Zhuang Liu wanted to go straight into the womenâs washroom, but he couldnât go in yet. What if there was someone else in the womenâs washroom? Others would think that he was a pervert.
âXiao Rou, do you have a stomachache? Wiry arenât you talking?â Zhuang Liu asked again.
Tan Rou had no strength left. She tidied up her clothes and struggled to get up to open the bathroom door. As she was a little dizzy, the door made a lot of noise when she opened it.
Zhuang Liu was very nervous. He shouted from outside, âIs there anyone in the womenâs bathroom?â
Other than Tan Rouâs voice, no other voice answered him.
Zhuang Liu quickly walked into the womenâs washroom and found Tan Rouâs location based on the sound. He knocked on the door and said, âRourou, whatâs wrong?â
Tan Rou didnât answer him. She just knocked on the door. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhuang Liu was very anxious. âStand back. Iâll kick the door open.â
The toilet was small. If Zhuang Liu kicked the door in, he would hurt Tan Rou, so Tan Rou could not let him kick the door.
âWait a moment, Iâll go out right away.â Tan Rouâs voice was very soft. From her voice, one could tell that there was something wrong with her body. âThe space inside is relatively small. If you kick the door, you will kick me into the wall.â
Even though Zhuang Liu was very worried about Tan Rou, he still did as she said. âOkay, Iâll wait for you outside.â
Tan Rou used her trembling hands to unlock the lock in the toilet. She regretted not bringing silver needles today. If she had, she could have inserted a few needles into her acupoints to reduce her pain.
When she finally opened the toilet door, Tan Rou had already lost all her strength. At this moment, she looked like she had just been fished out of water. Her entire body was soaked in sweat.
Zhuang Liu was worried sick and went up to hug her. âRourou, where are you feeling unwell?â
Tan Rou opened her eyes and said weakly, âMy stomach⦠It hurtsâ¦â
After saying that, she fainted.
Zhuang Liu kept calling her name and rushed her to the hospital. He did not alert the Tao family because today was Tao Zhi and Tian Tianâs wedding day. He could not disturb them. Besides, he was Tan Rouâs husband, so he could take care of her.
The doctor first asked about the situation and then carefully examined Tan Rou. The answer was that Tan Rou ate too little staple food and drank too many iced drinks and alcohol, causing acute inflammation. Zhuang Liu thought that they had woken up too early today and had no time to eat breakfast. At noon, because they had to toast, Tan Rou drank a lot of alcohol and iced drinks. He should have noticed this long ago.
The doctor gave Tan Rou an IV drip and instructed Zhuang Liu, âDonât eat anything spicy or cold for the next week. Donât eat raw food, especially marinated seafood. Have a soft diet for now. Donât take anything thatâs too hot too or else your stomach wonât be able to take it.â
Zhuang Liu answered one by one. âThank you, doctor.â
About half an hour later, Tan Rou woke up. She lay on the bed, and her stomach didnât hurt as much anymore.
âRourou, how are you feeling?â Zhuang Liu asked.
Tan Rou shook her head and smiled. âMy stomach doesnât hurt that much anymore.â
Zhuang Liu said, âYouâre suffering from acute gastritis. You probably didnât eat anything in the morning and ate too much cold food in the afternoon.â
Tan Rou felt that her body wasnât that weak. It wasnât to the extent that she would get acute gastritis after skipping two meals. Suddenly, she thought of something. âIt should be my period. During my period, my immune system will become weaker. Plus, I canât eat cold food before and after my period. Itâs been too hot these two days, and todayâs situation is special, so I forgot that I canât eat cold things before and after my period.â
Zhuang Liu blamed himself. âItâs all my fault. I donât even know when your period is at. Iâm incompetent. Xiao Rou, tell me your period. I will remember it next time.â
Tan Rou blushed. âThis is my own business. Thereâs no need for you to remember it.â
Zhuang Liu insisted, âNo, I must know! Fortunately, Iâm by your side this time. If Iâm not by your side next time, what will you do?â
Tan Rou wanted to say, âIt wonât happen next time.â But when she saw Zhuang Liuâs eyes, she couldnât bring herself to say it.
