Hua Xiaolou tried to spit out the medicine, but the pills were only the size of broad beans, so the amount of liquid that dissolved into the pills was not much. After it flowed down her throat, she couldn't spit it out, and she was startled and felt inexplicably uneasy.
However, he couldn't vomit in front of Ye Qingqing, so he had to force himself not to swallow it. Once he was away from Ye Qingqing, he would induce vomiting to get it out. Regardless of whether there was a problem with the medicine, Hua Xiaolou would not swallow it.
Better safe than sorry.
Ye Qingqing sneered inwardly, but smiled warmly on the surface and asked with concern, "Is it a bit bitter? I added a lot of wild ginseng this time."
Hua Xiaolou smiled slightly and said softly, "It's just a little bit, nothing compared to what I used to eat."
Actually, he had no idea whether it was bitter or not, and he didn't dare to taste it at all, afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself and swallow it.
There was no smile in Ye Qingqing's eyes, only a faint sarcasm. She hadn't added much wild ginseng to the pills at all. The ingredients of this pill were exactly the same as the last one, but... she had added some other things.
That pill must still be in Hua Xiaolou's mouth; she hasn't swallowed it yet.
"Have some water to rinse your mouth."
Ye Qingqing took a teacup out of Hua Xiaolou's bag. He was prone to dry cough in winter and always carried a thermos when he went out to soothe his throat. She unscrewed the thermos and handed it to Hua Xiaolou.
"Drink it quickly!"
He urged him again, but Hua Xiaolou still didn't move. Whenever he drank water, the medicine in his throat would be swallowed down with the water. He was worried that there might be something wrong with the pills, even though the possibility was extremely small.
Ye Qingqing, that idiot, didn't even realize his identity. She was only focused on curing him, so the possibility of her poisoning him was negligible.
But it is not equal to zero.
Therefore, Hua Xiaolou was unwilling to take this risk.
"I really don't find it bitter, I don't need to drink it... cough cough..."
Hua Xiaolou had just refused when her throat started coughing uncontrollably. She coughed several times, coughing up the medicine, her mouth filled with the aroma of the medicine, and her teeth and cheeks were moistened with saliva.
"You're coughing, drink some water!"
Ye Qingqing pretended to be concerned, practically holding the water glass to his lips. If he didn't drink it soon, he would definitely become suspicious. Hua Xiaolou was annoyed by Ye Qingqing's enthusiasm, but he couldn't show it at all.
And the water must be drunk.
Based on his years of experience in drug manufacturing, he judged that the possibility of the pills containing poison was extremely small, practically zero.
The source of the spiritual energy hasn't been found yet, and we can't afford to offend that idiot Ye Qingqing. Water... we have to drink it. Hua Xiaolou gritted her teeth and forced a smile, "Thank you, I'm thirsty."
After taking a few sips of water and watching Hua Xiaolou's Adam's apple bob a few times, Ye Qingqing felt relieved. But she couldn't leave yet, so she pulled Hua Xiaolou aside and talked to her for a while longer.
Zhu rambled on and on, rambling on about all sorts of things, until he was certain that the medicine had taken effect in Hua Xiaolou's body, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Take this medicine for now, and see how it goes in half a month."
Ye Qingqing hurriedly said goodbye and left. The moment she turned around, the smile on her face froze and turned into a cold laugh.
Hua Xiaolou lied to her about having congenital heart disease, so she'll make that bastard truly suffer a heart attack.
The poison she put in the pills was called "Heart-Slaying Pill" or "Heart-Severing Pill." It was said that one should not be moved by emotions, because once one was moved by emotions, one's heart would spasm and contract, as if one's heart had been pierced.
Emotions are not just romantic love, but also familial love, friendship... encompassing all seven emotions and six desires.
As long as a person is alive, they will have seven emotions and six desires, and Hua Xiaolou is no exception. Therefore, for the rest of his life, his heart will be forever roasted in the fire.
