"Miss, 4 dollars please."
Jenny in the back seat gives no instant response to that as she stares fascinatedly through the taxi window at the pharmacy. The impatient driver looks back at her and complains, "Miss, do you want a ride into that pharmacy?"
"What?" Jenny comes to herself.
On noticing the driver's impatient look, she realizes she has held him up and blushes with embarrassment. She pulls out the cash out of her bag, stuffs it into his hand and rushes out of the taxi.
"Oh, chop chop. Get out of the car!" shouts the driver and he drives away.
It turns freezing already starting October in Huaixiu, the Northwest region. Let alone it is December now and heavy snow falls. Even though she wears a thick down coat, Jenny shivers the moment she steps out of the taxi.
Jenny takes a look up at the neon sign of the pharmacy, and blushes. She hesitates for a while but the severe cold defeats her. She pulls up her mask and runs into the pharmacy shrugging her shoulders.
The lady behind the cashier counter greets in a smiling manner, "Welcome to our pharmacy. How may I help you?"
Her blushing face can hardly be hidden by the mask when she hears that. She blinks her sparkling eyes and replies as if nothing bothers her, "I'm good. Just looking around."
She shelters herself between the shelves as she says that.
Jenny pats her breast and regrets, "No, why do I do this myself? I should have asked Shawn for help. She's done this before. She's not gonna feel as awkward as me."
Problem is, where on earth is the pregnancy test kit stored?
The phone in the pocket rings at a bad time when Jenny bends herself and looks carefully for the pregnancy test kit on the shelf.
She picks it up at once, "Jessica, I'm at the pharmacy. Don't rush me."
"Oh that, I don't mean that..." Jessica falters on the phone, "I mean, the weather is terrible. Be careful on your way back. And it's important that you keep away from the paparazzi."
"I'm aware of that. " Jenny answers with a smile. Thinking about her girlfriend's trouble, she can't help complaining, "Speaking of careful, how come you were not careful enough to think about birth control?"
"Because I like him and we both expect to have a baby. " Jessica answers with sweetness and hints something in it, "You like him too. So please come back ASAP, Jenny."
Jenny mourns as she looks for the thing. "I find it. Talk to you later." interrupts her at the sight of the pregnancy test kit.
Her white slender hand accidentally touches another one at the moment she stretches it to the sky.
Both of them are shocked.
"Well? Pregnant test kit?", a roar and deep voice on the top of Jenny's head says. This crack joke adds to the cold. And the guy reaches a pregnancy test kit from the shelf and stuffs it to Jenny's hand, and says, "You're welcome."
You're... welcome?
Speechlessly, Jenny is scared stiff and awkwardly holds the pregnancy test kit into her small hand.
She feels embarrassed either to take it or not.
Oh man! That guy is absolutely doing this on purpose!
At the thought of that, Jenny gets a bit unhappy. She turns around with anger and glares at him from beneath the hat brim.
What a meddler!
This tall man wearing a long black down coat muffles himself with a hat and a mask like Jenny does. Even so, his extraordinary temperament still shows, so does the sarcastic smile in his inky eyes.
Just a peek at him already gives a heart beat to Jenny. She avoids the eye contact unconsciously and shakes the thing in her rigid hand, whispering, "No, it's not for me..."
She just buys that thing for her girlfriend.
