Even though she was wearing an overnight pad, online information suggested there was still a chance of leakage!
Thick black pants would have been fine, but she was wearing camouflage pants, which were very thin!
Song Qiuyu brainstormed for a bit, then nodded and said, “Ah, yes, yes, you’re absolutely right.”
She slipped her hand into her pocket, pulling the lightweight military training camouflage pants further back, feigning calmness: “Xie Zhuran, Gu Nian, you two go back first. I still want to wander around the base.”
She looked around intently, “Maybe I can pick up some items to take back too?”
“Then we’ll look forward to it!”
Xie Zhuran and Gu Nian nodded, then left with their wooden sticks and branches with tangled vines.
Song Qiuyu closed her eyes, slightly relieved.
The moment her tense nerves relaxed, a trickle of cold sweat ran down her cheek, and she felt the cramping pain in the center of her lower abdomen more clearly.
She remembered a male netizen once said that women’s period pain was just a tickle for men.
So, this was a tickle?
No, that’s not right.
She had turned into a girl now, so that male perspective probably didn’t apply to her anymore?
Her thoughts were a bit muddled.
She composed herself, then recalled the nearest restroom.
Things were getting complicated.
She went from just needing to find her lost pad to enduring period pain and having to find a restroom to dispose of a bloodied pad…
Even worse, she might need to change to a new pad, change her underwear, and wash her underwear!
If she couldn’t find the one she dropped, she might even need to buy a new one from the small shop!
Being outside the dormitory now, she didn’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
She followed her memory of the restroom’s direction, dragging her aching body, walking as carefully as possible.
She couldn’t walk fast; if that warm flow went down her thighs… then she’d really be finished!
As she walked, passersby kept turning to look at her.
In the past, passersby looking back was the most common thing, but now, her pressure doubled.
She even wanted to just sprint there.
As this thought popped into her head, she caught a glimpse of a flyer on the ground out of the corner of her eye. It was a flyer for a nearby gym.
But the main point was that this flyer was covering something white, and the corner sticking out looked very much like her lost pad.
Song Qiuyu remembered.
She had casually taken this flyer earlier, then after a few glances, she threw it into the trash can!
Perhaps when she threw the flyer, she accidentally threw the pad out with it, and it fell to the ground.
The flyer itself was light, so it was probably blown to the ground by the wind afterward, covering the pad?
She quickly walked over, crouched down, and removed the flyer.
Indeed, the item under the flyer was the pad.
Her heart was filled with joy, as a few insignificant whispers drifted past her from behind.
Song Qiuyu instinctively grabbed the pad and stuffed it into her pocket, then stood up, pulled her cap brim lower, and threw the flyer back into the trash can.
The passersby didn’t notice her.
There were too many camouflage-clad freshmen in the large military training base.
Just looking at their backs, most of them were like copied and pasted background characters from a comic.
Who would bother to take another look at a background character?
Song Qiuyu turned around, hands in her pockets, trying to minimize her presence, head down, and walked past them.
If this was where the thrilling spy game vibe began, by the time she arrived in front of the men’s and women’s restrooms, her entire brain was already operating on overload.
Since she would most likely have to dispose of a bloodied pad, there was only one direction she could go – the women’s restroom!
If she went to the men’s restroom to dispose of it and other men found out, who knows what trouble might arise.
But if she went to the women’s restroom and encountered someone she knew…
Help.
She didn’t want to be a pervert!
Song Qiuyu bit her lip, her hand in her pocket clenched tightly.
She cautiously deliberated for two seconds, then resolutely lowered her head, turned, and entered the women’s restroom.
Fortunately, there was no one outside the stalls.
Safe.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
“You guys, why is Song Qiuyu from the class next door so good to Jiang Xiao?”
Just then, a slightly sharp female voice suddenly rang out from outside the women’s restroom.
At the same time, three sets of footsteps kept approaching the women’s restroom.
Song Qiuyu froze, her pupils dilating.
Without hesitation, she darted into a stall and closed the door.
Although she was quite concerned about the situation outside, she understood priorities.
So, gritting her teeth, she unbuckled her belt to check the condition of her pad.
