“What? Are you playing me?” Xia Chunyu was indignant.

“Shhh! Let me finish talking.” Ye Jiayao covered his mouth. She saw his red nose and immediately thought of how he rushed out to Mr. Liu on the other side of the village. He must’ve taken the long route, allowing everybody to see his nose. She suddenly felt ashamed. Everyone must’ve known that she was the one who bit him because no one else would dare to do that. Even the furious black dog that second brother was raising was afraid of Chunyu!

“I… I have a period.” Ye Jiayao spoke so softly she wasn’t even sure if she heard herself.

“Huh? What?” Xia Chunyu frowned, not really understanding, or hearing, what she said.

“It’s that, you know, that thing that women have every month.”

Menstruation! This was why she didn’t want to explain this to a guy! If they were in the modern days, she could easily ask for a casual leave from the class teacher without this psychological burden.

Xia Chunyu stared at her blankly. He seemed to grasp her meaning after a few minutes because his cheek turned bright red and he left quickly.

Ye Jiayao heard him talk to Mr. Liu, but she didn’t know exactly what he was saying. She only caught it when Mr. Liu started laughing. “Third-in-charge, you just got married, it is understandable. Since third madam is fine, I’ll just go now.”

Ye Jiayao could just picture how embarrassed he was as he explained the situation to Mr. Liu. He dragged Mr. Liu out in a panic, only to find out that his wife simply had a period. It was such an awkward, embarrassing situation.

He came back, not long after she heard Mr. Liu leaving, his expression adorably shy. He looked at her angrily, like a child who was embarrassed by his mother. “How do you not know your own problem? You get it every month!”

Of course, Ye Jiyao didn’t know! She never had such painful experience, and neither did the original host. She didn’t know why it hurt like that. She was worried and frustrated, thinking that she would have to suffer like this every month.

“I wanted to talk, but at that time, it was too painful to speak. You also rushed out hurriedly!” Ye Jiayao defended herself.

Xia Chunyu groaned, sitting near the bed and staring at her suspiciously.

“Why are you looking at me like that? You think I am pretending?”

Xia Chunyu knew that it was highly unlikely that she was just pretending. It was doubtful that she could act that well. Now, he wondered if her crazy, unexpected behavior earlier was an act. The word ‘bitch’ was an apt description. The way she acted just a few minutes ago was just like a typical bandit’s wife.

“Sister-in-law, Auntie Jiang is here!” Song Qi called from outside the door.

Ye Jiayo blushed. “I told Song Qi to call Auntie Jiang because I don’t have the necessary… stuff.”

Xia Chunyu had no idea what stuff she was talking about. It must be one of those things that only women could understand.

Xia Chunyu left them alone to talk, retreating to his study. Auntie Jiang came into the room, and Ye Jiayao dragged her to talk. Auntie Jiang confessed, “I haven’t gotten that since last year. I already threw everything away!”

“You must help me find a way, please!” Ye Jiayao cried.

“Okay, okay, calm down. I will go back and make one for you, just wait here for a bit.”
