[You're allergic to strawberries and didn't know? You're faking it, aren't you? Strawberries are such a common fruit, you've never eaten them? What's so funny?]
[What if someone has genuinely never eaten this before? We poor folks can't compare to you rich folks!]
[Is the person above just being resentful of the rich? How expensive can a pound of strawberries really be?]
"You didn't know that before?" Xie Tingsi was a little surprised, after all, strawberries are very common, and strawberry-flavored foods are also very common.
Yu Qiuchi hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head: "...I don't know, maybe I've never eaten it before?"
He used to subconsciously dislike strawberry-flavored foods, so he had never actually tried them, which is probably why he didn't know he was allergic to strawberries.
He recalled that his family used to have many strawberry-scented products, but he didn't know when they started to decrease...
"Really?" Xie Tingsi was even more shocked. There really were people who had never eaten anything strawberry-flavored since they were a child. Moreover, Yu Qiuchi's family was definitely not the kind that couldn't afford strawberries.
"Really, I don't like this taste."
Song Yaozhuo, who had been standing silently by the bed, stiffened. He pursed his lips slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I thought you would like it..."
He swallowed the last part, "Strawberry flavor, pink bottle, it goes well with you," without saying it aloud.
"It's okay, I didn't know either. Besides, life should be about trying new things. If it weren't for today, I wouldn't have known that strawberry-flavored milk is so delicious. But it's a pity I don't have the fortune to enjoy it," Yu Qiuchi comforted Song Yaozhuo.
Yu Qiuchi then mischievously looked at the cameraman and smiled at the lens: "But the fact that it can cause allergies means that this milk is a good brand. It has a high strawberry content, so I highly recommend this brand."
Yu Qiuchi took the opportunity to advertise the milk that got him to the hospital, since it was a product of his company, and free traffic came his way!
[Haha, my wife looks so cute doing that ad! She seems okay! Wait, I'm going to buy it right now!]
[Buy, buy, buy! Fine, I'll buy it!]
[This brand of milk is really delicious, and the ingredients are very clean. The green grape flavor from the same line caused an allergic reaction, so I ended up in the hospital (?ò?ó). You old rascal!]
[I just checked, and it seems this brand was established because fruit farmers in remote areas couldn't sell their produce! Its brand exposure has never been high; if it weren't backed by a large industry, it would have gone bankrupt long ago.]
[What an amazing business! Everyone, hurry! Charge ...
Thanks to the financial support of our customers, this brand of milk has sold out, and the processing plant is working overtime to keep up with demand.
Yu Qiuchi looked up along the IV line and saw that this was the second bottle out of three. Only a little bit of the second bottle had been administered, and it would take a long time to finish.
"By the way, what about our cat cafe date this afternoon?" Yu Qiuchi asked.
The cameraman quickly said, "The director said that Song Yaozhuo and Gu Xiaojun can go, and you can find time to date Song Yaozhuo and Gu Xiaojun separately later."
“Okay.” Yu Qiuchi looked at Song Yaozhuo and Gu Xiaojun and said, “You two go first. It’s a rare opportunity to have some fun. You can pet the cat on the company’s dime.”
Gu Xiaojun agreed, but she couldn't help feeling a little regretful. However, it was alright, as they would make up for it later, which showed that the production team had some conscience.
He instructed, "Remember to change the water in the hot water bottle later. The liquid is quite cold, and it will make you feel uncomfortable if it is infused into your body."
Jiang Chenzhou nodded to indicate that he understood.
Just as Gu Xiaojun and Song Yaozhuo left, Yan Qing dragged Tang Ke in.
"I heard from the production team... team that Qiu... Qiu Chi, you're in the hospital. Are you alright?" Yan Qing said, her breath still ragged.
Yu Qiuchi was both amused and exasperated. Seeing Yan Qing's posture, she thought she was about to die: "It's nothing, I'm just allergic to strawberries."
"Strawberry allergy!"
"Don't you know? Strawberries are so common, even if you don't go to the hospital for a checkup, you should be able to spot them!"
Yu Qiuchi was exasperated, wondering why everyone kept asking this question: "I've never eaten anything strawberry-flavored before, so I really don't know."
"Huh? Never eaten it? Never eaten strawberries? That's impossible!" Yan Qing was shocked.
Tang Ke, standing behind Yan Qing, patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down, saying, "The world is full of wonders. Not everyone has the means to do this. Strawberries may seem inexpensive, but to many poor people, a few strawberries can cost as much as several days' worth of food. It's not worth it. Apples and bananas are also fruits that can be eaten. Why do you have to buy the expensive ones?"
"This is just like how many people never know about children's palaces, or have never seen a subway, high-speed train, or airplane in their entire lives."
"But Qiu Chi doesn't seem like someone who can't afford strawberries. Besides, that's only a small group of people. Ordinary families should be able to afford them!" Yan Qing was still puzzled.
"Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. You might feel uncomfortable at first glance, and then you won't like it anymore. What you think is just your opinion, and you can't generalize about everyone. The masses in your eyes are always your eyes, and others also have their own eyes on the masses."
This sentence caught Yu Qiuchi's attention. It was the first time Yu Qiuchi had looked at Tang Ke so seriously. To be honest, Tang Ke had not left a deep impression on him since they met. He seemed to be just a pretty face with no substance, occasionally flashing his charm and making you feel numb.
[Sigh, I feel the same way. Some people have already won at the starting line, while others struggle desperately to catch up but still can't reach their starting point.]
[To be honest, I'm from the countryside, a very backward place. In terms of culture and education, I only just got out after a grueling college entrance exam, and only now do I realize how commonplace things like milk tea, coffee, and youth centers are to them. It's only now that I understand the vast gap between us, how incredibly large it is, and I can't help but feel inferior.]
