Hu Zhenbo whispered, "After all... it's meat. These things aren't easy to catch. You have to stay up all night and wait to catch them."
Hearing this, Su Ruyi nodded in understanding and said, "You're obviously allergic to foreign proteins. Don't eat random things in the future. Remember, you're allergic to frogs, so don't eat them anymore. Did I tell you before not to eat raw, cold, spicy, or irritating foods, or foods that might trigger allergies?"
These are the kinds of things doctors often say to patients, and Su Ruyi naturally said them to Zhong Misu as well, so there was nothing wrong with them.
Zhong Misu said sullenly, "I understand, Dr. Su. I'm really sorry to have troubled you to make this trip."
Su Ruyi brushed it off with a few words and didn't say anything more. She just said expressionlessly, "This ointment needs to be changed. Let me apply some more anti-allergy ointment for you."
After saying that, she started to help Zhong Misu carefully scrape off the ointment from her legs, and then disinfected it several times to completely remove all traces of the ointment.
Then, a layer of anti-allergic and soothing traditional Chinese medicine was applied.
This ointment is also something she always keeps on hand.
In summer, there are many mosquitoes and poisonous insects, so she bought a large jar of ointment, a must-have in the countryside, and placed it on the medicine cabinet.
Su Qiushi was a meticulous person; every time he went out, he would scoop out a large amount of the product and apply it to his body and face.
As soon as the ointment was applied to her leg, Zhong Misu felt no discomfort at all.
After Su Ruyi finished treating Zhong Misu, she re-stitched the splint, secured it firmly, and changed the bandages to new, clean ones before leaving.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Misu grabbed her arm: "Ruyi, I...I have something to tell you."
Su Ruyi instinctively struggled, and Zhong Misu cried out in surprise, being pulled directly from the kang (heated brick bed) to the ground.
Hu Zhenbo rushed forward and helped him onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
Su Ruyi said coldly, "Zhong Zhiqing! Didn't I tell you to stay away from me and not touch me?"
Zhong Misu said anxiously, "But Ruyi, we are destined to be together."
Su Ruyi sneered: "Zhong Zhiqing! Do you know what era we live in? Now you can only have one husband and one wife. The kind of bliss of having two wives that you fantasize about is impossible to achieve!"
These words were spoken with great weight.
Zhong Misu froze on the spot: "No, I didn't mean that at all."
Su Ruyi sneered again: "So what do you mean? Seeing that Su Qiaoqiao is about to be sentenced, you turn around and come to me. Don't you think you're utterly despicable?"
Having her thoughts pointed out so directly and so incisively, Zhong Misu could no longer save face.
He turned his head away: "We're human, and humans make mistakes. But if we make a mistake, we can just correct it, right? From now on, I... I'll allow you to make mistakes too..."
Su Ruyi frowned deeply and looked at Hu Zhenbo.
The latter, quite perceptively, withdrew, saying, "I...I need to relieve myself!"
Only Su Ruyi and Zhong Misu remained in the room.
Su Ruyi walked to Zhong Misu's side, raised her hand and slapped him twice loudly across the face.
After slapping her, Su Ruyi felt extremely relieved!
She had wanted to do this for a long time. What kind of bullshit five lifetimes of lovers is this? It's just here to annoy her.
After being slapped, Zhong Misu was completely stunned: "Ruyi, how could you hit me? How could you hit me? How could you hit me?"
His astonishment was no less than being struck by lightning.
Su Ruyi stood there, chin held high: "I hit you! -- Or you can hit me back?"
Zhong Misu trembled, realizing that her wavering and wishful thinking would probably never come true.
He murmured, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I acted impulsively..."
Su Ruyi smiled contemptuously: "It's alright. If you continue to act impulsively, I will continue to beat you. I'll beat you every time I see you. Got it?"
Zhong Misu nodded blankly: "I'll remember, Ruyi."
"Slap! Slap!"
Su Ruyi raised her hand and delivered two more heavy slaps.
I used 30% of my strength.
Zhong Misu's tears flew out, and both cheeks were visibly red and swollen: "You... why did you hit me again?"
"Don't call me Ruyi, call me Su Zhiqing, or Doctor Su. I've told you many times. If you call me that again, I'll hit you! Every time you call me that wrong, I'll hit you!"
As Su Ruyi spoke, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands with disgust, as if Zhong Misu's face was something dirty.
Without another glance at Zhong Misu, she turned and left.
"Grandpa, you don't need to stand up for me like this."
The next morning, Su Ruyi, sporting two panda eyes, picked up a delicate pastry made by Su Qiushi and stuffed it into her mouth, saying to him indistinctly, "There's absolutely no need for that."
Su Qiushi blushed: "You...you knew all along?"
Su Ruyi nodded.
Su Qiushi rubbed his hands together, eager for a fight: "That little bastard, he's suffered, isn't he?"
Su Qiushi was old and slept very soundly at night, so he didn't hear Hu Zhenbo calling Su Ruyi to go to the emergency room.
Su Ruyi recounted the events of the previous night, then couldn't help but laugh, "Grandpa, I know you did this to avenge me, but isn't this a bit too childish?"
Su Qiushi glared at him: "How is that childish? No, why are you making house calls? If you hadn't, he would be itching terribly by now. You child, I wanted him to come crying and begging you to apologize."
Su Ruyi said calmly, "They're not anyone to me, and we'll never have anything to do with each other in this life. Why bother? Let's just treat them like strangers and keep things distant."
Su Qiushi was somewhat taken aback: "You child, with your temperament..."
Su Ruyi cheered up again: "Grandpa, this dish is really well made today. It has the aroma of sesame oil, and the saltiness is just right."
She pointed to a small dish of pagoda vegetables on the table.
Su Qiushi said proudly, "Of course! I'm not bragging, but my cooking skills are absolutely top-notch! Sigh! If I weren't a doctor in this life, my greatest wish would be to be a chef!"
Having said that, Su Qiushi raised his eyes and looked at Su Ruyi: "Ruyi, I want to pass on all the unique skills I have learned in this life to you."
Seeing his sudden serious expression, Su Ru sat up straight as well: "Grandpa. Your secret technique?"
Su Qiushi smiled and said, "Well, now that I have the surname Su, this is the Su family's secret technique. The Su family's secret technique consists of ten prescriptions for prepared medicines... In the past, during years of great disasters and epidemics, these prescriptions saved millions of lives... The first prescription is..." He began to speak eloquently.
Su Ruyi, standing to the side, grew increasingly astonished as she listened, because—the ten prescriptions Su Qiushi mentioned were actually from a book she had studied three days ago, and specifically the first three pages of that book!
