Although the toothache was an agonizing experience, Lin Yuan felt better by the next day. His mouth was just a little stiff and he had to avoid eating certain foods.
He had planned to enjoy a meal at Senior Yao Huo's hot pot restaurant, but that idea had to be shelved for now.
The doctor, who seemed to ramble endlessly, instructed Lin Yuan to have only liquid or semi-liquid meals for the next two days.
Lin Yuan didn't have specific food preferences. He could handle hot and spicy as well as bland foods. As long as it tasted good, he was fine. So, his current condition didn't present a great deal of inconvenience.
"Master, what happened to you?"
When Li Lizhi arrived for her composition lesson, she noticed Lin Yuan holding his mouth. He waved her away, saying "I had a tooth extraction yesterday. No class today."
"Oh, well, take care then."
