The cramps from her stomach spread throughout her body, her hands and feet were cold, and cold sweat was breaking out. Qi Xinlan, who woke up slowly, was almost buried by the pain. She opened her confused eyes and saw a sea of white.
Suddenly, a familiar voice drew Qi Xinlan back to her senses. Looking in the direction of the voice, she was surprised to find it was her mother, Zhao Lan. But something seemed off. Why did her mother look so young? Was she dreaming?
"It's okay, it's just her first period, which proves that she has grown up." said the woman in the white coat.
"Really? Oh, I was so scared. I thought something happened and I fainted from the pain. I'm so sorry to bother you, doctor." Zhao Lan said with a smile.
"As she should. I have given her an analgesic injection and the pain will gradually subside. When you go back, you can make ginger and pork liver soup or brown sugar water. Both of them can soothe the uterine muscles, help the menstrual blood to be discharged, and also nourish the body." The female doctor also smiled.
"Okay, I'll remember that. Thank you so much, doctor." Zhao Lan nodded and thanked him.
"Well, I won't bother you anymore. I have to go see the next patient." The female doctor said after looking at the medical record in her hand.
"Okay, doctor, you go ahead and do your thing." Zhao Lan smiled as she sent the doctor away before turning around to find Qi Xinlan staring blankly at her. So she walked over, hugged Qi Xinlan, and stroked her head, saying, "It's okay, Lanzi, don't be afraid. This is something every girl goes through. It's a good companion who's been with you for half your life, a symbol of your growing up. It's a happy thing, so just relax."
Qi Xinlan was stunned when she heard this. This familiar scene and conversation, familiar language and tone, wasn't it the same scene 16 years ago when she fainted from the pain during her first menstruation and was sent to the town hospital by Zhao Lan?
"Mom, can you hit me?" Qi Xinlan murmured to herself.
"Hehe...what's wrong with you? It's just your period. Look how scared you are!" He said with a smile and tapped Qi Xinlan's forehead.
"It really hurts, I'm not dreaming..." Qi Xinlan was stunned and touched the place where Zhao Lan had hit her, and felt a slight pain.
"What's wrong with you, kid?" Zhao Lan asked in confusion.
"It's okay, Mom, I just want to drink some water." Qi Xinlan woke up from her senses and made up an excuse.
"Okay, then wait a minute, I'll get you a kettle of water." Zhao Lan said, picking up the kettle on the table.
After Zhao Lan left, Qi Xinlan sorted out her thoughts. Why was she here?
She only remembered poisoning her Li family and then setting fire to the place...
She woke up 16 years ago. Could it be that she was reborn? This is the only explanation at the moment.
She remembered that when her first period came, it was half a month after the college entrance examination. She was happily waiting for the admission letter at home, but reality slapped her in the face. Her family insisted that she marry a vulgar soldier. Fortunately, she was not old enough, so they could only force her into an engagement and she did not get married.
She was originally confident that she could get the other party to cancel the marriage within two years, but she never expected that Xu Minghao fell in love with her at first sight and refused to cancel the engagement no matter what. The wedding day was getting closer and closer, and she already had someone in her heart, so she was full of anxiety and had to elope before Xu Minghao returned from the military.
Not long after she left her hometown with the man, the man's true face was revealed. After spending all her money, he sold her to Li Jiabiao, a domestic violence man. If she met him again, she would make him live a life worse than death!
"Lan Zi, the water is here, what's wrong?" Zhao Lan asked worriedly when she saw that Qi Xinlan was in a bad mood.
"It's okay, Mom, my stomach just hurts." Qi Xinlan came back to her senses and smiled.
"Come, drink some water to warm your stomach." Zhao Lan poured a glass of water for Qi Xinlan and said.
"Thank you, Mom." Qi Xinlan took Zhao Lan's water and took a sip.
"Silly child, why are you being so polite to your mother? Are you hungry? How about I buy you something to eat?" Zhao Lan asked.
"No, Mom, let's go home. I'm much better now." Qi Xinlan refused. In her previous life, she was too pretentious and couldn't stand the suffering. She was in a little pain but had to stay in the hospital for three days before she was willing to be discharged, which cost her family half a month's daily expenses.
Now she is no longer the same person she used to be, but an adult who has gone through more than 20 years of hardship. She knows that money is hard-earned, so she doesn't want to spend the money on these unworthy things.
"Is it really okay? Do I need to stay in the hospital for a day for observation?" Zhao Lan hesitated.
"No need, Mom. The doctor just said that this is not a big deal. It's just menstruation. I can just drink some brown sugar water when I go home. Besides, many patients are more seriously ill than me, and I feel a little embarrassed for occupying their bed." Qi Xinlan persuaded.
"Okay then, I'll go and handle the discharge procedures. You wait a moment." Zhao Lan thought about it and agreed.
On the way home, I saw Qi Xinwei running towards me from a distance, panting and asking, "Mom, Lan Zi, are you okay? I was weeding in the fields just now when I heard someone say something happened to Lan Zi, so I hurried back."
"It's okay, it's okay, Lan Zi has just grown up. Look at you, you are sweating all over after running, wipe it off quickly." Zhao Lan said as she handed the handkerchief to Qi Xinwei.
"Grow up? Mom, do you have to go to the hospital when you grow up?" Qi Xinwei asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"You won't understand even if I tell you. You will understand after you get married." Zhao Lan said perfunctorily.
"Brother, let's go back first. The sun is very strong." Seeing that Qi Xinwei wanted to ask more questions, Qi Xinlan immediately interrupted him. She felt embarrassed to ask any more questions.
"Okay, Lan Zi, I'll carry you. You're so weak." Qi Xinwei said with concern when he saw Qi Xinlan's pale face, white lips, and weak look.
"Great! Big brother, you haven't carried me for a long time." Qi Xinlan said happily.
"Then come up." Seeing Qi Xinlan's happy look, he immediately squatted down.
"Be careful, you two." Zhao Lan shook her head, looked at the brother and sister, and warned them with a smile.
"I know, Mom. Even if I fall, I won't let Lan Zi fall. By the way, Lan Zi, you should lose weight. You are so heavy." Qi Xinwei answered Zhao Lan while teasing Qi Xinlan.
"What are you talking about? How could I be fat? I have a standard body shape!" Qi Xinlan hated being called fat the most in her life. As she was the youngest girl in the family, she was naturally the one who was spoiled by everyone. So any delicious food was given to Qi Xinlan first. As a result, she was a big fat girl when she was young, and her weight only returned to normal when she was eleven or twelve years old.
"Haha, really? I still remember that you were a fat girl when you were a child." Qi Xinwei said with a smile.
"That was when I was a child. I am a beautiful girl now." Qi Xinlan said proudly.
"Okay, beautiful girl, hold me steady, I'm going to speed up!" Qi Xinwei reminded.
"Hey... brother... why are you doing this in such a hurry... wait a minute, oh my god," Qi Xinlan said, holding Qi Xinwei's neck tightly with both hands.
The wind blew through Qi Xinlan's long hair, and looking at the blue sky, she knew that she had been reborn.
Xu Minghao, in this life, it’s my turn to chase you!
