Qin Zhi'ai felt her stomach cramping and bloated when she had only had one third of the cup of hot water.
She knew it was a sign of menstrual cramps.
After that idea flashed in her head, she started to feel a sharp pain in her stomach five minutes later.
The pain didn't last long, but it hurt her so much that her hands started to shake. Hot water splashed from the cup onto her arms.
Qin Zhi'ai didn't care about the burning pain from her arms at all. She immediately put her cup down and grabbed a pillow to hug it to her stomach.
She started to feel the throbbing and aching pain not long after she hugged the pillow. The pain was dull, but sharp at times.
Qin Zhi'ai was in so much pain that she curled up on the sofa with her eyes closed. She stayed in that position for a long time. Without knowing how much time had passed, she heard the doorbell ringing.
