Half a pack of Sanitary Napkins, and still a bit of luxury. Lan Baobao just hoped for one piece, even if it was just one piece of Sanitary Napkin, that could save her!
However, Lan Baobao's beautiful fantasy was soon shattered by the cruel reality.
She had almost searched every drawer in the living room, bedroom, and even the kitchen. Lan Baobao lay on the floor, having checked even the gaps under the cabinets, yet she hadn’t seen a single packaging bag for a sanitary napkin!
Was she meant to perish?!
Mu Jiangfeng, that meticulous man, had prepared everything in the room, so why hadn’t he prepared any Sanitary Napkins?!
In the bathroom, there was even a complete set of makeup brushes! She wasn’t going out to meet anyone; what was the point of makeup? Were all those Chanel and Armani products just there to hypnotize her?
Lan Baobao helplessly banged her head against the wall, suddenly feeling that a row of Chanel and Armani products couldn’t compare to a single Sanitary Napkin at this moment!
All the various rich foods Mu Jiangfeng had brought for himself had nothing that could be used as a Sanitary Napkin.
The only thing she could temporarily use were those tissues in the bathroom, but wasn’t that just too disgusting?
Lan Baobao felt embarrassed; she didn’t want to be halfway walking when a blood-stained tissue peeked out from her pants leg!
But if she had to wait until Mu Jiangfeng came over at noon, asking him to go out and buy this for her would be too embarrassing, even if it was possible.
By the time Mu Jiangfeng arrived, the living room would probably have turned into a river of blood! Who knows, Mu Jiangfeng might think she was murdered by Ye Zixun.
Lan Baobao glanced at the bathroom; that toilet looked like a decent place. With a press of the button, the red blood would flush away.
Clean, convenient, quick—but still… she couldn’t just sit on the toilet waiting!
So frustrating!
After a fierce internal struggle, Lan Baobao decided to go buy it herself. The supermarket was right across the street; it would take about ten minutes to walk there. As long as she grabbed a Sanitary Napkin and ran back quickly, nothing should go wrong!
"I can't let him see the evidence of my period! I can't afford to lose face in front of this man. I need to act quickly. If Mu Jiangfeng gets angry when I come back, I'll just admit my mistake honestly!"
Lan Baobao grabbed a dark-colored outfit from the closet and quickly put it on. She noticed a variety of hats on the shelf and chose a brown baseball cap, pulling it down slightly over her eyes.
After looking at herself in the mirror for a while, she thought that as long as no one looked too closely, they wouldn't be able to tell what she looked like.
"This should be fine, right?!" Lan Baobao nodded at her reflection.
Feeling anxious, like a child who had done something wrong, she pulled the room card from the slot and took out twenty dollars in change from her wallet, tucking it into her pocket before quickly heading out the door.
After being cooped up in the room for a week, stepping outside and breathing in the fresh air felt exhilarating for Lan Baobao. Bathed in sunlight, her heart raced with excitement.
She initially wanted to look up and enjoy the sunshine, but thinking about Mu Jiangfeng's words made her feel like a child who had misbehaved, and she couldn't bring herself to lift her head.
"Forget it; just being able to get out is already a blessing. No need to be too arrogant!"
Lan Baobao kept her head down as she walked toward the commercial street. There weren't many people around during the day; most would come out at night to shop.
The shops were all open, but there weren't many customers. The restaurants had only a few patrons, and almost all of them had no lines—she could walk right in and find a seat she liked.
As soon as Lan Baobao saw a restaurant, her stomach growled loudly with hunger.
She pressed one hand against her belly and regretted not eating some bread before leaving; now she was really hungry!
Before she could fully grasp how hungry she felt, another wave of cramping pain hit her stomach.
"Ah! Please don't act up now!" Lan Baobao leaned against the wall, taking a moment to catch her breath as her stomach finally calmed down for a brief moment.
Looking up, she noticed a 24-hour convenience store diagonally across the street.
Lan Baobao lowered her hat slightly and rushed in. She felt that she had to act quickly. Thinking about her experience, she quickly found the section for daily necessities and grabbed a package of Sanitary Napkin before dashing out.
With this, she should be foolproof.
This place was remote, and it was in a less frequented 24-hour convenience store. There was no way she would run into Ye Zixun in the women's section.
Let's do this!
