Qiao Xiaoni cooked another pot of noodles. It was hot, and she was sweating profusely with the slightest movement.

Tao Chunfang fanned herself twice with her fan. "Little girl, come with me to the river to bathe tonight! Call your older brother and have him keep watch for us. It's too uncomfortable if we don't bathe in this weather."

Qiao Xiaoni brushed a stray hair behind her ear. Thinking that she was going to talk to Su Chenhao about the space tonight, going to the river would not be convenient. Just as she was about to speak, Tao Chunfang said, "Look at my memory. You're going to have your period these next few days. Don't go to the river to bathe. Just rest at home."

My period is due in a week; being a woman is so hard.

What's going on?

It took Qiao Xiaoni a few seconds to realize what was going on; it turned out that what they meant by "coming" was menstruation!

Good heavens! What do women use at this time?

Thinking of the white toilet paper in the original owner's cabinet, she finally understood what it was for. It was coarse toilet paper kept in the bathroom for everyone's daily use.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have forgotten about it." After saying that, Qiao Xiaoni picked up a noodle with her chopsticks, then broke it in half to check. The noodle was already cooked. She picked up a large ladle and scooped all the noodles out, then added cold water to rinse them. That was it.

Tao Chunfang walked over and picked up the basin. "Go cool off in the yard. Look at your face, it's all sweaty."

Qiao Xiaoni didn't stand on ceremony with her, nodded, and turned to go to the yard. The sun had already set, and the temperature wasn't so high anymore.

A week has passed since she arrived here. Time flies. Looking at the moon in the sky, she is very satisfied with her current life.

She heard footsteps behind her, and when she turned around, she saw Su Chenhao standing behind her, his face also covered in sweat. She wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.

"Have you finished your noodles?"

"I've finished eating. The noodles I made today were delicious. I really enjoyed them."

"I'm glad you like it. I've noticed you like noodles."

"Hmm, I like noodles, but I don't really like rice."

"Then you'll have plenty to eat from now on. Our shop mainly sells noodles."

"I love anything you make."

Qiao Xiaoni looked at the man in front of her. How could he be so handsome?

Su Chenhao gently brushed aside Qiao Xiaoni's bangs, revealing the scars underneath. The scars weren't too dark, but judging from their appearance, the injury must have been quite severe.

When was this injury caused?

Qiao Xiaoni raised her hand and touched the scar on her forehead. She noticed this morning while combing her hair that the scar had faded a lot, which must be due to the effects of the spiritual spring water. It won't be long before the scar on her forehead disappears completely.

"When I was little, someone hit me on the forehead with something. My mom said I bled a lot and almost lost my life."

Su Chenhao's face darkened. "So much time has passed, and that person still hasn't been found?"

“I was too young at the time to remember what the other person looked like. I was the only one living at home.”

Su Chenhao stepped forward and hugged Qiao Xiaoni, saying, "I will protect you from now on and I will never let you get hurt again."

Qiao Xiaoni was suddenly embraced, her head resting on his chest, listening to his heartbeat, her hands clutching the buttons of his shirt.

"Su Chenhao, will you always be this good to me?"

Su Chenhao hugged her tightly. "Do I need to repeat that sentence again?"

Qiao Xiaoni laughed and patted his chest hard, then lowered her head and whispered.

"Hate."
