"Eat it, the farr just cut it from the mountain, you can tell it’s fresh. Moreover, this year’s sunshine is abundant, so the lon must be sweet. However, they said this is probably the last batch of waterlons this year. It’s also because the weather is a bit better this year that there are still lons now. If it were like previous years, we wouldn’t be able to eat fresh lons at this ti. But, this is taken from the fridge, so you should eat less, madam. If I rember correctly, your period is around these days, right?" Xi Ma said with a smile, "So, madam, please don’t be greedy. Eating too much, it’s too cold, and it’s not good for your health."
Ding Jinshi originally reached out with a smile to get the waterlon, but upon hearing Xi Ma’s words, she was instantly stunned.
She couldn’t rember how long it had been since her last period.
Before getting married, she took dication, and since then her nstrual cycle has been irregular. Her previous cycle timings were completely disrupted, and as ti passed, she didn’t rember her schedule anymore. But Xi Ma’s ntion suddenly made Ding Jinshi realize — was her last period a month ago, or two months ago? Or perhaps, three months ago?
"Madam, what’s wrong?" Ding Jinshi’s expression caught Xi Ma’s attention. Seeing Ding Jinshi’s gloomy face, she couldn’t help but worry if Ding Jinshi was feeling unwell, so she asked, "Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Only then did Ding Jinshi shake her head, took the waterlon, and ate the cold waterlon one bite at a ti, feeling worried inside.
After eating waterlon, because she was hiding concern in her heart, Ding Jinshi barely ate a bite for dinner before going upstairs. She took a bath and lay on the bed, tossing and turning in worry.
At night, Ding Long ca ho after ten, and Xi Ma was still not resting. Ding Long went inside and greeted, "Xi Ma, why are you still not resting so late? You’re getting older, if there’s nothing going on at ho, you should rest early. If there’s anything else, you can just wait until tomorrow morning to do it. Anyway, there’s not much going on in the house."
"Well, sir, it’s okay. I just wanted to cook so midnight snack for madam to eat. Madam didn’t eat much in the evening. Now that sir is back, we can eat together." Xi Ma responded with a cheerful smile, genuinely pleased. Although her relationship with the Ding Family was that of an employer and nanny, receiving kind words from the employer was comforting for an elderly person like her. She knew she was lucky to have t such good owners.
"Is she unwell?" Ding Long showed a concerned look upon hearing this. Xi Ma’s cooking was excellent, very much to Ding Jinshi’s taste. Ding Jinshi didn’t have many friends, and besides going out to eat with Zhou Chenyue, she liked to co ho every day to enjoy Xi Ma’s food and chat with her.
"I couldn’t see where she was unwell." Xi Ma thought for a mont, then recounted the conversation between her and Ding Jinshi from earlier, leaving out the part where Ding Jinshi told Ding Long not to bother reporting his schedule. Then she added, "Could it be the hot weather, and she’s in that ti of the month, so she’s a bit temperantal?"
Ding Long shook his head; Ding Jinshi was his wife, and he was well-aware of whether she had her period.
"I’ll go up and have a look." Ding Long walked up, opened the door, and saw Ding Jinshi standing by the window in a daze, not noticing he had co in.
