He dialed the front desk.
After carefully communicating with the staff, Wen Suihan hung up the phone and grabbed his coat to head out.
It wasn't that the front desk service was lacking, but rather, Wen Suihan had been stumped by a series of questions from the receptionist.
The receptionist asked, "Sir, what size of sanitary pad do you need? Is it for daytime or nighttime use? Do you prefer cotton or dry-weave? Any brand preference?"
Wen Suihan was at a loss for words, having never known that there were so many particulars to this matter.
Since he couldn't articulate his needs, he decided to simply make a trip to the supermarket, as seeing the physical products might make it easier to choose.
Wen Suihan arrived at a 24-hour convenience store near the hotel.
Though past midnight, the cashier at the register was nodding off, yet there was a young couple in the store picking out snacks.
Both looked quite young, like college students who hadn't yet graduated.
