Gu Jianing, who was originally in a deep sleep, was awakened by pains in his stomach.
Because of the pain, beads of sweat covered her forehead. Gu Jianing was a little dazed. She looked at the calendar hanging on the wall not far away and suddenly remembered that today was her period.
"Gu Jianing, are you an idiot? Today is your period, and you chose to jump into the river in the middle of winter. No wonder you are infertile and have a stomachache." Gu Jianing cursed herself in a low voice.
Although her menstruation was very regular, she always felt some pain on the first day. Now that she had jumped into the river and touched the cold water, how could her stomach hurt so much?
By the time she finally put on the menstrual belt and returned to bed, she was so weak from the pain that she had no strength left.
She looked up and saw that the door was closed. Her family had not come yet so as not to disturb her rest.
What to do?
"System, do you have any painkillers?"
[Host, your points are currently 0 and cannot be redeemed for anything. The system mall will only open after the host completes the novice mission.]
[Hey, host, you may not need to redeem the painkillers. ]
Gu Jianing curled up in the quilt, covering his stomach with his hands, his face pale.
It hurts. It hurts so much.
It hurts so much that I can't suppress it without painkillers.
It was so painful that she didn't even notice any movement at the window next to her.
By the time she reacted, the window had been opened from the outside and the man jumped in nimbly.
"Are you having a stomachache?" A familiar deep voice sounded. Gu Jianing looked up and saw the man half-squatting beside the bed, frowning and looking worried.
The familiar face made Gu Jianing stunned for a moment, and the next second, her eyes turned red.
It's Sheng Zexi!
He, why is he here?
Seeing that Gu Jianing didn't say anything, Sheng Zexi thought she was in great pain, so he stood up and took things out of his bag.
Gu Jianing only then realized that he was carrying something.
The next second, Sheng Zexi picked up the thermos, pulled over a chair and sat down beside the bed. He stretched out his right hand in front of Gu Jianing, and there was a white medicine in his palm.
"Take this painkiller first, then eat this sweet wine-boiled egg."
Nowadays, Western medicines such as painkillers are very precious. Sheng Zexi spent a lot of effort to get this painkiller.
Gu Jianing was stunned. No wonder the system said that there was no need to redeem the painkillers. It turned out that Sheng Zexi came with the painkillers.
Gu Jianing, who had a stomachache, didn't have time to think about it and quickly took the painkiller.
Sheng Zexi opened the thermos, and a sweet smell of wine filled the air. It might be due to the addition of brown sugar, so it was slightly brown. A poached egg was floating in it, and there were red dates and wolfberries swaying around it.
"I bought this from someone near the county hospital. They said it can relieve the pain you girls are experiencing, and it can also replenish qi and blood and dispel cold."
Gu Jianing looked up at him, slightly surprised, "How do you know that about me?"
Sheng Zexi lowered his eyes, a little embarrassed, "I was staying at your house before, and I found out by chance." In fact, Gu Jianing didn't look very good that day, and secretly went to wash her underwear. He guessed it, and somehow, Sheng Zexi wrote down the date.
Today, after the matchmaker left, he had planned to come directly to Gu's house, but suddenly he remembered today's date and turned back to the county town to buy things.
"You probably don't have much strength. I'll feed you." Sheng Zexi wrapped Gu Jianing in a quilt, let her half sit, and stuffed a pillow behind her back.
The moment he got close, Gu Jianing easily smelled the fresh scent of grass and trees on him, and in just a moment, he retreated.
Sheng Zexi sat back in his chair, picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful, and put it to Gu Jianing's mouth.
Gu Jianing lowered his head and drank it. The temperature was just right, warm but not hot, and sweet.
Thinking of what Sheng Zexi said about getting rid of the cold, Gu Jianing knew that Sheng Zexi must have known that she jumped into the river today.
But he still came, remembering her period, and brought painkillers and eggs cooked in sweet wine.
Sheng Zexi was actually very good to her. Why didn't she see it before?
Thinking of his past life again, Gu Jianing couldn't help but shed tears from his red eyes.
"Sheng Zexi, why are you so nice to me?" The little girl pouted, sniffed, and asked in a soft, choked voice.
The little girl suddenly burst into tears, leaving Sheng Zexi at a loss for a moment. When he heard her words, he seemed to be thinking about something and laughed out of anger again.
The corners of his mouth curled up with sarcasm, "Why, you don't want me to treat you well, you want that Wen Zhiqing to treat you well? It's a pity that you jumped into the river, and that pretty boy didn't come."
"Gu Jianing, are you really out of your mind? You actually jumped into the river in the middle of winter for a man. You are really a fool who wants to hang himself because you think his life is too long."
"I knew you were stupid before, but now I realize that you are really stupid."
Gu Jianing raised her eyes, her watery almond eyes glared at him slightly, and retorted, "I'm so stupid, why do you still want to look at me? Still want to marry me?"
Sheng Zexi choked suddenly and licked his back teeth with the tip of his tongue. Why does this girl talk so irritatingly?
After a few seconds, he chuckled and said, "Yes, I was fooled by your trick."
Because of his stepmother, Sheng Zexi, who was originally very averse to women, somehow, after moving into the Gu family for recuperation due to an accidental injury, all his attention was attracted by Gu Jianing.
You know clearly that she is coquettish, pretentious, lazy and doesn't like studying, so she is not smart.
But he just happened to be attracted by her. Not only did he fall in love with her, he also fell in love with her.
Why? Sheng Zexi couldn't really explain it.
Perhaps it was because she was the only one who noticed his loss because he was unable to go back to pay respects on his mother's death anniversary, and she taught him how to fold a paper crane. She said: Just write your wishes on it and put the crane in the river, and the deceased will be able to see it.
She said that death is not the end, as long as we don't forget, that person will always live in our hearts.
Perhaps she learned by chance that on his birthday, she encouraged her mother to make him a bowl of longevity noodles.
She said: "I don't know how to make noodles, but my mother's noodles are delicious. Since you live in my house, we will celebrate my birthday for you. If you eat longevity noodles, you will be healthy and live a long life."
No one knew that he had never eaten longevity noodles again since his mother passed away.
No one noticed that his eyes turned red and his hands trembled slightly when he lowered his head to eat noodles.
I don’t know where the love comes from, but it grows deeper and deeper.
He knew that she had jumped into the river for another gigolo, but because she agreed to meet him, he still bought some things and came here eagerly, holding on to a little hope.
"I'm so good to you, if you're still thinking about that pretty boy..."
Sheng Zexi said this casually, but before he finished speaking, Gu Jianing took over, "You are right, that person is not good, it is not worth it for me to do this, so after thinking about it, I don't want him anymore, I am willing to give it a try with you."
Sheng Zexi was stunned, and felt that the little girl's soft and coquettish words sounded a little unreal.
Gu Jianing blinked, and her pale little hand came out from under the quilt and gently pulled his sleeve, "Don't you want to?"
