"Don't you think it's bitter?" Yu Tanqi couldn't help asking.
Jiang Shi smiled slightly: "It is very bitter, but after drinking it enough, you get used to it."
When he was still in swaddling clothes, he drank a mixture of medicine and milk.
After taking medicine for so many years, he seemed to have become numb to the bitter taste of the medicine. No matter how bitter the medicine was, he could drink it without any expression.
Yu Tanqi said to Linlang, "Linlang, go get some snacks."
"yes."
Just as Grandma Gao was about to speak up to stop her, Yu Tanqi looked at her and said, "Grandma Gao, I'm going to give it to the prince. I won't eat it."
Grandma Gao was stunned and stopped talking.
Yu Tanqi met Jiang Shi's stunned eyes and said distressedly, "Even if you are used to taking medicine, it is impossible for you not to taste the bitterness. I can't eat snacks now, so I'll give them to you. Eating sweet things will always make you feel better."
Jiang Shi pursed his lips slightly, a smile spreading across his dark eyes.
The boy's already gentle features became even gentler, and with a slight smile, he revealed a stunning beauty that captivated everyone.
"Okay." His voice was gentle and low.
Yu Tanqi blushed slightly, lowered her head, picked up a cup of tea filled with medicine and drank it all in one gulp. The bitter taste in her mouth almost made her cry.
Jiang Shi quickly said, "Drink slowly, don't choke yourself."
Yu Tanqi waved his hand, thinking that a short pain is worse than a long one, and quickly picked up another cup of medicine and drank it all.
"We share the same suffering." She took her handkerchief to cover her wet lips, and looked at Jiang Shi with a forced smile and joked.
If she didn't do something to divert her attention, the bitter taste in her mouth would make her spit out the food she had just eaten.
Jiang Shi's eyes fell on her bright eyes, his expression slightly moved. Thinking of something, he quickly poured her a cup of tea: "It's a pity that we can't share the sweetness for the time being. Drink a glass of water first to moisten your throat, so that it won't be so uncomfortable."
Yu Tanqi took it with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.
Now she can drink anything you give her.
Apart from another cup of Chinese medicine, this medicine is really not for human consumption.
Linlang brought some snacks over at this time, and the sweet fragrance filled Yu Tanqi's nose. His throat rolled and his eyes were glued to the soft and delicious snacks.
She looked so pitiful and cute that Jiang Shi couldn't bear it and looked at Grandma Gao.
Grandma Gao shook her head expressionlessly. "Doctor Xu said that Miss Yu can't eat sweets for at least three months. This is also for her health."
Jiang Shi sighed softly, looking at Yu Tanqi with a helpless look in his eyes, and said softly: "I won't eat the snacks. Tanqi, hold on for another three months, then you can have some snacks."
Yu Tanqi picked up a piece of snack and handed it to him, his eyes sparkling. "It's okay, if you eat it, it's like I've eaten it. These snacks were brought from Chen County and can't be kept for too long. If they're not eaten, they'll go bad, and it'll be a waste if they go bad."
Jiang Shi thought so too. Looking at the slender white fingers of the girl in front of him, he slightly opened his lips and ate a piece of cake with her fingers.
Grandma Gao's pupils shrank slightly, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Looking at the boy's gentle eyes, she thought for a moment but still said nothing.
Well, since the prince was rarely happy, she decided not to say anything to annoy him.
After all, they were an engaged couple, and she and Linlang were present.
Yu Tanqi couldn't eat the snacks herself, so she couldn't help but feed them to Jiang Shi, and comforted herself with the sweet aroma of the snacks.
Jiang Shi was a head taller than her. He lowered his head slightly and told her not to raise her hand too high so as not to tire herself out.
He ate the snacks bite by bite. When Yu Tanqi couldn't reach the snacks anymore, he realized in shock: "Oh, the snacks are all gone."
She blinked and looked at him worriedly: "I accidentally fed you so many snacks, are you full?"
Jiang Shi's stomach was already tight, but he still smiled and shook his head: "Fortunately, I can't eat another piece of dessert."
Yu Tanqi was a little embarrassed: "It's my fault, we just finished our meal."
She looked out the window. The sunset dyed the sky red. It was evening. She suggested, "Do you want to go out for a walk to help digest your food?"
Jiang Shi smiled and said, "Okay."
It seemed like no matter what she said, he would say yes.
The two walked out of the house side by side, with Grandma Gao and Linlang following closely behind them.
As the evening breeze blew, Yu Tanqi smelled the scent of the young man beside her, which had the bitter taste of medicine and the sweet scent of snacks.
She suddenly remembered that she had smelled a slight bitter smell of medicine on him in the past, but he was too handsome, and his clothes were fumigated with incense, which covered up most of the bitter smell of medicine, and instead had some cool woody fragrance.
Yu Tanqi moved his nose and subconsciously asked, "Do you usually smell the bitter smell of medicine on me?"
Jiang Shi thought for a moment and said, "I only smell a little bit of sandalwood. Tan Qi's room must always be filled with sandalwood, which dispels the smell of medicine and makes her body smell good too."
In fact, he was most sensitive to the smell of medicine. The first time he saw her, he smelled the bitter smell of medicine from the delicate sandalwood.
He felt a little distressed when he thought that she always carried medicine with her just like he did when he was a child.
When he knew that she was still determined to be with him, he was deeply moved and wrote a letter to Xu Mubai who was traveling outside, asking him to return to the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible and asking him to take care of her body.
Yu Tanqi smiled happily: "I don't like taking medicine, and I don't like the smell of medicine, so the room is always filled with sandalwood."
Who doesn’t want to be a sweet-smelling little girl? The smell of medicine always gives people a weak feeling, which she doesn’t like.
Jiang Shi lowered his eyes to look at her. The girl had curved eyebrows and her delicate face was flushed in the soft glow of the sunset. She looked much better than when he first met her.
With Grandma Gao watching her take medicine these days, her health has indeed improved a lot.
When Jiang Shi left the Xie family in Chenjun, he was told by Mrs. Xie to make sure Yu Tanqi took his medicine.
But when he looked at her extremely lively and happy eyes, he couldn't bear to ask her to take the medicine.
He was always strict with himself, but he couldn't be strict with her. Just looking at her little face, he couldn't help but want to indulge her, but this was not the best for her.
Grandma Gao was the one left behind by his grandmother, so even he had to give her some face and listen to her in life. With her around, no matter how reluctant Tan Qi was, he would obediently take his medicine.
Jiang Shi has gentle eyes and eyebrows. She has always been a very well-behaved and lovely girl, making people feel soft-hearted and distressed.
The two of them had not walked for long when Yu Tanqi remembered that Jiang Shi had just come out of the Dali Temple and should have a good rest. When dusk fell, she took the initiative to say goodbye. Jiang Shi first sent her back to Luqiyuan, and then back to his own Shaoguangyuan.
Danqing, who had been waiting for a long time, bowed his head and said respectfully, "Master."
His nose moved and he smelled the long-lost sweet scent on the boy. He was a little surprised, but it was natural.
Every time the master came back from seeing Miss Yu, not only would his mood improve, but his body would also be scented with Miss Yu's sweet and soft fragrance.
If you don’t know, you might think that the master has just returned from some peaceful place.
