Realizing Tang Li was feeling unwell, Song Baiyan asked Ji Ming to stop the car near a drugstore.
"Stomach upset?" he asked himself.
Tang Li nodded, "Maybe I ate too much just now..."
Song Baiyan was about to tell Ji Ming to go down and buy the medicine when Tang Li spoke up first: "I can go by myself, and use the drugstore's restroom while I'm at it."
This time, Song Baiyan said nothing.
After getting out of the car, Tang Li headed straight to the 24-hour drugstore.
Exiting the restroom, she picked out a box of digestion tablets and went to the cashier.
The clerk said, "That'll be 11 yuan."
Tang Li hadn't brought her purse and felt in her down jacket pocket, finding a hundred-dollar bill. The clerk, a middle-aged woman in her forties, didn't want to make that much change and suggested, "You don't have it, so ask your man; he might have some!"
"..." Tang Li looked up, puzzled, at her.
