Chasing the Light

Chapter 11: Menstrual period

Views:

Han Dong leaned against the door of the clinic, took out a cigarette and just lit it, the door opened, and Dr. Mu came out. When he saw Han Dong lighting a cigarette, he immediately scolded him, "No smoking here."

"Yes, yes." Han Dong apologized with a smile and quickly put out the cigarette.

"Sister-in-law, how is she?"

Mu Xiaolan threw two big sanitary balls at him and scolded him, "Now you care about me, but what were you doing before? It's right to be strict with the soldiers, but you also have to consider the menstrual period of female comrades!"

Han Dong was confused: "Period... Menstrual period?"

"Look at you, you don't know anything. I just said that you should find a wife. You are almost 30, but you are not willing to accept someone I introduced to you. Let me tell you, your mother called me again. No matter what, you must find time this weekend, and I will take you to meet someone." Mu Xiaolan said as she sat down and filled out the medical record.

Han Dong was in a dilemma. How did Su Ran's illness get linked to the issue of blind dates

"Sister-in-law, you see, I just took over this recruit class, how can I have the time? How about next time? I will definitely go next time." Han Dong smiled and started to delay the process.

Mu Xiaolan snorted: "There's no point in running away. If you don't have time, I can send someone over. It's settled."

Han Dong thought to himself, De'er, it looks like I have to find a place to hide away this weekend.

"I checked Su Ran. She has poor blood circulation and severe dysmenorrhea. She must rest well in the next few days and avoid strenuous exercise."

"yes."

"I'll prescribe some painkillers for her later. She should pay attention to her diet and avoid spicy, raw or cold food."

"yes."

Han Dong felt something strange, as if he was a husband taking his wife to see a doctor and the doctor was giving him all kinds of instructions.

When Han Dong was leaving the infirmary, he ran into Li Wei and Liu Yayi who came to visit him.

"Instructor, is Sister Su Ran okay?" Liu Yayi asked as soon as they met.

"It's okay, but she's not awake yet. She's on an IV. You can go in and see her."

Han Dong sent Liu Yayi away and said to Li Wei, "First teach everyone how to tidy up their rooms in the morning, then take them to visit the exhibition room, and then go to the Martyrs' Cemetery in the afternoon."

"Captain, why did you change the plan? Isn't this a daily training?"

Han Dong pointed to his head and said, "If you don't solve your ideological problems, no matter how hard you train, it will be useless."

Li Wei agreed and responded loudly: "Yes."

Han Dong frowned: "Keep your voice down, this is the infirmary, there are patients inside."

Su Ran opened her eyes and stared at the white walls around her for a while before she realized that she was in the infirmary and she had fainted from running.

She was feeling a little depressed because she hadn't been able to complete her task and had also been a burden to others.

How would he see her? He would think she was the worst person who was backward and always made mistakes!

The door opened, and a female doctor in her thirties wearing a white coat walked in and said with a smile, "Wake up!"

"Um!"

"Next time you have your period, you can explain the situation to the instructor. Don't just hold on. Your menstrual cramps are a bit serious. You must take it seriously, otherwise it will be very troublesome in the future."

Su Ran nodded, but she felt helpless. In her job, she really couldn't take care of so many things. The whole crew was waiting. Can you say I won't shoot during my period? She had to go into the water when she needed to, and she had to get wet in the rain when she needed to.

"Captain Han asked you to go to his office after you wake up." Mu Xiaolan said.

Su Ran felt better at first, but when she heard this, she suddenly felt worse again.

The last person she wanted to see right now was the Great Devil.

After asking about the location of the big devil's office, Su Ran went there reluctantly. When she arrived at the office door, she hesitated for a long time and just didn't want to knock on the door.

She was still feeling fragile and hadn't adjusted yet. She really didn't want to see his ugly face or be scolded by him.

The doorman opened the door, and Han Dong came out with a thermos. When he saw her, he frowned and asked, "Why didn't you knock on the door?"

In fact, he had seen her wandering into the building a long time ago, and he waited for a long time but didn't hear any knocks on the door. He thought she was not in good health and was dizzy and couldn't find his office, so he came out to check, but he didn't expect that the woman was standing at the door in a daze.

Su Ran lowered her head and said nothing.

"Come in." Considering her poor health, Han Dong was magnanimous and didn't care about her mood.

Su Ran entered the office and closed the door behind her.

"Sit down." Han Dong pointed to the chair opposite and asked her to sit down.

He asked her to sit down, so Su Ran sat down. It was more comfortable to sit and listen to the lecture than to stand and be scolded.

Han Dong opened the thermal box on the table, took out two buns, an egg and a bottle of milk and placed them in front of her.

"eat."

Su Ran looked at the food, a little surprised. Was he feeling guilty and wanting to make up for his negligence, or did he want to wait until she was full before scolding her

"I can eat in the cafeteria." Su Ran didn't want to accept his "kindness."

"Do you think this cafeteria is just for you? They'll prepare food for you whenever you want? Don't you see what time it is now?" Han Dong said sarcastically.

Su Ran pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Eat, this is an order."

It was so simple and crude. Is this how soldiers solve problems? Su Ran picked up the milk silently and found that it was hot.

It's already past nine o'clock and breakfast in the cafeteria has long ended. Has he been keeping her breakfast warm

"You don't have to be touched. I just don't want you to faint from hunger again. Then you'll say that the army doesn't sympathize with female comrades and doesn't even let you eat." Han Dong said.

Su Ran almost choked. Damn it, which eye of yours saw that I was moved? You are being sentimental.

"Instructor, can you wait until I finish eating before you talk? Otherwise, I'll wait until you finish talking before I eat."

Han Dong: Uh…

It was the first time that Han Dong was blocked by someone and was speechless.

This woman is so capable that she actually dares to turn the tables.

Forget it, since she behaved well today, I'll forgive her this time.

Han Dong stopped talking, picked up a newspaper he had already read and pretended to read it, but he couldn't help but glance at her out of the corner of his eye.

The sunlight shines through the clear window onto her, as if a layer of golden light is coated around her. In the halo, she lowers her head slightly and eats breakfast slowly, with a focused expression and elegant manners...

This scene reminded Han Dong of someone. He and she lived in a military compound, in the same school but not in the same class. Every Saturday afternoon, he and his friends would play basketball and he would deliberately pass by her window. She would always sit there quietly doing her homework. When she saw him, she would smile. At that time, the sun was warm and her smile was gentle.

Later she left the compound, and he was lost for a while. The budding thoughts of youth were strangled in the cradle. Over the years, he was busy with training and carrying out various tasks, and never thought about his secret love that ended before it even began.

"I'm done eating, instructor, you can talk!"

His thoughts were interrupted, and Han Dong came to his senses, seeing her sitting there upright, looking attentively.
