Menstrual period!
Upon hearing her senior's answer, Lin Xun immediately understood.
Aunt Flo! The number one enemy of teenage girls!
What a coincidence! Is your period at the beginning of the month?
Lin Xun's tense appearance made Su Qingshi both amused and exasperated. She was just experiencing menstrual cramps, not giving birth. Why did he have to look so serious? He was even sweating more than she was.
However, she could also sense the other person's worry, and a touch of emotion welled up in her heart.
"Then what should we do?"
Lin Xun quickly took out his phone and searched on Baidu what to do when a girl has her period.
Drink brown sugar water, apply a hot towel to your abdomen, place a pillow under your lower back, drink yogurt or milk, and take painkillers as needed...
Soon, we arrived at the hotel where my senior was staying.
After getting off the bus, Su Qingshi was completely pale.
Her period was indeed at the beginning of the month, but it usually started after the 5th. This sudden attack was unexpected. Not long ago, she noticed something was wrong; the bloating and pain in her stomach were getting worse and worse, and it turned out that it really was her period.
She had already realized that something had been missed.
However, she didn't tell Lin Xun, as it was still somewhat difficult for her to say.
Lin Xun helped his senior into the hotel. He asked her for the room number and they entered the elevator. Su Qingshi squatted down in the corner.
Comrade Lin Xun was in a hurry, taking out his phone one moment and stuffing it back into his pocket the next. He squatted down next to his senior and said slowly, "Senior, shall I buy you that?"
What is that? It's a sanitary napkin, of course.
Su Qingshi agreed, "Thank you, please buy the 420 one for me."
"420... Okay, senior!"
Lin Xun didn't know what she meant by 420, but he still readily agreed.
The elevator doors opened, Su Qingshi swiped her card to enter the room, and immediately went into the bathroom.
Seeing this, Lin Xun hesitated for a moment, then turned and left the room.
There was a convenience store downstairs in the hotel, which looked rather deserted. The owner was an older woman, and as soon as Lin Xun entered, she asked him warmly, "Handsome, what do you need?"
This was Lin Xun's first time buying something for women, and he didn't know anything about it. Luckily, the shop owner was a woman.
"Boss, do you have that one for women, the one you use when you're on your period..."
"Sanitary napkins, right?"
The aunt glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Is this your first time dating, young man?"
Lin Xun exclaimed in surprise, puzzled.
The aunt smiled and said, "I've seen plenty of young men like you buying sanitary napkins for their girlfriends, but you're the first one who's so hesitant and timid."
Lin Xun felt somewhat embarrassed.
He was indeed embarrassed, after all, he had seen many instances of men attracting strange looks when browsing the women's sanitary napkin section in supermarkets.
The shop owner led Lin Xun to the women's products section, asking, "What brand does your girlfriend use? What size? Do she need both day and night use?"
Lin Xun was stunned by the question. Were there really so many intricacies involved?
"Auntie, I want the 420 one." He remembered what his senior had told him, but he didn't know if it was the price or the specifications.
"420, huh? Here, this one is for nighttime use, it's more common." The shopkeeper took a pack of white sanitary napkins from the shelf and handed it to Lin Xun.
Lin Xun saw the number 420 on the packaging and suddenly realized, "Oh, that's what my senior meant by 420!"
He asked, "Nighttime use, is it for use at night?"
"yes."
"There's also one for daytime use?"
"Yes."
This is quite an eye-opener. Before this, Lin Xun had no concept of daytime or nighttime sanitary napkins. He only knew that sanitary napkins were used by girls when they had their periods.
At the same time, Su Qingshi came out of the bathroom. Looking at the empty room, the boy's figure had disappeared. A strange emotion welled up in her heart, like loss? Loneliness?
She felt somewhat lost, not understanding why she was experiencing so many emotions that left her unsure how to cope. She seemed to be becoming increasingly vulnerable, especially when Lin Xun was around; she seemed to have developed a dependence on him.
Su Qingshi, is this still you?
Because of the unusual feeling in her body, she didn't want to move at all. She lay down on the bed, closed her eyes slightly, and silently endured the cramping pain in her lower abdomen.
A few minutes later, Lin Xun walked out of the supermarket carrying three bags of things.
He didn't know which brand his senior liked to use, but he bought all the 420 size ones anyway.
The shop owner said one pack wasn't enough, as women change sanitary napkins very frequently, basically every time they go to the toilet, so he bought more, as well as daily-use ones.
In addition, the proprietress asked him about his girlfriend's current situation and enthusiastically recommended many things to him.
Lin Xun secretly admired the proprietress's experience, so he bought everything she recommended.
Money doesn't matter, everything else has to be prepared.
Soon, Lin Xun returned to the hotel where his senior was staying.
Su Qingshi was lying on the bed, her face pale and her eyes slightly closed, as if she were asleep.
Just then, a knock came at the door, startling her from her rest. She opened her eyes, a hint of anticipation flashing across them, and forced herself to get out of bed despite feeling unwell, and went to open the door.
"Senior, I've bought your things."
Lin Xun stood at the door. Looking at the pale-faced Su Qingshi in front of him, he felt extremely distressed. He quickly stepped into the room, closed the door, put his things on the ground, and helped his senior to the bed.
"How are you feeling now?" Lin Xun asked softly.
Su Qingshi did not answer. Ever since she opened the door, she had been staring blankly at Lin Xun, seemingly oblivious to her pain.
Seeing this, Lin Xun took out a white package and placed it in her hand, saying softly, "Senior, please change it yourself."
Su Qingshi's expression shifted. She took the sanitary napkin, and for some reason, she suddenly calmed down, even though she had been agitated by the severe abdominal pain. The pain had even lessened considerably.
Wow... amazing.
"And this too, the supermarket owner said that when girls suddenly get their period, it can stain their clothes, so I bought you a set. Oh, and this too, it seems they don't have kitchen utensils for boiling brown sugar here, but they do have instant sugar, so I bought that too. And there are also heat packs, which can relieve pain..."
Lin Xun rummaged through the bag, taking out the items he had bought one by one.
Su Qingshi watched his actions with a touch of emotion, and her gaze softened.
"You know so much?"
Lin Xun scratched his head: "I also saw it online, and the supermarket owner also suggested it."
He quickly added, "Senior, you should go change quickly, otherwise you might get infected."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingshi's pretty face flushed slightly. After all, it involved her private matters, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Nodding slightly, Su Qingshi took the bag of "420" and the "new clothes" handed to her by Lin Xun and went into the bathroom.
Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and then he began to make brown sugar water for his senior.
(Um... is there a gift? I want to update more frequently...)