Lan Baobao moved swiftly and soon reached the entrance of the convenience store across the street. Then, like a wanted criminal, she covered her face as she entered the women's section. After glancing at the styles displayed on the shelves, she casually picked a package of Sanitary Napkin that looked familiar and was ready to leave immediately.
Lan Baobao's actions were clean and efficient; even she couldn't believe that someone lacking athletic coordination like her could complete this series of actions so skillfully!
Satisfied, Lan Baobao handed the Sanitary Napkin to the cashier.
"Thank you for your purchase. That will be twelve dollars. Will you be paying by card or cash?" After scanning the barcode, the cashier wore a gentle smile, but her tone was quite indifferent as she spoke to Lan Baobao.
"Twelve dollars and you're asking if I want to pay by card? I'll give you cash." Lan Baobao internally scoffed at the cashier.
It's just twelve dollars; why would anyone use a card for that?
Isn't that just showing off?
"I'll just pay with cash!"
As soon as Lan Baobao finished speaking, the cashier revealed an expression of "I knew it," causing Lan Baobao's face to twitch slightly.
Before she could further disdain the Salesperson, just as she was about to pay, she suddenly realized her wallet felt empty.
Strange, she clearly brought twenty dollars with her; how could it be missing?
Could it be...
Did I drop it?!
Ah, please don't tell me this is happening to me. Since leaving the apartment and walking to this place, she had been looking down and walking continuously. How could she have possibly lost her money in such a short distance of less than ten minutes?
Lan Baobao was once again defeated by herself; she truly was a unique person!
Fortunately, she had seen the card on top of the cabinet when she left and took it with her. Otherwise, she would really be in trouble!
"Um, excuse me, it seems like I dropped my cash on the way here.
May I ask, um, can I use my card for this?" Lan Baobao awkwardly pulled out a card from her pocket and asked, feeling embarrassed. Who would think of using a card just to buy a pack of Sanitary Napkin?
The cashier probably had never encountered a customer who would swipe a card for something that costs just over ten dollars in all her time working there!
After staring at Lan Baobao with an expression that seemed to say "Are you trying to show off?" and then giving her a look that conveyed "Are you brainless?", the cashier finally managed to put on a gentle smile and replied calmly, "Yes, you can."
Well, as long as it's possible, why all the extra looks? Lan Baobao felt helpless. Clearly, this was a service industry job, yet the cashiers acted as if they had some deep-seated grudge against the customers. They wore smiles on their faces, but their eyes conveyed a very obvious disdain and indifference.
In the service industry, one naturally encounters all kinds of customers—some good, some bad; some smart, and some like her who might be a bit clueless.
If you don't like it, then don't do it! No one is forcing them to work in this line of business!
Lan Baobao couldn't help but grumble internally. She was too timid to say anything out loud. She thought that if Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo were here, they would definitely find ways to teach this cashier a lesson.
If Ye Zixun were here, he would probably make this cashier lose her job right away.
It seems that my temper is still too weak!
After completing the payment, Lan Baobao quickly picked up the Sanitary Napkin and prepared to flee, but in her panic, she ran straight into a solid "wall."
"Ouch! Do you know how much that hurts?!" Unexpectedly, before Lan Baobao could even voice her complaint, this wall, with a very petulant tone, exclaimed and then, with an air of being in the right, blocked her path and shouted, "Can't you see?"
Lan Baobao was in a hurry to leave, and the pain in her abdomen was becoming increasingly intense, causing her to break out in a cold sweat. She wanted to quickly return to her bed and eat something warm to ease the discomfort, especially since it seemed she had indeed bumped into someone.
Time was pressing, and she didn't have the energy to argue with the other person. So she just lowered her head and repeatedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see you. I'm really sorry!"
Before the other person could respond, Lan Baobao quickly turned to avoid her and continued on her way. However, the woman opposite frowned as if she recognized her and showed an interested expression as she grabbed Lan Baobao's arm.
Lan Baobao thought she must have encountered a difficult and domineering woman who might demand compensation for medical expenses. Just when she felt a headache coming on, the other person casually called out her name.
"Lan Baobao? It really is you! I was wondering who that blind person was; turns out it's you! Of course, it's someone like you who would be so rude!" The woman's tone was both frivolous and arrogant.
It seemed as if she believed she was completely justified.
Without thinking twice, wasn't this situation a fault of both parties? If the woman hadn't stood still at the entrance after coming in, Lan Baobao wouldn't have bumped into her.
