The Sweetest Medicine

“Go tell your brother…”

Jiang Qi immediately cut in, “I’m too scared. My brother said he was going to find the person that threw the albums and kill them.”

He Shigui’s tone remained calm, “That was when you were young. So much time has already passed. The dead is never as important as the living. Not to mention that you’ve already learned your lesson.”

Jiang Qi didn’t know how to explain it to He Shigui. If they were talking about someone else, then this may have been the case, but Gu Yanyu was different.

Seeing that she was still shaking her head, He Shigui said, “In that case, send Gu Shuling a message and tell her you’ve already told your brother everything.”

Jiang Qi blinked her dewy eyes, “Will that work?”

“You can give it a try,” He Shigui instructed. “When you see her in the future, don’t look guilty and she will likely believe you.”

“OK.”

The two continued to move forward. Jiang Qi bit her lip and sneaked a glance at the man beside her. “Don’t worry. Even if I get beaten to death, I won’t expose you to Sister Yu.”

He Shigui scanned his eyes lightly across her.

Jiang Qi smiled and said sincerely, “Thank you, Master Handsome.”

“I’m not your master,” He Shigui said as he continued forward.

Jiang Qi nodded her head, “Yes, Master Handsome.”

He Shigui: “…”

“Master Handsome, I actually understand you. You’re simply disappointed. You don’t really like her. I used to like my brother. A lot of people even thought I had a brother complex, and I thought so too. So, I thought I would be extremely resistant if my brother found a girlfriend and I would try to cause trouble. To put it simply, I thought of myself as the bad sister-in-law that people often talk about.

As the woman spoke, she laughed in a silly manner, “But, after Sister Yu appeared, I don’t know how, but I naturally accepted her. Perhaps, it’s because I like her as well. She’s pretty, she has a good personality, and her medical skills are great. If not for her, my grandfather would probably still be living on a drip. By the way, since Sister Yu is so skilled and you’re her teacher, does that mean you’re better than her? Can you help my grandfather check his pulse someday…?”

He Shigui interrupted the chattering girl, “I don’t check pulses.”

Jiang Qi was shocked, “Oh? Aren’t you Sister Yu’s teacher?”

“I’m a doctor of Western medicine,” He Shigui replied.

Jiang Qi, “…”

Huh? How did a doctor of Western medicine teach a doctor of Chinese medicine?

…

Yu Gangan was in the middle of a dream. The snow had been coming and going all day, so she ended up dreaming about the teenager in the snow again. She dreamed about Brother Jiang telling her to run.

Amidst the chaos and confusion, she was awoken by the sound of her ringtone.

Fang Zhihan was calling and Yu Gangan immediately sat up in bed.

She opened the door, rubbed her eyes, and looked at Fang Zhihan’s handsome face as he stood outside, “What’s wrong?”

Fang Zhihan’s muscular and powerful arms wrapped around her waist as he pressed his body firmly against hers, “I finished so I came to look for you.”

“It’s so late. You should be sleeping already.”

“Since we’re at a hot spring resort, shouldn’t we go soak in the hot spring?”

Fang Zhihan looked at her ambiguously as his lips fell on her ear.

She suddenly felt a tingle travel down her spine to her heart. Yu Gangan pursed her lips and said, “But…I already soaked in one earlier.”

“Keep me company.”

She couldn’t possibly refuse the man’s teasing.
