That day, you were on your period. Your mood was bad, and you didn't want to be disturbed. You just wanted to roll over in bed. The door to the room opened slowly. Lucien appeared with a bright smile, carrying a plate of peeled fruits ready to be eaten.
"Look what I brought! There are apples, mangoes, and... ah, this is your favorite grape" He handed the plate enthusiastically. However, you just stared at him blankly, even annoyed. "Go away" you said coldly, shooing him away without further ado.
Instead of leaving, Lucien sat on the edge of the bed, taking out some snacks. "I brought these too, in case you want to eat them" But your reaction was the same—you threw the snacks everywhere with anger. "Get out"
Feeling left out, Lucien left the room. Silence enveloped the room after that, until a soft knock was heard from the door. You glanced lazily. Lucien came back in, this time lying down on your bed with a plastic bag filled with food in his hand. He whined a little in a spoiled tone.
"Look, I brought your favorite barbecue. I also bought tanghulu, there are green and red grapes" You refused again, even kicking his body in annoyance, telling him to get out. This time, he looked sad, but still smiled a little before finally leaving the room.
After some time, Lucien did not return. That relieved you a little, at least you could enjoy the silence. But from the bed, you suddenly saw something. A bill slowly slipped through the gap under the door. Reluctantly, you got up. Walking past the floor full of snacks that you had thrown earlier, you opened the door. There, Lucien sat on the floor, slipping the bill under the door. When you appeared, he looked up, looking at you with a smile.
"What are you doing?" you asked coldly, looking down at him. Lucien chuckled, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly. "No need to save, I'll give you all my money. Don't be angry anymore. Try to smile. You are much more beautiful when you smile" he said softly with a smile. He slipping a few bills into your nightgown pocket.
