Capítulo 7: 7
Standing outside her apartment building, Xu Chenyao waved goodbye at Ilya finally after an 1 hour and 30 minutes.
She had returned home.
"Now that I know where you live, I'm afraid I'll have to come find you whenever I need some herbs..."
"I still haven't given up the thought of you being a serial killer or kidnapper so don't look for me..."
Xu Chenyao sighed she had surprisingly enjoyed her time with Ilya, he turned out to be a very interesting man.
*******************
"I can finally change out of these clothes..."
Xu Chenyao removed her geta and replaced them with her bunny slippers, sliding the shoe rack shut as she walked to the kitchen.
"Good thing these herbs are refrigerable, they'll still be fresh for me to use in the morning.."
She looked at the empty kitchen, she can't afford to not get her groceries tomorrow.
Placing the herbs in the freezer, she sobbed silently seeing the empty fridge.
"Must definitely get those groceries...but for now, I need to order takeouts.."
Xu Chenyao brought out her phone as she dialed a number, she used to order takeout from this particular restaurant when she was still in the university.
But after graduating she ditched ordering takeouts and began making home cooked food.
"Moshi, moshi[1] how can I help you?"
"I'd like to order, Kungpao chicken with rice, grilled shrimps and vegetables, hot and sour soup with a bottle water and ginger tea.."
"Alright...got it! May I know where you live and your name?"
"Tang district, Miss Xu, golden oasis apartments, room 26"
There was the small pause on the other end of the call before the voice came back again.
"We'll be there in 30 minutes and your bills comes to 150 yuan.."
Xu Chenyao nodded, she still had 250 yuan cash left in hand.
"Great!"
Xu Chenyao ended the call and walked to the bedroom, she tossed her phone on the bed and headed into the bathroom.
"Not enough herbs for a herbal bath today, I'll just take a normal shower for now.."
She turned on the faucet, filling the bathtub with warm water as she walked back to the closet to pick out some new clothes.
"I need to charge my laptop, now that granny Cheng's treatment is over I need to make a report.."
Xu Chenyao always made a report after each successful treatment, this was for her to keep track of all the do's and donts.
"Granny Cheng's case was relatively simple, I wonder if tomorrow's patient would push me out of my comfort zone.."
she quickly took a shower and rushed back to the living room to wait for her order.
"I can begin the report, since I still have time to spare.."

Xu Chenyao stretched, that was surprisingly quick and the delivery still wasn't there yet.
"What's taking them so long!"
Ding!
"Delivery miss Xu?"
Xu Chenyao raised a brow, how convenient.
"Coming!"
She grabbed the money from her purse and rushed to the door.
"Delivery for miss Xu?"
"That's me.."
The delivery man nodded and went through the list of orders just to make sure she got everything she wanted.
"Kung pao chicken with rice, grilled shrimps and vegetables, hot and sour soup with a bottle of water and ginger tea. Am I right, Miss Xu?"
"Yes.."
The deliveryman nodded and headed the plastic bags to Xu Chenyao.
"Thank you and here you go.."
She handed the delivery 200 yuan even though the bill was 150 yuan.
"Your change miss.."
"Take it as a tip.."
The deliveryman smiled and bowed slightly as he left, Xu Chenyao happily close the door as she ran back to the couch.
She had only eaten breakfast and she was too busy arguing with her annoying mother to have lunch.
And now she was having dinner at 9:30pm.
"Time to put our genes to the test, cause I can't afford to go to the gym right now..."
She happily open the wraps and breathe in the steam.
"I have to admit, I do miss takeouts but a doctor gotta leave a healthy lifestyle to show her patients.."
"..."
She cringe at her own words, fuck that! She knew how to keep herself healthy but it is also her job to keep her patients healthy.
"Mhm...yum..."
The chicken was seasoned to perfection, Xu Chenyao happily sat down and ate to her satisfaction.
"Ah I'm so full!"
She carried the empty wraps and tossed them in the trash can, next she wiped the table clean and sat back again.
"So far I get at most 10 to 20 orders of herbal medicine and herbal food a day, if this continues i won't be able to keep up. I'll have to open that clinic as soon as possible..."
Xu Chenyao scrolled through the list of orders, she had deadlines to meet each week and it increased as each week passed.
"I need at least 5 to 10 workers now, maybe 5 to start. I guess I'm going building shopping tomorrow.."
Xu Chenyao checked her account balance, she wasn't rich, she only had a few hundred thousand yuan, she didn't know if it would be a enough to rent and take care of the rest expenses.
"I guess I'll increase the prices a bit, after all they're made from quality herbs.."
Some even more harder to find and she had only a few left in her garden.
Xu Chenyao sighed and took a sip of the ginger tea, calming her nerves.
Though her customers were increasing, it wasn't a enough to leave her in a pinch right now.
