Chapter 1646: Chapter 1646: Going Out
It was only long into the future that she realized, this Professor Du Le, so deeply hidden, turned out to be a legendary figure that shook the world!
He was also the person who directly changed her destiny.
Two months passed by swiftly.
Until one day, she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, rushed to the bathroom, and was taken aback; her period had arrived.
During the two months in this world, her body was weak from injury, so her period did not come during the first month.
She could only urgently seek help from Madam Roland, asking her for sanitary pads.
Upon hearing her request, Madam Roland’s usually carefree smile became a bit stiff, and she replied plainly, "I really don’t have anything like that."
"Don’t you usually keep some on hand in case of need?" Yiyi was curious; girls are used to preparing such personal items in advance.
Madam Roland’s smile was peculiar: "What’s the point of preparing them? They expire in two to three years without being used, which is a waste."
Yiyi was a bit confused, two or three years? However, Madam Roland seemed reluctant to say more on this topic and continued.
"Wait here, this stuff probably isn’t even on the town’s supermarket shelves; it needs to be bought at a big supermarket in a nearby city. I’ll get it for you."
Yiyi was even more surprised. Are such things really so rare? You actually have to go to a major city’s supermarket to buy them; on Earth, you could get them from the convenience store downstairs.
Yiyi didn’t realize that the women here were completely different from her; their ovaries had degenerated, and they didn’t have monthly periods but half-yearly, yearly, or even multi-yearly cycles.
They rarely needed them, so of course, the demand was low. A pack could last years, so general supermarkets seldom carried them.
"Madam Roland, take me with you! I also want to see what the big city here is like." Yiyi’s eyes shone with excitement.
She was filled with curiosity about this brand new world and wanted to go out and see it. She hadn’t stepped outside in the two months she’d been here.
Oh my god, she was practically going to mold away.
"You don’t have an ID; if you’re discovered by the police while outside, it could be very troublesome."
Madam Roland looked at her hair and saw her pleading, adorable face. She felt a bit sorry for Yiyi, who hadn’t been out for so long.
"Alright, let’s just be careful. We’ll only explore the outskirts, not the city center. But you’ll have to completely cover that hair of yours; otherwise, it’ll be a big problem."
Yiyi was puzzled, touching her long hair with confusion: "What’s wrong with my hair? It’s quite ordinary."
"Ordinary?" Madam Roland picked up a strand of her long hair and looked down, her tone complex. "This hair color is more precious than diamonds, and only you can say so casually that it’s ordinary."
Yiyi was shocked, utterly astonished.
Isn’t it just hair? To say it’s more valuable than diamonds is unbelievable.
She looked at Madam Roland’s beautiful blonde hair, which was much prettier than her own. If anything were rare, it’d be this kind of blonde hair, she thought.
Seeing her bewildered expression, Madam Roland explained to her the relationship between hair color and fertility in women of this world.
Upon hearing about the fertility issue, Yiyi was dumbfounded to learn that this glossy black hair, in the eyes of the world, symbolized boundless vitality and was vehemently sought after.
After hearing about the fertility issue, she looked at Madam Roland’s lovely blonde hair and suddenly understood why Madam Roland had mentioned buying sanitary pads that could expire after two or three years.
She felt a bit of sympathy for Madam Roland. During her two months here, she hadn’t noticed the couple had any children and originally thought they were Dinks.
