Sister, can I be a maid too?

The girl blinked and couldn't help but speak:

"What are you doing?"

"I'm researching how to relieve the discomfort when a girl gets her period," Jiang Yubai said casually.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia couldn't help but giggle:

"Check it now?"

"Otherwise, what can I do? I have no experience, and neither do the people around me," Jiang Yubai said lazily. "I can't just tell you to 'drink more hot water,' can I?"

He paused after speaking, then said "Oh."

"Wait a minute, it seems... it's not entirely zero experience."

"What?" Lin Jianxia was taken aback.

Jiang Yubai didn't answer directly, but simply put his phone aside, his tone becoming more serious:

"Try it—place your hands on your lower abdomen, gently lift them up, then slowly massage in a few circles, and then press them inwards slightly."

Lin Jianxia tried it out, half believing and half doubting.

I don't know if it was just psychological, but the pain actually subsided a bit.

"It seems... I am indeed feeling a bit better..." Lin Jianxia said hesitantly.

"Does it really work?"

Jiang Yubai was taken aback, looking even more surprised than she was.

"...I feel a little better," Lin Jianxia admitted softly, then couldn't help but ask, "Where did you learn this method?"

—Experienced? What kind of experience?

Suddenly, the girl's heart skipped a beat, and she was a little hesitant to listen to his answer.

Could it be... that Jiang Yubai once did something similar with a certain girl...?

"Oh, I read it in a book."

Jiang Yubai pursed her lips, as if she was enduring something.

Lin Jianxia blinked, and her tone suddenly relaxed:

"Oh, I see... What book?"

Postpartum care for sows.

Jiang Yubai spoke in a serious tone.

"........."

"........."

The silence lasted for a few seconds.

"Jiang Yubai!"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Don't throw the pillow! You still need to lean on it!"

I'll kill you!!!

-----------------

Five minutes later, Jiang Yubai carefully placed a pillow under Lin Jianxia's head, keeping a watchful eye on the little hedgehog, ready to poke him again.

Fortunately, the guy just gritted his teeth and glared at me; thankfully, he didn't launch a second attack.

He sat back down in his chair, just as he was wondering whether he should get the guy some brown sugar water, when he suddenly heard a hesitant voice beside him:

"Hey, Jiang Yubai..."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yubai replied casually.

Lin Jianxia, ​​lying on the bed, pulled the blanket up, her previously sullen gaze now wandering aimlessly.

"Um... um..."

The girl's voice was hesitant, yet it was filled with an undeniable curiosity.

"Do you guys experience this much pain during your molting period...?"

Chapter 124 "Is my sister here?"

Upon hearing this question, Jiang Yubai gave her a subtle look.

Lin Jianxia's ears turned red, and her gaze darted around, yet she couldn't hide the curiosity in her eyes.

—Does this idiot not usually go online? Could this really be the first time he's heard this term...?

For some reason, Jiang Yubai felt no sense of accomplishment whatsoever.

"Well...it varies from person to person."

He spoke in a very serious tone.

"Some guys are in excruciating pain, but I'm okay. However, this period is generally the most vulnerable time for guys, so they have to take good care of themselves."

Lin Jianxia gave an "Oh" that seemed to understand but not quite.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Yubai's expression was too serious that the subtle embarrassment in her heart gradually faded away, and curiosity took over instead.

Lin Jianxia bit her lower lip and couldn't help but ask again:

"So... how exactly was it changed?"

Jiang Yubai: "......."

Sister, isn't your question a bit ambiguous?

Who asked how the egg-changing period works?!

Besides, I don't know either...

Under Lin Jianxia's curious gaze, Jiang Yubai remained silent for a few seconds before speaking in a tone as if explaining something to someone:

"It's nothing really. You...you know about snakes shedding their skin, right?"

Snake shedding its skin?

Lin Jianxia blinked her eyes:

"I know..."

"Yeah, that's about right."

Jiang Yubai nodded.

Lin Jianxia whispered an "oh".

For a moment, the atmosphere in the study fell silent.

Jiang Yubai felt as if the wrinkles in his brain were almost smoothed out; he was truly impressed with himself for being able to make up such a serious lie.

Coming to his senses, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Jianxia on the bed.

The girl opposite me secretly rolled her eyes twice, her eyelashes fluttering, and I wondered what strange things she was thinking about.

...You actually believed it?

Jiang Yubai cleared his throat and added:

"Well, I'm telling you this because we're good friends. This is a very private matter, so please don't tell anyone else."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Jianxia immediately nodded, as if this secret was known only to the two of them.

"...By the way, are you still in pain?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia blinked, her previously focused attention suddenly relaxed, and the sharp pain in her abdomen returned clearly.

"Ugh..." she said, clutching her stomach with a pained expression, her voice muffled, "It still hurts a little."

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yubai hesitated for a moment, but still poured her a cup of hot water and placed it on the bedside table:

"Here, drink more lava."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Where are you... going?" Lin Jianxia asked instinctively.

"Don't you have a bad stomach?" Jiang Yubai didn't even turn around. "I'll go downstairs to the pharmacy and buy you some medicine."

He waved his hand, opened the study door, and walked out.

Lin Jianxia only withdrew her gaze from the door after Jiang Yubai had been gone for quite some time.

She was wrapped in a blanket, blinking her eyes as she looked around.

The room was quiet, so quiet that you could hear your own breathing and heartbeat.

The furnishings in this study were incredibly familiar; after all, she had been here countless times—to do practice tests, read books, memorize vocabulary...

Sometimes she brings her daughter Wanwan, and sometimes it's just her and Jiang Yubai.

But she never imagined that one day she would be curled up on this bed, her stomach aching and she was in a daze, waiting for him to come back with medicine.

His gaze unconsciously drifted toward the study door, stared at it for two seconds, and then "whoosh" turned his head back.

—It's just...it's just buying some medicine!

Lin Jianxia took a deep breath, trying to pull her attention away from that bad guy.

What else could I be thinking about?

Oh, right... molting season...

She glanced guiltily at the door, hesitated for a moment, then quietly pulled her phone out from under the covers. Her fingertip hovered over the screen for a moment before she finally couldn't resist and opened the browser.

—They probably won't be back so soon, will they?

-----------------

After going downstairs and passing through the gate of the residential area, Jiang Yubai paused slightly at the street corner.
