Chapter 63: Fainted Because It Hurt Too Much
They finally held out through the week’s training.
Weekends meant rest time for them.
Yu Bao’er excitedly talked to Gu Qingjiu about how they would wake up early in the morning to explore the village nearby and purchase some things which they could use at the same time.
It was hard for Gu Qingjiu to wake up in the morning.
Even if it had been a week, she was still not used to waking up so early.
When morning came, tiredness sagged through her as if someone was pressing down on her.
Her stomach churned like hell as if someone was punching it. She could feel a massive pain in her organs as well.
The pain had cloaked her entire body. She had wiped the medicine on her body yesterday, shouldn’t the soreness get a little bit better by then?
She struggled not to get up, but Yu Bao’er’s calls woke her.
“Qingjiu, Qingjiu.”
You Bao’er’s voice whirred beside her ears. Gu Qingjiu pressed her lips together tightly and struggled to open her eyes, only to see Yu Bao’er’s worried expression as she stood by her bedside. “Qingjiu, wake up. Are you feeling unwell?”
Not only Yu Bao’er, but even Feng Meiyun and Jiang Yu were also standing by her bedside, face pale as they looked at her.
Gu Qingjiu struggled to sit up with the support of a hand, but the pain only aggravated further and that allowed her to confirm that the origin of it was her abdomen.
“I...”
She didn’t even want to talk.
The pain was tiring her immensely.
She had an idea of its cause.
After forcing herself to stand from her bed, she struggled to go to the toilet.
One look and as expected, Aunt Flo came for a visit.
Gu Qingjiu finally recalled that she used to have very serious cramps.
Whenever she got her period, it would always be a miserable day.
It was the kind of pain that made her feel like she was dying. She rolled around, hating that she couldn’t just end her life.
The misery was enough to drive one suicidal.
If it wasn’t for Qi Yuefeng finding a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the future who provided her with a recipe that required her to make use of a rare herb from some mountain. Drinking the said medicine for a month, showed some signs of improvement.
But this time around, because she entered the military, Qi Yuefeng had yet to have the time to find the doctor.
Because of the high-intensity training she had received over the past few days, her period seemed aggravated more than the usual.
When she came out of the toilet, she could only feel chills running through her entire body. Even cold beads of sweat formed on her forehead. As her legs lost strength, she supported herself against the wall.
“Qingjiu, Qingjiu, what’s wrong?”
Yu Bao’er’s sounded a little choked.
Gu Qingjiu wanted to say that she was okay but couldn’t manage it in the end. Struggling to even move forward, she finally and forcefully said, “I’m okay, Aunt Flo just came for a visit.”
Yu Bao’er understood what she meant in an instant. “Those are period cramps?”
But she had never seen anyone who suffered from such serious cramps. “Oh my god, do you need some medicine? I will make you some brown sugar water, but there isn’t any brown sugar here.”
Yu Bao’er became more anxious upon the mention of it.
Seeing Gu Qingjiu’s ghastly face, Jiang Yu couldn’t bear it and advised, “I’m sure there will be painkillers in the infirmary. Take one to hold on for now?”
“That’s right... I, ah!! Qingjiu!!!”
While Yu Bao’er was talking, Gu Qingjiu could only feel a tightly strung string in her head snapping into two. An unbearable pain rampaged through her that her vision darkened, and she fell straight onto the bed.
She fainted because it hurt too much!
