Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Ou Ming went downstairs again, he found Yu Lili slouched on the couch. Her face was horrifyingly pale. Cold beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her lips were turning a shade of greenish-purple.
Was it really alright for her not to go to the hospital when she was in such a state?
Ou Ming scratched his head, suddenly feeling a little panicky. After giving it some thought, he picked his cell phone up and dialed 120.
“Hi, this is 120…”
The pain was making Yu Lili dizzy. When she heard Ou Ming dial an ambulance, she almost laughed. “Hey, what are you doing…” she asked.
Ou Ming ignored Yu Lili. After thanking the operator, he hung up the phone.
When he came over to her, Yu Lili reached her hand out and thumped him limply. She protested coquettishly, “It’s just period cramps. Why did you call the ambulance? That’s making a mountain out of a molehill.”
“Shut up and lie down quietly.” Ou Ming reached out to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead. “It’s so serious. It’s not some illness is it? Could it be that it isn’t period cramps? How can period cramps be this severe?”
Yu Lili leaned on him good-naturedly with a laugh and wrapped her hands around him. “Illness, my foot. Period cramps are really common in women.”
“Really?” Ou Ming asked.
“Yeah…” she replied.
Ou Ming didn’t know whether to believe her or not. He untangled himself from her gently and said, “I’ll help you brew a cup of brown sugar soup. Wait for me.”
“I didn’t buy brown sugar.” Yu Lili’s statement shattered his intentions. “I don’t have the habit of drinking that.”
Furthermore, Ou Ming didn’t like sweet foods, so she hadn’t prepared it.
Ou Ming felt his temper rise, but he reined it back in. He reached out and gently stroked her abdomen as he asked, “Does it still hurt very badly?”
“Yes.” Yu Lili closed her eyes and leaned back. “But, it’s not as bad as it was just now.”
Ou Ming took a deep breath and called his friend. The call went through very quickly. “You don’t have to come anymore. I’ve called the ambulance,” Ou Ming said.
“F*ck! I’m already on my way,” his friend replied.
Ou Ming hung up the phone and placed his hand on her abdomen again, “Can I rub it?”
“No,” Yu Lili said.
“Well… there’s blood inside,” Ou Ming said. “Perhaps if I rubbed it, it’ll help with the blood flow and won’t hurt anymore.”
What sort of logic is that? Yu Lili laughed good-naturedly. “When you hurt your head back then and it caused a bruise, did rubbing it help?”
Ou Ming had no reply to that. He could tell that she was very obviously in pain, so he didn’t dare tease her any further. He just sat quietly by her side.
Yu Lili closed her eyes and drifted in and out of consciousness. After more than 10 minutes, the sound of the ambulance siren could be heard.
When the medics arrived at the scene and realized that the patient was suffering from period cramps, they were stunned speechless. After they saw the state she was in, they got to work quickly.
At the hospital, Ou Ming requested a single ward. Yu Lili looked a lot better after she was hooked up to an IV. She was in the middle of a deep sleep when she finally remembered something very important.
She opened her eyes and saw Ou Ming keeping watch by her side. Her heart warmed up as she called out, “Ou Ming.”
“Yeah?” he replied.
“Aren’t we supposed to go back to your parents’ place to offer them tea?” she asked. “Are we going later?”
It was an important matter. If Ou Ming had promised it the day before, they had to carry it out. Although she knew that Ou Ming’s mother had plenty of prejudices against her, at the very least, she wanted to maintain whatever was left of her image.
Unexpectedly, when Ou Ming heard the question, his expression turned unhappy. “Not anymore.”
