Chapter 35: About Menstruation

Shen Mingxuan was stunned. “What’s going on?”

Bai Ruoruo was about to explain, but Jiang Mi spoke up first.

“Bai Ruoruo was uncomfortable due to her menstruation, forgot basic horse-riding safety, covered the horse’s eyes, and screamed, causing the horse to panic and buck. The instructor was kicked in the chest while trying to protect her.”

Jiang Mi’s succinct explanation left everyone silent, including Bai Ruoruo and Shen Mingxuan.

[Jiang Mi really can’t stop targeting Bai Ruoruo!]

[Jiang Mi is just describing what happened. If Bai Ruoruo’s fans see honesty as targeting, that’s their problem.]

[Bai Ruoruo always portrays herself as a kind and gentle fairy. But now, even though the riding instructor was injured saving her, she only thinks about herself when seeing the doctor.]

[Of course, the fairy only sees herself in her eyes.]

[She’s playing the victim again, making it seem like everyone is bullying her.]

The barrage of comments exploded, and the atmosphere at the scene was tense.

Shen Mingxuan asked softly, “Is that true?”

Bai Ruoruo wanted to say no, but the cameras had clearly recorded everything, so she could only nod.

Shen Mingxuan turned to Jiang Mi, guilt filling his heart. “Mimi, I thought…”

“You thought I was leading the bullying?” Jiang Mi retorted coldly.

Bai Ruoruo clung to Shen Mingxuan’s hand, looking pitiful. “Mimi, don’t think like that. Mingxuan wouldn’t do that.”

But the next moment, Shen Mingxuan held Bai Ruoruo’s hand firmly and looked at Jiang Mi with deep emotion. “No, I did think that way. Mimi, I wronged you.”

Bai Ruoruo felt a surge of uncontrollable fear. Did Shen Mingxuan’s words mean he was softening towards Jiang Mi?

Jiang Mi slightly frowned.

Suddenly, warm, dry hands clasped her fingers. Jiang Mi was momentarily stunned and turned to see Gu Chuan smiling at her.

All the suppressed sadness and the mixed emotions of gratitude and joy that belonged to the original person vanished.

But it seemed she had gotten involved with something unpleasant.

Jiang Mi gripped Gu Chuan’s hand tightly, her face returning to its usual cold and mocking demeanor. “It’s not my responsibility. The instructor is the one who should be apologized to or thanked.”

After speaking, Jiang Mi turned to Gu Chuan. “Let’s continue practicing riding.”

“Not watching the show anymore?” Gu Chuan asked with a light laugh.

Jiang Mi shrugged. “The plot is too cliché. It deserves a low rating.”

[Hahaha, a low rating from the gods? The plot is indeed cliché. The fairy is always pitiful, always weak, always bullied.]

[Oh wow, Bai Ruoruo’s fans just posted screenshots of her apologizing in the fan group last week, saying she performed poorly on the reality show and explaining her discomfort due to menstruation.]

[??????]

[Even though it’s a bit creepy, it’s been nine days since last Friday, and it’s still not over?]

[You haters, stop abusing my dear Ruoruo. It’s not right to shame her for work pressure and menstruation issues.]

As the barrage continued to roar, Bai Ruoruo tried to salvage her image by inviting the riding instructor to rest.

The instructor, holding his chest, declined. “Miss Bai’s riding skills are top-notch; there’s nothing more I can teach. Please feel free to do as you wish.”

Bai Ruoruo’s face instantly darkened, her eyes filled with gloom.

[Pfft, the instructor’s tone is so sarcastic.]

[Suddenly, the instructor seems quite straightforward, calling out things as they are.]

[This must be an attempt to deliberately malign our Ruoruo.]

[Please, the show’s crew hired professional instructors from the top equestrian club in Kyoto, with annual salaries in the millions. It’s not worth it to blacken her for a small benefit.]

[And this instructor has been advising Miss Bai to take responsibility for her own life. If she can’t ride, she shouldn’t pretend. It’s nonsensical to risk her life for the sake of pride!]

[Ruoruo does know how to ride. Today was just a bad day due to menstruation.]

[Fine, let’s say it’s menstruation. But nine days of menstruation is abnormal. She should see a doctor.]

[Wait, several professionals have criticized Bai Ruoruo’s riding posture, movements, and even her attire. It’s not just menstruation that’s the issue. Is it really so hard to admit you don’t know how? Mimi and Xiaoyu are much more straightforward.]

[That day, Bai Ruoruo finally realized menstruation wasn’t a panacea.]

[Hahaha, the comments are so ridiculous.]

Soon, Bai Ruoruo’s menstruation and her inability to fake riding skills became trending topics, with various groups mocking her.

To add insult to injury, many tagged Bai Ruoruo, suggesting she should ask Jiang Mi for a prescription since Jiang Mi had cured Shen Mingxuan’s ailments.

Look, Shen Mingxuan got better after drinking Jiang Mi’s prescription.

Bai Ruoruo’s menstruation issue would surely be resolved with Jiang Mi’s prescription.

Bai Ruoruo, resting in the lounge due to menstruation discomfort, listened to the assistant report on the various scuffles on social media. Enraged, she threw everything nearby onto the floor, shattering them.

“Jiang Mi, you damn bitch!”

The little assistant had never seen Bai Ruoruo so frantic before. Was this really the kind-hearted, soft-spoken fairy? Where did this crazy woman come from?

“What are you looking at? Do you want to mock me too?” Bai Ruoruo glared at her.

The assistant hurriedly lowered her head. “No, no, Ruoruo, the crew just reminded that the riding competition is about to start. Will you still participate?”

At the mention of the competition, Bai Ruoruo’s face darkened further. Gritting her teeth, she said, “I’ll participate!”

With the whole internet mocking her for not being able to fake riding skills, she couldn’t afford to hide now.

But she had to find a way to win the competition.

Suddenly, a determined glint appeared in her eyes.

Soon, the competition began.

[So the horse-riding competition is the main event today?]

[As the previous events piled up, the main event doesn’t seem so significant anymore.]

[Yeah, the horse tremors have already happened. What’s left?]

[There are still things to look forward to, like whether the fairy with a nine-day menstruation will persist in the competition.]

[Hahahaha, you’ve pulled out all the bamboo shoots.]

The rules of the riding competition were simple: male and female riders share one horse, and the first to reach the finish line wins.

Jiang Mi looked at the tall, majestic white horse before her, tilted her head, and a thoughtful glint appeared in her eyes.
