A Young Woman's Heart

"It's alright, it hurts a little, but I'm used to it." Mo Xueyao squinted at the sunlight, then took a deep breath. "I hope this ends soon. My fastest record is three and a half days..."

"Next time, please calculate the date more carefully."

"Oh, Wanyan, could you help me write this down? I always forget things myself."

"You."

"Little Yaoyao~ Are you alright?"

"fine……"

"Hey, there's no blood on the skirt."

"What exactly are you expecting?" Mo Xueyao glared at her, annoyed. "Have you forgotten how much pain you were writhing in agony in the infirmary last time?"

Hua Yinyin put her hands on her hips and said, "What old news is this?!"

Mo Xueyao pinched her chubby cheeks: "Who told you to laugh at me?"

"No, I was just concerned!"

Hua Yinyin received no answer, only a pair of eyes rolled back to the sky.

My planned PE class, where I was hoping to play badminton, was ruined.

I can only stay in the classroom and do some homework.

However, Mo Xueyao, who was somewhat irritable due to her sudden period, found it difficult to concentrate.

She leaned over the table and pulled a small mirror out of the drawer.

This was one of my previous birthday gifts. When closed, it looks like a card, but when opened, it contains a mirror and can also hold a very small folding comb.

The mirror reflected a delicate, doll-like young girl.

Her fair skin was flawless, and her sky-blue eyes seemed a little dim at the moment, but they also had a touch of understated beauty.

It must be said that beautiful things always bring peace of mind, even if it's just looking at yourself.

Perhaps due to the increasing estrogen levels in her body, she felt that she had significantly more subcutaneous fat than before. Specifically, her skin looked and felt soft to the touch, as if it had been stuffed with extra cotton.

"Ah—" She spread her hands on the table, "I really want to skip self-study and go straight home..."

"School let out earlier than usual today." Li Wanyan gently pinched a strand of hair at her temple.

"Wanyan, you said girls have periods, but do boys have periods too? I don't think so, right? Ah—that's not fair!"

"There is none physiologically."

"Right—"

"But in other aspects, girls are given preferential treatment, so a dynamic balance is achieved."

"The strong showing pity for the weak? Tsk."

"It's not necessarily true that the physically weaker party is the weaker one."

Mo Xueyao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that what Li Wanyan said made a lot of sense.

"When will technology be advanced enough that girls won't have to have periods?"

"...Perhaps when humans no longer need to have genders."

"Ah, those times were pretty scary." Mo Xueyao straightened up, looked down and took out a science fiction magazine from the drawer. She decided not to do her homework, but to immerse herself in this sea of ​​fantasy to forget the unpleasantness of reality.

At 8 p.m., the night market stalls downstairs had already set up.

The sounds of beer bottles clinking and burly men shouting came from the food stall.

There were also drunk people singing in the street, even though their tunes were practically out of the solar system.

The noisy night had just begun, but Mo Xueyao was already sleepy. She didn't look at the streetlights coming on, but simply changed into a clean sanitary napkin. Then, like a wooden doll, she lay on the bed, mechanically adjusting her position, her body a little stiff.

"Asleep?" Li Wanyan asked in surprise.

"Mmm, I'm going to sleep..." Mo Xueyao prayed softly, "I hope it doesn't leak out..."

"Just don't move around."

"I wouldn't know if I was asleep, I'll try my best..." She pouted, crossed her hands over her chest, and lay down like an Egyptian pharaoh in a coffin.

Nights when you have your period always make it hard to sleep.

The first day, in particular, saw the highest traffic volume.

I'm always anxious, afraid that if I move even slightly, it will leak out.

I often wake up in the middle of the night to check on my body, or I might get up in the middle of the night to change my clothes just in case.

Tonight will probably be the most sensitive night for Mo Xueyao this month.

It's possible that I might have to get up two or three times during the night to change it.

