Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 26

"What? Now I see... But..." As a result, the two students felt rather regretful for failing to have their permission.

Soren put his arm around Elsa's shoulders, crouched down and took her in his arms. "You can't just see our good relationship destroyed, can you?"

In order not to disappoint the young students, Elsa wanted to give them the photos. However, she chuckled. The story Soren had made up was so interesting, and it sounded so true. If she agreed to let them use the photo at this time, it would destroy the good intention of Soren. She wanted to let them take a picture of their backs at first, but since she was not convenient now, she had to apologize to them, "I'm really sorry. You'll take a better one."

Soren left to help Elsa with the private affairs that she just told him. The two students had no choice but to leave disappointedly.

In a few minutes, Soren came back with a big bag. He handed a simple shirt to Elsa to tie it on her waist. Then he put the bag into her hands and said, "Let's go to the nearest teaching building."

Accompanied by him to the teaching building, Elsa went into the washroom in a hurry and opened the bag. She felt so embarrassed. Her period was supposed to be two days later, so she hadn't prepared for it. When she sat there just now, she felt the warm flow between her legs. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know why her period came in advance. She managed to persuade Soren to buy some menstrual pads for her and didn't want to get caught in the photo. What a bad luck!

She opened the bag and saw all kinds of brands of pads. He might not know which brand she could use so he just bought all of them. He even considerately helped her buy a coat so that she could cover her dirty trousers.

After changed the pad, she washed her hands and slowly walked out of the washroom. She saw him standing by the window of the corridor and looking at the scenery outside. She felt a little embarrassed and walked forward and said: "Thank you."

No matter who he was, a man would always be appreciated for doing such a thing for women.

Soren took her hand and said, "Then we should go home now. You must be tired running here and there."

Elsa nodded. She sat on his bike and put her hands around his waist. Through his thin sport shirt, she felt his burning skin and hard muscle. Her face heat up.

In the evening, Soren was going to ask Ron out for dinner, which was the wedding feast he owed him. But he gave up when he found that Elsa wasn't in good health.

Elsa felt great pain and didn't eat much at dinner. She lay on the bed for a while, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She was restless and anxious. Maybe it was because she had that surgery before, she always suffered in the first two days of her period. Journalists worked day and night. Fortunately, they could have a rest every month. In the past, Elsa used to take the rest every month for these two days.

Soren had come in for several times. Although he was considerate, he had no idea what to do. Elsa didn't want to ruin his precious vacation. She smiled apologetically and said, "I'm fine. I just need to take a break. Go ahead with your own business."

"Okay." Soren nodded and walked out of the room. As soon as Elsa heard the door opened and closed, she weakly tilted her head and continued to lie on the pillow.

After a time, smelling a fragrance, Elsa opened her eyes and found Soren standing next to her with a bowl of soup in his hands. He was blowing on the soup, the scent of which permeated the room and made her feel hungry at once. It turned out that he went out to buy something.

"Let me do it myself." She took the bowl. She didn't want to ask him to take care of her for such a small issue.

Soren gave it to her and said, "I went to Grandma's home for food. And I also brought some for you. She especially prepared this assorted fruit and vegetable soup for you. Have a try and see if you like it."

"It's so kind of her." Taking a sip, Elsa said, "It's very delicious. Does Grandma live nearby? I want to find some time to thank her."

"Take care of yourself first. Grandma just lives behind us, so there will be many chances to visit her. Every time I came back, I would go there for free meals."

Elsa took a sip of the soup again. Then she suddenly remembered something and said, "Well, there's one more thing to tell you."

"By the way, I have something else to tell you." The two almost spoke at the same time.

"You first." They said it together again. It was so funny. In order to avoid this situation from happening again, Soren directly went out of the room. When he came back, there was a hot-water bag in his hand.

"Grandma gave me this." He opened the quilt and put the bag into Elsa's hand.

Hearing that, Elsa blushed. "Why did you tell that to Grandma?"

"I don't know much about it. So I just mentioned it in passing. Don't worry. I didn't tell Grandma it was you. She won't know it."

"Do you really think that grandma can't guess it?" Elsa refuted his lame logic.

Soren kept laughing and said, "What did you want to say just now?"
