Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Even if Luo Lixi had many questions in her mind, she didn't ask Sheng Ruming who was looking at her, unblinking. She couldn't probably tell him look away, could she?! What if he thought she detest his attention? Luo Lixi didn't want him to misunderstand her only for invalied reason.

Luo Lixi felt a burning gaze on her as she felt uneasy. But she was a little happy in her mind now as she was able to see those food products which she liked a lot during a time in her life but dared not to eat too much as they contained too much protein. Now that she thought she was a little too slim, she could eat them without any worry.

When it was taking her a long time to unbag those things, she became irritated. There were many food products which she had never or ever heard of or seen in the bottom. She didn't know what to do with those things also she thought it shouldn't be a good thing to give them away without knowing what those are.

'I will ask Ruming later.' She thought as she turned towards the man. In return, he flashed her a charming smile. 

"Do you need help?"

"Ah...No no. I can do it myself." She hurriedly shook her head. Why would she even need help in something so simple like this task?! 

As she focused on the bag again, she took out a little paper box with beautiful design. There  was a little crystal bottle of the thumb length in it. The wrapper of the bottle had beautiful and exquisite Chinese words on it and the user description  was it should be mixed in milk to consume the oil. The words said it could increase a man's stamina.

Luo Lixi gulped when she saw it was whale's oil. Never in her life had she heard of anything of that sort. But she knew that people eat shark's liver oil for vitamin-D, also other medical related treatment but to drink the oil with milk to increase energy...the thought itself was nauseating to her.

Well, the world is so big and how much had she even seen?! So she thought it should be normal for men. Even if she had a brother, she didn't know if he also take things like that.

But the odd thing was that there were many other products like that which could increase a human's strength and energy.

Sheng Ruming had just seen that there were food products in this bag. His mother had placed the 'extremely' valuable and essential things below. Thus he didn't know about shark's oil or whatever. That's why he had given the bag so easily to her.

Luo Lixi turned over the whole bag with a little bit of afford. All the things dropped on the floor. She was cautious so that if there was any glass bottle or something like that, it wouldn't break due to the fall.

She found a little package among the food packets. It was from overseas as English was written all over the box.

Luo Lixi curiously took the box and scratched off a side with her sharp nail. 

"What is this?!" Sheng Ruming asked when he saw the tightly wrapped box in Luo Lixi's hand.

The woman also had an unknown expression on her beautiful face. She messily tore off the outer layer of the box. Sheng Ruming also came beside him with a questioning look.

When she finished tearing the wrapping, she saw it was a glass bottle with yellowish powder in it. When she rotated the bottle, she noticed a man's photo with eight packs was on the wrapper attached to the glass bottle. 

Sheng Ruming's black eyes narrowed when he had a glimpse of the writing on it.

Subconsciously, Luo Lixi read aloud the words one by one.

"Evergreen milkshake, good for…Ah! Hey!" Before she could finish reading what was written  on that bottle, Sheng Ruming snatched it from her hand and hid the writings of it. 

With the left hand, he took the wrappers from the ground and hurriedly stood up. Without any delay, he walked to the little  trashcan of his room and threw the bottle between the various messily folded papers of it. 

Usually, even if he always worked in his laptop always, sometimes, he also wrote on papers for unknown reasons. After that he would fold the papers and throw them in the trashcan.

"Why did you..?!" Luo Lixi was at a loss what to say anything further. she was displeased by his rude behaviour. 

"It was trash so I threw it away." Sheng Ruming replied without a single emotion on his face but Luo Lixi saw his face was turning red.

Luo Lixi was an adult, not a child who didn't understand adult things. She threw a side glance on the products she had placed at a corner. The matter was as clear as the fresh water to her.

She was very curious and so she asked him in the end.

"Umm… Ruming, who has given you these...Umm...those snacks?"

She appeared as if she was just only curious, nothing else.

"Why ask?"

"Well, never mind if you don't want to say." She could only scratch her left ear with her left hand in nervousness and leaned down her head as she focused on the things in grant of her.

Sheng Ruming cursed aloud in his mind as his rapid heart beating was cooling down. He was so shocked after reading the content of the bottle. If she had seen it she would definitely have misunderstood him which was...unacceptable to his male ego. When he heard her voice, he focused on her silhouette.

"Ruming, check these things and tell me what these are. I don't know about those. Also, I will take this five packets." She showed him the packets of biscuits, exquisite chocolate, nuts, energy bars and dried fruit. The other things she didn't want as those were too high in protein anfmd nutrients, she wasn't willing to be a fat woman even in her dreams.

Sheng Ruming picked up those unidentified objects from the ground which were separated from the rest of the packets. Even he didn't know about them as there was foreign language on the wrapper the both of them didn't know about. 

When he saw the edible oil in the crystal bottle, he carefully read the contents on it. After knowing what it was, his eyes shook violently. 

While being seated on her earlier chair, Luo Lixi tore off the packet of the protein biscuits while munching them as she was glancing towards him for a few seconds without blinking.

The embarrassed man was well aware of her gaze. When he turned towards her with the things in his hands, she showed him a smile just like he did before but when she ate a new piece of biscuit she bit on it very hard, her facial  expression was also misleading. Sheng Ruming's heart thumped against his stout chest like someone was drumming on it.
