“Mr. Captain, time to take medicine.”

Tong Yao walked over with medicine in hand.

The man didn’t respond

Tong Yao circled around to his front.

She put the cup and medicine on the table and squatted down next to the bed holding her knees, watching silently at the face that seemed to be in a deep
slumber. She thought to herself: Lu Sicheng does look very handsome. His features looked like those used in plastic surgery advertisements. Though it looks a bit mean when all the features were put together, he’s still a rather good look guy.

Tong Yao had a poor vocabulary and couldn’t really put her feelings into words. But she knew that when she fixed her eyes on the tip of his slightly pinkish nose
and the corners of his eyes, she couldn’t move her eyes away-- --

Until the man who she thought was sound asleep suddenly opened his eyes without making any noise.


Tong Yao was caught off guard as her eyes met Lu Sicheng’s dark brown pupils. She lost her footing and fell back onto the soft carpet.

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Lu Sicheng coughed a couple times before speaking: “What are you sneaking around in my room for?”

Tong Yao: “......”

Tong Yao blinked and felt somewhat mousy under the gaze of those calm eyes. She was speechless for a short while before remembering what she was there for in the first place. Tong Yao hurriedly turned to pick up the water cup and medicine: “I’m here to deliver the medicine. Rui Ge told me to make sure you take the medicine before going to sleep.”

Tong Yao sat on the carpet cross legged next to the bed and handed the water cup to Lu Sicheng. She read the direction on the back of the medicine package, then took out the pills according to the directions and gave to Lu Sicheng.

Lu Sicheng sat up half way and took the medicine: “The water is too hot.”

Tong Yao: “......”

Lu Sicheng: “Get me another one.”

Tong Yao: “You know something?”

Lu Sicheng: “?”

Tong Yao: “You know most women suffer menstrual pains during a few days of each month. The pain is like someone whipping you with a whip dipped in hot
chili oil a hundred times-- --If you multiply the pain three times that would be the pain at childbirth, you do know that labor is quite painful, yes? Specifically, how
painful is it? It’s like pulling your upper lip up and over your whole head, something like that.”

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Tong Yao: “During those few days of the month, even if Godzilla invades the Earth I would punch him back to the ocean. Simply because he has disturbed me, unable to keep it quiet.”

Tong Yao: “So, drink water, take the medicine, and don’t make trouble.”

Lu Sicheng was silent for awhile, then he put the pills into his mouth, quietly sipped water a couple times to send the pills down his throat. Tong Yao sat on the floor and looked up to make sure he had really swallowed the pills, then she said in satisfaction: “Drink some more. A sick person needs to drink more hot water.”
