"Second Uncle..."

She hugged Song Yansheng’s neck tightly, sobbing uncontrollably in his arms.

Song Yansheng held her slender body, asking her what was wrong, but Shi Nuan just cried without saying anything.

While continuing to comfort her, Song Yansheng was extremely anxious.

He felt Aunt Tong was too slow in calling for help.

He was about to pick Shi Nuan up and take her to the hospital himself when Shi Nuan cried out, "Second Uncle, don’t..."

Then Song Yansheng felt some stickiness between his fingers. As he opened his hand, he found traces of blood.

"Nuannuan, you..."

"Mr., I’ve already called Ms. Xu. She said she’s coming over right away..."

Shi Nuan frowned deeply, and Song Yansheng quickly picked her up to go outside. Aunt Tong was completely confused about what was happening.

Shi Nuan called out several times, but he didn’t respond.

At the staircase, Yu Yao came rushing from the prayer hall in the backyard. Seeing Song Yansheng hurriedly carrying Shi Nuan downstairs, she quickly asked what was going on.

Song Yansheng was just about to speak when Shi Nuan said, "Second Uncle, you... you can put me down, I’m fine!"

Song Yansheng continued to walk, "You’re bleeding, how can you be fine? Don’t speak..."

Song Yansheng was about to apologize to Yu Yao when Shi Nuan bit her lip and said, "Second Uncle, I... I’ve got my period!"

...

Shi Nuan indeed got her period.

But when she first saw the blood, she didn’t realize it.

She just thought of the child she lost, and her heart suddenly ached.

She couldn’t help it; she was profoundly sad.

She seemed to have fallen into a sort of seclusion, and though Song Yansheng called her, it seemed she could hear and yet not hear.

It was only when Song Yansheng kicked open the door that she was jolted awake.

Only then did she realize that the blood could be her period.

Shi Nuan couldn’t explain her earlier state of isolation; Qu Yuzuo suggested she might have lost some memories.

But how could someone lose memories without reason? At that time, she just felt she was a bit abnormal.

She hadn’t thought of treatment because she was afraid to face the things she shouldn’t face.

Even more frightened that the lost memories might hurt those she wished to cherish, such as Song Yansheng.

But now, her mental state was already beginning to affect her life, beyond her own control, she indeed seemed to need consultation.

Upstairs in the bedroom, Shi Nuan drank brown sugar tea and felt much better. Xu Ling encountered some situation on the way and arranged for another doctor to come.

Seeing Shi Nuan seemed fine, Song Yansheng told the doctor there was no need to come.

Shi Nuan didn’t come downstairs for lunch, and after Song Yansheng finished eating with Yu Yao, he went upstairs to find Shi Nuan.

At that moment, Shi Nuan had just drunk some porridge, leaning on the bed, lost in thought.

Song Yansheng walked in, came to the bedside, and reached out to hold her hand, saying, "This morning, you really scared me!"

Shi Nuan also felt guilty, but she didn’t want Song Yansheng to worry too much, so she lied, "I just... my stomach hurt a bit... I’m very afraid of pain!"

Song Yansheng didn’t believe it but didn’t want to expose Shi Nuan’s lie, just smiled lightly, saying, "Really? I didn’t know Nuannuan was afraid of pain!"

Shi Nuan pouted, "No one isn’t afraid of pain..."

This explanation might be far-fetched, so Shi Nuan pretended to explain, "Previously... didn’t I fall into the river once? Maybe because of that, I’ve become much more fragile, and when I saw the blood, I thought I’d... something had happened to me, so I got scared!"

"Something happened?" Song Yansheng frowned, "What do you think happened?"

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, "No matter what happened, but now I’m with Second Uncle and feel very happy, happy to the point that I start fearing death, fearing I might get into trouble — isn’t that a good thing?"

Song Yansheng looked at Shi Nuan, paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, it’s a good thing!"

Shi Nuan said, "So, Second Uncle, don’t ask anymore. Isn’t it just nice the way we are now?"

Some words, Shi Nuan didn’t say out loud, but Song Yansheng understood.

Song Yansheng indeed wanted a child, a child belonging to Shi Nuan and him.

But some things he doesn’t force, especially considering Shi Nuan’s current physical condition, really unsuitable for pregnancy.

Shi Nuan said she feared when she saw the blood, probably because she’s aware of her physical state.

This made Song Yansheng feel deeply guilty. Shi Nuan had been married to him for nearly half a year, but he seemingly hadn’t taken good care of her.

Otherwise, why would Shi Nuan still be so thin now? Even falling into water, getting injured multiple times...

Truly shouldn’t have happened, shouldn’t have happened at all.

"Nuannuan, don’t be afraid..."

He held Shi Nuan’s hand, speaking softly.

He said, "Don’t be afraid, to me, nothing is more important than you... truly, even if someone offered me the entire world in exchange for you, I wouldn’t trade!"
