However, as soon as the call connected, a muffled groan came from the other end, causing one’s imagination to run wild.
At first, I thought she was doing that kind of thing, and it was a sound of happiness.
But upon listening carefully, I realized something was off about that sound.
It wasn’t a joyful chant; it was a groan of pain!
"Miss Li, what’s wrong?"
"I... I feel terrible," Li Wenwan said breathlessly. "I... I don’t want you to care, hmm..."
Hearing this commotion, I didn’t know what to say.
Without thinking much, I hurriedly put on clothes and rushed straight to Li Wenwan’s home.
Although I didn’t know what was wrong, I knew she must be in great pain.
I didn’t think of taking advantage of the situation; I just wanted to help her.
Arriving at her doorstep, I climbed in through the balcony.
Looking closely, I saw Li Wenwan lying on the bed, curled up, covered in cold sweat, apparently in great pain.
I grabbed her wrist and started checking her pulse.
Soon, I determined that she had a problem with her stomach.
On the floor was a puddle of vomit.
I quickly laid her flat on the bed and started to massage her.
First, I pressed a few acupoints to alleviate some of her pain.
Slowly, her condition improved.
After a while, she could open her eyes. "Xiao Xu? How did you get in?"
I looked at her worriedly, "Miss Li, did you eat something cold tonight?"
"Actually, not much, just drank some cold water and had some watermelon or something."
"My stomach feels terrible, with waves of cramping pain."
"Earlier, I thought I was going to die. If you hadn’t come in time, I wouldn’t know what to do."
"What’s wrong with me? Will I die?"
Li Wenwan looked at me with worry all over her face, almost bursting into tears.
I chuckled, "It’s alright, although it hurts a lot, it’s not life-threatening."
"In the future, don’t eat these cold things, and anything from the fridge needs to be left out a bit before eating."
"Ah... I live alone, and sometimes I’m lazy, so I eat whatever is available," Li Wenwan sighed helplessly.
"Wait here, I’ll make you something to eat."
Saying that, I got up and went to the kitchen, using the few ingredients in her home to make a bowl of red date and red bean porridge.
"Miss Li, have some hot porridge; it will make your stomach feel a bit better."
"Red beans and red dates are good for women, so eat them often."
"Come, open your mouth."
I brought the spoon to Li Wenwan’s mouth and fed it to her directly.
Li Wenwan struggled to sit up, eating while looking at me with some embarrassment.
I knew she had never felt such warmth from a man before; even her husband probably wouldn’t be able to do this.
Plus, I came just in time tonight to help her, so she must be deeply grateful to me.
After finishing the bowl of porridge, her condition noticeably improved.
Her stomach pain wasn’t as intense anymore.
At this moment, I suddenly noticed a rubber toy beside her pillow, wet as if it had just been used.
So, was she doing that kind of thing alone before I arrived?
Seems like Wen Xiangyu was right; deep down, there’s a strong desire for that kind of thing.
Li Wenwan clearly noticed my gaze, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment, tightened her lips, and couldn’t look at me directly.
After a long silence, she said guiltily, "Um... Xiao Xu, women, you know, sometimes feel lonely, but it’s not like I do it often..."
"You can understand, right?"
"Of course, of course..."
I nodded repeatedly. Although I said so, I knew she often did it.
But it’s not appropriate to say more on such matters, pretending not to know is the best way to avoid awkwardness.
Worried that she might kick me out later, I quickly stood up, "You rest for now; I’ll clean up the kitchen a bit."
Saying this, I picked up the bowl and left quickly.
After a while, I brought in a cup of hot water for her.
"Miss Li, feeling better now? Have some hot water."
"Tomorrow, I’ll get some herbal medicine that aids digestion for you; you really need to take care of your stomach."
