Chapter 4 - Annoying Interloper (1/2)

As they got closer to the pharmacy, Lei Xing suddenly stopped and looked at Xiao Ting and the others and then looked around, then walked towards a hairpin stall, dragging Xiao Ting with her. The moment they got to the stall the saleswoman perked up and beamed a bright smile at them, Lei Xing smiled back.

”Xiao Ting, what do you think of these?”

Xiao Ting looked at the selection, ”hm, they are not bad.”

”Not bad? I think you haven't really looked at them...so stay here and examine them closely, okay?” Lei Xing said as she pulled her hand free from Xiao Ting's.

”...but...”

”You stay here and pick out something for me, I'll just quickly go to the pharmacy quickly...pick something as a good luck token for tomorrow...here's a hint, I like silver.”

”Okay! I'll pick the most beautiful one” Xiao Ting said with a bright smile and looked closely at the selection of hairpins.

”I put my trust in your excellent taste...” Lei Xing said with a laugh, then left Ah Cai and two of guards with Xiao Ting and took the remaining one with her. When she got to the front of the pharmacy, she told the guard to wait outside and entered on her own.

She walked up to the reception desk, where a short stout old man was currently sleeping, snoring on the desk. She looked at him skeptically and cleared her throat to try to get his attention, all she got in response was a grunt and then resumed snoring.

”Excuse me, hello?...” the old man continued snoring.

”Oy, Oy, there's a customer here...wake up!” Lei Xing said abruptly lightly hitting the table. The snoring old man jumped up and gaped at her, yawned, then scratched his head while looking around with a confused expression on his face...before squinting his eyes at Lei Xing...

...he must have thought he was at home in bed, I understand your pain T_T)...

”Oh! a customer is here...?” The old man perked up, seemingly awake...

”hahaha...you must not be very busy here.” Lei Xing said with a hesitant nervous laugh...

...did I come to the wrong place?...

”Nothing like that, it's just most people are blind.” The old man said puffing up his chest with a proud smile.”

...okay, I'll bite...it's definitely not because you are incompetent...

”Are you doctor Lou?”

”Yes, I am the famous doctor Lou, my remedies are always efficient and effective cutting through your problems like water, you cannot go wrong coming here...” He said as he slashed an 'X' with a hand.

Lei Xing raised her eyebrows.

...water? water doesn't cut through anything...At least not yet anyway -_-)'...

”...So what I can get for you today? conception medicine? Oh, prevention medicine?...” the old man then leaned across the desk, and put one hand to cover one side of his mouth and whispered, ”...abortion medicine?”

Lei Xing looked stared blankly the doctor Lou, who was smiling expectantly at her, and seemed a little too keen at the prospect of her wanting abortion medicine.

...I'm definitely in the wrong place -_-)'...

”Is your specialty pregnancy?” Lei Xing asked flatly.

”No, but I am quite well known for my w.o.m.b's touch.” The old man smiled proudly, puffing up his plump cheeks.

...w.o.m.b's touch? weird way to put it, but okay....

”Good for you...” Lei Xing said flatly, showing her obvious disinterest in his 'w.o.m.b's touch' potency.

Doctor Lou sat back and looked Lei Xing skeptically, Lei Xing noticed his scrutinizing gaze and boldly returned it, also scrutinizing him. They both accessed each other from top to bottom and then bottom to top, and it seemed they somehow got into some sort of staring contest, waiting for the other to break first.

...what am I doing? -_-)'...

”Okay, you win...” Doctor Lou said with a pout.

Lei Xing felt a bit embarrassed.

...win? I have never felt so childish in my life...
