All afternoon, the ward was unusually quiet. The curtain was always closed, even when the doctor did his rounds in the afternoon. It was not until evening that Masnian's voice came from outside the curtain.
"I'll go out to buy some dinner in a moment. See if there's anything else you need here. I'll buy it for you too."
After Masnian finished speaking, he waited for a few seconds, but there was no response from behind the curtain.
Masnian thought for a moment and said again.
"I'm in."
After saying that, Masnian carefully opened the curtain. At this moment, Xiao Yingxi made a voice behind the curtain.
"Don't come in."
But it was too late to speak at this time. Masnian had already opened the curtain. Xiao Yingxi hurriedly covered her waist with the quilt, and she was about to get off the bed.
When Masnian saw this, he immediately ran over and carried Xiao Yingxi back to the bed. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yingxi blocked his face with a hand, lowered her head and said hastily.
"do not come."
Masnian frowned slightly, but when he looked down and saw the blood seeping out of the gauze bandaged on Xiao Yingxi's calf, he could no longer calm down.
Masnian bent down and stretched out his hand. Just as he was about to touch Xiao Yingxi's calf, Xiao Yingxi pushed him away excitedly again.
"I told you not to come over, don't you understand? Get out, get out."
"Xiao Yingxi, you..."
Masnian had scolded him just now and raised his head. His expression suddenly froze, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Xiao Yingxi felt a hint of embarrassment in the atmosphere, looked down, hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover her thighs, and shouted with some anger and some shyness on her face.
"Get out, you don't have to worry about my affairs."
Xiao Yingxi's angry voice recalled Masnian's embarrassing gaffe. This time, instead of leaning on Xiao Yingxi, he picked up Xiao Yingxi and put her back on the bed.
When Xiao Yingxi was about to speak again, Masnian spoke up first.
"Wait for me here. I'll go buy things for you. Do you want to buy some brown sugar? I remember that you used to have stomach pain every time. Has it gotten better in the past few years?"
At this time, Xiao Yingxi still had the nerve to speak. She really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. This aunt didn't come sooner or later, so she chose the most inappropriate time.
When Masnian saw Xiao Yingxi with her head buried in the quilt and silent, he didn't ask further questions. Instead, he closed the curtain and said something before leaving.
"Lie well in bed. You have loved wearing skirts since you were a child. If you want to keep this scar in the future, just do it."
After saying that, Masnian hurriedly left the ward.
There was a supermarket outside the hospital. After Masnian entered, he walked around inside first and then walked to the shelves of women's products.
It's just that this is the first time Masnian has bought this kind of thing in thirty years, and he is still a little nervous, especially after seeing various brands and specifications of sanitary napkins on the shelves, he has no idea where to start.
After Mas Nian came in, a clerk in the supermarket noticed him. Just because he had been acting sneaky since he came in, the clerk thought Mas Nian was going to steal something and kept waiting for Mas Nian to stand there.
After standing next to the shelves filled with sanitary napkins of various brands, the store clerk realized what was going on.
"Sir, I'm buying this for your girlfriend."
The clerk walked over. She had seen this situation a lot. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer men who can come out to buy sanitary napkins for their girlfriends and wives, especially the one in front of her who is so handsome.
Masnian was confused at first. Hearing the clerk's words, he nodded subconsciously, but then he wanted to shake his head and explain that he was not his girlfriend, but before he could speak, the clerk had already taken a pack of sanitary napkins from the shelf and started giving it to him.
Explained.
"This brand of sanitary napkins is very good. Do you want night use or daily use, thinner ones or normal ones?"
When Masnian heard this, he became even more confused. He didn't expect that women pay so much attention to monthly supplies for their aunts.
The clerk looked at Masnian's confused expression, smiled and said.
"It seems like this is the first time you buy it for your girlfriend. It's okay. You'll understand if you buy more in the future."
Masnian listened and smiled awkwardly, then looked around and finally said.
"Please help me choose. I want to buy the best one. I need it for day and night use as you mentioned."
When the clerk heard this, he smiled and nodded.
"Okay, then choose this brand. The price is a bit expensive, but everyone who has used it says it works well."
After that, Masnian, with the help of the clerk, directly bought seven or eight packs of sanitary napkins of various specifications. When he was about to check out, Masnian thought about it and asked again.
"Do you have brown sugar here? It's used to relieve menstrual pain."
"Yes, I'll get it for you."
The clerk said politely, and after that, Masnian hurriedly paid the bill and returned to the hospital.
As soon as Masnian walked out of the supermarket, the clerk who helped him pick things just sighed.
"This young man is so handsome. I wonder if the girl from that family is so lucky. From the way he is dressed, he must be a rich man."
