Tang Ming and Xia Wei’er, along with the chubby guy, left first. Liu ngting whispered to Li Xiaoli, "Xiaoli, didn’t you want to eat the food from Snack Street?"
"Didn’t we already eat there before?"
Li Xiaoli asked in surprise.
"Co on, let’s go to Snack Street to eat."
Liu ngting insisted.
"No, let’s not. My stomach hurts today; I want to go ho early."
Li Xiaoli, recently recovered from a serious illness, didn’t feel like walking and just wanted to go ho to rest.
"Co on, your stomach will stop hurting after we eat."
Liu ngting, not taking no for an answer, grabbed Li Xiaoli and dragged her towards Snack Street.
As they hurried along, looking around, upon entering Snack Street, Liu ngting finally spotted Tang Ming slipping into an ice cream shop.
"Xiaoli, co on, let’s go have so ice cream."
As soon as Liu ngting saw Tang Ming entering, she wanted to go and see what was going on.
Li Xiaoli said with a pained expression, "ng ng sister, I don’t want to eat ice cream."
"Let’s go, there’s a lot inside; you can order whatever you want."
Liu ngting pulled Li Xiaoli into the ice cream shop.
Inside the shop, only Wei’er’s mom was attending to custors. As for Tang Ming and his two companions, they each had their tasks: Xia Wei’er was in charge of tidying up the shop, Tang Ming was inside the prep room ready to make diet popsicles, and the chubby guy had gone out to buy supplies.
They were preparing a large batch this ti, so they needed to buy a lot of materials, and the chubby guy had to take a taxi to bring everything back.
"What would you two like to eat?"
Wei’er’s mom was worried the newcors might want diet popsicles again, but she still asked with a smile.
Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli checked out the colorful posters in the shop, thought it over, and each ordered an ice cream dessert.
Relieved, Wei’er’s mom began making the ice cream. It was quickly ready, and she brought it over to Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli.
While eating their ice cream, Liu ngting glanced around the shop and muttered, perplexed, "Where did that guy Tang Ming run off to? I clearly saw him walk into this shop."
After waiting for quite so ti and seeing no sign of Tang Ming, Liu ngting finished her cold treat. She couldn’t just sit there doing nothing, so she ordered so more ice cream, planning to stay a bit longer to see what Tang Ming was up to.
"ng ng sister, I can’t finish it all; you ordered too much,"
Li Xiaoli complained, frowning at the several large ice creams on the table.
"Don’t you usually love eating ice cream? Why aren’t you eating it now?"
Liu ngting teased, "Hurry up and finish it, or else I won’t take you out to eat again."
"Ah."
Li Xiaoli made a face, her only option being to spoon the ice cream into her mouth, her little face nearly turning red.
Liu ngting wasn’t in the mood to eat ice cream either. She suddenly turned her head and saw the chubby guy arriving at the ice cream shop’s entrance on a tricycle, bringing several large bags inside.
"Hey, that’s Zhou Dafu. He’s Tang Ming’s lackey; he must know where Tang Ming went."
Liu ngting quickly stood up and went straight to the chubby guy who was carrying supplies inside, asking, "Zhou Youfu, what are you up to? What’s all this stuff?"
"Oh, it’s you, Princess ngting."
Zhou Youfu said with a smile:
"I’m buying so supplies for Xia Wei’er. What brings you here?"
"I ca for ice cream. Is there a problem?"
Liu ngting glanced at the chubby guy, casually asking, "Do you know where Tang Ming ran off to?"
"Tang is in the prep room getting ready to make diet popsicles."
The chubby man laughed as he walked and said,
"Co on, I’ll take you inside for a look."
"In the processing room?"
Liu ngting followed the chubby man with a puzzled look to the door of the processing room. As she opened the door, she saw Tang Ming indeed concentrating on making ice pops. As soon as the chubby man arrived, Tang Ming called out, "Hurry and get everything out, the sooner we’re done, the sooner we can go ho."
"Tang Ming, are you really here?"
Liu ngting called out subconsciously after seeing Tang Ming.
"Miss? What are you doing here?"
Tang Ming was taken aback and asked.
"It’s nothing, I just ca here to have so cold drinks, you go ahead with your work."
After knowing Tang Ming’s whereabouts, Liu ngting walked out of the processing room feeling sowhat uncomfortable.
"Ouch, sister ng ng, my stomach hurts so much."
Li Xiaoli, who was eating ice cream, suddenly shouted. Her face was pale as a sheet, sweat beading on her forehead, and she looked extrely frightening. Holding her stomach with both hands, she was obviously in terrible pain.
"What’s wrong?"
Liu ngting ran over quickly, and upon seeing Li Xiaoli’s frightening expression, she imdiately asked anxiously, "Xiaoli, what’s the matter with you?"
"My stomach hurts."
Li Xiaoli, sweating profusely, whispered once Liu ngting got closer, "Sister ng ng, it’s my period, my stomach started hurting earlier, and now it’s probably worse because I ate too much ice cream."
"You silly girl, why didn’t you speak up if you’re feeling unwell."
Liu ngting imdiately felt remorseful. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have let her eat so much ice cream.
However, at this mont, Li Xiaoli perhaps was in too much pain and fainted on the table.
Liu ngting was terrified. She touched Li Xiaoli and found her hands and feet starting to get cold, her whole body beginning to chill, and most frightening of all, her body was still trembling slightly. She didn’t know what illness it was.
Liu ngting panicked and shouted towards the processing room, "Tang Ming, co out quickly and save her!"
Tang Ming, who was busy making ice pops, heard the shout and imdiately put down what he was doing and ca out of the processing room.
Seeing Liu ngting with the fainted Li Xiaoli in her arms, Tang Ming quickly walked over and asked, "What happened to Xiaoli?"
"She suddenly fell ill. Tang Ming, think of sothing quickly, we need to get her to the hospital."
Liu ngting was so anxious she was nearly in tears.
"Let see."
Tang Ming touched Li Xiaoli’s pulse, his face turned pale. Several of her blood vessels had already clotted, a condition that was extrely rare.
"It’s rush hour now. Getting to the hospital would take at least twenty minutes to half an hour. Given Xiaoli’s current condition, she probably won’t make it to the hospital."
Tang Ming said with a grave expression.
"What? Nothing can happen to Xiaoli. Tang Ming, since you know what’s wrong, then find a way to save her, please."
Liu ngting pleaded, tears falling as she spoke.
After so thought Tang Ming said, "Co on, let’s get her into the processing room first. There’s a large platform in there which is suitable for treating Xiaoli."
"Good, then let’s hurry."
Liu ngting agreed quickly.
Tang Ming lifted Li Xiaoli with both hands and walked into the processing table, directing the chubby man to clear everything off the table. Then he wiped it down with a dry towel before carefully placing Li Xiaoli on top.
At that mont, Wei’er’s mother and Xia Wei’er were both at the door of the processing room, with anxious expressions, not knowing what had happened to the girl. But after all, the incident had occurred in their shop, and if the family sought accountability, it would be a huge problem!
Another concern was that if soone died in a snack shop, the consequences would be severe. So, the mother and daughter both prayed earnestly in their hearts, hoping that nothing serious would befall Li Xiaoli!
