492: How Could He Just Leave Her Alone?

How Could He Just Leave Her Alone?

In the darkness, Yin Shaojie opened his eyes to look at the person in his arms.2

The room was silent as if the drop of a needle could be clearly heard.

Yin Shaojie's long arm reached over to grab Mu Xiaoxiao, trying to find out what was up with her.

However, when he touched her hand, he was shocked.

Why is her hand so cold!

He could even feel her trembling.

Yin Shaojie's sleepy feeling was dispelled at once, and he realized that Mu Xiaoxiao was shaking all over.

"Xiaoxiao? What's the matter?" he asked in a low voice.

His big hand touched her forehead to check if she had gotten a fever.

Little did he expect to only feel cold from the touch!

This time, Yin Shaojie was really frightened. He turned over and switched on the bedside lamp. He turned over the person in his arms to check on her anxiously.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao. Are you not feeling well?"

Seeing her eyes closed looking like she was asleep, Yin Shaojie couldn't afford to worry about that as he shook her to wake her up.

He was afraid that the lights were too glaring, so he turned the bedside lamp to its lowest brightness.

He brushed his hand across her forehead, and cold sweat was all over his hand.

Yin Shaojie looked down at her and saw that Mu Xiaoxiao was curled up, her hands wrapping her stomach.

He frowned. Had he really prophesied it to happen?

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, wake up. Are you having a stomachache?"

She was already feeling so uncomfortable; how could she still continue sleeping?

Finally, after calling her for two times, Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and said with a hoarse voice, "I'm not having a stomachache… Never mind, I'm fine. Go to sleep."

The wrinkle in Yin Shaojie's brows became deeper as he felt that there was something wrong with her.

He thought that she was sleeping so soundly that she hadn't even realized that she was uncomfortable.

But seeing at her like this, it seemed like she was aware that she was feeling uncomfortable, and she probably even knew where she was feeling uncomfortable, but she had chosen to endure it.

"Where exactly are you feeling uncomfortable?" Yin Shaojie was frantic with worry.

Wouldn't this wretch realize that he wouldn't just leave her alone like that?

Watching her breaking out in cold sweat and sleeping so poorly, how could he sleep!

Mu Xiaoxiao seemed very hesitant. Her face was stuck on the pillow, and she seemed to have mumbled something but it wasn't clear.

"Tell me! Are you trying to drive me up the wall!"

Yin Shaojie finally couldn't help but rebuke angrily.

Seeing her feeling so uncomfortable like this and not telling him, had she not considered how worried he would be?

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and raised her voice, saying, "It's… Aunt Flo[1] coming to visit, so it's fine. I will endure it for a while, and it'll be fine when I fall asleep. Let's talk when we wake up."

It was already so late, and he was also sleeping so soundly, so she didn't want to wake him.

Yin Shaojie still thought she was having a stomachache and didn't expect to hear this answer.

He stared blankly and said, "Aunt… Flo?"

Who's that?

Mu Xiaoxiao explained awkwardly, "That is… the thing that comes every month for girls! You are so annoying! You don't know anything about this. I know what's going on. I'll be fine. I just need to go to sleep."

Yin Shaojie finally realized. It was the thing the that came every month for girls.

He frowned as he watched her grimace, her hands wrapping her abdomen and cold sweat gradually forming on her forehead again.

"Do you… feel so uncomfortable every time it comes?"

Mu Xiaoxiao looked pained as she said, "No… I don't know why it's so uncomfortable this time…"
