Sweet Time Only for You: The Entanglement between Mr. Lu and Miss Song-Chapter 368: Lonely and Helpless in a Strange City

"Yes, just a moment." The shop lady seemed to have guessed something and promptly took out a box of contraceptive pills from the medicine cabinet. "Here, this is it."

"Thank you." Song Yinyin reached out to touch her bag, but paused.

Oh no, she forgot that her bag was still in Yan Kejun’s car, now she’s completely penniless.

Moreover, she doesn’t know Yan Kejun’s phone number...

Oh, heavens!

Song Yinyin rubbed her aching temples, feeling even more helpless.

She shyly looked up at the shop lady: "I’m sorry, ma’am, I... I forgot to bring money with me, could you leave me a contact number, and I’ll pay you back later?"

The shop lady was kind-hearted, seeing that she seemed to have unspoken trouble, she said, "Take this box of medicine, consider it my treat. But at such a late hour, miss, where are you going?"

After a pause, the shop lady lowered her eyes, worriedly looking at her thin clothing, "Dressed like this, it could be dangerous, you should go home soon."

Go home?

Song Yinyin smiled faintly, self-mockingly saying, "I’m not from A City, I came from the Imperial City."

"Oh, visiting relatives?"

"No."

Song Yinyin shook her head, sniffed, holding back the tears in her eyes, and said, "I came to find someone, but I discovered... I think I was wrong, I shouldn’t have come looking for him."

The shop lady sighed lightly, shook her head, and took some money out of her jacket pocket, placing it in Song Yinyin’s palm.

"Miss, I only have this much money on me, it’s enough for you to buy a train ticket back to the Imperial City. Don’t linger on the road, although A City is a big city, it’s not safe to be out this late, you should head back soon."

The shop lady thought she couldn’t return to the Imperial City, so she gave her a wad of money.

Song Yinyin looked at the wad of money in her hand, tears quickly welling up in her eyes.

She never imagined that one day she’d be so embarrassingly down and out, like a wandering soul all alone and helpless in a strange city, with not even one person to turn to for help.

She took a deep breath, looked up, and said, "Ma’am, thank you, I really appreciate it. Please give me a contact number, I’ll definitely pay you back later."

"No need."

Song Yinyin was not used to being in debt and insisted on repaying, so the shop lady wrote down a string of phone numbers for her.

Song Yinyin clutched the piece of paper tightly in her palm.

Before leaving, the shop lady said, "Oh, by the way, I have some clothes you can wear. Although they’re simple, at least they’re for women, so you won’t look... too odd walking on the street."

Saying this, the shop lady glanced again at Song Yinyin’s shirt and trousers, shook her head, and turned to the back room, bringing out a set of clothes.

"Try them on, see if they fit."

"Ma’am, thank you so much..." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Song Yinyin gratefully nodded.

She changed into the clothes the shop lady gave her, and although they were plain, they were much more comfortable than Lu Jihan’s men’s outfit, and not so conspicuous and out of place.

After leaving the pharmacy, Song Yinyin headed to the train station.

The night in early autumn in A City was dreary and cold, with few people on the streets, quite desolate.

After much wandering, Song Yinyin finally made it to the train station and bought a sleeper ticket back to the Imperial City.

Once she boarded the train back to the Imperial City, she completely relaxed, lying down on the bed, gazing at the retreating scenery outside the window, tears falling silently...

After a long time, she closed her eyes.

It seemed as if the whole world turned dark in an instant, sparing her from having to face anything anymore.
