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? "
"I just bathed." He took out the small medicine bottle, and indicated for Zhou Leping to take off his clothes, "But I don't plan to sleep yet."
Zhou Leping glanced at the book on his table, it was titled "A Review of All Disease Sources" and couldn't help but sigh, "Dr Zhu is still reading the medical books at such a late hour, in fact, you don't need to work so hard. My face is not a day or two away, I have long gotten used to it.
She wanted to take a look at the book, but before she could, Zhu Guanliang said, "General, please open your arms."
Zhou Leping gave up on the idea of going for the books. He opened his arms, turned his face to the side and his ears started to turn red.
"On another day, I will have Qu Tan come over to learn how to bind the wounds from Dr Zhu. After all, men and women are different, so it isn't too good to trouble Dr Zhu."
"The general is only a patient in my eyes."
"I know, I know."
She explained quickly, as if she was afraid that if she was too slow, it would seem that she had come in the middle of the night with some ulterior motive.
"Besides, doesn't the general himself care a lot about this?" He sprinkled some medicinal powder on her wound and said slowly, "If you didn't know that men and women were different, you wouldn't have come looking for me like this."
"I .." She did not feel guilty, but the moment she opened her mouth, she started stuttering, "I .." It was painful, but I forgot to change my clothes. "
At that time, she didn't even have the strength to lift her arm. Firstly, she wanted to make it easier to bandage her wound, and secondly, she seemed to have forgotten that she was a woman and that she was involved in some emergency military situation in the military camp. She didn't have enough time to report back to the military.
Only now did he realize that, as a woman, entering a man's room in the middle of the night while wearing undergarments was indeed not very dignified.
Zhu Guanliang's face did not show any expression, he helped her clean the wound, changed the medicine, and started to bandage her again.
The two of them were very close, when Zhou Leping looked down, he could smell a fragrance coming from Zhu Guanliang's body, it was very light, and every time he wanted to take a deep breath, the smell would disappear.
"Dr Zhu, what kind of pancreas are you using? The smell is pretty good. "
Zhu Guanliang tied her up with a knot and poured two pills into her hands, not replying, "This pill has a pain-relieving effect, after taking it, it will let the general sleep well tonight."
She swallowed the pill, put on her clothes, and walked to the door. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and said, "I was just curious, there's no other reason. Dr Zhu, don't worry too much."
