The next day, Xiao Qin still didn't come to school.
Why isn't she coming? Wasn't she jumping and jumping around on the phone yesterday? Could it be that she was in pain, but because I called, she's forcing herself to be energetic?
At noon, when I was watching the basketball team practice, I noticed the school doctor, Chen YingRan, was also standing in the crowd with great interest.
Her line of sight was not following the basketball, but she was looking through the gaps between the basketball vest and shorts, and she was swallowing her saliva while looking.
I was angry that she was looking at my brothers on the basketball team, so I ran over to block her line of sight. I asked her what was going on with Xiao Qin and why she didn't come to school for so many days when she had her period.
Chen YingRan signaled me to move out of the way, and casually told me:
"Xiao Qin's situation belongs to the type of period cramps, and it's a pretty serious one. Once it starts, she won't be able to get out of bed for three to five days, so I suggest she rest for a week. She should be able to come to school next week."
The first time I knew about period cramps was because I watched Miyazaki Hayao's anime film "Hear the Sound of the Waves" (I was tricked, I thought it would have fighting scenes like "Princess Mononoke"). The female protagonist was usually healthy, but when she had period cramps, she would faint from the pain. It really scared me, and I was secretly glad that I was a boy.
But now the demon of period cramps has found Xiao Qin? Does the originally cold and unrestrained Little Tyrant who bullied me all year round now have to be tormented by period cramps every month?
Should I cheer for karma, or should I feel sorry for Xiao Qin?
Seeing my depressed expression, Chen YingRan's face changed into a playful expression.
"What? You're lonely after not seeing your girlfriend for a few days? If you can't handle it, you can come find me! Your sister is very concerned about the physical and mental health of male students! "
"Are you not going to care about female students?" I questioned her angrily. "Xiao Qin stayed in the infirmary for an entire afternoon, did you not think of a way to relieve her pain?"
Chen YingRan spread her hands and made a helpless expression.
"I'm an andrologist, gynecology isn't my specialty. Also, there's no specific medicine for period cramps, you can only take painkillers and recuperate."
"Recuperate? Recuperate how? "
"Eh? I didn't expect you to be so concerned about your girlfriend! The usual way to recuperate was to eat some food that could promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and pay attention to keeping warm during the period. However, the reason why some people experience menstrual pain and others don't is mainly determined by family inheritance. "
"But, but Xiao Qin's mother doesn't seem to have this problem!"
I remember when Auntie Ren was a martial arts director for the movie "Chu Liu Xiang's Blood Sea and Wild Sand", she shot scenes near the Taklamakan Desert and didn't rest a single day for four months. She was called an iron lady and a female model worker. If she was in so much pain that she couldn't get out of bed, she wouldn't be able to be a model worker even if she wanted to.
Chen YingRan glanced at me as if to say, "How did you investigate her mother so thoroughly?" Then she answered my question:
"If it's not hereditary, then there's a high chance that she caught a cold during her first period, which led to the illness. These little girls just don't know how to take care of themselves. Since you've discovered that you're showing signs of menarche, don't eat ice cream! "
Why did Xiao Qin tell you she had menstrual pain because she ate ice cream? But as far as I know, she hasn't eaten any ice cream recently. If I think about it carefully, Xiao Qin has been paying attention to keeping warm recently.
For example, when I went to her house to fix her computer, she turned the air conditioner up to the max. Even if she wore a T-shirt and a skirt to tease me, she didn't forget to wear a pair of thick socks.
There's no way Xiao Qin caught a cold because she didn't pay attention to keeping warm. Ever since she appeared in front of me as a girl, I noticed that she was abnormally afraid of the cold. She even wanted to bring a heater with her to keep warm.
Is it because of me? She once stood on a cold street waiting for me to go to school together. She was punished twice for being late (both times were related to me). Recently, she clearly said that her abdomen was in pain, but I still forced her to go out and buy roasted sweet potatoes for me …
Was it because of me that Xiao Qin would have to roll around in bed because of menstrual cramps for at least three days a month?
