Chapter 2212: Give Me a Birthday Gift

When the crowd dispersed, they left behind a cake and a table full of food and snacks.

Liu Manqiong's eyes were still red, and she looked blankly at the food piled high on the table, even stacked to a second layer.

Ye Chen looked at her and asked softly: "Missing your mom?"

Liu Manqiong snapped out of it, nodded gently, and large tears rolled down. She hurriedly wiped them away with her hand and said: "Every time my birthday comes around, I miss her very much..."

As she spoke, she hurriedly smiled slightly, looked at Ye Chen, reached out her hand, and said with a somewhat coquettish tone: "Give me a birthday gift, anything will do."

Ye Chen said awkwardly: "Look at this mess. I didn't know it was your birthday today, and I didn't prepare anything in advance..."

Liu Manqiong laughed: "It doesn't matter, anything is fine. Even giving me a coin is okay."

Ye Chen thought for a moment and asked her: "Do you want a 'Great Strength Pill' that cures all diseases?"

Liu Manqiong couldn't help but laugh: "No way... you really have a Great Strength Pill?"

Ye Chen nodded and said seriously: "To tell you the truth, I also moonlight as a wandering physician. I always carry a few Great Strength Pills on me, and when I meet someone I can form a good bond with, I sell them one."

As he spoke, Ye Chen took a wax-sealed Blood-Dispelling Heart-Saving Pill from his pocket, placed it in Liu Manqiong's palm, and said very seriously: "Take this as the birthday gift I'm giving you. Happy Birthday!"

Ye Chen paused here and instructed: "You must keep it safe. Absolutely, absolutely do not let others know or see it, and definitely do not give it to anyone else. It's best if you carry it with you at all times. If you ever fall seriously ill or suffer a severe injury in the future, take it out and eat it. At a critical moment, it might just save your life!"

Seeing Ye Chen being so serious, Liu Manqiong thought he was deliberately teasing her, so she also cooperated very well and said: "Okay, I understand. Next time I have my period and I'm in so much pain I feel like I'm dying, I'll eat it!"

Ye Chen hurriedly said: "No, no, no! If the medicinal effect of this Great Strength Pill of mine is a big bowl of rice, then period pain is like a hungry ant. You absolutely must not feed a whole bowl of rice to this ant. You only need to pick out a single grain from the bowl, and that will be enough for it to live for a long time."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "If you are in unbearable pain during your next period, just use a razor blade to gently scrape off a tiny bit of powder and take it in water. The effect will be absolutely immediate."

Liu Manqiong looked at Ye Chen in surprise and asked: "Are you sure you don't want to wink at me or raise an eyebrow or something? You're saying it so convincingly that I'm almost starting to believe it."

Ye Chen laughed: "It's fine, just take it as the truth."

Liu Manqiong didn't believe it in her heart, but she still readily accepted the Blood-Dispelling Heart-Saving Pill Ye Chen handed her and said with a smile: "Thank you! This is the first birthday gift I've ever actively asked for from a member of the opposite sex. Although receiving a Great Strength Pill is a bit strange, I'm still very grateful, and I will treasure it well!"

"Good," Ye Chen nodded and instructed: "You must remember what I said. Review it in your mind a few times to ensure that you can recall it when you encounter an emergency."

Liu Manqiong nodded repeatedly and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will!"

While the two were eating on the street, the Zhong family was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Tonight, Zhong Zitao's father, Zhong Yunqiu, was going to take Zhong Zitao to attend a banquet at the home of Hongmen leader Hong Yuanshan. ===== CHAPTER 2213 =====
