Chapter 39 - 37: [Feeling Unhappy]
Chapter 37 [She’s Unhappy Now!]
The Sun family’s house wasn’t large; it was in an old-fashioned apartment building, the kind built in the late eighties or early nineties. These old houses had one thing in common: the living rooms were quite small. The layout was regular, without any wasted space.
There were two bedrooms, one large and one small. Usually, Old Sun and his wife occupied the master bedroom, while the smaller room was School belle Sun’s private room.
Chen Nuo placed School belle Sun on the sofa to rest and then stood at the entrance of the hallway leading to the bedrooms. After a moment’s thought, he called out loudly, "Where’s your family’s medicine box?"
In that era, every family kept a medicine box at home, complete with a thermometer and some standard cold medicine, fever reducers, and anti-inflammatories.
After all, it was common for someone to have a headache or a fever. Ordinary people would often try to endure a minor illness on their own, taking some medicine before resorting to the hospital, which was usually far away. Besides, pharmacies weren’t as widespread then as they would be decades later.
Unlike twenty years later, very few people kept these items at home. With Meituan medicine delivery, items could be delivered right to your home—even condoms.
School belle Sun was dizzy. Indeed, she had a fever. She had managed to walk home, but once inside, leaning on the sofa made her even more groggy. She mumbled softly, "It’s in my parents’ room, under the dressing table, in the bamboo basket."
Chen Nuo hummed and, not bothering to hide the sound of his steps, deliberately walked with heavy, unhurried steps as he went over and grabbed the handle of the master bedroom door.
He opened the door forcefully and stepped straight in.
Without looking around, he headed straight for the dressing table.
Anderson’s figure, like a fish gliding through water, slipped out silently from behind the door to position himself right behind Chen Nuo.
