Li Yuan's right hand rested on Zhong Tingyue's long, silk-stockinged thigh. He smirked, giving her a meaningful look.
"Little Moon, what do you say?"
Zhong Tingyue deciphered his gaze and glared at him. "You lecherous Senior!" As she spoke, she began to stammer, "Um, Senior… that time of the month… it came today. So I'm afraid I can't."
Li Yuan looked startled. "Your period came?"
"Mhm!" Zhong Tingyue whispered, stealing glances at his reaction, terrified he might get angry.
Seeing her cautious demeanor, Li Yuan couldn't help but smile. He stroked her head and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"
When Zhong Tingyue saw that he wasn't disappointed but was instead concerned for her, the worry in her eyes vanished, replaced with a bright, happy smile.
"Mhm, it hurts a bit. It came a little early this time."
Li Yuan pulled the car over to the side of the road, moved his hand, and placed it on her lower abdomen, rubbing it gently.
