"Junior sister, you can't murder your senior brother!"
Su Jingzhan was fine if he hadn't looked at the ingredient list, but once he did, he felt like his throat wasn't his own anymore, and he felt nauseous all the time.
"I'm clearly trying to help you, okay? Kangfuxin Liquid is very effective for oral ulcers."
"Besides, I told you not to look at the ingredient list, and you just didn't want to, but you insisted on looking at it."
Su Jingzhan's lips twitched slightly, as if he were enduring some kind of inner torment.
Su Jingzhan wanted to slap himself, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he just slapped his hand instead.
Look! Look! Don't you know curiosity killed the cat?!
Yan An went to the ward to check on Xu Nianxia again. "Sister Nianxia, you're recovering well. You can eat normally now, but you should stick to a light diet."
"This is all thanks to An'an."
Xu Nianxia became much more lively and even started joking with Yan An.
"It has nothing to do with me. If you ask me, Sister Nianxia's quick recovery is all thanks to Brother Zichen."
Who knows if Yan An's words had a hidden meaning, but they both blushed at the same time.
"Junior sister, you are heartless. I deserve credit for taking care of Nianxia, and you have completely forgotten about me."
"How could I forget my senior brother? He's a huge contributor. I've already had Bai Tao prepare a sumptuous meal for you. How about that? Pretty generous, right?"
"That's enough, that's more than enough."
Yan An heard someone knocking on the door outside and his consciousness flashed out of the space.
Bai Tao and her three companions carried eight food boxes. "Miss, do you think this is enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough."
Yan An looked at all the food; it was enough for Su Jingzhan to eat for two days.
Bai Tao and the other three put the food box inside the house, closed the door, and went out.
With a flash of divine sense, Yan An and the food box appeared in the space.
"Senior brother, Zichen brother, come and eat!"
Su Jingzhan didn't hesitate at all. He had been looking forward to this meal for two days, and finally he was able to have a proper meal.
Looks like eating hot pot every day isn't a good idea.
Several of the nearly thirty dishes were spicy, and Su Jingzhan felt his mouth hurt again just looking at them.
"By the way, junior sister, just now, it gave me a fright. Suddenly, a human head with long black hair appeared in the lab. You have no idea how scary it was."
Su Jingzhan ate while talking, without wasting a moment.
"A head with long black hair?" Yan An was puzzled, but then it suddenly occurred to her, "Could it be a wig?"
Yan An got up and walked towards the laboratory, where the wig was placed steadily on the table.
"I didn't expect it to actually be a wig. Now Sister Nianxia won't have to go bald."
[It appeared today? Could it have been from that time?]
The wig was indeed what Yan An wanted. In ancient times, regardless of age or gender, people would grow their hair long from a young age.
Now that Xu Nianxia has lost her hair, if she were to appear on the street like this, she would probably be mistaken for a monster.
If I wait until my hair grows out before going out, I don't know how many years that will take.
Ever since the surgery, Yan An had been saying how nice it would be to have a wig, and unexpectedly, a wig appeared today.
"Yue Xiyuan's contribution was quite significant."
"If An'an is still satisfied, why don't I try a little harder to make her wish come true sooner?"
"That's possible, but I don't have any other ideas for the time being."
After being teased by Yan An, Yue Xiyuan was not angry. He just shook his head indulgently, and a faint smile spread from the corner of his mouth.
Yan An silently put the wig away, thinking that he would give it to Xu Nianxia once her wounds had healed.
"Someone's here, I'm going out for a bit."
Before Yue Xiyuan could even open his mouth, Yan An's consciousness flashed and he left the space.
"What's wrong?"
"Miss, Miss Qi is here to see you."
"Qi Yanyan? Where is she now?"
"They're waiting in the pavilion in the courtyard."
"Go and prepare some of the things you researched before, and bring them to Yan Yan to try."
"Yes, Miss."
"Yan Yan, what brings you here today? Did you tell me you wanted something I made?"
When Qi Yanyan heard that Yan An had arrived, she raised her head and turned around.
Her eyes were extremely red and filled with tears; her lips twitched, and she looked very aggrieved.
The moment Qi Yanyan saw Yan An, she pursed her lips slightly, but tears still welled up uncontrollably.
"An'an~"
Yan An panicked when she saw Qi Yan Yan crying with tears streaming down her face. She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her own handkerchief.
But no matter how much you wipe, you can't finish wiping it off.
"What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson!"
Qi Yanyan shook her head, then nodded, her long eyelashes glistening with tears, looking as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water.
Yan An stayed with Qi Yan Yan for a while while she cried. When she finally stopped, she was sobbing, her eyes were red and swollen, and her pale lips were extremely dry.
Yan An handed her a cup, and seeing that Qi Yanyan was much better, he wanted to use this opportunity to ask her something.
"Have some water, and can you tell me what's wrong?"
It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, but when asked, one or two glistening tears appeared, and then tears fell like rain, making it all the more heartbreaking to watch.
To find out what happened, we'll probably have to wait until Qi Yanyan is feeling better.
"I heard that Yuelaike has a new dish called 'hot pot', which is very delicious. People go there every day and sometimes you can't even get a table, so I went to queue up early this morning."
Qi Yanyan continued to convulse, explaining to Yan An in fits and starts.
Could it be because they couldn't get a turn in line? It's truly frustrating to really crave a certain dish but be unable to eat it for various reasons.
Yan An knew that Qi Yan Yan was a girl who loved to eat, so he naturally attributed the incident to hot pot.
Fortunately, hot pot doesn't have a mouth; it already has a pot, and now it has to carry another pot on its back.
"I just heard... I heard... I heard... Waaah..."
What did I just hear...? It doesn't seem to be about hot pot...
Yan An simply took out a pack of tissues and handed them to Qi Yan Yan one by one.
Qi Yanyan held the tissue and felt it was unusually soft. "What is this? It seems... to be paper... much softer than... Xuan paper."
"These are tissues, for everyday use. You can use them to wipe your mouth or your tears."
[Since you can still focus on tissues, it seems like there shouldn't be any major problems.]
"Could you...send me some? I think...they're really useful..."
Qi Yanyan kept sobbing, but she didn't forget to ask for tissues.
"Okay, take as much as you want when you get back later."
"Hmm." Qi Yanyan thought about how she had just sat there crying and then asked for things, and felt a little ridiculous. She immediately stopped crying and started laughing.
