She bought a few pregnancy test kits and tried to shove them all into her pocket, but she realized that she might be presumed as a thief. Therefore, she only held the pregnancy test kits in her hand as she wobbled her way to the checkout counter to pay for it. Along the way, she looked to her left and right, so she never noticed someone walking toward her when she approached the checkout counter. Just like that, she slammed into the person.
Crash! All the items in Yan’s hands fell onto the ground. She was completely shocked by the impact and because of her nervousness, she immediately dropped all of the items onto the ground.
However, the impact between the two of them wasn’t powerful, so she was fine. When she saw that everything was on the ground, she instantly squatted to pick it up before she heard a familiar voice coming from above. “Are you alright?”
This voice… Just as she was about to collect her stuff, she stopped right away. This voice seems like it belongs to… someone I know. Yan slowly raised her head and realized that it was Lin Xuzheng. However, he had lowered his head now that he helped her to pick up her stuff, so he hadn’t seen her.
He is picking up my stuff… As she looked at the items he was picking up, the blood on her face was drained of color. Before she could react, she threw away the things in her hands and ran off.
Lin Xuzheng came to the pharmacy to purchase some health products, but unexpectedly collided with a reckless girl before all of their items fell to the floor. The sound of items falling to the ground initially drew his attention. Then, he noticed that the reckless girl squatted to collect her items as if they were significantly important to her, yet now he had knocked them down to the ground. Therefore, he bent down with her to help her and he even greeted her.
When he picked up the item on the ground, he clearly saw what was written on it. His expression froze for a moment before his face stiffened. No wonder this girl is acting so reckless. The item she’s holding is actually a…
Before he even reacted to it, the reckless girl suddenly dropped what was in her hand and hurriedly dashed out. “Hey…” Lin Xuzheng tried to stop her, but he realized that she was running at a high speed as if she had rockets for legs. In mere seconds, she was gone.
What’s that for? Am I that scary? Lin Xuzheng frowned his eyebrows while he leaned over to pick up everything again. Suddenly, he thought of something as he squinted his eyes toward the direction the reckless girl ran to. Why do I feel that… her back looks a bit familiar? Where have I seen it before? When he stared at the pregnancy test kits in his hand again, he connected it to the reckless girl who ran away. Instantly, a smile crossed his thin lips. I think I’ve just discovered a secret.
“Sir, about these…” the cashier asked him awkwardly. The incident happened not far away from the checkout counter, so she had witnessed everything just now. With her bare eyes, she saw a girl running away because she was scared of this tall handsome man. Then, the man picked up a bunch of pregnancy test kits and smiled as he stood there. This is such a weird scene.
After Lin Xuzheng heard her voice, he came back to his senses and placed the kits on the counter. The cashier thought he was trying to return them to her, but just as she was about to put them away, he suddenly said to her, “Please take more of it and wrap it all up for me.”
The cashier was confused. Did I hear him wrong? Why did the man in front ask me to wrap it all up? What’s going on? “About that… I don’t think I heard you correctly. Sir, are you saying…”
Lin Xuzheng reiterated to her, “Wrap it all up.”
“But these…”
“That lady is my friend. I’m buying it for her.”
So that’s why. The cashier let out a sigh of relief before helping him to wrap everything up.
A few minutes later, Lin Xuzheng carried the bags and his car keys out of the pharmacy. Then, he gradually walked toward his car. In the car, he had a look at the nearby buildings. Isn’t the ramen shop right on this street? Looks like I need to go to the ramen shop.
After Yan ran away, she hurried back to the ramen shop without stopping. When she returned, Luo Huimei just came out with something and the latter was curious to see the former. “Yan? Why are you back? Didn’t you say that you’re going to the hospital? Why are you back so soon…”
“Mom, I need to go upstairs!” Yan left a few words for Luo Humei before rushing up the stairs. She was so quick that Luo Huimei couldn’t even catch up to her. “This little girl is really…” However, seeing Yan running this fast with anger, Luo Huimei reckoned that her daughter was fine, so she didn’t delve too deep into it.
As soon as Yan went upstairs, she locked herself in the room. Finally, she could sit down and catch her breath while her heartbeat raced. Surprisingly, I was able to meet Lin Xuzheng just by going to a pharmacy to buy something. It is fine if it was someone else, but it’s Lin Xuzheng! He is Han Qing’s friend and they have a good relationship! Did he actually recognize me? Will he report it to Han Qing? Yan was getting insane!
I was too reckless. The more nervous I get, the more mistakes I make. She then wailed before lifelessly lying on the table while gazing forward. What should I do? What should I do? Did he recognize me? How is this even possible? He went to the pharmacy at the same time as me and we both met each other in the end. Not only that, I even left the things I wanted to buy in there. I really am…
Meanwhile, Lin Xuzheng had arrived downstairs. After he parked his car, he brought the things inside with him. Luo Huimei was excited when she saw him coming. “Mr. Lin? How did you manage to have the time to come today?”
Lin Xuzheng felt uncomfortable being called ‘Mr. Lin’, so he rubbed his nose awkwardly and corrected her, “Mrs. Zhou, you can just call me Xu.” Lin Xuzheng and Han Qing were good friends and their relationship was as strong as steel. If Han Qing and Yan really became a couple in the end, his position was now the same as her, even though he was much older than her.
“Xu?” Luo Huimei rolled her eyes. “How can I call you that? You are—”
“Mrs. Zhou, you can just call me Xu. You are an elder. If you keep on calling me Mr. Lin, I won’t be able to handle it.”
“I see. Alright. Did you come to have some ramen today? Yan just hurriedly ran upstairs. I’ll call her to come down now.” After that, Luo Huimei cleared her throat and shouted upstairs, “Yan, hurry up and come down to work. Mr. Lin is here!”
Yan was lying lifelessly on the table when she heard her mother. Immediately, she stood up straight while her mind was completely alert all of a sudden. Lin Xuzheng is here? Why is he here? Did he recognize me? Is that the reason why he came over? She panicked and stood up while wondering what to do, but she soon returned to her senses. If he didn’t see my face when I escaped, how could he recognize who I am?
