Chapter 716: Chapter 703: Extra 2: Everyone Loves Tang Zhaozhao (Part 4) (5,000 Words)

It turned out to be exactly where she had thought.

Tang Zhaozhao said, "Let’s go."

So, Tao Hai once again picked her up horizontally.

When they reached the place, Tang Zhaozhao cleaned herself a bit and then came up.

Mother had said that during one’s period, you shouldn’t soak in hot springs or take baths.

She was about to get out of the water when she saw Tao Hai coming over with his upper body bare, wearing only a pair of inner pants.

It must be said, Tao Hai had a very good physique, with eight-pack abs, tall stature, and even his face was a rare combination of delicacy and handsomeness.

But he wasn’t her type.

Before she fell for Chu Mu, she didn’t really have a type, but after falling for Chu Mu, it seemed like she compared every other person to him.

The conclusion was always that they were inferior to Chu Mu in every aspect.

Seeing Tao Hai continue to approach, Tang Zhaozhao widened her eyes.

"You... Tao Hai, what are you doing?"

"You beast."

Tao Hai crouched down close to her, lifted her chin, a slight smile on his thin lips.

"What am I doing? Obviously, I’m infatuated with you and want to make you a bit happier."

Hearing this, Tang Zhaozhao’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Wasn’t this the kind of talk found in adult novels? Oh, this Tao Hai, he truly is a rogue.

She was so angry that her face turned red, and she immediately raised her hand to slap Tao Hai.

But Tao Hai caught her hand.

"Young lady, you shouldn’t always resort to violence."

Tang Zhaozhao tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn’t manage it.

"Tao Hai, if you dare do anything to me, just wait until we return to the Capital. I’ll report you to Father, have him deal with you, and even the Imperial Tutor won’t spare you."

Seeing Tang Zhaozhao so angry she was about to cry, Tao Hai decided to give in.

"Hey, who said I would do anything to you? Your scrawny body doesn’t interest me at all."

Tang Zhaozhao widened her eyes, pouting with such anger her eyes turned red.

Her mother always said she was developing nicely, and here Tao Hai was calling her scrawny?

She... she just wanted to beat Tao Hai to death.

Tao Hai chuckled softly, "I came to give you clothes. Yours became unwearable, so I washed and hung them up for you. Wear mine for now."

Tang Zhaozhao was taken aback by Tao Hai’s words.

This... Is this rogue really being so kind, or is there some kind of scheme?

Seeing Tang Zhaozhao not moving and just soaking in the hot spring, Tao Hai couldn’t help but laugh.

"What, Zhaozhao, do you actually hope I do something to you?"

Tang Zhaozhao was utterly furious with Tao Hai.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Oh? Then why aren’t you putting on clothes?" Tao Hai said, his gaze sweeping over Tang Zhaozhao.

Even though only her neck and above were visible, Tao Hai’s look still made Tang Zhaozhao blush with embarrassment.

"Give it to me, you jerk."

Tao Hai laughed.

Then he said, "Right, I tore my undergarments to make some menstrual pads for you. Remember to use them."

At this moment, Tang Zhaozhao really wished for a lightning strike to cleanly take her out.

She was truly dying of embarrassment.

And yet, Tao Hai added another remark.

"I already cleaned them with soap and dried them over a fire."

Tang Zhaozhao closed her eyes, too lazy to say anything.

Tao Hai had teased Tang Zhaozhao into a shy little quail, unable to hide his smile.

"I’ve placed your clothes by the shore. You can get them yourself."

Then Tao Hai left the area and went outside the dense forest.

Only then did Tang Zhaozhao rise from the hot spring.

But from that day on, she found her period to be heavier, her waist and legs weak and sore, with no energy at all.

Indeed, she shouldn’t have soaked in the hot spring.

Tao Hai knitted his brows and moved closer to Tang Zhaozhao, "Is it always this uncomfortable when you have your period?"

Tang Zhaozhao glared at Tao Hai, "It’s your fault. If you hadn’t messed with me, I wouldn’t have stayed in the hot spring so long, and I wouldn’t be so uncomfortable now."

Tao Hai was stunned; he hadn’t known that soaking in hot springs while on one’s period was bad.

He said, "Sorry, I didn’t know that. Is there any medicine that can make you feel better?"

Tang Zhaozhao replied, "No, I’ll just endure it."

Tao Hai said, "I heard that when the Empress Dowager was in exile, she made a stone pot. I made one too, and I’ve boiled some hot water. Drink some to feel better?"

Tang Zhaozhao nodded weakly.

Once she drank the hot water, Tang Zhaozhao finally felt a bit better.

And the wild rabbit they had planned to roast was also stewed by Tao Hai using the stone pot. Although it’s much more difficult than with an iron pot, with enough time it could be eaten.
