This time, her period came on with a vengeance. In the evening, Bai Xiao started to feel stomach cramps, painful whether she stood or sat, so much so that she lost her appetite for dinner and went upstairs to sleep in the middle of the meal.
But she couldn't sleep! It hurt even when she lay down!
Bai Xiao clutched at her stomach, tossing and turning without being able to fall asleep. Eventually, she curled up on the bed and couldn't help but moan out loud.
"What's wrong?"
Suddenly, Ye Huang's voice came from beside her ear. Bai Xiao opened her eyes, her face pale, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
Ye Huang's heart tensed up in an instant, and without hesitation, he threw aside the covers and went to hold her: "I'll take you to the hospital."
"No need," Bai Xiao pushed away his hand, "it's just dysmenorrhea, it'll pass in a while."
Dysmenorrhea?
Ye Huang furrowed his brows.
