Chapter 556 Extra - True Feelings

Shu Tong paused for a moment, then nodded: "Mm."

Chen Ci seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his gaze sweeping over the small garden: "I have to go back now. Take care of yourself."

"Where to?" Shu Tong asked subconsciously.

"There are still many things at the Imperial Medical Academy that I need to coordinate, and I also need to go back to the Crown Prince's residence..."

“That’s right.” Shu Tong’s heart suddenly ached, but she still smiled and looked up at him: “Sister must miss His Highness very much. His Highness should indeed go back and visit him.”

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder...

Who knows what will happen after he goes back?

Shu Tong didn't know why her mind was wandering so wildly at this moment, and she even started to imagine scenes in her mind.

It's really unpleasant.

Seeing her purse her lips and lower her head, Chen Ci chuckled: "Jealous?"

"No," Shu Tong looked up, her face completely at ease. "My sister is the Crown Princess, why would I be jealous of her?"

Chen Ci looked at the stubbornness on her slightly pale face, raised his hand and rubbed her head: "I have other things to arrange when I go back, not to see anyone."

This is equivalent to explaining it to her.

Shu Tong couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Then I started to complain and feel annoyed.

She clearly wanted a divorce, but judging from how things are developing now, she might fall in love with him!

Seeing the fleeting smile on her lips, Chen Ci smiled back and said, "Take care of yourself. I might not have time to come over anytime soon."

Shu Tong snapped out of her daze: "Of course, I've been taking good care of myself, always have."

It seems like she was saying this to herself.

However, Chen Ci didn't mind and patted her on the shoulder: "Go back, I have to go."

"Okay." Shu Tong raised her hand and waved to her, "Goodbye."

Chen Ci nodded: "Goodbye."

Shu Tong then turned to leave, not noticing that she was moving her arms and legs in unison. Once she realized it, she quickly ran away.

Chen Ci smiled knowingly again.

She didn't bow to him just now, and even waved goodbye. That's a good sign, right? At least it means she's starting to face him with her true self.

Although Chen Ci himself was not clear about what he was going to do.

All they needed was for each other to confess their feelings.

That should bring the matter to a close.

But inexplicably, he seemed to start to feel genuine emotions.

Sometimes, when it comes to emotions, reason really isn't very useful.

After all, humans are emotional beings.

...

In the afternoon, the clinic received a new prescription, and all staff members, except for the patients, were required to take preventative medication.

Shu Tong led the logistics team to brew the medicine, and Chen Shi followed along. So when the medicine was ready, Chen Shi ran away as soon as she smelled it.

That tasted awful, absolutely terrible.

Dr. Lin gathered everyone to line up at the logistics department to collect their medicine. Most people drank it on the spot, and Ye Zhiyuan's line came in last.

Since we're both men, it was naturally quick and easy, and we finished in no time.

Shu Tong looked at the list and started counting who hadn't taken their medicine yet. Her brows furrowed slightly: "That silly child, Chen Shi..."

Upon hearing Chen Shi's name, Ye Zhiyuan put the medicine bowl on the table: "What's wrong?"

"Besides the few people on shift work, she's the only one in the logistics department who hasn't taken her medicine." Shu Tong said helplessly, "This child thinks it's too bitter, so she ran off as soon as the medicine was brewed..."

Ye Zhiyuan paused for a moment, then said, "I'll go deliver it to her."

Without even looking at Shu Tong's expression, he picked up a bowl of medicine and strode away.

Shu Tong only saw his tall back and smiled.

Great, the secondary couple's relationship is progressing smoothly.
