Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

He glanced down and saw that it was a package. At first, he did not think much of it and bent over to pick it up when he suddenly realized it was somewhat familiar—it was none other than the package Ji'er had dropped in front of him that afternoon.

He picked it up, intending to put it back in the wardrobe.

However, when he recalled Ji'er's flustered and anxious behavior that afternoon, he could not help feeling curious.

What was inside this package?

Why had Ji'er been so red and nervous?

He pursed his lips and deliberated the matter for a moment. In the end, he decided to open it.

He had only intended to see what was inside, but the instant he opened the package, he was greeted by a strange fragrance that wafted right up his nostrils.

He wrinkled his brow. What kind of fragrance was that? Why was it so strong and peculiar?

Suspicion flashed through his heart, but it soon disappeared when he realized that it was a pile of medicinal powder. After rewrapping the package, he put it back in the wardrobe.

Remembering that Ji'er was still waiting for him in his room, he closed the wardrobe and left briskly.

Ji'er was standing in Chu Qi's room, not daring to budge a single inch.

Vexation was written all over her face.

How could she have forgotten that her period was coming and let Lil Qi catch her in such an embarrassing state?

Would he think she was too improper and unkempt?

She drew a long face.

When Chu Qi returned, the first thing he saw was the Third Princess's tearful expression.

With a smile in his eyes, he approached her and handed her the bundle of clothes. "Go and get changed."

"All right," Ji'er replied and took them. She wanted to say something more, but he had already turned away from her, fetched some clean blankets, walked over to the bed, and started changing out the dirty linen.

Ji'er glanced sheepishly at the dirty blankets that he had removed.

She had had some reservations about it at first, but they now vanished from her mind as she walked behind the folding screen and slipped off her dress.

After changing out the dirty linen, Lil Qi turned around, only to catch sight of her slender silhouette behind the folding screen.

The unexpected sight immediately brought a blush to his handsome face, and his heart pounded so erratically he felt as if it was going to jump out of his chest.

Coming to his senses, he averted his gaze swiftly. However, the scene he had just witnessed kept flashing through his mind.

His eyes darkened.

Just then, Ji'er popped her head out from behind the folding screen and called out shyly, "Lil Qi…"

The girl's voice was soft and sweet, and she sounded as if she was whining adorably when she stretched out the last syllable of his name.

Chu Qi instantly felt a layer of heat engulf his body.

"Yes?" he murmured without looking behind him.

"Um…" After a moment's consideration, Ji'er decided to walk out from behind the folding screen.

However, her posture was dreadfully strange and awkward.

"What?" Chu Qi still did not turn around.

Thinking about what she wanted to say, Ji'er blushed scarlet.

She hesitated for a long time, and only when she felt something warm gush out did she blurt out in alarm, "M-my period's here, but I didn't prepare a sanitary belt. Help me…" She sounded tearful and distressed.

She had gotten her first period at the end of the previous year, and although she had experienced it several times, she still could not get used to it.

This time, she had forgotten about it. Her period had arrived without warning and caught her by surprise, and right in front of Lil Qi too…

She felt utterly helpless.

Hearing her plea, Chu Qi tightened his grip on the blankets as a sheen of sweat appeared on his forehead. He almost could not believe his ears.

He knew a little about what happened during a woman's menstruation, but he had never encountered it before. Naturally, it had never happened when Ji'er was still a child, so today was his first time witnessing it.

He had been somewhat uneasy at first, but his heart eventually melted at the sound of her tearful and helpless voice.

"Don't cry; it's not a big deal. I'll go and buy one for you now." Suppressing the agitation in him, he turned around and wiped the tears away from her face.
