Misunderstanding

It's quite normal to run into classmates at the pharmacy. Most classmates come to buy some everyday medicine for things like colds, fevers, toothaches, sore throats, rashes, athlete's foot, and skin diseases.

Some students with fulfilling lives might buy anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, or even family planning supplies, which is normal.

Generally, there's no awkwardness when you meet someone like that; gossips might even ask what the other person bought for.

However, I don't want to run into classmates about some medications that involve privacy.

Liu Chang'an didn't think much of it; if they met, they met. But judging from Yan Qingcheng's expression, she didn't seem to want to meet Liu Chang'an.

Yan Qingcheng glanced at Liu Chang'an, then at the Daktarin Suppository Liu Chang'an had bought.

He seemed hesitant to speak.

The woman selling medicine glanced over, her gaze slightly scrutinizing, as if she were observing whether Liu Chang'an's Daktarin Suppository were for this girl.

"Come over."

Liu Chang'an walked out of the pharmacy and saw Yan Qingcheng looking hesitant and troubled.

Yan Qingcheng hesitated for a moment. Although she had decided to keep her distance from him after seeing him preying on underage girls last time, they were acquaintances after all, and she couldn't afford to break off relations, so she still walked over.

"I noticed you were staring at the suppositories I bought." Liu Chang'an always had a keen eye for observation.

Yan Qingcheng remained silent. Did he want to explain something? If he did, she would like to hear it... If he wasn't what she thought or what she observed, and if he had enough credibility, Yan Qingcheng would still be willing to give him a chance to get to know him again.

"I know you're embarrassed to buy it yourself, but I happen to have two boxes here, I'll give you one for free," Liu Chang'an said generously.

Yan Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized that he wasn't trying to explain anything at all. He actually thought she was staring at his suppositories because she wanted to buy them too!

Yan Qingcheng's cheeks flushed bright red. What did he mean?!

"Take it, don't be shy." Liu Chang'an took out a box and handed it over.

Yan Qingcheng hurriedly took a few steps back as if avoiding a snake or scorpion, both ashamed and angry, "What would I need this for! I don't have any gynecological problems!"

"Oh, it's a misunderstanding." Liu Chang'an smiled. "Then you shouldn't stare at other people's purchases anymore, because you might misunderstand."

After saying that, Liu Chang'an ignored Yan Qingcheng and turned to leave.

Yan Qingcheng stood there, watching the pharmacy lady looking around the store. She didn't even buy any cold medicine and quickly walked away.

This Liu Chang'an! Yan Qingcheng was so angry she wanted to hit him. She was a pure young girl who, aside from fighting with boys, had never had any inappropriate contact with the opposite sex, and yet he was being told she needed to use something like Daktarin Suppository?

Yan Qingcheng knew that Liu Chang'an was always despicable, but he was relatively friendly to her and had never provoked or teased her... except that he often saw her with a bottle of orange juice in his hand.

Wasn't he going a bit too far today? When a female college student has a gynecological disease, there's usually a lot of gossip about her behind her back, and it's often linked to her having an immoral private life.

She had only glanced at the medicine he bought, hoping it would make him more aware and restrain himself. And he just played her for it?

However... Yan Qingcheng suddenly remembered what Liu Chang'an had said at the end, which seemed to have a double meaning.

Misunderstand?

Was he not actually misunderstanding her, but rather reminding her not to misunderstand him based solely on what she saw on the surface?

She realized that he might misunderstand her, but perhaps he was also being misunderstood by her. Yan Qingcheng began to understand, and the anger in her chest vanished without a trace.

But if that's the case... I feel like I'm becoming less and less understandable about this person.

Liu Chang'an carried two boxes of Daktarin Suppository and walked towards the top of Mount Lu.

Qin Yanan did not report her pregnancy to the school because if she were to take maternity leave, it would be best not to go to work, as employers are unwilling to assume maternity leave that can easily last for ten or eight years.

The Daktarin Suppository that Liu Chang'an bought were for Qin Yanan... Of course, Qin Yanan didn't have any gynecological problems, but these suppositories were a solution that Liu Chang'an had come up with to provide nutrition to the gestational sac.

Suppositories are solid preparations made of drugs and suitable bases, with a specific shape, intended for intracavitary administration. They are solid at room temperature but soften and dissolve rapidly at body temperature, releasing the drug.

It doesn't have to be filled with medicine; it can be filled with other things too.

Liu Chang'an arrived at Qin Yanan's suite on the mountaintop. The woman who opened the door was in her early thirties. She was full-figured and strong, and looked capable and efficient, but she didn't have that mercenary or shrewish feeling.

She's somewhat like the head of the servants in the homes of ancient nobles—senior, strong, and capable of keeping a group of maids and servants with their own agendas in check. She's the kind of person who follows the old lady in the backyard, and even the young masters give her face.

"Hello." Liu Chang'an nodded.

