Chapter 172 – Sure enough, people were more vulnerable when they weren’t feeling well (3)
Song Tingshen handed her the cup of brown sugar water. “It’s no trouble at all. I’ll take Little Wang downstairs to eat. Have a good rest. I’ll take care of Little Wang today. We won’t go anywhere. We’ll be right next door. If you need anything, just call me.”
Ruan Xia was even more moved. “Okay.”
Little Wang was reluctant to part from his mom. He kept turning back on the way out. “Mom, are you really okay?”
For lack of a better option, Ruan Xia explained again, “I’m okay, really. Baby, don’t worry.”
“Then I’ll go eat breakfast with dad. Mom stay here and have a good rest. If you want me to come back to play with you, then just...” Little Wang showed his phone watch. “Call me. I’ll come over immediately.”
“Okay, okay.” Ruan Xia just wanted to lie down on the bed after finishing breakfast.

Song Tingshen held Little Wang’s hand as they went to the hotel’s restaurant. The father and son found a quiet place by the window to sit.
Little Wang wasn’t interested in the breakfast on his plate. He was still thinking about his mom a lot. He persistently asked, “Is it okay to leave mom alone in the room? Mom was bleeding earlier!”
He remembered the blood on the bed sheets and his mom’s deathly pale face.
Song Tingshen was troubled. He didn’t know how to explain this matter to his son. It was obvious that Ruan Xia wasn’t feeling well today. Although she didn’t say anything about it to Little Wang, this incidental still left a deep impression on him. Trying to fool him wouldn’t work.
Faced with having to explain the scientific facts of female physiology to his son... Song Tingshen was under great pressure.
“Little Wang, you know there are differences between boys and girls, right?”
“I know. Dad and I are boys and mom is a girl.”
Song Tingshen gave him a thumbs up. “The differences in gender is because of different physiological structures. That is to say, mom has stuff that we don’t have and we have stuff that mom doesn’t have. It’s precisely because of this that there are differences between men and women. Mom is a girl. When she reached a certain age, her body went through obvious changes. One of them is having a menstrual cycle. Menstrual cycles are different for every girl. Some girls will have it every month, and other girls will have every other month. During this time, they’ll bleed for a few days. They’ll be fine after that. So, you don’t have to worry. This is normal.”
Little Wang had no clue what his dad was saying.
“Mom will bleed for a brief period every cycle, but this is very normal. You don’t have to worry.” Song Tingshen thought it over and said, “During those days, mom won’t feel well. So, we shouldn’t anger her during this time, Little Wang. We have to protect her and take care of her. Do you understand?”
With Little Wang’s current level of comprehension, it wasn’t possible for him to understand what a menstrual cycle meant, but since his dad had said mom was going to be okay, that meant she had to be okay.
Little Wang vigorously nodded. “Got it. Don’t make mom angry. Protect and take care of mom because mom is very unwell and this is hard on her.”
Rather gratified, Song Tingshen said, “Little Wang is so clever.”
