Nian Junting frowned and asked Luo Sang, “Are you having dysmenorrhea?”
Luo Sang was feeling a little uncomfortable, indeed. However, she was worried that Nian Junting might not let her go to school, so she shook her head. She was irritated now, and she didn’t want to see him.
“Alright, then I’ll drive you to school after breakfast,” Nian Junting said, then turned to Sister Lan.
“Have something warm and soft,” said Sister Lan.
Consequently, Nian Junting made her eat a bowl of warm porridge, a cup of warm milk, and a small bowl of wontons, and forbade her to touch any cold or spicy food. After eating all that, she felt a lot more comfortable.
Before leaving, Nian Junting ordered her to change out of her jeans into something else.
Luo Sang refused to do what he said. “I won’t. I always wear jeans during my period. Why can’t I wear them this time?”
“Because you need to wear something loose.” Nian Junting remembered every word Sister Lan had said and imagined some more details. “Your pants are too tight. They’re squeezing your stomach. What if it presses out more blood?”
Luo Sang nearly surrendered to his imagination. “Even if my pants pressed out more blood, it would be static blood.”
“I don’t care. Tight pants aren’t good,” he said.
“I don’t care. I don’t look pretty in loose pants.” She didn’t want to do what he said, even though he meant well.
Nian Junting narrowed his eyes and said, “Why do you have to look pretty? You should only think about being pretty in front of me. Whom do you want to be pretty for when you’re in school?”
Luo Sang gave up, as she was afraid that things might get worse. “Alright, I’ll change.” At last, she went upstairs and put on sports pants.
Nian Junting drove her to school. On the way, she ignored him completely and kept looking at her phone. Once they arrived at school, she immediately opened the door and got out of the car.
“I’ll have the chauffeur pick you up this afternoon,” Nian Junting said.
Luo Sang shook her head and said, “No need. I’ll sleep at my apartment tonight. I stayed at your villa because I was on vacation. Now I’m back in school. Living in my apartment is more convenient.”
“But you’re on your period, and Yan Su can’t look after you. You’ll need to cook for yourself if you live in the apartment. What if you get too tired?” Nian Junting disagreed strongly.
Luo Sang sighed. “I survived without you before. Besides… over time, it’ll grow boring if we stick together every single day.” After saying that, she turned and left.
Nian Junting spent a while looking at her back, then lowered his head to send a message. Before she had walked very far, Luo Sang received a message from Nian Junting. It won’t be boring. I won’t get tired of you, even if we stick together every single day.
Luo Sang rubbed her belly. The pain had faded, but now it was back. He’s a pig, a low EQ pig, she thought. Staying away from him during her period seemed to be the right decision to make. Otherwise, he might cause her to bleed to death.
…
Back in school, Luo Sang clearly realized that her classmates wouldn’t say bad things about her behind her back anymore. However, people seemed to be afraid of her and were unwilling to talk to her. That was enough for Luo Sang. She hadn’t come here to make friends.
She finished her first class in a state of concentration. During a break, the took out her phone to check her WeChat, then noticed Nian Junting’s newest WeChat Moment: Help, my girlfriend is in a bad mood because she’s on her period. What should I do?
Xiao Si: Eh? Sangsang is on her period? Buy her more sanitary towels.
Nian Xi: Ah, my future sister-in-law is on her period? You should just shut up, try not to make her angry.
Murong Cheng: Talk less, do more.
