Chapter 205: The Less Reserved_1
"No need to thank me, just pack me some extra tea leaves, and I must congratulate you, Erhu, it has not been easy waiting day by day for your little wife to grow up. Now, you’re finally going to have your wish come true." This is how men talk when there are no women around, always with a hint of color in their conversations. Even Doctor Zheng, now quite familiar with Zhao Erhu, spoke with less reservation.
"Why did Doctor Zheng need to take you outside? It’s not like I really have some illness you’re hiding from me, right?" Lin Yue hadn’t felt anything was amiss until seeing Zhao Erhu come back acting a bit off after being called out by Doctor Zheng, like he was holding back something, which made her overthink.
Lin Yue didn’t know that Zhao Erhu was afraid of getting too excited and offending his little wife, whose temper had been a bit foul these past two days. Although she seemed much more normal now, she was still on the edge of danger. Who knew if she might explode again? He thought it was best to tread carefully.
"What crazy ideas are you thinking up? Doctor Zheng said you’re healthy; I’m just happy that my little wife has grown up," Zhao Erhu said, and could not help but express his joy, picking up Lin Yue and spinning her around before setting her down again, slightly startled.
Lin Yue frowned at Zhao Erhu’s strange behavior. "Zhao Erhu, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind or taken the wrong medicine?"
"My silly wife, you’ve grown up; you’re going to have your menstruation soon, and of course, I’m happy!" Zhao Erhu laughed heartily.
"What, menstruation is coming?" Lin Yue was somewhat stunned; she hadn’t expected that her long-absent aunt would be visiting. It explained why she had been feeling off lately. On reflection, those were indeed the signs of an impending period. She hadn’t had it since her arrival, probably due to the malnutrition and frailty of her body and the constant busyness that made her forget about the monthly inconvenience. Now, it seemed to be making its presence felt.
Zhao Erhu misunderstood Lin Yue’s stunned reaction, thinking perhaps she wasn’t valued much at her family home, and her mother must not have explained these things to her. That was why his little wife didn’t understand what was happening, and he felt even more pity for her. She truly was pitiable, having suffered with such parents in the past. He would take good care of her from now on.
"Don’t worry, this is something every woman experiences. After you grow up, it’s natural. Don’t be afraid; I have everything prepared for you." Zhao Erhu, having been married twice before, was well-acquainted with these matters, even knowing more than Lin Yue, who was used to using sanitary pads.
However, upon hearing Zhao Erhu’s words, the corner of Lin Yue’s mouth twitched. Her older man was starting to show a potential for becoming ’Daddy Cool,’ having everything ready for her. But this woman’s business, he—a grown man—would prepare sanitary products for her? No, here it seemed they were called materials for menstrual affairs.
