Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu will come back and spend the night tonight.

After Shen Xingchen said this, Shen Li immediately understood.

She has her period.

He hadn't taken care of her for two years and almost forgot that she still had stomachaches, which lasted for several days every month.

He had taken her to see many doctors many years ago.

The doctor said it was due to my physical condition and that things would get better after I got married and had children.

Looking at the cup of water in Shen Xingchen's hand, Shen Li took it from her and said, "I'll go get you some water, you go back to bed."

"No need, uncle. I can do it myself."

In the end, Shen Li didn't listen to her and reached out to take the cup.

Seeing this, Shen Xingchen looked at her back for a long time, then went back to his room and sat down, holding his stomach.

Normally, she is quite good at controlling her diet. Even when she is not having her period, she won't eat raw, cold or icy food. So why does she still have a stomachache?

Sitting on the bed, Shen Xingchen felt pain in his abdomen and lower back again. He pressed his stomach and bent his waist.

When she put her hands on her belly, she found that her belly and waist were very cold. She kept her hands there for a long time, but the feeling of cold waist and belly did not get better, and her hands became colder.

She stuffed the pillow into her stomach and hugged it. After a while, Shen Li pushed open the door and came in. He cooked some brown sugar rice wine for her and filled a hot water bottle for her.

He remembered that in the past, when she had stomachache, she would cover it with a hot water bottle and the condition would get much better.

"Thank you, uncle." Shen Xingchen took the brown sugar rice wine and placed it on the bedside table, then took the hot water bottle and stuffed it into his stomach.

Seeing this, Shen Li pulled out a chair next to him and sat down opposite her.

He said: "Take a rest at home for two days before going back to school."

Shen Xingchen shook his head: "No, I still have several experiments to do and data to collect."

In fact, if Gong Xuan hadn't gotten married this time, she wouldn't have bothered to come back.

After all, during the previous two summer vacations, she asked her teacher to help her find a hospital internship, and she would only come back to celebrate the New Year during the winter vacation and the Spring Festival.

It wasn't that she was ungrateful or that she didn't want to repay the Shen family for raising her. It was because of Shen Li's rejection two years ago that she didn't know how to come back or how to face him.

Shen Xingchen also knew that it might be because she thought too much and cared too much.

But she just couldn't change her mind, there was nothing she could do.

But this time when they came back, the two of them spent more time together than the previous times.

Shen Xingchen said he was busy with studies, so Shen Li didn't force him.

Looking at the little girl who had grown into an adult, Shen Li wanted to talk to her, but Shen Xingchen seemed to have nothing to say to him.

She grew up, she really did.

She is no longer like she used to be, when she would excitedly tell him about any little thing happening in school.

"Uncle, Li Minghao from our class fell asleep during the agility class today. The teacher hit him on the head with a book. He thought it was his deskmate and threw all the teacher's books. The math teacher was so angry that his face turned pale."

"Uncle, Chen Xue said that her mother loves her brother but not her, and is always partial to her. Uncle, what do you think Chen Xue should do?"

"Uncle, our boys put a fake snake in my schoolbag today, but I wasn't scared at all. I threw it at them and they got scared."

Thinking back to the past, when he picked her up from school, she would always talk to him endlessly, even if a classmate farted in class, she would tell him. It was not an exaggeration at all.

But now, after two years of attending college on her own, she is completely speechless.

For a moment, Shen Li was filled with emotion.

If she had known this would happen, she would have said she wanted to go to the company for an internship during the summer after her college entrance examination, and he would have agreed to her request instead of pushing her to Nan Yan.

The past came flooding back to him. Shen Li had been looking at Shen Xingchen, but saw that she was holding her stomach and not looking at him, so Shen Li stood up from the chair.

He said, "Go to bed early."

"Yeah." Shen Xingchen: "Good night, uncle."

Shen Li closed the door and left. Shen Xingchen watched his disappearing back, but his eyes did not move away from the door.

She stared straight at the door, even forgetting the pain in her stomach. The only thing in her mind was Shen Li's back as he just left.

Lifting his legs, Shen Xingchen slowly curled himself up into a ball and sat on the bed.

She hugged her knees with both hands and slowly buried her head in her arms, feeling weak and empty in her heart.

After swallowing, she suddenly choked up and felt a pain in her chest.

Shen Xingchen didn't know whether it was because of the pain in his stomach or for some other reason.

That night, Shen Xingchen tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

It was late at night and she couldn't sleep and her stomach was aching, so she got out of bed with a hot water bottle.

When I got up from the bed, the bed was soaked with sweat. This is what happens every time I have my period and use a hot water bottle to cover myself.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the moon is also very round tonight.

Shen Xingchen stood in front of the window for a while. His stomach was really hurting, so he simply sat down at the desk and looked at the night view outside the window.

I remember when she first came to the Shen family, she was not very used to it. She always liked to look at the moon, as if her parents lived on the moon.

Whenever Shen Li found her looking at the moon, he would come over to accompany her. He would hold her in his arms and talk to her.

How happy she was at that time.

At that time, she could still sleep in his arms without restraint, and he wouldn't care even if she hugged him or kissed him on the face.

Later, as she grew up, Shen Li began to educate her and was not as close to her as before.

How nice it would be if she could always be a few years old, if she would never grow up.

After two years, Shen Xingchen has made it clear what her feelings towards Shen Li are. She only knows that when she sees him, she will feel flustered, guilty, inferior, and feel like she has nothing.

The heat in the hot water bottle gradually ran out, and Shen Xingchen took a breath in pain. She got down from the desk and took the hot water bottle downstairs to change the hot water.

As a result, just as she opened the door and walked to the door, she bumped into Shen Li again.

He just happened to come out of the room.

"Uncle." Shen Xingchen called Shen Li in surprise.

At this moment, she was not as unfamiliar as she was in the past two days. In addition, it was late at night and everyone was asleep, so people were not so cautious.

Shen Li was holding a water cup in his hand. Seeing Shen Xingchen holding a hot water bottle, he asked, "Are you still in pain and can't sleep?"

"Yeah." Shen Xingchen nodded quickly.

But in fact, she herself didn't know why she couldn't sleep.

Seeing this, Shen Li reached out and took her hot water bottle.

After a while, when he came up with the cup of water, Shen Xingchen's hot water bottle was also filled with new hot water.

Pushing open Shen Xingchen's door, Shen Xingchen was still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Hearing the noise at the door, Shen Xingchen turned around, then walked over and took the hot water bottle: "Thank you, uncle."

After Shen Xingchen thanked her, Shen Li looked out the window, looking at the place she had just looked at.

Seeing this, Shen Xingchen held the hot water bottle and said, "The moon is quite round tonight, and the wind is very gentle."
