Ye Zhou’s body suddenly stiffened. He turned around slowly and gave Lin Shulan a complicated look.
To be honest, if this were happening far away, he could completely ignore it, but it just so happened to be occurring right before his eyes.
Even if it was just out of concern between club members, this should be considered normal, right?
Moreover, Ye Zhou couldn’t stand to see troublesome things happening in front of him or around him. Who told him to be such a soft-hearted god?
But as Ye Zhou took a step closer to Lin Shulan, he didn’t know how to open his mouth.
He slapped his forehead. It was impossible to say, ‘Senior Student Lin, you might feel unwell in a while, so maybe you should prepare in advance to avoid embarrassment later.’
Anyone who could say such words without any hesitation would definitely be a huge idiot, right?
Thus, Ye Zhou filled a cup with warm water at the water dispenser. With the intention of giving a reminder, he subconsciously paced around Lin Shulan’s side again and again.
A full minute passed, and he still didn’t know how to start the conversation.
And just like that, even though Lin Shulan was immersed in her game, she quickly noticed something was wrong.
Without lifting her head, she spoke:
“Speak up you have something to say. If not, don’t disturb me.”
Ye Zhou’s mouth twitched, and his tone was very stiff:
“Uh… just, Senior Student Lin, what kind of game are you playing? It seems quite attractive.”
“Do you have eyes that don’t know how to look at the screen? Besides, there are only a few popular mobile games going around lately. Could it be that you haven’t played them?”
“That’s a good point… ahaha…”
Rendered speechless by Lin Shulan’s simple sentence, Ye Zhou could only let out a few awkward laughs.
“…”
Ye Zhou stayed in place for another minute. Really not knowing how to open this topic, he gave Lin Shulan a polite greeting and left the club to drop the matter for the time being.
Although the club had a large storage cabinet where each small locker could store a member’s private belongings, who knew if Lin Shulan had the habit of keeping that kind of thing in the club?
Therefore, Ye Zhou upheld the philosophy of bringing it back while he was heading out anyway; after all, it wouldn’t cost him a piece of flesh.
Wouldn’t it?
There was a Campus Supermarket nearby. It was large in scale and basically had everything one would need.
Ye Zhou bought himself a hot dog. While eating, he bought a pack of Painkillers, a freshly made cup of Red Date and Longan Water, and a box of Sanitary Pads.
There were many types of Sanitary Pads. He didn’t know which type Lin Shulan should use, so after thinking seriously for a moment, he chose the type his younger sister usually bought.
That’s right, Ye Zhou had a younger sister.
However, for him, could a creature like a younger sister be called a member of the opposite sex?
Other than calling him ‘big brother’ sweetly when they were young, as they grew up, she only used a single word with different tones.
“Hey!”
“Hey?”
“Hey…”
Was there a mistake? That once delicate and cute younger sister must have been possessed by a stranger, right?
This principle was perhaps just like the way siblings and only children could never understand each other’s pain.
Cough, so coming back to the point, this was truly Ye Zhou’s first time giving a Sanitary Pad to the opposite sex.
Even if it was just an unexpected situation, he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed in his heart.
After one round trip, even though Ye Zhou’s movements were agile, it had taken about twenty minutes.
When he returned to the club, he found that Lin Shulan was nowhere to be seen, as if she had left.
If that was the case, then so be it.
Just as Ye Zhou was thinking this and preparing to turn around, the bathroom door clicked open in the next second, and was being pushed from the inside out.
He saw Lin Shulan clutching her lower abdomen with one hand and supporting herself against the wall with the other. Her forehead was covered in fine sweat, and her pale face had no color at all.
Even though Ye Zhou hadn’t experienced it personally, just looking at her with his naked eyes made him feel a faint pain.
The two of them immediately stared at each other.
Lin Shulan was the first to notice the black plastic bag Ye Zhou was carrying. Her brows furrowed tightly, as if she had guessed something.
Seeing this situation, Ye Zhou waved his hands hurriedly.
