This was the first time Chi Yingyu had ever experienced such a severe period.
Not only did it come much earlier than usual, but her whole body felt as if it had been beaten—aching and weak all over.
Just managing to open the bathroom door by herself had already taken every ounce of her strength.
Otherwise, Chi Yingyu wouldn’t be curled up in her brother-in-law Jiang Lai’s arms right now, like a docile little kitten.
She had thought that after her brother-in-law turned into a woman, she would be even more delicate than Chi Yingyu had imagined, but it turned out Jiang Lai still had plenty of strength.
But now her sister was back.
Did she still have the right, or even a reason, to lean so comfortably in her brother-in-law’s embrace?
If her sister ever found out that she was trying to steal her man like this, Chi Yingyu felt she wouldn’t even have the face to look at her sister again.
Fear gripped Chi Yingyu’s heart, and she started to worry about even the smallest bit of intimacy with her brother-in-law.
Doing anything more would be a betrayal of her sister, seducing her own brother-in-law, wanting to claim him for herself.
This kind of thing—completely disregarding the bond between sisters—put a huge pressure on Chi Yingyu.
Periods could easily be affected by one’s emotions, and Chi Yingyu was simply suffering the consequences right now.
As the younger sister, as the brother-in-law’s Aunt, as the niece’s Aunt, she was thinking of driving out her own sister and having thoughts she never should have about her brother-in-law.
But the seed of this forbidden love had long since broken through the earth and sprouted.
Trying to uproot it now was impossible.
While Chi Yingyu was contemplating her actions and thinking about how she could possibly apologize to her sister in the future, Jiang Lai’s gentle voice sounded beside her.
“I’ll turn on the electric blanket for you right now. Don’t take your clothes off yet—the bed is still freezing.”
Jiang Lai had just felt the temperature inside the bed and found it icy cold.
She’d been so anxious and focused on the Aunt in the bathroom that she’d overlooked everything else.
She only realized now how careless she’d been.
She’d promised to take good care of her Aunt, yet she’d been so negligent about something this important.
“Are all girls’ periods this painful?”
Jiang Lai looked at the Aunt she had wrapped up in the blanket on the bed—her face was ashen, and her body was so cold it was frightening.
Jiang Lai gently stroked Chi Yingyu’s face, feeling the stark difference in temperature between her own hand and her Aunt’s cheek, and her heart ached terribly.
“I’ll take you to the hospital right now, okay?”
As soon as Jiang Lai finished speaking, she withdrew her hand, ready to call 120 and get her Aunt to the hospital as soon as possible.
But in her daze, Chi Yingyu gripped Jiang Lai’s hand tightly.
“There’s no need, this is normal…”
Chi Yingyu’s soft murmur sounded heartbreakingly fragile, but with how miserable she looked, how could this possibly be normal?
While Jiang Lai hesitated about whether to call 120, Chi Yingyu once again pulled her hand back to her cheek.
“This feels nice. I’m so cold right now.”
As much as she wanted her Aunt’s body to warm up, Jiang Lai couldn’t keep her hand on her Aunt’s face all the time; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to do anything else.
With one hand, Jiang Lai kept gently stroking Chi Yingyu’s icy-cold cheek.
With the other, she operated her phone, quickly searching online for what to prepare during a period.
If the pain was severe, she should buy some painkillers online and make sure to keep the body warm…
Only then did Jiang Lai realize how ignorant she had been in the past, not even knowing something so basic.
Even if she could use the excuse of “men and women are different,” she should have known these simple things.
Not to mention she had a daughter—if her Aunt hadn’t always been by her side, Jiang Lai really wouldn’t know what to do.
Jiang Lai knew she was dull and slow to react to things.
No matter how much she cared, she just couldn’t be attentive enough.
She was fully aware that whenever she overlooked something, it was always her Aunt who helped her clean up the mess.
So now that Chi Yingyu was powerless and needed her help, Jiang Lai wanted to take good care of her Aunt.
Even though Chi Yingyu told her not to call for an ambulance, if her Aunt didn’t get any better, Jiang Lai would definitely make the decision herself.
Chi Yingyu only felt unbearably cold, her limbs frozen as if encased in ice, so cold she could barely move.
Even though the electric blanket was pumping out heat beneath her and the quilt was wrapped tightly around her, no matter how well she kept warm, Chi Yingyu still felt as if she were in a freezer.
The cold was so intense she could barely hear Jiang Lai’s words beside her, and even the pain was numbed by the chill.
Chi Yingyu kept repeating, “So cold… so cold, so cold…”
Standing by the bed, Jiang Lai glanced at the painkillers in her hand, then at the cup of warm water she’d just prepared.
In this situation, how was she supposed to get Chi Yingyu to take the medicine?
Jiang Lai looked at Chi Yingyu’s pain-pale face, the cold sweat on her forehead, and put the medicine into her own mouth first.
She took a big gulp of warm water, then leaned down and pressed her lips to Chi Yingyu’s trembling ones.
“Swallow the medicine…”
Jiang Lai didn’t open her mouth to speak, but used her throat to make those words, her voice trembling, hoping Chi Yingyu would understand.
She pushed the medicine from her mouth to Chi Yingyu’s with her tongue, then slowly transferred the warm water as well.
Even though kissing her Aunt was an extremely intimate act, Jiang Lai had no other thoughts during the whole process—she just wanted her Aunt to swallow the painkiller.
As for kissing Chi Yingyu without permission, Jiang Lai would apologize to her in person once she got better.
Jiang Lai slowly fed the warm water from her mouth to Chi Yingyu, guiding her with her tongue, afraid that giving her too much at once would make her choke.
But the more she extended her tongue, the stranger Chi Yingyu’s reaction became.
Chi Yingyu was so weak she couldn’t even open her eyes, but when she felt her brother-in-law’s warmth, and that soft, moist tongue suddenly at her lips—
For a moment, Chi Yingyu had only one thought in her mind: she absolutely couldn’t miss this opportunity.
After all, this was her brother-in-law kissing her of his own accord.
Surely it wouldn’t hurt to be a little greedy, right?
