Chapter 33: Sick

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Huanhuan slowly tore open the sanitary pad given by the system and stuffed it into her underwear.

She sat on the bed and wrapped herself in a thick but soft hide blanket. Her face was pale from blood loss, and she looked very depressed.

She had finally found the courage to make her relationship with Bai Di official, but she was forced to abort it because of her period’s sudden visit.

She couldn’t even bear to look at Bai Di, who had to pretend to be calm even though he was suppressing his urges. It was a tragedy!

Lin Huanhuan buried her face in the hide blanket, revealing only her large, uneasy eyes. “I’m sorry.”

Bai Di took her in his arms, blanket and all. His gaze was very gentle. “It’s alright. We have a lot of time. We can try again in the future.”

The next morning, as soon as Shuang Yun walked through the door, he smelled the thick scent of blood.

This smell of blood was different from ordinary blood. There was a sweet smell mixed in.

His expression changed as he rushed into the bedroom. When he saw Lin Huanhuan’s pale face as she wrapped herself in the hide blanket, his heart tightened.

“What happened to you? Are you hurt? I smell blood. I’m going to get the old witch doctor to take a look at you.”

Lin Huanhuan quickly stopped him. “I’m not injured. Don’t trouble the old witch doctor.”

“Then why do you smell of blood? Don’t lie to me. You must be hurt!”

Lin Huanhuan was very listless now and did not even have the strength to speak.

Hence, Bai Di took the initiative to call Shuang Yun aside and explain Lin Huanhuan’s special constitution.

Shuang Yun’s heart relaxed. Nothing else mattered as long as Huanhuan was not injured.

But when he saw how weak she looked, he couldn’t help but frown. “You look very uncomfortable. Do you really not want to get examined by the witch doctor?”

“No, it’s a normal reaction. I’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”

Shuang Yun helped her lie down and covered her with the blanket. “Then rest well. No matter what happens in the next few days, don’t move. We’ll help you do everything.”

Lin Huanhuan looked at him in amusement. “Why do you look gentler now?”

His expression stiffened, then he snorted. “It’s your imagination!”

“Oh, really?”

Shuang Yun covered her eyes and ordered her. “On the count of three, you need to sleep! One, two, three!”

Lin Huanhuan chuckled.

Shuang Yun was furious. “What are you laughing at?!”

“I find you annoying at times, but at other times, you can be quite adorable.”

The tips of Shuang Yun’s ears turned slightly red, but his tone was still firm. “Adorable is a word used to describe females and cubs!”

While they chatted, Bai Di silently retreated from the bedroom. He went to the cellar and took red berries from the sealed stone jar.

The old witch doctor had told him that this fruit could help replenish one’s blood. It would be very helpful for Huanhuan to eat these whenever she was on her period.

It was a pity that there weren’t too many of them stored at home. He would have to ask the old witch doctor if he had any more.

For some reason, when Lin Huanhuan’s period came this time, it was very painful.

She curled into a ball underneath the blanket. Her face was deathly pale, and she was in so much pain that she couldn’t even speak.

The pain eased a little as Bai Di fed her the berries, but she still looked terrible and weak.

Shuang Yun watched anxiously.

Ignoring Lin Huanhuan’s words earlier, he raced to drag the old witch doctor over.

Lang Zhu examined Lin Huanhuan and explained slowly.

“It’s because you were often at the entrance of the cave some time ago. The wind and snow were too strong, and your body is very weak to begin with. Logically speaking, you should have fallen ill back then, but Bai Di fed you Sourcing Leaf Fruits and helped you to suppress the illness. Now that you’re on your period and your body is weak, that illness took the opportunity to act up again.”

Shuang Yun asked nervously, “Will she ever recover?”

Lang Zhu stroked his white beard. “Of course, she’ll get better. She just has to suffer a little.”

He then squeezed a few kinds of fruits into a juice and mixed it with some strange powder. Then, he held it to Lin Huanhuan’s mouth. “Drink this. You’ll feel better.”

The color of the medicine looked very strange, and the smell made one break out in a cold sweat.

Lin Huanhuan didn’t want to drink.

But Shuang Yun and Bai Di didn’t give her a chance to refuse. It was rare for them to work together. The two of them coaxed and cajoled Huanhuan, forcing her to drink her medicine.

The taste of the medicine was simply so bitter that Lin Huanhuan almost fainted.

Bai Di had to shove several sweet fruits into her mouth to help her suppress the bitterness.

Lang Zhu smiled and said, “From now on, drink a bowl every day for five consecutive days. You’ll be fine after that.”

She had to drink that for another five days?!

Lin Huanhuan’s face turned even paler.

She finally understood what Lang Zhu meant when he said, ‘suffer a little’.

How was this just suffering a little? This was a lot worse than that!

Lin Huanhuan recuperated at home for seven days.

For the past seven days, Bai Di and Shuang Yun would watch over her every day, afraid that she would disobey the witch doctor’s instructions and sneak out to play.

Lin Huanhuan was helpless. She was not a child. Why would she sneak out?!

After seven days, her period finally ended. The bloody smell on Lin Huanhuan’s body had completely disappeared.

The first thing she did when she got out of bed was boil water and wipe herself down.

As she was so strictly watched over for seven days, she couldn’t even get out of bed during that time. She ate and drank in bed. She had to eat a dozen red berries a day too.

She almost thought she wasn’t on her period but was paralyzed in bed with a terminal illness.

...

Jiu Yuan suddenly ran over. He, who was usually calm and composed, became especially excited.

“Mu Xiang is pregnant! It’s my child!”

Lin Huanhuan was pleasantly surprised. “Really? That’s great! Congratulations!”

Jiu Yuan asked sincerely, “Mu Xiang won’t be able to go out for a while. Can you go and chat with her whenever you’re free?”

“Of course!”

It was the first time Lin Huanhuan came into contact with a pregnant female. She was both curious and expectant.

She really didn’t know what a baby beast would look like!

She went to Mu Xiang’s house while accompanied by Bai Di.

The pregnant Mu Xiang looked no different from usual, except that her waist was slightly thicker and her figure had become plump and round.

As soon as she saw Huanhuan, she was overjoyed and hurriedly beckoned her to sit down.

Lin Huanhuan congratulated her.

Mu Xiang touched her stomach and smiled. “I’m already pregnant. You have to work hard too!”

Lin Huanhuan was a little embarrassed. “Let’s leave this to fate.”

Mu Xiang studied her expression carefully and suddenly asked, “Don’t tell me you haven’t mated with your mates yet?!”

Lin Huanhuan quickly covered her mouth. “Lower your voice!”

Bai Di and Jiu Yuan were not far away. What if they heard her? How embarrassing!
