Chapter 156 Two Bottles of Good Medicine
Su Luo was staring at the medicine bottle in Qin Huai's room, thinking about everything that had happened since she met Qin Huai. It seemed that she was about to figure out some things. Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the door. Before Su Luo could react, the person pushed open the door and walked in.
The one who came in was a maid from the Qin residence. She was startled when she saw Su Luo, "Miss Su?"
Su Luo was also stunned... No, she was scared silly. If nothing unexpected happened, her situation would be like seizing the stolen goods on the spot. The next step would be either to shout "Catch the thief" or call 110.
"Miss Su, are you looking for the young master? He went to Qin Ji." The little girl was holding a basin and a rag in her hands, and it seemed that she came in to clean the room.
"I..." Su Luo pondered for a long time before she managed to come up with an excuse, "My medicine... fell again, so I came to see if he has any medicine." She laughed dryly and raised the medicine bottle in her hand, "I found it."
The little girl was quite responsible. "Put the broken medicine bottle in the girl's room first. I will go and clean it up in a while. Please don't do anything."
Su Luo responded quickly, but should he take the medicine bottle away? Should he warn the little girl not to tell anyone about his visit?
She was just thinking about it when the little girl asked again: "What's wrong? Is it the medicine that's wrong? Do you want me to inform the young master..."
"No, no." Su Luo quickly put the medicine bottle into his arms and closed the drawer. "This will do."
Forget it, just die.
Su Luo returned to the room with the medicine bottle, picked up the bottle Li Rusong gave him, and thought carefully about what he said. He said it was commonly used by the Iron Guards, which meant that it was not a rare and precious item, so even if it was smashed, it would not cause public outrage.
However, it was an accident last time, so I was reluctant to smash it on purpose this time. After hesitating for a long time, I closed my eyes and threw it behind me. I waited for a long time but didn't hear the sound of the porcelain bottle breaking.
Su Luo turned around and saw Qin Huai standing not far from her, holding a medicine bottle in his hand and looking at her in confusion, "What are you doing?"
As soon as he asked this question, Qin Huai saw the emerald green medicine bottle in Su Luo's hand, and his face changed immediately, "This..."
Su Luo couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and admitted obediently, "I found it in your room." This was bad. If she could smash the bottle of medicine in time, she could still say that it was because the bottle was smashed that she went to his room to see if there were other medicines. Now this trick obviously didn't work, and he discovered that she was trying to destroy the evidence.
Qin Huai didn't say anything, waiting for Su Luo to continue. Su Luo scratched her chin, "This..." Got it! Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked back, "Why didn't you give me the medicine when you had it? This is what I saw last night, right?"
Facts have proved that this "afterword" tactic is also very useful. Qin Huai didn't know whether he didn't react or didn't know how to answer. He was stunned for a moment and then chuckled, "Zimao's medicine is specially used by the Iron Guards, so it is naturally more effective than the prescriptions of folk doctors. I originally planned to use my medicine to deal with it for one night and then go to find Zimao tomorrow. Who would have thought that he would personally deliver it to me, so I naturally don't need to take out the medicine."
Is it... like this? Su Luo looked at the medicine bottle in her hand, then at Qin Huai. Wasn't it what she thought? So... what she had just thought was just wishful thinking?
It's a shame.
Su Luo blushed, "I... misunderstood."
Qin Huai asked curiously: "Misunderstanding?"
Su Luo touched his nose, "I thought... I thought you had a crush on me, so when I saw Li Rusong bringing the medicine yesterday, I thought there was something going on between us, so you didn't give me the medicine."
Qin Huai was stunned for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on his handsome face, "You think too much."
Su Luo was really embarrassed this time. She had originally said that with a lot of self-mockery in mind, and with her usual personality, she thought Qin Huai would just laugh and that would be the end of the story. But who would have thought that Qin Huai's reply would make her feel quite ashamed.
Qin Huai continued, "Although there are some misunderstandings between you and Zimao now, misunderstandings will always be resolved. You two are truly destined to be together. Other people's opinions are not important."
After hearing this, Su Luo couldn't help but feel disappointed, "Others?"
Qin Huai smiled bitterly and said, "Other people are irrelevant, just like this bottle of medicine, if there is a better one, it will naturally be useless."
Qin Huai returned the medicine bottle to Su Luo, and then took the emerald green medicine bottle from her. Su Luo raised her hand to avoid it, "Who said it's useless? The wound will heal eventually. The key is whether it will leave scars after healing. Li Rusong's medicine is good, but it is too strong. It can only heal the wound, but it may leave indelible scars. Your bottle may not be as effective, but it smells pleasant. Apply some every day and you will feel better. Maybe once you feel better, the scars will disappear. How can you know if you don't try it?"
