How could someone be unhappy living in a matriarchal society?

Chapter 14 Brown Sugar Ginger Water

Chu Ci waited outside the door for a while before she heard rustling sounds coming from inside.

Shi An clutched her stomach, took out a menstrual pad from the wardrobe and put it on, while also taking off her soiled pants.

After changing, he broke out in a cold sweat and almost collapsed.

Chu Ci waited anxiously outside and couldn't help but ask.

"Shi An, are you done? Can I come in?"

Shi An covered himself with the blanket and, after making sure everything was alright, answered softly.

"My lady, you may come in now."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci immediately pushed open the door and went to the bedside to inquire.

"How are you? Where does it hurt?"

The man buried half his face in the blanket, looking at her weakly.

"I...I have a stomachache."

"I'll take you to see a doctor," Chu Ci said, and then prepared to pick the man up.

Shi An was so frightened that she hurriedly refused and struggled fiercely.

"No, no need, no need to see a doctor."

Chu Ci frowned, "How can that be? You have to see a doctor when you're sick, don't be afraid."

"No, my lady, I, I'm not sick, I, I'm... having my period."

The more Shi An explained, the redder her face became.

"My lady, I really don't need to see a doctor."

"........."

Chu Ci looked puzzled. "Which one is that? It's not just an excuse you made up to avoid seeing a doctor, is it?"

"No, it's... it's what men get every month."

Shi An's voice grew softer and softer until she wished she could disappear into the ground.

So shameful.

It's too embarrassing to discuss this with my wife.

Chu Ci looked at the man who had buried his entire head under the covers and suddenly understood something.

In this world, men and women are reversed.

Men do menstruate (menstrual blood)!

"..."

Chu Ci was stunned for a moment before regaining his senses.

There's no other reason than that this event had a huge impact on her.

Men's menstrual blood comes out...

I've never seen anything like it before. This matriarchal world is truly amazing!

After not hearing any sound for a long time, Shi An secretly peeked out and stared intently at the woman who was in a daze.

What happened to the wife?

Why did you suddenly stop talking?

Could it be that she's disgusted with him?

It seems that men can't openly tell others about their menstrual cycle.

Shi An felt a pang of regret; she had acted too impulsively.

I should have just made up an excuse.

"I'm going to make some brown sugar ginger water. You wait here, this stuff can hurt like hell, so don't try to bear it."

"Hmm?" The woman's words interrupted Shi An's thoughts.

Brown sugar water…

I didn't expect her to know about this kind of thing.

Watching the woman's hurried departure, Shi An felt inexplicably at ease.

It shouldn't be that she dislikes him.

Chu Ci went to the kitchen and boiled a kettle of water, adding a lot of brown sugar and ginger slices to it.

To make boiling water easier, she bought a small stove specifically for brewing tea, which is perfect for making brown sugar water for Shi'an now.

The water was boiled in no time.

Chu Ci carefully carried it in, sat down by the bed, scooped up a spoonful of brown sugar water, gently blew on it until it was warm enough, and then fed it to Shi An.

Shi An leaned against her, blushing as she sipped water. For some reason, her stomach didn't seem to hurt as much as before.

His stomach gradually warmed up, and slowly his body warmed up as well.

It's much more comfortable than before.

Once he regained his strength, he thanked Chu Ci.

"Thank you for taking care of me, my wife."

Chu Ci smiled sincerely, "It's only right."

Shi An was infected by her smile and smiled along with her.

Upon seeing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but reach out and touch the corner of his eye.

"Shi An, you look so beautiful when you smile."

"!!"

The man was stunned for a few seconds, then his face turned bright red.

"Wife, mistress, please don't say that, it makes me shy."

"Really? But you look beautiful when you're shy."

"!!"

Shi An covered her face with her hands, not daring to look at anyone.

That woman, really!

Why do you always manage to stir his heart?!
