Capítulo 133: That’s Not Sickness

Finishing her practice with the sword, Jun Hua stays idle for the rest of the day. Staying inside her room, she reads the book and does anything she can to amuse herself and to forget about the annoying Soujin, who chooses to bother her this morning. Her grandfather antics had made her forget about him slightly, but it's not enough.

The next day, Jun Hua slipped out from the residence much to her grandfather annoyance.

"Miss…" Xia wants to cry. Her miss is probably the most problematic lady in the entire kingdom. She never heard of any young miss from other family slipped out from the most guarded room without any notice. Not even the guard knows where she goes as she just suddenly disappears from their view.

The only thing Xia can do now is telling the truth to Jun Zhenxian. The old man too cannot follow the girl and he would just give up searching for her anymore.

In truth, Jun Hua didn't go that far. She only slipped out from the residence towards the nearby forest in the Southeast direction. Because this is the forest she always passed through when she was going to the border, she is quite familiar with the place.

Walking through the forest, Jun Hua stopped near a small lake. This is her favorite place because she can soak her feet on the water. It feels so good and the relaxed atmosphere in this place is suitable for her to sleep. No, she won't sleep outside since there might be people coming and all.

Jun Hua looks around as her feet are still inside the water. Looking from here, she can see the hill Soujin showed to her the day before. The location is not that far and if she wants, she can go there. She doesn't have any intention to go there though since she didn't wear any veil today.

"Hmm… why is my body feels weird today?" Jun Hua frowned. When she wakes up this morning, she had been feeling a little off. Although she didn't feel anything different, she feels that her movement is not as sharp as usual. Does she sick?

Jun Hua put her hand into her forehead. She doesn't have any fever, but it is possible that she might have different sickness.

"Hey look, there is a woman there."

The voice from behind caught her off guard. Although the voice is faint because the distance is far, she knows that her clothes are quite eye-catching because of the color. With her face, it would be better not to meet with anyone. Wearing her shoes again, she was about to walk away when she noticed that Soujin is standing not far from her.

"Soujin…?" Jun Hua eyes widened. It seems her sense had dulled because of her weird sickness. She feels that her stomach is starting to hurt, making her frowned at the strange feeling. She didn't remember eating anything strange today, only the usual. Why her stomach acted up?

Soujin looks towards Jun Hua with arched eyebrows. The stunning look on Jun Hua face makes him remember the time on the battlefield. His lips curled up as he asks, "What are you doing here, Little girl?"

"I'm strolling around."

"This place is quite far from your residence. Did you walk by yourself?"

"I'm with my brother, but I told him to go first because I want to enjoy the lake."

With his keen eyes, Soujin notices that Jun Hua feet are wet. It seems the girl is content with her action of slipping away to enjoy the lake, though he's quite sure that her grandfather might be angry at her for going away.

He's about to ask her why she suddenly stands up when he realizes the reason. He can sense that there are several people coming here and with Jun Hua face, if someone were to see it, it will bring numerous trouble. In this era, being pretty is a sin.

"Can you walk?" Jun Hua's complexion is not good, so Soujin ask carefully.

"I'm fine this morning, but my condition suddenly worsened," Jun Hua frowned. Even she didn't understand what is happening with her body. She suddenly cannot control her body very well and it makes her feel really stupid.

Soujin didn't say anything more as he come near Jun Hua and scooped her into his embrace. The faint sweet smell from her body caught him off guard. He wonders whether every girl smell really good like this.

Jun Hua is obviously startled at Soujin action. However, given that her body is not feeling that well, she doesn't have any energy to resist, so she stays quiet. Still, she feels rather embarrassed for staying in his embrace.

Moving his feet, he brought her away. The people in the forest are stunned because the girl suddenly disappears.

"Is that a ghost?"

"Why are you asking me?" his friend said with a frown, his body quivered in fear. If there is really a ghost here, that would be really problematic.

Somehow, from that day, there is a certain story about how a ghost of a woman would appear in the lake, making people wary when they passed through this part. However, for Jun Hua, she only notices that the people who pass through in the future lessen, which makes her happy.

Soujin didn't bring Jun Hua too far. He only takes her to the place near the backdoor for Jun Family residence. The area he chooses is quite deserted and she can easily go home without worrying about people seeing her. Putting the girl down, he found out that her face had turned red.

"Your face is red, are you sick?"

The redness is from being embarrassed, but Jun Hua would not say it to this man, "Maybe… I'm not sure."

"You better rest in your home for today," this girl is really reckless to go out with her body condition not fully fit. Because of Jun Hua feeling uncomfortable, she found her feet unstable, so Soujin still hold onto her hand.

"Wha… what does General Soujin do in that area?" Jun Hua chooses to change the conversation as she tries to stabilize her feet on the ground.

"I'm walking around. Didn't I tell you that I go to the hill sometimes?"

Soujin didn't go every day, but he likes to go there. This time, he strolled around after finishing his usual work load due to his body cannot practice for some time.

By coincidence, he sees Jun Hua from the top of the hill and decides to meet with her again. Although they have just met a few times before, he still wants to meet with her.

"You do, thank you for taking me here, General Soujin," Jun Hua expressed her thanks.

When she turned around, Soujin looks towards her back for a few seconds before remarking, "You don't have to worry about your condition too much. You're not sick."

Jun Hua turned her head with a confused look, "How do you know about my condition?" Soujin is not a doctor from what she remembers. It would be different if the one saying it is Ming Hui because he is indeed a doctor and she would rather believed him rather than Soujin when it comes to illness.

"Just a guess," Soujin answered after a short pause before departing away. He still wants to walk around because he had to stay idle for the next few weeks. The wound is making him extremely annoyed. Somehow, he remembers the girl once again before a smile carved its way to his face. The girl has grown up.

Before long, he focused his attention back to his surroundings. He shouldn't think about that little girl anymore. She is only his best friend sister.

Jun Hua didn't understand what made Soujin so sure about it. She returns to her room and say her thoughts to Xia. Xia immediately turned Jun Hua body.

"Miss, you're now a woman," Xia said excitedly.

"What?" Jun Hua didn't understand. After a long explanation from Xia, she finally understands why her body feels uncomfortable and her stomach is hurting so much. However, remembering Soujin, heat rise up to her cheeks. That man must have known about it, how embarrassing.

"The first time will be feels most uncomfortable because Miss had never experience it before, but you will soon get used to it, Miss," Xia smiled.

Jun Hua frowned. It seems like she will be having a hard time to pass off as a man in the future. Her body already starts to develop into a woman. She feels that her puberty come quite late since she already turned 15 just a few days before. Nevertheless, it's quite convenient for her to have it late.

Jun Hua sighed when she thought that she had to experience this every month….
