"It was poisoned!" Jing Li said, "Someone must have given him a large amount of Shen Huan San." Miaomiao said
The old man shrugged. "I can only explain the pharmacology, but I don't know anything else. But..."
He raised one hand, his thumb pinching the tip of his little finger. "Just this little bit of Shen Huan San can make people happy for three days. The damage caused by excessive Shen Huan San to the body can be imagined. Even if you eventually quit, your body will never be able to recover to its former state. If someone really drugged you... that person wants to destroy you."
Thunder roared outside the house. In the inner hall, Qin Zhao sat at a small table, the corners of his lips slowly raised a little arc: "I guessed it."
The old man's eyebrows twitched.
For some reason, he could sense a frightening and dangerous aura from the frail young man in front of him.
But that expression was only fleeting. Qin Zhao raised his eyes, his expression still calm and unperturbed: "Anyway, I just want to know now, sir, have you completely quit taking the antidote for Shen Huan?"
The old man suddenly came to his senses, swaying his palm-leaf fan and falling back on the recliner: "Didn't I just say that I have no other options?"
Qin Zhao: "If not, why did you ask my husband to lead me here?"
"Sir, you've figured out my prescription, but you're being so vague and serious about it. Aren't you just trying to lure me in?" Qin Zhao said calmly, "Sir, just tell me what you want."
The old man looked at him steadily and laughed: "It's more comfortable to talk to a smart person."
"I have a recipe here that might help me quit Shen Huan."
"perhaps?"
"The medicinal herbs are hard to find, and they haven't been tested before," the old man said. "How about you, are you willing to be the one to test the medicine?"
.
Qin Zhao and Jing Li walked side by side on the long street paved with bluestone.
The rain was getting heavier and there were almost no pedestrians on the streets.
"You see, this is why I don't want to tell you the whole truth." Qin Zhao suddenly stopped and said softly.
Jing Li was startled and said anxiously: "You... don't misunderstand me, I won't think you are a bad person or anything because of this... I know you definitely don't want to eat, someone must have hurt you, you -"
"That's not what I'm talking about." Qin Zhao turned to face him and wiped the raindrops from his cheek. "I just don't want to see you worry."
"You haven't said a word since you left the pharmacy."
"I don't want to see my little fish become like this."
"But I...but I..." Jing Li pursed his lips.
Qin Zhao was right, he was indeed worried.
Knowing so much, there was no way he couldn't pretend nothing happened.
He was afraid of the addictive drug, worried about Qin Zhao's health, and also... resented the person who wanted to harm Qin Zhao.
With so many emotions mingling together, he couldn't just think about nothing.
"It seems that the only way is to divert our attention." Qin Zhao brushed Jing Li's cheek with his fingertips. "You haven't told me yet, what does that feel like?"
Jing Li: "What...what does it feel like?"
The fingertips slowly fell to Jing Li's lips: "This."
His fingertips felt warm, and Jing Li instantly understood what he meant and subconsciously wanted to hide away.
Qin Zhao quickly pulled him back.
