"Sorry, I really do not have the time."
Li Shi shook his head and smiled, ignoring the follow-up reply, directly exited his WeChat account as the "Third-level Photographer", got up, and drove his Volvo to the nearby Kaide Plaza.
First, he shopped for two autumn outfits for his mother. When he passed by a skincare store, he thought about how his mother's hands tend to crack in cold weather, so he went in for a consultation.
The salesman recommended a moisturizing hand cream and reminded Li Shi that hands and feet are prone to cracks in winter, possibly due to a lack of certain vitamins in the body. They suggested a medical checkup so that supplements could be taken under supervision.
Li Shi knew this. After her mother's major surgery, they had gone for a follow-up and had her vitamins checked. Since then, he bought vitamins for his mother every year.
Still, he thanked the male salesman for his reminder and bought two sets of the hand cream he recommended.
