Zhao Mengmeng ran for several dozen meters before she stopped, panting heavily.
The light rain hitting her body and face was neither here nor there; she wiped the droplets from her face and, upon seeing a pharmacy up ahead, made a beeline for it with determination.
The soaked Zhao Mengmeng startled the staff inside the store.
"Give me a bottle of emergency contraception," Zhao Mengmeng said to the staff member in a cold voice, standing at the counter.
She fished out some wet banknotes from her wallet and handed them over.
A bottle of emergency contraception was then placed into Zhao Mengmeng's hands.
"Miss, here's what you requested."
Zhao Mengmeng nodded, twisted open the bottle cap, and in front of the staff member, she poured out a pill and swallowed it without changing her expression.
"Miss, would you like me to pour you a glass of water?" the staff member asked tentatively, taken aback by Zhao Mengmeng's action.
