Chapter 56: Drink More hot Water

Chapter 56

Song Shuling's eyes lit up at the praise.

She had never been so affirmed by anyone before in her life!

She didn't have any outstanding talents. She grew up ordinarily and had never done anything praiseworthy. Sometimes when Song Shuling read novels about fake heiresses, she wondered if she was the fake one who got switched at birth.

She couldn't find a single remarkable trait about herself.

Yet today, just because she secretly filmed a video, her brother had praised her profusely. Song Shuling didn't know how to describe how she felt in that moment. It was as if a small seed was sprouting within her heart.

Later she would know that it was the birth of her self-confidence.

After dropping Song Shuling off at her home, Zhong Ruanxing was about to head back when Song Shuling suddenly called for her, "Sis."

Zhong Ruanxing turned around, "Hmm?"

Song Shuling seemed to have mustered her courage, "I want to find something to do. What do you think I should do?" NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

Since graduating college, Song Shuling had been idle at home, shopping, eating, playing and enjoying herself. She had never worked a day in her life or done anything productive. Many envied her lifestyle and she had never thought of leaving her comfort zone before.

But after reconciling with her brother, laying around at home everyday made Song Shuling feel uneasy, with an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Not until tonight did she finally confirm her own thoughts.

She didn't want to continue being a dusty little follower, a good-for-nothing. If only she could shine too. Her brother was so outstanding, she hoped people wouldn't see her as his burden and stain when they talked about him.

Zhong Ruanxing smiled, "Do you have anything you want to do?"

The Song Shuling before her eyes was already very different from when they first met. She was happy to see her change for the better.

Song Shuling pursed her lips and shook her head dejectedly, "No, I don't know what I can do. I'm not good at anything."

Zhong Ruanxing asked, "What was your college major?"

Song Shuling said, "Fine arts painting, but I'm not good at it." She stared at the ground, not daring to meet her brother's eyes, somewhat ashamed, "My grades weren't good. It was easier to get into an art college by applying for fine arts. At the time I just chose art as my major. In college...I didn't attend lectures diligently either. It was difficult for me to even get my diploma."

Her head was suddenly rubbed by a big, warm hand.

Song Shuling looked up to meet a pair of gentle eyes, "I wasn't good at anything in the beginning either. You can take your time to think through what you're interested in. When the time comes, we can discuss it together, okay?"

Zhong Ruanxing breathed a sigh of relief, "What happened to you?"

Song Jinxing was too embarrassed to say.

Zhong Ruanxing suddenly understood, "Did you get your period?"

Song Jinxing used his palm to cover his forehead, not wanting to speak.

The other end was still chattering away, "It's only coming today? How come it's late? I thought it should've come a few days ago based on the timing. Why didn't you ask me? Song Jinxing, do you know how to use sanitary pads? I don't get cramps but my breasts will hurt these few days. Wear some tight bras the next few days, bind it tighter, or else it'll really hurt when your chest shakes during action scenes. Song Jinxing? Are you listening?"

Song Jinxing: "......I'm listening."

Zhong Ruanxing held in her laugh, "Have you used a sanitary napkin?"

Song Jinxing was silent for a good while before finally regaining his calm composure. His voice turned cool again, "I've used one. I went to the supermarket to buy incontinence panties a few days ago that can be worn directly, very convenient."

Zhong Ruanxing: "Wow! You even know about incontinence panties! Impressive!"

That wasn't all. Ever since they swapped bodies, he had been diligently trying to accept everything about being female. He had specifically looked up information to understand menstruation.

Thus Zhong Ruanxing heard that calm voice continue, "It's possible the breast pain during menstruation is a symptom of fibrocystic breast condition. I'll take you to get examined at the hospital after this drama wraps up."

Zhong Ruanxing didn't care, "It's normal. Just the first three days are more painful."

Song Jinxing was adamant, "It needs to be examined."

Zhong Ruanxing burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, then you go get examined."

There seemed to be a laugh on his end, "Alright."

After hanging up, Song Jinxing turned off the lights.

The hotel had excellent blackout curtains that didn't let in any light. In the pitch blackness, he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

Even though Zhong Ruanxing said she didn't get cramps, there was no way she didn't feel any discomfort at all. The ache spread from his lower abdomen to his whole body. In the scorching summer night, his hands and feet felt somewhat cold for some reason. Flipping over, the upright swelling breasts immediately transmitted intense sensations of fullness when pressed down even slightly.

In the darkness, Song Jinxing let out a helpless sigh.

Being female was more difficult than he imagined.
