Chapter 990: Getting medicine

Morning.

Nine plus in the morning.

A breakfast stall in the County town center.

Dong Xuebing and Xu Yan got out of the car and ordered two buns and two bowls of Wantons from a roadside breakfast stall. He helped her fill a small plate of vinegar and chili.

“Sis, please eat.”

“Ok. I can do it myself.”

“No. Let me do it. Do you want lesser chili?”

“Yes.”

“Let me mix it for you. Alright. It’s ready.”

Dong Xuebing grabbed a bun after Xu Yan started eating. He continued to observe her and helped her with anything she needed. He had to please her after what happened. Although she said she did not mind, he could not get past himself. He does not want what happened last night to affect his relationship with her.

After breakfast.

Both returned to the Audi.

Xu Yan was driving this time. “Xiao Dong, you don’t need to do these things for me. I said I was fine and it was not your fault. I take things easy at my age. It was not a big deal.”

“But....”

“No more buts. Let’s not talk about it again.”

“Alright. Let’s not talk about it again.”

“Where are you going? I will send you.”

“Ma Yang Hotel. Just drop me by the roadside.”

“Let’s go. Direct me. I don’t know the way.”

Dong Xuebing still could not get over it. He kept stealing glances at Sister Xu while driving. Last night’s images were still evident, making him wonder if he could get a chance to do it with her again.

Sigh....

This is a dilemma.

“Xiao Dong, how is your work recently?”

“Oh.... It’s still the same.”

“Ha ha.... I heard your wife had been promoted to the City Party Committee. Huilan should be in her early thirties, right? Her rank is higher than mine. You have a capable wife.”

“What’s so good about this? She is hard to please.”

“You must learn to give in to her.”

Dong Xuebing felt better after chatting for a while.

When the car passed by a pharmacy, Xu Yan asked Dong Xuebing to stop the car.

“What is it, Sister Xu?” Dong Xuebing asked. “Err.... We cannot stop here.”

Xu Yan paused for a few seconds and touched her stomach. She turned to Dong Xuebing and asked. “I had said not to talk about yesterday’s incident, but I got to ask this question. Where did you release it yesterday? Did you release it inside or outside? Do you get what I mean?”

Dong Xuebing blushed. “Err.... I....”

“Inside or outside?”

“I.... I think it was inside.” Dong Xuebing wanted to bury his head into the ground. It was too embarrassing.

Xu Yan did not say anything and nodded. She was about to get out of the car and stopped. “Go and buy a box of contraceptive pills for me.”

“Ok.... I am going now.”

“It’s the morning after pills. Do you know?”

“I am not sure. But I will ask the staff or call you.”

“Ok. Hurry up and grab a bottle of water too. Thanks.”

“Ah.... You don’t need to thank me.”

Dong Xuebing jumped out of the car and ran towards the pharmacy. He was slightly relieved when Sister Xu was out of sight. He looked around and entered the pharmacy. It was his first time buying pills, and he had difficulty picking the correct one. He got to ask the staff before getting the most expensive one. He paid for it and left for a roadside shop to get a water bottle.

“Sis. I bought it. Is it the correct one?”

“Let me see.” Xu Yan examined the box and immediately swallowed one.

Dong Xuebing apologized. “Sorry, Sister Xu. I should have taken note of it.”

Xu Yan waved her hand. “I will be alright after taking the pill. It’s fine. I am just taking precautions. I said it was not your fault as we were drunk.”

“I will cut down on drinking next time.”

“You are correct. Alcohol is not good for your health. Sigh.... I should stop drinking too. This is a lesson for me. Luckily it was you last night. If it was someone else....” Xu Yan stopped and shook her head.

“Luckily, it was me?” Dong Xuebing felt honored to hear this.

Xu Yan glanced at him. “I mean, we know each other well and are close. I know you will not tell others or do anything to harm me, like secretly recording us. Anyway, such incidents are common nowadays, and I will worry if it is someone else. That’s why I said, luckily, it was you.”

So that’s what she meant.

Sister Xu’s trust touched Dong Xuebing.

“Alright.” Xu Yan laughed and shook her head. “We agreed not to bring up yesterday’s incident. Why are we talking about it again?” She moved her legs and touched the vomit stains on her clothes. “Are you staying alone in the hotel?”

“Yes. I got a room by myself.”

“Do you mind if I take a shower in your room? I smell bad.” Xu Yan added. “I am not saying you are dirty. I need to wash my clothes, and it’s not worth booking a room. Is it convenient for me to use your room?”

“Of course.” Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “Just continue straight along this road. The hotel is located at the end of the road.”
