When Xu Tingchuan returned in the evening, Ni Sitian had no choice but to ask him if he was free next Wednesday evening.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Ni Sitian said with unease, "I wonder what Ni Ziqi has been stirring up in front of him again. I just feel that things are not so simple."
"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. Don't worry, I'm here." Xu Tingchuan was taking a boiled egg, wrapped in a towel, and gently rolling it on her cheek. He only put the towel down when he saw that the redness and swelling were almost gone.
"You have no idea, Ni Ziqi has a lot of tricks up her sleeve." She's suffered a lot at her hands since she was little.
"Then tell me what tricks she has up her sleeve." Xu Tingchuan wanted to know how she had been bullied in the past.
“When I was in elementary school, she would tear up all my homework on the last day of winter and summer vacations. As she got older, she became worse and worse.” Ni Sitian felt that Ni Ziqi’s misdeeds were too numerous to list. If she were to recount them one by one, it would probably take three days and three nights to finish.
But there is one thing that is particularly bad, and it seems that she has not mentioned it to Xu Tingchuan yet.
“The reason I have such severe menstrual cramps is because of Ni Ziqi.” Ni Sitian’s face darkened as she said this, and she bit her lip. “I had my first period when I was twelve. That day, Ni Ziqi pushed me into the river. It was deep winter, and the river was covered with a thin layer of ice. She and some of her friends were curious whether it was possible for a person to stand on the ice, so they pushed me out.”
She fell into the river with a splash. The water was icy cold, like thousands of ice picks piercing her body. If she hadn't been rescued, she probably would have died in the river.
Later, she developed dysmenorrhea, and in the beginning, she often suffered excruciating pain every month.
It only eased a little as I grew older, but it was still more painful than for most people. On that day, I couldn't do anything and had to take painkillers to relieve the pain.
After hearing what Ni Sitian said, Xu Tingchuan clenched his fist. He originally thought that Ni Sitian's pain was congenital, but it turned out to be a man-made disaster. Moreover, this disaster also made it difficult for her to get pregnant, and perhaps she would never have the chance to become a mother.
Ni Ziqi is only three years older than Ni Sitian, yet she has been so vicious since childhood.
At the age of fifteen, how could she not have judged that the thin ice could not support a person's weight? It is highly likely that she did it on purpose.
“Speaking of which, I feel like I’ve been much better the last two times I came here.” Seeing the growing rage in Xu Tingchuan’s eyes, Ni Sitian immediately grabbed his arm and changed the subject: “Your medicine seems to be working. I used to feel a cool sensation when I came here, but it’s much better now.”
"Really?" Xu Tingchuan's hand touched Ni Sitian's belly, and the anger in his eyes subsided a little. He saw her always frowning when she drank that bitter medicine, and he was actually thinking of giving up. He didn't want to put her through so much trouble because of having a child, especially since she had already mistakenly thought it was his fault.
Hearing her say that it's also effective in relieving menstrual cramps gave him a glimmer of hope.
"Yes, really." Ni Sitian might have exaggerated the effect, but it did have some effect.
Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly, but he was already thinking about something else.
After coaxing Ni Sitian to sleep, he got up and went to the study to call Pei Yang.
Pei Yang was surprised when he heard what he said: "Are you sure you want to do this? Isn't this bad for a girl?"
Xu Tingchuan scoffed, his voice cold as he said, "Just do it."
Pei Yang didn't ask any more questions, agreed, and hung up the phone.
