As it was getting late, Shi Mei and Shi Keke decided to go home.

When leaving the Shi Family’s house, Shi Mei said to Shi Yu, "I’ll leave this task to you."

On the way back, Shi Keke and Shi Mei didn’t speak, and the atmosphere in the car was somewhat oppressive due to their silence.

Shi Keke frowned and broke the ice, "Stop by the supermarket later, I need to buy something."

Shi Mei, holding the steering wheel with both hands and staring straight ahead, just responded with a hum, not saying anything further.

Shi Keke didn’t mind his indifferent attitude because he often ended conversations with her with a simple "hmm" or "got it."

The car drove for about seven or eight minutes and stopped outside a 24-hour supermarket.

Shi Keke took some change out of her bag to get out of the car, but Shi Mei was a step ahead, unbuckling his seatbelt and getting out. He turned to look at her and said coldly, "Wait in the car."

After saying that, without waiting for Shi Keke’s response, he took big strides into the supermarket.

Shi Keke: "..."

This domineering man, how could he not even ask what she wanted to buy? Or did he just assume that whatever it was, it must be food?

After entering the supermarket, Shi Mei went straight to the sanitary products section. A salesperson saw him and quickly approached, "Sir, is there anything you need?"

Shi Mei didn’t respond but glanced meaningfully at the shelf nearby.

The salesperson immediately understood, "Oh, you are buying sanitary napkins for your wife. Do you have a preferred brand? If not, I recommend this one. It’s ultra-thin, dry and soft cotton, no damp feeling, and helps remove toxins from the body."

She introduced what seemed to be a new "sanitary napkin" to Shi Mei, hoping for some reaction, but he merely glanced over it briefly and then looked at the shelf again.

The implication was clear: he wasn’t interested in that brand of sanitary napkins!

The salesperson felt awkward; introducing sanitary napkins to a man is awkward enough, and he didn’t even respond.

Thinking it might be better to let him choose for himself, but Shi Mei still hadn’t found a suitable pack after some time. Helplessly, the salesperson walked over, taking a mid-priced one to show him, "Sir, if you don’t like the previous option, you might try this one. It’s 42 cm long, prevents leakage, allowing women to sleep peacefully during their period."

Shi Mei coldly hummed in response, not even glancing at the sanitary napkins in her hands.

This time, the salesperson finally accepted the situation, putting the sanitary napkin back on the shelf and stepping aside.

Shi Keke searched around the supermarket but couldn’t find Shi Mei. Assuming he used a side exit, she didn’t mind and went to the sanitary products section to buy a few packs of sanitary napkins.

She had a habit of stocking up on a few packs before her period, keeping some in her car, some in her bag, and some in the office, so she wouldn’t face an embarrassing situation in case of unexpected needs.

She didn’t expect to see Shi Mei at the sanitary napkin counter.

He was standing in front of the shelf, inspecting pack after pack of sanitary napkins. His eyes were slightly squinted, and his face displayed an uncommon seriousness.

It’s hard to imagine a man being in such a state while selecting sanitary napkins.
