From the moment she arrived, she had shown a deep understanding of the illness. Although she had not explicitly said so, he discerned—from her acupuncture technique to the medication that had long been prepared in the fridge, down to her intimate knowledge of how bitter the medicine tasted—that Rong Yan was very familiar with his illness!

In fact, this “illness” wasn’t exactly an “illness.”

He had seen many doctors and consulted numerous experts, all of whom concluded that what he experienced was fantasy-induced palpitations resulting from psychological causes!

But he was certain that he was not someone who would be influenced by fantasies!

About this “illness,” under his deliberate suppression, not even a hint of it could be found online. How then was she so well-prepared, as if she had researched it thoroughly beforehand?

Li Shengxiao’s gaze stayed on her persistently, as if rooted to the spot, when a startling revelation exploded in his ear, “Five years ago, you should have been

17 years old.”

Five years ago, you should have been 17 years old.

The words that followed were on the tip of his tongue!

Rong Yan’s thoughts raced, and she blurted out, “Actually, I don’t really understand this illness either. It’s just that after helping Duidui last time, I came back and seriously researched it. The medicine I gave you just now is a prescription I developed myself, and I wanted to test it again before trying it on Duidui to see if it’d be effective.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with inquiry, “Mr. Li, did it have any effect on you after you took it?”

Li Shengxiao stared at her.

Rong Yan stood still, allowing him to look his fill.

Her behavior was too open and aboveboard, as if everything that had just happened was a mere coincidence. Li Shengxiao frowned slightly; though the pain in his heart had eased, there was still a slight throb in his temples that prevented him from delving deeper into the matter.

“Yes, much better.”

“That’s good. I was worried that the remedy I tried in my haste would be useless,” Rong Yan breathed a quiet sigh of relief, intending to put some distance between them, only to realize her wrist was still tightly clutched in his grip.

Embarrassed,

Just then, there was a knock at the door. She twisted her wrist, “I used your phone to call Doctor Cui; he should be the one arriving. I’ll go open the door.”

“Alright,” Li Shengxiao’s focused gaze remained on her, but his left hand finally let go.

Rong Yan took the chance to quickly dash off to open the door.

“Doctor Cui.”

As soon as she opened the door, the man in the white coat, who had not yet had a chance to take it off, rushed in and asked her urgently, “Where’s Shengxiao?”

“Inside.”

“I’ll go take a look.” Cui Jiangjing hustled in, expecting to see his friend in excruciating pain from an attack, only to find the person sitting on the sofa looking relatively well. He paused, “Shengxiao, you?”

What was going on?

He thought he had an attack, but he did not look like it.

Li Shengxiao finally took his eyes off Rong Yan and pinched his nose bridge with his slender fingers. He said calmly, “It’s nothing. Did you bring the medication?”

Was it really an attack?!

Cui Jiangjing was somewhat incredulous but didn’t delay in his movements, fishing out a medicine bottle from his person and handing it over, “Brought it.

Here.”

“I’ll get you a cup of water,” Rong Yan volunteered promptly.

She quickly handed him a cup of water.

Li Shengxiao, upon receiving the cup, either deliberately or accidentally brushed against her fingers before taking the cup, popped out a pill, and with eyes more dazzling than the stars, he looked at her and asked, “If I take this pill now, will it affect the efficacy of the one I just took?”

“What efficacy?”

Rong Yan was starting to regret giving him Little Baby’s medicine, waving her hands awkwardly, “It won’t, mine is a traditional Chinese medicine, only serving as a supplement.”

Cui Jiangjing, still confused, interjected persistently, “Miss Rong, what efficacy? I don’t understand a word.”contemporary romance

Li Shengxiao swallowed the pill, took a sip of water, and spoke before she

could, “It’S notnmg. Kong yan Just gave me an acupuncture treatment.’

She still hadn’t clarified why there were prepared doses of traditional Chinese medicine in the house. Until he got to the bottom of it, she preferred not to tell anyone this secret..
