"What is it?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"It's that... thing..." Qin Si Xuan stammered, her face turning so red it seemed like it might start dripping blood.

"Star Qin, can we stop beating around the bush? What exactly is it?"

"It's just... just..." Qin Si Xuan stuttered for quite a while but couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence.

Lin Fan rolled his eyes helplessly, "Alright! Seeing your expression, I can only think you want me to buy either bras or pads. So which is it? The first or the second?"

"The... second one..."

After speaking, Qin Si Xuan quickly pulled up the blanket to cover her blushing face, her eyes filled with shy glances at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan originally wanted to refuse. Asking a grown man to buy pads felt kind of awkward.

But looking at Qin Si Xuan's pitiful expression, Lin Fan couldn't bear it and said, "Fine, I'll buy it. So, Star Qin, what kind do you want? The one with little wings or the ultra-thin absorbent one?"

"I want..."

Just as Qin Si Xuan began to speak, her eyebrows furrowed, and she gave Lin Fan a strange look.

Seeing her expression, Lin Fan guessed that she must be thinking he frequently buys pads for women, so he said, "Hey, Star Qin, don't misunderstand. This is the first time I'm buying pads for someone. The ones with little wings and the ultra-thin absorbent ones, I saw those in TV ads."

Qin Si Xuan's eyes got even weirder, showing a trace of disdain, as if to say, why is a man watching pad commercials?

Lin Fan smacked his forehead in frustration, realizing the more he explained, the darker it got: "Alright! I won't explain anymore. I'll just buy both kinds for you. You wait here quietly for me to get back and, whatever you do, don't move around or get out of bed on your own."

"Okay!" Qin Si Xuan nodded obediently.

Then, worried that Qin Si Xuan might get thirsty, Lin Fan poured her a glass of warm water and placed it on the bedside table. After thinking for a moment, he also placed a bottle of drink beside her.

Lin Fan said in all seriousness, "If you get thirsty, drink some water. If you need to pee, just use this drink bottle in the meantime. Put it on the floor after you're done, and I'll dispose of it when I get back. Uh... if you need to poop, then hold it until I get back and I'll carry you to the bathroom."

After saying that, Lin Fan dashed out of the room, as Qin Si Xuan's face grew increasingly black, looking as if she was about to jump up and fight him...

He took the elevator downstairs, where there happened to be a supermarket. Lin Fan first bought meat slices, vegetables, and condiments for hot pot.

However, when it was time to buy pads, seeing the throngs of people in the supermarket, Lin Fan felt nervous. Even when he had faced hundreds of armed mercenaries alone, he had never been this anxious!

The mighty "Tyrant" of the Dark Realm buying pads—a story like that would surely make people laugh their heads off!

"Everyone poops, and what man hasn't bought pads? Just go for it!"

Lin Fan gritted his teeth and walked over to the counter, trying to look relaxed, and asked the pretty cashier, "Miss, does your supermarket carry those personal items for women? Could you tell me where they are?"

"What personal items?" The pretty cashier looked at him with confused big eyes.

"Um, it's like..." Lin Fan quickly gestured the shape of a pad to the pretty cashier.

The pretty cashier thought for a long time before her face lit up with realization, turning bright red as she said, "Sir, I get it now. Please, stop gesturing. It's embarrassing if others see. I'll get it for you."

"Alright, thank you." Lin Fan sighed inwardly with relief. Fortunately, he came across a smart employee; otherwise, he'd be in for more ridicule.

But soon, the pretty cashier returned with something that almost made Lin Fan cry—it was a box of Durex.

"Miss, you misunderstood me. I want those items that women use." Lin Fan quickly gestured the shape of a pad again.

The pretty cashier showed another look of realization and brought Lin Fan a box of 72-hour emergency contraceptive pills.

Lin Fan was utterly speechless and asked seriously, "Miss, are you from Mars?"

The pretty cashier blinked her big eyes and said, "Actually, I used to think I was from Mars too! But sir, please consider women. You men have fun, but it's not easy for us women. Safety first, please choose something."

Seeing the serious expression on her face, Lin Fan wanted to bang his head against a wall.

"I want pads, the ones women use," Lin Fan yelled out in frustration.

Shush shush shush~

The moment he said those words, the whole supermarket fell silent, and pairs of bizarre eyes all focused on Lin Fan, as if seeing an alien.

The pretty cashier's face flushed, "Sir, if you wanted pads, you could have said so quietly! Why shout? They're right over on that shelf."

Lin Fan rolled his eyes helplessly and quickly headed to the shelf to grab two packs. Thinking further, he worried Qin Si Xuan might run out and make him buy more, sparing himself further embarrassment, so he grabbed ten packs. Across the aisle, two middle-aged ladies widened their eyes, giving him strange looks.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a man use pads before?" Lin Fan shouted, dissatisfied.

Kachoo~

The supermarket became even quieter, and all eyes filled with surprise, weirdness, and disdain concentrated on Lin Fan.

Someone even whispered, "A perfectly good man, and he got a sex change. What a disgrace to his ancestors..."

Recalling his own words, Lin Fan's face darkened instantly: "Uh... you might have heard wrong... I actually meant to say, men can buy pads too. Don't misunderstand; these are for my wife."

Hahaha~ Hahaha~

Heeheehee~ Heeheehee~

Lin Fan's attempt to explain made it worse; everyone in the supermarket burst out laughing.

Lin Fan, lines of frustration across his face, felt like the more he explained, the worse it got. He quickly paid, grabbed his stuff, and dashed out of the supermarket. The pretty cashier called after him, "Sir, you forgot your change," to which Lin Fan generously replied, "Consider it a tip..."

Not long after, when Lin Fan returned to Qin Si Xuan's room, she was leaning against the bed watching entertainment news. Seeing Lin Fan return with a big bag of pads, she was taken aback, "Lin Fan, why'd you buy so many? To cook and eat?"

"I can use them too, alright." Lin Fan wasn't in the mood, still annoyed by what had happened. He didn't even realize he was speaking incorrectly.

Soon, as he turned his head, he found Qin Si Xuan giving him a strange look. Only then did he realize he'd misspoken again. If there had been a crack in the floor, Lin Fan would have wished he could dive right into it!

"Uh, Star Qin, let me explain. The situation isn't as you imagine. Actually... never mind, I won't explain. Think whatever you like. The pads are for me to use..."

Lin Fan's face was full of frustration; today was just a major embarrassment!
