Tang Li, who had turned around, stopped pretending and squatted down with a relaxed expression to pick up the porridge and medicine that were placed on the ground. She hummed a little tune as she prepared to go back to her room.
Just as I was about to close the door, a foot blocked the entrance.
Tang Li looked up and was met with Lu Zhixing's handsome face.
Does your stomach still hurt?
Oh, my belly.
Tang Li immediately bent over, clutching his stomach, frowning, and cried out in pain:
"Fourth Brother, I just came out to get medicine. Stomach aches aren't something that get better so easily. I'll go back to my room to boil water and take my medicine. Thank you, Fourth Brother. Goodnight, Fourth Brother."
Lu Zhixing reached out and pushed the door open:
"Fourth Brother isn't sleepy yet, and doesn't want to say goodnight to you."
He was already very strong, and Tang Li, who was pretending to be sick, couldn't very well become an incredibly strong obstacle.
After Lu Zhixing came in, he sat on the sofa and pointed to the things in Tang Li's hands, saying:
"I ordered the porridge for you while I was waiting at the red light. It's at the perfect temperature now, so eat it quickly."
How thoughtful.
Tang Li put down what she was holding and turned around to get the kettle:
"I'd better boil some water first to take my medicine. My stomach hurts and I don't have much of an appetite."
Lu Zhixing smiled, untied the bag, and handed her the medicine:
"The medicine I bought for you doesn't need to be taken with boiled water; you can just chew it directly."
Chew it up?
Are medicines made this advanced now?
Tang Li was skeptical, but after accepting the two small pills from Lu Zhixing, she began to play dumb:
"Fourth Brother, I'm afraid of hardship."
Lu Zhixing chuckled to himself:
"The medicine that Fourth Brother bought isn't bitter, try taking one."
Tang Li felt like cursing.
I don't believe you for a second. There's no such thing as medicine that isn't bitter.
Seeing that Tang Li hesitated to take a bite, Lu Zhixing poured a pill from the bottle into his own mouth and chewed it.
After finishing eating, he said:
"Fourth Brother has tasted it; the medicine is sweet."
Under Lu Zhixing's repeated urging, Tang Li thought that since Lu Zhixing had already taken them, she should take two too, and there shouldn't be any side effects.
So she gritted her teeth, put the medicine in her mouth, and chewed it once.
Well...
It really is sweet!
