“Mom, the doctor said that it’s best for you to drink more warm water. You shouldn’t drink the water here.”The girl was beside the woman and said with concern.
The woman looked at the few bottles of water in the vending machine in front of her and did not say anything. She raised her hand and gently stroked the top of the bottle. Finally, she stopped on a bottle of peach-flavored beverage that had been selling well for more than ten years.
“The doctor has also told you that it’s best if you don’t drink too much sugar in beverages ” The girl continued to nag at the side.” Besides, Mom, why do you buy this every time you buy water? You only drink a few mouthfuls and then put it aside. I’ve never seen you finish it all. If you don’t like it, why do you buy it?”
Anhao heard it clearly from a distance. Her eyes fell on the row of drinks and she walked over quietly. She felt in her pocket and remembered that she didn’t have any money in her clothes before she went out. She picked up her phone and scanned the payment code on the machine. When the peach-flavored drink fell out of the machine, she bent down and picked it up.
As she picked it up, she turned to look at the woman standing beside her.
The woman had obviously noticed Anhao’s sudden approach, and her eyes were already slightly stiff. When she saw Anhao pick up the bottle of peach-flavored drink, her eyes stared straight at Anhao.
Anhao did not seem to notice the surprise in her eyes. She smiled and said,”This brand of beverage has been selling well around the world for more than ten years. The reason why it sells well is that there are no additional ingredients, so the shelf life has never exceeded three days. It’s a very healthy beverage.”
As she spoke, she looked at the girl who was looking at her in confusion.”I liked to drink it when I was young. At that time, my mother was still alive. I always pestered her to buy me this peach-flavored drink, but at that time, my mother always said that it was bad for children to drink too much, so she only allowed me to drink half a bottle.”
The girl was still looking at her in confusion. She didn’t understand why she was suddenly standing there and blabbering. Was it just a bottle of drink?
She simply bought a bottle and stuffed it into the woman’s hand.”Mom, let’s go.”
However, after hearing Anhao’s words, the woman stood rooted to the ground and her eyes fell on the bottle in Anhao’s hand.
“Mom, what’s wrong?”
Anhao looked at her with a smile. No emotions could be seen in her eyes. She only smiled and said,”Aunty, although this drink tastes good and has no added ingredients, it’s not considered freshly squeezed juice. If you’re not feeling well, you should drink less.”
After saying that, Anhao raised her eyebrows and nodded politely at her as if she was a stranger. Then, she turned around and left.
The woman stood rooted to the ground and did not turn back to look at Anhao’s back. Her hand was tightly gripping the bottle of drink in her hand and did not move for a long time.
“That’s right, Mom. You’re already very healthy at your age. Other than frequent headaches, you don’t have any other problems. Don’t get diabetes or something because of this drink.”
As soon as the girl’s voice fell, Anhao did not stop walking. She turned her back to them and smiled coldly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
The woman finally spoke up.” Diabetics has nothing to do with sweets, unless you really have diabetes and need to control your sugar intake. You’re usually ignorant and incompetent. I told you to study medicine, but you refused. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by the passing doctors when you say such things in the hospital?”
The girl was inexplicably scolded by her mother. She stuck out her tongue and said,”Okay, okay, I don’t understand. Mom, you’re the best. You know everything. Let’s go back. Anyway, the doctor has prescribed medicine for you. This is an old illness. It’s not a serious illness.”
The woman looked down at the drink in her hand and didn’t say anything at first. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly turned around and saw Anhao’s figure walking out of the main entrance of the hospital.
After staring for a long time until Anhao’s figure completely disappeared from the door, the woman held the drink bottle in her hand tightly, her gaze dim and complicated.
“Mom, what are you looking at?” The girl looked outside and didn’t see anyone strange. However, her mother’s gaze made her feel a little strange.
The woman didn’t answer. She shook her head and sighed.”My head hurts again. I won’t go back to New York today. Let’s go back to the hotel.”
“Not going back to New York?” I’ve already made an appointment with my friend to go out tomorrow afternoon ”
“It’s better for you to have less contact with those scoundrel friends of yours.”
The girl’s expression turned ugly, but she didn’t dare to retort. She only muttered softly,””I know, Mom ”
The girl beside him called out for her mother again and again. The woman’s face darkened a little, but the figure in front of the hospital door had already disappeared.
Anhao had already walked to the white nanny van parked in front of the hospital. When she reached the car, she looked at the half-empty bottle of drink in her hand. She hadn’t had the taste she liked when she was young for many years. She didn’t expect it to taste so bitter now.
Such a bitter thing had actually been popular for so many years.
She closed the lid expressionlessly and placed it on an empty bench.
Then, he glanced at the lonely pink bottle on the bench.
When she was young, her mother did not allow her to drink too many drinks. She only allowed her to drink occasionally, and it was also agreed that they would drink half each and share it with each other. This way, they could drink together, and they would not have tooth decay because they drank too much sweet stuff.
This was what her mother used to coax her when she was young.
When she was young, she had once gone out with Yi Zeyang behind her mother’s back. Yi Zeyang spoiled her very much and would buy her many bottles. She would secretly bring them home and hide them in the fridge, but her mother would always find out.
Her mother would hold her in front of the mirror and let her open her mouth to look at her teeth. She would say gently,”Anhao, quickly take a look at your teeth. There are already slight decayed teeth. Do you want the insects to eat all your teeth?”
She would curl up in her mother’s arms and say that she didn’t want the worms to eat her teeth. Then, as usual, she would make a promise with her mother that she would share half of the drinks with her mother.
Although it was a rather strange way to get a one-out, Anhao and her mother were used to leaving half of this peach-flavored drink for each other every time they drank it.
“Anhao, is there anything uncomfortable with the injury on your back?”At this moment, Zuo Yue’s mother, Xu Yuan, who had already finished talking to Zuo Yue in the car, got out of the car. She saw Anhao in front of her and asked her directly.
