Return of the King, Dominating the City
Chapter 37 - 37 36 A Request

37: Chapter 36 A Request 37: Chapter 36 A Request He clearly didn’t understand what the hell was going on, and followed the direction Li Shishi was pointing in.

“Fuck,” he thought, “why is there a pool of blood?” He looked at Li Shishi and realized she was only wearing a set of underwear, her large patches of fair skin catching Song Yun’s eye.

“Bastard!” Li Shishi felt Song Yun’s invasive gaze and quickly wrapped herself in a blanket.

“If you keep looking, I’ll gouge out your eyeballs.”

Song Yun shook his head and cast all the dirty thoughts from his mind, silently swallowing his saliva.

He thought to himself that he hadn’t done anything out of line when he came in last night, so why was there a pool of blood on the bed?

Could it be that his animal instincts had taken over in the middle of the night?

Thinking this made Song Yun break out in a cold sweat, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

Blood, blood, that’s right—don’t women also bleed during their monthly cycles?

Could it be that Li Shishi was on her period?

“Li Shishi, don’t cry for a sec.

Let me ask you—when did your period start?” Song Yun asked cautiously, terrified that the answer wouldn’t be what he hoped.

“It started on the 10th last month.

What’s it to you?

Are you happy if I don’t get my period?” Li Shishi glared at Song Yun several times as she spoke.

Seeing that it was the 9th on his phone, he relaxed.

Holy crap, that scared the shit out of me.

It turned out to be Li Shishi’s period after all.

“You…

could you possibly be on your period?” Song Yun whispered.

Hearing this, Li Shishi’s anger started to subside, and she counted the days in her head, her face turning bright red.

Her period was indeed due these days, so the blood on the bed was explained, but she had returned last night fully clothed, so how come this morning all she had on was her underwear?

“Indeed, I wronged you,” Li Shishi said, her index fingers poking each other, looking very aggrieved.

Song Yun gave a bitter laugh and said, “Thank goodness it was a misunderstanding, otherwise the thought of committing seppuku crossed my mind.”

Li Shishi looked up with a red face and said, “Then tell me, where are my clothes?

Waking up naked after getting drunk the night before would make anyone explode, right?”

“Sister, you blame me but look at yourself.

Do you know that when you came back last night, not only did you puke on yourself, but you also puked on me?

Seriously, someone who can’t handle their liquor insists on following us.

It’s not a big deal, puking on both of us; just wash the clothes.

But in the middle of the night, you held onto me and pinned me underneath you, insisting on playing some queen game, and if you hadn’t fallen asleep, who knows who would be crying now,” Song Yun ranted about Li Shishi’s antics from the previous night.

Li Shishi’s face flushed, a wave of embarrassment rising in her heart, and she angrily kicked him.

“Knowing that it’s my time of the month, you should be waiting on me hand and foot.

Hurry up and go buy breakfast, and get me a pack of sanitary pads too.”

“There are sanitary pads at the convenience store at the door, and as for breakfast, I had it ready a long time ago, just waiting for you to wake up.

Now get out of bed and freshen up,” Song Yun said in annoyance.

But then, recollecting how he hadn’t exactly behaved himself when Li Shishi climbed on top of him the night before, his irritation vanished.

Luckily, he had phenomenal self-control; otherwise, today it wouldn’t have been just a simple misunderstanding.

After Li Shishi was properly dressed, Song Yun had already placed a hot breakfast on the table.

Li Shishi ate her meal in small bites, lost in her own thoughts.

“Senior Brother Song?

Oh, Sister Shishi is here too.

Then I’ll be going first,” Xiaoqing said as she came in.

Upon seeing Li Shishi right away, she felt a bit uncomfortable, owing to her first impression.

“Xiaoqing, have you eaten yet?

If not, have something here,” Song Yun said with a smile.

“No thanks, I just came today to ask a few questions about movements and breathing techniques.

My business isn’t urgent,” Xiaoqing said before hurriedly fleeing.

Li Shishi gave Song Yun an odd look and said, “Did you do something to scare that girl off?

Why did she run off after just a few words?”

“Are you sure it’s not you who scared her like that?” Song Yun shot a glance back at Li Shishi and said, “Walking in here with so many bodyguards on the very first day, you look like a mafia boss.

No wonder anyone would be scared.”

“…Should I go explain then?”

“Forget it, the child’s innocent; the more you explain, the more trouble you make.

Let’s find another time to talk about it,” Song Yun shrugged.

After breakfast, Li Shishi surprisingly offered to wash the dishes.

Watching her finish the three dishes and then break two of them, Song Yun suspected she had come just to make trouble.

Although he was wealthier now, he couldn’t afford such wastefulness.

“Um…

can we discuss something?” Li Shishi asked, her face flushing, after washing the dishes.

“There we go, I was wondering why you were so proactive about dishwashing today—it turns out you had an agenda.

Speak up, as long as it’s not too weird, I’ll agree,” Song Yun replied, relieved to hear her words.

“I don’t have many clothes left.

Can you accompany me to buy a few pieces?” Li Shishi asked softly.

“Oh, I thought it was something else.

Sure, let’s go buy them now.”

Once they were ready, Song Yun took her to the Sunan City shopping street.

The moment Song Yun and Li Shishi stepped out of the car, the entire shopping street exploded with attention centered around the great beauty that was Li Shishi.

Whistles, praises, and exclamations filled the air.

“See, those people do have a sense of aesthetics, unlike some who do nothing but piss me off all day,” Li Shishi told Song Yun with a smirk, her proud expression resembling a little fox that had sneakily eaten chicks.

Although it was flattering to be out with a woman even more beautiful than female celebrities, the thought of some guys getting hot and bothered, and the trouble it might bring while shopping, made Song Yun roll his eyes.

“Why are you giving me that look?

Don’t tell me I’m not dressed well enough and embarrassing you by being out here?” Li Shishi quipped, glancing at Song Yun.

Seeing Song Yun still wearing a pained expression, Li Shishi said discontentedly, “Is it really that bad?”

“No, no, it’s not that you’re not dressed well; it’s that you’re too well-dressed.

Do you realize how much of a sensation your outfit will cause in the mall?” Song Yun shuddered at the thought of being ‘murdered’ by the gazes of his fellow men.

Women like Li Shishi could walk down any street and potentially receive countless love confessions, attracting a hundred percent of attention.

“It can’t be that bad; we’re just wearing some very ordinary clothes,” Li Shishi grumbled, pouting her lips disapprovingly.

“All right, all right, let’s just get going before a pack of wolves snatches you away,” Song Yun well knew that Li Shishi, with her natural beauty, could show the vibe of a goddess even in plain clothes, so there was no point in arguing further.
