At the hospital ward.

‘That hurt a little...’ Jiang Yuan commented in her mind.
She pursed her lips, then ripped off the needle without care and wanted to jump off the bed after lifting the blanket.

He stood up, took a step closer, and extended his hand to catch her shoulder as he pushed her back to bed.

“Jiang Yuan, stop your mischief.”

Jiang Yuan pouted.
How bothersome!

“I want to get out of bed.”
“No,” he rejected her without hesitation.

“I’ll get it for you.”
Jiang Yuan felt her head throbbing. She looked at him coolly, and said, “I want to go to the toilet. Do you want to accompany me?”

The man’s ears had become even redder.

Jiang Yuan stayed in a VIP ward. Every ward had an ensuite washroom, and that was easier for them.
In the washroom.
Jiang Yuan’s mouth twitched as she noticed something that she could do nothing about.
Her period was here.
‘What should I do, what should I do, what should I do?’

Gu Xichao, who was waiting outside, suddenly saw the washroom door open, but it didn’t open fully.
Huh?
From inside, he could hear Jiang Yuan’s faint voice as if she had made a hard decision.
“Gu Xichao, can you help me buy sanitary pads?”