"Ah, pain, torment..." Mo Xueyao muttered, forcing herself to fall asleep quickly, hoping to get as much sleep as possible, because she knew she wouldn't sleep well tonight, so she could only make up for it with longer sleep durations...

Did I turn off the light for you?

"it is good."

"Good night."

"See you tomorrow……"

……

"Whoosh!" In the deep blue midnight, stars dotted the sky, mysterious and distant.

However, Mo Xueyao was clearly not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

She got out of bed stiffly, like a kneeless zombie, quickly went into the bathroom to check the situation, and then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Luckily, she had a premonition and woke up early. If she had been half an hour later, the stuff would probably have been fully absorbed, and the sheets would have been stained.

"Next time I'll have to go to the supermarket and buy the kind with the highest absorbency... If all else fails, I'll just use disposable diapers. I've had enough..." Mo Xueyao muttered, angrily throwing the blood-stained toilet paper into the trash can, and then sticking a new one into her boxer shorts.

Her biggest wish right now is to be able to sleep soundly until dawn and not have her stomach full again.

However, things didn't go as planned. Although the flow decreased significantly in the latter half of the night, my stomach started to hurt.

Cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and she couldn't help but curl up to warm her icy lower abdomen.

But if that happens, it will probably be leaked again.

So I could only force myself to lie straight and warm my stomach with my warm hands.

The only saving grace is that her hands are not cold even when she has her period.

Otherwise, I'll have to get a hot water bottle and put it on my stomach right now.

Time stretched out endlessly, each minute and second an agony. But as the first light of dawn broke, the pain subsided, and a wave of drowsiness washed over me...

Chapter 188 The All-Night Musical

(One)

This is the first Saturday morning of the senior year of high school when classes resumed as usual.

Mo Xueyao didn't even go to the band practice room today.

She was too lazy to walk up to the fifth floor, so she decided to come down just before class started, and then climb back up to the fifth floor...

When I have my period, it's like I've been injected with a drug called 'laziness,' and I don't want to move at all.

The sun outside the window was shining brightly, as if it had tinted the gentle breeze with color.

She squinted, her mind blank, and stared wide-eyed out the window. Several ants were crawling back and forth on the windowsill, and she wondered where their nest had been built.

The third person to arrive at the classroom today was not Mr. Xue, but Yue Tingfeng.

This guy was one of the lively characters in the class, like Zhou Yong and Gao Yuan, but most of the time he was just echoing what others said, looking like a shill or a straight man in a crosstalk performance.

—The latter situation can only be considered an occasional occurrence.

"Wow... so early? I thought I was early enough, hahaha..." Le Tingfeng's mouth was wide open, and you could see a leek leaf stuck in his big teeth.

"Your dark circles are really bad. Did you have insomnia last night?" Mo Xueyao rested her chin on her hand and glanced at him sideways. Even her usually bright blue eyes looked a little lazy today.

"I forgot I had class today, so, ha...ha..." Le Tingfeng scratched his head vigorously, trying to clear his head. "I didn't sleep last night..."

As he spoke, he sat down in the last row of the first group, casually tossed his backpack on the ground, and then slumped onto the table.

The sweet, soothing air of spring made it hard for him to keep his eyelids open.

"You didn't stay up all night and only remembered you had class this morning, did you?"

"No... wrong..." His voice had become as soft as a mosquito's buzz, barely opening his mouth before it came out of his throat.

The next second, he was completely asleep. At this moment, nothing in the world mattered to him. Even if the most piercing air raid siren sounded, he would just want to finish his sleep first.

……

Li Wanyan, who had just finished breakfast and gone to wash her hands, returned to the classroom and saw Le Tingfeng lying on the table. Her lips were slightly parted, but she didn't make a sound. She just glanced at Mo Xueyao.

"He stayed up all night and didn't sleep at all."

"Ah."

"This guy is hilarious. He thought there was no class today, so he stayed up all night. Speaking of which, I hope a lot of people won't be late today. After all, it's the first time we have to have class on a Saturday."

Perhaps.
