Looking at everything decorated in the room, something seemed to hit Ning Anmiao's heart.
It was soft and warm.
She looked at the clumsy teddy bear and the balloon characters hanging on the wall. She sniffed, and her voice was a bit hoarse. "What are you doing all this for?"
"To make you happy." Lu Yan was inside the teddy bear suit. His voice was a bit muffled. "I saw you frowning all day today. I felt so heart - ache."
His tone was unusually gentle, mild and delicate.
Ning Anmiao was naturally shorter than Lu Yan. But now, with the teddy bear suit on, Lu Yan seemed much taller and even taller than Ning Anmiao.
He looked very reassuring.
"You... are so big." Ning Anmiao sniffed and tilted her head up. It took her a while to say this.
"Because there are inner height - increasing insoles in the teddy bear shoes." Lu Yan answered casually.
This sentence made Ning Anmiao burst out laughing through her tears. Tears even welled up in the corners of her eyes. "You don't have to be so honest."
It would be quite a joke if it got out that the great CEO Lu had to wear inner height - increasing insoles.
However, Lu Yan didn't really mind. He still said calmly, "If I'm taller, I can hold you."
After saying that, he opened his thick "bear paws" and before Ning Anmiao could react, he pulled her into his arms.
Ning Anmiao was forcibly embraced in a furry hug. Her face was rubbed ticklishly and warmly.
It made her feel inexplicably at ease.
"Why are you doing all this?" Ning Anmiao's heart was pounding uncontrollably. She looked up at the teddy bear.
Her voice was muffled, with a hint of grievance. "Aren't you still planning to get a divorce..."
"No more divorce." Lu Yan answered straightforwardly. "Miaomiao, didn't I tell you? I hope you can give me another chance."
"But I received a message from the lawyer about property division yesterday. Don't you still want to get a divorce?"
Ning Anmiao took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to ask the question that had been bothering her all day.
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment. He suddenly understood why Miaomiao had been cold - shouldering him all day.
Work pressure might be one reason, but more importantly, she must have received the lawyer's message and thought he was still planning for the divorce.
No wonder she was so angry.
"That was a task I assigned to the lawyer before. I forgot to tell him not to prepare anymore." Lu Yan answered calmly. "If you don't believe me, you can check my phone."
The chat records between him and the lawyer hadn't been deleted yet.
"Miaomiao, I'm very happy that you're angry about the property division for the divorce." Lu Yan's tone was calm, as emotionless as ever.
But judging from his words, he should be happy. "It means you care about me a lot and you don't want a divorce either, right?"
Hearing this, Ning Anmiao's earlobes quickly turned pink. Her cheeks felt inexplicably hot. She bit her lip and still stubbornly said, "I just think you didn't inform me in advance. I felt so passive."
He replied patiently, "Okay, okay, okay. Next time I make any decision, I'll report it to Mrs. Lu, okay?"
Ning Anmiao was stunned.
Recently, she had frequently heard Lu Yan call her "Mrs. Lu". It made her heart as sweet as if it was coated with honey.
She was increasingly aware that the current Lu Yan was much gentler and cared about her more than before.
"Will you report everything to me?"
"Yeah, as long as you don't find it troublesome."
Getting the answer she wanted, Ning Anmiao was satisfied and hugged the teddy bear even tighter.
At this moment, they were just like a loving couple.
...
They hugged for a long time. Finally, Ning Anmiao reluctantly let go and took a few steps back. "It's getting late. Take off the teddy bear suit quickly. It's time to go to bed."
Seeing her satisfied look, Lu Yan slightly curved his lips. "Okay, let's go to bed."
He first took off the headgear, then unzipped the back of the suit and slowly "peeled" himself out of the teddy bear.
After that, he slowly bent down and was about to pick up the teddy bear suit and put it aside when he suddenly felt something was wrong with his body.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to feel a gushing sensation gradually spreading onto his pants.
Before he could look down, Ning Anmiao suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my god, you're on your period!"
Lu Yan:?
He stared blankly down at the large blood - red stain on his light - colored pants. He was stunned for a moment.
Per... period?
His perfectly precise robot - like brain crashed at this moment.
...
Later, Ning Anmiao, while trying hard not to laugh, told him to change his soiled pants, taught him how to use sanitary pads, and told him not to exercise strenuously during this period, otherwise, there would be a tragic scene like the one just now with "blood splashing on the spot".
"Do you have any other questions?" Ning Anmiao asked seriously while holding back her laughter.
"No."
After learning this whole set of knowledge, Lu Yan pursed his lips into a straight line and was silent for a while.
It had been almost a month since he and Ning Anmiao swapped bodies. Apart from the physical strength gap, Lu Yan hadn't found anything inconvenient.
But when it came to this moment of having a period, he suddenly felt it was very inconvenient.
But what could he do? Since he was now in Ning Anmiao's body, he naturally had to take good care of this special "guest" that came once a month.
He thought that would be enough, but at night, he encountered another painful and hard - to - talk - about situation.
That was - dysmenorrhea.
Lying in bed, he gritted his teeth and felt the occasional downward pulling sensation in his lower abdomen. From time to time, there was also an urge for a hot stream to gush out. He endured it so much that beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
The occasional sharp pain also tortured him repeatedly, making it impossible for him to sleep well.
In order not to wake up Ning Anmiao who was sleeping beside him, he tried to turn over as slightly as possible and not make too much noise.
Just as he turned over for the third time, Ning Anmiao suddenly turned on the night - light.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and stubbornly said, "No, I'm just not used to it."
Ning Anmiao glanced at him, got out of the bedroom, and after a few minutes, she came back into the room with a cup in her hand.
A cup of steaming red - date brown - sugar water was stuffed into Lu Yan's hand by Ning Anmiao.
"Drink it while it's hot. You'll feel better."
Lu Yan looked down at the dark, sticky stuff in the cup. He frowned slightly but still drank it.
After drinking it, he really felt much better in his lower abdomen. The sharp pain just now wasn't so intense.
He stared blankly at the cup for a long time until Ning Anmiao took it away and asked him softly, "Do you feel better?"
