They were just gossiping about Pei Tiantian so loudly that Gu Rong must have heard it all.

The man quickly shut his mouth and pretended to be a quail, just concentrating on eating.

Several other students soon noticed Gu Rong sitting not far away. They looked at each other, lowered their heads, finished the food on their plates, and left quickly.

…

Before going home, Pei Tiantian went to a nearby supermarket and bought a large bag of sanitary products.

I bought all of them, including those for day use and those for night use with extra long lengths.

Then I took it back home and put it in my bedroom.

Now Zhou Wanhong is the only one in the house next door.

Wang Ruizhen and Pei Zhiqiang were working in the supermarket, while Pei Zhiwen and Wan Cuilan were also at work.

Because it was Zhou Wanhong's turn to rest today, she did not go to work in the imperial kitchen like Wan Cuilan.

Zhou Wanhong was knitting and watching TV when she heard the door open. She looked up and found that the person coming was Pei Tiantian.

"Tiantian, aren't you going to evening study today?"

Pei Tiantian shook her head: "I feel a little uncomfortable today, so my godmother let me go home and rest."

"You feel unwell," Zhou Wanhong quickly put down her needlework, walked over and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Do you have a cold or a fever? Let your aunt take a look."

As she spoke, Zhou Wanhong reached out her hand and wanted to touch Pei Tiantian's forehead. After touching her forehead, she found that Pei Tiantian's forehead did not have any abnormal temperature.

"You don't have a fever, so do you have a cold? Your temperature has dropped a bit in the past two days, Tiantian, are you not wearing enough clothes again?"

Zhou Wanhong murmured.

Pei Tiantian explained: "No, none of these, I just... have my period."

Zhou Wanhong was stunned at first but then understood instantly.

Tiantian is 12 years old now, and it is indeed time for her to have her first period.

Zhou Wanhong met Pei Tiantian's eyes. There was innocence and purity in her grape-shaped eyes, just like when she was a child, and it had not changed over the years.

No wonder everyone has always treated Pei Tiantian like a child, but ignored the physiological changes taking place in her.

Zhou Wanhong's eyes changed for a moment, and she sighed, "Tiantian, don't worry. It's true that this period of time is a bit uncomfortable, but it won't last long. It will be over in a few days. Just bear with it."

The little girl nodded gloomily.

"Actually, this is a good thing. It shows that our Tiantian is now a big girl and has grown up."

When Pei Tiantian heard Zhou Wanhong's comforting voice, she could only smile bitterly.

She doesn't want to grow up at all, she doesn't want to have her period at all, woooo.

Might as well just be a child forever.

"Tiantian, you're not feeling well right now, don't just stand there like an idiot. Sit down and take a rest. I'll make you some brown sugar ginger water."

Pei Tiantian wanted to say there was no need to rush, but before she could open her mouth, she suddenly felt a cramping pain in her lower abdomen again.

It looks like it's starting to hurt again.

Pei Tiantian didn't say anything and just leaned on the sofa silently.

When Zhou Wanhong saw the little girl's silent and depressed look, her face was very pale, and it was obvious that she was experiencing dysmenorrhea.

Zhou Wanhong finally helped the little girl back to the bedroom next door, let her lie on the bed obediently, covered her with a quilt, and went to the kitchen to fill a hot water bottle and applied it on Pei Tiantian's lower abdomen.

Then Zhou Wanhong brought the boiled brown sugar ginger water over and fed Pei Tiantian mouthful by mouthful.

Watching the little girl drinking the brown sugar ginger water in the bowl sip by sip, the brown sugar ginger water in the bowl gradually ran out.

"Thank you, Auntie."

After Pei Tiantian finished drinking the brown sugar ginger water, she obediently lay back in bed, looked at Zhou Wanhong with her grape eyes open, and said softly.

Zhou Wanhong was stunned for a moment: "What is there to thank? I am your aunt, isn't it normal for me to do this for you?"

Pei Tiantian just smiled and said nothing.

When Zhou Wanhong saw Pei Tiantian’s smile, she felt a little sad.

Many years ago, when she was still a girl, when she had her first menarche, she saw so much blood on her pants for the first time that she suspected she was going to die from excessive blood loss.

It was her mother who gently told her that these were normal physiological phenomena, proving that her body was maturing.

Tell her not to be afraid, she won't die.

