Chapter 544: Warm and comfortable sleep
After closing the bedroom door, he still felt like the bowl of stuff was meant for his Little Demon Rong to drink. He returned to the bed, took out his small cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and sent Rong Yan a message.
He waited for a long time without getting a reply from Rong Yan and his heart slowly sank back. Being just a kid, it wasn’t two minutes before he fell asleep with his phone in his arms, his head tilted to one side…
Li Shengxiao woke up the person on the bed with a cup of brown sugar water in hand, “Yanyan, wake up.”
Rong Yan, groggy, was propped up and given a bowl of water to her lips.
“Mm.” She didn’t want to drink at first, but the parched lips touched the brown sugar water, and she still opened her mouth in a daze, gulping it down.
Rong Yan managed to drink the painstakingly prepared brown sugar ginger water. Li Shengxiao gently laid her down and tucked her back in. He placed the bowl aside, climbed into bed next to her, and with a long arm, scooped her into his embrace. Following Cui Jiangjing’s advice, he placed his hand on the little woman’s cold belly and started rubbing.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
In a state between sleep and wakefulness, Rong Yan suddenly felt much better in her discomfort, as if the pain had lessened, and there was a warm glow, like a little sun was shining on her.
Her curled-up position changed into a normal sleeping posture, the furrowed brows relaxed, and even the pale, feverish complexion slowly reverted to normal…
Li Shengxiao’s massaging hand did not stop just because she was feeling slightly better; it went on for a very long, long time.
A night of sweet dreams.
The next day, the cell phone alarm rang, and Rong Yan was jolted awake from her dreams.
“Hiss~” She had sweated profusely in her sleep and felt especially uncomfortable as she sat up in bed. After coming to her senses, she suddenly felt a damp sensation down below.
Oh, please don’t let it be that…
Still clinging to a sliver of hope, Rong Yan lifted the blanket, and when she saw a bold patch of red on the bedsheet, all of her hope shattered.
It really was her period!
“Crap!” Rong Yan wanted to cry but had no tears. She remembered that under normal circumstances, her period wasn’t due for another two days, but it had come early. Probably the soup from last night had somehow brought it on early.
She had never anticipated facing such a situation: visiting the elders for the first time, not to mention spending the night, and then leaving a bed full of blood. It was as embarrassing as it could get.
As she wondered how to deal with the messy bed, someone opened the door.
The refreshing man came in from the doorway and seeing her awake, said, “You’re up? Take a shower, change your clothes, and come down for breakfast.”
Rong Yan wasn’t sure if he had noticed the bloodstains on the bed this morning and hesitated before telling him.
Li Shengxiao very naturally said before her, “Don’t worry about it, I’ll clean up later!”
Rong Yan immediately looked at him with a shocked expression.
Reading her thoughts, Li Shengxiao spoke in a low voice, “Li Duidui is waiting for you outside. If you don’t come down, he won’t eat breakfast.”
On hearing this, Rong Yan couldn’t care less about her embarrassment. She got up from the bed and quickly said, “I’m going to take a shower first.”
Li Shengxiao watched her get out of bed and remembered the information about menstruation he had searched for on his cell phone that morning, saying, “Don’t use cold water, just a quick warm shower will do. I’ve put the clean clothes and the things you need inside.”
