Gu Yanzhi's body had always been in good shape, and she rarely suffered from menstrual cramps. This time, however, it might have been the continuous strain on her nerves combined with extreme cold exposure, plus she had eaten hotpot today, which likely led to the discomfort.
Song Zhao thought to himself and made a mental note: pay attention to staying warm and avoid getting chilled. Eat less spicy food, rest more.
Seeing Gu Yanzhi's pale face from the pain, he felt incredibly compassionate.
He filled two hot water bottles and placed them under Gu Yanzhi's feet. Then, he turned off the lights, climbed into bed, took Gu Yanzhi into his arms, and gently massaged her lower abdomen with his large hand.
Gu Yanzhi felt the warmth spreading from her belly, and the pain began to subside.
Gradually, her breathing became steady as she drifted off to sleep.
