Chapter 89: Chapter 88: Buy One Get One Free, Do You Believe It?
Hearing Moo Xi’s unexpected remark, Li Chen felt quite embarrassed.
For a moment, he really didn’t know how to answer this question.
Li Chen didn’t speak, and naturally, Moo Xi didn’t continue either. Both of them remained silent, staring at each other like a confused tortoise facing a green bean.
Suddenly, the room was as still as the silent embrace of death.
After a long stare, Li Chen finally said in a low voice, "I’m physiologically and psychologically fine, I’m just not interested in you, that’s all!"
Hearing this somewhat self-esteem damaging comment, a trace of disappointment couldn’t help but surface in Moo Xi’s bright eyes.
She casually uttered an "oh" and turned her little head away, posing like she would no longer bother with him.
The clear glass reflected her exquisitely carved face, flushed red like a ripe apple in May, filled with a heartwarming fragrance.
Moo Xi reached out to touch her own cheek and thought to herself: Am I really that unattractive?
Moo Xi, who always had so much confidence, began to seriously doubt her figure, her face, and her personal charm for the first time.
Just as Moo Xi was questioning her life choices, Li Chen suddenly came over and reached out a hand to touch her forehead.
Moo Xi tried to dodge subconsciously, but Li Chen caught her in one swift move.
"Stop it; your forehead is still a bit warm. The fever hasn’t subsided yet!"
Moo Xi looked at him with a puzzled face, blinking her moist, bright eyes, staring blankly at Li Chen.
Li Chen handed her a cup of hot water, with a slightly scolding tone, he chided, "Why do you, a young lady, drink so much alcohol?"
After listening to Li Chen’s scolding, instead of being angry, Moo Xi felt a warm current inside, sweet and satisfying.
Was he showing concern for her?
Wait, that’s not right. Why am I so happy about his concern?
Moo Xi, oh Moo Xi, since when have you become so spineless? It’s just a man, is it really worth this much fuss?
As Moo Xi’s thoughts wandered to the Nine Heavens, Li Chen handed her a cup of hot water.
"Drink this cup of hot water first. I’ll take you home later."
Moo Xi pouted her lips, humming arrogantly.
"Hmph, you said you weren’t interested in me, so why do you care?"
Li Chen raised an eyebrow, asking, "Are you going to drink it?"
Moo Xi shook her head very decisively and said, "No!"
Seeing Moo Xi’s firm attitude, Li Chen also didn’t persist, nonchalantly saying, "If you won’t drink it, then forget it. It’s your body anyway; it’s none of my business!"
"That hateful guy, you... Hmph, you’re making me so mad!"
Moo Xi clenched her teeth, pounding the bed board with a thud.
...
After leaving the hotel, Li Chen saw a pharmacy across the street, so he asked Moo Xi to wait at the door while he went inside to buy medicine.
Standing in front of the pharmacy counter was a tall girl dressed in a nurse’s uniform, probably in her mid-twenties, quite pretty.
Seeing Li Chen and Moo Xi coming out of the hotel opposite and noticing Mo Xi’s flushed face, she already understood what was going on.
So without waiting for Li Chen to speak, she expertly took a box of medicine from the counter and handed it over.
Li Chen was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Hey girl, I haven’t said what medicine I want to buy yet, have I?"
The saleswoman didn’t directly answer Li Chen’s question, but instead asked him casually.
"You two just came out from the hotel across the street, right?"
Li Chen nodded, replying, "Yes, is there a problem?"
The nurse smiled playfully and said, "Well, that’s right. Couples who come out of the hotel usually buy this kind of medicine!"
"Uh, right for what?"
Li Chen looked confused. Instinctively, he glanced at the box of medicine.
Yuting: 72-hour emergency contraception!
"This kind of medicine, if girls take it too much, it’s not good for their health."
Having said that, the nurse took out two more boxes of medicine and placed them on the glass counter.
"This Durex is good, Jissbon and Dulux, they’re also well-known brands, they sell really well."
She then leaned into Li Chen’s ear, pretending to be shy but with an air of mystery.
What the heck is going on with all of this nonsense?
For the sake of improving sales performance, these girls sure are bold enough to say such frank things; aren’t they being too aggressive?
Li Chen pressed his hand against his forehead and said, "Then give me a box of cold medicine, the best kind you have!"
The nurse blinked in surprise and asked, "Ah, cold medicine?"
Li Chen, with a straight face, said casually, "Girl, you seem to have too many questions, don’t you?"
"Oh!"
The sales girl responded with an "Oh," and took out a box of Sanjiu Cold Relief from behind the counter, placing it with the previously taken out medicines into one bag.
"Sir, that will be 158 yuan in total!"
