C14 (1/2)

She went back to her bed and disobeyed the doctor's orders. The pain from her wound caused her to roll around in the middle of the night, making her unable to fall asleep. Finally, she sat up and removed the gauze to take a look.

This kind of pain was no less than someone stabbing a knife into her wound. She couldn't sleep and wanted to ask someone to go get Zhu Guanliang, but she didn't want to cause such a commotion.

Zhu Guanliang was arranged to stay in the guest room, so Zhou Leping didn't want to trouble others, so he got up and put on his clothes to go find him.

Initially, she had thought that if he were to fall asleep, she would endure seeing more tomorrow. However, when she walked to his room, she discovered that the light inside was still on, so she went ahead and knocked on the door, ”Dr Zhu, are you asleep?”

Zhu Guanliang closed the book in his hand, and his gaze turned to the door, ”What's the matter?”

”It's me, Zhou Leping, you're … Is it convenient for you to look at my wounds? ”

He paused, then went to open the door.

Since she joined the army, she had not worn the clothes of a woman. This was also the attire of a man, and adding that there were some aspects where it was not particularly outstanding, and with the way she wore her hair tied up, Zhu Guanliang almost thought that the person in front of him was a man just from looking at her attire.

Zhou Leping himself, however, did not realize that something was wrong. Clutching his chest, his face was pale white, and he looked to be in extreme pain.

”It's so late, Dr Zhu still hasn't slept?”

Zhu Guanliang turned and invited her in, ”Waiting for the general.”

”Wait for me?” Zhou Leping asked, ”How did you know I would come find you?”

He said he would wait for her, but seeing that he was also wearing underclothes and his hair was dripping with water, it was obvious that he had just taken a bath and was about to go to bed.

Zhou Leping thought that she must have said this on purpose because she came looking for him and didn't want to leave him at his doorstep, hence he didn't want to make her feel guilty.

From the looks of it, Dr Zhu was really understanding.

Zhu Guanliang went to get the medicine box, and said while preparing the medicine, ”I told the general to not drink alcohol, but at such an important occasion today, it is impossible not to drink alcohol. I predicted that the general would be unable to fall asleep due to the pain, and thought that someone would summon me to change the medicine, but I didn't expect that …”

He looked at her. ”The general is coming.”

Zhou Leping laughed embarrassedly: I should be obeying the orders of the doctors, but I really can't push it off, and I didn't want to order people to make too much of a commotion in the middle of the night, that's why I came here, but I think that Dr Zhu is … Have you just taken a bath and prepared to sleep? ”