But, but I never thought about getting revenge on her. Even if the Little Tyrant punches and kicks me, I still have ways to escape. But menstrual cramps, because the source is in my body, I can't escape!
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Chen YingRan became impatient when I didn't speak for a long time. "If there's nothing else, then don't block my view."
I fell into a low mood and moved away from Chen YingRan without saying a word.
Brothers on the basketball team, I'm sorry. I can't continue to stop the school doctor from looking at you.
Chen YingRan saw that I suddenly lost my energy and couldn't help but sigh. She comforted me:
"You don't have to worry about your girlfriend. I'm guessing it's because her cervix is a bit narrow. She won't have menstrual pain after giving birth … "
Chen YingRan's tone suddenly became stern.
"Although menstrual pain is hard to love, you guys can't really have a child because of it."
Her voice was very loud and it made the nearby girls (mainly Shen ShaoYi's support group) turn around and look at me.
I quickly ran away before Chen YingRan said more sensational things and caused the girls to spread rumors.
Nothing noteworthy happened on Wednesday and Thursday.
I later called Xiao Qin's home, but no one picked up. I'm not sure if Xiao Qin was angry at me and purposely didn't pick up, or if there was no one at home.
Although I thought about whether or not I should pay a visit since I was partly responsible for Xiao Qin's situation, I dispelled the idea when I thought I might bump into Auntie Ren.
If Xiao Qin was home alone, I could reluctantly and confusedly express my apologies. But if Auntie Ren was also present, how should I solemnly apologize?
Should I say, "Although Xiao Qin has menstrual pain because of me, it's not a terminal illness. She'll probably recover once she gives birth to a child."
Even if Auntie Ren doesn't beat me to death, I would still die of embarrassment.
He suddenly remembered that a few days ago, when he was having dinner, his father was reading Ningjiang Daily while eating Tangyuan. There was a very large article in the newspaper about the unfair treatment that female graduates suffered. The general idea was that, under the same conditions, employers would give priority to hiring men because women had problems such as pregnancy, which could greatly affect their work.
I immediately thought of the distant future. The class leader's future ambition was to become a criminal police officer, what would Xiao Qin's ambition be? If she wanted to be a stepmother and become a martial arts director like Auntie Ren, let's not even talk about whether or not her androphobia would be cured. In the film industry where every second counts, just the menstrual pain and forced rest every month would completely ruin her career as a martial arts director.
Would she have to work at a company like most people? Would the ruthless capitalist boss treat Xiao Qin differently because she had to take leave every month, or even fire her after her probation period?
Eh? How did all of this become my responsibility! I didn't do it on purpose! If Xiao Qin is unhappy for the rest of her life because of this, how can I sleep at night!
Wait! What am I thinking! Why do I have to consider Xiao Qin's happiness? I'm not her boyfriend, nor am I her relative. At most, I'm a childhood friend who was bullied by her for many years!
Do I have to take responsibility to marry her, have children with her, and then work to support the family so she can rest well just because I inadvertently caused her menstrual pain?
Why do I have to have such a strong sense of responsibility! Then wouldn't Xiao Qin really have to bully me for the rest of my life!
I still have to pursue my dreams, my freedom, and continue to be a Spartan!
No! I can't let Xiao Qin ruin my life! I've already seen enough from my dad's sad face what happens to dedicated men! I want to be unfaithful, I want to cheat, I want to open a harem, I want to be a scum!
But no matter what, I can't convince myself that Xiao Qin's future has nothing to do with me.
There's no other way, let's assume that Xiao Qin was seriously injured by me. This type of injury can only be healed after she gives birth. At most, I'll compensate her for all her financial losses.
It's a bit shameful. Let's not talk about compensation, I still owe Xiao Qin the several thousand yuan she earned from copying the bible.
Should I find a time when Auntie Ren isn't home and buy some supplements to visit Xiao Qin?
Don't misunderstand, I'm only treating her as an opponent that I injured in a fight and doing my best.
I won't take responsibility until the end.
