The alarm clock is set for 11:30 p.m.

When Si Nian woke up, he felt a damp and sticky sensation between his legs.

At first, I thought it hadn't been cleaned properly, but then I suddenly remembered that Jin Wuduan had been wearing a condom during this period of time. I immediately got up to check...

Sure. The translation of the Chinese novel paragraph '果然是来例假了。' to English is: "Sure enough, it's that time of the month."

"What time is it?" Jǐwǔduān mumbled drowsily. Seeing Sīnián sit up beside him, he also struggled to get up. Just as he leaned over, he felt a push on his shoulder.

The force was a bit heavy, and Jin Wuduan could clearly feel Si Nian's resistance. He regained some clarity and asked, "What's wrong?"

Si Nian didn't know what to say, and couldn't bring herself to speak. She instinctively paled.

Jin Wuduan always said that such matters are inauspicious. He used to avoid him when he had his menstrual period, as if he were avoiding a plague.

Although the two of them have been living in harmony during this period of time, Jin Wuduan hasn't said anything excessive...

But perhaps it was the emotional change brought on by this special day, Siniang always felt that after Jin Wuduan saw the stains on the bed, he would definitely despise her.

Because of being infatuated with the warmth of these days, she dared not let Jin Wuduan see the embarrassment in front of her.

I'm afraid that he might grow weary of me.

Siniang's mind went blank like a screen flickering, feeling a bit at a loss as she pulled the blanket closer to block others from coming too close to her side.

"What's wrong? Why are you still avoiding me?"

Jin Wuduan pulled away from Xinian's hand and noticed his gaze repeatedly shifting towards his legs. Curiously, Jin Wuduan lifted the covers and took a look, momentarily stunned as he asked, "Are you on your period?"

Siniang's face turned a little pale as she nodded. Seeing Jin Wuduan looking at her without any strange expression, she could only muster up a bit of courage and let out a timid "ah".

Don't come over here. I'll go tidy up first. I'll wash the bed sheets when I come back.

By the way, give him a little shove to keep him at a distance, so he doesn't accidentally get on you.

Unexpectedly, Jin Wuduan didn't pay any attention to this. With just one arm, he lifted Sui Nian into his embrace and got up from the bed, saying as he headed to the bathroom, "Does your stomach hurt? Where's that thing?"

Sining didn't catch on to his meaning until he sat on the toilet. Only then did he point at the drawer beneath the sink.

Jin Wuduan was a little curious about what was in his opponent's hands. After carefully examining it for a while, he noticed Si Nian sitting on the toilet staring at himself intently. He coughed and said, "I'll get you some clothes!"

She thought to herself, "Don't treat him like a pervert."

He was indeed overthinking it. At this moment, Siniang was completely unconcerned about anything. She hadn't even thought about all these things. Seeing Jinduan entering with the clothes, her face turned red, as if caught off guard.

Don't look, go out.

Jin Wuduan was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he didn't tease him and went out to change the sheets without closing the door.

Sinan watched Jin Wuduan, who was also naked as he came and went, and had no choice but to reluctantly tidy up himself.

When Jin Wuduan came out, he had already changed the sheets and quilt cover, and thoughtfully laid out a small cushion for Sinian. Seeing him standing foolishly by the bed, he hugged him horizontally and said, "Wait here, I'll get you a hot water bottle!"

Sining felt a little dazed, extremely dazed. When she finally came to her senses, her stomach felt hot again.

Jin Wuduan sat by the edge of the bed and leaned over to give him a peck on the forehead, asking, "Does your stomach hurt?"

Si Nian shook his head and looked at him cautiously, listening to him continue, "It's a pity that the heated water bottle hasn't been invented yet, otherwise we could just plug it in."

Siniang felt a bit strange as she touched the hot water bottle wrapped in a towel on her stomach. She wondered, "What is this electric-powered warming treasure?"

"These few days, I won't set up my stall. Take care of yourself and rest well," Jin Wuduan said before going to the living room to give Su Dongyang a call and inform him that he won't be setting up the stall. They arranged a time to meet tomorrow to reclaim the shop.

He spoke with a clear and cheerful voice, sending ripples through the small space, resonating in his heart.

Si Nian involuntarily shrunk her body, reminiscing about the old days, and couldn't help but let out a smile.

He is not just weak, he is very weak.

Having your period is not terrifying; what's terrifying is having to avoid Jin Wuduan's cold taunting and hot sarcasm... while also being strong enough to run a stall and earn money.

He was originally very scared of contact with strangers in his daily life, especially tall and big men, which made him feel scared just by looking at them.

During menstruation, this situation becomes even more severe.

Si Nian is even scared of little girls, scared to the extreme.

It was probably his physical condition that caused him to be psychologically timid. He always had to pretend to be fine, even when he was on his period, he dared not let Jin Wuduan know. He hid it, suffered in agony, and it was extremely painful.

The current feeling is truly astonishing and deeply moving.

Just like finding someone to rely on...

Rely on?

The back was embraced into a broad and warm embrace, followed by a gentle warmth spreading through the lower abdomen.

Jin Wuduan gently rubbed Siniang's small belly and asked, "Does it hurt? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Si Nian shook her head and was about to feel overwhelmed by the tenderness, when she heard Jin Wuduan let out a sigh and said with a hint of plaintiveness, "Luckily I was quick-witted today and had three rounds with you, otherwise I would have been suffocating these past few days."

Sinian: "......"

Is one second indeed not enough to be serious?

Before dawn, Jin Wuduan got up.

He first changed the water in Sinen's hot water bottle, then ran downstairs to buy a bowl of porridge and a basket of steamed dumplings, waking up the deeply asleep person to have breakfast before leaving.

The reporters from the newspaper were very punctual, waiting at the street corner early in the morning.

Jin Wuduan immediately smiled and approached when he saw that the other person was a beauty. After exchanging a few words, he even managed to get her phone number. In the meanwhile, he engaged in enthusiastic conversation with the person recording the video, quickly winning both of them over to his side.

While promising him not to be stingy with "words", she simultaneously pledged that this news article would be aired on television tonight.

Jin Wuduan was deeply moved and handed over two red envelopes.

The phrase '美名曰交个朋友' can be translated to English as "known as making friends."

The intricacies of human relationships have always been known to be leak-free, much like how Jin Wuduan wished for it to be in this case. That man promptly shut down his business the next day and began packing up his belongings.

Double the exceeded rental period, dare to disagree or dare to harbor dissatisfaction and cause trouble, Jin Wuduan has the ability to make him taste the prison food.

The man also knew that he was notorious. Originally, he was even thinking about breaking a window and splashing some paint in the middle of the night, but he didn't expect that before he finished moving his stuff, Jin Wuduan would go all out and install surveillance cameras at the entrance.

In this era, the power of surveillance and other information technologies had not been widely popularized or valued. As a result, they were seen less frequently, which inevitably had a deterrent effect.

The matter was resolved perfectly within a few days.

Su Dongyang not only regained the shop, but also obtained two months' worth of double rent.

Originally, he thought it would be good enough to be able to get the shop back, but he didn't expect that in the end he would also be able to deal with the debtor, so he was extremely happy and wanted to compensate Jin Wuduan with two months' rent, as a way of repaying him.

From this point of view, it seems that the old man not only understands gratitude but is also quite easily "bullied".
