Just as An Jing finished eating and put down her chopsticks, a sudden sharp pain in her stomach made her furrow her brows immediately.
Noticing her discomfort, Xiao Changyi immediately asked with concern, "What’s wrong?"
An Jing quickly relaxed her brows, smiling and said, "It’s nothing, you can clear the dishes, I’m done eating."
Seeing her complexion wasn’t off, Xiao Changyi believed her and nodded, "Mhm."
But no sooner had Xiao Changyi turned to wash the dishes at the stove than An Jing felt a twinge of pain in her stomach again, a kind of pain she had experienced before, all too familiar, she quickly got up and hurried to the inner chamber.
As expected, yet unexpected, she saw blood.
An Jing was stunned for a good while before she came to her senses, feeling both surprised and conflicted.
The surprise was that she really did get her period, just as she turned nineteen in this body.
The complexity lay in the fact that Lin Anjing thought to her death that she couldn’t get her period.
An Jing touched her no longer pallid face and silently understood why Lin Anjing never got her period before—probably due to severe malnutrition, and since she and her husband had improved their nutrition, her body gradually recovered, and so the period returned.
An Jing swiftly made herself a sanitary pad in the inner chamber and changed her pants until she had completely taken care of herself, then she returned to the kitchen, where Xiao Changyi had already finished washing the dishes and was wiping down the counter.
An Jing immediately bounced over, hugging Xiao Changyi’s waist from behind, and buried her face in his back, giggling foolishly.
Xiao Changyi didn’t quite understand what had gotten into An Jing, but since she was happy, he was happy too, and the corners of his usually cold mouth curled up just like that.
It wasn’t until he finished wiping the counter and had washed and dried his hands that Xiao Changyi turned around and embraced the person who only knew to giggle but said nothing.
While being hugged, An Jing just nestled in Xiao Changyi’s arms and laughed outright.
Xiao Changyi didn’t ask An Jing what was going on but just held her, chin resting on top of An Jing’s head, feeling immensely satisfied. The person in his arms was his entire world.
After An Jing had laughed enough, she looked up with a smiling face and said, "Husband, I have some great news for you."
"I got my period!" When Xiao Changyi didn’t react, An Jing repeated, emphasizing her words this time.
Seeing that he still didn’t react, An Jing pretended to sigh and said, "Alright, I guess you’re too happy to say anything."
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Changyi found himself torn between laughter and tears, but he eventually collected himself, though still in disbelief, "Are you serious?"
An Jing mischievously raised an eyebrow, "Do you want me to take off my pants and let you see for yourself whether it’s true or not?"
Seeing Xiao Changyi’s utterly speechless expression, An Jing stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the lips, then said, "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore, it’s true, cross my heart, I wouldn’t joke about this."
Though she often jokes about being unable to have children, she had never said anything about her period.
Xiao Changyi also understood that An Jing wouldn’t joke about her period, but still, he found it hard to believe. After all, when he’d resolved to be with her, he thought she would never get her period. But now...
An Jing added, "Though I got my period, don’t get too excited too soon, there are also women who can’t have children even if they get their periods. Besides, even if I can have them, who knows, I might end up having only daughters just like I joked with you last time."
