Child's Leg-Stretching and Eye-Rolling Pill

Although Li Ming was delayed for a while queuing at the pharmacy, the several dishes he had ordered earlier still hadn't been prepared.

Maybe Li Ming had come at a bad time. It was mealtime now, and there were a lot of people coming to eat. Moreover, Jade Tower was one of the most famous restaurants here, so the guests kept coming in an endless stream.

Li Ming casually found a seat and sat down, then picked up his phone and started browsing.

Since parting ways with Yang Yang, Yang Yang hadn't contacted him. Although they had added each other as friends, their chat history was still blank.

Li Ming suddenly thought of Yang Yang when he was buying medicine just now. They hadn't used protection last time. However, Li Ming thought that as a prison doctor, she should know better than him about this.

After much deliberation, Li Ming decided to ask.

He quickly typed a line of words with his fingers, but then thought it wasn't good and deleted half of it. Still, he felt it wasn't appropriate, so he kept deleting and revising. It took him quite a while to finally decide to send a two - word message.

"Are you there?"

Li Ming pulled a long face. It was really embarrassing to ask about such a thing. He couldn't just come straight out and ask if she had taken the emergency contraceptive pill. That would be too heartless.

But less than a minute after Li Ming sent the message, a call came in. Li Ming took a closer look and, sure enough, it was Yang Yang...

Li Ming gave a light cough and answered the call.

"Hello! Dr. Yang..."

"Hey, isn't this our warden Li? It's only been a short time since we separated, and you're already missing me?" Yang Yang's voice sounded a bit surprised. She thought Li Ming had contacted her because he missed her. She secretly thought that Li Ming was a good guy and could be counted on. He wasn't the kind of person who would just use someone and then deny it.

"Cough, cough. It's just that you didn't send me any news after you went back. I didn't even see you report that you were safe, so I just wanted to ask." Li Ming's mind was racing, thinking about how to bring up the key question later.

"Oh~ You're quite concerned about me. We got back to the prison very late, so we didn't want to bother you. Moreover, a new batch of prisoners was transferred to our prison today. I've been busy running around all day. I just took a break and then saw your message." Yang Yang stretched and replied lazily.

"Oh! I see. Then take care of yourself. You must be very tired these days. Go to bed early later." Li Ming replied politely.

He suddenly felt like a scumbag. He was the one who had done it. Although there was a mission factor involved, he had also enjoyed it. He had done it but didn't want to take responsibility. What was the difference between him and those scumbags who played with people's feelings?

"Well, of course I'm tired. It's mainly because you, Warden Li, are in such good shape. My little body could hardly bear it. And I got my period today. I'm aching all over. I don't know if it's because of you or my period. I really need to have a good sleep later!" Yang Yang's voice showed exhaustion. If it weren't for Li Ming's message, she would have gone to bed.

"Ah?? Oh! Then go to sleep quickly! I don't have anything important. You go and rest. We can talk later!"

"Um~ Okay! Bye!"

Li Ming hung up the phone, with a look of amusement on his face. He didn't expect Yang Yang to get her period so coincidentally. It was just as well because he didn't know how to bring up the topic.

Once bitten, twice shy. Li Ming secretly made up his mind that he wouldn't do such a stupid thing again. If he accidentally got someone pregnant, he would be in big trouble.

Mainly, the tasks he had triggered recently were all so strange. The rewards were generous, but the punishments were also severe. He couldn't refuse them, otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a mistake.

Li Ming let out a sigh of relief. There was no problem with Yang Yang. After he went back and gave the medicine to Wang Xin, there would be no hidden danger, and he could finally put this matter to rest.

Li Ming continued to wait for his ordered dishes boredly. But then the waiter suddenly walked towards him.

"Sir, your takeaway is almost ready. Could you please stand aside for a while? All the other tables are full, and this is the only empty table left. Usually, we wouldn't ask you to give up your seat, but an important guest is coming to the private room inside. So we had to move one table of guests from the private room and let them sit here. However, our store manager has said that we'll give your takeaway order for free! Once it's ready, you can just take it away."

The waiter politely explained the whole situation to Li Ming. This didn't make Li Ming feel annoyed. Moreover, they were even giving his order for free.

He was just by himself, and it was indeed a waste to occupy this table. Li Ming nodded with a smile and stood up to give up his seat.

After the waiter bowed to thank him, he went to the private room to bring out the guests and let them sit at this table.

Li Ming thought that there was indeed a reason why the Jade Tower was so popular. Listening to the guests who had been moved chatting, he learned that the store manager had also waived their bill. Everyone was just changing seats, and it was a win - win situation. Why not?

However, Li Ming was still a bit curious. What kind of big shot was coming later that they had to specially vacate a private room for them? Li Ming sized up the door and deliberately stared at the store manager. He guessed that the store manager would definitely go to greet the important guest when they arrived.

Sure enough...

Speak of the devil. It didn't take long for a middle - aged man, surrounded by several men and women, to walk into the restaurant. He was well - dressed, walking with a measured gait, and wearing a standard and amiable smile.

When the store manager saw this, he immediately trotted over to greet them. He shook hands with the middle - aged man while leading them towards the private room, acting obsequiously. What a sycophant!

With just a glance, Li Ming could tell that the man being escorted into the private room was an official, and he held a fairly high rank.

If you asked him how he could tell, Li Ming could only say that he had seen so many of them that he could just tell. The higher - ranking the official, the more standard their smile, the straighter their back, and even their walking posture was different from that of ordinary people.

Unless they reached the level of his own father, who had achieved a state of simplicity and naturalness, all the others were more or less the same.

After watching the commotion, Li Ming withdrew his gaze. The waiter had already packed Li Ming's dishes and handed them to him.

Li Ming picked up the food and was about to leave. It was getting late, and it was time to go back to the prison.

Just as he reached the restaurant entrance, a beautiful woman in a white form - fitting dress walked towards him. She had a charming figure but also exuded an air of elegance and gentleness. She was already tall, and with the pair of black high - heels she was wearing, her figure looked even slimmer. From Li Ming's perspective, this woman's legs were even longer than the welcome pine tree at the restaurant entrance!

The woman passed by Li Ming, leaving a trail of fragrant air...

However, Li Ming's focus wasn't on the woman's allure. The important thing was that he had just seen this woman!

Li Ming carefully recalled the photo on the poster and was sure he wasn't mistaken. This face, which was extremely similar to Tan Qingqing's, belonged to the other woman on the poster!

Tan Chengcheng!
