Dating After Divorce - Chapter 44
EPIB?
Luo Zhen was stunned for a while, the two thin eyebrows were slightly twisted, and the locked inside was full of confusion.
She had never heard those letters.
Sounds like a shorthand for some kind of complex drug.
Her heart was beating fast.
Even with the hand that Ning Rou held, there was a tremor uncontrollably.
Ning Rou felt the tremor, and raised her head quietly, before asking aloud, the tremor stopped immediately and disappeared instantly.
Everything is so normal.
The trembling under her palm just now seemed to be just her illusion.
Regarding those medicines, Luo Zhen did not continue to ask.
This kind of timely stopped inquiry made her feel that Luo Zhen only asked her about the needle out of curiosity.
Because as early as five years ago, Luo Zhen asked her this question more than once, but every time, she was perfunctory.
She actually wanted to say it, but she couldn’t.
Like tonight, that’s fine.
She did not reveal any information that would allow Luo Zhen to discover the truth, but she answered Luo Zhen’s confusion.
She thought that Luo Zhen would not bother to ask her about this again in the future.
It made her feel relaxed.
Just when she thought the topic of exchanging secrets was over, Luo Zhen’s fingertips gently stroked her arm.
“Does it hurt?”
The bodies of the two were very close, and their upper bodies were almost pressed together, with only two thin pajamas in between.
When Luo Zhen spoke, there was a faint heat on the side of Ning Rou’s neck.
She didn’t want Luo Zhen to worry, so she would shake her head subconsciously, but in the next second, Luo Zhen’s five fingers bent, and the cold palm of her hand again covered her forearm.
Holding it a little tight, she could feel the strength coming from Luo Zhen’s fingers.
It was a silent hint that she should not lie, that she should tell the truth obediently.
She understands it this way and does it.
The original shaking of the head turned into a nod first, then a shake of the head.
She looked at Luo Zhen, her eyes were still red under the pale white moonlight, and she looked more and more clear, translucent and innocent.
She didn’t lie.
“It hurt a little at first, but after that, it didn’t hurt anymore.”
Get used to the pain and ignore the pain.
Luo really understands this.
Her heart is messed up.
This was the first time she had touched Ning Rou’s past. Just knowing a little bit made her feel shocked and terrified.
She wanted to know more, but now was clearly not the time.
The arm under the palm is surprisingly thin, and there is almost no flesh to touch.
When the two first met, Ning Rou was very thin. After three years of marriage, she gained some weight.
After five years of separation, now, Ning Rou is even thinner than when she first met.
Her heart hurts a little.
Not only for Ning Rou before marrying herself, but also for Ning Rou after marrying herself.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and the two of them tacitly did not continue the topic.
Luo Zhen stretched out his left hand and let Ning Rou lift up her sleeve and apply medicine to her arm.
No one spoke, the room was silent.
Ning Rou lowered her head halfway, with some broken hair scattered on her cheeks. When Luo Zhen lowered her eyes, she could just see a white forehead and a slightly raised nose.
Every place is what she likes.
Thinking of those needle eyes made her heart feel a little more painful.
Subconsciously, he spoke his heart out.
“In the future, if you feel any discomfort, you must tell me, don’t carry it by yourself.”
The room was quiet.
Luo Zhen’s voice was not loud, but Ning Rou could hear it clearly.
Her gaze still fell on the thin white arm under her palm, and the movement of her hand did not stop.
But the heartbeat was inexplicably faster.
She wanted to agree, but hesitated in her heart again and again and again, bit her lip and nodded lightly.
“Um.”
Very docile response, soft, like an obedient little sheep.
Luo Zhen’s heart suddenly softened.
Her left arm, in less than ten minutes, was also medicated.
Ning Rou’s hands were covered with remnants of the ointment.
In the room, there is a faint wood fruit fragrance.
Luo Zhen was the first to go to the ground, holding Ning Rou’s hand again and taking the person to the bathroom.
