Chapter Twelve First Period Arrives
Under the peach blossom tree, there was a young lady holding a guitar. She had big and reddened eyes, her snow-white face had traces of tears on it, but her eyes held a happy expression. This caused Xue Yunge and Xue Zhuyueâs heart to feel anxious. The young ladyâs clear and emotional singing voice was sauve in the wind, forming an aesthetic scene. This image buried itself into the two brothersâ minds, never vanishing.
âIâm afraid that I wonât have enough time, I want to hold you now. Until I feel like your wrinkles are lined with age.
Until Iâm certain youâre real, until I no longer have the energy to move. For you, I am willing.
I have to watch you even if I canât move, until your hair turns white.
Until I lose my sight, until I lose my breath. Let us be inseparable.
Even if I could give up the whole world, at least thereâs you that I can treasure.
And youâre here, your existence is a miracle.
Even if I could forget the whole world, I wouldnât want to stop getting news about you.
I will always remember that mole in your palm.
We donât have it easy, we canât act on our own will.
Iâm afraid time passes too quickly and I wonât be able to look at you too closely.
And yet I am also scared that I might lose you if the time passes too slowly. It would be best
if we could grow old in a night and stay together forever.â*
The worldâs most romantic thing was slowly growing old together with you. But, Iâm very worried, time is always too fickle. Whether or not we can be together is uncertain. So, to be able to use youthful complexions to exchange with love, I would rather have a head full of white hair, never to part (with you).
This is the romance that transcends life or death.
In split seconds, those two heartless and gloomy youths had cheeks streaming with tears when they heard the young girlâs tender and loving singing voice.

Weiyiâs Boudoir.
Under the spacious and soft pink gauze were the inseparable bodies of two men and a woman in the midst of dreams. The atmosphere was comforting and peaceful. Suddenly, a youth opened his eyes and exposed a pair of charming and bewitching purple eyes. Looking at the young girl asleep in his embrace, a tender expression flashed through his eyes. But looking at the young girlâs white undergarments, he saw scarlet. Time froze, the surroundings of the young girlâs butt was all covered in bloodstains. Even the bedsheets alongside himself and didiâs clothes were stained. He turned pale from fright and from head to toe his body emitted a grave killing intent, rousing the green eyed youth to his side.
âGe, whatâs wrong?â
âYi Yiâs injured!â He lowly roared, his voice was riddled with remorse and anxiety. Unexpectedly, when he was unaware of his feelings, he harmed Yi Yi. Who had such big capability, or, did he overestimate himself?
âWhat!â With great alarm, Xue Zhuyue hurriedly got up and saw Gu Weiyiâs lower body stained with blood. At once, he examined her body. But, he couldnât find any injured places. Indeed, there didnât seem to be any wounds. Then how did that bloodstain come about? Grasping her veins**, he felt that her pulse was somewhat weak, but it seemed to be because of yin deficiency. But there werenât any large and bleeding wounds, ah? These two people, who boasted that their medical skills surpassed others, were presently at a loss as to what to do.
Gu Weiyi, after being tossed back and forth by these two, gradually began to wake up. But after raising her head and seeing the two gegeâs anxious expressions, she questioned, âWhat happened?â
Xue Yunge anxiously looked at her, âYi Yi, does it hurt anywhere? Youâre bleeding, but gege canât find the wound.â
Pain, she really did have some pain, her stomach felt strange. Blood? Bowing her head to search over herself, she became startled. It canât be, unexpectedly, her period arrived! After being a child for so long, she had forgotten all about womenâs characteristics. Looking at gegeâs restless expressions, Gu Weiyiâs face turned as red as an apple. Heavens, ah, how humiliating! Gege are too stupid, they were people who were outstanding in medical skills. How could they not know whatâs wrong with her, still having such a concerned appearance?
