Lin Jin, who had no choice, finally pulled the quilt down from her head. Her face was flushed as she tried to maintain a calm expression. Her gaze was somewhat evasive, but she asked in the same tone as usual, "What's up?"

"Uh, sanitary pad." Xiao Ling pointed to the sanitary pad on the bedside table. "I bought it for you."

Lin Jin didn't know what to say. She lowered her head, using her slightly long bangs to cover her eyes, attempting to prevent them from seeing her evasive gaze.

Wen Xuan pulled over a nearby chair and sat down. He asked directly, "You're not really a girl, are you? Can you take off your pants and show me?"

"Get lost!" Lin Jin's face turned red as she tightly bit her lip. "If you're not busy, go back to the dorm and bring me a pair of pants."

"Yes, yes, yes." Wen Xuan scratched his own hair and muttered, "Lin Jin is actually a woman" as he walked out of the clinic.

"Then should I go first?" Xiao Ling asked tentatively. He and Lin Jin were not familiar with each other, so he felt uneasy in the medical room and didn't know what he should do.

"Don't tell anyone..." Lin Jin turned her head slightly and, facing an empty direction, tremblingly said, "If you tell someone, I will take a knife and stab you to death at night."

"I know, our mouths aren't that big to go around talking nonsense everywhere."

Xiao Ling glanced at Wu Min, shrugged, "We hid a girl in the boys' dormitory, and we've been hiding her for three or four months. If it gets out, you'll probably become a celebrity in school."

Celebrity? Although the system requires oneself to enhance their fame in school, surely what is needed is not this kind of negative attention.

Lin Jin forced a smile and remained silent.

Wu Min actually wanted to ask Lin Jin why she dressed as a man and entered the boys' dormitory. However, looking at Lin Jin's flushed face and helpless expression, he felt that there must be a reason behind it. So he didn't ask, fearing that the reason might touch on Lin Jin's sadness or privacy.

"I'll stay here with you, okay? Xiao Ling can go back first?"

Wu Min handed the bowl of brown sugar water on the table to Lin Jin. The water that was boiling hot just earlier was now only warm.

"Drink more."

"Ok." Lin Jin took the cup, lowered her head, and dared not look into their eyes, afraid of encountering those strange, bizarre gazes.

"Then I'll leave first." Xiao Ling waved his hand and turned around without hesitation, leaving.

The atmosphere in the medical room instantly became even more awkward. The two of them remained silent, each busy with their own tasks. The room was so quiet that the ticking of the wall clock could be heard.

"That..." Wu Min asked with some embarrassment, "Will you still live in the dormitory in the future?"

"Otherwise? Where would I live..." Lin Jin pursed her lips. She disliked this kind of atmosphere, even though she and Wu Min were best friends, it suddenly felt like their relationship had become distant, like familiar strangers.

"Um, so in your daily life... um... when do you usually have your period?" Wu Min tried to maintain a relaxed demeanor, as if chatting with Lin Jin as usual, but his mouth kept getting tied up. "In that case, Wen Xuan and I can try to take care of you as much as possible."

Is it these few days?

Lin Jin is not very certain about her menstrual cycle, but it's just a week. After a week passes, she can bid farewell to the bothersome things like her period.

Wu Min frowned, clasping his hands together, occasionally rubbing his knuckles anxiously as he asked, "Um, um, take care of yourself these next few days, don't be like today."

"I know."

Lin Jin lowered her head, feeling somewhat restless. Fortunately, at that moment, Wen Xuan pushed open the door, panting heavily, and walked in carrying a plastic bag. As soon as he entered, he sensed the awkward atmosphere in the clinic and immediately grew quieter. He placed the plastic bag next to Lin Jin's bed.

"I'm going back too?" Wen Xuan, when feeling awkward, always liked to touch his own hair. He stood by Lin Jin's bed, forcing a faint smile.

"Go."

Lin Jin sighed softly, knowing that her relationship with her two roommates was now completely ruined. She used to be best friends with Wu Min and considered Wen Xuan a good friend. But after today, she feared they would be cautious in everything, even if her body returned to normal after a week.

The doctor poked her head in from the corridor. She saw Wen Xuan approaching her and stepped aside slightly to create some space for him to pass. Then she asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Lin Jin finally managed to gather herself a bit, raising her head with a smile and asking the doctor, "When can I go back?"

"You can go back now. Remember not to touch cold water or drink ice water these few days." Also, the doctor picked up the medicine on her desk, wrapped in white paper, "This is fever-reducing medicine. Take it three times a day, and the fever should subside in about a day."

Wu Min took the initiative to step forward, took the medicine, and nodded gratefully at the doctor.

"Well, let's leave now and not disturb the doctor."

Lin Jin nodded towards the doctor, picked up a sanitary napkin and a plastic bag, took her feet off the bed and placed them on the ground. She tried to get up with a little effort, but her weak legs made her fall back down. Wu Min immediately noticed Lin Jin's discomfort. He walked up, hesitated for a moment, and gently slid his hands under Lin Jin's armpits, lifting her up entirely.

"If there's still any discomfort, come find me."

"Okay."

With Wu Min's support, Lin Jin arrived outside a nearby restroom. She looked up and glanced at the signs on the two restroom doors, took a deep breath, and then walked into the men's restroom as usual.

Wu Min stood outside the door with crossed arms, waiting. Suddenly, he remembered that he used to often go to the restroom with Lin Jin on the way to class. It seemed like Lin Jin would always go into a separate stall even if it was just to wash his hands. This wasn't a big issue, but doesn't it mean that Lin Jin has seen his private parts?

The mind was in chaos, and Wu Min finally saw Lin Jin, who walked out of the bathroom looking a bit awkward.

"What's wrong?" With a dry cough, Wu Min immediately threw all the messy things out of his mind.

"No, it's a bit uncomfortable…"

The sanitary pad is stuck in my underwear and it feels really uncomfortable... Could it be that I'm not using the sanitary pad correctly?

The corners of Lin Jin's mouth involuntarily twitched as she casually tossed the pants stained with menstrual blood into the nearby trash can.

"Where does it hurt? Should I go back and find a doctor?" However, Wu Min misunderstood Lin Jin's words and immediately helped her up.

"No need…"

Lin Jin just wants to go back and get a good night's sleep, pass through this damn day, and then prepare well for the New Year's party.

A bunch of messy things, but at least the weekly tasks have been completed, right? Although it was done under forced circumstances and falling into a trap.

She took out her phone, glanced at the words indicating completion of the task on it, feeling utterly helpless in my heart.

I don't feel too good being controlled by a cat.