The sound of turning on the lights sounded, and the light instantly dispelled the darkness.
Ning Rou squinted subconsciously, and when she opened her eyes, she and Luo Zhen were already standing side by side in front of the sink.
Through the mirror, she saw Luo Zhen turned on the cold water, put her right hand in the water and rinsed, then squeezed out a little green liquid from the hand sanitizer on the table, and foamed all her hands, from the palm of her hand, To the back of the hand, from the fingertips to the gaps between the fingers, every skin, every corner, is washed clean.
After washing the right hand, it is the left hand.
Still the same action, repeated silently.
No more than three minutes before and after, in the mirror, Ning Rou’s face was completely red.
Luo Zhen, do you think of yourself as Baby Ning?
She couldn’t help but think so.
Before I could figure it out, another cold and charming face appeared in the mirror.
“All right.”
“I’ll take you back to your room.”
The same cold voice as always.
Ning Rou’s face turned even redder.
But Luo Zhen didn’t see it, took her hand and turned around, walked out of the bathroom, and took her out of the room.
The two held hands and walked one after the other.
After a few steps, they reached another room.
The moment Luo Zhen let go, Ning Rou’s heart suddenly felt a strong sense of loss.
Her hands were empty, and so was her heart.
She saw Luo Zhen take out the room card, stick it on the door, and the door of the room was opened.
She knew she should go in, but she couldn’t move her legs—
She actually started to be afraid of separating from Luo Zhen.
On the promenade, no one was there, and there was no sound at all.
Luo Zhen pushed the door open and turned his body slightly.
The meaning of the hint is obvious, to let Ning Rou enter the room to sleep.
Ning Rou understood, but still stood there and didn’t move.
Her two hands were shaking slightly, and at a certain moment, she even wanted to hold Luo Zhen’s hand again.
The desire and expectation in her eyes are both suppressed and obvious.
Luo Zhen, who was standing by the door, saw it at a glance.
But she said nothing.
She now has more important things to do.
With a slight movement of his long arm, he pushed the door further open.
“It’s late, go and rest.”
Ning Rou didn’t move, the corners of her eyes were red, and her two soft lips were pressed tightly.
She just looked at Luo Zhen.
Ke Luo’s expression did not change.
Her expression became lost, aggrieved, and sad.
As if after a long battle, a few beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
After more than ten seconds, she chose to admit defeat, and she also chose to give up.
He just nodded, bit his lip, and lay back on the bed again by the light in the corridor.
Ning Baobao still slept soundly.
The door of the room was also gently closed at this moment.
Luo Zhen quickly returned to his room.
Almost as soon as I entered the house, I took out my phone and started searching for what EPIB was.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t find anything.
All entries about EPIB are blocked without exception. Occasionally clicking on relevant webpages also shows that they have no access rights.
So weird, what kind of medicine is this?
The more he couldn’t find it, the more anxious and uneasy Luo Zhen became.
She had no choice but to call Xiang Ting for help.
The woman on the other end of the phone obviously didn’t sleep either. In less than ten seconds, she connected the call.
“Miss Luo, it’s so late, what’s the matter?”
Xiang Ting was surprised.
She is Luo Zhen’s personal doctor, and she communicates with Luo Zhen the most, and it is also about her health.
Tonight, Luo Zhen asked her to consult her about the egg retrieval operation on WeChat, which surprised her. She felt even more incredible when she received a call from Luo Zhen at this moment.
“Doctor Xiang, have you ever heard of a drug called EPIB? You know—what is this drug used for?”
Luo Zhen’s voice sounded calm, but there was some anxiety in her tone.
Through the phone, Xiang Ting didn’t notice the slight difference.
However, she had never heard of the name EPIB.
“EPIB? Hold on, I’ll check.”
Luo Zhen was holding the mobile phone in his hand, and his face was nervous as never before.
She heard the sound of keyboard tapping from Xiang Ting, and soon she heard the answer she wanted.