Also teach her how to use these sanitary products and what to pay attention to during each menstrual period in the future?

Every girl's mother becomes the first mentor in her life when a girl's body undergoes tremendous changes, accompanying them through such a stage.

However, Pei Tiantian has no mother, and no one will play such a role in her life.

Whenever Zhou Wanhong thought of this, she felt infinite pity for Pei Tiantian.

I secretly thought that I should be nicer to Pei Tiantian, even nicer.

Although everyone in the Pei family dotes on Pei Tiantian, the love of others can never replace maternal love.

After all, Pei Tiantian's life is missing something.

Pei Tiantian fell asleep quickly in bed and slept for more than two hours. When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was almost nine o'clock.

Pei Tiantian got up from the bed and touched her lower abdomen. The pain had subsided and she even felt a little hungry.

Pei Tiantian was just about to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat so that she could make herself a bowl of noodles or something.

Then Zhou Wanhong, Wang Ruizhen who had just returned from the supermarket, and Wan Cuilan who had just returned from work, came hurriedly to visit Pei Tiantian.

When Wang Ruizhen saw Pei Tiantian's face due to excessive blood loss, she immediately felt distressed. She walked over and hugged Pei Tiantian: "My darling baby has suffered."

Pei Tiantian was in Wang Ruizhen's arms, looking up at her: "Grandma, my aunt said this means I'm a big girl now, which is a good thing."

"In my heart, you will always be my favorite granddaughter, no matter how old you are."

As she said that, Wang Ruizhen hugged Pei Tiantian and carried her back to the bed in the bedroom.

She carefully covered her with a blanket from head to toe, and lovingly touched Pei Tiantian's pale little face: "Don't eat at school these few days. Grandma will make you some delicious food and send it to school to replenish your body."

Although Pei Tiantian felt like drooling when she heard this, she also felt that it was a bit of an exaggeration.

Wang Ruizhen is very busy in the supermarket every day and gets up at five in the morning.

It's too difficult for her to take care of the business in the supermarket and make delicious food for herself and send it to school.

So Pei Tiantian shook her little head: "Grandma, don't be so troublesome, the food in the cafeteria is also good."

Wang Ruizhen gave her a reproachful look and said, "How can this be called trouble? Grandma likes to cook for you. As long as our little sweetie is happy, Grandma will be happy."

Pei Tiantian sniffed, feeling quite touched.

Woohoo, grandma is the best.

Wan Cuilan said: "I have to buy some more hygiene products for Tiantian, so that I can have them ready for the future."

Pei Tiantian: "I've already bought some."

She pointed to the bag on the bedside table.

Wan Cuilan opened the bag and saw that it was filled with various sanitary napkins in pink, blue and white packaging, including night use, daily use, panty liners, etc. It was quite a complete collection.

Wan Cuilan said: "It seems that Tiantian is not completely ignorant of this knowledge."

Wang Ruizhen snorted: "My Tiantian is so smart, of course she knows everything."

Pei Tiantian felt a little ashamed when she heard Wang Ruizhen praising her every opportunity.

She just bought a sanitary napkin, but in Wang Ruizhen's eyes it became something worthy of praise.

Pei Tiantian lay on the bed again under the supervision of Wang Ruizhen and others, and told them that she was hungry.

Wang Ruizhen personally went into the kitchen and made a bowl of tomato and egg noodles for Pei Tiantian.

The hot tomato and egg noodles almost made Heitian drool.

The portion Wang Ruizhen made was just right. After Pei Tiantian ate a bowl of noodles and drank a few sips of soup, she felt just enough to be full.

Wang Ruizhen looked at Pei Tiantian with a smile, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth: "You've eaten so much that you've become a little cat."

Pei Tiantian said: "Who said that noodles made with milk are so delicious!"

Other members of the Pei family came to visit Pei Tiantian one after another.

Probably knowing what was going on with Pei Tiantian, the men from the Pei family told her to have a good rest and left.

This made Pei Tiantian feel a little embarrassed.

I just had my period and it alarmed so many people.

However, Pei Tiantian quickly thought about it and realized that this was also a sign of everyone's concern for her, so Pei Tiantian's discomfort disappeared.

The first ones to come back from evening self-study were Pei Tianyu and Pei Zihao. Their school ended at 9:20.

