The Sweetest Medicine

He Shigui broke into laughter, “Fine, then I’ll wait to try your cooking.”

He casually lifted some of Yu Gangan’s notes off the coffee table and had a look at them.

Baifang Pharmaceuticals.

These two words made He Shigui’s gaze sink a little…

He turned his head to look at his busy student. It seemed, she had really matured over this time and learned a lot as well as made a lot of friends.

…

Yu Gangan made a pot of soup and a few dishes, but the presentation wasn’t very good.

He Shigui sat at the table and smiled, “Not bad.”

How was it not bad? Obviously, these dishes did not look good. Yu Gangan furrowed her brows slightly and said unhappily, “Master Handsome, why don’t you wait a bit, I’ll get takeaway.”

She was probably born with no fate for the kitchen.

Cooking wasn’t actually that difficult, but she didn’t know why her food always turned black.

She had honestly done her best!

“You’ve already finished, why are you getting takeaway?” He Shigui picked up his chopsticks and tasted a mouthful of food. After chewing a little, he smirked and said, “The presentation isn’t too good, but the taste is not bad.”

“Really?”

“If you don’t believe me then try it for yourself.”

Yu Gangan picked up her chopsticks and placed some food in her mouth with partial doubt. The taste was clearly salty, but when she looked at He Shigui, he was enjoying it.

How much did her teacher suffer for him to think that this food was not bad?

Tears once again formed in Yu Gangan’s eyes and she looked away to endure her pain.

A moment later, she regained her composure and asked, “Master Handsome, where did you go during this time? What happened to you? Officer Zhou said you were involved in a murder and said you may have been killed.”

“Then, do you think I killed someone?” He Shigui asked.

Yu Gangan shook her head furiously, “Of course not. I believe you would never kill anyone. I was simply afraid that you were killed. Officer Zhou said that on the day of the seminar there was an accident on the boat and everyone saw you leave, but you suddenly disappeared without any news and no one could contact you. That’s why you were a suspect. But…what exactly happened that day and where did you go?”

“After the boat accident, the scene was a bit chaotic. While I was moving with the crowd, someone suddenly pushed me into the sea. Fortunately, I could swim and I ended up floating onto a deserted island. It wasn’t until a rescue boat past by recently that I was saved,” He Shigui replied.

Yu Gangan opened her eyes wide with shock and anger, “You were pushed into the sea? Who would do something that vicious?”

The thought of her Master Handsome floating in the sea for so long, made her hands and feet icy cold.

Seeing her shocked expression, He Shigui held onto her hand and said gently, “Don’t be afraid, aren’t I fine now? You have no reason to worry.”

Yu Gangan nodded her head, but the thought of it still frightened her.

No wonder her teacher couldn’t come back, no wonder she couldn’t get through to his phone, no wonder he looked so vulnerable in the police station today.

“Then, do you know the person that was killed on the boat?” Yu Gangan asked.

Of course, He Shigui knew, “Professor Jiang from Baifang Pharmaceuticals. The person that the police suspected me of killing was him, right?”

Yu Gangan nodded, “Because he was killed and you were missing, the police naturally connected the two of you together.”
