Gu Lingxiao then realized he had misunderstood. Even if he didn't understand women, he knew that menstruation was a woman's menstrual cycle, something he had learned in military training.
Knowing that it would be painful for a woman during her period, he stopped in his tracks, then carried her upstairs in his arms, this time with gentle movements, not as forceful as before.
He was worried that moving too quickly would make her stomach hurt more.
Lu Zhixia felt awkward not because she was embarrassed, but because others were. Since the words had already been spoken, there was no need to hide them anymore.
Besides, the man's chest was much harder than she had imagined.
When I pressed my face against his chest, I could hear his heartbeat, thumping loudly.
When she came to her senses, she was already lying in bed.
Gu Lingxiao looked somewhat at a loss.
Su Lan laughed non-stop, "You're such a funny comrade, you just picked him up and carried him away without saying a word, without even asking what happened!"
Gu Lingxiao said, "I thought she was upset and then she was in pain, so I rushed her to the hospital."
Su Lan said, "It's okay, women often have this problem. Just rest well and keep your hands and feet warm, and the stomachache will gradually subside. If it really doesn't get better, take a couple of painkillers, and then the pain will be gone."
He actually had painkillers.
Gu Lingxiao took out a metal box issued by the army from his pocket, which contained painkillers. After taking it, he could quickly relieve the pain.
The drug has a long-lasting effect, which is why it was developed to prevent sudden situations where physical pain prevents the performance of tasks.
"I do have some medicine here, do you want to take it?"
Lu Zhixia couldn't take it anymore, so she said, "Give it to me, I'll eat it!"
Gu Lingxiao took out a pill and broke it in half. "You can't take too much of this medicine. Here, take half of it!"
"Alright!"
Lu Zhixia took the half-pill. She saw that the metal box was labeled "Military Use Only," so she guessed the medicine was very potent.
Su Lan poured a glass of warm water and brought it back to Lu Zhixia.
After drinking warm water to take the medicine, Lu Zhixia sat up against the pillows. Being a woman is really too difficult.
In her next life, she absolutely wants to be a man!
She thought she would have to endure it for a long time, but only two or three minutes later, the pain in her stomach subsided and she was able to sit up straight.
Su Lan went out and came back to bring over the things her son was carrying, placing them on the ground by the door.
"Xiao Gu, even if you're in a hurry next time, you can't throw things on the ground. Anyone would pick up something this expensive if it were left on the ground!"
"The situation was urgent, and I didn't think much about it."
"Alright, be careful next time! I know you're an impatient person. Just leave this on the ground. You stay with the girl. I have to go to the hospital, so I won't talk to you anymore."
"Sister, you go ahead and do your work!" Lu Zhixia felt particularly embarrassed because the incident had delayed Su Lan's trip to the hospital.
Su Lan turned and left with a smile, unaware of what would become of the two of them.
However, she could tell that Gu Lingxiao really liked Lu Zhixia; his eyes didn't lie.
Lu Zhixia drank another half glass of water. Now that she was alive again, she felt much more energetic.
"Your medicine works really well. My stomach pain stopped within minutes of taking it."
"It's a special medicine for the military, so you can't take too much. I'll save the other half for you; take it when the pain gets really bad!"
Gu Lingxiao dared not leave all the medicine behind, fearing that the woman might damage her nerves if she took too much.
"Okay, stay here with me. I guess I'll be in pain for another day tomorrow. I won't feel so bad if I have medicine."
Lu Zhixia thought about how he always saw her at her most disheveled, which made her lose all her image.
"I beat him up, he shouldn't bother you for the next few days."
"I guessed so, he's a real coward!"
"Don't act impulsively next time. If you can't handle things yourself, then hide away."
"No, all three of them stood up to protect me. If I hide and let them get hurt, would I even be human?"
Gu Lingxiao understood that this was the bond between sisters, just like the bond between brothers. She was fortunate to have made such a few friends who would risk their lives for her.
"Your living conditions here are not good, you should consider moving!"
“None of this matters to me. I want to save up some money and then go find my child. Even if it’s to the ends of the earth, even if there’s only a sliver of hope, I will find my child.”
You will definitely succeed!
"Thank you for your kind words, I'm sure I'll succeed!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling a warmth in their hearts at that moment.
Lu Zhixia saw the things placed on the ground by the door.
“You don’t need to do this. You bring things every time you come.”
"You didn't charge me when you treated me, so don't be so calculating with me. It makes me feel uncomfortable."
"What you said makes sense. How's your arm? Did you start a fight today?"
Gu Lingxiao looked at his right arm. He had indeed used too much force today, and his arm was tingling with pain.
A loud clap of thunder was followed by a torrential downpour, signaling the start of the rainy season.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Lu Zhixia pressed.
"It's alright, it'll be fine in a bit," Gu Lingxiao quickly reassured her. "I know my own arm!"
Lu Zhixia became anxious, "If it really hurts, it will affect the future treatment. Grandpa isn't here now, what if something happens?"
Gu Lingxiao: "I don't think it's a big problem. I just punched someone a few times!"
Lu Zhixia was deeply moved as she looked at the man before her, and couldn't help but blurt out...
"Why are you so nice to me? Aren't you afraid of losing these clothes because you hit someone?"
