Ch11 - Children's Digestion Tablets

“This is for you.” Li Zhao put a box of digestion tablets into Yan Ting’s hands. Yan Ting held the digestion tablets and his dark black eyes looked at Li Zhao.

“In our first two meals together, I found that you eat very little.” Li Zhao naturally helped Yan Ting open the medicine box and placed it in his palm. “Today, you ate more than the last two times and I’m afraid you can’t stand it. There is a drugstore nearby so I bought a box. Take a few tablets.”

Yan Ting smelled the digestion tablets and there was a light, fruity fragrance. He found the word ‘children’s digestion tablets’ on the box and there was a children’s cartoon picture in the corner.

“Thank you.” Yan Ting made simple chewing motions.

The store manager’s eyes secretly swept over the two people and he was afraid to speak.

“You are?” Li Zhao saw the stranger still standing next to him and turned to look.

“Hello Sir, I am the store manager. Can I ask if you are satisfied with the meal?” The manager asked with a smile.

“It is delicious. My friend and I liked it, right?” Li Zhao hit Yan Ting with his elbow.

“En.” Yan Ting gave a short reply.

“It is enough that you are satisfied, satisfaction is good.” It was a simple compliment but the manager seemed to have received a great confirmation. He bowed to the two people and spoke excitedly. “We must make further efforts to carry forward the spirit of service. I look forward to your next visit.”

Li Zhao didn’t think the store manager would be so excited and hastily gave a few more words of praise. The more compliments he gave, the happier the other side was. He sent them to the door and smiled brightly as he watched them leave.

“This store is really good. It is cheap and warm to guests.” Li Zhao smiled. “Today’s life is really complete.”

“Are you satisfied?” Yan Ting’s pale lips slightly quivered. “Really?”

“I earned the appearance fee, ate delicious hot pot with friends and also got a discount card for members.” Li Zhao smiled. “Of course, it is perfect.”

Yan Ting nodded slightly. “I understand.”

“What do you understand?” Li Zhao had adapted to the mysterious atmosphere of his new friend. His understanding of this was very simple and rough. Yan Ting didn’t like making friends or communicating. His heart was always mysterious.

Yan Ting replied, “I’ll take you back.”

Li Zhao wondered, “Ting Ting, you don’t have a girlfriend?”

“En.”

Okay, for the sake of their brotherhood, he would let this person maintain their mystique. Mysterious men were popular with girls and Li Zhao thought he was very understanding.

“It’s fine. You are only 28 years old and don’t need to be in a hurry.” Li Zhao comforted Yan Ting. “There will always be girlfriends.”

Yan Ting was silent. As a mature man, sometimes he had to put up with young men.

After returning Li Zhao home, Yan Ting headed back to the company. The driver and assistant stooped over to open the door for him and whispered, “Sir, the director of Strawberry Entertainment Company wants to talk to you.”

“I’ll see them.” Yan Ting held a fist against his mouth and coughed softly.

“Yes.” The assistant waited for Yan Ting to step out the door and quickly draped the coat over Yan Ting’s shoulder. Suddenly, Yan Ting’s footsteps paused. He looked back at the box of digestion tablets on the seat of the car. Then he leaned over and put the box of medicine into his coat pocket.

Once he entered the office building, Yan Ting rubbed his temples and looked at the world that never changed every day. His eyes were like a pool of stagnant water with no ups and downs. The elevator rose floor by floor and slowly opened in the pale light. Beyond the elevator was a stylishly decorated corridor.

“Sir, your nutritional medicine.” Outside the elevator, a man in a professional suit handed him a box of pills.

“No, I don’t need it.” His eyelids slightly lowered and his entire body melted into the cold corridor, not giving out any vitality. The only thing that seemed out of place here was the coat pocket. The box of children’s digestion tablets was worth less than 100 yuan.

The man in the professional suit had some worries in his eyes but he couldn’t say anything. He could only keep his head down in silence.
