Meanwhile, inside the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

After Xie Li named several medicinal herbs, the shop assistant who was responsible for serving her immediately became subtle in expression.

He slammed the medicine cabinet shut, crossed his arms, and gave Xie Li a once-over.

His expression was scrutinizing: "Young man, are you here to cause trouble?"

Xie Li: "???"

A blank look on his face!

She was just there to buy medicine, how did it become a deliberate act of causing trouble? She paused for a moment, then glanced at the shop's layout; it was indeed a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

"I'm sorry." Xie Li thought for a moment and then took the initiative to explain the situation, "I'm here to buy medicinal herbs."

"So, do you have He Shou Wu, Wu Xiang Gu, Tie Mu, Zi Ye Mushroom...?" He paused, touched the card in his pocket, and added seriously, "I have money."

Xie Li thought that perhaps the shop assistant could tell she was from the countryside and was worried she wouldn't have the money to pay.

The same goes for that beauty salon before. Since Xie Shiyou said there was a minimum spending requirement of 100,000 yuan, it might actually be true.

Actually, at the entrance of the club, she really wanted to say that she had money and could afford to spend it, but she just didn't want to.

Buying medicinal herbs is a different story; she's willing to spend any amount of money.

The shop assistant held back, but her face still darkened: "You dare to say that? Just because you have money doesn't mean you're all that. If you weren't a girl, I would have kicked you out!"

Xie Li: "..."

She felt she needed to be humble. "Did I offend you? I'm sorry, but why? Did I say something wrong?"

Could it be that this shop doesn't sell these medicinal herbs? She wondered to herself.

Seeing her blank expression, the shop assistant couldn't help but look at her with some suspicion.

Although the girl in front of me was wearing a black mask, her eyes were clear and bright, and she didn't seem like she was deliberately trying to cause trouble.

After thinking for a moment, she softened her tone: "We do have He Shou Wu in the shop, but what you're talking about, Wu Xiang Gu, Tie Mu, and Zi Ye Mushroom, are you watching a martial arts novel? I've never even heard of them!"

Xie Li was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. Just as he was about to leave, a middle-aged man walked in.

The other person was still wearing a traditional Chinese white coat, exuding an otherworldly air. This time, however, he wasn't accompanied by his noisy assistant.

It was the same Pharmacist Chen we met at the Xie family's house before.

Xie Li's gaze lingered on the other person for only a second before he naturally turned and left.

Pharmacist Chen suddenly asked, "What do you need those medicinal herbs for?"

Xie Li exclaimed "Ah!" and realized that he was being called out to her. "I want to make hair growth serum."

Pharmacist Chen frowned. "Nonsense!"

"I'm not kidding," Xie Li said seriously. "I'm going to school soon, so I need to make hair growth serum as soon as possible to help my hair grow faster."

She didn't want to go to school with this messy hair. The psychological trauma of being ridiculed for cutting her hair when she was a child was too severe, and the thought of it made her want to withdraw into herself.

Pharmacist Chen's gaze fell on her hair, which was even shorter than the last time he saw it... As a daughter of a wealthy family, it did seem rather inappropriate.

He originally didn't want to get involved in Xie Li's affairs, since everyone knew Xie Li's situation, and interfering too much wouldn't do any good.

only……

For some reason, he thought of Xie Li's bottle of pills from before. For some reason, the strong medicinal smell always bothered him.

Even in the last few days, I've been dreaming about that faint medicinal scent.

Pharmacist Chen's gaze fell on Xie Li's face. Although the girl was wearing a mask, her forehead was noticeably smoother and more delicate...

Thinking of the results of his previous pulse diagnosis, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Where's the prescription?" After a moment of silence, Pharmacist Chen asked, "Who gave you this prescription?"
