Chapter 750 - Whatever was Cut would Eventually be Long (1/2)
Shen Wei walked over and coughed lethargically. She pulled the blanket over from Xia Ruoxin, lay down, and fell asleep in no time.
After some time, Xia Ruoxin woke up from the pain in her stomach. She felt stickiness in her pants, and it was weird why her stomach was so painful.
Carefully, she stood up, hugged the toilet paper, and went to the toilet not far away. Just like her on the ship, she could smell the smell of the toilet from faraway. However, this was much better than the ship as it was not a big container filled with poop, but a real toilet instead. Also, they were all girls so there was no difference between the men’s and the ladies’. When she walked in, she hugged the toilet paper in her hands and squatted down slowly, pressing on her stomach tightly and endured the pain about to exit.
It was her first time experiencing this pain.
It was excruciating.
She tolerated it to the best that she could and tried not to let herself cry. In the end, she still cried in pain; and the tears fell from the corner of her eyes, drop by drop.
After a long time, the pain subsided a bit before she dragged her lethargic body back and climbed back to her spot.
“You cried?” Shen Wei’s voice sounded.
“Yes.” Xia Ruoxin did not think that it was embarrassing. She turned around and faced the wall to sleep.
“Shen Wei, do you think we can still leave this place alive?”
“Who knows?” Shen Wei closed her eyes and breathed gently. They could hear people snoring from time to time; they were all tired and perhaps numb, too. Their lives had become finding gold every day; other than finding gold, there was nothing else. They had become finding gold machines thoroughly, but Xia Ruoxin did not want to and was not willing.
She still wanted to go home.
In a daze, she slept again but still tossed and turned from time to time. The pain in her stomach subsided sometime but hurt on others, which tortured her until she broke out in cold sweat. The clothes on her body got wet, became dry… wet then dry again. She turned around the whole night and did not sleep at all.
In the morning, someone came over to hit the door. They got up when the sun just got up, and without tidying up, they just went out the way they came in. However, Xia Ruoxin still had to tidy her hair.
“You still care?” Shen Wei laughed at her. “You still care about these things now? What are you thinking?”
“Not particularly.” Xia Ruoxin straightened her shirt, even though this shirt had not been washed or changed out of. “I just want to live like a person and not forget who I am. It’s that simple.”
Yes, it was really that simple.
She wanted to remember that she was a person, not a machine.
In the morning, the weather was cold—about ten degrees; but in the afternoon, it was almost forty degrees. Xia Ruoxin walked into the water barefoot, and the cold water had almost crept into her bones.
