Chapter 94: The Big Shot Doesn't Understand Menstruation
Unexpected events always happen faster than planned.
The demand for candied chestnuts increased again, and the thought of frying hundreds of kilograms the next morning led Bai Lu to sleep early to maintain sufficient energy and mental strength.
However, she was awakened in the middle of the night by stomach pain.
Xiao Cheng noticed the trembling in her arms, instantly opened his eyes, and turned on the light.
Bai Lu, under the light, looked pale, biting her lower lip, hands covering her stomach, and the pain furrowing her brows.
Her body curled up, with lazy, drowsy eyes fogged with mist, seemingly forced to open due to the pain.
Xiao Cheng quickly lifted her, pressing his forehead against hers, checking her temperature. "Don't be afraid; we're going to the hospital right away."
Bai Lu gripped his shirt, biting her lip, shaking her head. "No need, I'm fine..."
The pain in her abdomen intensified, and there was a slight dampness below. She probably knew... what was happening.
Xiao Cheng knew nothing, only aware that the girl in his arms was in great pain. He lifted her and prepared to get out of bed.
As the large bed emptied, the glaring red caught his eye. His pupils contracted, breath halted.
His arm stiffened, the action of holding her paused for a moment, then he quickly got out of bed, putting on slippers haphazardly, not even noticing they were on the wrong feet.
"Ah Cheng..."
"I'm really... fine... no need to go..."
Xiao Cheng's mind was a bloody haze; his eyes were red, ears deaf to any sound.
"Lulu, don't be afraid. We're going to the hospital. It'll be okay soon, don't be afraid."
He freed a hand to open the door, walking straight out. Moonlight highlighted the tense contours of his face, the nervousness too evident.
Bai Lu raised her hand, holding onto his neck, enduring the pain, and said softly, "Really, I'm fine; it's just... my period."
Perhaps it was the cold well water in the morning and the spicy food at night that caused the menstrual cramps.
In the future, Bai Lu wouldn't experience menstrual cramps, but due to her original body's poor condition, her menstrual cycle was often irregular. This time it was delayed by over a month.
Probably due to the recent recovery, unstable menstrual cycles, exposure to cold water, and the spicy food, causing intense pain, making her too weak to even stop Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng acted as if he hadn't heard, without a pause, walking to the front yard gate before stopping abruptly.
A gust of night wind blew, lifting Bai Lu's hair on her face, revealing her pale complexion.
Biting her tightly, lips made a sound, "So cold..."
"Ah Cheng, let's go back... skip the hospital... I have something... to tell you..."
Xiao Cheng only heard Bai Lu mentioning the cold. Subconsciously tightening his arm around her, his steps quickened.
It was the middle of the night, and everyone was asleep. The town was quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.
No streetlights, just dim lights in front of neighbors' gates and doors, like stars lighting the way.
Leading the way in the dark night.
The town's hospital, also called the health center, was not far, and they arrived quickly.
The on-duty doctor, seeing Xiao Cheng carrying Bai Lu, one anxious and the other pale and weak, thought it was some serious emergency, quickly arranging for examinations.
Seeing such a commotion, other patients hurriedly made way.
With limited medical equipment in the town, lacking high-tech instruments, simple body-checking devices were still reliable.
The results of the urgent examination left both the doctor and nurse silent.
"She's having her period," the female doctor explained to Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng's mother abandoned him when he was three, and his stepmother wasn't kind. He had never interacted with girls, not knowing what menstruation was.
Bai Lu lay on the bed, glancing at the slightly puzzled expression of the big shot who seemed clueless about everything. Initially in pain, she couldn't help but laugh more as she looked at him.
Silent laughter eased the pain a bit.
The female doctor, noticing Xiao Cheng staring at the examination sheet, silent and expressionless, seemed to want to ask but didn't know how to start.
Remembering his anxious look when he arrived, she thought he must be a good husband caring for his wife.
The female doctor cleared her throat, starting to educate Xiao Cheng on menstrual knowledge, covering every detail—when it comes, what can be done during, what should be avoided.
How long a gap is abnormal, what to eat, what not to eat, precautions against cold...
Every piece of knowledge about girls' periods was patiently explained by the female doctor to Xiao Cheng, who listened attentively. It seemed like she had spoken more in this session than throughout the entire day.
After a thorough lecture, the female doctor even reminded, "Your little wife's health isn't good. She suffered from malnutrition since childhood. Accumulated small health issues without seeking medical attention. To restore normal health, she needs gradual adjustment. Pay attention to rest, don't let her overwork."
"I see she's quite young; still studying, right? If that's the case, she should take care of her health. Once she enters the workforce, there won't be much time to care for her health. When busy, there's no time even for meals..."
A person who listens earnestly tends to leave a good impression. The female doctor gave Xiao Cheng many more pieces of advice.
After countless words of advice, she even took out two sanitary pads from her white coat pocket and handed them to Xiao Cheng.
Seeing the big shot walk over with two sanitary pads, Bai Lu, who was smiling moments ago, couldn't help but stop.
What needed to happen, happened.
"I... Want to go home?"
Xiao Cheng calmly sat by the bedside. His words covered everything Bai Lu wanted to say.
The room, smelling strongly of alcohol disinfectant, portrayed him with a usual face, neither cold nor warm. His deep eyes, once tainted with blood, now looked normal, fixed on her.
Bai Lu nodded slightly. She had just drunk the hot water the nurse gave her, took the medicine, and her stomach didn't hurt as much.
Let's talk about it when they get home. Bai Lu took the sanitary pads Xiao Cheng handed over and went to the bathroom.
Xiao Cheng helped her off the bed, escorting her to the bathroom door in silence.
Bai Lu quickly tidied up and came out.
In fact, her pants were stained, but they were dark black, making it hard to notice. Also, on the way, Xiao Cheng's arm, which was holding her, happened to block the stained area.
Xiao Cheng wore a dark black shirt, which turned red but wasn't noticeable at a glance.
When Bai Lu came out, Xiao Cheng was waiting at the door with the medicine and other things already prepared.
The road to the hospital was short, but the way back home was long.
The road was quiet, with no wind, and the branches were silent. Nobody spoke.
Only the footsteps, neither
fast nor slow.
