"I got my period," Su Mo said through clenched teeth, "Just had a fight and a shower, it hurts a bit."
"Wait for me," Lu Chen adjusted her blanket, opened the door, and walked out. He soon returned with a glass bottle of hot water and a cup of steaming brown sugar water.
He took off his clothes, changed into pajamas, and first lay on the side to make sure his temperature was warm before scooping Su Mo into his arms, inserting the hot water bottle under the blanket against her belly.
"Drink some brown sugar water," he picked up the cup from the bedside table, checked to make sure it was cool enough, and then brought it to Su Mo's lips.
With the dual comfort of the brown sugar water and the hot water bottle, Su Mo indeed felt much better and her brows slightly relaxed.
"I'll stay with you for a while," Lu Chen pulled up the blanket, aligning his entire body next to hers.
"Mmm."
