Love You Till the End Chapter 1209 - 1207: Shi Mei vs Shi Keke (54)

"So this is your tactic, a way to keep me under your thumb. It proves you care about me more, even though you also care about my Young Aunt, the affection is on a completely different level."

"This alone shows you liked me a long time ago, and that you want to see me constantly."

As Shi Keke spoke, Shi Mei turned his head, casting a brief glance at her. "So adept at analysis now, why wasn't this talent apparent before?"

Shi Keke replied, "I was occupied with self-analysis. After all, I'm someone who's never been in a relationship. To genuinely understand if one likes or loves another, it requires extensive analysis over time to uncover the truth."

"Hmm, and then?"

"Then I realized I like you! Let me recall... when I was three, six, ten... eleven, twelve, thirteen years old... I likely began to like you around the time of my first menstrual cycle. Wasn't that when you schooled me on physiological knowledge and procured day, night, and extra-long sanitary napkins for me? Later, I read in a book that not every man would purchase sanitary napkins for a woman, and if you encounter one, you must cherish him. So, I followed the book's advice. I preserved all the sanitary napkins you bought me; I still couldn't bring myself to discard them."

"You still have them?" Shi Mei's sword eyebrows rose slightly, his eyes betraying a hint of disdain. "What sort of mold must have formed on them by now?"

"Something carefully preserved would never mold," Shi Keke stated. "Over the years, each month, I would retrieve those sanitary napkins, reorganize them, and dust them off. The last time Young Aunt visited with fruit, I wasn't home. As she possessed a key, she let herself in. She discovered the sanitary napkins I had taken out and placed on the bed, yet to be tidied, deemed them expired, and kindly disposed of them."

Shi Mei emitted a cold "hmm." "It's for the best they were thrown out; otherwise, people might suspect you of having some peculiar fetish."

"But I retrieved them," Shi Keke declared, turning her body to lean against a nearby shelf. Propping her chin, she gazed at Shi Mei and sighed. "I had just concluded a meeting when Young Aunt called, informing me she had tidied my residence, discarding unnecessary and expired items. I paid little attention to her call. However, upon returning home, I noticed the sanitary napkins on the bed were missing. I immediately contacted Young Aunt to inquire about the trash disposal location. Learning she had discarded them at a refuse station near my home, I was utterly devastated. There are four such stations in my vicinity, and they are all quite substantial..."

"That night, I searched for a full six hours before finally locating the discarded sanitary napkins at one of those stations. Fortunately, Young Aunt's actions were meticulous; she had packed those few packets of sanitary napkins in a thick, clean garbage bag, preventing contamination from other refuse."

"Brother, honestly, at that moment, I also considered that if I couldn't find my keepsake (the sanitary napkins), I would insist you purchase new ones for me, identical in brand and type!"

Shi Mei's expression darkened, his gaze clouding over, likely due to the unexpected realization that the sanitary napkins he had bought for her years ago had become a cherished keepsake.
