Recalling her panicked and helpless self back then, Lu Chuqing gave a bitter smile.

If she could, she would love to hug her younger self.

She didn't bring her bag when she came out, thinking she would just go to the restroom and then go back. She didn't expect to suddenly get her period, which was two years earlier than in her previous life.

She didn't have enough tissues, so after thinking for a moment, she took out her phone to send a message to Lu Ying.

"Mom, I've started my period. Do you have any supplies?"

After typing all the words, my finger paused as I was about to click send.

Before they came out, Lu Ying and Xi Jun had been learning to fish with their host in the pond behind the house. I don't know if they brought their cell phones.

In that moment of hesitation, a boy's voice suddenly rang out from outside, "Lu Chuqing, are you still inside?"

Lu Chuqing was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Yes."

Xi Qingxu, who was waiting outside, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Well, that's good."

What do you mean by "that's good"?

Lu Chuqing was speechless, but thinking that she had indeed been inside for a while, she didn't hesitate any longer. She sent the message she had just edited to Lu Ying, then folded the two tissues she had left and put them on her underwear before pulling up her pants and walking out.

When Xi Qingxu saw her come out, he put away his phone and waited for her to come closer so they could walk back together.

"Wait a minute, let's see if there's a small supermarket or convenience store on the island. I need to buy something."

Lu Chuqing stopped the boy who was about to turn back and led him in another direction.

"What do you want to buy?" Xi Qingxu asked, following her. There were few residents on the island, and very few places to buy things, and even if there were, they were hard to find.

The girl walking ahead stopped and turned around, staring at his face for a few seconds before saying frankly, "You know sanitary napkins, right? Feminine hygiene products."

Xi Qingxu took a few seconds to react. It was the first time someone had ever said that word to him. Although it was extremely unfamiliar, he quickly realized what it meant.

"Oh, so you've started your period, which is why you stayed inside for quite a while?"

"..." Why is this young man so blunt in his speech?

Also, what does "oh" mean? Girls really hate hearing "oh" from someone, okay?

Lu Chuqing's gaze gradually turned into a slight glare as she looked at him and said, "That's how it is, but couldn't you be a little more tactful, even though what you said isn't wrong."

Xi Qingxu sensed that she seemed unhappy, and after a pause, she said, "I don't really know how to say it so that you won't feel unhappy. Can you teach me?"

This left Lu Chuqing completely bewildered once again.

Seriously? What's with this pitiful, big dog vibe?

How could someone with a poker face say something like that?

The girl pursed her lips, a rare occurrence for her, then turned and walked forward. "You make me teach you everything. You're so good at studying, and so smart. Can't you learn things online yourself?"

Xi Qingxu caught up with her and walked beside her. Sensing that she seemed to have calmed down, he nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll study online when I have time. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just point it out and I'll correct it."

What do you mean by "there are things she's not satisfied with"? It feels like you're training a boyfriend.

Lu Chuqing dismissed the thought and casually replied, "Sure, I'll pay more attention when I don't have anything else to do."

They couldn't find anyone to sell anything in the end, because Lu Ying quickly learned of the situation, brought her things over to them, and then went straight back to the hotel.

In the room, after Lu Chuqing changed her pants and tidied herself up, Lu Ying pressed her down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Her mother also held her hand and asked her all sorts of questions with concern.

"Qingqing, does your stomach feel uncomfortable?"

"No."

"Does your stomach hurt? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It doesn't hurt or feel uncomfortable."

Seeing that the woman was still worried, she poured more hot water and told her to drink more. Lu Chuqing really couldn't lie down any longer.

"Mom, I'm fine. I don't feel uncomfortable or unwell, and my stomach doesn't hurt. You don't need to be so worried."

Lu Ying was pulled to sit down by her, her eyes full of loving care. "How could Mom not be nervous? My baby has grown up, Mom will definitely be very worried."

Lu Chuqing hugged her mother's waist, rested her head on her mother's neck, and her voice unconsciously became coquettish, "Mom, don't worry, I'm really not uncomfortable. Besides, your daughter has been through it before, it's just a normal physiological phenomenon, nothing to be alarmed about."

Lu Ying's heart softened at her daughter's spoiled attitude. How could she forget what her precious daughter had confessed to her back then?

It is precisely because she remembers that she pays even more attention to the girl's growth. The last time she wasn't by her daughter's side to accompany her as she grew up, thinking about the state of the Liu family, she couldn't even imagine how much suffering her precious child endured back then.

Without her mother's guidance and education, one can only imagine how scared and panicked she must have felt when faced with such a situation.

Afraid that saying too much would remind the girl of those hardships, Lu Ying smiled and said in a gentle and relaxed tone, "Oh dear, it wasn't that when I first came here, I was quite startled. I only found out because your aunt had told me a little about it before. Also, before I gave birth to you, I would have stomach pains every time, but after you were born, it miraculously stopped hurting so much."

"I'm just worried that you'll get a stomachache like your mom."

Lu Chuqing knew that her mother sometimes experienced menstrual cramps, but they weren't severe, and she didn't experience pain every time. After she got together with Xi Jun, he would make various warming soups and broths for her during her period, and they were quite effective.

"Don't worry, Mom. I just feel a little tired, but everything else is fine."

Seeing that she was really alright, Lu Ying finally felt relieved. "Even if you don't feel any pain, you still need to be careful. It's hot here, so you have to resist eating anything cold."

"I understand, Mom. I promise I'll keep it in mind."

Lu Ying was amused by her adorable appearance. Looking at the girl's smiling face, he couldn't help but sigh at how fast time had passed. The little bundle of flesh had grown into such a vibrant young man.

Fortunately, she was able to accompany her daughter as she grew up.
