Xiao Yunying never dreamed that she would go downstairs to buy cold medicine, and a bolt of lightning would strike her into ancient times, turning her into a fat girl who was abandoned on her weddi...
Xiao Yunying moved gently, wiping the face powder off Chen Yuancheng's face bit by bit.
The two were very close, so close that Chen Yuancheng could smell her fragrance with every breath.
It was a delicate and refreshing fragrance that he had never smelled before.
Unlike other women who approached him in various ways, the incense she wore was irritating.
She wore no makeup, revealing fine downy hairs on her face. Her hair was dry and free of hair oil or hairspray, and its fragrance seemed to emanate from her body.
He was considerably taller than her, and from his line of sight, he could easily see Xiao Yunying's long, fair neck.
Chen Yuancheng closed his eyes, repeatedly reminding himself not to look at what was improper.
What he didn't know was that if he asked now, Xiao Yunying would tell him that there was something in the world called shower gel.
Xiao Yunying lifted his chin: "Raise your head, let me wipe the powder off your neck."
The warm handkerchief and the slightly cool fingers brushed against Chen Yuancheng's Adam's apple, and Chen Yuancheng stiffened, raising his hand to grasp her wrist.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Yuancheng said awkwardly, "It's... a little itchy."
Xiao Yunying used her left hand to take his hand away: "So you're ticklish. Then I'll wipe it off quickly. You must be allergic to pollen, that's why you're having this flare-up. We need to wipe off the remaining perfume powder."
Then I unfolded the towel, covered his entire neck, wiped him vigorously and quickly, and looked him over.
"Yes, it's clean."
Xiao Yunying got up and draped a handkerchief over the edge of the basin: "Lingqi, take the water out. When you come back later, I need to talk to your young master about something."
His young master had just recovered from his shortest illness thanks to Miss Xiao's treatment, so how could he dare disobey her now? Without receiving any instructions from his young master, he took the water and went out.
Xiao Yunying locked the door, took out her asthma inhaler and portable oxygen cylinder again, sat down on the edge of the bed, put the items on the bed, placed her hands on her lap, and sat up straight.
"I'm ready. Just ask me whatever you want."
Chen Yuancheng chuckled softly, unable to suppress a smile, and said, "Why be so serious?"
Emma, what a delicate and frail appearance she has!
No, I can't be seduced by his good looks; it could be a matter of life and death.
"Stop laughing. Be serious. Ask whatever you want."
Chen Yuancheng's smile faded: "Will you answer all my questions truthfully?"
"You ask first, and then I'll think about whether to answer. I won't say what I can't say, but I will never lie to you."
Chen Yuancheng said softly, "I have no problem."
"How could there be no problem?" Xiao Yunying waved the spray in front of Chen Yuancheng: "Aren't you curious where this came from?"
Chen Yuancheng countered, "Didn't you take it out of the basket?"
Hey, didn't he see it?
Although she took it out of the pharmacy with her back to him, she hadn't put the basket down while carrying it.
However, it's possible that he was having a medical episode and struggling to breathe, so he couldn't pay attention to what was happening around him.
"Aren't you curious about what this is?"
"Didn't you say this is medicine to relieve wheezing? The appearance is a bit unusual, the smell of the medicine inside is very strong, and the effect is excellent."
In the past, when I had an attack, it would take at least 15-25 minutes to get better, and sometimes I would even faint. This time, the attack was much shorter, thanks to you.
Xiao Yunying scratched her face, thinking, "How come this person has no curiosity at all? He doesn't ask anything. I'm at my wit's end."
"Yun Ying, what are you worried about? What are you concerned about?"
"Ah, I..." She really didn't know how to say it: "Yuancheng, can I trust you?"
The smile faded from Chen Yuancheng's eyes, and he said seriously and earnestly, "Okay."
"Then do you believe me?"
"believe."
Xiao Yunying thought for a long time, but Chen Yuancheng did not ask her any questions or urge her to do so.
If it were a complete stranger, or if it were a different illness, she wouldn't risk revealing her own unusual condition to treat them.
Unfortunately, it was Chen Yuancheng, whom she considered a friend, who fell ill; unfortunately, he suffered from asthma.
After much deliberation, Xiao Yunying made up her mind.
She was going all out.
She knew all too well the pain of an asthma attack; she couldn't bring herself to pretend there were no medications available to relieve her asthma and ignore it altogether.
“Yuancheng, as you can see, these two things can alleviate your condition. I can give them to you, but you must promise that you will never let anyone else see this medicine, and you must never let anyone know that I gave it to you.”
"Is this medicine of dubious origin?"
"No, oh dear, I don't know how to tell you, but in short, this medicine must not be allowed to spread. If it attracts the attention of others, it will cause me trouble."
Chen Yuancheng stared straight into Xiao Yunying's eyes and asked, "Since you have concerns, why are you willing to give it to me?"
"Because you are my friend, I didn't know you had wheezing before. I thought it was a congenital deficiency or a heart disease or something. Now that I know, I also have medicine to relieve wheezing, so of course I'm willing to give it to you."
She didn't understand medical principles, and even though the pharmacy had a wide variety of medicines, she didn't dare to prescribe medicine to others based on guesswork.
Moreover, she could tell that Chen Yuancheng didn't like others mentioning his illness, so she thought she would subtly inquire about it when they were more familiar with each other.
Unexpectedly, while strolling through the market together today, Chen Yuancheng had a relapse and she learned about his illness.
