Arc 5: Spring is Coming – 15

Shut Up and Go to Sleep

　　Due to Liu Chun’s anxious expression, Ke Li didn’t even have time to tidy herself and went to Xin Tu with her hair scattered. As a result, the atmosphere in the room was a little ambiguous.

　　As soon as Ke Li arrived, Xin Tu became extremely vigilant. As if she was coming to take advantage of her. Ke Li turned around and asked Liu Chun, “What’s going on?”

　　Initially, she guessed this incident was related to her relative visiting but concluded otherwise after seeing her.1They use relative instead of grandaunt or the other many references of periods The wound on Xin Tu’s shoulder oozed dark red blood, but her hand was clutching the quilt at her abdomen. Her teeth were tightly clenched and the blue veins on the back of her thin hand bulged. This wasn’t a simple cause of menstrual pain.  

　　“She was okay at first but when I wasn’t paying attention…she suddenly became like this. As if the water you spoon-fed her accidently spilled on her wound.” Liu Chun added hesitantly, “It’s unlikely that her menstruation came. Also, she wasn’t moody, right?”

　　Ke Li: “…”

　　This was her initial thought as well. But as the author mother, she never wrote about Xin Tu’s menstrual pain ah.

　　Ke Li saw that the wound on Xin Tu’s shoulder was shedding more blood, but Xin Tu was still moving because of the pain. Ke Li didn’t care about anything else. She stretched out her hands and held her shoulder, warning in a low voice: “Don’t move!”

　　Her warning was quite domineering like an overbearing president. Xin Tu suddenly resembled a frightened little white rabbit and didn’t move. But just when Ke Li loosened her hands, a warm object was pasted on her left shoulder without warning along with intense pain.

　　”…” Ke Li immediately bared her teeth and wanted to swear from the pain. However, when she opened her mouth, she couldn’t swear. Her shoulder was held captive by Xin Tu’s warm lips and teeth and her body was tightly hugged. Her bones felt it would break, but she could feel Xin Tu’s cold trembling body.

　　What’s going on?

　　“Liu Chun, go and get another quilt.” This discovery made Ke Li temporarily forget the fact that her left shoulder was being bitten.

　　She felt that what she was holding wasn’t a person but rather a piece of ice. She was so cold that she was shivering. After Liu Chun added another quilt, Ke Li felt more comfortable. However, this was a temporary cure rather than a permanent cure. Gradually, Xin Tu showed signs of lethargy.

　　Ke Li laid in bed with Xin Tu to comfort her then said, “Go and get Dr. Gu.” 

　　“Dr. Gu has gone out to the clinic. I’ll ask A’Da to find him.” Liu Chun said hurriedly and left.

　　The room was quiet for a moment with only the sound of Xin Tu’s chattering teeth. Ke Li thought for a moment and rubbed Xin Tu’s back.

　　She warmed her up with the friction from her palms then tentatively reached into the quilt. She wanted to put her hand on Xin Tu’s abdomen. But before she could reach it, she noticed that Xin Tu was stiff, and she was struggling with her hands. Ke Li whispered, “Don’t move. My shoulders hurt whenever you move.”

　　She said then exhaled sharply to match her image to her words.

　　Xin Tu’s mouth was still attached to Ke Li’s shoulder. Although they were separated by thin clothing, Ke Li wasn’t wearing “proper clothing” this time. The clothing wasn’t as thick as usual and didn’t act as a barrier at all.
