Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Luo Sang had no sympathy for him. She covered her head with the blanket and stayed grumpy for quite a while before falling asleep. The next morning, she was awakened by an uncomfortable feeling in her belly. She sat up and found a large bloodstain on the bed. She was startled at first, but then she felt extremely embarrassed. She remembered that her period was supposed to start in a few days, but now it had come ahead of time. Was this because she had been so angry last night?

Nian Junting wasn’t awake yet. She sneakily took the sheet to the bathroom. She put on clean underwear and pants, then began washing the sheet. Before she had finished, Nian Junting suddenly came in.

He had a sour look on his face, and his back hurt from sleeping on the couch. He was very unhappy, so he hadn’t planned on talking to Luo Sang. However, as he turned his head to find that Luo Sang was washing a blood-stained sheet, he instantly became nervous.

“Did you bleed? Are you hurt?” He hurriedly walked over and held her hand.

Luo Sang blushed and turned to give him a threatening glance. He was puzzled for a while, then realized what had happened. “I remember. Women bleed every month.”

Luo Sang didn’t know what to say. Her period had started early because of this silly man. She didn’t want to talk to him but continued washing the sheet.

“Let Sister Lan do it.” Nian Junting decided to make peace with her. Women needed to be pardoned while they were on their period.

“No, how can I let anyone else do this for me?” Luo Sang said in a muffled voice.

“It’s just some blood. Why are you shy?” Nian Junting didn’t understand. “Let me help you.”

“No need, I’m finishing,” Luo Sang continued.

Nian Junting watched her for a while, feeling very helpless. He had only had two relationships so far. During the first one, he was in the army, focused on his military life, and rarely cared about woman stuff. So, as his second relationship started, he still knew nothing about these things.

He spent a while watching Luo Sang, then went downstairs.

Seeing that he had left just like that, Luo Sang felt even more unhappy and more uncomfortable, as if she had a fire burning in her heart. She even got misty-eyed. She guessed that she was really sensitive and fragile during her period, as even this small thing made her want to cry.

Sister Lan, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, saw Nian Junting come in. “Young Master, just wait for a few more minutes,” she hurriedly said. “Breakfast is almost ready.”

“Um, no rush, take your time. I just want to ask you a few questions.” Nian Junting thought for a moment, then said, “What should men do when women are on their period?”

Sister Lan paused for a second. After she understood Nian Junting’s meaning, her chubby face blushed slightly. Young Master is getting more and more thick-skinned, she thought. She was older than he was, but this kind of question could still make her shy. Madam is all about making money, so I guess she didn’t manage to fulfill some of her responsibilities. I need to help Young Master.

She coughed slightly, then responded stutteringly, “Young Master, when a woman is on her period, her body will be in the most fragile state. During this time, sexual intercourse needs to be forbidden, because it might cause infection or extend the period. And that would cause more blood loss. The more blood she loses, the weaker her body will become. You need to understand. If you have to… well, do it, you should just… solve the problem yourself… like you used to.” After saying that, she glanced at Nian Junting’s hands.

She had made it clear enough.

Nian Junting was listening carefully at first, but soon, he sensed that something wasn’t right. At last, his face darkened completely. “What kind of a person do you think I am? Of course I understand that. I mean, how should I treat her?”

“Young Master, couldn’t you have made your question clear sooner?” Sister Lan complained.
