Jiang Xueli returned home with the medicine she had bought. Her parents weren't off for the National Day holiday, so she was home alone again today.
She saw the note and allowance her mom had left on the coffee table.
Just like any other day, she dropped her schoolbag, intending to head straight for the shower the moment she got home.
Zhengran was coming over soon, but the pain in her abdomen left her with no desire to shower.
She stood at the bathroom door, hesitating for a moment.
Staring at her reflection in the mirror, her willpower finally won out over the pain. 'I should just take a shower. I'll smell nicer and look a little better afterward. After all, any time I get to spend alone with him is precious.'
'Besides, it's just cramps. A shower shouldn't be a problem.' Reassuring herself, she heated some water and first took the painkillers the doctor had prescribed before heading to the bathroom.
