Tomb-Sweeping Festival happened to be on a Sunday that year, and after finishing breakfast, Zhen Yu went out alone.
Her menstrual cycle had started on March 21st, which was a full fifteen days earlier than usual! She should have visited the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner as soon as her period ended, but because she was busy the previous weekend, she had to postpone it until today.
On Zhen Yan's birthday, Zhen Yu had intended to discuss this matter with her mother. But in the end...
Ever since the previous time Zhen Yu moved to live at the wonton restaurant, she had been brewing her own herbal medicine using the kitchen there, bringing her own pot to do so. Later when she moved back to the internet cafe to live, naturally, she took the pot back home. Perhaps it was because Mrs. Zhen hadn't needed to inquire about the herbal medicine for so long that she had pushed her daughter's irregular periods to the back of her mind.