In the hospital, after Mas Nian left, Xiao Yingxi was also obedient and lay down on the bed obediently. However, I don't know if she got caught in the rain this time. She felt more uncomfortable than every time she had her period, especially in her lower abdomen.
The pain was like a knife twisting her, and she could only lie curled up on the bed.
About half an hour later, the door to the room opened, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, and then Masnian appeared beside the bed.
At this time, Xiao Yingxi's face was not very good due to menstrual pain, and she was already weak. At this time, her face was pale, and her forehead was sweating. When Masnian saw it, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Faint worry.
"Luoluo, are you okay?"
At this time, Xiao Yingxi didn't have the energy to argue with Mas Nian. She had lost all her face anyway, so she closed her eyes and had no intention of talking to Mas Nian.
Seeing that Xiao Yingxi was silent, Masnian put down the bag in his hand, then pulled the quilt on Xiao Yingxi and said.
"I'll take you to the bathroom and change your clothes. I'll ask the nurse to come in and change the sheets later. The wound on your leg also needs to be treated again."
After saying that, Masnian tentatively picked up Xiao Yingxi. This time, Xiao Yingxi didn't resist. It's not that she didn't want to. She was suffering from abdominal pain and had no energy to do anything else.
Masnian carried Xiao Yingxi to the bathroom, carried all the sanitary napkins he bought in, and got her a set of clean clothes. When closing the door, he asked a little worriedly.
"Would you like a nurse to come over and help you?"
Masnian's response was only the ruthless sound of the door closing. Masnian shook his head helplessly, and then went to the nurse's station.
In the bathroom, Xiao Yingxi sat on the toilet, looking at a bag full of sanitary napkins, she couldn't laugh or cry. She could use so much for half a year.
When Xiao Yingxi had changed her clothes and was about to reach out to open the door, there was a knock on the door.
"Luoluo, have you changed? I'm coming in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bathroom door opened, and Xiao Yingxi sat on a chair inside, looking a little weak.
Masnian walked over, picked up Xiao Yingxi and walked back to the bed. After putting Xiao Yingxi on the bed, Masnian brought a cup of hot brown sugar water and handed it to Xiao Yingxi.
"Drink it while it's hot. This is the hot water bottle the nurse gave me. You put it on your stomach and cover it. If you still feel uncomfortable, I'll go find a doctor."
After saying that, Masnian lowered his head and glanced at Xiao Yingxi's injured calf. There was more blood on it than before, and he frowned subconsciously. Then, without saying anything, he left the ward.
After a while, Masnian and a nurse came in.
The nurse came over to help Xiao Yingxi re-treat the wound. Fortunately, it was only a small tear and the medicine was changed and everything was fine.
When everything was done, it was already dark outside. Masnian looked at the time, then looked at Xiao Yingxi who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and asked.
"What do you want to eat? I'll go out and buy it for you."
"casual."
Xiao Yingxi said weakly, and Masnian listened, sighed softly, and then left the ward.
When Mas Nian came back, it was already an hour later. Xiao Yingxi had fallen asleep while waiting, and she opened her eyes slightly when she heard the sound.
A dazzling light illuminated Xiao Yingxi's eyes and made it difficult to open her eyes. Then, there was the sound of Mas Nian's footsteps, and then, the aroma of food filled the air, which immediately aroused Xiao Yingxi's appetite.
"The ingredients here are limited, so I found a meal place and cooked some light dishes for you. This is porridge made with bone broth. I helped you up."
While talking, Masnian had already come to the bedside and helped Xiao Yingxi up.
A night of hot porridge and two light side dishes. Although they are packed in disposable packaging boxes, you can tell at a glance that they are not the ones made at restaurants outside.
Xiao Yingxi was so hungry that she didn't get into trouble with Masnian this time. She picked up the bowl and ate in big gulps. Only when she was halfway through eating did she think of asking.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"You eat first, I kept some for myself."
Masnian pointed to the cabinet outside the curtain. After Xiao Yingxi heard this, she lowered her head and said.
"You go and eat. You don't have to guard me. I won't make fun of my body."
After saying that, Xiao Yingxi started eating again. After Masnian heard this, she stood by the bed for a while and then walked outside the curtain.
After dinner, Xiao Yingxi lay back on the bed, slept for a while, and ate a bowl of hot porridge. Her abdominal pain was relieved a lot.
At this time, the mobile phone on the bedside table flashed. Xiao Yingxi took it over and looked at it. It was a text message from Gu Jinmo, asking how she was. Xiao Yingxi thought for a while, took a picture of the leftover food in front of her, and then
I edited a sentence and sent it.
After a while, Gu Jinmo sent another text message, telling him what they had done this afternoon.
