Chapter 388: 388 can’t eat sugar_1

Her abdomen really hurt. Lu Qingyi was sitting on the sofa, holding her stomach, with a laptop in her hand, typing somewhat strenuously.

There were still things to be done.

Xu Boyan was busy in the kitchen doing who-knows-what. Lu Qingyi glanced over casually, then returned her gaze to her work.

There were still a lot of things she needed to work on, and Ruan Qingyang’s situation remained somewhat of a puzzle.

"Little one, does it hurt a lot?"

Xu Boyan came out of the kitchen holding a hot bowl of brown sugar ginger tea. He set it on the table, looking at Lu Qingyi’s conspicuously pale face.

He had specifically looked up menstrual issues online, having had no prior understanding of them.

"No."

Lu Qingyi gently shook her head, grimacing as she spoke.

This small pain, she could endure. It wasn’t a big deal. Just bear with it, and it would pass. It only lasted a few days anyway.

"You’re sweating."

Xu Boyan sighed softly, squatting down. He gently wiped the sweat off the corners of her forehead.

The pain was severe.

Little one was really tolerant and didn’t like to trouble others.

If only Lu Qingyi could be like other girls, expressing her pain and grievances openly.

That little one of his was really strong, bearing everything silently and by herself.

"I’m fine. If you have anything to do, go ahead."

Lu Qingyi took a deep breath and slowly shook her head again.

She genuinely could endure this little bit of pain. There was really nothing to worry about.

"Drink this bowl of brown sugar ginger tea."

Xu Boyan brought the bowl of brown sugar ginger tea from the table to Lu Qingyi and said tenderly.

He’d spent quite some time in the kitchen figuring out how to make it. According to Baike (Chinese version of Wikipedia), drinking a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea can help soothe menstrual cramps.

Even if the ginger tea didn’t help much, since it warms the stomach, it wouldn’t do any harm. That’s what Xu Boyan thought when he prepared it for Lu Qingyi.

Raising her eyes to look at the bowl of brown sugar ginger tea in front of her, she felt the cloying sweetness wafting up from the surface. The warm liquid sloshed slightly in the bowl, inducing chills in Lu Qingyi.

Yes, chills. A hot cup of brown sugar ginger tea might be comforting to others, but to Lu Qingyi at that moment, it felt cold.

She hadn’t even taken a sip, but she could already picture the aftermath once that bowlful ended up in her stomach.

"I don’t want it."

Turning her face away, Lu Qingyi murmured, shaking her head.

"Come on, have a sip?"

Xu Boyan gently rubbed Lu Qingyi’s head, his voice unusually gentle.

"I spent quite a long time making it. It’s not perfect because it’s my first time."

Xu Boyan brought the bowl to Lu Qingyi’s lips.

Of course, he had no idea that Lu Qingyi couldn’t have sweets during her period. He thought a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea would be beneficial for her.

Lu Qingyi stared at the brown sugar ginger tea in front of her, took a deep breath, and accepted the bowl from Xu Boyan, finishing the tea at once.

Xu Boyan had made it specially for her, investing great effort.

Lu Qingyi: "It’s delicious."

"Good little one, stop looking at your laptop. Lie down for a bit."

Xu Boyan gently rubbed Lu Qingyi’s head, then gently took away the laptop from her arms.

According to Baike, girls are especially vulnerable during their periods, so rest is of utmost importance.

Before Lu Qingyi could open her mouth, Xu Boyan bent down to pick her up.

"Little one, you’re so thin. You should eat more."

Xu Boyan carried Lu Qingyi into the bedroom, gently laid her on the bed, and leaned over to kiss her forehead.

There was a growing discomfort in her stomach. Lu Qingyi seemed to anticipate what was coming.

It was over.

That was the only thought in Lu Qingyi’s mind.

"You should leave. I’m feeling sleepy."

Lu Qingyi yawned, urging Xu Boyan to leave quickly.

As soon as Xu Boyan left, Lu Qingyi shot up from bed. Her face was somewhat pale, her discomfort evident.

It really hurt.

She was in indescribable pain.

Sometimes, Lu Qingyi felt very self-mocking. As Doctor L, she couldn’t even diagnose her own physical problems properly.

That was a failure.

The phone started vibrating. Lu Qingyi checked the message, then turned off the screen without replying.

The phone vibrated repeatedly. Lu Qingyi was getting slightly annoyed. She read the messages on her phone, but didn’t reply to any of them. She put the phone on standby and set it aside.

The pain in her abdomen seemed to be intensifying. Lu Qingyi held her stomach and quickly searched in the cupboard for medicine.

Ibuprofen granules.

She popped the medicine into her mouth, then returned to bed. The pain was still there, slightly dulled, or perhaps not - Lu Qingyi wasn’t sure.

She curled up on the bed, pulling the blanket over her body.

"Little one..."

The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open. Xu Boyan rushed in, worried. He quickly took Lu Qingyi in his arms.

Lu Qingyi’s forehead was drenched in a cold sweat, constantly dripping down. Her lips and face were extraordinarily pale, lacking any trace of blood.

"Does it hurt a lot?"

Xu Boyan held Lu Qingyi tightly. He had no idea what kind of pain Lu Qingyi was undergoing, but it made his heart ache.

He couldn’t relieve Lu Qingyi’s pain.

"Here, have a White Rabbit Creamy Candy."

Xu Boyan pulled a White Rabbit candy out of his pocket, peeled the wrapper, and tried to put it in Lu Qingyi’s mouth.

Lu Qingyi turned her head, avoiding Xu Boyan’s gesture.

Xu Boyan just thought Lu Qingyi liked White Rabbit candies, and eating one when she was in pain might relieve it a little, at least mentally, right?

Xu Boyan: "What’s wrong? Hm?"

"No candies."

Lu Qingyi shook her head. Was her intensified pain due to that bowl of sugary tea she just had?

Lu Qingyi couldn’t explain her own problem, which was extremely odd.

When most girls were on their periods, a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea could somewhat alleviate the pain. But for her, it was just the opposite - her pain was intensified.

She couldn’t eat sugar, she couldn’t eat sweets. Sweet things would only exacerbate her suffering, and increase her menstrual flow.

No candies?

Xu Boyan looked at the White Rabbit candy in his hand, then at Lu Qingyi’s face, contorted in pain. He seemed to comprehend something all of a sudden.

Earlier, when he brought the brown sugar ginger tea to Lu Qingyi, she refused at first and only drank it later.

Was Lu Qingyi’s current excruciation due to that bowl of brown sugar ginger tea?