“Does that even need to be said? Anyone with eyes can see it, right?”
A soft, sweet female voice laughed and replied.
Song Qiuyu was startled, recalling the previous incident with the JK girls, and instinctively felt a sense of unease.
They wouldn’t also mistakenly think she had improper intentions towards Jiang Xiao, or that she was lusting after Jiang Xiao’s body, would they?
“Definitely in love!”
The soft, sweet female voice was incredibly firm.
“Last night, the moment I saw Jiang Xiao catch Song Qiuyu’s hat, my mind immediately conjured up a ten-thousand-word campus romance novel!”
Looking at the large patch of bright red on the sanitary pad, Song Qiuyu heard this and pursed her lips, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
In the minds of some girls, she and Jiang Xiao were already dating…
Hah, how ridiculous! They had been connected online three years ago and had already broken up! The “male god” Jiang Xiao in their eyes was nothing but a pure, innocent young man whom she… whom she had played with in the palm of her hand!
“Just dating? I bet they even had sex?” a low female voice teased.
“You really get me.”
“Who was on top?”
“Does that even need to be said?”
Song Qiuyu perked up her ears.
“It must be Song Qiuyu on the bottom, after all, he’s quite famous for his looks, right? He’s even been promoted as the new campus belle. Tsk, I can already imagine Song Qiuyu frowning after being messed up by Jiang Xiao pushing her down!”
“…” Song Qiuyu strongly resisted the urge to interrupt them, frowning tightly, and awkwardly changed her sanitary pad.
This brand of sanitary pad was completely sealed in its individual packaging, so even if it had been on the ground for a long time, it could still be used once the outer packaging was torn open.
If it were other brands that weren’t fully sealed, she would have had to go to the small shop to buy new ones.
If someone she knew saw her then, that would be another troublesome situation.
She finished changing, but her left hand was unfortunately “damaged,” stained with a small amount of blood.
Fortunately, the three girls outside quickly went into their respective stalls, giving her a chance to leave.
Song Qiuyu opened the stall door as quickly as possible, walked out, rinsed her hands with water, and then, before they could, practically fled the women’s restroom.
She didn’t relax until she reached the main path.
She never wanted to experience that again!
Over the next few days, the military training saw both sunny and rainy weather.
The incidents of directing students picking up strange things and bringing them back to the dorms, rain or shine, became increasingly frequent.
Eventually, they even made it onto the “Essence Posts” section of the Nanxi Bar forum.
The upperclassmen on the forum, and even the military training instructors and counselors, were extremely calm.
It seemed all directing students went through this.
The internet had its cyber-hounds; the directing department had their own hounds—no one knew what strange things their roommates would bring back to the dorm tomorrow.
Song Qiuyu and Jiang Xiao naturally joined in.
However, more than being a “hound,” Song Qiuyu was more concerned with the messages Jiang Xiao sent her alter account every afternoon at a fixed time.
Jiang Xiao continued to report on her as a roommate, as usual, but occasionally he would also express some concern for her.
Song Qiuyu was tormented by her period until the day of the military training camp closing ceremony.
During those seven days, she had abdominal pain for a while every day.
At first, she could push through it, but after a while, anyone with eyes couldn’t pretend not to see it.
She hid with great difficulty but managed to get through it.
As soon as her period ended, she felt reborn, participating in the parade and cultural performance with renewed vigor.
Xu Tongtong recorded the entire cultural performance with her camera.
As soon as the comedic skit about the wedding procession and robbers ended, she immediately went up to them.
“Classmate, could you please introduce yourself and talk about your experience performing in the skit and finishing this military training?” Xu Tongtong asked Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao ignored her.
“Excuse me, Jiang Xiao is introverted and doesn’t like to talk, I’ll do it, I’ll do it!” Song Qiuyu skillfully took over the conversation.
Jiang Xiao glanced at Song Qiuyu, his expression clearly indicating disagreement with that statement.
The “2025 Directing Department Freshmen Military Training Vlog” was uploaded to Nanxi’s official Douyin account.
That night, the official backend exploded, with 99+ comments.