These two people had a horrible lack of common sense about physiology. When they heard that Pei Tiantian was lying in bed because she was feeling unwell, and then learned that all the members of the Pei family had gone to visit her through Pei Tiantian's bedroom.

Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan were also talking to Wang Ruizhen, and they looked very serious.

The two men were frightened out of their wits.

They knew how hard Pei Tiantian had been studying these days.

I have to attend classes at school and train for competitions at the same time, and I am often exhausted from running between the two.

Their first reaction was.

It’s over, it’s over. Everyone seems to be taking this matter so seriously. I’m afraid that Tiantian in their family has gotten sick from learning this.

The two of them hadn't even put down their backpacks yet, but they both ran over quickly and stood at the head of Pei Tiantian's bed, one on each side.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? We are so worried about you."

"Don't be afraid, Tiantian. No matter what happens, the brothers are here!"

A few frowns crossed Pei Tiantian's forehead. What were her eldest and second cousins ​​doing?

If you don’t know, you would think you have a terminal illness.

Not to mention that Pei Tiantian felt speechless, even Wan Cuilan and Zhou Wanhong simply couldn't bear to watch. Two of them came over and took Pei Tianyu and Pei Zihao away.

After finally explaining to these two brats why Pei Tiantian was feeling unwell, Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu both blushed.

So that's what happened. Then what were they doing just now?

No wonder my sister looked at them so strangely.

"Tianyu, Zihao, you are almost adults, you should know the basic physiological knowledge, these are all normal phenomena, don't be surprised, and don't act too abnormal in front of Tiantian, otherwise Tiantian will feel uncomfortable, understand?"

Seeing Pei Tianyu and Pei Zihao's faces blushing so much that blood was about to drip out, Wang Ruizhen couldn't help but speak.

Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu nodded quickly. They also felt that their reaction was a bit too much and lowered their heads in shame.

Wan Cuilan suddenly thought that Tiantian is no longer a child now and has had her first period.

Wouldn't it be inappropriate for Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian to live alone in the same house anymore?

Besides, the two of them would see each other every day, and it would be bad if something embarrassing happened.

In the past, they thought that since Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian still had children and had a good relationship, there was nothing wrong with them living together.

Now that both children are grown up, isn’t it time to be more reserved?

Wan Cuilan told Wang Ruizhen what she was thinking and said, "I think we should let Zihao and Tianyu move in with Gu Rong, and Tiantian move in with us."

Wang Ruizhen actually didn’t think there was anything wrong with letting Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong live in the same house.

If Pei Zihao, Pei Tianyu and Pei Tiantian lived in the same house, Wan Cuilan would definitely not think there was anything wrong.

The reason why she felt that Gu Rong was not suitable to live with Pei Tiantian alone was that Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian were not related by blood.

Although the two are siblings on the surface, they have no actual blood relationship, so there is always a gap.

In addition, now that both of them have grown up and become more mature, it is time to have clear boundaries between men and women.

Zhou Wanhong said: "I think we should ask the two children for their opinions on this matter. After all, they have been sleeping in the same bed since they were very young. Now we don't let them live in the same house. Isn't this a bit too much?"

Wang Ruizhen agreed with Zhou Wanhong's words: "Cui Lan, Gu Rong has been in our Pei family for so many years. In my heart, he is no different from my own grandson. The lack of blood relationship cannot be a reason to distance him from Tiantian."

Wan Cuilan: "Mom, that's not what I meant..."

Wang Ruizhen: "We have seen how good Gu Rong is to Tiantian over the years. You think the two children are grown up and should avoid suspicion. In fact, I think your idea is too outdated. What era is it now? Besides, the two of them don't live in the same bedroom, so what's the big deal? If Tiantian and Gu Rong are forced to distance themselves from each other, it will not only hurt Gu Rong's heart, but also the hard-earned relationship between the two children."

Wan Cuilan said in a low voice, "I see. I was just thinking about something else."

…

Gu Rong was the last person to return to Pei's house. The evening study session at No. 1 Middle School didn't end until ten o'clock.

It was already half past ten when I came back.

Seeing that the light in Pei Tiantian's bedroom was still on, Gu Rong knocked on the door, but heard no response from inside.

Apparently, Pei Tiantian fell asleep without turning off the lights, just like before.

So Gu Rong pushed open the door and was about to turn off the light in Pei Tiantian's bedroom.
