Lu Mian curled up on the bed with the blanket in her arms.
Soon, a text from Zero also arrived.
Zero: "Mian bro, how are you feeling today? That...time of the month has come, right?" Attached was a picture titled "dysmenorrhea mushroom.jpg."
Mian: "Yes, today."
Zero: "Damn, your monthly calamity! Should I come to find you?"
Mian: "I'm living next to people from the Jinjing Xiao Family, you guys shouldn't show your faces."
It seemed to take a long time for Zero to respond, but finally, he sent a message: "The elders at home say that it won't hurt after having kids. Do you want to find someone and have one?"
Mian: "Get lost."
Zero: "I'm serious!"
Mian: "Hail a cab and get lost!"
Her fingertips trembled slightly as she sent that message, then casually tossed the phone into the blanket.
Her periods were painful, the kind that made her feel like dying.
This wasn't a condition she was born with, but a sequelae from that kidnapping.
