章 2013: Pity

It was close to dusk when Alex returned to his store and was glad to see that it was still open. He walked inside and saw a few people on the seats, waiting for their turn to be checked up.

"You're back!" Fang Yuxie said, nearly screaming out loud when she saw Alex walk in through the door.

"Hey!" Alex said and walked up to her. "How are you doing? Everything fine with the store?"

"Everything is fine," Fang Yuxie said. "Sister Yanwei has been taking good care of it in your absence."

"Glad to hear that," Alex said. "Where is she? Working?"

Just as he said that Wang Yanwei walked out of the room at the back. "Next!" she said out loud and turned toward Alex. "Oh, you're back. How are you feeling?"

"Fine," Alex said. That was a weird question to greet someone with. He looked around at the patients. "Do you want me to take over, or are you good?"