"Hello, you're here to see Miss Qin, right? She's in the hot spring room and will be out in a bit," the woman replied with a smile.

Her voice wasn't a loud, booming one; it had a gentle, melodious quality, suggesting she wasn't from the North. Tall, robust women like her are quite rare in the South.

"Okay." Liu Chang'an sat down. Why was Qin Yanan soaking in the hot spring again at this midday? No wonder she specially renovated the bathroom; she really likes soaking in it. Maybe she thinks her physique is so good that she doesn't need to worry about her skin getting wrinkled from soaking in too many hot springs.

The woman brought over a fruit platter, sat down beside him, glanced at Liu Chang'an briefly, and asked with a smile, "You must be the cousin Liu that Miss Qin mentioned?"

Liu Chang'an nodded. This was the person Qin Yanan had found to take care of her, someone she naturally trusted. Even so, Qin Yanan couldn't tell anyone that the person who was nominally her cousin was actually her brother, or rather, her great-uncle.

"Then you sit down first, I'll go to the kitchen to do some work." Seeing that Liu Chang'an seemed reluctant to talk, the woman got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Liu Chang'an watched the woman's back. Qin Yanan was "pregnant." From the perspective of childbirth, this woman was a good omen. She looked like she would have a good life and could bring a strong aura to the family with a "pregnant woman," dispelling the evil spirits that tried to take over the unborn baby's soul in her womb.

Of course, this is just a superstitious belief and does not conform to the core socialist values; Liu Chang'an was just thinking about it casually.

Liu Chang'an ate the fruit from the fruit platter. After a while, Qin Yanan came out of the hot spring room. She glanced at Liu Chang'an, and as soon as her heels touched the ground, a hint of joy at the unexpected satisfaction appeared on her face. Then, a blush rose to her cheeks, and she quickly bit her lip to stop herself from crying out. She hurriedly ran back to the bedroom.

There were only two women at home, and she ran out wearing very little clothing.

After a while, Qin Yanan came out in her home clothes, her hair half-dry and half-wet, wrapped in a hair drying cap, her cheeks still flushed with shyness. She sat down opposite Liu Chang'an without greeting him, and started biting into a large cherry, glancing sideways at the program on the TV in the living room.

"You were soaking in the hot springs, and she knew I was here without even telling you?" Liu Chang'an was somewhat suspicious. This was practically setting him up. What if he was a weak-willed person? What if he harbored evil intentions towards Qin Yanan?

Fortunately, he's a good person.

"She probably did tell me... but she didn't know I was listening to music with my headphones on. I vaguely heard what she said, so I just casually replied 'okay.'" Qin Yanan didn't want to explain so much, but since he had already asked, Qin Yanan couldn't very well say it was someone else's fault, or let him think she did it on purpose.

Even if it was intentional, it probably wouldn't matter... After a woman experiences this kind of accident a few times, she won't care too much.

However, this shy and reserved, slightly awkward attitude still needs to be maintained.

After Qin Yanan finished speaking, she picked up the fresh, juicy, Blood Red cherry and gently bit into it. The sweet juice bursting between her lips and tongue made her want to lazily lean against her lover's chest, eating it while leaning against him.

Spending an afternoon like this, with the cold wind howling outside the window, seems quite nice.

Qin Yanan only thought about it, because she knew that Liu Chang'an had classes in the seventh and eighth periods of the afternoon. Besides, if she leaned into his arms, he might even find it annoying. He used to be like a "Saintess," not letting anyone else touch him. Of course, he would let her touch him now, but his embrace was probably still reserved for that Little White lotus.

"Miss Qin, lunch is ready," the woman said as she came out.

"Have you eaten?" Qin Yanan, who had been watching TV, turned to Liu Chang'an and asked.

"Can't you eat again after you've already eaten?" Liu Chang'an had been watching TV the whole time, and he felt that this was an unnecessary question. It's common sense that you can eat again after finishing one meal.

Qin Yanan stood up gracefully, avoiding the woman, and whispered in Liu Chang'an's ear, "Can I eat again after I've already eaten?"

Her breath was moist and sweet. After speaking, she tried to pinch Liu Chang'an's shoulder, but his skin was too firm, so she pinched it with her fingernail, snorted in dissatisfaction, and complained about his thick skin. Then she walked to the dining table and sat down, looking at him with a smile in her eyes.

"Of course you can eat again after you've already eaten," she said, referring to meals, not food. Liu Chang'an firmly refused to allow her to belittle herself like that.

At the dinner table, they chatted about things that weren't really about saltiness or nutrition. The woman asked if the dishes were to her liking, and Liu Chang'an said they were good. Qin Yanan then asked for a bottle of chili peppers and a bottle of pickled radishes to eat with the rice.

After finishing their meal, the woman consciously went to the guest room that was usually prepared for Liu Chang'an, giving Qin Yanan and Liu Chang'an some space to talk.
