Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1149

At this moment, Wen Xinya was lying down on the bed in the medical office, feeling an unbearable pain in her stomach which made her feel dizzy and uneasy. She would sometimes be sleepy and other times awake.

Si Yiyan sighed while sitting beside her.

After parting ways with Xu Zhenyu, he immediately asked a soldier for the whereabouts of the students from the design school, only to find out that they were already done with training for the day because they had gone out of the camp for training. He could not help but feel fortunate to have come at the right time. Had he been any earlier, he would have missed the chance to see Wen Xinya.

He gave Wen Xinya a call, which was answered by her roommate. He finally found out that Wen Xinya’s condition had relapsed because of the training that they had been through in the afternoon, and was receiving treatment in the medical office.

Si Yiyan could not describe the anger that he felt at that moment.

Xu Zhenyu failed to take good care of her.

As a man, he would never understand how she felt during the relapse. However, Wen Xinya had suffered a relapse when she was in front of him before. During then, she was as cold as ice and she shivered uncontrollably while breaking out in cold sweat. She was just like an injured animal, all huddled up and muffling in extreme pain which was concentrated in her abdomen.

For the past two years, Wen Xinya’s health had improved tremendously because of the proper care and nutrition she had been taking. Hence, it had been a long time since she suffered a relapse… He did not expect that the military training would trigger her relapse.

He could not help but regret letting her join the military training. Previously, Mrs. Tan reminded him not to let Wen Xinya take part in extreme sports during her menstrual period because of her condition. He had been keeping Mrs. Tan’s instructions in mind and initially wanted to remind Wen Xinya not to overexert herself during his visit this time. Yet, her period arrived a week earlier than expected.

While in a daze, she seemed to hear Si Yiyan’s voice but suspected that she had heard wrongly. However, she was then pulled into his embrace, and the familiar aroma of bamboo which she had been missing for the past ten-odd days wafted into her nose.

“Yan…” she murmured softly.

Si Yiyan grazed his finger gently across her pale face and exclaimed, “Xinya, I’m here!”

Despite being in a daze, Wen Xinya could still hear Si Yiyan’s voice clearly. It was different from the muffled voice that she heard in her dreams.

Si Yiyan helped her up and rested her head on his chest. “Open your eyes and look at me.”

This lass must be in so much pain that she can’t even think straight. She thinks she’s dreaming!

Wen Xinya opened her eyes and held Si Yiyan’s gaze. “Si Yiyan, I’m not dreaming, am I!?!”

Wen Xinya was certain that she was dreaming and perhaps even hallucinating because of the debilitating pain. Otherwise, how could she have possibly seen Si Yiyan? She thought to herself, I’m going through the military training program in the military training base camp. I heard that they’re very strict with training and outsiders are not allowed to enter at all. It’s impossible for Si Yiyan to show up here.

Si Yiyan chuckled and held her hand before placing it on her face. “You even dreamed of me. Seems like you really missed me!”

Wen Xinya was rather shocked to sense the familiar warmth in her hand. Actually, the temperature of all human bodies was similar. However, Wen Xinya could tell the difference between Si Yiyan and others. She could even distinguish the temperature of his body.

“Yan…” Wen Xinya seemed to have finally become much more clearheaded. She blinked while her vision began to get clearer. Upon sight of Si Yiyan’s face, she jumped in joy.

Si Yiyan held her hand which was clammy like he had expected. “Does your stomach still hurt?”

Previously, the doctor informed him that Wen Xinya had already taken painkillers. Although Si Yiyan felt that it was too casual of a treatment and was displeased by how hasty the doctor was, he could not deny that it was the most effective treatment for now.

Wen Xinya shook her head and said, “I’m feeling better now. It’s less painful than before.”

She indeed felt better, though it was still rather painful. The chilliness of her body made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Si Yiyan retrieved a box from his camo uniform and took out a brown pill, which he then fed to Wen Xinya. “Here’s a painkiller that helps with your period. Mrs. Tan prepared it for you.”

Due to the fact that he was afraid that Wen Xinya would suffer to much pain during the stressful military training program, Mrs. Tan made him bring her the pills that she had made using the Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs that Wen Xinya usually drank during her period. Although it would be less effective in the form of a pill, pills were much easier to carry around. To his surprise, he could put it to use so soon.

Wen Xinya pulled a long face in embarrassment. She had already gotten used to Si Yiyan being more concerned with her health than herself.

Not only did he serve her all her meals, but he would also sometimes prepare sanitary pads for her and even discuss its various brands with her.

To him, periods seemed to have become sacred, even though most men found them to be gross and taboo.

Noticing the blank expression on her face, Si Yiyan laughed and exclaimed, “Open your mouth!”

Wen Xinya opened her mouth and ate the pill.

Si Yiyan then fed her with some water. “Drink some water to wash the pill down.”

Wen Xinya swallowed the pill.

Si Yiyan took out another handkerchief and patted away the water droplets beside her lips. “Remember to take this pill once every two hours.”

Wen Xinya nodded and expressed assent before rubbing her face against his chest. She felt extremely at ease despite the cold and stiff fabric of the camo uniform.

Si Yiyan said, “I’ve already told the doctor to give you a medical certificate. For the next five days, you will be excused from military training. Remember to take care of yourself. I’ll get Mrs. Tan to bring you some soup every day.”

Si Yiyan obviously used his personal connections to get that done.

Wen Xinya immediately refuted. “That’s not too appropriate, is it? My cramps may be terrible this time, but I’ve experienced this before. It would hurt for at most three days. Feiyu has already helped me apply for a three-day medical leave. I’ll recover by the time the break is over. I’ll be able to resume training. You don’t have to send me soup every day, either. The food served here is not too bad.”

She would be attracting too much attention if she were to receive soup every day. She was there to undergo military training, not to be a pampered brat.

Si Yiyan said sternly, “Given your current condition, you can actually request to be exempted from the rest of the military training program.”

That means I don’t have a choice. Must he be so tyrannical…

Wen Xinya looked up at Si Yiyan.

The glow in her large eyes seemed to have disappeared together with the moisture. Her eyes were sunken into her eye sockets and she looked extremely pale and haggard. In fact, she appeared weak and gaunt.
