Busy days passed one by one, and the cold winter months arrived. This year, the snow came a little earlier. It started to snow lightly when we set off in the morning, and by evening the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and a thick layer of snow slowly accumulated on the ground. It was white and fluffy like cotton, but the temperature was completely opposite to that of cotton.
During this period, Jiang Shuya came earlier and returned later than before. When she got home, her mother-in-law and Tangtang were already asleep. The weather was cold, and Tangtang didn't cry when she got into bed. After drinking milk, she slept soundly all night.
Every winter is a disaster for Jiang Shuya. She is afraid of the cold, especially at night. No matter how thick the quilt is, it doesn't help her. Her hands and feet are always cold. She can't warm up the quilt all night. Last night, the north wind blew all night. When she got up in the middle of the night, she caught a cold. When she got up in the morning, she felt dizzy and lightheaded. She drank a cup of hot milk tea, which warmed her up a bit. She felt a little better, but she didn't rest anymore and continued to catch the bus.
After a long day, I felt dazed and my movements became slow. I felt lightheaded and unsteady. Fortunately, Wang Ziliang came to help me and comforted me, saying, "Hey cousin, you're carrying more and more stuff, going up and down the stairs again and again. Why don't you find someone to help you or watch the goods for you? Where are your family members?"
"My family is all busy and doesn't have time. Thank you for taking the time to help me recently. I'll give you a bigger red envelope at the end of the month."
She replied listlessly, pulling the hood of her down jacket over her head to shield herself from the snow. She didn't want to endure that icy, bone-chilling feeling for another second.
Wang Ziliang didn't notice her odd behavior and waved his hand, "No need for a red envelope, don't be shy. If you need anything, just let me know. I've handed over some of my orders to Xiao Wu. If he can handle it, I'll be there whenever you call."
He kept busy with his work without stopping for a moment, and then said, "The weather is getting colder and colder, and thieves are not willing to come out. Your car is gone, and I guess you won't be able to find it. Many police investigations only find clues when the thief commits another crime. With the end of the year approaching, thieves also need to go home for the New Year."
Jiang Shuya said helplessly, "Just consider it as money I'm giving to that thief to burn as paper money."
Wang Ziliang chuckled and echoed his sentiment.
At this moment, she felt some pain in her stomach and a feeling of heaviness. She subconsciously wanted to go to the toilet, so she told Wang Ziliang and went to the mall to find a restroom.
She squatted for a long time without feeling the urge to defecate. She slowly washed her hands, walked out of the restroom, and came out of the mall. The snow was still falling, and people were coming and going in the square. A young security guard was shoveling snow that had been swept to the side of the road and piling it up to build a snowman. Wang Ziliang was no longer there. He must have been rushing to deliver the last batch of goods and had set off.
Braving the wind and snow, the white rabbit fur on her hat was covered in snowflakes, which quickly froze, leaving the soft feathers swaying. She hadn't walked far when she felt a wave of dizziness, her head felt hotter, and she felt some kind of discharge from below. Suddenly, she woke up. Ah! It was her period. Her period, which had been gone for a year, had returned. It hadn't appeared since Tangtang started breastfeeding, and she knew her periods had always been irregular. Tangtang had been weaned for over two months, and now it had come to report for duty.
Just then, a figure appeared in front of her in a daze. He called her name twice before she heard him. It was Lin Moxiao! Huh! Why was he here? Was he asking her to go to a concert again? She was so embarrassed. She wasn't feeling well at all today!
His eyes were fixed on her, filled with longing and warmth, but she didn't notice. She stood there motionless, her head buzzing with heat.
"Jiang Shuya, are you standing here waiting for someone?" He looked around and saw that she hadn't moved.
She felt a little embarrassed, her consciousness began to blur, and she felt helpless, hoping he would leave quickly. Another warm sensation flowed from below her. She turned her head to look at the mall and search for a store. At this moment, she was sure that her underwear and outer pants were dirty and she desperately needed sanitary napkins. She could only blame herself for being too forgetful and forgetting such an important thing. She moved her feet and felt extremely annoyed. How could she not have noticed when she went to the bathroom?
Seeing the anxiety on her face, he asked again, "Are you looking for someone?"
"I'm not looking for anyone, I want to buy something." She felt the warm flow from her underwear going down again. If she went to the store, the blood would drip onto the ground, which would be extremely embarrassing.
"What are you buying? Do you want me to come with you?" He walked over, then turned back to look at her when he realized she hadn't followed.
Jiang Shuya found it hard to say, and after glancing around, it seemed that only he could help her: "Could you please do me a favor? I need sanitary napkins."
He was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood: "Okay, I'll go now, wait for me here."
As he left, she clutched her stomach and groaned. Menstrual cramps, those damned cramps, came uninvited. Didn't Mom say they would get better after giving birth? Why didn't they go away?
In the past, whenever she had her period, she had to rest for two days no matter what she did. The pain was so intense that she couldn't do anything and could only suffer in bed, each day feeling like an eternity.
A sharp pain made her break out in a cold sweat. A moment later, Lin Moxiao appeared in front of her quickly, carrying a large, bulging shopping bag: "I didn't know which size you wanted, so I bought two bags of each. Here you go."
Seeing what he reached out to hand her, she weakly reached for it, but before she could grasp it, she was about to collapse. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, Lin Moxiao stepped forward and picked her up, saying in a low voice, "Jiang Shuya, what's wrong?"
He touched her face; it was burning hot. He picked her up and carried her to the car. After opening the door, he gently placed her in the back seat, turned on the air conditioning, and drove away.
She was unconscious. He called her name twice, but she didn't respond. So he took her directly home to Yushan Apartment.
Upon arriving at Yushan Apartment, he placed her on the sofa, quickly found the first-aid kit, took out a thermometer, and took her temperature. The electronic screen showed 38.5 degrees Celsius, indicating a fever. He took out the traditional Chinese medicine he thought was effective in reducing fever, dissolved it in hot water, and brought it to her lips, whispering, "Here, drink the medicine. You'll feel better soon."
She didn't open her eyes, nor did she realize where she was, but she could feel a warm mist being brought to her lips. She opened her mouth, feeling thirsty, and took two sips. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she muttered to herself, "What kind of water is this? It's too bitter. I don't want to drink it."
"This is medicine. You'll get better after drinking it. Here, have a couple more sips." He gently reminded her, then held the water to her lips, lifted her head, and gave her two more sips. It was so bitter that she frowned. "I told you I don't want to drink it, but you insisted."
“You’ll feel better after drinking this. You have a fever.” He reminded her again, patiently supporting the back of her head and urging her to continue drinking. She turned her face to the side, pushed his wrist away, leaned against him, and whispered, “I feel unwell. Something is coming out of my clothes.”
