In the afternoon, he didn't go to work but drove to the nearby large pharmacy to buy medicinal materials, preparing to refine the Antidote.

After arriving at the pharmacy, he handed the prescription to the staff and asked them to gather the materials.

The staff member took the prescription and was instantly dumbfounded. Then, with a look of uncertainty, they sized up Lin Yifan's attire.

Upon realizing Lin Yifan was dressed casually, she curiously asked, "Sir, are you sure you want to gather these materials?"

"Yes, why? Does your store not have them?" Lin Yifan inquired.

"We do have them, but it's going to cost a lot of money!" the staff member honestly replied.

"Money is not an issue, just get the amount I need." Lin Yifan responded generously.

He had thought that the pharmacy didn't have these materials; little did he know they mistook him for a troublemaker because of his casual dress. It was really speechless.

However, this was also quite normal since the listed materials were expensive, with the total price exceeding ten million. It wasn't a small sum, so the staff's astonishment was justified.

With Lin Yifan's affirmation, the staff finally relaxed; then replied, "Alright! Sir, please wait a moment, I'll gather them for you now."

"Mhm!"

With nothing else to do, Lin Yifan sat on the wooden sofa in the pharmacy, fiddling with his phone.

Since it would take quite some time to prepare his order, sitting down and waiting was the best option.

As Lin Yifan was a major customer, he could enjoy different treatment, so a cup of exquisite iced tea appeared on the coffee table in front of him.

"Please enjoy, sir!" a beautiful figure said tenderly, sounding so smooth that it tickled one's senses.

However, Lin Yifan felt nothing, as each of his "wives" had a voice like an angel, and he was used to such tingling sensations.

Thus, he did not lift his head to look at the pharmacy lady and continued playing with his phone.

Seeing this, the enchanting female staff member was quite angered.

In the past, whenever she appeared in front of a customer, there wasn't a customer who didn't leer at her; now, she had encountered a setback and failed to captivate this major customer.

Although she was angry internally, she did not plan to give up and continued to seductively tempt him, "Sir, would you like a massage?"

"Is that an option?"

Lin Yifan suddenly became uneasy—he hadn't expected to enjoy such a treatment just coming to pick up some medicine. It seemed the service industry really did focus heavily on "serving" the customer.

"Yes, sir! As our pharmacy's major customer, you can enjoy S-tier treatment," the attractively dressed female staff member replied.

"Better not, I'm not that tired." Lin Yifan tactfully refused.

Just by hearing how sultry this woman's voice was, he knew she wasn't a good bet. Keeping his distance seemed wise.

"Since the sir does not need it, then I shall take my leave!"

With that, the female staff member immediately turned around, not sparing Lin Yifan a glance, and walked away with a scowl.

This was the most humiliating moment of her life; the final sentence she just managed to smile through was said with great restraint. Otherwise, she would have blown up on the spot.

Sensing the charged atmosphere, Lin Yifan smirked and then glanced at the departing figure of the female staff member out of the corner of his eye, noting how seductively she swayed her hips.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly slutty!"

Ignoring the female clerk, Lin Yifan continued to play with his phone, utterly engrossed.

Not long after, a robust figure walked in from outside the store.

He was dressed formally, in a suit and shiny shoes, and even sported a hairstyle like some big brother figure, looking like a successful person.

"Beauty! Give me a few boxes of xxx brand health products."

"Okay! Just a moment, I'll go get them for you now," the pharmacy clerk said before she went off to fetch the products for the man.

Having nothing better to do, the man looked around to see what else was different in the pharmacy.

When his gaze reached the sofa in the distance, he suddenly froze there.

Because he saw a figure both familiar and unfamiliar, unsure of the person's identity in his heart.

Driven by curiosity, he slowly approached the sofa, wanting to see the real face of the person.

The closer he got, the more excited he became, because the man sitting on the sofa playing with his phone looked too damn much like an old friend of his.

The cautious Lin Yifan had already noticed the man's sneaky behavior. However, since the man bore no malice towards him, he didn't expose him.

When the man got just two meters away from Lin Yifan, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Yifan! Is that you?"

Hearing this familiar address, Lin Yifan was a bit surprised. In Yanjing, not many people knew his nickname, so he was curious about who this man was.

So, he lifted his head to look at the man, wanting to see who this sneaky person ultimately was.

When he had a clear view of the stranger's face, he found it unfamiliar, seeming not to know the man, so he asked, "You are...?"

"I'm Er Dan! Your middle school desk-mate, remember? Don't you recognize me?"

"Er Dan, it's you! How did you get so tall and burly? Weren't you pretty chubby before?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.

Back in middle school, Er Dan was always his best friend and also the best classmate he had. They got along very well and sometimes even skipped school together by pretending to be sick or went bird-nesting.

Er Dan was warm-hearted and loyal, often going the extra mile for him by helping him drive off enemies or shielding him from rivals' attacks.

In sum, Er Dan was his best friend during middle school, and he had always been grateful for it.

After middle school ended, he had joined the military, so their contact had gradually faded, all the way until now.

Now, seeing this old friend from over a decade ago, he was extremely excited.

"Haven't you heard of women change greatly when they turn eighteen? Growing up, there definitely are some changes. It's not just me; you've also changed a lot. If it weren't for the recognizable contours, I really wouldn't have recognized you," Er Dan replied.

The current Lin Yifan, compared to the frail figure of before, had really changed too much; he truly felt a bit emotive.

"True, true! Growing up, one inevitably changes," Lin Yifan agreed; he then asked, "You're here to pick up medicine too?"

"No! I'm here to buy health products," Er Dan replied.

"Brother! Getting weak so quickly? That's not like you," Lin Yifan slapped Er Dan's shoulder and teased with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't overthink it; I'm buying health products to please my future in-laws," Er Dan explained.

"Oh!! That makes sense; it looks like there are good times ahead! Shouldn't you invite an old friend like me for a drink?" Lin Yifan asked jokingly.

"If it happens, I definitely will!" Er Dan answered without hesitation.
