Translator: _Min_ |
Gu Dai was puzzled as to why Xu Huan insisted on holding her back, but she still nodded and reassured, “Don’t worry, Grandma, I won’t fall for him.”
Xu Huan breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Gu Dai with a heart full of pity. “Daidai, you’ve been wronged.”
During the three years Gu Dai had lost her memory, few had shown her concern. Hearing Xu Huan’s words now, her eyes instantly reddened, and she lowered her head, murmuring, “It’s all in the past. I’m very happy now.”
Xu Huan nodded, a smile spreading across her face, whispering, “Daidai, when you were asked earlier if you still liked Song Ling, Su Ting was nervously watching you the whole time.”
Gu Dai was taken aback, and after regaining her composure, she responded, “Hmm.”
Xu Huan cleared her throat and said, “Daidai, I think this Su Ting is a decent young man. If you were to be with him, Grandma would be fully supportive. As for that Song Ling, he’s absolutely out of the question. You must not be soft-hearted!”
Gu Dai pursed her lips, “I won’t be soft-hearted.”
Xu Huan nodded, and seeing that Gu Dai did not mention Su Ting, she smiled knowingly, “Young people are reserved. I won’t push you. Just let things take their natural course.”
Gu Dai’s ears turned pink, and she nodded hastily, “I’ll go see what Su Ting is doing inside.”
She hurried into the room, where she saw Feng Xiao looking expectantly at Su Ting.
Feng Xiao asked, “Do you feel anything?”
Su Ting shook his head, “I don’t feel anything.”
Feng Xiao, not giving up, pressed, “Really? Not even a little bit? My medicine has failed again!”
Gu Dai frowned, “Master, you had Su Ting test the medicine?”
Feng Xiao waved her hands dismissively, “It wasn’t my idea. He volunteered.”
Su Ting looked obediently at Gu Dai and nodded, “I asked Master for the medicine.”
Gu Dai opened her mouth but ultimately sighed.
Feng Xiao declared, “My medicine is professionally made, completely non-toxic, and even as an experimental drug, it’s beneficial for the body! As for what Song Ling said, it’s a sheer doubt of my medical skills. Compared to him, Su Ting is much better. I support you in winning over my disciple!”
Gu Dai exclaimed, “Master!”
Feng Xiao coughed lightly, “Alright, go have dinner.”
Gu Dai nodded, then squinted slightly, asking, “Master, are you going to get obsessed with your research and skip meals again?”
Feng Xiao stiffened, then walked out the door with her hands behind her back, “Of course not. I just suddenly remembered something, but it’s fine even if I don’t attend to it now. Let’s go, let’s go have dinner.”
Su Ting looked puzzled at Gu Dai.
Gu Dai leaned in and explained quietly, “My master gets obsessed whenever she works on her medicine, sometimes even fainting from days and nights without food or sleep. Whenever she gets like this, I hide the pills she makes.” “Every time she makes a new medicine, she wants to check on it every hour. Not seeing it is torture for her. Since then, she’s changed her bad habits.”
After explaining, Gu Dai added, “Of course, if it’s a medicine with an important use, I wouldn’t hide it.”
Su Ting nodded, quickly diverting his gaze and took a deep breath.
Just before Gu Dai returned to her room after dinner, she sensed something was off with Su Ting. She grabbed him, preventing him from leaving, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Su Ting replied in a muffled voice, “I’m fine.”
Gu Dai, not convinced, insisted, “Turn around, let me see.”
Su Ting refused, “No, it’s not necessary.”
Seeing this, Gu Dai resorted to force, pushing Su Ting against the wall and turning his face to see his flushed cheeks and thin sweat beads. She exclaimed in surprise, “What’s wrong with you?”
Su Ting shook his head in confusion, managing to say, “I don’t know, no, but I feel really uncomfortable right now. I want to go back to my room and take a cold shower.”
Gu Dai regained her composure, understanding Su Ting’s condition. She took out a silver needle from her carry-on and pricked his arm, then withdrew it, “Go ahead.”
Su Ting attempted to leave, but as he inhaled the faint fragrance in the air, his vision blurred, though Gu Dai’s figure became increasingly clear.
He couldn’t help but reach out and embrace Gu Dai, feeling the soft person in front of him, he let out a sigh, his voice hoarse, “Sis… Daidai, Daidai, I like you, I love you…”
Gu Dai’s fingers twitched, and as she looked up to see Su Ting’s handsome, flushed face, she raised her hand to embrace him..
