185: Chapter 184 You're pregnant with my child?!

In the afternoon, the warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, tracing patches of mottled light and shadow on the ground of the Shelter; all around was quiet and peaceful.

An Lan lay quietly on the bed, her brows slightly furrowed, and her complexion showed a hint of something unusual.

Lu Fan, who was nearby organizing his hunting tools, also noticed this. He looked up at An Lan from time to time, his eyes filled with worry.

Finally, unable to contain himself, he walked softly to the bedside and asked gently, "An Lan, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

An Lan shook her head gently and replied in a low voice, "No, I'm just a bit sleepy."

How could Lu Fan believe her? He pressed further, "Tell me the truth, what's really going on?"

"I'm really fine, don't worry about it."

But unable to withstand Lu Fan's repeated questioning, An Lan hesitated for a long while. Her face turned bright red like a ripe tomato, and then she slowly leaned close to Lu Fan's ear, explaining to him in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"What!! You're pregnant with my child?!"

Lu Fan stood up abruptly, his voice rising, and his face was instantly filled with uncontrollable joy.

This shout was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and the livestream room instantly erupted.

"AAAAAHHHHH??!!"

"I'm freaking losing it, what's going on?"

"What's the situation? How did she suddenly get pregnant? What did I miss!"

"Impossible! I watch their livestream every day. They haven't had the chance. It's absolutely impossible!"

"Ahhh, my goddess~"

"I'm dead, don't ping me. (@_@)"

Lying on the bed, An Lan's face turned even redder with shame. She instantly flared up in embarrassment, clenching her fists and swinging at Lu Fan, her voice cracking with urgency: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who's pregnant with your child!"

Seeing An Lan suddenly scramble up in excitement, Lu Fan quickly caught her fists and supported her, fearing she might fall.

"Just kidding, just kidding! It's just your period, right? I'm here, don't be afraid."

Lu Fan quickly begged for mercy while offering gentle comfort.

An Lan's face flushed between red and white. She punched him in frustration and scolded, "You're really going to be the death of me!"

Lu Fan helped An Lan lie back down, carefully wrapping the bear skin tightly around her, and said tenderly, "Just wait here like a good girl."

With that, he turned and left, nimbly finding some honey. He carefully brewed a bowl of honey water at the perfect temperature and brought it to An Lan, his face full of concern. "Drink some of this; it'll make you feel better."

An Lan rolled her eyes at him, but her lips couldn't help but curl upward. She took the honey water and had a small sip, the sweet taste instantly spreading across her tongue.

Immediately after, Lu Fan picked up a Bamboo Tube and filled it with hot water.

Once the temperature was right, he plugged it tightly with a wooden stopper, ensuring not a single drop would leak.

He hurried back to the room and handed the Bamboo Tube to An Lan. "Hold this against your stomach; it'll definitely help."

Having done all this, Lu Fan still felt it wasn't enough.

He suddenly remembered the ginseng he had worked so hard to find in the wild. He thought it was a great tonic that might help alleviate An Lan's menstrual discomfort.

So, he excitedly ran to the storage area, dug out the ginseng, and strode back to An Lan's bedside. With an expectant look, he said, "An Lan, I brought the ginseng. This stuff is very nourishing. If you eat some, you'll definitely perk up."

Looking at the ginseng in Lu Fan's hand, An Lan was both annoyed and amused. She quickly reached out to stop him. "Don't! I really can't eat this ginseng right now."

Lu Fan looked puzzled, scratching his head. "Why? Isn't ginseng good stuff?"

An Lan smiled helplessly and explained patiently, "Oh, you. ginseng is indeed good; it has effects like replenishing vital energy and nourishing the spleen and lungs, but you have to eat it at the right time."

I'm on my period now, so my physical state is different from usual. My constitution is already a bit on the 'hot' side. During menstruation, the Qi and blood in the body are active. ginseng is warm in nature; eating it would be like pouring a bucket of oil onto a blazing fire. It will only make the internal heat evil even stronger.

When that happens, the menstrual flow might become very heavy, and the period could be prolonged, making my body feel even worse.

Lu Fan listened dumbfoundedly, then realized. "So that's how it is. I thought this treasure worked no matter when you ate it. It seems there's quite a lot of knowledge regarding periods."

An Lan continued, "Furthermore, even for girls with a 'cold' constitution, they still need to be cautious about whether they can eat ginseng during their period."

Everyone's physical condition is different; it has to be judged based on specific symptoms.

Some girls feel cold or have stomach pains during their period, so eating a bit of ginseng might be beneficial, but even then, they shouldn't eat too much.

Lu Fan nodded repeatedly and carefully put the ginseng away. "It's a good thing you know about this, or I would've almost messed things up with my good intentions. So, besides the honey water and the hot compress, what else do you want to eat? I'll go get it for you."

Looking at Lu Fan's nervous yet serious expression, An Lan felt a warm glow in her heart. She smiled and said, "No need, what you've done is enough. Stop bustling about and rest for a bit."

But Lu Fan wouldn't give up. "That won't do. You're in a special period right now; I have to take good care of you. How about I go find some blood-tonifying foods for you to eat?"

As he spoke, he lifted his foot, preparing to head out.

An Lan quickly pulled him back. "Listen to me. It's not like girls have to eat specific things during their period. Things like dairy, fish, shrimp, or animal organs are fine. It's mainly about supplementing protein and iron. Don't act like the sky is falling."

Seeing Lu Fan still full of worry, An Lan smiled helplessly. "Oh, really, there's no need to do anything right now. We'll talk about it later. Just sit here and chat with me for a bit."

Only then did Lu Fan sit down, chatting back and forth with An Lan.

One moment, he was vividly telling An Lan about interesting things he'd encountered in the wild; the next, he was caringly asking about other discomforts she might have during her period. He would also get up from time to time to add hot water for her or take the Bamboo Tube to reheat it.

livestream room.

"Phew, good thing she's not pregnant. Scared me to death."

"Actually, it's just a matter of time."

"Hehe, I'm done. My girlfriend wants honey water too. Where am I supposed to get honey water? I'm the one who's going crazy."

"That's nothing. The Mistress I'm keeping was clamoring for ginseng, so I gave her a beating."

"666"

Throughout the afternoon, the Shelter was filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere.

"Do you feel any better?"

"It's not that fast."

"Then do you want something to eat? How about I cut off Big Horn's Velvet Antlers to nourish you?"

"Are you a devil?!"

"It's not like it'll die if I cut them off anyway."

Although An Lan was enduring the discomfort of her period, having Lu Fan bustling around her filled her heart with emotion. This warmth was enough to dispel her physical discomfort, making this special afternoon exceptionally memorable.
