Chapter 125: You Buy, I’ll Pay.
Chapter 125
"I'm busy with work and don't have time."
Li Man wanted to ask him why he didn't find a girlfriend so that someone could cook for him, but she felt that it was his personal matter and she shouldn't inquire about it.
They chatted for a while, and then Li Man realized that the food had turned cold. She asked the waiter to reheat it.
After finishing the meal, when Li Man was about to pay the bill, she discovered that Huo Jian Sheng had already paid for it.
"I thought we agreed that I would treat you. Why did you pay the bill?" Li Man said discontentedly.
"You treat me, and I pay the bill. What's the problem?" Huo Jian Sheng said with a smile.
Huo Jian Sheng's humor made Li Man laugh, but she still insisted, "No, we agreed that I would pay. I'll transfer the money to you on WeChat."
Saying that, Li Man took out her phone to transfer money to Huo Jian Sheng.
Although she was poor now, she still had some money.
"Forget about this meal. It'll be the same next time you treat me," Huo Jian Sheng said casually, without any intention of taking out his phone.
Helplessly, Li Man put her phone back and said, "Okay, it's settled. Next time, I'll definitely pay. If you try to snatch it again, I won't talk to you."
Huo Jian Sheng glanced at Li Man and smiled.
When they said goodbye, Huo Jian Sheng turned back to Li Man and said, "If you have time, come home and visit."
After saying that, without waiting for Li Man's response, he turned around and walked away.
Li Man stood still, watching his retreating figure, and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"Thank you!" Li Man's eyes turned red as she murmured.
...
After drinking the millet porridge, Tan Xi Yuan felt slightly better in her stomach, but she still felt weak all over, lacking energy.
What's wrong?
She just had a bit of alcohol, and her body couldn't handle it.
How dramatic!
Tan Xi Yuan despised herself in her heart, got up and returned to the bedroom without even taking a shower. She lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
She slept until the next afternoon.
Tan Xi Yuan woke up because she was hungry.
After waking up, she felt completely weak and tired all over.
But no matter how tired she was, she still had to eat.
Struggling to get up, she stepped barefoot on the wooden floor.
Her steps felt floating, as if she was walking on cotton, and she swayed unsteadily to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and saw half a pack of instant noodles, thinking of cooking some noodles.
She also took out a piece of steak, tomatoes, and eggs from the refrigerator.
While cleaning the steak, she smelled the bloody scent and suddenly felt nauseous.
"Ugh..."
She quickly squatted down beside the trash can, vomiting uncontrollably.
She continued to vomit until there was nothing left, until tears and mucus came out. Only then did she stop vomiting.
Leaning against the cabinet, she sat on the floor, breathing heavily.
Her body had always been fine, so why did it suddenly become like this?
Did she get gastroenteritis?
Struggling to stand up, Tan Xi Yuan wanted to find some medicine for her stomach.
But after searching for a long time, she couldn't find any medicine.
Forget it, she gave up. Her stomach was starving. She would just order takeout. She didn't have the energy to cook.
Tan Xi Yuan picked up her phone and ordered a bowl of pigeon congee.
After placing the order, she noticed two missed calls from Li Man and Chen XiaoHui.
She decided to call Li Man back first.
"Xi Yuan, what's going on? I've been calling you for ages and no one picked up," complained Li Man from the other end of the line.
"I'm not feeling well," Tan Xi Yuan weakly replied.
"What's wrong? Where are you feeling uncomfortable? Have you taken any medication?" Concern filled Li Man's voice as she anxiously inquired.
"I keep feeling nauseous and vomiting, which has left me feeling weak."
"Why is that happening? Have you taken any medicine?"
"I don't have any medicine at home."
"What about Lu Feng? Ask him to bring you a box."
At the mention of Lu Feng, Tan Xi Yuan's nose tingled. He was so heartless, not coming home these past few days.
