As a man of few words, Yang Yong simply acknowledged Chu Xiang’s orders with a single nod before making a detour towards the dicinal store.
Xiao Tao asked out of curiosity, “Does Sister Xiang take Chinese dicine? If so, are there any parts of your diet that you should be abstaining from?”
Flipping over a page of the magazine, Chu Xiang replied, “None of the sort. I will only be purchasing so dicinal ingredients for a nice bath later. By doing so, I will be in a better condition for work.”
Xiao Tao carefully analyzed Chu Xiang’s skin. “Sister Xiang, have you made sure that the dicinal ingredients are compatible with you? Are they reliable? Otherwise, I will make an appointnt at the spa that I frequent for body care. Although it may be a bit pricey, the services at that place will definitely be worth it.”
Chu Xiang chuckled, “We’ll go there next ti. Don’t worry, I have already used the dicinal ingredients before, so there should not be any issues.”
“Oh, alright. Sister Xiang, if you are in need of anything else, please do not hesitate to tell , for I will do my best to assist you. Furthermore, it would be better to avoid being seen in public as you never know what the news reporters might capture and write about again.” Xiao Tao took out her phone and opened her mo book.
After a mont of thought, Chu Xiang shook her head. “I think it would be best for to go and look for myself since I seem to have forgotten about the specifics of the ingredients. As for the news reporters, you don’t have to worry about them. After all, what else can they even write about ? Most of what they write will be harmless anyways, so we should just let them write to their heart’s desire.”
Storing her phone back in her pocket, Xiao Tao sighed. “Sister Xiang, you have such great patience. I reckon that the dia will even report the insignificant stories of you walking down the streets to buy clothes and food for more attention at this point. Next ti you have anything you want, please call for . After all, isn’t it a pain to be followed by the dia all day long?”
“In that case, I will be calling for you quite often.” Chu Xiang finally gave in to her words, filling Xiao Tao with great satisfaction.
Although Xiao Tao found it strange that Chu Xiang was reading a business magazine, she nevertheless remained silent. She checked a notification from a popular microblogging site.
Xiao Tao discovered that the terms, “No man will choose Chu Xiang,” had beco a trending search and hot topic. She couldn’t help but shoot a quick glance towards Chu Xiang. If she were in her position, she would have already broken down crying. Xiao Tao then recalled the ti when Chu Xiang cried in the news conference before officially retiring as a celebrity from the entertainnt industry. At that ti, Chu Xiang gave off a weak and delicate impression; that was why Xiao Tao never expected her to be so unaffected by the horde of haters targeting her.
Xiao Tao opened Chu Xiang’s account on the microblogging website and realized that she had not logged it for a whole year now — her final post being the farewell ssage to her fans. The comnt section of that post was continuously being filled with hateful comnts. She prepared herself to speak to Chu Xiang about her microblogging account. Since Chu Xiang was going to co out of retirent, it would be best to have soone operate and clean up the account for her.
When the car finally arrived at the dicinal store, Xiao Tao followed Chu Xiang down to purchase the dicinal ingredients. As Chu Xiang walked around the store, she began sniffing out each dicinal ingredient. Since she never got the chance to study dicine even in her previous life, she naturally did not have much knowledge of modern dicine. Having concocted many different types of cultivation pills in her original world, however, Chu Xiang realized that so of the modern ingredients were similar to the ones she used in the distant past. Thus, she took the opportunity to look around and learn more about them.
Looking at Chu Xiang’s actions, Xiao Tao felt an indescribable sense of unease, for it did not seem like Chu Xiang knew much about the dicinal ingredients. From her perspective, Chu Xiang was simply taking a few sniffs of each ingredient before picking them out.
Even with all her doubts, Chu Xiang had already declined her previous suggestions and insisted on buying the dicinal ingredients. Xiao Tao could only remain silent and watch her from the side.
After analyzing every dicinal ingredient in the store, Chu Xiang was rather disappointed with the quality of the modern ingredients. Only after more than half an hour did she pick out a few ingredients with great reluctance. In addition to the different types of ingredients, she had also purchased a cauldron to concoct the dicinal ingredients in.
Having just paid for the items, Xiao Tao took the initiative to help carry the bags of dicinal ingredients back to the car. Feeling heartbroken from the total price, she hoped the ingredients would be of any use, as they cost almost an entire month’s salary.
Looking at Xiao Tao’s downcast expression, Chu Xiang could not help but burst into gales of laughter. Shen then pinched Xiao Tao by her cheeks. “Don’t worry, for I will definitely increase your salary after rising in popularity.”
Xiao Tan sighed. “In that case, I can only hope for Sister Xiang to raise my salary.”
