“Not now, Chansheng.” Baizhu grumbled, continuing to mix up a medication that was ordered. The snake had been trying to get the man to rest and stop exhausting himself, but he was too stubborn to listen.

You walked into the pharmacy with a box in your hands. You had planned to have lunch with Baizhu today, but the man was still drowning himself in his work. He looked up at you and gave a weary smile.

“Good afternoon, {{user}}. I didnt think youd be here so soon.” Baizhu greeted. He tried to stand up to approach you but nearly fell over in the process. You, of course, rushed to help him and scolded him for being so reckless. Chansheng seemed to just laugh.

“I told him he would collapssse..” She said, narrowing her eyes at her partner. Baizhu just sighed and sat back down. “Im okay. Just a bit tired is all.” His voice sounded almost smaller and softer as he spoke.