Li Chen didn’t ask any further, took out two red bills, slammed them onto the counter and said, "Keep the change," before turning to head out the door.
"Moo Xi, here’s your medicine!"
When Moo Xi saw the medicine Li Chen handed her, her dark brows involuntarily furrowed.
Yuting?
"Li Chen, you bastard, and you said you didn’t touch me yesterday?"
Li Chen was cluelessly startled, glanced at Moo Xi’s retreating figure, and then at the Yuting in his hand, feeling like ten thousand Divine Beasts were rampaging in his heart.
"Moo Xi, Moo Xi, don’t go! Listen to me explain. I grabbed the wrong medicine; this is the one you should have!"
Li Chen quickly caught up with her and handed over the Sanjiu Cold Relief.
Moo Xi looked at the Sanjiu Cold Relief in Li Chen’s hand, paused, then asked, "What’s with the Yuting, who did you buy it for? It’s not for Lan Huanxi, is it?"
"Humph, what a beast. She’s still a young girl, yet you had the heart to be so cruel!"
Li Chen’s face was a mask of embarrassment, as in his mind he cursed the nurse at the pharmacy, inside and out, eighteen times.
"Moo Xi, what if I told you, there’s a buy one get one free promotion at the pharmacy today, would you believe me?"
"Humph, like I’d believe you!"
Although Moo Xi’s tone was still rather cold, it had softened considerably.
She took the Sanjiu Cold Relief, glanced again at the box of Yuting, blinked, and asked, "What do you plan to do with this Yuting?"
Without thinking, Li Chen blurted out, "I’ll give it to you as a greeting gift, you will definitely find a use for it in the future!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Moo Xi stomped her foot in anger and kicked fiercely towards Li Chen.
If, right now, she had a knife, she would undoubtedly chop this bastard into pieces without hesitation.
Er, provided that she could beat him!
Moo Xi reached out and knocked the Yuting from Li Chen’s hand onto the ground, snorting indignantly, "Humph, keep it for your own use!"
With that, she tossed her sleeves and strode away.
"Humph, detestable guy. The first gift you give someone, and it’s Yuting, even saying it’d be useful in the future. This guy is simply a pig, a stupid pig, a dumb pig, a dead pig!"
Li Chen caught up and asked, "By the way, Moo Xi, it seemed like you drove out last night, where’s your car?"
Moo Xi’s sparkling big eyes blinked twice against the sky, her face innocently questioning, "Yeah, where is my car?"
As she spoke, she instinctively looked around as if the car was nearby.
Li Chen reminded her, "Isn’t it parked by the bar door?"
Moo Xi had a sudden realization, patted her little head, and said, "Right, it’s parked by the bar. What’s the name of that bar again, caocao bar?"
Li Chen rolled his eyes and corrected, "It’s coco bar, come on, I’ll take you to get your car!"
Meanwhile:
At the coco bar parking lot:
Hei Hu was leading a dozen brothers, circling around a pink Ferrari sports car.
"Huzi, this is that little chick’s car, I personally saw her drive in."
"Damn, it’s a Ferrari, top-end worth over a million, seems like this girl’s background ain’t simple!"
"Pfft, what does it matter if it’s complicated, in the end, she still has to marry one of us dudes, doesn’t she?"
A group of loser flunkies chitchatted non-stop, satisfying their twisted souls and attaining some kind of perverted pleasure.
...
Right then, a flunky hurried over to report.
"Huzi, that man from last night and the pretty girl are heading this way!"
Hei Hu nodded, diverting his gaze towards a burly man.
"Jin Gang, that kid’s a Martial Artist. Take care when dealing with him yourself!"
The man called Jin Gang patted his chest of steel, saying, "Huzi, don’t you trust me? In this Donghua City, no matter how tough they are, I can turn them into cow dung!"
Hei Hu, worried Jin Gang would underestimate the enemy and suffer, warned, "Jin Gang, that kid’s a Martial Artist too, and his Kung Fu is solid, be careful!"
Jin Gang waved dismissively, "Sheesh, Huzi, aren’t you being too cautious?"
"Besides, our big brother is Brother Meng!"
As Jin Gang’s spittle flew, Li Chen and Moo Xi had already entered the parking lot.
Seeing the unfriendly newcomers, who were all tattooed tough guys, Moo Xi instinctively took a step back, hiding behind Li Chen.
Seeing that it was the bald man from last night, a chill and an icy murderous intent flashed through Li Chen’s eyes.
Hei Hu felt a shiver down his spine at Li Chen’s sword-like gaze.
He mustered his courage, raised his voice and called out.
"Jin Gang, it’s this kid, help me cripple him!"
