Chapter 155: It’s Not About the Amount at All
A quiet and lazy afternoon.
In the room, Lin Muxi was already asleep, curling up her small body and pressing herself tightly into her good bro’s arms, breathing softly and evenly.
This way of sleeping, full of safety, was her favorite position, and also why she always liked to sleep with him.
As for Mo Ziyang, he never dared to sleep because he was too worried about her health. His face even showed some tiredness.
To make Lin Muxi feel better, he had been gently rubbing her lower belly with his hand the whole time since she fell asleep, worried something might suddenly happen.
Until… Lin Muxi suddenly shivered in his arms. Her fair little face slowly showed pain. What was bound to come could not be avoided. The cramping pain in her lower belly finally arrived, making her break out in a cold sweat in her sleep and wake up suddenly.
“Hiss… it hurts, it hurts! So painful!”
“See, I told you not to eat so much. Now you’re happy?”
Facing her sudden reaction, Mo Ziyang wasn’t surprised. He just looked helpless, as if saying I knew this would happen.
“Don’t… don’t say that… quickly… is there anything… ahhh, it hurts so bad…”
Right now, Lin Muxi had no energy to argue back. She only wanted something, anything, that could make her belly feel better.
The cramps came in waves from her lower body. In just a short while, Lin Muxi was sweating all over, her vision getting blurry, and she was gasping for air on the bed.
At this moment, she finally regretted being greedy earlier. If she had known it would hurt this much, she wouldn’t have eaten so much… no, if she had known, she wouldn’t have begged her good bro to order all that food at all.
Now look, she not only made herself suffer, but also promised to help her good bro… really a double loss.
As she thought about this, another sharp pain came, so strong that tears started rolling down her cheeks.
“Mo… Mo Ziyang, wuu… it hurts so much… wuu wuu…”
She turned and grabbed his clothes, her face full of pain, her lips trembling as she spoke. Clearly, this time her period pain was much worse than last time.
“Sigh… look at you…”
Mo Ziyang had no other way. After all, this was his little wife. Seeing her so pitiful, how could he just ignore her?
But it was already too late to call the hotel restaurant for soup again. So, he got out of bed, fetched a cup of hot water, and took the ibuprofen that had been delivered with their meal earlier. Then he came back to where Lin Muxi was curled up on the bed.
He wasn’t sure if it would really help with the pain, but he had asked before and knew that many girls took this when the pain was too much. Right now, there was nothing else he could do. With a try-it-and-see attitude, he gently helped Lin Muxi sit up.
“Here, take some medicine.”
At this time, Lin Muxi was biting her lip, holding her belly tightly, struggling to endure the waves of cramps.
It felt like someone was punching her stomach again and again, making her want to roll on the ground just to cope.
“W-will this… really work?” Looking at the medicine in his hand, Lin Muxi raised her pale little face and asked softly.
“Don’t you trust your husband? Take it, and the pain will go away.”
“Mm…”
Seeing the gentle but firm look in Mo Ziyang’s eyes, Lin Muxi finally reached out her trembling little hand and slowly took the capsule he gave her. With a sip of hot water, she swallowed it down.
“After taking it, just rest again. It should feel better after a while.”
Mo Ziyang put the cup aside, covered his little wife with the blanket again, and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue.
Even in an air-conditioned room, the sweat showed just how much pain Lin Muxi had gone through. It made Mo Ziyang feel guilty in his heart.
At first, he thought it would only hurt a bit, but he never expected it would make his little fool suffer this badly. If he had known earlier, he never would have let Lin Muxi order all that seafood.
“Sigh… I’m sorry.”
Looking at Lin Muxi lying on the bed, eyes closed and breathing weakly, Mo Ziyang let out a sigh.
But to his surprise, after hearing his apology, Lin Muxi forced herself to bear the pain, slowly lifted her small body, and threw herself into his arms.
Seeing him blaming himself like this also made her heart ache. After all, it was her fault in the first place, yet now it was Mo Ziyang who was worrying so much.
“I’m sorry… next time I’ll listen to you.”
As she spoke, her soft body snuggled into his chest again, clearly telling him she wanted him to hold her tighter.
Of course, Mo Ziyang understood her little thoughts. So he reached out, hugged his little wife close, and let her lean against his warm chest.
“Still hurting?” he asked with concern, while gently rubbing her lower belly with his hand.
“Mm… still… uncomfortable…” Lin Muxi answered softly, her little voice weak and breathy.
It was obvious her body was very fragile right now, even speaking seemed hard for her.
“Now you know you were wrong? You even said you wanted to prove to your period who really controls your body. Look at you now, you’ve only made yourself suffer.”
“D-don’t say that… I know I was wrong…”
Hearing him bring up this embarrassing thing, Lin Muxi’s little face instantly turned red. She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers shyly.
This was way too embarrassing. Especially being teased by her good bro, if she could time travel, Lin Muxi really wished she could go back and give her greedy self a few slaps.
But luckily, as the medicine started to take effect, and with Mo Ziyang’s gentle hand rubbing her belly, the cramps slowly began to ease. It wasn’t completely gone, but at least it wasn’t making her feel like dying anymore. She could even sit up a little.
Mo Ziyang seemed to notice this too, and once again handed her a cup of hot water.
“Here, drink more hot water.”
“To be honest, I don’t think one cup of hot water helps much…”
Holding the cup slowly in her small hands, Lin Muxi complained softly, sounding a little helpless.
But then Mo Ziyang pointed to the door and said, “It’s okay, I already boiled a whole pot outside.”
“This is not about the amount at all!”
