The math teacher said, “Being proud is a good thing. It means that you’re very good. Some people have nothing to be proud of.”

Ye Qingran frowned. “But I only did well in this test. How can I…”

The teacher interrupted her. “If you can do well once, it means that you can get good score in every exam.”

The other students were speechless.

Ma’am, you didn’t say that just now.

The teacher was being unreasonable with her favorite student.

Ye Qingran smiled, “Ma’am, since you think so highly of me, then I’ll try.”

Mu Qingxue held her test paper tightly and looked at Ye Qingran resentfully.

She couldn’t control the hatred in her heart. She wished that Ye Qingran would disappear from this world..

After class, many students surrounded Ye Qingran, wanting to know how she had improved her grades so quickly.

A little overwhelmed, she lied that her stomach ached and fled.

Her stomach was indeed a little uncomfortable today. Her belly felt cold and heavy as if she was on her period.

According to the body’s memory, her period seemed to be coming soon, probably in the next few days.

Just in case, Ye Qingran went into a small shop on the way back and bought two packets of pads.

As soon as she got home, she smelled the aroma of food.

Ever since that day when she and he Cizhou almost blew up the kitchen, Chu Yan had hired a maid.

Every afternoon, the maid would come to the house to do the cleaning and cooking.

Today, she came back a little later and the maid had already finished cooking and left.

Ye Qingran washed her hands and sat down at the dining table. She ate a small bowl of rice, three dishes, and a bowl of soup.

After supper, Ye Qingran realized that her period had really come.

She went back to her room to take a shower and planned to go to bed early. However, waves of pain came from her lower abdomen, and it was becoming more and more intense.

According to the body’s memory, she should not have menstrual cramps.

Then why was it so painful?

Before she entered the book, she had menstrual cramps every month. Her entire body would get cold, and sometimes the pain would be excruciating.

Could it be that she brought the menstrual cramps into this new body?

This was too f*cking ridiculous!

Ye Qingran bent over in pain and went into the kitchen downstairs to get a bowl of brown sugar water.

She lay on the sofa, waiting for the brown sugar water to cool down.

The pain was getting worse.

Ye Qingran drank the brown sugar water, but it did not bring any relief.

She had planned to take the bowl to the kitchen and then go back to the bedroom.

In the end, it was so more painful that she couldn’t get up.

She placed the bowl on the coffee table in front of the sofa and lay down again.

When Chu Yan returned, he saw Ye Qingran lying on the sofa.

She was curled up into a ball and her face was scrunched up. She looked to be in pain.

Chu Yan’s gaze turned cold as he sat down beside her. “What’s wrong with you?”

Ye Qingran opened her eyes. “My stomach hurts. Can you buy me some painkillers? Ibuprofen will be fine.”

After she said that, she immediately closed her eyes.

Chu Yan stared at her with a serious expression. “Why does your stomach hurt so much all of a sudden? When did it start?”

Ye Qingran said, “It hurt for a while just now. Maybe I ate something wrong during lunch. I will be fine after taking some painkillers.”

Chu Yan looked serious and said, “You can take painkillers as you please. Besides, I’ve never heard of people taking painkillers when their eat something wrong. Get up. I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up.”

He reached out to pull her up.

However, Ye Qingran dodged his hands.

The hospital that Chu Yan was taking her to wouldn’t be the one that her mother was the familiar with.

Any doctor would know that she was a girl with just a simple check-up.

Moreover, she was suffering from menstrual pain. It was ridiculous to go to hospital for it.

Ye Qingran said weakly, “There’s no need. It’s not serious. You can still take some painkillers if you eat something bad. I went to the school’s medical room in the afternoon and was told to take some painkillers. It will pass soon.”

It will pass soon?

Chu Yan frowned slightly and fixed his gaze on Ye Qingran’s face.

Her small face was very pale, and cold sweat was still breaking out on her forehead.

It looked like she was in excruciating pain.

It was serious and she must go to the hospital.

Chu Yan pulled her up. “Get up. You must go to the hospital.”

Ye Qingran brushed his hands away. “I know my own body very well. I don’t need to go to the hospital, and I don’t want to go to the hospital either.”

Chu Yan slowly stood up and pursed his lips. “Why not? Are you afraid of getting an injection?”

Ye Qingran quickly said, “No. It’s just that I don’t need injections. I often had stomachaches when I was young. I’ll be fine after a while.”

Chu Yan looked at her strangely.

Ye Qingran had closed her eyes. Chu Yan looked at the coffee table. There was still a little bit of brown sugar water left in the bowl.

He put his slender fingers on her abdomen and pressed against it. He asked her, “Does it hurt here?”

Startled, she moved away from him. “Yes, I used to have this when I was little. Anyway, it’s not serious. I really don’t need to go to the hospital.”

“It looks like you’re having menstrual cramps.” Chu Yan’s tone was indifferent. He didn’t sound surprised, as if it was just a casual metaphor.

Ye Qingran did not know if he knew or was just trying to test her.

She forced out a smile, pretending to not understand. She only responded with an “Oh” and then said, “I researched online. It says I’ll feel better in stomach if I drink some brown sugar water. I just had some, so I should be fine soon.”

Chu Yan reached out and stroked her head. “I see.”

With tousled hair, she said pitifully, “Brother, my stomach is hurting a lot. Can you let me rest for a while? You keep talking to me and pulling my hair. You can go and buy some painkillers for me, or do your work. I want to sleep.”

“Wait for me.”

Chu Yan stood up and went out to buy medicine for her.

He came back not long after with ibuprofen that Ye Qingran mentioned.

Ye Qingran fell asleep very quickly after taking the painkiller.

Chu Yan carefully carried her up in his arms and went to her bedroom. He gently put her down on the bed and covered her with the blanket.

When he turned around to leave, he suddenly stopped.

His dark and sharp gaze fell on the drawer that was opened at the side.

Inside the drawer was a pack of sanitary pads and it had been opened.

Chu Yan stared at it blankly for a while and then looked at Ye Qingran, who was sleeping soundly. His eyes were as deep as the sea.

Suddenly, he smiled. “You really are…”

He reached out and closed the drawer.
