In the afternoon, the warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the ground of the shelter, and all around was quiet.
An Lan lay quietly on the bed, her brows slightly furrowed, and her expression showing a hint of something unusual.
Lu Fan, who was tidying up his hunting tools, also noticed the situation and looked up at An Lan from time to time, his eyes full of worry.
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer. He gently walked to the bedside and asked softly, "Anlan, are you feeling unwell?"
An Lan gently shook her head and replied softly, "No, I'm just a little sleepy."
Lu Fan couldn't believe her story and pressed her for details: "Tell me the truth, what really happened?"
"It's really nothing, don't worry about it."
Unable to withstand Lu Fan's repeated questioning, An Lan hesitated for a while, her face turning bright red like a ripe tomato, before slowly leaning close to Lu Fan's ear and explaining to him in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
What?! You're pregnant with my child?!
Lu Fan suddenly stood up, raised his voice, and his face instantly lit up with uncontrollable joy.
That shout was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing the live stream to erupt in excitement.
"Aa ...
"I've cracked open! What happened?"
"What's going on? How did I suddenly get pregnant? What did I miss?!"
"Impossible! I watch their live streams every day. They have no chance. Absolutely impossible!"
"Ahhh, my goddess~"
"Don't bother checking if I'm already dead, (@_@)"
An Lan, lying on the bed, blushed deeply with embarrassment. She instantly became furious and clenched her fist, throwing it at Lu Fan. Her voice cracked with urgency as she shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who's pregnant with your child!"
Seeing An Lan suddenly jump up excitedly, Lu Fan quickly caught her fist and supported her, afraid that she would fall.
"Just kidding, just kidding. It's just your period. I'm here for you, don't worry."
Lu Fan hurriedly begged for mercy while gently comforting her.
An Lan's face flushed red and then turned pale. She angrily punched him and scolded, "You're really going to drive me crazy!"
Lu Fan helped An Lan lie down again, carefully wrapped the bearskin tightly around her body, and said gently, "You wait patiently."
After saying that, he turned and left, quickly found some honey, carefully brewed a bowl of honey water at the right temperature, and brought it to An Lan with a concerned look on his face: "Drink some of this, it will make you feel better."
An Lan rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't help but smile. She took the honey water, took a sip, and the sweet taste instantly spread across her tongue.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Fan picked up a bamboo tube and filled it with hot water.
Once the water temperature is suitable, seal it tightly with a wooden stopper to ensure that not a single drop of water leaks out.
He quickly ran back to the room and handed the bamboo tube to An Lan: "Holding your stomach will definitely make you feel better."
Even after doing all this, Lu Fan still felt it wasn't thorough enough.
He suddenly remembered the ginseng he had painstakingly found in the wild and thought it was a highly nourishing substance that might help Anlan alleviate her menstrual discomfort.
So he excitedly ran to the storage room, found the ginseng, strode back to Anlan's bedside, and said expectantly, "Anlan, I brought the ginseng. This stuff is very nourishing. If you eat some, you'll definitely feel more energetic."
An Lan looked at the ginseng in Lu Fan's hand, feeling both amused and annoyed. She quickly reached out to stop him, saying, "No, you really can't eat this ginseng right now."
Lu Fan looked puzzled, scratched his head, and asked, "Why? Isn't ginseng a good thing?"
An Lan smiled helplessly and patiently explained, "You know, ginseng is indeed a good thing. It has the effects of greatly replenishing vital energy, strengthening the spleen and benefiting the lungs, but you have to eat it at the right time."
I'm currently menstruating, and my physical condition is different from usual. My constitution is already a bit on the hot side, and during my period, my blood and qi are in a very active state. Ginseng is warm in nature, so taking it is like adding fuel to the fire, only making the internal heat even stronger.
At that time, menstrual flow may become unusually heavy, and the menstrual period may be prolonged, making you feel even more uncomfortable.
Lu Fan was stunned, then suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! I thought this treasure would work anytime. It seems there's a lot to know about menstruation."
An Lan continued, "Moreover, even for girls with a weak constitution, it's important to be cautious about whether or not they can take ginseng during their menstrual period."
Everyone's physical condition is different, so it is necessary to make a judgment based on the specific symptoms.
Some women experience chills and abdominal pain during their menstrual period. Eating a little ginseng might be helpful, but it shouldn't be excessive.
Lu Fan nodded repeatedly, carefully putting the ginseng away, and said, "It's a good thing you know about these things, otherwise I almost did something wrong with my good intentions. So, besides drinking honey water and applying a hot compress, what else would you like to eat? I'll go get it for you."
Seeing Lu Fan's nervous yet earnest expression, An Lan felt a warmth in her heart and said with a smile, "No need, this is enough for you. Don't bother, take a break."
Lu Fan persisted, "That won't do. You're going through a special time right now, and I need to take good care of you. How about I go find you some blood-nourishing foods so you can replenish your blood?"
As he spoke, he lifted his foot to walk out.
An Lan quickly grabbed him: "Listen to me. Girls don't necessarily have to eat specific things during their period. Things like dairy products, fish, shrimp, and animal organs are fine. The main thing is to supplement protein and iron. Don't act like the sky is falling."
Seeing Lu Fan's still worried face, An Lan smiled helplessly: "Oh, there's really nothing to do now, we'll talk about it later. You can sit here and chat with me."
Lu Fan then sat down and chatted with An Lan.
He would vividly recount the interesting things he had encountered in the wild, and then ask Anlan with concern what discomfort she might experience during her period. He would also get up from time to time to add hot water to Anlan's water or reheat the bamboo tube.
Live broadcast room.
"Thank goodness, I'm not pregnant. I was so scared."
"It was just a matter of time."
"Hehe, I give up. My girlfriend also wants to drink honey water. Where am I supposed to get honey water? I'm going crazy."
"What's that? My mistress was making a fuss about wanting to eat ginseng, so I beat her up."
"666"
The shelter was filled with a warm atmosphere all afternoon.
"Are you feeling any better?"
"It can't be that fast!"
"Would you like something to eat? How about I cut off some of the large deer antlers to nourish you?"
"Are you a devil?!"
"Anyway, it won't die if you cut it off."
Although An Lan was enduring the discomfort of her period, Lu Fan was busy taking care of her, which filled her with gratitude. This warmth was enough to dispel her physical discomfort and make this special afternoon particularly unforgettable.
