Chapter 187: Chapter 187: A Foodie’s Tail Can’t Be Hidden
As Lu Xinyue spoke, she looked at Shen Nian and nodded, her expression showing a deep-seated hatred for the very words "menstrual cramps."
"Is it that painful every time?"
Shen Nian asked as she looked at Lu Xinyue. In her previous life, she had worked at a traditional Chinese medicine clinic and learned a great deal about its principles. Menstrual cramps were almost always caused by what was known as a "uterine cold." While it might not seem serious, it wasn’t something to be taken lightly.
Shen Nian had the Space Spirit Spring Water, and she was now practicing the Spiritual Energy Cultivation Method from her space. Her physical condition was being continuously improved, so she naturally didn’t have much to worry about.
Lu Xinyue, however, was a different story. It was one thing when Shen Nian hadn’t known about her problem, but now that she did, she couldn’t just ignore it.
Recently, Shen Nian had been reading through the medical texts her master had left in the space. One of them was about medicinal cuisine, and she recalled a recipe in it for treating a uterine cold. The effects were said to be excellent, so it was perfect for Lu Xinyue to try.
"Yes, Sister-in-law! It drives me crazy. I feel awful for several days every single month."
As Lu Xinyue spoke, she couldn’t help but pout, a look of pure misery on her face.
"Your cramps are from a uterine cold. I know a medicinal dish that can help with the symptoms. I’ll make some for you to try in a few days."
"Oh, yes!"
The moment Lu Xinyue heard Shen Nian was going to make something tasty, her eyes lit up. ’Even though it’s *medicinal* cuisine, it’s still *cuisine*! And since Sister-in-law is making it, it’s bound to be delicious!’
"Sister-in-law, you’re the best! You know I hate getting shots and taking medicine, so you’re making me medicinal cuisine instead. I love you to death!"
"There are Chinese herbs in medicinal cuisine, you know. How else would it be so effective?"
"I’m not scared, I’m not scared! If you’re making it, Sister-in-law, it’ll definitely be delicious, even with herbs in it!"
"..."
Shen Nian looked at Lu Xinyue with a resigned smile, finally letting out a laugh. ’This little sister-in-law of mine... she just can’t hide her love for food!’
"Oh, right! I almost forgot, I came to get you guys for dinner. Sister-in-law, are you feeling up to it now?"
"I’m fine."
As Shen Nian spoke, she started to get out of bed. She had been thoughtless, making the whole family wait for her for dinner.
"Don’t move. You just lie down and rest. I’ll bring your food up in a minute."
Lu Cheng, having just stepped out of the bathroom, saw Shen Nian trying to get up and immediately rushed over to stop her.
"There’s no need to go to all that trouble. I can go out and eat with everyone, I’m really fine now! Besides, it’s not good to stay in bed the whole time. As long as I don’t do any strenuous exercise, a bit of light walking is actually necessary."
’I have to make this clear to Lu Cheng,’ Shen Nian thought. ’Otherwise, every time I get my period, he’ll look like he’s facing a major crisis. If other people saw, they’d laugh their heads off!’
"Really?"
Lu Cheng frowned. ’Really? Sun Yufeng hadn’t mentioned that part when she told him about it.’
"Yes, really!"
Shen Nian nodded, then glanced at Lu Xinyue, signaling for her to back her up.
Lu Xinyue received Shen Nian’s signal for help and immediately nodded at Lu Cheng.
"That’s right, Big Brother. I’m a woman too, so I know. Just going out for a meal won’t hurt anything."
"Alright then. We’ll just go out for the meal."
"Okay."
’Phew, he finally gave in.’ Shen Nian decided that later, when she and Lu Cheng were alone, she absolutely had to explain things to him properly. Her physical condition was excellent now. Her period was no big deal, and he couldn’t keep treating her like a fragile doll.
Shen Nian had just gotten out of bed and was about to leave the room when she felt something warm settle on her shoulders. She turned her head to see Lu Cheng draping a jacket over her.
"You can’t get a chill. Keep this on."
