"I thought you would dislike it." Shen He said truthfully.
Song Jingcheng looked at her with an increasingly deep and unfathomable gaze, "Which inch of your skin have I not tasted?"
Chen He's face flushed, and he said unyieldingly, "What a coincidence! I've even touched a strand of hair on your body."
Song Jingcheng smiled.
"You just asked me about Xie Jin and Taotao's situation, but I don't know everything."
Song Jingcheng picked up some of what he knew and told it to Chen He.
"Xie Jin's family practices martial arts, and the bodyguards they train are famous throughout the country."
"I know that." Chen He said, "Jun Lin told me that Xie Jin also worked for the Jun family for a while, but later resigned."
"Yes. In fact, he resigned because of Taotao."
Shen He listened patiently.
Song Jingcheng explained, "Taotao was originally an orphan, and was later adopted by a couple named Zhong. When Taotao was eight years old, the couple became pregnant and, under the pretext of going on a trip, abandoned Taotao in the wilderness."
"Xie Jin picked her up."
After just hearing the beginning, Chen He was disgusted by the actions of the Zhong couple.
Unexpectedly, Taotao's life story was very similar to hers. "Maybe grandma also knew about Taotao's experience and felt pity for her, so she took the initiative to go to Taotao's doctor every few days."
"Perhaps."
"After that, Taotao followed Xie Jin?" Chen He thought so.
"No." Song Jingcheng shook his head. He said, "When I met Taotao, Xie Jingang was only 17 years old, and I was still a young man."
"After he found out what had happened to Taotao, he sent him to his grandmother's home in the countryside of Qing City. He provided the money, and his grandmother took care of Taotao as a guardian until he grew up."
"So Xie Jin is both Taotao's older brother and his nominal guardian. It wasn't until Taotao entered high school that he confessed his feelings to Xie Jin, and that's when they became a couple."
"But the good times didn't last long. In Taotao's second year of high school, he fell while running during the break at school. After that, he started having headaches and his memory quickly deteriorated."
"Because of this matter, Xie Jin resigned from the Jun family and came to Qing City to take care of Taotao."
Hearing this, Shen He couldn't help but ask: "How old is Taotao this year?"
Song Jingcheng said: "She is one year younger than you and will only be 24 in winter."
"So, Taotao has been sick for six years?"
Nodding, Song Jingcheng said with emotion, "For the past six years, Xie Jin has been with her. In the beginning, he took her all over the world to seek medical treatment, but it was only in the past two years that he finally accepted his fate."
Chen He felt a little sorry for Tao Tao. She casually said, "She and you are both in a very miserable situation. You both fell ill one after the other. You are really a pitiful pair of uncle and niece."
"I hope grandma can help her recover."
As he was talking, Taotao came out, "Uncle Song, Sister Chenhe, the lamb chops are ready! Aunt Qin also made beef and egg fried rice, come and eat quickly."
Neither of them was hungry, but they both decided to go and have dinner with Taotao.
Xie Jin felt a little restrained about this. As bodyguards, they had a special place for them to eat and rest.
Xie Jin seldom dined with Song Jingcheng, let alone now that there was a hostess in the house.
"Don't be shy." Chen He noticed Xie Jin's uneasiness and said, "I like Taotao very much, and my grandma likes Taotao too."
"Xie Jin, good fortune always comes to those who are lucky. Just like your husband was able to turn misfortune into fortune, I think Taotao can do the same."
Hearing this, Xie Jin breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Madam, for your understanding."
Aunt Qin cut up all the lamb chops. Chen He took the initiative to give the leanest piece of meat to Tao Tao, and said to her gently, "If it's not enough, there's more. Tao Tao, eat more."
"Sister Chen He, you are so kind! Thank you."
Although Taotao has a low IQ, Xie Jin taught her very well. She did not try it directly, but chose to use a knife and fork.
Chen He handed her a pair of disposable gloves and said, "There are no outsiders here, so let's just grab it and chew it. I'm a country girl, from the countryside, so we don't talk about that."
Taotao then asked, "What is a village girl?"
Chen He: “…”
Song Jingcheng said: "Your sister Chen He is like this."
Taotao understood, "A beautiful, kind-hearted sister is a village girl? Then I want to be a village girl too!"
Seeing Taotao's eyes full of hope and innocence, Xie Jin praised her with his eyes wide open: "Taotao is a country girl, eat quickly."
After having supper, Chen He sat on the sofa and rubbed her stomach to digest the food, while Song Jingcheng called Xie Jin to the study upstairs to discuss something.
Taotao was also sitting on the sofa playing with a tablet.
Noticing Taotao was reading a medical book on his tablet, Shen He was surprised. She leaned over and asked Taotao, "Do you like reading these?"
"Well, Grandma Su asked me to read mine. She said that if I could memorize the contents here before she came back, she would ask me to study medicine."
Grandma wouldn't make such a promise lightly.
Could it be that Taotao has a talent for medicine?
"Can you remember so much content?"
Taotao said, "I know them all."
"Then you can remember it?"
"I can remember it after reading it." Taotao said, "It's strange, I can't remember other things, but I can remember all the books Grandma Su introduced to me."
It’s confirmed.
Taotao might really be a little genius in studying traditional Chinese medicine.
Chen He is a little autistic.
Back then, she could neither distinguish the medicinal herbs nor memorize their effects and contraindications, so she spent all day watching the village carpenter make furniture.
Grandma Su was so angry that she called her a dog-brained person.
Seeing that Taotao was watching the video seriously, Chen He felt embarrassed to disturb the genius from studying, so she turned down the volume of her phone and watched the video silently.
