Chapter Ninety-Four: A Sixty-Forty Split (Please add this book to your bookshelf so you can find it later.)

“So you are...” Shu Yue asked, curious.

“The medical unit!” Hua Tianyu said without hesitation, looking at the wounds on Tian Li’s hands that he had bandaged.

Shu Yue: “...”

Shu Yue could not understand why Hua Tianyu refused to tell her the truth.

Back when he was in the jungle, in the wild, while hunting down enemies, Hua Tianyu had been able to make something delicious with nothing more than salt as seasoning.

Let alone now, in such a comfortable and peaceful setting, with every kind of seasoning available. For Hua Tianyu, putting together a feast was truly no trouble at all.

But even if he told her that, Shu Yue would probably believe it even less. Besides, Hua Tianyu did not want to disturb the present calm with that tension and pressure.

Lin Lin had guessed a little of why Hua Tianyu did not want to say more, but because of her father, she also chose to remain silent on Shu Yue’s question.

Only Tian Li felt a little self-conscious under Hua Tianyu’s gaze. She set down her chopsticks and wrapped herself around Hua Tianyu’s arm again, shamelessly acting spoiled.

By now, Tian Li had turned clinging to Hua Tianyu’s arm, pressing close to him, and shaking him hard into a killer move against him.

More public displays of affection again!

“Ahem.” As the big sister figure, Lin Lin cleared her throat twice before Tian Li finally returned to her seat.

Shu Yue did not press Hua Tianyu about his concealment either. Instead, she and Lin Lin chatted like sisters, evaluating Hua Tianyu’s cooking.

Watching the two of them getting along so harmoniously, Hua Tianyu suddenly realized that Lin Lin’s academic tutor in biology, that trump card of his, seemed to be losing its deterrent power over her more and more.

It seemed he would have to find some other weapon of intimidation to deal with Lin Lin.

Otherwise, one day, once she learned that killer move of Tian Li’s, Hua Tianyu would no longer have any say in her studies and homework at all.

Looking at Lin Lin, then at Shu Yue, Hua Tianyu’s thoughts on the matter grew stronger and stronger.

No. Something was wrong with Shu Yue’s expression.

Earlier, when Shu Yue had asked him whether he was from the cooking crew, her face had still looked perfectly normal. But now, while talking with Lin Lin, her complexion seemed to be turning a little pale.

Her speech was slowing down, and her voice was growing softer and softer.

“Shu Yue?” Hua Tianyu called her name softly. “What’s wrong?”

What was wrong with Shu Yue?

Shu Yue was in a bit of a bind. She was a little foodie at heart. After hearing Lin Lin say that Hua Tianyu’s cooking was delicious, she had come over to his place to mooch a meal, since it was right next door and she felt no psychological burden at all.

In fact, she even felt a little secret delight at the thought of causing Hua Tianyu some trouble.

But after only a few bites, Shu Yue discovered something.

Her period might be coming. A pain began in her lower abdomen, that familiar pain, the pain that came once every month, had returned again.

As a highly educated biology expert, why had she still maintained the habit of working out every week and eating three meals a day on time?

Precisely because she had been so deeply impressed by this monthly pain that she had once gone to a specialist clinic, hoping to solve the problem.

The specialist had told her it was something that had to be slowly regulated. If she wanted the pain to go away, she had to start by cultivating good habits—she needed to break her routine of skipping breakfast, eating dinner at irregular times, and barely exercising at all.

So now she had developed the good habits of eating three meals on time and exercising every week. At the very least, she herself felt that her mental state was much better than before.

Only this monthly pain seemed not to have eased in the slightest.

But this was an extremely private matter for a girl. Shu Yue almost never talked about it to anyone, let alone now, when there was Lin Lin in the room, who could be considered her student, and Hua Tianyu, a man.

How could she possibly bring it up?

She only wanted to eat a little, then quickly find an excuse to slip back to her room and lie down.

She had never expected that this small accident would be noticed by Hua Tianyu, and how could she not feel embarrassed?

“I’m fine...” As the abdominal pain worsened, Shu Yue’s voice became softer and softer.

“Teacher Shu, are you perhaps...” Lin Lin also noticed Shu Yue’s problem. As a fellow woman, seeing Shu Yue hesitate and stop short of speaking, Lin Lin suddenly thought of a possibility.

“Mm...” Shu Yue immediately understood what Lin Lin meant and nodded quickly.

Hua Tianyu: “Huh?”

What were they talking about in riddles? Had Lin Lin, after studying biology with Shu Yue for just a few days, learned telepathy or something?

Or had Shu Yue’s perfect genetic evolution technique already advanced to the point where it could be used on humans, even developing the ability for mind-to-mind communication?

Seeing Hua Tianyu’s confusion, Lin Lin did not explain, but hurried off to fetch hot water and a hot water bottle.

Tian Li, as another woman, immediately understood Shu Yue’s embarrassment when she saw Lin Lin’s movements.

But in Tian Li’s heart, Brother Tian came first; she never hid anything from him.

She walked up to Hua Tianyu and softly whispered two words into his ear.

Hua Tianyu’s eyes widened, and he instantly understood the situation.

Hua Tianyu understood, but Shu Yue was even more embarrassed now.

Her face flushed red all the way to the roots of her neck, so mortified she almost wanted to find a crack in the floor and crawl into it.

Lin Lin came out carrying the hot water and hot water bottle, glared at Hua Tianyu, and then helped Shu Yue into her bedroom.

Hua Tianyu: “...”

I said nothing. I did nothing.

Why are you glaring at me for?

You can’t just glare at me because I’m a man, can you?

Hua Tianyu looked at the dishes on the table, which had barely been touched, and said to Tian Li beside him, “Take Shu Yue’s bowl in to her, and bring a couple of dishes in as well.”

“No need.” Tian Li shook her head. “When she’s in pain, she won’t be able to eat anything.”

Hua Tianyu: “...”

Fine, Tian Li. Just how big is your heart?

With the two of them gone from the table, Hua Tianyu no longer had the heart to eat.

After Tian Li went into Lin Lin’s room to check on her once, she came out and told Hua Tianyu that Shu Yue was much better, then stayed and chatted with him for a while.

About half an hour later, Shu Yue finally came out. Although she still avoided Hua Tianyu’s gaze somewhat, her complexion had basically returned to normal and was no longer pale.

The four of them resumed eating.

The atmosphere at the table was slightly delicate. Shu Yue simply kept her head down this time, no longer speaking, no longer evaluating Hua Tianyu’s cooking.

Tian Li had the biggest heart, and she was also the closest to Hua Tianyu, so she did not sense the subtle tension at all.

After eating for a while and seeing that no one was speaking, she took the initiative to offer Shu Yue some advice: “Shu Yue, I used to be just like you. I’d have that kind of pain once every month too. But during this period, it hasn’t hurt anymore!”

Tian Li’s words aroused Shu Yue’s curiosity. This problem had plagued her for a long time without being solved, and hearing that Tian Li had a way to deal with it, she naturally wanted to hear the reason.