“EPIB, the full name is Estrogen Potent Inhibitor Blocker, is translated as a potent estrogen inhibitory blocker. This blocker can effectively inhibit the estrogen in the human body while also promoting the production of male hormones. The effect is very obvious. , The damage to the hormones in the human body is very serious. As early as 20 years ago, it was listed as a banned drug by the International Federation of Drugs and must not be used on patients in clinical trials. At present, my country’s prohibition of this drug is higher than that of foreign countries. , all related entries are blocked.”
Why was the banned drug 20 years ago used on Ning Rou?
Luo Zhen’s mind was blank.
The cold air from the air conditioner was facing her back.
The temperature was very suitable, but she shivered.
It wasn’t until Xiang Ting’s voice came again that she regained some consciousness.
“Miss Luo, do you have anything else to ask?”
“Regarding EPIB, there is currently no research or experimental cases in China. That’s all I can find.”
There are zero related cases, which means that Ning Rou was injected with EPIB without anyone knowing.
Isn’t that-
An illegal experiment?
Luo Zhen’s lips pursed unconsciously.
A beautiful face is already pale.
She didn’t speak for a long time.
Just when Xiang Ting thought the phone was hung up, she finally let go of her lips and asked the next question gently.
“Since it’s a banned drug, is there any way for people in China to get this drug?”
Xiang Ting was stunned when she heard the sound, and it took a while before she responded.
“Of course.”
“Although it is forbidden on the bright side, it can be circulated behind the scenes.”
“It’s just that it’s not enough to have money, you need to have a strong enough relationship.”
The more he listened, the more Luo Zhen’s head hurt.
Thanking the doctor, she hung up the phone.
Then, standing in the cold air of the air conditioner like this, it blew for half an hour.
Her face was pale, and there was a deep sorrow in her eyes.
The more she knew about Ning Rou’s past, the more powerless she felt.
Vaguely, she seemed to be able to guess why Ning Rou refused to tell herself the truth.
She felt sad and a little in pain.
Thinking of Ning Rou’s gentle and calm tone when she talked about the needle’s eye, her heart couldn’t help but ache.
When he came back to his senses, he had come to the door of the next room.
Forty minutes have passed since he sent Ning Rou back to the room.
She knew that Ning Rou was definitely not asleep.
In Ning Rou’s eyes, there was a hidden resistance to separation and reluctance to part with her.
The throbbing caused by this resistance and reluctance is enough to make people sleepless until dawn.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she wanted to know what EPIB was, she would have been lying on the same bed with Ning Rou at this moment.
Come here now, is it late?
It’s never too late for a person who can’t sleep.
Luo Zhen stretched out his hand and knocked gently on the door.
In the house, there was a sound of light footsteps soon.
Then, the door was opened from the inside.
Seeing that it was Luo Zhen, Ning Rou’s eyes were full of surprise.
Her eyes are very bright, her expression is very energetic, and she can’t see any sleepiness.
Obviously, Luo really guessed and was right again.
The two stood across the threshold, silent for a few seconds, and finally Luo Zhen spoke first.
“I can not sleep.”
If Ning Rou is ashamed to open her mouth, then she is willing to be the one who takes the initiative, nibbling away Ning Rou’s love little by little, so that Ning Rou’s sensitive and closed heart can be completely opened to herself.
She’s not afraid of being slow, she’s just afraid that Ning Rou won’t be able to keep up with her pace if she walks too fast.
Love is mutual.
If it was Ning Rou, she would be willing to stop and walk slowly.
The lights in the hallway are still on.
Luo Zhen turned his back to the light, with a slight chill on his body, and a strong and gorgeous face that was even more beautiful in the shadows.
Ning Rou raised her head with confusion in her eyes.
Before he could ask, a soft pleading sounded in his ear.
“After taking the medicine, my arm still hurts.”
“I think, without your help, I’m going to lose sleep again tonight.”
“So, is it okay?”
help?
Ning Rou was stunned for a while, and it took a while to realize what this sentence meant.
In just a second, her face turned red.
