For some reason, Lin Xinyuan had been feeling unusually restless and distracted lately, often lost in random thoughts.
After briefly calculating the days, she suddenly realized that her period seemed to be due again…
It’s said that before menstruation, a girl’s desire and hormones both increase.
No wonder she kept thinking about that guy during this time; it must be a normal physiological reaction, right?
Just thinking about how her underwear would be damp every morning these days made Lin Xinyuan blush slightly, feeling a little embarrassed to admit it.
Who says girls can’t be lustful!
Of course, it was all the hormones’ influence and had nothing to do with her…
As dawn gradually brightened, it seemed like another beautiful day was beginning.
Whether in university or high school, students were mostly on holiday at home, and with the year’s end approaching, the scent of firecrackers grew stronger.
But for the young girl, it wasn’t quite so pleasant.
She curled up in bed, her small face pale.
Lin Xinyuan had been woken up by pain; she hadn’t slept well at all last night.
The pain started early this morning and persisted until now.
Last night, she had been busy changing sanitary pads—thickened sanitary pads to prevent leaks—because so much was flowing out that she feared she might bleed out right then and there…
After a whole restless night, her spirit was exhausted, but her physical discomfort made it impossible to fall asleep.
However, compared to the first time she got her Big Aunt Flo, Lin Xinyuan felt noticeably better—at least it wasn’t as painful.
Though it was still quite uncomfortable…
But she could bear it.
She hadn’t eaten anything she wasn’t supposed to, yet the dysmenorrhea still persisted.
Luckily, she hadn’t eaten anything spicy recently; otherwise, she might have had to endure that kind of pain all over again…
To be honest, the light exercise she had done recently had slightly improved her condition, but it clearly wasn’t enough.
Her body was simply too weak; the effects of her premature birth meant she had been destined to be frail and sickly from the moment she entered the world.
Recently, her mother had started buying all kinds of nourishing ingredients and tonics for her to eat, which was good, but regulating her body took time.
She couldn’t suddenly start intense workouts, or if this happened a few more times, her body definitely wouldn’t hold up.
“Xinyuan! Get up for breakfast!”
Suddenly, outside the door came Tang Yayun’s sweet voice, accompanied by knocking.
Tang Yayun, still keeping a high school schedule, couldn’t quite adjust yet, and these days she still got up very early.
Among the three younger members of the family, she was the earliest riser.
“Mm… I know…”
Lin Xinyuan’s voice was a little hoarse, obviously tired, but too soft to be heard by Tang Yayun.
“Xinyuan?”
Not getting a response, Tang Yayun’s knocking grew a little more urgent.
Lin Xinyuan rubbed her head, really didn’t want to speak, and reluctantly got out of bed slowly to open the door.
“Miss, why aren’t you saying anything? I thought something might have happened!”
As soon as the door opened, Tang Yayun immediately asked, then saw the girl clutching her stomach with a pale face, and suddenly understood.
“Xinyuan, is this… your period?” Tang Yayun said repeatedly calling her “Xinyuan,” catching the faint scent of blood in the air.
Lin Xinyuan held her lower abdomen, frowning slightly, her voice weak: “Yeah…”
Hearing this, Tang Yayun thought for a moment.
She realized the breakfast she bought this morning had already grown cold and Lin Xinyuan certainly couldn’t eat it now, so she made a decision.
“Then just lie down, Xinyuan! I’ll go make some congee for you, okay? You’ll feel much better after drinking it!”
“…”
Lin Xinyuan wanted to stop her, but Tang Yayun had already dashed downstairs and didn’t hear her.
She sighed, went back to her room to rest, curling up again under the warm covers, placing the hot water bag her mother had bought on her stomach, feeling a little relief.
About an hour and a half later, Tang Yayun returned carrying a bowl, followed by their grandmother who had come after learning about the situation.
Their grandfather thought it inappropriate to come up and stayed behind.
After the girl finished the congee, the two left, wanting her to get a good rest.
Tang Yayun wanted to talk more with Lin Xinyuan, but seeing how listless she was, occasionally frowning in discomfort, she didn’t disturb her rest.
But Lin Xinyuan’s praise of the Shourou Congee Tang Yayun made made the girl very happy.
“Xinyuan praised my cooking!”
Tang Yayun thought happily.
After a few days together, she had clearly taken this cousin as a role model.
To her, her cousin not only had a good personality and looked beautiful but was also very smart.
She wondered what kind of man could ever be worthy of such a perfect Xinyuan?
Lost in thought, Tang Yayun closed the girl’s door and went to call her so-called ‘cheap brother’ down for breakfast.
What brother?!
Seriously…
After Tang Yayun left, the girl’s room became quiet again.
After finishing the congee, Lin Xinyuan felt much better in her stomach; it was warm and the pain was significantly eased.
But it was only temporary relief…
These days would last at least three or four more…
Just thinking about having to be tormented by Big Aunt Flo for so long, and every month too, made Lin Xinyuan feel dizzy.
Damn Big Aunt Flo…
When would this nightmare ever end…
It’s all that stinky Huang Mao’s fault!
Lin Xinyuan couldn’t help but think of Qin Nanfeng, her emotions getting a bit out of control as she vented her frustration inwardly.
So… how could she avoid Big Aunt Flo?
With that thought, Lin Xinyuan boredly opened her phone browser and started aimlessly searching keywords.
But this search soon made her blush deeply.
Are you… joking? Is that really the only way?
Doing “that” with a man?
No way!
Just the thought of a man on top of her gave Lin Xinyuan chills…
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but recall that certain guy.
If she really had to do it, then she might as well accept it with him, right?
Her mind raced, and Lin Xinyuan froze, her face showing both embarrassment and annoyance.
She…
Actually thought about that…
It was outrageous!
Absolutely impossible! Besides, he was a jerk, just thinking about him made her feel nauseous…
But…
It seemed only with that person could she accept it…
The girl shook her head and bit her lip.
Forget it! No matter how painful, she wouldn’t do something like that just because of Big Aunt Flo!
She couldn’t accept being with a man; who knows, others might be disgusted, and maybe she would be too…
As for other methods, there were some, but they all harmed the body.
Lin Xinyuan’s body was already weak, so naturally she wouldn’t be stupid enough to do anything so unwise.
Nothing much happened that morning.
In the girl’s room, the sound of a video playing and occasional quiet cries of pain proved that it wasn’t peaceful for her at all.
Still, it was too torturous…
Lin Xinyuan’s mind was foggy, trapped under Big Aunt Flo’s assault, unable to focus.
Her hands gripped the phone tightly but couldn’t concentrate on the video’s content at all.
She stared blankly at the screen, when suddenly an inexplicable wave of grievance overwhelmed her, making her feel miserable.
Tears instantly filled her eyes and silently fell.
Lin Xinyuan wiped them hard with the back of her hand; her eyes were slightly red.
She didn’t know why, but she just really wanted to cry.
Whether she was sad about her own fate or something else, she could no longer say clearly.
She had already accepted this fact…
Then why…
Why?
Did she still feel so melancholy and sentimental like a little girl?
Oh… no, she was a girl after all…
But it still made her feel a little uncomfortable and ashamed!
That tiny shred of male pride completely collapsed at this moment.
In the depths, she just wanted to grasp at any light she could find.
Damn Huang Mao.
Lin Xinyuan sobbed, her nose twitching as she wiped her tears.
She opened the green bubble app and sent that person a message:
“I’m in so much pain…”
