Gu Zhiyuan left for a while and returned. Hearing that the house was quiet, he knocked on the door: "A-Ning, may I come in?"
Xu Ningyan snorted.
Gu Zhiyuan quietly pushed open the door, walked to the bedside, and lifted the blanket.
A gust of cold wind blew in, and Xu Ningyan shivered again.
But soon, a warm glass water bottle was shoved in, and then the blanket was quickly placed over it: "Using this to cover your stomach will make you feel more comfortable."
Xu Ningyan obediently placed the glass water bottle on her lower abdomen; the warmth slightly eased the pain.
But my feet were still cold, from my thighs to my toes, they were icy cold, and it took a long time for them to warm up.
Seeing that Xu Ningyan was still curled up in a ball, Gu Zhiyuan asked, "Are you still cold? Or in pain?"
Xu Ningyan spoke in a trembling voice, "It's cold and it hurts!"
Gu Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment. The glass water bottle he gave Xu Ningyan was something she had gotten from the hospital with Lin Hong, saying that she would use it as a hot water bottle to warm her feet in the winter.
These IV bottles are in very short supply; you're lucky if you can get even one.
Where are we going to get a second one in the middle of the night?
But seeing how uncomfortable Xu Ningyan looked, he couldn't just stand by and watch, could he?
After thinking about it, he realized that although he and Xu Ningyan hadn't officially registered their marriage yet, they were already officially recognized as a couple, so going a little overboard wouldn't be a big deal.
Having convinced himself, he said, "A-Ning, don't worry, I will take responsibility for you!"
After saying that, before Xu Ningyan could react, he rolled onto the bed and began unbuttoning his shirt—
Xu Ningyan was dumbfounded. "Big brother, no, big boss, what are you going to do?"
Gu Zhiyuan unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his well-defined abs.
Normally, Xu Ningyan would have given him a second look, regardless of his status.
Now, with his stomach hurting terribly, Xu Ningyan simply stared at the screen, mainly to see what the big boss was planning to do.
Gu Zhiyuan unbuttoned his shirt, then pulled up the blanket covering Xu Ningyan's feet, sat cross-legged, placed Xu Ningyan's cold feet on his abdomen, covered them with the blanket, and leaned against the headboard with a completely open and honest expression: "Warming your feet!"
Xu Ningyan was deeply shocked.
Her expression of wanting to pull her foot back was completely unexpected.
It also transcends the current relationship between the two.
Even if they are siblings, they shouldn't be so close now that they're all grown up.
To her surprise, the moment she moved her foot, Gu Zhiyuan's hand moved as well, firmly gripping her ankle: "Don't move!"
Xu Ningyan struggled twice but couldn't break free, and she was too exhausted to continue, so she simply gave up.
I don't know if it was the hot water bottle on my stomach that worked, or the painkillers that finally took effect, or maybe it was because my feet started to warm up and my whole body started to warm up, but the pain in my stomach gradually began to lessen.
Xu Ningyan drifted off to sleep again, feeling a warm, cozy feeling all over her body...
When she woke up, it was already broad daylight.
I felt incredibly hot all over, and when I looked down, I realized I was covered by two blankets. No wonder I woke up because of the heat.
I got out of bed and found the thermos, which had gone cold, sitting neatly beside my bed.
She didn't even know when Gu Zhiyuan left.
Aside from a slight discomfort in my stomach and feeling a bit listless, the menstrual cramps I had last night disappeared just as suddenly as they came.
I tidied myself up and changed the sheets that had been soiled last night. I planned to clean the soiled areas first, and then wash them after she was completely healed.
After all, she knew the common sense that you shouldn't touch cold water during your period.
After leaving the room, Gu Zhiyuan was nowhere to be seen. Looking at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the morning; he must have gone to work.
The spot under the eaves where she vomited last night has been filled with wood ash and then shoveled away, leaving it clean.
The lackey didn't go out either, but stayed in the yard. When she came out, he wagged his tail and rubbed against her legs.
The commotion last night naturally alerted the lackeys, and seeing Xu Ningyan's still somewhat lazy appearance, they dared not leave her side for even a moment.
Xu Ningyan patted the lackey's head, intending to prepare some good food for herself to replenish her energy.
Upon entering the kitchen, I found soy milk and two large meat buns warming on the coal stove.
It must have been breakfast that Gu Zhiyuan left for her; it was clearly made by a master chef from a state-run restaurant.
Xu Ningyan was surprised by Gu Zhiyuan's thoughtfulness. Recalling the scene of Gu Zhiyuan warming her feet yesterday, she couldn't help but blush and her heart skipped a beat.
The boss's abs... *slurp slurp*
I never imagined that I would be able to measure the big boss's abs with my feet!
Amitabha! Last night, the big shot wasn't just a big shot, he was a living Bodhisattva!
No wonder he'll be able to grow big and powerful and become a big boss! Just look at his vision and his actions! If he doesn't become a big boss, who will?
Xu Ningyan sipped his soy milk and munched on a large meat bun, sighing with emotion.
Because she wasn't feeling well and was feeling listless, and since Gu Zhiyuan wouldn't be coming back for lunch, Xu Ningyan didn't bother cooking.
The sun came out, a gentle breeze was blowing, and Xu Ningyan sat under the magnolia tree in the yard, staring blankly at the sky.
The lackeys were chasing dragonflies and butterflies in the yard, enjoying themselves immensely.
When it was time to eat, Xu Ningyan took out a chicken leg from her spatial storage and tossed it to the dog's henchman. Only after watching it finish eating did she feel a little hungry herself.
I'm planning to find some porridge or soup in the space to tide me over.
Then the door creaked open, and Gu Zhiyuan walked in carrying a large earthenware pot and two lunch boxes.
Xu Ningyan looked up, and the two exchanged a glance, suddenly feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Gu Zhiyuan looked away, and Xu Ningyan lowered her head.
Gu Zhiyuan broke the silence: "Come on, let's eat!"
He placed the earthenware pot on the small table in the yard, lifted the lid, and a rich aroma of chicken soup with medicinal herbs wafted out.
Xu Ningyan smelled it; it was chicken soup with ginseng and astragalus.
She was familiar with this soup; in her past life, she would occasionally drink it to replenish her blood and energy when she had her period.
I didn't expect Gu Zhiyuan to know this too?
What's even more unexpected is where he got this soup?
Gu Zhiyuan went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl and chopsticks. He filled Xu Ningyan's bowl to the brim and put a plump chicken leg in it.
He handed it to Xu Ningyan with a reluctant "Eat it."
Then I opened the lunchbox; there was a box of rice and a box of stir-fried green peppers with pork.
Xu Ningyan took a sip of the chicken soup. The soup was rich and delicious, with a hint of sweetness. It was warm and comforting. After drinking it, she broke out in a light sweat, feeling very comfortable.
I couldn't help but ask, "Where did this soup come from? The cooking is really good."
A smile appeared in Gu Zhiyuan's eyes: "I asked the head chef of the state-run restaurant to help me stew it! Don't worry, drink it. If you can't finish it at noon, drink it tonight! I'll stew some goji berry and red date chicken soup for you tomorrow!"
Xu Ningyan was a little embarrassed: "It's not that exaggerated! This chicken soup is enough for today!"
Gu Zhiyuan interrupted her: "I've asked around. With your condition, the sooner you get treatment, the better! Otherwise, you'll suffer later! I don't know any doctors in the county. When we return to the capital, I'll take you to find a senior doctor I know so he can take your pulse and give you proper treatment!"
