Chapter 200 Hear
"Alright, I’ll try," Su Lu said, feeling better after vomiting and managing a weak smile toward Zhao Ying. "Thank you. I didn’t expect to run into you here. You took such good care of me at the hospital, and now, once again, I am in your debt."
"There’s no need for thanks," Aunt Zhao’s eyes shone brightly in the dim light of the restroom, reflecting a gentle glow in her pupils like water brimming with tenderness. "It’s what I should do."
She murmured softly, almost to herself, "... something I should have done long ago."
"Huh? What did you say?" Su Lu didn’t catch what she said and asked.
Aunt Zhao shook her head with a smile, "No, it’s nothing. Shall I walk you out?"
Thinking about the group of drunken friends outside, Su Lu declined helplessly, "No need, I’m feeling better now. I can leave on my own; my friends are outside. Don’t worry about me."
Aunt Zhao didn’t insist and nodded, "Alright then, we’ll see each other again."
Su Lu left the restroom, her head clearer than before, but still feeling slightly queasy, like the aftereffect of motion sickness. Her mouth also felt uncomfortable from the vomiting.
She remembered seeing kumquat lemon tea on the menu earlier and planned to order one later.
And to think she had such a fateful encounter with Aunt Zhao, receiving her care again. Su Lu seriously considered inviting her to a proper meal during her stay in town.
Just as Su Lu returned to their table, Su Yi, who had been lying on the table as if passed out drunk, suddenly lifted his head, his eyes still tipsy.
