On the way back to the hotel with the medicine, Zhang Qing was very nervous.
This was the one time she has done something bad.
The feeling in her heart was complicated, a mixture of guilt and excitement, and eventually, jealousy overcame her conscience. She took the medicine and went up the elevator.
When the elevator door opened, Zhang Qing ran into Zhuang Zixue.
After seeing her, Zhuang Zixue walked up.
âHey, what are you holding so many things in your hand.â
Zhang Qing: âNothing, Lin Suno bought some food and asked me to bring it to Shi Ning.â
Zhuang Zixue: âNo wonder this guy ran outside in the morning, it turned out he went outside to buy what ah, why donât you give me some to eat.â
He said as he came up to go through the food and ended up seeing the medicine held in Zhang Qingâs hand.
âCold medicine? You have a cold too?â
He took the medicine as soon as he could to look at it.
Zhang Qing was weak-minded and quickly grabbed the medicine from his hands.
âWhat are you doing! I have something to do, Iâll leave first.â
Zhuang Zixue: âEh eh eh wait, this medicine, give me some also. I had dinner with Shi Ning yesterday and I feel like Iâm having a little cold, let me take some to prevent it.â
âNuts, why would you take medicine if youâre not sick.â
Zhang Qing scolded him and walked away from him with the medicine, looking flustered.
Zhuang Zixue continued to ask.
âYou really have a cold? I told you that Shi Ning had the flu, right? You must have gotten it from living in the same room with her!â
Zhang Qing couldnât stand him and shouted.
âThis medicine is not for me, itâs for Shi Ning!â
After saying that, Zhang Qing went into the room and closed the door.
She leaned against the back of the door and let out a breath, picked up water in the room, then took the medicine to Shi Ning.
âShi Ning.â
Zhang Qing carried a glass of water and took the medicine to Shi Ningâs bed and called her name.
Shi Ning opened her eyes in a daze and saw Zhang Qingâs figure.
She propped her hands on the bed and sat up.
âI got too dizzy and fell back asleep.â
Zhang Qing: âThis is the medicine I bought for you, you should take it.â
Shi Ning took the pills and the water she handed over. Her slightly pale lips smiled gratefully at her.
âThank you.â
Zhang Qing saw her take the medicine and throw it into her mouth when she spoke out to stop it.
âHey, wait a minute.â
Shi Ning asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Anyway, the medicine was expired it shouldnât give her any side effects, right? At most, it could only drag her cold on for two more days, she has been so happy, letting her experience little pain should be okay.
Zhang Qing withdrew her hand stopping her, her eyes dodged and said.
âNothing, I just want to remind you to be careful of the hot water.â
Shi Ning took a sip of water: âItâs okay, itâs not that hot, thank you.â
After saying that she swallowed the pills.
Zhang Qing witnessed Shi Ning swallow the expired pills and felt a panic in her heart, unable to look at Shi Ning directly.
âYou, you get some rest, Iâll just Iâll go first.â
After saying that she left the room.
Shi Ning felt that she was a bit strange but remembered that she was sad not a while ago because of yesterdayâs test and did not think too much.
After taking the medicine she went to sleep again.
On the other hand, after Zhang Qing refused to give him medicine, the more Zhuang Zixue thought, the more he felt sick. So, simply also ran out, and went to the pharmacy to get two boxes of the same medicine Zhang Qing bought.
After taking the medicine and was ready to check out, he saw that the cashier was not around. Zhuang Zixue shouted.
âIs anyone here, Iâm here to buy medicine.â
The staff in a white coats came out of the warehouse.
âIâm here, wait a minute.â
After the pharmacist walked out, Zhuang Zixue took the medicine in his hand and showed it to the pharmacist.
âBoss, can I take this even if I have some mild cold symptoms?â
Pharmacist: âYes you can, but I see you are quite well, for mild symptoms itâs better to have some Banlangen first to prevent a cold. Taking this medicine is useless.â
âAnd ah, this batch is expired, look at this, I just took a new one from the warehouse to replace it.â
Said the pharmacist and took the medicine away from him. He then poured it all into a plastic bag, to make up for the medicine taken from the warehouse.
Zhuang Zixue: âItâs okay I used to eat this often when I had a cold, there is no harm in being prepared, Banlangen is of little use to me, Iâd better buy a box of it.â
The thought of staying with Shi Ning the viral body for several days in a row, the more he does not want to get infected.
âYoung man, you cherish your life.â The pharmacist smiled and took him to check out.
The pharmacist said while scanning the code for him.
âNowadays, not many young people pay as much attention to their own health as you do, and that is because they think they are in good health and do not take medicine until they have no choice. There are even more exaggerated cases, just a short time ago, a little girl also came in by the looks of it, she about the same as you. She also bought the same drugs in your hand, I told her it was expired, but she was greedy for it because it was cheap, and still took the medicine away. I shouted behind her but she just ignored me.â
âHey, how can she take this expired medicine? I hope sheâs okay.â
âThatâs right. Itâs better not to eat expired medicine.â
Zhuang Zixue heard and said.
âEating something just to save a few dollars but instead give you a bigger problem.â
