Chapter 532: Chapter 526: Take the Rest with You If You Can’t Finish It Chapter 532: Chapter 526: Take the Rest with You If You Can’t Finish It So in the end, she did pull back the quilt and sit there in a daze, not knowing how long she’d zoned out, fiddling with the drugs she’d bought herself.
The medicine actually served some purpose.
She used some, gave some to Lin Yile and Li Jia, and yes, she also had to bring some to Gu Ning.
They were all out and about every day.
Gu Ning’s hands were free of frostbite, but his feet weren’t.
Everyone is made of flesh and blood.
Who’s really different from whom?
The difference between getting frostbitten or not depends firstly on one’s constitution, secondly on habit, and thirdly, it’s simply a matter of fate.
But generally speaking, everyone’s the same because we’re all human beings.
Tang Yuxin planted her face on the table.
When people have time to spare, they start reminiscing about things.
But many of these memories often seem unwarranted.
Life is short, time is short.

Every second that passes is one less second alive.
Who has so much spare time to waste?
People are born different, equal is not.
In her previous life, she was an oddity.
In this one, she planned to live her life to the fullest, and that meant not wasting a single instant of it.
At noon, she went out again to buy the herbal medicines she’d got the day before.
Then she hunkered down in her dormitory for three days, boiling, shaking and simmering them until she eventually made a kind of grayish ointment.
This ointment, despite its unappealing color, was all-natural, the product of her painstaking efforts.
It was based on an old tried recipe.
She had many such recipes, and this one was one of them.
This was top-quality Frostbite Medicine, purportedly originating from the royal palace of some long-gone dynasty.
Could anything the emperor used be inferior?
She’d seen and tested this medicine’s efficacy firsthand.
It was superior to all other frostbite ointments currently on the market.
She applied some to her own fingers and feet.
The medicine felt slightly cool to the touch.
The swelling and pain subsided almost immediately.
This ointment reduced swelling, stopped itching and also acted as a painkiller.
It also contained antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
It didn’t require any dressing.
She’d added a few extra herbs to the concoction so it didn’t have a strong medicinal smell.
Instead, it gave off a pleasant, light and comfortable fragrance.
She’d spent three days holed up making this medicine, neglecting everything else.
She ate whatever was at hand and drank some water when she was thirsty, losing track of the time.
It was the sound of knocking at the door that brought her back to reality.
“Who is it?”
Tang Yuxin got up and opened the door.
Once she went to open it, she couldn’t help but smile.
“Uncle Gu, are you here to treat me to some meat?” She patted her stomach, “Good timing, I’m hungry.”
Gu Ning was still in his suit, tall and straight, standing exceptionally upright.
Such discipline was truly rare.
Their habit of doing so was certainly uplifting.
Gu Ning came in and set the bag he’d been carrying on the table.
“This is for you.”
Tang Yuxin scurried over and opened the bag.
It was filled with snacks, all of them scrumptious and Gu Ning had brought her an entire bagful.
Tang Yuxin loved these snacks.
She still had several unread books and half a month of holiday to go.
She could take the time to finish them all.
If she paired them with these snacks, life couldn’t get much better.
Excited, she stored all the snacks in her cupboard.
With this lot, she had enough supplies to last her for quite a while.
“Let’s go,” Gu Ning turned around and walked towards the door.
“To do what?” Tang Yuxin was still thinking about the snacks when Gu Ning said “let’s go”.
She was momentarily puzzled.
Maybe she had hit her head when she fell into the trap, or perhaps the cold had frozen her brain.
But surely, her tailbone was the one that’d hit the ground, and her face was what got frozen.
“Didn’t you say you were hungry?
I’ll treat you to some meat.”
Gu Ning took out his meal card from his pocket and playfully shook it in the air, “Pearl Jade White Jade Soup.”
“Definitely, let’s go,” Tang Yuxin sprinted over in a few steps and snatched the meal card from Gu Ning’s hand, “I don’t want tofu soup, I want meat.”
Gu Ning raised his eyebrows,”So, you finally admit it’s tofu now?”
Tang Yuxin slid the meal card into her pocket, “It used to be Pearl Jade, but now it’s tofu and glass noodles.
What I want now is meat.”
After she finished talking, she went back to get her coat and put it on.
Gu Ning was already waiting outside.
He really was tall and handsome, just looking at his back was enough to make anyone extremely jealous.
Not to mention his handsome face, his tall stature and well-built body.
It’s true that some people are just inherently better than others.
By the time they arrived at the security company across the street, there weren’t many people there.
To be frank, the cafeteria there was excellent.
Eating there was almost akin to enjoying a pleasant experience.
Even the cafeteria in their hospital couldn’t compare to it in terms of delicious food.
However, the rules were really strict there.
Even Gu Ning himself had to line up for his meal.
This time, Tang Yuxin truly ate meat.
She ordered several dishes, all of which contained meat.
A lot of meat.
It filled the entire table.
“Can you finish it all?”
Seeing all the dishes on the table, Gu Ning was worried about Tang Yuxin.
Of course, he wasn’t worried about her wasting food.
Even if she ordered ten tables worth of food, he wouldn’t be concerned.
He was just worried about her overeating and making herself sick.
“If I can’t eat it all, I can take it away.”
Tang Yuxin had already thought of this.
She picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of meat, and blissfully put it into her mouth.
She wasn’t afraid of not being able to finish these dishes.
If she couldn’t, she’d just ask to have them packed.
She could have them as supper today, and then as breakfast tomorrow morning.
She really craved meat.
She wanted to eat meat.
She wanted to grow stronger.
“Alright then,” Gu Ning didn’t know what else to say.
He picked up his chopsticks and ate at a moderate pace.
His meal manners were praiseworthy.
A soldier with manners like his was indeed a pleasure to behold.
“Uncle Gu, did I save your life again?” Tang Yuxin took another bite of meat.
She was content, so naturally, her heart was as well.
“Yes,” Gu Ning raised his eyelids and looked at her.
His deep black eyes were like a vast ocean, full of limitless tolerance.
Otherwise, he couldn’t have put up with that kind of woman in his previous life, the woman who nearly cost him his life.
Isn’t that so?
Tang Yuxin asked him once more.
“Yes,” his acknowledgement this time was definitive, without any questioning overtones.
That meant he agreed with Tang Yuxin’s assessment.
She had indeed saved his life.
But to be more precise, Tang Yuxin hadn’t only saved his life.
She’d saved two injured people’s lives.
