712 Period
Su Xiaolu refused to admit that she had something on her mind. As she dealt with Sun Baoqian, she thought of a reason.
When her stomach hurt a little, she frowned and said awkwardly, “Actually, my stomach hurts. I might be having my period soon. It’s my first time, so my emotions have been affected a little these few days.”
Sun Baoqian saw Su Xiaolu frown and cover her lower abdomen. She quickly asked, “Is this your first time? Is it very painful? If it is, let Elder Wu take a look. It’s said that doctors can’t treat themselves. Let him take a look.”
Sun Baoqian believed her. She did not expect Su Xiaolu to still not have her period at the age of 14.
Although it was a little late, it was about time it came. Sun Baoqian recalled that when she first had her period, she was also inexplicably frustrated and did not feel good no matter what. Her stomach still hurt, so she was even more unhappy. Her condition was similar to Su Xiaolu’s now.
“No need. I’ll be fine after a nap.”
Su Xiaolu found an excuse. Her mood was soothed and her smile was sincere.
Seeing that Su Xiaolu was no longer frowning, Sun Baoqian felt that something was wrong, but she did not know what was wrong.
Su Xiaolu’s emotions came and went quickly. She had already returned to normal.
“I’m going to turn 15 after the new year. I didn’t notice it before, but I only remembered when my stomach hurt. I haven’t had my period yet, which made me depressed and made my family worry about me. However, all women have this hurdle. I have to survive it too.”
The more Su Xiaolu spoke, the more relaxed she became. With the strange feeling in her heart out of her mouth, everything became natural.
Su Xiaolu looked at Sun Baoqian and asked in embarrassment, “Second Sister-in-law, when was the first time you had your period? Did it hurt?”
Sun Baoqian smiled and said, “The first time I had my period was when I was 13 years old. At that time, I didn’t have much of an appetite and I wasn’t in good spirits. My heart seemed to be stuffy and my stomach hurt slightly. My mother comforted me and said that all women would have to face this. Then, one day, it suddenly came.”
Sun Baoqian thought for a moment and added, “Just like you now.”
“Xiaolu, don’t worry. Every woman will have it. As long as you don’t eat anything cold and spicy for the next few days, it won’t hurt. It’ll pass quickly.”
Sun Baoqian was very gentle. She told Su Xiaolu everything she knew, including how to make her period pad.
Su Xiaolu was not good at needlework, but women made these things on their own. That was about it.
“Thank you, Second Sister-in-law. I’ll be careful.”
Su Xiaolu listened seriously. She was very grateful to Sun Baoqian for comforting her.
Seeing that Su Xiaolu was fine, Sun Baoqian heaved a sigh of relief and got up to return to her room.
After Sun Baoqian returned to her room, she took some things. Before she could even talk to Su Hua, she came to Su Xiaolu. These were all clean period pads that she had made.
Sun Baoqian even taught Su Xiaolu how to use it. Su Xiaolu remembered it seriously.
After giving her instructions, Sun Baoqian returned to her room to rest.
Sun Baoqian returned to her room and closed the door. She heaved a sigh of relief and turned to walk into the room. “Xiaolu is fine. Don’t worry.”
Su Hua unbuttoned his clothes. “Thank you, Qianqian. Is Xiaolu worried about something?”
Sun Baoqian walked to the dressing table and sat down. As she untied the hairpin, she said, “No, she’s maturing, so she’s depressed and getting emotional for no reason. It’s Xiaolu’s first time having her period, so her stomach hurts a little. She’s listless, so she looked a little depressed.”
“Ahem.”
Su Hua coughed lightly. He did not expect Su Xiaolu to not have her period yet. It turned out that they were all thinking too much.
That’s right. Su Xiaolu treated Zhou Zhi as her Fourth Brother. How could she have feelings for her brother? What they had was just the relationship between siblings.
“I’ll have to trouble you with these things in the future. Sister-in-law is the same as Master. She only cares about academics. Mother has to take care of Yu, I’m afraid she didn’t think of this. You’re the most thoughtful.”
Su Hua unbuttoned his clothes and walked to the mirror with only his undergarments on. He bent down slightly and looked at the woman in the mirror.
Sun Baoqian blushed and nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry, I’ve thought about it. I’ll take care of Xiaolu.”
After being married for two years, Su Hua treated her too well. He was gentle and never went to brothels or bars with others. How could she let him down?
Sun Baoqian knew that Su Xiaolu was not good at needlework or cooking. She had already decided to prepare a lot of period pads for Su Xiaolu during this period of time. It could last Su Xiaolu for more than a year.

Su Xiaolu fell asleep after Sun Baoqian left. She did not sleep peacefully.
Her dream pulled her back to her previous life, when she first had her period.
At that time, she was already in her second year of middle school. She knew that girls would have their periods.
Many of her female classmates had it, but she didn’t. She knew she was healthy, but she was just later than others. She knew her period would come, but she didn’t know when. There was a relay baton race in that physical education class. Her pants were stained red with blood as she ran at full speed.
A boy mocked her. “Look, look, Su Xiaolu used all her strength and even bled.” The boys roared with laughter. The girls surrounded her with concern and asked Su Xiaolu if she needed help.
It was useless for the teachers to stop the boy. The boy only said in a very casual tone, “Teacher, it’s just a joke.”
Only Su Xiaolu’s face was red. She was humiliated and angry. After calming down for a few seconds, she walked up angrily and punched the boy’s stomach. She said fiercely, “This is my full strength, do you understand?”
Her heroic feat made the heckling boys instantly shut up. At the same time, the girls applauded and cheered.
Su Xiaolu turned around and returned to the dormitory to change.
When she woke up from the dream, it seemed to be a sign. Su Xiaolu felt that her period was here. She got up and could already smell the blood.
The ancient menstrual pad was actually a modified version of the sanitary pads of the future.
It was not as easy to leak as cloth. There was also oilcloth that was leakproof at the bottom.
Su Xiaolu changed according to Sun Baoqian’s instructions and was no longer sleepy.
It had been a long time since she thought about her previous life.
Now that her period was here, she recalled some memories of her previous life. The unfinished dream surfaced clearly in her mind.
She still remembered that it was her grandfather and Master who said to her with the kindest smile, “Girl, you’re a big girl now. We have to buy some braised meat and some good wine to celebrate.”
However, now, she had no one to complain to. Su Xiaolu released Mantis Shrimp from the Space and asked Mantis Shrimp, “Guardian Beasts can travel through time and space to protect the world. Can you go back in time?”
Mantis Shrimp was originally sleepy, but it perked up when it heard that. It looked at Su Xiaolu intently and its cute voice entered Su Xiaolu’s sea of consciousness. “Yes, yes. Xiaolu, do you want to see someone?”
