Lei Ting carefully examined An Ning's pulse and immediately became serious. An Ning thought she had some serious illness and became anxious along with him.

An Ning: "Lei Ting, what's wrong with me..."

Lei Ting: "An Ning...do you have a lot of stomach pain when you have your period?"

Anning: "You could even tell that? That's amazing! My periods have been really painful for the past six months. Wow, that's incredible..."

Lei Ting: "I'm sorry, it was windy the day after you hit the child when we went out to get a divorce. You probably caught a cold..."

An Ning: "Oh, is that how it is?"

Thunder: "It's all my fault. If I had stopped you, you would have been fine after taking good care of yourself, Anning..."

Anning: "Ugh... Is there any good way to treat this...?"

Lei Ting: "I need to ask Grandma. Wait for me, I'll ask right away."

An Ning: "Hmm..."

Lei Ting called his grandparents. His grandmother was still asleep. Based on Lei Ting's pulse, she gave him a prescription. Grandma Lei said that it would only be effective if he drank it from the first day of his period to the last day of the second period, and it would take more than a month. The prescription contained Bupleurum and Coptis, both very bitter herbs. Lei Ting felt sorry for An Ning again. After hanging up the phone, he hugged An Ning tightly and wouldn't let go.

Anning: "What happened? What did Grandma say...?"

Lei Ting: "Grandma said that if you drink it for more than a month, from the first day of your period until the end of the second period, you will feel better, and the second period will be basically painless."

An Ning: "Then why do you have that expression? It scared me so much I thought it was an incurable disease!"

Lei Ting: "Grandma said that if there's internal heat, it needs to be reduced and the body nourished gently, but not too hastily, so the prescription includes Coptis chinensis and Bupleurum chinense, and those two herbs alone are very bitter..."

Anning: "Won't this affect my future attempts to conceive?"

Lei Ting: "It has no effect. You have a strong constitution. It's the invasion of evil energy that caused your stomachache. Anning, let's take your medicine properly. Your stomachache will go away after you take the medicine."

An Ning: "I...I hate bitter things the most...Besides traditional Chinese medicine...are there any other good ways?"

Lei Ting: "An Ning... I don't want you to suffer either... If I could, I would take all your pain upon myself. An Ning, let's just take the medicine for a month, and the second month it won't be bitter."

Anning: "But where can we buy these Chinese medicines?"

Lei Ting: "Our family has a Chinese medicine shop in New York. Have Liao Qian buy it for me right away."

Lei Ting led An Ning into the courtyard, deliberately placing her far away from the stove. Liao Qian came over. Liao Qian didn't understand why he had that expression again! A look of guilt on his face—it couldn't be a burn the size of a pinhead!

Liao Qian: "An Ning, is your hand alright?"

An Ning: "I'm fine, Lei Ting was just too nervous..."

Lei Ting: "Go and buy me some traditional Chinese medicine, as soon as possible."

Liao Qian: "Is that wound really worth taking Chinese medicine for?! Don't you know that all medicine has some toxicity?! Are you out of your mind?!"

Lei Ting: "You're the one who's brain-dead. It's not for treating burns. Just buy it for me, stop with all the nonsense."

Liao Qian: "Consider it a debt I owe you... Okay, here's the prescription..."

Lei Ting: "Bupleurum, Coptis, Peach Kernel, Astragalus, Snow Lotus, Saffron, got it?"

Liao Qian: "I've remembered... safflower, peach kernel, a prescription for regulating menstruation!"

Lei Ting: "You're smart to know what's good for you. Hurry up, where's the stove for boiling medicine? Find it."

Liao Qian: "The Chinese medicine will be delivered tonight. The stove is in the cabinet next to the wine, you can find it easily. I'll ask Hans to leave you some charcoal. Hans, leave a box of charcoal here when you leave."

Hans: "OK..."

Thunder: "One box isn't enough, at least ten boxes..."

Liao Qian: "You've been drinking for over a month! You should never forgive me."

Lei Ting: "Come and take a look at An Ning. I haven't taken anyone's pulse in a long time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to examine her carefully enough."

Liao Qian: "Okay, Anning, let me take your pulse."

An Ning: "Hmm..."

An Ning extended her hand, and Liao Qian nodded. It was nothing serious; women are inherently yin, and a little medicine would do the trick.

Liao Qian: "Hmm...hmm...it's nothing. It's just that cold air entered your body, and the yin energy of women is not in balance, so you have abdominal pain when you have your period. Drinking a few doses of Chinese medicine will make it better. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

An Ning: "Mmm...okay..."

Liao Qian: "Lei Ting, you haven't forgotten what Grandma taught you about nourishing yin and yang, have you? Do it more often, it will be good for her."

Lei Ting: "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten. Hurry up! Have you two finished eating? If you're done, then leave. I need to give An Ning moxibustion."

Liao Qian: "You might as well change your name to 'discarding the millstone after it has served its purpose.' I won't argue with you. The moxibustion wool and the medicine pot are together; you can find them yourself."

Thunder: "Got it. Has Hans settled his bill?"

Liao Qian: "What kind of question is that? You want to settle the bill, right? Fine, ten million, just give it to me."

Allen: "Oh, Liao Qian, why are you asking him for money? I can give you money if you don't have any. Don't ask him for money."

Allen quickly pulled Liao Qian aside. Lei Ting was stunned by what he saw and pointed to the door, telling them to leave.

Thunder: "My God, you two... I'm almost blind! Please, just leave!"

An Ning: "Lei Ting, speak properly. This is very impolite."

Thunder: "Please leave, please..."

Liao Qian glared at Lei Ting, that good-for-nothing brother who used her and then discarded her.

Liao Qian: "I'll let it go for An Ning's sake. An Ning, don't forget the school's anniversary celebration tonight. The car is waiting for you outside."

An Ning: "Thank you, Liao Qian, hehe, take care..."

Allen: "Liao Qian, let's go. You should spend less time with him. My God, why did you ask him for money?"
