Chapter 228 Anticancer Drugs
Shen Zhichu's hand holding the phone froze, and she looked over in disbelief, only to see Lu Tingchuan with his elbows on the table, his fingers crossed and his thumb resting on his chin, looking at her with interest, waiting for her reply.
A violin piece was playing in the western restaurant. The music was gentle and melodious. Lu Tingchuan's slightly mellow and hoarse voice sounded solemnly at this time, more beautiful than ever.
“Chen Zhichu, I fell in love with you at first sight.”
Chen Zhichu came back to his senses and wondered how could there be love at first sight in a dark place like a movie theater?
Besides, she doesn't believe in love at first sight. Love at first sight means falling in love with a face.
Shen Zhichu suddenly felt strange in her heart. She wondered if Lu Tingchuan knew her before, otherwise how could so many coincidences happen today?
Seeing that she didn't answer, Lu Tingchuan continued to insist, "Maybe this comes as a surprise to you, but I really like you."
Shen Zhichu looked at her coldly and said in a flat tone: “The routine of using love at first sight to pick up girls is outdated.”
“Miss Shen is probably not a local.”
The love-at-first-sight tactic isn't working, so now they're using region as a tactic to build relationships? Will there be another "fellow countrymen meeting each other" scene soon?
Shen Zhichu sneered: "I'm from J City and have lived here for several years."
Both Zhao Qian and Li Jingshen told her that she settled in J City after getting married, which was about five or six years ago.
"Really? But your accent doesn't sound like you're from here. It sounds more like you're from Rongcheng."
Shen Zhichu's whole body suddenly stiffened.
Lu Tingchuan continued, "Also, in J City, people are very direct when it comes to relationships. When you meet someone you like, you just say it. Love at first sight isn't a cliché."
"Are you from J City?" Shen Zhichu asked.
"Forget it."
The waiter brought the dishes to the table one by one. The main course came after the appetizer. The food in this western restaurant tasted very good, and Shen Zhichu couldn't help but eat more.
In the middle of the process, the sound of a text message came from her mobile phone, and Shi Li Jingshen reminded her to take medicine.
When Shen Zhichu saw that he had to take medicine, he immediately looked sad and called the waiter to bring a glass of water.
"I noticed you were looking at your phone. What were you looking at?"
"Look at the text message my husband sent me." Shen Zhichu said, "So stop talking about pursuing me."
Shen Zhichu originally thought that after saying this, Lu Tingchuan would give up, but he didn't expect that he would actually settle for the second best.
"Then it should be okay to give it to a friend, right? You don't have to be so repulsive to me."
"I don't like making friends with ulterior motives."
The atmosphere suddenly became cold and stiff, and even the couple sitting nearby noticed it.
Just at this moment, the service desk came over with a cup of water, and Shen Zhichu took it and said thank you.
Then he took out a handful of colorful medicine from the bag.
Shen Zhichu had a small esophagus and esophagitis, so other people could swallow their pills with one handful of water, but she could only take one pill and swallow it with a sip of water.
So every time I take medicine after a meal, I always fill up with water.
Lu Tingchuan likes to study medicine. There are a bunch of bottles, jars and potions in the basement of his house. When he saw the pile of medicine in front of Shen Zhichu, he raised his eyebrows and felt that it looked familiar.
After all, his major was not related to the subject, so some medicines looked familiar but he could not remember what their effects were. However, a few medicines flashed through his mind and looked more and more familiar.
Suddenly he thought of something and stared at the letters on the white pill in Shen Zhichu's hand.
That's a cancer drug.
Shen Zhichu has cancer?
"Are you sick?"
Shen Zhichu said "Hmm." and started to struggle with the medicine in his hand again. The smell of medicine in his mouth made him feel like vomiting.
There was a special breath-freshening mint candy on the table. Lu Tingchuan tore off one and placed it in front of Shen Zhichu.
"Have a piece of candy after taking the medicine, it will make you feel better."
Shen Zhichu didn't refuse, and when he was about to retch, he quickly threw the mint candy into his mouth.
"Why are you taking so many medicines? What's wrong with you?"
Shen Zhichu almost said "stomach problem", but then he thought that his relationship with this man was not good enough for her to answer every question he asked.
