Unable to endure the hardships of rural life, she returned home to arrange a marriage with a militar

In the dark residential compound, a warm yellow light shone from one of the houses. At night, all was quiet, save for the occasional bark of a dog and meow of a cat.

Shu Yun changed into her pajamas, draped Gu Jun's coat over her shoulders, and sat in front of the dressing table. She held a steaming bowl of brown sugar water in her hands and looked at Gu Jun bustling around the bed with an awkward expression.

Seeing that Gu Jun had changed the blood-stained sheets, Shu Yun lowered her head and sipped some brown sugar water. The sweet water flowed down her throat and warmed her lower abdomen, relieving the pain. However, Shu Yun was still listless. Her eyebrows drooped and her head hung low. She looked like a bullied little wife.

She said in a muffled, dejected voice, "I'm sorry."

If her period hadn't come so suddenly this time, she would have almost forgotten about it. Shu Yun hadn't had her period since she transmigrated, and in fact, in the original owner's memories, she hadn't had it for two months since her parents passed away, due to the double blow of emotional and physical distress.

Shu Yun guessed that it was due to insufficient nutrition, emotional distress, and catching a chill after falling into the water. She planned to go to the hospital for a check-up when she had some free time, but unexpectedly, her period came on its own today, on her wedding night. What a stroke of luck!

Gu Jun spread out the new sheets, then turned to look at Shu Yun, who was sitting obediently in the chair with her fair feet resting on the chair frame and slightly curled up. Gu Jun stepped forward, knelt down, and put slippers on Shu Yun, saying, "It's chilly at night."

Shu Yun's feet were icy cold. She was held in Gu Jun's hand like a tiny ball, her head drooping, making her look like a little white rabbit with drooping ears. She was all huddled up in a pitiful and adorable little ball.

The warm yellow light blurred Gu Jun's sharp features, softening them with tenderness and affection. He gently patted Shu Yun's head, "Are you feeling better?"

Shu Yun nodded. "Yes, I feel much better."

Gu Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her fair face finally regained color after drinking the brown sugar water.

In the darkness, Shu Yun's sudden voice startled him. When he turned on the light and saw that she looked terrible, his mind went completely blank. "It's good that you're alright."

He placed the empty enamel cup from Shu Yun's hand on the table, then swept her up in his arms. Shu Yun gasped and wrapped her arms around Gu Jun's neck.

Gu Jun: "It's too late, let's go to sleep."

Gu Jun reached out to turn on the light, but Shu Yun quickly peeked out from his arms and said, "It's best to soak the sheets in water today after you change them, and then apply some laundry detergent. Otherwise, the bloodstains will dry and be harder to wash tomorrow."

Shu Yun's face was flushed, and her big eyes looked at Gu Jun with an indescribable charm.

Gu Jun hugged her tighter, feeling how light Shu Yun was, so small and soft that he didn't dare to use too much force. "Okay, I'll go soak in some water, you go to sleep first."

Gu Jun placed her on the bed. When he held Shu Yun, he noticed that her hands and feet were very cold. Not feeling reassured, he tucked her in tightly with the blanket, leaving only her small head sticking out, before leaving the bedroom.

He soaked the sheets and clothes in water, then scrubbed the stained areas with laundry detergent before returning to bed.

Gu Jun turned off the light, and in the darkness, the two slept on opposite sides. Gu Jun went out for a while, and feeling cold, he didn't approach Shu Yun.

The room returned to silence, but after a moment a rustling sound came from the darkness. The sound was very faint, but in the quiet environment it was as clear as a small mouse gnawing on something.

Gu Jun reached out and gently patted Shu Yun's back. "Go to sleep."

Shu Yun: "Mm."

The room was quiet for a moment. Shu Yun tried to control her movements as gently as possible. She hadn't had her period for several months, and this time it seemed like she was making up for the missed period. The flow was very heavy, which made her lower back ache and it was very uncomfortable to maintain one position for a long time.

Shu Yun is currently wearing an old-fashioned menstrual belt. The one she is wearing now was hand-sewn by her original mother. It is made of cotton cloth in the shape of a strip, with two elastic bands in the middle to hold the toilet paper in place. There is a long rope at each end of the menstrual belt, which is used to tie around the waist to prevent the menstrual belt from falling off.

Although Shu Yun had tied the rope very securely, it was her first time using such a tool, and she was always afraid that it would fall off accidentally, so she moved very slowly.

Furthermore, the toilet paper that was applied to her private parts was very rough, and Shu Yun didn't find it very comfortable to use.

Gu Jun turned over to face Shu Yun, looking at the dark back of Shu Yun's head. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Shu Yun didn't want to trouble Gu Jun, "No, you go to sleep. I just have a little trouble sleeping, I'll be fine in a while."

After confirming that his body had warmed up, Gu Jun wrapped his long arm around him and pulled him into his arms from behind. His large hand gently stroked Shu Yun's lower abdomen through the thin fabric, massaging it softly.

Shu Yun struggled to leave, but Gu Jun held her tightly. "Don't move, go to sleep."

Despite saying she wasn't sleepy, Shu Yun felt a gentle, comfortable massage in the warm embrace. After a few minutes, her breathing became slow and even. Gu Jun massaged her stomach for a while, and seeing her sleeping peacefully in the moonlight, he leaned down and gently kissed her forehead. "Sweet dreams."

In the latter half of the night, Shu Yun slept very comfortably, feeling warm and at ease all over.

When Gu Jun woke up in the early morning, Shu Yun's entire face was buried in his chest, with only the dark back of her head showing.

Shu Yun's warm and soft body pressed tightly against Gu Jun's, and he could smell a faint fragrance on his nose. Gu Jun suddenly froze, his face turning red and then pale. He silently recited the quotes of the great man in his mind to suppress his random thoughts.

Gu Jun reached out and pulled Shu Yun away a little, but the Shu Yun in his dream was unusually domineering. She frowned and hugged him even tighter, her warm breath tickling his neck.

He stiffened, took several deep breaths, and finally calmed down. Looking down, he saw Shu Yun still rubbing her rosy cheeks against his chest, oblivious to the danger. He gently tugged at her cheek.

Shu Yun hummed in protest, her eyes tightly closed but her eyebrows furrowed. Gu Jun dared not bother her any longer, and sheepishly withdrew his hand, quietly getting up and leaving.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo." The rooster's loud crowing rang out again and again. Shu Yun closed her eyes and listened to the rooster's crowing as it approached from afar and then receded again, from the front of her courtyard gate to the back of the gate.

Is the rooster possessed? Knowing she wasn't up yet, it deliberately targeted her and kept tugging at her, making her lose her sleepiness. With her hair all messy, she suddenly sat up in bed.

Gu Jun's voice was no longer in the room. Shu Yun felt a surge of heat below her body. Without thinking of anything else, she grabbed some toilet paper, put on a piece of clothing, and rushed to the toilet.

Fortunately, she slept relatively well that night. Although the toilet paper was soaked, it didn't show. After changing to a new one, Shu Yun walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.

"You're up?" Gu Jun moved a small chair and sat down next to the hand pump, holding the clothes he had changed out of yesterday in his hand.

Shu Yun squinted, saw the clothes in his hands, and instantly sobered up. "Wait, I'll wash them myself." Before she could finish speaking, Gu Jun had already taken the clothes and rubbed them a few times, choking Shu Yun's words and making her blush.

Gu Jun looked at her. "What's wrong?"

Shu Yun glanced again at the underwear he was holding, and after groaning for a while, she finally managed to say, "I'm going to wash up first."
