"My wife is 21 years old."
"Here it is," The man brought over a file of medicine and passed it to him, "She needs to take this two times a day until she feels better.
"Sanitary napkins," Jun Zixuan said, holding the medicine in his hand.
"Sir, which one do you want?"
"Get me two from all the best brands you have.," He paused. It should be enough right, "Wait…Make it three."
"Yes, your wife will be pleased." So rich, so wilful! The owner inwardly cheered ready to embrace the dollar signs.
The man nodded his head, satisfied.
"And she is carsick."
"We have medicines for that too."
"And…"
…
'Blargh….'
Holding a water bottle in her hand, Yu Mei was squatting on the side of the road as she puked her guts out.
For the umpteenth time, she regretted not checking her horoscope before stepping out of the resort today. She did not believe in these things but her current situation was telling her that her stars were all maligned and scattered here and there, not moving anymore.
They have become stagnant causing her life to be so miserable.
Another wave of nausea hit her and she lowered her head once again.
'Blargh'
The loose locks of hair fell in front of her shoulder but she did not have the power to hold them.
Right at this moment, a hand patted her back.
''Ah….'' She was startled.
Despite her weakness, her hand moved at reflex to grab the person's wrist.
"It's me…"
The man's deep voice set her at ease.
She could not help it. After being assassinated in the middle of a forest, she dreaded these empty highways most.
Especially when right at this moment, the streetlights on either side of the road were not working.
Since the drugstore was inside a small alley, the car could not go inside. Moreover, moving around too much might just stain her dress by her discharge. So, she told me that she would be sitting in the car.
But how ironic it was that she did not even have the privilege to do that.
'Blargh' Yet another wave of nausea.
"Dammit…" She closed her eyes feeling the pain in her throat.
Jun Zixuan collected her hair in his fist while his other palm kept rubbing her back.
After one last round, she finally felt a lot better. Cleaning her mouth with water, she leaned back into the man's embrace. "Jun Zixuan, I must have owed you something in my last life,'' She weakly muttered, "For which you're taking revenge right now. Yes, that must be it." But then again, she remembered not owing him anything in her past life.
"Talking about past life, we must be nemesis at that time," He said before carrying her in his arms, "."
Despite her current condition, she laughed evilly, 'Nemesis? You wish! We were friends.'
''What are you laughing for?" He narrowed his eyes looking at the woman's face under the flashlight of her phone.
''Thought about a joke."
"Take your medicine right now," Jun Zixuan folded his arm across his chest as he glared at the woman who was backing off at the sight of the pills in his hand.
When she didn't listen to him, he grabbed her cheeks in one hand and her mouth opened like a koi fish in the next moment.
"Mmm..mm..jwarrrrkkk…..h…atles…"
Despite her resistance, he popped the pills in her mouth before pouring water into her mouth.
She drank it in a few gulps and he loosened his grip on her.
"Cough...Cough…" She glared at him, "I am a delicate woman. How could you treat me like this?"
'Delicate? Woman? Cheh~ Where is she? Why can't I see her?' A mocking voice rang in her mind setting her eyes on fire in an instant.
'When I was asking for help, you were nowhere to be seen. Now that it is time to mock me, you're standing first in the queue?'
'Heh~' Another wave of mocking laughter and the fox disappeared again.
Yu Mei closed her eyes, taking deep breathes to calm her down only to feel a warm palm stroking her cheeks.
Her eyes opened in an instant. She looked at Jun Zixuan blankly as he gently stroked her cheeks, "You…"
"It turned red so I was helping you," He cleared his throat.
Her lips twitched as she swatted away his hand, ''Didn't you hear me? I am delicate. Who told you to grab my cheeks like that?"
"Who told you to not take the medicine?"
"Does that mean you will force it down my throat?" She stroked her lower abdomen "Stop fighting with me. I'm in this half-dead condition partially because of you. Where is your guilt?"
The car was parked in the middle of the road, the lights inside the car were turned on while they were having a face-off.
Jun Zixuan's gaze softened, "You never told me that you are carsick. How do you expect me to know that?"
"That's not called being carsick. You can't expect me to enjoy the ride in this condition when you are driving the car in a flying spur," This is the exact reason why she preferred bikes over cars. Moreover, the way he drove, she got the vibes of being on a race track.
This was a fucking Bentley, not a well-equipped sports car on a race track. She could feel the insides in her body hurting till now.
"You were in pain. I had to drive faster."
Looking at his innocent face, she felt guilty. Fine, fine, my fault then.
Later that night.
After soaking in warm water for half an hour, Yu Mei felt a bit comfortable. The medicine was quite effective as her pain was reduced almost instantly.
Wrapping a towel around her head, she walked out of the bathroom wearing her cute pink-bunny night pajamas.
Whatever magic that fox did to make her look a bit in shape also disappeared and she was back to her round looks.
For the sake of two hours of a bit shapely figure, she had to allow that little thing to read her mind for two whole days. What a loss!
Looking like a fluffy dumpling, she dragged her lazy ass towards the bed before slumping on it.
Jun Zixuan tilted his head from the laptop and glanced at her, "You look different than before…''
