Little Jiu wasn’t very knowledgeable about oral contraceptives but she knew had to do it under the radar.

There weren’t many patrons in the pharmacy, just a few scattered around the store and fortunately, they were all middle-aged women. It would be horrible if it had been younger girls and they had recognized her. Although she personally didn’t really mind but Manager Feng would definitely go crazy. It would be best if news of an esports player buying contraceptive didn’t spread.

Bo Jiu fastened her face mask in place and scanned the store but couldn’t locate the pills she was searching for. Such pills were probably restricted pills that couldn’t be placed on the racks. It seemed like she had to consult the pharmacist.

Bo Jiu sighed internally, heading towards the counter. “Hello, I need a pack of oral contraceptive.”

The pharmacist behind the counter glanced up at Bo Jiu. “Which brand are you looking for?”

There were brands?

This was the first time she felt ignorant thus she decided to go for the most conservative reply. “The brand with the best result.”

The pharmacist shook his head, muttering under his breath. “The youngsters these days…”

She wasn’t really that young but in her past life, she had never experienced such things before.

If it had been a better time, she would have wanted to bring the Almighty’s child back to the Fifth Avenue with her. But now… Bo Jiu tightened her grip over her phone. She had no choice.

“$25. Cash or Alipay?” the pharmacist asked as he scanned the barcode.

As Bo Jiu didn’t think it was a good time to use her phone, she reached for her pocket. But she realized she didn’t have cash. In the end, she inhaled deeply. She could only use her phone. “WeChat pay?”

“Okay,” the pharmacist replied expressionless.

Bo Jiu swiped open her phone and received a message from the Almighty with three words. “Where are you?”

Guilt washed through her as she glanced at his profile picture. Her fingers hesitated slightly but she did not reply. Instead, she tapped on the payment app.

After the pharmacist scanned the barcode, she passed the box of pills over to Bo Jiu.

Bo Jiu glanced down, her silver hair falling forward as she reached for the medicine.

At that moment, a familiar, deep voice came from above her head. “Shouldn’t you be explaining your actions?”

Bo Jiu felt a chill run through her back. She had only one wish at that moment, for the Almighty to be as clueless as she was in a certain area.

The outreached arm stiffened and she hurriedly stuffed the pills into her pocket. She moved at a speed faster than when she gamed. After she had kept the pills, Bo Jiu glanced over to face the hostile cold stare.

She had never seen the Almighty wear such an expression. His gaze was so deep it was almost hollow.

Before she could say anything, he reached his hand out to pull the hand she had stuffed into her pocket. His voice was as calm as the sea before a thunderstorm. “What is this?”

Bo Jiu opened her mouth, her throat moving. “Medicine.”

“What medicine?” There wasn’t a hint of emotion on his handsome face but the chilliness that radiated from him was enough to freeze the surroundings.

Bo Jiu didn’t reply as she didn’t know how to explain.

Qin Mo glanced over at the word ‘contraception’. He wanted to tear her into bits and swallow her whole. That way, she would know who exactly she was. That way, she wouldn’t be here buying these pills. That way, she wouldn’t be thinking of leaving even at this moment.

Qin Mo lowered himself, grabbing the pills in her palms.

Bo Jiu watched as the box of pills started to disfigure in his palm. He used the kind of strength that could destroy someone. But there wasn’t a change in his expression. And that was how Bo Jiu knew he was really angry.

Bo Jiu glanced down to look at the box of pills. He used a tone she had never heard before. “I asked you to wait at your original spot but you never did. Before I sleep, I would wonder what that arrogant Little Jiu is doing and that thought would keep me awake till the next morning and that way, I would be less time away from her. It was the first time I had the desire to kiss someone and yet, I restrained myself. You must not understand how that feels, which is why you are buying such pills.”

“I…” Bo Jiu wanted to say something but the Almighty didn’t seem willing to hear it. “Do you think I’m illiterate or that I don’t know this brand? If you don’t wish to be together, let’s break up.”

With that, the Almighty turned, leaving her to face a distant and untouchable silhouette.

Bo Jiu had seen that silhouette many times before she had gotten close to him. But it had never been like this, leaving her breathless.

Unknowingly, it had started to rain.

When Bo Jiu came out, the Almighty was no longer in sight. He must have left in the Qin family’s car.

Bo Jiu toyed with her fingers, her gaze sinking. She stood under the rain, her hair dampening.

She stood upright but had never been as listless as she was right now. She was like a soaked little tiger, who didn’t know how to warm herself up.

Or perhaps, the person who could bring her warmth had left, which was the reason she didn’t seem bothered.

That was her state when Feng Yi had rushed over. He had never seen the devilish youngster in such a state before.

Had the two of them fought? That was Feng Yi’s first reaction.

Where was Boss Qin?

He glanced around in search of him. As he couldn’t find him, Feng Yi was sure they had indeed gotten into a fight.

He reached out to caress his temples. He felt an impending headache.

If even Little Spade was acting this way, he could only imagine how Young Master Qin was feeling. This was going to be a bad day. It seemed like the various department managers weren’t going to have a good time.

But what could have caused a quarrel of this extent?

With Young Master Qin’s personality, even if he was angry, he would punish Little Spade in private. How could he have just left him here?

Feng Yi frowned. He brought Bo Jiu to the car since she was getting soaked from the rain. Then he tried to communicate with her. “Wasn’t everything alright just a moment ago? How did buying medicine end up like that?”

Bo Jiu replied with a “Mmh.” She glanced out of the window, water droplets trailing down the ends of her silver hair but she didn’t seem to care. She turned her head to the side, not letting anyone see her expression.

All she could think about was his last words. “If you don’t want to be together, let’s break up.”

Leaving was only a matter of time. Even if she was unwilling, there wasn’t any other option.

She had overestimated her tolerance because just a sentence could affect her so much.

If she waited until the Almighty found out about her identity, she probably couldn’t tolerate the reaction she was going to be faced with.
