Moreover, in such a small town, there were hardly any cabs. That meant a round trip from here would take at least an hour. Plus, climbing up the mountain would require another half an hour. By the time she would return, the sky would likely be dark.
Jian Anning hesitated a bit. She pursed her lips and thought for a long time, her face suddenly turning red. "Then, may I ask if there is...?"
She couldn’t continue. Such a topic was really a bit embarrassing.
Jian Anning’s face turned red again. After long hesitation, she finally blurted out in a muffled voice, "Is there...an adult store?"
Asking for directions to an adult store—she might as well be the most bizarre person around!
"Oh, you’ve asked the right person! My family just happens to run one of those!" The auntie holding a child suddenly laughed, "Are you here to shop? What are you looking to buy?"
"I..." Jian Anning was completely at a loss for words! Being so directly asked to buy post-coital medication was really difficult to say out loud!
"Alright, alright, come with me." The auntie got up, cradling her child, and Jian Anning followed. The two walked to the corner of the street, and as expected, there was a small shopfront with the words "Adult Products" written in bold red letters, accompanied by an advertisement featuring a voluptuous man "First Experience Oil, takes effect in one hour, with long-lasting efficacy"...
"Boom!—" Seeing this advertisement, Jian Anning almost couldn’t move her feet and followed the female shop owner inside!
"Come on in, aren’t you here to buy something?" The person looked at Jian Anning, whose cheeks were red as a dishcloth, then turned back with a slightly lecherous smile. Jian Anning felt as if her legs were filled with lead. She had never imagined that one day she would end up in such a place to shop!
After hesitating for a moment, she still stood up and walked in. As soon as she entered, the shop, though small, was dazzlingly filled with a variety of...devices, making her too scared to look directly. She just bowed her head, speaking in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s: "Do you have...that morning after pill?"
"Yeah, do you want the 24-hour or the 72-hour?"
The shopkeeper’s question caught her off guard. She was completely clueless about this stuff. The last time she went to buy this, she also asked the shopkeeper to recommend a brand.
After a long while, she finally said, "The most effective one."
The shopkeeper nodded, handed her a type of medication. Jian Anning was about to pay when a call came through. It was from Yu Zexiao.
She answered immediately, responding at once, "Zexiao."
"Where are you?" On the other end, Yu Zexiao’s voice seemed a bit unhappy. Jian Anning had been gone too long, and he, while shooting outside, felt pretty down not seeing her. It was almost as if through the phone, one could sense him frowning and looking displeased.
"I’m buying medicine." Jian Anning was a bit embarrassed, but still replied.
"What medicine?" Yu Zexiao was clearly overwhelmed and had completely forgotten about Jian Anning going down the mountain to purchase the morning after pill.
"I..." Jian Anning was obviously frustrated. Today wasn’t the first time she had to explain what she was out to buy. Besides, the instigator of all this was none other than Yu Zexiao, the jerk!
"What do you think!" she retorted irritably.
