Chapter 24: Period

After leaving the cafeteria, Chu Yunshu wandered aimlessly around the school like she had lost her soul.

Sunlight fell on her body, but it failed to warm her cold heart.

Once, She freely enjoyed Shen Qingxuan’s devotion, And thought everything was only natural, But when this special attention suddenly shifted away, she felt an unspeakable pain.

She walked without direction, and before she knew it, she arrived at the school’s lakeside.

Looking at the calm lake surface, memories with Shen Qingxuan kept resurfacing in her mind.

The details she ignored before now became exceptionally clear.

On the other side, Shen Qingxuan and Jiang Yubing walked out of the cafeteria and strolled side by side along the school paths.

In the afternoon, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

“Where are we going to have fun?”

Shen Qingxuan tilted his head and asked Jiang Yubing, his eyes filled with anticipation.

“Let’s go to the amusement park. I haven’t ridden the Ferris wheel in a long time.”

Jiang Yubing’s eyes shone with excitement.

When they arrived at the amusement park, the two queued up to ride the Ferris wheel.

As the Ferris wheel slowly rose, the city scenery spread out before them.

“Look, over there’s our school.”

Shen Qingxuan pointed into the distance, his voice carrying a hint of excitement.

Jiang Yubing followed his gaze and looked over, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

“Yeah, it looks so small.”

When the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, Shen Qingxuan’s heart inexplicably beat faster.

He secretly glanced at Jiang Yubing beside him.

She was engrossed in the view out the window, her profile especially beautiful in the sunlight.

When they left the amusement park, evening approached.

They entered a dessert shop and ordered two signature cakes and milk tea.

“Thank you for coming out with me today.”

Jiang Yubing stirred her milk tea and spoke suddenly.

“I should be the one thanking you for helping me deal with the trouble from Chu Yunshu.”

Shen Qingxuan scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

“Actually, I’m not completely helping you.”

Jiang Yubing paused, her gaze avoiding his.

“Being with you, I feel more at ease, and much happier.”

Shen Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curved up in a bright smile.

“So do I.”

At that moment, Chu Yunshu sat on a bench by the lakeside.

Her phone screen lit up—it was a message from Zhao Juan: “Yunshu, what’s wrong? Talk to me.”

She hesitated for a long time, then replied:

“I’m fine, just a little tired and want some time alone.”

After sending the message, she gazed at the dark lake and muttered to herself, “Shen Qingxuan, I hope you find happiness.”

After saying this, she took a deep breath and got up to head back to the dormitory.

Chu Yunshu returned to the dormitory.

Her roommates noticed something was off about her.

They all shot her concerned glances, But she just waved her hand and said nothing, Climbing straight onto her bed and pulling the blanket over her head.

In the darkness, she kept replaying the past in her mind.

The night breeze blew gently, bringing a slight chill.

Jiang Yubing spoke softly, “Well… it’s getting late, let’s go home.”

Shen Qingxuan nodded.

He responded gently, “Okay.”

The two of them walked side by side, their figures stretched long under the streetlights.

When they arrived home, Shen Qingxuan stepped out of the bathroom after his shower.

He saw Jiang Yubing curled up on the sofa, her whole body looking very weak.

He frowned slightly and asked with concern, “Why are you still not asleep?”

Jiang Yubing’s voice was weak and powerless, “Shen Qingxuan, my stomach hurts.”

Shen Qingxuan walked quickly to the sofa and saw that Jiang Yubing’s face had turned pale as paper.

She seemed fine when he went to take a shower.

But after only a few minutes, How did she get into so much pain?

For a while, He was at a loss of what to do.

“Can you sit up? I’ll carry you to the hospital.”

As he spoke, Shen Qingxuan reached out, preparing to pick her up.

Jiang Yubing struggled to sit up.

Shen Qingxuan saw this and hurried to help her up.

When he touched Jiang Yubing’s arm, He felt it icy cold, and his worry deepened.

“This isn’t right at all. You have to go to the hospital.”

After saying that, he directly lifted her into his arms and held her securely.

Jiang Yubing anxiously tugged at Shen Qingxuan’s arm, And spoke weakly, “Shen Qingxuan, I’m just on my period.”

She forgot that it was her period these days, And earlier she even greedily drank iced milk tea.

When Shen Qingxuan learned the reason, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Then I’ll carry you back to your room.”

Shen Qingxuan’s voice became unusually gentle and soothing.

Jiang Yubing softly murmured “Mm,” her voice so low it was almost mosquito-like.

Shen Qingxuan carefully placed her on the bed, And gently pulled the blanket over her before turning to leave the bedroom.

After a moment, Shen Qingxuan returned to the bedroom carrying a cup of hot water.

He simply sat at the bedside, waiting for the hot water to cool down.

When the water cooled, Watching Jiang Yubing finish drinking it, he finally left the room, reassured.

Not long after, He hurried back carrying a plastic bag.

When he entered the bedroom, Shen Qingxuan took out the newly bought warm patch from the bag.

Looking at Jiang Yubing, who lay on the bed, His voice was gentle, with a hint of inquiry, “Can you get up now?”

At this point, Jiang Yubing was in so much pain she didn’t feel like talking.

She just lay there and shook her head lightly.

Seeing Jiang Yubing sweating from the pain, Shen Qingxuan’s eyes filled with worry and distress.

“I bought a warm patch. Stick it on and the pain will ease.”

Jiang Yubing hesitated, then weakly spoke, “Can… can you help me put it on?”

Shen Qingxuan was stunned for a moment.

He felt a little conflicted.

How could he put it on for her?

There should be boundaries between men and women.

Besides, he had no idea how to use it.

Seeing his hesitant look, Jiang Yubing knew exactly what he was worried about.

She couldn’t help but feel touched.

Even when she was in so much pain, He still respected the boundaries between them.

He didn’t take advantage of her while she was weak.

She said softly, “It’s fine, just help me.”

Shen Qingxuan had no choice but to agree, gritting his teeth, “I don’t know how to stick it on.”

“Help me turn over,” Jiang Yubing managed to say through the pain.

Shen Qingxuan did as she asked, helping Jiang Yubing lie face down on the bed.

“Open the warm patch and stick it on my lower back.”

Jiang Yubing continued to give instructions.

Shen Qingxuan’s hands trembled a little as he gently put the warm patch on.

He asked nervously, “How is it? Is it in the right place?”

Jiang Yubing replied softly, “Yes.”

The pain eased a little.

Shen Qingxuan carefully helped Jiang Yubing roll back over.

He looked at her pale face and asked, “Are you still cold?”

“Yeah.” Jiang Yubing answered in a tiny voice.

Shen Qingxuan said without hesitation, “I’ll go out and buy another blanket.”

Jiang Yubing quickly refused, “That’s not necessary. Just hold me for a while.”

It was late at night.

She didn’t want Shen Qingxuan to go out running around for her again.

Shen Qingxuan was stunned on the spot.

Hold her…

This.

Jiang Yubing waited for a long time without seeing him move, So she simply burrowed right into his arms.

Shen Qingxuan smelled a light fragrance around his nose, His body tensed for a moment, Then he gradually relaxed.

He gently reached out his arms

And held Jiang Yubing tightly.

“If you’re in too much pain, remember to call me.”

Shen Qingxuan spoke softly in her ear.

Jiang Yubing murmured quietly, “Mm.”

Her voice carried a hint of satisfaction and reassurance.

Shen Qingxuan looked at her profile, his heart filled with emotion.

Then he reached out, And gently switched off the light.

The room instantly plunged into darkness.
