Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Oh, You Mean That
Lu Cheng hadn’t expected Shen Nian to jump right off of him and, on top of that, run straight into the bathroom and shut the door.
But thankfully, judging from her movements just now, she didn’t seem to be seriously injured.
’Could it be she really isn’t hurt? But if she’s not hurt, then where did the blood come from?’
Lu Cheng couldn’t figure it out. He called out to Shen Nian through the bathroom door, and only after confirming she was all right inside did he go find some clothes for her.
A few minutes later, Shen Nian emerged from the bathroom, all cleaned up.
The moment Shen Nian opened the door, Lu Cheng hurried over and pulled her in to inspect her from head to toe.
"Are you really okay?"
"I’m fine. I told you, I’m really not hurt."
"Then, where did the blood come from?"
Lu Cheng had clearly smelled the metallic tang of blood. It was definitely blood, not paint or something similar.
"Um, well, it’s... you know, that thing girls get every month. It just started all of a sudden, and I wasn’t prepared, so that’s why... Actually, Aunt Wang didn’t push me. I just suddenly felt a bit unwell and fell over."
Discussing a topic like her period with a man, even her own husband, still made Shen Nian feel a bit shy. However, she knew that if she didn’t explain it clearly, Lu Cheng would never stop worrying.
With two women in the Lu Family, Lu Cheng naturally knew about a woman’s monthly cycle. It was just that he had been so frantic about Shen Nian’s condition that the possibility of her period being the cause for the blood hadn’t even crossed his mind.
Shen Nian, the one doing the explaining, seemed fine, but it was Lu Cheng, the one listening, whose face turned red. His tone of voice also took on a hint of discomfort.
"In that case, you should lie down and rest right away. Are you still feeling unwell?"
Shen Nian had just said she fell because she felt unwell, and Lu Cheng had also seen how pale she had been. He immediately helped support Shen Nian and walked her toward the bed.
"Okay, I’ll rest for a while. Go tell Mom and Dad and the others that I’m fine so they don’t worry."
In her previous life, Shen Nian had suffered from terrible menstrual cramps. At their worst, the pain would have her writhing on the bed.
In this life, thanks to the nourishment of the Spiritual Spring Water, her period was actually much more manageable this time. And it would definitely continue to get even better in the future.
"Okay, you lie down for a bit."
After helping Shen Nian lie down on the bed, Lu Cheng got up, opened the door, and walked out.
The moment the door opened, the three people waiting outside immediately stood up and walked towards Lu Cheng.
"Lu Cheng, how is Xiao Nian?"
"Bro, is Sis-in-law okay?"
"She’s fine. Mom, I need to ask you something."
With that, Lu Cheng pulled Sun Yufeng aside.
Sun Yufeng was confused. It wasn’t until Lu Cheng had pulled her to a stop a short distance away that she looked at him and spoke.
"What’s wrong? What did you want to ask? Is it something delicate concerning Xiao Nian?"
’The location of the bloodstain was a bit sensitive. Perhaps the dear girl was too embarrassed to let Lu Cheng look and sent him to find me instead!’
"Xiao Nian is fine. Mom, I wanted to ask... when a woman is on her time of the month, what does she need to be careful about?"
Even though Lu Cheng had mentally prepared himself, he still felt rather embarrassed asking his mother this question, and he couldn’t stop a blush from creeping onto his face.
"Her time? What time? Oh! You mean *that*!"
Sun Yufeng didn’t quite catch on when she first heard Lu Cheng’s question. However, after seeing his reaction, she quickly put two and two together.
And with that, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
