Just the thought of Jian Anning fainting by the roadside today gives him a scare!
Thankfully, it happened inside the studio, where everyone is familiar, and there aren’t cars coming and going. But if she had collapsed by the roadside, what would have happened?
"I was just thinking... buying sanitary pads is something I can’t ask someone else to do. Besides, you were filming at that time..."
Jian Anning explained in a small voice, "Especially since my schedule is a bit irregular lately. According to my usual timing, my period should have come next week, but unexpectedly, it came early, so..."
The more she explained, the worse Yu Zexiao felt.
How could he not know that the reason Jian Anning’s diet and sleep are irregular, and she caught a cold last night, is because he took her to the island last night?
Jian Anning has always been that kind of person. As long as he likes it, even if it’s difficult for her, she will generally follow her heart.
Thinking about Vincent’s accusation earlier, he felt afraid.
Lately, what he fears most is people pointing out that he is—immature and unstable!
Especially with Situ Xuan and Lu Jiayuan as comparisons—either one of them seems to be as elegant as the wind, and they handle things with steadiness. Lu Jiayuan might not have Situ Xuan’s commanding presence, but he naturally appears as the gentle neighborly brother, easily gaining others’ goodwill.
At first, he thought as a big star falling for a small assistant, Jian Anning should be secretly delighted. But now, looking at it, that’s not the case at all!
Due to his cleanliness obsession, he can’t accept other women; apart from Jian Anning, there’s no other option available. But Jian Anning is different; she’s surrounded by various types of men.
If they were to part ways, Jian Anning could quickly find other alternatives, while he’d be left biting his fingers in a corner drawing circles, feeling anxious just thinking about it!
"So, did you buy the sanitary pads?" Yu Zexiao thought for a moment and immediately asked.
"Mm, mm..." She lowered her head, feeling a bit embarrassed about this topic.
"The nurse aunt helped me buy them." Thinking about how the nurse aunt got her the sanitary pads and even helped her change pants in the bathroom made her wish she could dig a hole and crawl into it!
"As long as you have them." Yu Zexiao nodded.
"Umm..." Jian Anning hesitated and thought for a moment. These matters are always a bit hard to articulate. But asking others for help makes her feel embarrassed.
"What’s wrong?" Yu Zexiao lowered his head and glanced at her. Perhaps due to the fever and menstrual pain, her complexion was pale, and her serene little face seemed to have a soft, pitiful air.
"Can you—help me buy sanitary pads?" Jian Anning’s face was a bit red. But she had no choice; she knew no one else in Shangcheng and could only ask the person closest to her.
But Yu Zexiao is a big star, and she clearly knows that he is hardly suitable for such errands. If he were seen running to the supermarket buying feminine products... if this got revealed later, wouldn’t it end terribly for him?
