Downstairs, Nian Junting called Doctor Han. “My girlfriend is on her period, and she’s being unreasonably mad at me the whole time. What should I do?”
Doctor Han responded, “Eh… I’m a doctor, not a women’s studies specialist. Did you do something that made her angry?”
“No.”
“Is she having a stomachache? Is she in a bad mood?” asked Doctor Han.
“I only know that she’s feeling uncomfortable. Also, her period started earlier than normal.”
“Maybe she has endocrine dysfunction. I heard that women with endocrine dysfunction can be short-tempered and moody.”
“That’s possible.” Nian Junting nodded. “How do you fix that?”
“Give her a light diet, make her exercise more, don’t pressure her, and don’t argue with her, just tolerate her. Also, a high-quality sex life is necessary. A part of the cause might be a lacking sex life.” Doctor Han sighed. “I’ve made you an appointment with Doctor Liang, an expert in psychology. You should make time to see him.”
“Why? I think I’m very healthy.” Nian Junting’s face darkened.
“Yeah, you’re healthy when you’re with Miss Xu. But last time, you didn’t pass the examination that we did in the hospital. The doctor said that you’re healthy in a physiological aspect, so it might be some psychological problem,” said Doctor Han. “I think it has something to do with what happened between your parents.”
“So what? I’ll marry only Luosang anyway. I won’t do anything with any other woman. It’ll be good as long as my body responds to her,” said Nian Junting.
Doctor Han sighed, “Have you ever thought about why you’re with her? Is it because she’s the only one who can cure you, or because you really like her. Even if you do like her now, you might stop liking her someday. And when that happens, you’ll have to maintain your relationship with her because of this illness you’re having.”
“Why would I stop liking her?” Nian Junting was confused. “I like her now, and I’ll always like her. Han Ming, you won’t cheat on your wife in the future, will you? Should I talk to your wife?”
Han Ming was nearly driven crazy. “That’s not what I mean. I’m just thinking from your perspective.”
Nian Junting sneered and said, “Most men are awful nowadays. Bye.” After saying that, he ended the call, then sat on the couch to think about what Han Ming said about endocrine dysfunction.
Lack of sex life? Hadn’t they been having enough sex? Wasn’t one time per day enough? Nian Junting tried to figure something out.
At dinner time, Sister Lan dragged Luosang downstairs for dinner. She didn’t look at Nian Junting the entire time. Nian Junting quickly finished his food, then cleared his throat and said to Luosang, “Luo, I’ve talked to Doctor Han. He said that maybe you have endocrine dysfunction. You can think about doing some sports, such as running, also, I think we can… increase the frequency of that thing, from one time per night to twice.”
Luosang gripped her chopsticks, wanting to smash her rice bowl on Nian Junting’s head. Couldn’t one-time-per-night satisfy him anymore? Did he need to do it twice per night now? She believed that Nian Junting knew how tired she was but refused to consider her feelings. She didn’t understand how she had fallen for a man like that.
As Nian Junting prepared to continue talking, his phone began ringing. It was a call from Nian Qingyun. “What is it about?” he said blandly.
“Something very important,” said Nian Qingyun angrily. “Your sister just told me that she won’t get married to Ji Chuan. I’m pissed off. It was all fine yesterday. Why has she suddenly decided to cancel the wedding? Did something happen? I asked her why, and she actually told me that she needs to think about it, because this will affect her whole life, and that she doesn’t want to do this in haste, in case she might regret it in the future. How is this in haste? They have been engaged for such a long time, and she’s been waiting for Ji Chuan all these years. I’ve already told everyone about the wedding, and these days, I’ve been introducing Ji Chuan to my subordinates as my future son-in-law. What on earth is Nian Xi thinking?”
