As for the younger ones?
Lin Yijun, Xiao Lianfeng, Yue Xueyan…
They were of age, sure.
But Hao didn't want them touching it.
He didn't even know why he felt so strongly about it. He just did.
Maybe because he saw a bit of their youth in himself. Maybe because they had clearer futures ahead.
Even if the cigarette took longer to sell than the others, he was fine with that.
He wasn't entirely sure if the store's cigarette would carry the same effects as the ones from Earth.
Maybe it didn't rot your lungs. Maybe it didn't stain your teeth yellow.
Maybe it was just flavored smoke with a touch of spiritual fragrance.
But still… something about it just didn't sit right.
It felt wrong in a way he couldn't explain.
Hao was torn about it.
'Now the bubble gum, though -'
His brows lifted.
'Damn, when was the last time I had one of those?'
High school?
Was it during the exam week?
He was stressed. Brain fried. Needed to chew on something - anything.