“Senior Student Lin, you’ve misunderstood me. Because I have a sister at home, my body subconsciously carries the old habit of taking care of her.”
“I just thought about buying these and putting them in the locker. If any of you have an emergency, you can use them as you like; I don’t mind.”
“I just didn’t expect to run into you, Senior Student Lin, right after buying them… I just don’t know what type you use.”
“Of course, if you it’s the wrong kind, it’s no trouble for me to make another trip and buy some for you.”
Unexpectedly, before Ye Zhou could finish his words, Lin Shulan took the bag and closed the bathroom door. It seemed she was indeed in too much pain to speak.
After a bout of rustling that lasted nearly ten minutes, Lin Shulan supported herself against the doorframe and walked out step by step. This time, her face was obviously not as pale, and she wasn’t clutching her abdomen in pain.
Ye Zhou stepped forward a few paces with the cup of Red Date and Longan Water and inserted the straw.
“Did you swallow those Painkillers dry? They should have some effect, right?”
“I was thinking maybe you should drink this to replenish some fluids? I bought it at the Campus Supermarket. I don’t know if it tastes good or not since I’ve never had it.”
“But if you drink it and don’t like it, it’s fine to throw it away.”
Lin Shulan hesitated for a moment before taking it. She took a small sip and nodded slightly.
“The temperature is right, the sweetness is right. It tastes very good. Thank you, Little Brother.”
“Ah? Little Brother?”
Ye Zhou immediately pointed to himself in confusion.
Lin Shulan’s gaze shifted downward for a second before returning to his face, as if it were only natural.
“Are you not?”
Ye Zhou subconsciously took a step back, his mouth twitching: “I—I’m definitely a guy.”
He was speechless in his heart. Why did a second person with such an aggressive gaze like President Jiang Yingxue appear in the Drama and Film Club? Something must be wrong, right?
“Ahaha… I was just a bit surprised to suddenly gain an older sister, that’s all.”
Lin Shulan took off her hair tie and tied her purple hair back into a high ponytail again.
Then, she took off her thin purple yoga jacket and tied it around her waist, preferably so it could completely cover her buttocks.
Ye Zhou realized Lin Shulan’s intention. He took off his hooded white jacket and handed it over.
Even though he averted his eyes and didn’t look at her white tank top which was stretched tight and full, it was still quite eye-catching.
“Senior Student Lin, how about you use my jacket for now? I feel like if you walk outside like that, it’ll surely be inconvenient.”
“Is that so? Well then, I’ll take it back, wash it clean, and bring it to you tomorrow.”
Lin Shulan didn’t hesitate much. She put her own yoga jacket back on and took Ye Zhou’s hooded jacket to tie around her waist.
She then pulled a box of Nicotine out of her pants pocket, opened it, took out one, and gave the rest to Ye Zhou.
“Thank you for this time, but I don’t like owing people favors…”
After saying that, with her left hand holding the cup of Red Date and Longan Water and her right hand holding a stick of Nicotine, she walked out of the club decisively.
She left only the dazed Ye Zhou in her wake.
No, this really was the first time he had seen someone use Nicotine as a thank-you gift.
After a good while, Ye Zhou regained his senses and looked down at the box of Nicotine in his hand.
Although he wasn’t interested in it, seeing the exquisite packaging, he knew these ladies’ cigarettes must be of the expensive variety.
Just then, Jiang Yingxue, who rarely arrived late to the club, came in. With her hands in her pockets, a black baseball cap on her head, and wearing black silk with Panda Air Jordans on her feet, her tone was lazy.
“Ye Zhou, did something happen between you and Lin Shulan? I just passed her, and her expression looked strange.”
“Also, what’s with the thing in your hand? Don’t you know smoking is prohibited in the club?”
“Considering it’s your first offense, don’t let it happen again.”
“But out of all the things you could learn day after day, you just had to learn how to smoke. So, I’m confiscating this.”
Ye Zhou was directly stunned once more.
“No, but… she… what… I… what just happened?”