Groaning, she opened her mouth and whispered, âGege, didnât⦠thereâs nothing, itâs unimportant.â
âHow can it not be important! Quickly tell gege, where does it hurt?â
âI, itâs just that my period arrivedâ¦â She softly stated, sounding as quiet as a mosquitoâs battle cry.
âWhat?â
Her little face turned redder. Bad gege, stupid gege. She couldnât help but furiously yell.
âSomeoneâs period merely arrived!â
When the sentence finished, it suddenly became absolutely silent. Xue Zhuyue and Xue Yungeâs exceptional complexions also blushed, they awkwardly sat on the bed, not knowing what to do.
âThat thing⦠Yi Yiâ¦â
Yeah right, ah. But, just now, she didnât feel the cramp in her stomach. In her past life, she would also frequently feel menstrual pain. After switching bodies, why did she still have pain, ah? Painfully covering her stomach and a few beads of sweat also appeared on her small face.
Xue Zhuyue discovered her abnormal behavior and worriedly said, âYi Yi, whatâs wrong?â
âPain, quick, quickly call Aunt Qingâ¦â
»»ââââ- â¼ ââââ-««
Under Aunt Qingâs assistance, Gu Weiyi was able to change her underwear and clean the lower part of her body. Gu Weiyi weakly reclined on the bed. Xue Yunge pressed his hand on her stomach, transferring his internal power into her to bring relief to her pain. Xue Zhuyue was extracting herbs and preparing a meal for her.
Holding big brotherâs warm body, Gu Weiyi held him tighter. In her previous life, she could only lay down on the bed by herself, coldly shivering as she endured the piercing pain. Nobody was there to care for her, she even resisted going to buy medicine. But now, she had loving gege by her side. She could embrace their warmth. She could act like a spoiled child as she vented about her pains. She didnât have to worry about everythingâ¦
âYi Yi, is it better now?â
âGege, itâs very hard on Yi Yi. Yi Yi doesnât want her period.â Acting like a spoiled child, she grumbled.
He laughed as he massaged her hair, âYi Yi  is a girl. Naturally, this will come.â His cheeks were slightly warm as he comfortingly said, âThis indicates that Yi Yi has grown up, no longer a child now.â
Naturally, I knew this. âWhether or not Yi Yi grows up causes whether ot not gege will care for Yi Yi?â She miserably pulled her small face, Gu Weiyiâs face showed a concerned and anxious expression.
Xue Yunge kissed her cheek, âHow can that be, gege will love Yi Yi more dearly.â
Xue Zhuyue opened the door and walked in and in his hands, he carried a tray. On the tray, there was a bowl of medicine and a bowl of lotus root congee. From far away, you could smell the unpleasant smell of medicine. Gu Weiyi puckered her eyebrows, âGege, I donât want to drink medicine!â
Xue Zhuyue, apparantly having seen through Gu Weiyiâs thoughts, insisted, âNot possible, you must drink it.â
âBut, the medicine is very bitter. Gegeâ¦â She pulled at his sleeve, acting like a spoilt child.
âOriginally we were worried about this, ah. Be good, gege added licorice root.â
Unwillingly opening his cherry lips, she tasted the faint bit of sweetness spill from the tip of her tongue. She happily faced second brother, âIt really isnât bitter, gege is so good!â
With a pampering smile he replied, âYou can drink it now.â
She raised her head and drank it in one gulp and by this time, Xue Zhuyue had already brought the congee in front of her and began feeding it to her. Happily opening her mouth, Gu Weiyi enjoyed gegeâs intimate service and gradually, she felt as if the pain in her stomach also slightly faded away.
Gu Weiyi laid on the bed for two days, by the second day, she felt as if it didnât hurt anymore. But gege made a big fuss out of nothing and insisted she continue to rest. She obeyed their wishes, but because of her period arriving, the peace talks she wanted to have with Peopleâs Welfare Hall had to be postponed to another day.

**he didnât actually hold her veins. Iâm pretty sure he just held her arm and felt her pulse through there.
