nHuo Zijun was stunned!

n

n

nHe had thought that Xia Xibei was just talking nonsense. After all, she was only a teenager; how could she know how to prescribe medicine?

n

n

nMoreover, traditional Chinese medicine was not the same as Western medicine. In Western medicine, one could try to find some pain relief on one’s own, but the checks and balances in traditional Chinese medicine were not so easily managed.

n

n

nTaking medicines without knowledge could lead to deaths!

n

n

nHowever, the combination of the medicinal materials that Xia Xibei described was extremely clever!

n

n

nHuo Zijun looked at a very pale Xia Xibei with a shocked expression. “Who gave you the prescription?”

n

n

nThe pain in Xia Xibei’s stomach had temporarily subsided, so she had the strength to answer Huo Zijun’s question.

n

n

n“I made it myself. Could you please help? Boil with three bowls of water, then simmer for half an hour, thank you.”

n

n

nHuo Zijun was stunned for a moment before he let people prepare the medicinal supplies.

n

n

nAfter giving the order, he looked at Xia Xibei, “Do you know traditional Chinese medicine?”

n

n

nShe didn’t look like it!

n

n

nXia Xibei was young, and if she knew Chinese medicine, why didn’t she take care of herself?

n

n

nBut looking at the medicine she prescribed, it was much better than the version he thought of.

n

n

nThe two prescriptions were not at the same level.

n

n

nThis really confused him.

n

n

n“I understand some.” Xia Xibei gritted her teeth and then blushed again, struggling to get up.

n

n

n“What are you doing getting up? Aren’t you hurt?” Qiao Yanjue pushed her back down with a dark face.

n

n

n“Let go!” Xia Xibei blushed and shouted in a low voice, “I’m going to the bathroom!”

n

n

nShe could feel that her pants were wet.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue’s movements froze. He was rarely embarrassed.

n

n

n“The bathroom is in here, but I don’t have what you want here.” Huo Zijun said with a shrug and gave Qiao Yanjue a look.

n

n

nHis shop has female employees, but he had given them time off for a few days.

n

n

nIn the end, it was all because of Qiao Yanjue.

n

n

nWhy did he hate women?

n

n

nAnd given his current situation, it was not really not suitable for a woman to get close to him.

n

n

nXia Xibei’s face was still very pale, “I can buy it myself.”

n

n

n“Lay back down!” Qiao Yanjue frowned and said, “I’ll get someone to buy it for you!”

n

n

nXia Xibei shook her head, “I don’t want to bother you…”

n

n

n“You have already bothered me!”

n

n

nQiao Yanjue interrupted her and showed her the blood stains on his chest, “I’ll have someone go!”

n

n

nAfter talking, he looked at his subordinates.

n

n

n“…Yes, young master!”

n

n

nSeveral tall men blushed in embarrassment.

n

n

nThey never had to buy these things before as men, ah!

n

n

nHowever, after meeting Qiao Yanjue’s eyes, they did not dare to have any objections. They immediately left.

n

n

nSoon, they brought the things back.

n

n

nLooking at the box of sanitary napkins, Xia Xibei’s mouth twitched. She was speechless.

n

n

nThere were at least a few dozen packs of sanitary napkins here, for day, for night, in mesh, in cotton… everything.

n

n

nThere was so much; when would she use them all?

n

n

nBut now was not a time to refuse. Her period was coming in more than ever.

n

n

nFortunately, Huo Zijun was considerate and found a pair of pants for her.

n

n

nAlthough the pants were a bit big, they were better than nothing.

n

n

nBy the time Xia Xibei changed into the pants and came out, the medicine was ready too.

n

n

nSmelling the bitter scent with a hint of sweetness, Xia Xibei didn’t hesitate and readily drank the bowl of concoction.

n

n

nAfter drinking, Xia Xibei felt a little more warmth in her cold belly, and her heart-piercing pain was finally relieved. Her complexion also improved a lot.

n

n

nHuo Zijun finally found a chance to ask, “You know traditional Chinese medicine?”

n

n

n“Yes.” Xia Xibei nodded.

n

n

n“What are you buying these for?” He took out the medicine list that Xia Xibei had dropped earlier.
