Qiao Xiaoni felt her stomach pain lessen after hearing these words. With Su Chenhao around, no difficulty was insurmountable.

Su Chenhao felt the warmth of her hands and began to take off his clothes, until he was only wearing shorts. Then he lifted the blanket and crawled inside.

"My body is hot, it will make me feel better if you hold me."

Qiao Xiaoni blushed. It was the first time they had lain together. Of course, with him by her side, she felt less cold, and the pain in her stomach lessened.

"Are you feeling better?" Su Chenhao asked.

"Hmm, my stomach doesn't hurt as much anymore. It feels much better with you here." Qiao Xiaoni leaned her head against his chest, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

Su Chenhao stroked her head and said, "I've already settled the rental agreement with them. Don't worry, just rest at home for the next few days."

"Don't even mention it, I have an exam tomorrow. My period came at such an inopportune time. I can only rest at home after the exam."

"Oh! Why am I so unlucky?" Qiao Xiaoni pouted.

Su Chenhao rubbed her stomach with his hand: "Why don't you just take a day off? You're too embarrassed to ask me to ask you, it's just an exam, right?"

"This is no big deal for them, and I don't want to be the center of attention at school again."

"They've been talking about me for days about the time I saved someone... People are staring at me wherever I go." Qiao Xiaoni said, getting a little embarrassed herself.

In that emergency, she picked the person up. This terrifying scene remained etched in their memories.

Strongman!

Little silly girl!

There were all sorts of nicknames, but I just didn't dare say them to her face.

"With your stomach hurting like this, how are you going to answer the questions?"

"If you really can't handle it, just hand in your paper early. The exam is 40 minutes long, and you're given a 10-minute break."

I calculated that if I finish answering in ten minutes, I can go home and lie down for a while. That way, my stomach shouldn't feel too uncomfortable.

Of course, if my stomach didn't hurt, I wouldn't go home. Going back and forth is too much trouble, and it would interfere with my exams.

"Then you have to promise me you'll bring a hot water bottle. Do your best in the exam; it's just the first one. If you really can't do it, just give up; it's not a big deal."

"Mmm!" Qiao Xiaoni wrapped her arms around his waist, feeling so comfortable.

Su Chenhao was speechless. He truly understood today how difficult it is to resist a beautiful woman. He couldn't do anything but lie there obediently; this was a real test of his willpower.

Qiao Xiaoni gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep, quickly drifting off to sleep.

Seeing that she was asleep, Su Chenhao moved slightly and let out a long sigh of relief.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Qiao Xiaoni was woken up by the pain again, and then she remembered that her period had started. She opened her eyes and looked around; it was still dark outside.

A hot water bottle was placed on her stomach, and steaming brown sugar ginger water was on the windowsill.

Su Chenhao wasn't around; he must be in the kitchen. She struggled to sit up and drank the brown sugar water first. Then she went back to her space to change her sanitary napkins, which she had made herself using the ingredients.

The outer sanitary napkins weren't thick enough, so she made some extra thicker ones. They came in handy at that moment because her flow was so heavy.

Su Chenhao was cooking millet and brown sugar porridge in the kitchen. When he felt it was almost done, he turned off the heat, and suddenly a pair of small hands appeared on his waist. He didn't need to guess who it was.

"Why are you out in the fields? It's not even dawn yet."

"You woke up with a stomachache and got up. What are you doing?"

"Brown sugar millet porridge, just in time for you to have a bowl now that you're up. I'll make you some chicken soup later, but we don't have any chicken at home, so I'll have to go to the market to buy some."
