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.
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.
