After sending Lin Deng away, Ding Long immediately called Ding Jinshi. Over there, Ding Jinshi responded softly with a chuckling tone once she heard Ding Long had arrived safely.
Hearing Ding Jinshi's dispirited voice, Ding Long asked, "Did you take your medicine on time? Why do you sound so down? Did you have a fever again last night and not sleep well?"
"No," Ding Jinshi shook her head, "Misfortunes never come singly. It's something you men can't experience in a lifetime."
Ding Long paused for a moment, "What's the matter?"
"Menstrual cramps," Ding Jinshi replied nonchalantly to Ding Long, "Once I get through today, it should be better. If I ask for another rest day, the professor definitely won't believe me."
"Don't force yourself. Even if you need to rest, your professor can't do anything about it. Stay away from cold water. If you can find it there, buy a packet of brown sugar and make a drink with it." Ding Long advised, "Get some rest and don't stay up late reading."
