"She was the girl who saved me in Qianmugou ten years ago."
"Impossible! Wasn't that girl dead? Jinheng, stop deceiving yourself!"
Chen Jinheng's brows gradually relaxed. He took a mahogany box from Han Ying, placed it on the round wooden table, and said softly,
"Ruoyan, I've come today to deliver medicine to you. I'll be joining the army in a few days, so take care of yourself!"