After Su Luo finished speaking, she was also stunned. She was originally talking about medicine, but why did it sound like she was talking about people?
Qin Huai looked at Su Luo with a vague gaze, "The pleasant fragrance is just on the surface. It may be a bottle of deadly poison. If you try it, you will die without a burial place. It is better not to try it." He took the medicine bottle from Su Luo's hand and said, "If you are injured, you should use real medicine. It may be too potent and make you painful, but it is always for the purpose of healing the wound. Even if it leaves a scar in the end, it will always be with you and never leave you. This is the most important thing."
"Will this bottle of medicine of yours abandon me?" Su Luo was anxious to snatch back the emerald green bottle. Qin Huai lightly spread his five fingers, and the bottle of medicine slipped from Su Luo's fingertips, fell to the ground and shattered.
"Qin Huai!" Su Luo screamed, "Why are you doing this!"
Qin Huai looked at Su Luo calmly and chuckled, "Perhaps this bottle is so beautiful that it deceived your eyes; or perhaps it shouldn't appear in front of you at all. Now is a good time to disappear. If it's gone, you won't think about it anymore."
Qin Huai's words made Su Luo shudder. What does "disappear" mean? What does "gone" mean? What does Qin Huai want to do?
By the way, after getting the bottle of medicine, Qin Huai didn't mention the token at all. Why? Did he not have time to ask? Or... did he not care if Su Luo saw the token?
"No!" Su Luo grabbed Qin Huai's hand, "Even if it breaks, it is still in front of me. If I don't let it disappear, it will stay there."
Qin Huai's hand trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes, "What's the point of keeping it?"
"I don't know." Su Luo held Qin Huai's hand tightly, "I only know that I will be very sad if it disappears, and I will hate him for the rest of my life!" Su Luo looked directly into Qin Huai's eyes, "You won't even give me a chance to try? Or does he not want to try at all? Then just say it directly, and don't make me worry about him all the time."
Qin Huai's wrist trembled, "Even if he has been lying to you, will you still worry about him?"
"I only know that he cares about me and loves me. The so-called 'lie' was just a misunderstanding on my part." Su Luo had already made up her mind. "You have never really admitted that you are a time traveler. You just made me misunderstand you. But I am very grateful for this misunderstanding. It made me trust you, understand you, and now worry about you."
Qin Huai looked at the pain in Su Luo's eyes, his eyes flickering. He didn't know whether Su Luo's words were true or false, whether they were from the bottom of his heart, or...
"Don't look." Su Luo suddenly raised her hand to cover Qin Huai's eyes. "Don't look with your eyes, feel with your heart. I never say such words because I feel sour, but I have to say it now. Qin Huai, can you feel my heart?"
Qin Huai slowly raised his hand to his eyes and covered Su Luo's hand. His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, "I can... You are worried about me, right?"
Su Luo's tears suddenly burst out. She took a step forward, hugged Qin Huai, buried her face in his chest, and nodded vigorously.
Qin Huai raised his hand and gently stroked her head, "Thank you, I'm very happy to have a friend like you..."
"More than just a friend!" Su Luo raised his head, his eyes somewhat confused, "I... I don't know either. You are different from other friends, all different."
"What about Zimao?" Qin Huai asked softly, his expression remained the same.
Su Luo's brows gradually furrowed, "He... I can't let him go either..."
This was the first time that Su Luo faced her own feelings, but she found that her emotions were in complete chaos. It turned out that she couldn't let go of Li Rusong.
Qin Huai smiled, not for anything else, but just because of the word "also" in Su Luo's words. If he couldn't let go of Li Rusong, then he probably couldn't let go of Qin Huai either.
"That's enough." Qin Huai turned Su Luo around and untied the knot behind her ear.
He changed the medicine for Su Luo. Su Luo kept waiting, but he didn't say a word until he tied the knot again, reached out to push aside the bangs on Su Luo's forehead, and gently moved closer.
Su Luo's body stiffened, but she didn't dodge in the end. Instead, she closed her eyes. Who would have thought that after waiting for a long time, nothing happened. Su Luo opened her eyes in confusion. Qin Huai looked at her, his eyes smiling like a crescent moon, just like the first time he smiled at Su Luo, warming her heart like the sun.
"I won't make you worry anymore."
This was the last sentence Su Luo heard before he felt dizzy.
