Chapter 63: Pillow

ress in the corner not far away. She had a cigarette between her fingers, bringing it to her lips.She smoked with practiced ease, her red lips slowly expelling smoke rings. When she tilted her head ba...While Ginger Mingzhu might not be able to outsmart Zhou Li in other aspects, she completely understands and controls his thoughts in this matter.

He had her wait over there, didn't he, just to finish what they didn't get to do at the hotel before

This guy is clearly insatiable, yet he acts all high and mighty, expecting her to make the first move.

Fortunately, Jiang Mingzhu has a thick skin and is open-minded. She sits on him, kissing and touching him without any shyness whatsoever.

Zhou Li carried the ginger pearl onto his shoulders and brought her to the bedroom upstairs. The two rolled onto the bed together.

The atmosphere was enthusiastic.

There was a ebb and flow of breaths in the room, Jiang Mingzhu never held back, even leaning into his ear deliberately to whisper loudly.

Zhou Li pushed her onto the bed and lifted up her skirt.

The arrow was drawn, poised on the string ready to be released. But at that moment, a drop of blood appeared on his fingertips.

Zhou Li: …

It's as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over my head.

Ginger also didn't expect her period to come at this time. Looking up, she saw Zhou Li's black face, and she stuck out her tongue.

Zhouli: "On purpose"

Ginger Mingzhu: "...Is my period something I can intentionally make come"

Along with her period, Ginger Mingzhu also had a bad temper and couldn't help but retort to Zhou Li.

Zhou Li rubbed his temples and realized he had just asked a rather ridiculous question.

He got up from the bed and was going to take a shower.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Mingzhu stopped him.

Zhou Li stopped and heard her say, "I don't have sanitary napkins."

Zhou Li had already guessed what she wanted to say: "Don't even think about it."

Ginger Mingzhu: "Woooooo, heartless man, if you can't do it, just abandon me."

Zhouli: ….

Jiang Mingzhu was being unreasonable, crying and making a fuss, holding onto Zhou Li's hand tightly.

The Zhouli got a headache from her: "Let go."

Ginger Mingzhu: "No."

"If my brother doesn't buy it for me, I'll just have to use your white shirt as a sanitary pad," Jiang Mingzhu threatened.

Zhou Li: "I'll let you go, I need to wash my hands."

Ginger Mingzhu raised an eyebrow. "Wash your hands and go buy it for me"

Jiang Mingzhu curled up in bed, listening to Zhou Li's washing sounds. She sent him a text message with the necessary brands and sizes.

After the Zhouli came out, Jiang Mingzhu said, "I've sent you the list."

Zhou Li took his phone and looked at it, listing six or seven lines. Something about S/M/L, catheter type non-catheter type...

Ginger Mingzhu: "Hurry up, I can't hold on much longer."

There's only one imported supermarket nearby, and it's nearly deserted by nightfall.

Zhou Li walked in, straight to the women's products section, opened his phone and compared it to the text message Jiang Mingzhu sent, looking for his target.

It took him over ten minutes, struggling to buy all the things on Ginger Mingzhu's list. He went back and handed it to her.

When Ginger Mingzhu received the items, she was surprised. "Amazing! Not a single one fell off," she exclaimed.

After taking a shower and changing into her underwear, Jiang Mingzhu walked out of the bathroom only to find Zhou Li was no longer in the bedroom.

Have you left

Jiang Mingzhu walked out of the bedroom to observe. Hearing movement in the opposite guest room, she pushed open the door and went in.

Zhou Li was sitting by the bed, looking like he was going to sleep in this room.

Seeing Jiang Mingzhu come over, Zhou Li's face darkened. "Who let you come here"

Ginger Mingzhu jumped onto the bed and snuggled into his arms, acting coquettishly. "I can't sleep alone, I want my brother to sleep with me."

Zhou Li just put out the fire, but was re-ignited by one of her little actions.

The Zhouli: "Roll."

He pushed her away with great force. Jiang Mingzhu's head hit the headboard, though it wasn't hard, she still covered her head and lay on the bed.

"Ouch."

The Book of Zhou: “You sleep here.”

Ginger Mingzhu: “My stomach hurts so much…”

Her voice sounded very pained, weak and fragile.

Zhou Li saw that her features were all bunched up in pain, and her expression didn't seem like she was acting.

He really pushed her hard just now.

Zhou Li grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her up. Before he could ask anything, she suddenly burrowed back into his arms, clinging to him like a child having a tantrum.

"Brother, don't go. Stay with me and sleep. I'm scared."

Zhou Li:：“……”

Only then did he realize he had been tricked by her again, his expression darkening instantly.

Jiang Mingzhu rolled around dramatically: "My tummy hurts so much, can you rub it for me"

Then she pulled him closer, bringing his hand to her stomach.

When Zhou Li was about to reach out, she felt that her lower abdomen was unusually cold, completely different from the temperature she usually experienced.

It's so cold, it feels like ice.

Zhou Li: “How come it’s so cold”

Ginger Mingzhu: "Menstrual cramps."

"It's not that cold."

Ginger Mingzhu: "When I was a child, the orphanage conditions were not good. In winter, it was very damp and there was no heating or electric blankets... Over time, things just became like this."

Have you seen a doctor

Ginger Mingzhu: "I saw it, now it's much better."

Zhou Li frowned, "Even at this temperature, it's still much better"

Ginger Mingzhu seemed to be lost in reminiscence, her whole body relaxed against Zhou Li's embrace as they recalled their childhood together.

"Whenever I was brought back home by my parents, I always got sick. Every time I had my period, the pain would be so bad that I couldn't even get out of bed, and I would vomit and have diarrhea... They were terrified of me. They found a doctor who treated me for two or three years before I started to feel better."

Zhou Li didn't respond, but it didn't stop Jiang Mingzhu from speaking.

She was talking to herself about her adoptive parents, and Zhou Li could tell from what she said that they were still very good to her.

On second thought, it's not surprising.

If her foster parents hadn't treated her well, she wouldn't have developed such a sweet and endearing personality.

Zhou Li rarely has such patience to listen to someone talk so much, and he becomes more and more interested the more he listens.

But the person in my arms seemed tired, and I didn't know when they had closed their eyes and fallen asleep.

Zhou Li put her on the pillow, preparing to pull his hand away, but she hugged him again, her head resting on his arm.

The last time Zhou Li could only let her act up in his arms, using his arm as a headrest and his body as a pillow.

Possibly because of her period cramps, she slept very soundly, curled up in his arms like a little pet.

Zhou Li stared at Jiang Mingzhu for a while, then closed his eyes.

He didn't see how smug the smile on the woman in his arms was.

When Jiang Mingzhu woke up in the morning, she was still in the same pose as last night.

Zhou Li was already awake, Jiang Mingzhu yawned lazily and said to him, "Good morning."

The Zhouli says: “Rise.”

Ginger: "I slept so soundly last night, it's so comfortable in my brother's arms."

Zhouli: "Ah, you are comfortable now."

His arm was so numb it felt like it was about to break.

Ginger Mingzhu was very considerate. She sprang up immediately, placing both hands on his arm and starting to massage him.

One side pressed, smiling gleefully and asked: "Am I very good"

She does have a good massage technique, but Zhou Li is unable to fully enjoy it.

Those two hands rubbing back and forth on his arm didn't relax him, instead they made him tense up even more.

Ginger Mingzhu also found out.

She asked innocently, "Why is my brother's body so stiff"u'll really like her..."She won't harm me, I believe her.——Under pressure from Zhou Li, Zhan Yanqing finally agreed to let Zhan Yubai come back and take over this project.After they had talked things...
