Aunt Chen gently stroked my head, her voice soft:
"Life will always have its ups and downs. If you can't solve it, don't force it. Just come back to us, okay?"
"You will always be my child. I hope you and Dong can be happy."
My cries echoed in the pavilion.
I sobbed and promised, "Aunt Chen, you will always be my family."
"I will never lose this home."
The next day, I had a fever at home.
I took fever-reducing medicine, but it didn't help; in fact, it got worse.
I forced myself to change clothes and prepared to go to the hospital.
At that moment, the phone rang.
It was my boss and senior, Gu Xing.
"Li Xuan, your proposal has been leaked."
"Pepsi Group has come up with a lower-priced proposal, and they even know our bottom line."
"This is serious. I've already sent someone to investigate; we will definitely catch the mole."
"This project is very important for the company; you need to come up with a new proposal as soon as possible."
I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.
In this condition, they wanted me to come up with a new proposal in three days?
" President Gu, are you trying to take my life?"
"If that's how it is, then I resign."
Gu Xing raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure? The bonus will double, plus my personal subsidy."
"Don't go too far."
Gu Xing laughed: "Alright, alright. You rest well today and come to the office to work overtime tomorrow."
"I want triple pay for overtime."
"You little girl, are you blinded by money?"
Gu Xing joked as he hung up the phone.
I arrived at the hospital and had just laid down on the bed when I heard the sound of the door opening. Standing at the entrance was Gu Xing.
Dressed in a black suit, he looked at me with a concerned expression: "How did you get so sick?"
"Running a fever?"
"I just came from the office and thought I would stop by to see you."
"Rest well today, and start working again tomorrow."
"Nurse, could you please give me a disposable cup? Thank you."
Gu Xing took the cup handed to him by the nurse and filled it with hot water before handing it to me:
"Drink some water, take a nap, and you'll feel better."
I took the cup and smiled: "Thank you, President Gu."
Gu Xing nodded: "Then you rest well; I'll be on my way."
" President Gu, about my overtime pay."
Gu Xing seemed annoyed by my remark, turning away with a dark expression as he left.
In the seat across from me, a young girl was clutching her stomach, her face pale.
She lowered her head, sweat dampening her hair at the temples, unable to straighten up due to the pain.
With a gust of wind came a figure; a boy placed his hand on the hot water bottle.
" Yun, does it still hurt?"
" Yun, are you okay?"
The girl shook her head and smiled: "I'm fine."
This scene felt somewhat familiar.
When I was in high school, my period was extremely painful.
That time, during the class meeting, I lay weakly on the desk, drenched in cold sweat. The homeroom teacher was speaking endlessly at the podium, yet didn’t glance my way even once.
At that moment, Chen Weidong stood up abruptly, disregarding everyone’s gaze, and rushed to my side. He held me and ran toward the infirmary. His hands were trembling.
“Xuanbao, are you okay?”
“Xuanbao, does it hurt a lot?”
“Xuanbao, just hang in there; we’ll be there soon.”
At that time, lying in his arms, I spoke softly, “ Dong, I’m fine; don’t worry.”
“ Dong, I really am fine; don’t be nervous.”
Chen Weidong didn’t care about anything else and dashed into the supermarket, lingering for a long time in front of the feminine products shelf. He picked up a pack of every brand of sanitary napkin.
He stood at the checkout counter with a bag full of items, his expression calm.
Chen Weidong, that was my youth; that was my support. But now, watching the warm scene between the girl and boy across from me, I felt a surge of self-destructive desire. I wanted to feel more pain, just a little more pain.
