Translator: 549690339
Surprise flickered in Tong Sanlang’s eyes as he quickly extended his arm, catching Qiao Xiaomai right before she hit the ground.
A delicate fragrance reached him. It slled pleasant.
Qiao Xiaomai’s loose hair brushed against his cheek, tickling him.
However, seeing the sweat on Qiao Xiaomai’s forehead, his eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. He quickly dismissed any other thoughts from his mind, “Miss Qiao, let take you to Doctor Wu.”
In a village as big as Anping Village, there naturally existed a doctor, and his residence wasn’t far from the Tong Family’s place.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai quickly reached out to grasp Tong Sanlang’s arm, gritting her teeth and saying, “No.”
Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, not daring to look at Tong Sanlang’s handso face that was so close. She quickly blurted out, “I…I’m having my period. Go and hitch the cart and take ho.”
Since the situation was already so embarrassing, there was no way she could dodge it any longer.
So, she just decided to bite the bullet, closing her eyes and making her request.
As for how Tong Sanlang would view her, it didn’t matter.
Previously, because of the Sun Family’s nonsensical talk, she and Tong Sanlang had already felt awkward towards each other. Now, adding a bit more awkwardness didn’t matter.
Tong Sanlang stayed silent for a mont, his expression calm, but he was rendered speechless on the inside.
Considering Qiao Xiaomai’s ability to conjure things out of thin air, should she really fear this minor monthly cycle?
With doubt in his heart, he bent down, stretched out his long arm, and scooped Qiao Xiaomai into his arms. “I’ll carry you ho, alright?”
The speed of the ox cart was not any faster than walking.
Additionally, if she returned ho now, people at ho would surely bombard her with questions. Given how nonchalantly Qiao Xiaomai was treating what seed like her impending death, she definitely didn’t want others to know about this.
As for how many people would see them on the way…
Well, with his grandpa holding the fort, no one dared to gossip openly.
Also, considering Qiao Xiaomai’s capabilities, she probably wouldn’t care about her reputation.
After all, the virtuous can silence slanders.
Qiao Xiaomai would have broken into tears had she known what Tong Sanlang was thinking.
What abilities did she have? She just had a space!
And she was really conscious about her reputation since it would affect her business!
However, at this mont she didn’t know what Tong Sanlang was thinking. The severe pain had left her mind in a haze, so she allowed Tong Sanlang to pick her up without any resistance. Without thinking, she rely said, “Let’s go-”
Such an embarrassing situation, she didn’t want the Tong family to know.
As for whether people would misunderstand her relationship with Tong Sanlang, she couldn’t care about that now. Having lived twice, this was the first ti she experienced such excruciating pain. She just wanted to go ho, lie in bed, and drink so brown sugar water.
So, Tong Sanlang really carried Qiao Xiaomai all the way back to the Qiao Family’s house.
Since it wasn’t the busy farming season, everyone was out in the fields weeding. The only people who saw them on the street were children playing and old people sunbathing.
When they encountered children, he walked straight on. When they t old people, he greeted them and explained: Qiao Xiaomai suddenly fainted, so he had to take her ho.
anwhile, Qiao Xiaomai buried her face in his chest, her eyes shut and saying nothing.
She didn’t feel anything, didn’t know anything!
They quickly reached the Qiao Family’s house. He kicked open the door and called out, “Uncle Changshun, Dami, 1 need so hot water.”
Qiao Changshun was busy with the stove, and Qiao Dami was cleaning the hen house. They both jumped when they saw him carrying Qiao Xiaomai in.
“What happened?!”
“She’s having her periods. Uncle Changshun, get her a bowl of hot soybean milk.” Tong Sanlang glanced at the pot, gave an order, and then carried Qiao Xiaomai into her room.
Qiao Xiaomai’s room was very simple, with a bed, desk, and a wooden box. The rest of the spaces were filled with bean sprout boxes.
Tong Sanlang didn’t glance around, but placed Qiao Xiaomai on the bed.
Qiao Xiaomai rubbed her feet together, took off her shoes, pulled the blanket over her and covered herself.
Her movents were very swift.
With her muffled voice coming through the blanket, she said, “Thank you, Sanlang.”
From now on, we really shouldn’t see each other anymore…
This is so embarrassing!
