Chapter 51: Menstruation

Qin Muxue wanted to say something else, but Lin Beixiu left, and Qin Muxue’s hand hung in the air, ultimately she said nothing, and her heart felt empty at that moment.

After waiting a long time without seeing Lin Beixiu return, Qin Muxue panicked. In the empty area, all the other sick people had family with them, only she was alone, similar to her childhood.

Qin Muxue glanced at Lin Beixiu’s jacket on her legs, picked it up and sniffed it, smelling his scent on it, her fingers tightly clenching it, perhaps this could give her some comfort.

“Muxue.”

Hearing the voice, Qin Muxue turned her head and saw Lin Beixiu standing there with a bunch of stuff in his hands, then sitting down next to her.

“Sorry, I came back late.”

Lin Beixiu tidied up a bit, took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap and handed it to her.

Qin Muxue took it, and once Lin Beixiu returned, she felt like she had her mainstay, relaxing a bit, but still couldn’t help but complain.

“It took so long.”

Lin Beixiu scratched his head, “Sorry, the queue was long, I even went out to buy water.”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore, does it?” Lin Beixiu said with a laugh.

Qin Muxue glared at him, but was too lazy to argue with him and closed her eyes to rest.

At that moment, she felt something on her body, opened her eyes and saw Lin Beixiu pulling the jacket over her body.

“Cover up well, don’t catch cold again.”

“Mmm.”

Just as Lin Beixiu had settled down, he felt the pressure on his shoulder, turned his head, and saw Qin Muxue’s head resting on his shoulder, sleeping soundly.

Lin Beixiu still wanted to move his hand, but eventually, he stopped it in front of her cheek and withdrew it.

Well, let it be.

…..

Lin Beixiu kept her company, and it was past three in the afternoon when the two bottles of water finally finished dripping.

When the needle was pulled out, Qin Muxue, who was asleep, was startled, and upon opening her eyes, she saw Lin Beixiu pressing on the back of her hand.

“It’s done.”

Qin Muxue then relaxed, feeling indeed much better.

“Do you want me to carry you?”

After stopping the bleeding from the wound, Lin Beixiu joked again.

“No need.”

Qin Muxue decisively refused, glaring at him angrily, though the feeling was quite nice, but she hadn’t settled the score yet.

Lin Beixiu then took her home. Arriving home, Qin Muxue couldn’t help but go to the bathroom to take a shower.

Lin Beixiu saw her like this and quickly stopped her.

“You just had an injection, don’t shower so soon, be careful of the wound getting infected.”

Qin Muxue had no choice but to give up, went back to her room to change out of her sweat-soaked pajamas, which were very uncomfortable.

Qin Muxue hadn’t even had the chance to lie down on the bed to rest when she felt a sudden pain in her lower abdomen.

Why now…..

Qin Muxue grimaced in pain, more painful than usual, her face also turned pale, her legs trembled, and finally, she endured the pain and walked out.

Her first thought was still of Lin Beixiu.

In the living room, Lin Beixiu saw her like this and was startled, quickly stepping forward to support her.

“What’s wrong again?”

“My period has started, the bathroom.”

Lin Beixiu supported her to the bathroom, watching as the door closed, Lin Beixiu stood at the doorway, shouting.

“Is there anything I can help with?”

“In my wardrobe, inside there’s that sanitary pad, help me bring it over.”

Qin Muxue’s weak voice came from inside, and Lin Beixiu listened, went to her room, opened the wardrobe, which was full of girls’ clothes, even including intimate apparel.

Lin Beixiu’s face flushed all of a sudden, mainly because… they were black.

Stop looking, focus on the important stuff.

Lin Beixiu rummaged through, and finally, in the bottom drawer, he saw a squashed package, checked it.

This should be it.

Lin Beixiu took the stuff, returned to the bathroom, knocked on the door.

“I’ve brought the stuff.”

The door opened a crack, Qin Muxue reached out, took the package of sanitary pads inside, then closed the door.

Lin Beixiu just stood outside waiting, took out his phone and began searching, such as what to pay attention to during a girl’s menstrual period.

Although he was a straight man, he had seen it on Douyin, in some comment sections like “drink more hot water”

“drink magma”

“Don’t make girls angry” and the like.

Although just as a joke.

Lin Beixiu asked Baidu, and it said to keep warm, you could also drink brown sugar water, eat some nutritious food.

In a little while, the bathroom door opened, Qin Muxue still had a pale face, finally sitting on the sofa.

“You go back to the room to rest, the room has air conditioning, turn up the temperature later.”

Qin Muxue got up and went to the bedroom, sitting on the bed, Lin Beixiu covered her with a quilt, and incidentally brought her a cup of hot water.

“I’ll go out for a bit, buy some stuff and come back.”

Seeing Lin Beixiu about to leave, Qin Muxue called him again.

“That, remember to help me buy a pack of sanitary pads.”

The one Lin Beixiu had given her, she only realized now, had only one left, and now it was gone, Qin Muxue hadn’t expected her period to come early.

“Oh, okay.”

Lin Beixiu tidied up a bit, then left again.

Qin Muxue lay on the bed, staring blankly, moved by how many times Lin Beixiu had run around for her.

….

Meanwhile, Lin Beixiu arrived at a nearby life supermarket, bought some ingredients for making brown sugar water, and a chicken, then thought for a moment, and went to the sanitary pad section.

He hovered at the entrance to the area, looking at the two rows of sanitary pads in front of him, daring not to step forward, some girls had already noticed him, whispering to each other.

Lin Beixiu’s mouth twitched, and finally, he walked in as if resigned to fate, started looking, and eventually found the brand Qin Muxue used, grabbed two packs and ran.

Lin Beixiu carrying a big bag of stuff paid and hurried home, pushing open the door, guessing Qin Muxue was probably still lying in bed.

Lin Beixiu busied himself in the kitchen, first boiling the brown sugar water, then pushing open the door, Qin Muxue hearing the noise knew it was him coming back.

“How is it, feeling much better?”

Qin Muxue shook her head, “It’s terribly uncomfortable.”

She hadn’t expected it to come right after she got home, her lower abdomen still hurt, and combined with the illness, her body was even weaker.

Lin Beixiu placed the two packs of sanitary pads he bought on her bedside, joking, the main person was here, still went to see someone else’s wardrobe.

“I bought the stuff you wanted.”

After saying this, Lin Beixiu went out, his cooking should be ready soon.

Qin Muxue looked at the stuff he bought, feeling a surge of warmth for a moment.

Soon, Lin Beixiu walked in with a bowl of brown sugar water, surprising Qin Muxue.
