The evening arrived.
Li Se recalled the events of the past few days, feeling them to be somewhat surreal. It had only been a short while, yet he was already worth millions, a sensation akin to a dream.
He took a deep breath. With his newfound wealth, he could finally provide a good life for his mother.
Suddenly recalling something, Li Se hesitated. Should he visit Zhang Aimin? Although he hadn't observed closely, he was certain that Zhang Aimin's menstrual pain was quite severe.
After pondering for several minutes, Li Se ultimately decided to visit the widow's house.
Seeing Li Se, Zhang Aimin's eyes brightened slightly. Then, unable to resist, she teased, "I didn't expect you to knock on a widow's door in the middle of the night."
"Didn't you ask me to treat you?" Li Se replied somewhat sheepishly. Misunderstandings could easily arise from him visiting at this hour.
"Come in quickly!" Zhang Aimin suddenly reached out and pulled Li Se inside, swiftly closing the door behind them. An outsider might have assumed they were about to engage in intimate activities.
Pulled in so suddenly by Zhang Aimin, Li Se lost his balance and stumbled forward, landing on her and then on the ground. His face happened to collide with her chest, causing him to feel momentarily breathless.
Fortunately, Li Se reacted quickly, moving away from Zhang Aimin. He helped her up from the ground and said, "Sister Min, you were a bit too sudden, and I didn't quite react in time."
"Sister Min, I'll start the treatment now." Li Se took out his acupuncture kit. "I gave you a brief examination on the bus. Your menstrual pain is quite severe; you probably can't even get out of bed during your period, can you?"
"Mhm, mhm," Zhang Aimin nodded immediately. "No medicine seems to help."
As a widow, she had to rely on herself. Yet, during her period, she was confined to bed, utterly alone and adrift.
Li Se said, "Sister Min, please lie down on the sofa."
Li Se took a deep breath, constantly reminding himself that he was a doctor and should not harbor impure thoughts. However, it was not easy to calm his mind.
He had experienced something similar before, when treating Aunt Xia Shuyu. In such moments, it was truly a mix of pain and pleasure.
After a session of acupuncture, Zhang Aimin miraculously found herself feeling light. It was her menstrual period, and according to the norm, she should have been experiencing discomfort. Yet, now she felt nothing at all. She couldn't help but peck Li Se on the cheek, exclaiming with emotion, "Little brother Li Se, thank you so much! I truly feel no pain whatsoever."
"Holy cow, I just got kissed!" was Li Se's first reaction, though he found the sensation rather pleasant. After putting away his acupuncture kit, he told Zhang Aimin, "Just try to eat less cold food, and you should be fine."
"Okay," Zhang Aimin nodded obediently.
Li Se felt it was inappropriate to linger at the widow's house any longer and got up to leave.
"Little brother Li Se, are you leaving already?"
Li Se almost couldn't resist the urge to pounce, but he knew Zhang Aimin was teasing him. As it was her period, it wasn't suitable to stay any longer, so he turned and made his escape.
"Hehehe..." Zhang Aimin couldn't help but laugh. "This kid is quite pure. But he is rather handsome."
The next day, a red sedan was parked by the entrance of the residential compound. Leaning against the car door was an exceptionally beautiful young woman. Anyone entering or exiting the compound couldn't help but steal a second glance; she was too stunning.
Many people even approached her, but without exception, they were all coldly rejected by the beautiful young woman.
Li Se planned to purchase more Chinese herbs that day, as the ones he had bought a few days prior had all been used up. As he stepped out, he encountered Xia Shuyu. He felt a bit surprised but still walked towards her.
"Look, someone else is going to hit on this beauty."
"They're definitely going to get rejected."
"But this kid is quite handsome."
"What's handsome good for?"
Many people were watching the spectacle.
Li Se approached Xia Shuyu and asked doubtfully, "Why are you here?"
The onlookers were stunned. "Damn it, this beauty is so proactive!"
The two soon left. In the car, Xia Shuyu, while driving, said with admiration, "You're truly amazing, getting Shen Long to back down. How did you manage that?"
"Elder Wei helped," Li Se did not hide the truth from Xia Shuyu.
"As expected," Xia Shuyu had indeed guessed this. "But you're incredible. Just this morning, Shen Long announced that half of his annual profits would be donated to charity, which caused a huge sensation. He's now become the biggest philanthropist in our Qingyun City."
Shen Long, through this charitable act, had garnered considerable goodwill for himself.
However, Li Se didn't care about that as long as Shen Long honored his commitment.
The car stopped in front of a large shopping mall. Xia Shuyu willingly linked arms with Li Se and stuck out her tongue, saying, "Let's go, accompany me shopping."
The clothes in this mall were all very expensive. Li Se had only visited once before, when he had brought Zhang Yunyun along. He had spent over two thousand yuan on a single T-shirt and had to live on instant noodles for the rest of that month, not even daring to add ham.
It had only been a short while, and he was already a millionaire.
They entered a women's clothing store. Xia Shuyu was already beautiful, and the clothes she chose were all quite expensive. When she put them on, she exuded an aura that made people feel as if they were bathing in spring breeze.
"How is it? Am I very pretty?" Xia Shuyu twirled in front of Li Se.
"Yes," Li Se nodded involuntarily.
"Li Se, what are you doing here?"
Just then, a familiar voice rang out.
It was none other than Zhang Yunyun.
Li Se looked over and saw that Zhang Yunyun was accompanied by a different man. It wasn't Chen Dakang from before; this one was younger and more handsome, clearly a second-generation rich heir.
Upon seeing Li Se and Xia Shuyu, Zhang Yunyun became furious. Last time, this woman had caused her to be dumped by Chen Dakang. Now that she had found two even more impressive rich heirs, she naturally no longer feared them. She raised her chin and asked, "Can you afford the clothes here?"
