Chapter 1361: Her Periods Have Always Been Irregular

“Uh… is it over yet?” he asked with a slightly embarrassed smile.

He Xiyan paused for a moment and blinked up at him in confusion.

“I meant…your period,” he added.

She was mortified.

Her face turned as red as a lobster and she bit her lips before she gently shook her head.

Her periods have always been irregular. They would sometimes come once in two or three months and each time, they would last more than 10 days. Sometimes, her period would come twice in a month lasting two or three days. It was extremely irregular.

Her last period was probably toward the end of September. It was three months since her last period so she guessed that it would probably last one or two weeks again this time. Each time it happened, her flow wasn’t very heavy but it just wouldn’t stop.

She had consulted a doctor in the past and the doctor advised her to rest more and not be too stressed by work and life. He prescribed her some traditional Chinese medicine and told her that she will improve if her condition was treated over time.

She thought that it was because she had been under extreme stress over the past few years. She had been very stressed over her studies in the past, and now, she was stressed by work and the stresses of life, so this aggravated her problem.

Mo Yixuan let out a long sigh and tried his best to control his primal urges.

He was a healthy man in his twenties, so this was when his primal urges were at their peak.

It was torturous for him to be able to hold her but not touch her.

He felt extremely uncomfortable.

He Xiyan pursed her lips in embarrassment. She could tell that he was struggling to control himself just as he had done before.

She stretched out her right hand and her trembling fingers slowly closed over a part of him. She realized that he was indeed…

“Shall I…” she started but she was too embarrassed to complete her sentence.

This was how she had helped him the previous time.

Mo Yixuan frowned slightly and he paused for several seconds before he said, “I’m fine.”

Then, he took her hand in his and intertwined their fingers.

“Yan Yan, would you be heading home over the winter holidays?” he asked.

Their university would break for the winter holidays in a week’s time.

She pursed her lips because she had not even stopped to consider this question.

She was always thinking about either him, work, or her studies.

She spent some time thinking about it and didn’t give him an immediate answer.

“If you’re not heading back for the winter holidays, why don’t you move into this apartment? I’ll be staying here as well. I might be caught up with work as we’re approaching the year-end period, so I’ll be at the company during the day and only be able to come back at night,” he added.

He knew that she didn’t have parents or siblings so there was probably no need for her to return to her hometown over the new year. Naturally, he would spend the new year at home.

She frowned and finally nodded after some time.

She would be alone if she went back over the winter holidays and she would also spend the new year alone, so there was no issue in staying over at his apartment.

“Do you have to visit relatives over the new year?” he asked.

He knew very little about her.

She shook her head and immediately replied, “No.”

She used to go to her uncle’s house toward the end of the year each time and the only reason why she paid her uncle’s house annual visits was to try to get him to return the money that he owed her mother.

After the incident last year, she didn’t want to go back. She didn’t even want to look at their faces.

She was sure that she wouldn’t be able to get the money that had been loaned to her uncle.

“Alright then. You may come over to stay with me over the new year,” he said with a smile.
