Chapter 230: Chapter 230

Li Xianglu was restless all afternoon, only managing to eat one mantou with meat sauce, whereas she would usually have three.

Lin Dongxue and Tian Tian had not returned yet, and people were gradually coming back to the dormitory. Anna and Iro returned together, and after tidying up, no one went to the study hall. Everyone quietly read and studied in the dormitory.

At ten o’clock, the door finally opened again; it was Xu Xin. Li Xianglu didn’t know why, but she breathed a sigh of relief. However, Xu Xin’s expression was off; her face was extremely pale.

Xiao Chong noticed as well and asked concernedly, "Xu Xin, you look terrible. Did you get too cold outside?"

Xu Xin forced a smile, her-hand uncomfortably covering her stomach, then shook her head, took off her shoes, and lay on the bed.

Everyone thought she was just tired, so they didn’t speak. However, Xiao Chong, concerned, looked over and exclaimed in surprise, "Xu Xin, there’s blood on your buttocks!"

What? Everyone looked over, and Xu Xin also reached down to touch it, only to find her hand was wet. She quickly stood up and explained to everyone’s puzzled looks, "My period came, I didn’t notice it."

Everyone nodded in understanding, and Iro, showing concern, said, "I’ve boiled some hot water that I won’t be using; you can use it to wash."

Xu Xin was particularly pale and could barely smile. She thanked them and bent down to get the basin from under the bed. But when she tried to stand up, her body suddenly fell towards the ground. Wang Ke, who was closest, was startled and quickly caught her, but it was still a step too late, Xu Xin’s head had already hit the floor.

Several people hurriedly helped her onto the bed, and only then did everyone notice that Xu Xin’s pallor was abnormal. Anna glanced at Iro and saw a complex expression on her face.

Li Xianglu found it strange. Xu Xin’s menstrual pains had never been this severe before. Sometimes, touching cold water would require her to drink some brown sugar water, and she would be fine quickly.

Iro was the first to speak, "Xu Xin, I think you should go to the hospital."

Xu Xin’s eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened wide. She became somewhat panicked and tried to sit up, waving her hands and shaking her head, "No, no, I’m fine. I’ll be okay if I lie down. I just got up too quickly and felt a little dizzy."

Iro looked at Lu Anna with a complex expression, and both of them frowned.

Seeing her in severe pain, Li Xianglu hurriedly offered her own brown sugar, which you had to buy with vouchers at that time, so everyone rarely had any. Li Xianglu had more because of the Overseas Chinese Store, and her family had quite a few Foreign Exchange Vouchers. Every visit, she would buy some to stock up.

However, after making a large cup of it, Iro shook his head, "She can’t drink this now."

Not understanding why, everyone saw that Xu Xin had changed her clothes and cleaned up but still lay down pale and drowsy.

Li Xianglu had no choice but to divide the large cup of brown sugar water among everyone to have a sip.

Just then, Tian Tian and Lin Dongxue pushed the door and came in.

Everyone was even more startled. The two looked very disheveled; their woolen coats were all soiled, and Lin Dongxue had to be supported as she walked with a limp.

Li Xianglu hurriedly got down from the bed to help Lin Dongxue but heard a sharp intake of breath just as they made contact with her arm.

Li Xianglu, frightened, dared not touch her. Lu Anna also hurried over in her clothes and asked, "What happened?"

With an embarrassed expression, Tian Tian said sheepishly, "We went to Xiangshan for fun, but we fell down. Dongxue pushed me, but then she rolled down the slope and ended up with bruises all over."

Li Xianglu’s eyes widened as she looked over. There was a bruise on Lin Dongxue’s lips and a mark on her forehead as if she had been struck by a heavy object. It didn’t look like injuries from a mere fall at all.

But everyone didn’t suspect, they all quickly got up and helped the two fetch water, Xiao Chong even voluntarily gave up his lower bunk to let Lin Dongxue, who had twisted her ankle, stay there.

Even though she was injured, Lin Dongxue still frowned at the sight of other people’s bedsheets, driving Tian Tian almost crazy.

Li Xianglu also knew she had this problem too, she would never sleep on someone else’s sheets unless they were freshly washed.

So, she quickly tiptoed over to Lin Dongxue’s bed to grab a folded clean sheet, swiftly helped her make the bed, then Xiao Chong helped change the comforter.

Lin Dongxue felt somewhat embarrassed and wanted to say thanks, but the pain at the corner of her mouth made her just nod at Li Xianglu.

On this side, Tian Tian hurriedly fetched some cold water to help Lin Dongxue wash up and change her clothes before going to sleep.

Meanwhile, Tian Tian washed up quickly, and by the time she entered, the lights were already out.

Li Xianglu lay in bed when it suddenly occurred to her, what about that document? Would Tian Tian miss it?

But the lights were out now, all she could do was wait for dawn.

But dawn didn’t come, everyone had already woken up.

At some point around 2 a.m., Iro ran to the dorm supervisor to turn on the lights in their dorm, claiming that someone was sick.

When Li Xianglu got up, the lights were already on, and Lu Anna was sitting at the bedside looking at Xu Xin.

Li Xianglu hurriedly scrambled to put on her shoes and ran towards Xu Xin, only to find Xu Xin with her eyes tightly closed, covering her abdomen with both hands in unbearable pain.

Beside her, Xiao Chong, with his sleepy eyes, asked in surprise: "It’s just menstrual pain, how can it hurt so much? Could it be something else? Could it be appendicitis?"

Li Xianglu’s eyes also widened, seeing the dorm supervisor arrive, Iro had to call for Lu Anna.

Anna went out and explained the situation to the dorm supervisor. Before she could finish, they heard Iro scream, then stared unbelievably at her own right hand; she was just sitting beside Xu Xin’s bed after Anna left, her hand resting on the bed, how could there be so much blood.

It seemed like Li Xianglu understood something, she quickly said aloud: "No, we need to go to the hospital, everyone get ready, except Lin Dongxue and Tian Tian who are injured, stay in the dorm. The rest should divide tasks, Xiao Chong, quickly change your clothes and pack Xu Xin’s things."

At this moment, the dorm supervisor and Anna came in upon hearing this, Li Xianglu blinked and said: "Iro accidentally bumped her head just now, we are thinking of taking Xu Xin to the hospital, she seems to have appendicitis."

Appendicitis, no wonder the pain woke everyone up, it’s an emergency. The dorm supervisor heard and contacted the security department to arrange transport to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Lu Anna said: "Xiao Xiang, we need to bring Xu Xin’s boyfriend, it’s essential that he’s involved too."

At this time, Li Xianglu was confused, it was all so sudden, and several girls quickly got dressed and left with Xu Xin, who was already clothed.

Tian Tian, Lin Dongxue, and Wang Ke were left behind, in case they needed to deliver anything.

A duty male officer from the school’s security department helped carry the person, hearing it was appendicitis, a serious condition, they couldn’t just go to the campus clinic, so they requested a vehicle for transfer to a larger hospital.

Lu Anna then used the security department’s phone to call home, asking her father’s secretary to alert the military hospital.

ps: I’m falling behind in updates, I’ve accounted for it, last month’s owed updates were already late, so currently, the updates are for this month.
