Chapter 66 - Berated Like A Dog

Yu Bao’er brought a Tupperware of food into the infirmary.

Seeing that Gu Qingjiu was awake, she immediately sat at her side. With a concerned expression, she asked, “Is it still hurting?”

Gu Qingjiu shook her head. It wasn’t as awkward talking to Yu Bao’er about it, but she still pulled a bitter smile. “I’m alright now. I didn’t expect such a bad cramp that I even fainted. I must have scared you.”

Any person would be shocked if it happened in front of them.

Yu Bao’er scanned Gu Qingjiu up and down. After recalling what had happened earlier, she shuddered but quickly calmed herself after. “You did scare me a little.”

Yu Bao’er had never seen any other girls in a situation like this.

“I bought you some porridge. You haven’t eaten anything since morning. Are you hungry?”

As Yu Bao’er spoke, she opened the Tupperware, revealing a delicious smelling porridge.

At least the food from the recruits’ canteen was not that depressing.

But little did Gu Qingjiu know, Yu Bao’er bought them from the second floor, which was more expensive.

“I’m a little hungry. Give me a while to go to the toilet.”

She went to the washroom to tidy herself up. After she got out of the toilet, she wasn’t as hungry. But catching a whiff of the porridge, her appetite came back.

There were benefits to fainting, she supposed. After all, her pain only lasted for a quick moment before it transitioned into nothingness.

Now that she was awake, she only felt a minute discomfort in her stomach.

As Gu Qingjiu sipped on the porridge, Yu Bao’er was both curious and worried as she asked, “Why does your abdomen hurt so badly? I have friends who have cramps too, but theirs were never as serious as yours. Do you want to get it checked at the hospital?”

“It’s no use. I’ve been there. I just have to pay attention to it,” Gu Qingjiu softly shook her head. She then continued, “I know my body best. The doctor mentioned that my constitution’s weak ever since I was a child. Hence why I have serious cramps. I was idle and lacked training too, thus it grew much worse. This time, however, I strained myself from training hard and that made it hurt so bad. Doctor Nan mentioned that it would get better in my next period, though.”

Yu Bao’er nodded, understanding only bits and pieces of it. She asked, “Is this a result of your weak immune system when you were younger too?”

Gu Qingjiu nodded. “That might be the case as well.”

When she was adopted back then, her adoptive father used to say that she frequently fell sick because she had a weak immune system.

There was even a time when they thought she wouldn’t make it.

But after much worrying, she grew up and her situation turned for the better.

Although her constitution still wasn’t that strong, it wasn’t as weak as it was before.

For an adoptive family to do their best to care for an adopted child with a weak constitution, it showed how well they treated her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Oh...”

Yu Bao’er nodded her head, but it was unclear whether she understood or not.

Seeing that Gu Qingjiu was doing better, she said in a pitiful tone, “I don’t understand your pain, but you have to take care of yourself in the future.”

Gu Qingjiu chuckled. “Alright, I get it.”

Reminded of something, Yu Bao’er’s expression cracked. “My parents are coming in tomorrow.”

It slightly startled Gu Qingjiu. “For them to come over, won’t the instructor let that incident pass?”

“Pass my ass! The instructor said that he wanted to meet my parents no matter what so that I can swear on my words. They’ll definitely berate me like a dog tomorrow!”
