“Say it.” Gu Yu was crisp, spitting the words out quickly.
“What else could it be, it’s that time of the month. During this period, women wouldn’t be able to analyze things based on normal logic. They could be temperamental, anxious, depressed, sad, unhappy, and every single person could rub them the wrong way. They could lose their temper at you for no good reason, and may even scratch you! Anyway, for these few days, I only have a word of advice for you, don’t provoke her!”
Gu Yu denied it without giving it a second thought, “It’s not that time for her yet.”
Xu Shuai was shocked for a good while before he found his voice once more, “Yu, you remember it so clearly?”
For him to remember so clearly that time of the month of hers, spoke volumes about just how much Xu Weilai meant to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu didn’t bother replying to his nonsense.
Xu Shuai sighed, before continuing, “Yu, women are not what they appear to be. This thing is affected by many factors. That time of the month could vary from month to month. It’s just an approximate. Think again, was it close to that time of the month?”
Since he put it that way, then, indeed, it wasn’t too long to go before Xu Weilai’s time of the month.
The image of Xu Weilai squatting before the bedroom door popped up in Gu Yu’s mind. How could she not stand up despite making many attempts? Could it be because she was having a stomach ache, that she was feeling unwell?
His brows drew into a tight-knit. His thin lips pressed together slightly, before he asked, “What can I do to make her feel better?”
“This…”
Xu Shuai pulled at his messy hair as he found himself in a spot, “Yu, though I say that I know women well, I’m not a woman myself. How would I know how to make women feel better during that time of the month!”
The question was beyond his apprehension; he didn’t have an answer to it!
After pausing for a while, he suddenly thought of something, and continued earnestly, “Anyway, I know of something that you definitely shouldn’t say to a woman during this period. Once you say it, you’re dead meat!”
“What is it?”
Xu Shuai lowered his voice, articulating every word, “Drink more warm water!”
—
Gu Yu immediately dispelled the thought he was having, fetching a glass of warm water for Xu Weilai.
Gu Yu rubbed his brows again. Sitting on the sofa, he remained silent for a moment, before his thin lips parted, “Is there a woman by your side?”
In an instant, Xu Shuai yelped, alarmed, “Yu, you can’t do this. The last time you chased away a woman of mine, I had to take a cold shower for half a day. This time, I would rather die than yield! I…”
Impatient, Gu Yu cut him off, “Ask her!”
The other end of the line went dead for a second before the sound of Xu Shuai heaving a sigh of relief came through, “Young Master Gu, could you not speak in such an ambiguous manner, you gave me the shock of my life. Ask about that, right? Sure thing!”
Xu Shuai turned around, explained the situation to his “new girlfriend.” He spoke gently and softly before passing the phone to her.
Soon, the coy voice of a woman came on the other end of the line.
—
Xu Weilai couldn’t drift off to sleep at all. Sadness weighed on her heart, circling round and round. Her heart felt heavy as she lay with her eyes wide open, just staring into space.
The apartment was quiet, so quiet that she could hear the front door open and then close shut, as well as the sound of footsteps gradually drifting further away.
Did Gu Yu go out?
It’s already so late, and he went out?
Was it because he still couldn’t forget the relationship that he had with Yun Rou? Even after coming back to the apartment, he still couldn’t get over it? Was that why he went out again? Was he looking for her?
All of a sudden, a flood of tears came pouring down her face again. It created a wet patch on the pillowcase.
