The mattress dipped slightly beside her, and feeling the man behind her had lifted the blanket to get into bed, Ning Xiaofei hurriedly scooted towards the edge of the bed, her hands and feet icy cold. She was afraid of accidentally touching Mu Tianye and upsetting him again.
Sensing the movements of the girl beside him, Mu Tianye frowned, turned to give her his back, and reached out to turn off the bedside lamp.
The room plunged into darkness in an instant.
Ning Xiaofei lay with her eyes closed but couldn't fall asleep, no matter how she tried. Her periods were usually irregular but not particularly painful; perhaps it was the recent overwork, or maybe because she had indulged in ice cream a few times as the weather warmed up… This time the menstrual pain was exceptionally fierce.
Not only did her lower abdomen suffer waves of cramping pain, but her entire lower back felt icy cold, as if it was broken.
