Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Xia Liang offered a friendly reminder.
"You'd better take it before bed. You'll probably want to shower afterward."
"Oh."
Just when Xia Liang thought that was everything, she looked at him, embarrassed, and asked, "Um, can I eat pig trotters while taking this medicine?"
What a bizarre question. Xia Liang couldn't help but tease her.
"Did you also ask your doctor this when you took weight-loss pills in the past?"
"No... It's just that my family cooks them for me every time I go home. I'd be afraid they'd worry if I didn't eat any," she said with a touch of defiance. She couldn't possibly admit that pig trotters are just too delicious, could she? She even felt a bit pathetic. How can she want to lose weight while still craving delicious food? She wants to lose weight but can't find the resolve to give up her mother's braised pig trotters.
