Jiang Xue must have been really itchy to the point of not being able to stand it anymore, otherwise she wouldn't have shown her face in front of Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu crossed his arms and looked at Shen Zhijie thoughtfully. It seemed he could still walk, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Jiang Yao: Shen Zhijie doesn't seem sick at all.
Shen Zhijie: It would be best if there were medicine, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
When Shen Zhijie saw that Jiang Xue was also asking Jiang Yao for eczema medicine, he smiled slightly, with a hint of roguish charm, and asked, "Who are you?" After saying that, he circled around Jiang Xue twice.
Jiang Xue: What bad things did I do in my past life that God let me meet you?
Seeing Shen Zhijie circling around her, Jiang Xue deliberately dodged him, saying, "Shen Zhijie, don't go too far." Her tone was slightly dissatisfied.
The two people's voices woke everyone up.
Seeing someone wake up, Shen Zhijie immediately perked up. "I went too far, how did I go too far?" Shen Zhijie pretended to be innocent, clutching his chest and feigning sadness. "Are you asking who went too far, or are you the one who went too far?"
Jiang Xue trembled all over, tears streaming down her face, as if she dared not cry out loud for fear of being heard. "You're simply a scoundrel," she said, glancing at Xiao Mu intentionally or unintentionally.
"Jiang Yao, did you see that? She called me a scoundrel." She said this in a affected manner.
“Being cunning isn’t a bad thing, but if you’re so blatant about it and it’s easily seen through, then it’s no fun.”
It's unclear whether Shen Zhijie did it intentionally or unintentionally.
Jiang Xue just stared at Shen Zhijie, crystal tears sliding down her cheeks.
"Don't do that, it makes it sound like I'm bullying you," Shen Zhijie said, waving his hand.
"Where did you get this conclusion, that you define me as a scoundrel, or do you have some misunderstanding about what a scoundrel is?" Shen Zhijie asked, intentionally or unintentionally, with a hidden meaning, referring to Jiang Sheng's matter.
Jiang Yao: The only thing I can do to deal with this kind of innocent girl is to admire you immensely. You're such a straight, iron-willed man.
Seeing this, Xiao Mu patted Shen Zhijie on the shoulder, signaling him not to go too far.
Jiang Xue looked at the man standing quietly in the dim light, his profile sharp and distinct, but his eyes were only on Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao: He really is a cultured, classy, and tasteful rogue. Everyone who sees him is afraid.
Seeing that Shen Zhijie didn't seem to be in any trouble, Jiang Yao said, "Shen Zhijie, aren't you sick?" Then she looked at Jiang Xue and said, "You have eczema on your face, so it's best not to cry."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue quickly covered her face, afraid that everyone's attention would return to her face.
Shen Zhijie turned around stiffly to look at Xiao Mu: You didn't tell her, did you?
As if realizing something, their faces flushed red. It was best not to discuss eczema in public.
Jiang Xue and Shen Zhijie looked at Jiang Yao and Xiao Mu together, their meaning clear: Do you have medicine?
Seeing the two looking over, Jiang Yao slowly said, "The medicine is with the authorities, and it should be delivered in the next few days."
Their expressions immediately fell; it would be a few more days.
Shen Zhijie: It's over, it's over, my life is ruined.
Jiang Xue: It'll be a few more days. How am I supposed to see Xiao Mu after that?!
"Jiang Yao, you should have kept the medicine you went to find for yourself, right?" Jiang Xue said, stepping forward and touching Jiang Yao's body.
"You should still have your medicine, right?"
"You definitely still have medicine on you, I don't believe you don't," he muttered to himself.
Jiang Yao pushed Jiang Xue away irritably, "I don't have any medicine on me. All the medicine is with the authorities." She turned and left to go home.
Back home, Jiang Yao turned on the dehumidifier, went to the bathroom, filled the tub with water, and soaked in the bath while listening to the rain outside the window.
Lying in bed, I recalled the image of Xiao Mu's strong arms as he rowed the boat...
Shen Zhijie turned around, closed the door, and blocked Xiao Mu's way, saying, "You really didn't bring me any medicine?" He shook Xiao Mu's arm as he spoke.
Seeing him like this again, Xiao Mu put her left hand to her forehead, sighed softly, and said, "I brought it, it's in my backpack." She handed it over.
Having achieved his goal, Shen Zhijie took the schoolbag and began rummaging through it, not forgetting to thank Xiao Mu.
Three days later, the authorities prepared to distribute eczema medicine. Since the quantity of medicine was not large, they limited each household to one tube.
The medicine exchange office temporarily requisitioned Shen Xi's house. Since Jiang Yao lived alone, she could receive a medicine by simply stating her floor and apartment number.
Conflicts can arise in large families. After Jiang Yao received her medicine, she saw that Jiang Sheng's family had also come to receive their medicine. Since they were staying at Cai Lin's house, they could only be counted as one household.
Seeing that she could only take one dose of the medicine, Jiang Xue's eyes were filled with resentment and jealousy when she saw the medicine in Jiang Yao's hand.
Because there are many people suffering from eczema, and the authorities found that there was not enough medication, they prepared to start a second wave of medication collection.
Given that the last search was relatively close, this time the search area was expanded to more than 20 kilometers away. Jiang Yao and Xiao Mu signed up again, since the authorities said that they would provide material compensation no matter what medicine they found.
After having breakfast, Jiang Yao packed her sleeping bag, dry food, and thermos into her backpack, grabbed Hou Dao, and headed to the safe exit to meet up.
When Jiang Yao arrived, some people had already started to set off. Xiao Mu took Jiang Yao's backpack, and the two boarded a rubber boat.
Along the way, the two passed several pharmacies, only to find that they had been ransacked at some point. Looking at the thick dust on the shelves and the medicines scattered in the water, it was clear that they must have been in a great hurry.
Jiang Yao and Xiao Mu traveled south, looking at the flooded city. Everywhere was a vast expanse of water. As they rowed, it felt like they had arrived at a small town in the water, and the surroundings were very quiet.
As they entered the city center, the two soon saw people paddling rubber boats and small boats from the children's playground, all heading out to search for supplies.
Seeing that there were more people and boats ahead, Xiao Mu turned the boat around and headed in another direction, where the two arrived at an office building.
After circling the building and finding the glass intact, Xiao Mu took out the axe he had prepared in advance from his backpack.
Seeing Xiao Mu's determined gaze, rain streamed down his cheeks, and the veins on his hands bulged as he raised the axe with immense strength. With a crash, the glass shattered. After waiting for the water to calm down, they moored the rubber boat in a safe, secluded spot, and the two swam inside.
The two went straight to the stairwell after entering. Seeing Xiao Mu's familiarity with the place, Jiang Yao asked with some doubt, "Do you come here often?"
"You seem to know this place very well. You didn't even need to look for it from the moment you came in to the stairwell?"
Xiao Mu turned around and met her gaze. "I've been here before, I just have a good memory."
A faint smile played in his slightly narrowed eyes. "Have you forgotten what I do?"
Jiang Yao raised her hand to gently touch her forehead, her brows slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly as she said, "How could I forget, Engineer Xiao!"
Jiang Yao followed Xiao Mu to the pharmaceutical company on the 7th floor.
"Don't underestimate this pharmaceutical company located in an office building. It has everything that pharmacies have, and even things that pharmacies don't have. Although the quantity is not large, the variety is complete."
"Take what we need first, and we can pick out the rest later." After saying that, Xiao Mu went to another room and found an insulated box.
