Chapter 368: – Warm Guy Wu Min
On Friday, Lin Jin came to school with a pale face.
She frowned, feeling a stabbing pain in her lower abdomen. As soon as she got to class, she slumped over her desk, clutching her stomach with her hand and softly groaned.
So uncomfortable.
The pain wasn't too severe, at least not as bad as some of those girls on the internet talking about their period pains. But the pain was at least still comparable to the pain of talking about their period pains, but it was still comparable to the pain of stomach flu. Just the way it hurt was slightly different.
"What’s wrong?" Wu Min yawned as he sprawled over the table, looking sleepy as he asked Lin Jin "You look awful, stomach ache?"
"Period," Lin Jin flatly said.
"What?" Wu Min wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. What girl talked about their period so casually?
"Period, it really hurts." Lin Jin pressed her forehead against the desk and hopelessly said. "Yesterday afternoon was fine. But as soon as I got up today, it hurt so bad I could barely walk."
"Ask for a day off?" Wu Min said with concern. "Or go to the nurse's office to get it checked?"
"Mm, I’ll check it out after this class ends."
Wen Xuan skipped class today. Anyways, she didn’t see him even when attendance was being taken. Lin Jin was a bit surprised, Wen Xuan was considered the best student in their dorm. Even though he was always addicted to games, he was more dedicated to his studies than Lin Jin and Wu Min. Unexpectedly, he would also skip class.
"He seems to have been up late gaming last night." Wu Min saw the confusion in Lin Jin’s eyes and explained "He probably didn’t go to bed until three or four in the morning. Who knows when he actually fell asleep."
"Is that so?"
Lin Jin clutched her stomach, not in the mood for class. Lying on her desk, she listened to the teacher's lecture and the lively conversations of her nearby classmates. While she was sick and felt miserable even just talking.
"How about I go to your apartment and take care of you for a bit?" Wu Min worriedly looked at Lin Jin next to him. That pale complexion of hers was really unsettling. "I could help you get some food and stuff. At least it’d be better than you being alone in your apartment where no one was there to collect your body even if you died."
"Can’t your mouth say something nice?"
Due to the pain, Lin Jin’s mood didn’t fluctuate much. As long as his emotions were excited even a bit, she would feel the pain in her abdomen flare up.
After four hours of class, Lin Jin was already sweating from the pain. But the class was two long sessions back to back, and the teacher was also evil, not even giving a break. This caused Lin Jin, who had originally planned to go to the nurse’s office, to continue lying on her desk, playing dead.
Playing dead was a bit more comfortable than standing up. It still hurt, but at least it wasn’t as intense. Wu Min beside her also didn’t know what he should do and could only anxiously watch over Lin Jin’s condition.
Finally, when class ended, Wu Min hurriedly helped Lin Jin to the nurse's office on the first floor of the teaching building.
"It's just menstrual cramps. I'll prescribe you some painkillers. Make some soup when you go back, add some goji berries or something to warn your body." The teacher in the nurse’s office wasn’t the same one from last semester, this teacher looked older. She took a hand warmer from the cabinet and placed it on Lin Jin's lower abdomen. "Take this with you, rest more these next few days."
"Okay."
Since it was already summer, the hand warmer wasn’t actually charged. Lin Jin just took the medicine in the nurse’s office, drank some hot water, and then went back to her apartment with Wu Min’s help.
"I don’t know how to make soup," Wu Min brought Lin Jin to her bed then scratched his head in confusion "I’ll help you charge this hand warmer..."
Only at this time did Wu Min realize him coming over didn’t really do much. Seeing Lin Jin lying on the bed with her whole body curled up yet unable to help, made him feel a deep sense of helplessness.
"How about I order you a bowl of porridge?" Wu Min suddenly remembered a restaurant on the delivery app that specialized in porridge. He immediately lowered his head and started to place an order for Lin Jin. "What's your address here?"
"No need, I think? I feel much better now."
Maybe it was because he drank some hot water, or perhaps the medicine had started working, but Lin Jin felt the pain in her lower abdomen had eased a lot. At least it wasn’t as bad as before where she was sweating from the pain.
"It's fine." Wu Min casually placed the order. "Just quickly give me the address, or I'll have to go down to pick it up."
"Alright, alright."
Lin Jin actually didn’t feel like eating anything. Yesterday, she had a bit of an appetite and wanted to eat something, but today she didn’t want anything at all. She just wanted to cover her stomach, hide under her quilt, and have a good rest.
Wu Min was a really considerate guy, at least that’s what Lin Jin always thought.
He could be considered to be quite good at taking care of people. Before, when she lived in the dorms, Wu Min always looked after her. Lin Jin felt that if she ever really wanted to find a boyfriend, it would have to be someone like Wu Min who knew how to take care of others.
Liu Shengqi was also this type, but he was a bit too clingy, which made her annoyed.
Being taken care of felt pretty good. Lin Jin curled up on the bed while Wu Min started busying himself, wanting to help Lin Jin do some more. Stuff like sweeping and mopping the floor was just the start. He even helped Lin Jin wash the winter quilt that hadn’t been washed yet. He also helped her clean the dishes and chopsticks that were tossed in the sink from yesterday night’s dinner. It was said that Lin Jin these days couldn’t touch water, so if he could help, then he would help out a bit.
Lin Jin gave up after trying to persuade him a couple of times. Anyways, it was Wu Min who was busy, not her.
The pain in her lower abdomen gradually eased, especially after using the hand warmer. Her lower abdomen felt much more comfortable.
"Oh right, don't you find it weird living alone in such a big place?" When Wu Min passed by Lin Jin’s bed while sweeping the floor, he casually asked "If it were me, I definitely couldn’t live alone in such a big place. It feels weird and too empty."
"It is a bit uncomfortable," Lin Jin nodded. "I'm considering if I should find a girl to share the apartment with. That way, I can make some money too. The rent is paid by my mom anyways."
With her abdomen feeling much better, Lin Jin's mood also lifted and there was finally a smile on her face.
"You're quite the sly one," Wu Min shook his head and chuckled, then continued to help Lin Jin finish the housework.
Being taken care of felt nice, but Lin Jin wasn't used to relying on someone for everything. It made her feel like a paralyzed patient. Wu Min even wanted to help feed Lin Jin when drinking water, as if she had no hands or feet and had become a vegetable.
"Once you're done, you should go back. I can manage on my own," Lin Jin sighed lightly, seeing Wu Min coming into her bedroom again to hang her quilt on the balcony. "It’s not like I have no hands and feet."
"That works. When the porridge arrives, I’ll leave after seeing you finish it." Wu Min nodded. It was indeed tiring taking care of someone like this, but it was basically the same as when he used to take care of his ex-girlfriend during her periods.
"Okay."
Lin Jin turned over and pressed the hug pillow beside her against her stomach, her fale still pale as she watched Wu Min busying about.
This person was also a warm guy…
