about such sensitive topics!"
"No. Tell me, does it hurt?" Qin Fan asked, his expression serious.
"It hurts!"
After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Yino bit her lip and confessed, her face burning, "The conditions in my high school dorm weren’t great, and we often didn’t have hot water. I had to take cold showers a few times during my period, and that’s probably the root of the problem. Now, I’m tortured for several days every month!"
After saying this, Jiang Yino suddenly felt it was highly inappropriate and became even more mortified. Her face turned so red she wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it. "Oh my! What’s wrong with me? Why am I telling you all this!"
"Yino, I have a secret remedy that can cure it. I’ll bring it to you in a bit!" Qin Fan said, his voice full of concern, not minding her embarrassment in the slightest.
He was also secretly glad that he had run into Du Ruanqing buying sanitary pads. Otherwise, he would have definitely forgotten about this.
"A secret remedy? A curative secret remedy? Am I hearing you right?" Jiang Yino was stunned.
"You heard right. I’ll come find you later! So... want to watch me take a shower? Hmm? I can set the camera to panoramic view!" Qin Fan teased, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
"Ugh! Shameless! Okay, I won’t disturb your shower! I’m hanging up now. Remember to make the water hotter, got it? See you later!"
Hearing sounds from the bathroom, she figured Ou Mingsi was about to come out. After hastily finishing what she had to say, the flustered Jiang Yino quickly hung up.
Just as she did, Ou Mingsi walked out of the bathroom. Seeing Jiang Yino’s beet-red face, she blurted out, "Yino, what’s wrong with your face? Don’t tell me the blood from your period has rushed all the way up to your head?"
"Pfft! As if blood from a period can rush to your face! I was just bundled up in my blanket. It’s hot! I’m hot!" Jiang Yino shot her a glare and laughed off the tease.
"Hot? You can get that red just from a blanket?" Ou Mingsi muttered doubtfully, eyeing Jiang Yino’s bed with suspicion.
Seeing this, Jiang Yino knew she had to drop the subject. She pulled the blanket up a little higher. Until the sanitary pads arrived, she didn’t dare move an inch.
「Men’s Dormitory 708.」
The door was shoved open, and a raucous voice immediately echoed through the room. "Big Bro! Big Bro! Big Bro!"
"What’s all the yelling about! I’m in the shower!" Qin Fan shouted back from the bathroom upon hearing Li Yunzhe’s clamor.
"Hehe! Big Bro, do you need someone to scrub your back or anything?" Hearing Qin Fan was in the shower, Li Yunzhe immediately rushed to the bathroom door and asked with a sheepish, fawning grin.
What the heck? Scrub my back? What in the world!
"Shut your mouth and get lost!" Qin Fan snapped irritably. He speechlessly grabbed a towel and began to dry himself off.
Despite Qin Fan’s rebuke, Li Yunzhe just smirked obsequiously. "Right, Big Bro. I’ll just sit here and wait for you to come out!"
Qin Fan couldn’t be bothered to respond. He slowly got dressed.
By the time he came out of the bathroom, Wang Dalu and Zhu Houqing had returned with breakfast.
"Holy crap! Big Bad Wolf, did you buy this breakfast?" Zhu Houqing immediately started teasing when he saw the food on the table next to Li Yunzhe.
"Morning, Brother Qing, Brother Lu. Uh, erm, yeah. I bought it!" Li Yunzhe said awkwardly, flustered by the nickname "Big Bad Wolf."
If it were anyone else in any other place, "Wolf Bro" would have definitely exploded. But faced with the tough guys of Dorm 708, even he—a scion of a Martial Arts Family who could take on five opponents at once—had to tuck his tail between his legs.
"Not cool, man. You only bought one breakfast? Sucking up to our Number Four, are we? Tsk, tsk! I never realized you had such a talent for being a lackey," Wang Dalu also threw in a few snide remarks.
To be honest, neither Wang Dalu nor Zhu Houqing was particularly fond of the guy. They couldn’t stand his arrogant attitude, which was like something out of the Eastern Factory. They had been intimidated by his overbearing aura on registration day, but they never expected him to have such a sycophantic side.
"Alright, that’s enough! Any more and Wolf Bro will have no face left to show!" Qin Fan said, emerging from the bathroom. He grabbed the bread Li Yunzhe had bought, took a bite, and spoke while chewing.
"Ahem, Brother Qing, Brother Lu, I think I need to clarify something. Am I the kind of guy who pinches pennies? It’s just that I only had a little loose change on me!" Li Yunzhe hurriedly explained, sensing their hostility.
"Get lost!" Wang Dalu scoffed.
"Ever heard of a little thing called QR code payments?" Zhu Houqing sneered.
"Holy crap! My brain must have short-circuited! I checked my pockets, saw I only had a few coins, and that’s why I only bought one serving!" Li Yunzhe said, utterly mortified.
"Come on, it’s not a big deal! What’s with the drama? Number Two, Number Three, what are you staring at me for? Eat up!" Qin Fan shook his head helplessly and started sipping his milk.
After shooting Li Yunzhe a disdainful look, and prompted by Qin Fan’s words, the other two finally dropped it and put their own breakfast on the table.
"Big Bro, any plans for today? Can I tag along?"
For someone as thick-skinned as him, embarrassment and shame were fleeting emotions, born in one instant and gone in the next. As the topic shifted, Li Yunzhe looked at Qin Fan with a fawning expression, his eyes full of anticipation.
Clearly, the trip to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea had solidified Li Yunzhe’s determination to ride Qin Fan’s coattails from now on.
"No! And cut the crap. If you’ve got nothing to do, call the boss, see if he needs your help with anything, and go assist him," Qin Fan said.
However, just as Qin Fan finished speaking...
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!
A sudden rush of frantic footsteps echoed from the hallway outside.
A few seconds later, the doorway of Dorm 708 was completely gridlocked by a crowd of people.
