Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015

Watching Eisuke Chida's departing figure, Xu Yan furrowed her brows.

Seeing Xu Yan's worried expression, Lin Chen chuckled: "Sister Yan, don't worry. People like Eisuke Chida are smiling tigers. The more you accommodate him, the more he'll push his limits. If you keep a tiger as a companion, you'll eventually get into big trouble."

Xu Yan sighed: "Of course, I know Eisuke Chida is no good, but as a Chinese woman here, without any support, I have to deal with him despite hating him. Otherwise, this bar would have been smashed long ago."

Lin Chen nodded: "Rest assured, Sister Yan, from now on, you don't have to bow to anyone, nor fear anyone, because I'm your backup. Anyone who dares to touch you will pay ten times the price. I'll hit them until they hurt, hit them until they're afraid!"

Xu Yan looked at Lin Chen with a bit of tenderness in her eyes: "Thank you, Xiao Chen."

A woman running a bar in a place like Shinjuku not only has to deal with the underworld but also faces all kinds of people. She's really tired and weary, longing for a shoulder to lean on.

But all the men here either have ulterior motives or are attracted to her beauty. Only Lin Chen has made her feel the warmth of a haven. She believes Lin Chen's shoulder is one she can rely on.

At this moment, Ye Zi ran over excitedly: "Brother Chen, you're awesome. You should have seen the look on those people's faces next to me just now, their eyes almost popped out."

Lin Chen rolled his eyes at Ye Zi: "It's all because you, silly girl, ran around recklessly, causing all this trouble."

"Hmph, who told you to bathe other women?" Ye Zi pouted.

Hearing Ye Zi's words, Xu Yan was taken aback and looked at Lin Chen with a somewhat strange expression.

"You silly girl, don't talk nonsense. That girl is my patient, I'm treating her, okay?" Lin Chen hurriedly explained.

"Oh, you were treating her, huh." Ye Zi finally realized.

Seeing there's nothing left to watch, the onlookers dispersed.

Lin Chen originally intended to take Ye Zi back, but this girl seemed to get along well with Xu Yan and insisted on staying there. Lin Chen thought of the troublesome Jia Xiaoqing at home, so he agreed to pick her up tomorrow and left by himself first.

Just as he stepped out of the bar, Lin Chen's phone rang.

The call was from Jia Xiaoqing. Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, wondering why this girl was calling at this hour.

On the phone, Jia Xiaoqing anxiously said, "Lin Chen, it's that time for me, can you buy me a pack of that?"

Jia Xiaoqing's voice was hesitant and carried a hint of shyness.

Lin Chen was speechless: "Sis, can you speak clearly? 'That time', 'a pack of that', what are you talking about?"

"You idiot, I mean that!" Jia Xiaoqing said angrily.

"Which 'that'?" Lin Chen was still confused.

"The thing women usually use." Jia Xiaoqing said, exasperated.

"Oh, that. Got it." Lin Chen suddenly understood.

Jia Xiaoqing finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You really got it, now hurry up and buy it for me."

"Oh my, I didn't think you were so open, going out without wearing underwear." Lin Chen couldn't help but exclaim.

"You, you... I'm not talking about that. My period came, and I forgot to bring sanitary pads. You need to go buy me some," Jia Xiaoqing, finally driven by Lin Chen's words, set aside her shyness and said bluntly.

"Sis, are you kidding me? It's already midnight. Where am I supposed to find sanitary pads for you?" Lin Chen replied, speechless.

"I don't care; you have to get me those pads," Jia Xiaoqing said anxiously.

"First, it's already midnight, and I really have nowhere to buy them. Second, as a guy, buying sanitary pads in the middle of the night is so embarrassing," Lin Chen said, frustrated.

"Lin Chen, I'm a girl staying at your place, already suffering because of the cold poison, and now I have to endure menstrual discomfort. How can I make it through the night without pads?"

Seeing that being tough wasn't working, Jia Xiaoqing switched to a gentle tactic, her voice pitiful and irresistible.

"Alright, I'll think of something." Lin Chen hung up the phone.

Looking around, although Shinjuku is the city that never sleeps, most places are nightlife venues. The convenience stores were mostly closed, so there was nowhere to buy anything.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen braced himself and headed toward the Night Shanghai Bar.

Xu Yan and Ye Zi had just gotten ready for bed when they saw Lin Chen return.

Ye Zi giggled, "Brother Chen, are you planning to stay here tonight too?"

Xu Yan and Ye Zi were both in their nightwear. Especially Xu Yan, wearing a lace transparent outfit, that left little to the imagination for Lin Chen.

"Brother Chen, what are you staring at? Do you think Sister Yan's is big?" Ye Zi gave Lin Chen a sidelong glance.

Lin Chen snapped out of it, blushing, scratching his head: "You silly girl, what are you talking about?"

Xu Yan laughed, "Lin Chen, what's the matter?"

"Sister Yan, could you lend me something?" Lin Chen asked, somewhat embarrassed.

"Lend something? Are you short on money?" Xu Yan asked, puzzled.

"Not money, it's..." Lin Chen blushed, unsure how to begin.

After all, asking a girl for sanitary pads in the wee hours was very awkward.

"Um, well, Sister Yan, could you lend me a pack of sanitary pads?" Lin Chen bit the bullet and finally said.

Hearing Lin Chen's request, Xu Yan and Ye Zi were stunned.

"Brother Chen, you don't have some weird fetish, do you? Why would you need that in the middle of the night?" Ye Zi asked, shocked.

"You silly girl, stop talking nonsense, it's not me, it's for my patient staying at my place. Their period came and they didn't bring any pads." Lin Chen said, flushed.

"Oh, I see. Okay, just wait, I'll get them for you." Xu Yan smiled.

"No way, Brother Chen. I've changed my mind, I'm going home with you," Ye Zi suddenly said.

"It's so late, why do you want to go home with me?" Lin Chen asked in puzzlement.

Ye Zi pouted: "Who knows what might happen when you two are home alone?"

Lin Chen rolled his eyes at Ye Zi, "You don't trust my character?"

Ye Zi looked at Lin Chen: "You're right, I really don't trust it."

Just then, Xu Yan came over with a pack of sanitary pads, "Here you go, Ye Zi, stop causing trouble and go back tomorrow, we sisters have a lot to chat about still."

Ye Zi glared at Lin Chen: "Hmph, then be well-behaved when you go back, and don't... with her..."

"Alright, alright, I got it." Lin Chen pocketed the pads, bid farewell to Xu Yan and Ye Zi, and turned to run towards home.

After all, Jia Xiaoqing was eagerly waiting for him at home.

At night, Shinjuku's streets were mostly empty, and Lin Chen dashed through them like a whirlwind.

Finally reaching his doorstep, just as Lin Chen was about to go inside, a figure suddenly blocked his way.
