Chapter 221: Candy

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Song Fan remained busy at Gu Chen’s house until nightfall, preparing her unique medicinal brew. It differed significantly from conventional medical practices.

Normally, doctors would write prescriptions, measure ingredients according to the prescription, pour them into a pot, and then boil them. In contrast, Song Fan casually added the herbs directly while boiling.

Su Yang, observing her unorthodox methods, couldn’t help but feel that this medicine was unconventional, even potentially harmful if ingested.

As he contemplated this, Song Fan poured the medicine and placed it before Gu Chen, saying, “Drink it.”

Su Yang widened his eyes, quickly walking over to check on Gu Chen, signaling him not to consume it.

However, Gu Chen seemingly ignored the signals and drank the concoction in one gulp. Song Fan refilled the bowl without hesitation.

Su Yang had never witnessed such a peculiar approach to medicine in his life.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes simmering the ingredients into a single bowl; it’s not about drinking multiple bowls like water.

After accompanying Gu Chen in his treatment for so long, Su Yang had come to understand the doctor’s treatment process. He couldn’t help but find Song Fan’s approach unconventional and disagree with it.

After Gu Chen had finished the second bowl, Song Fan explained, “The poison in your body is exceptionally unique and cannot be treated using conventional methods. This is the first prescription I’ve tried. After drinking it, do not take any painkillers. Let’s see how your condition develops when your ailment flares up.”

Gu Chen assured her, “I’ve dispatched people to search for the Tango Fruit. I believe there will be results soon.”

Song Fan, once anxious about the situation, had come to accept the necessity of allowing events to unfold naturally, much like her attempt to forcibly regain her memories, which had proven unsuccessful.

With this realization in mind, she offered the third bowl of medicine. This time, Gu Chen hesitated and scrutinized the pot of medicine.

Song Fan understood his apprehension and reassured him, saying, “There’s no more medicine inside. This is the last bowl.”

Relieved, Gu Chen finally drank the medicine. Though he wasn’t afraid of the bitter taste, he couldn’t bear to drink it continuously. His stomach couldn’t tolerate such an onslaught.

Once he finished the last bowl, Song Fan took out a fruit candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and placed it into Gu Chen’s mouth.

Her actions were smooth and fluid, making it seem as if the candy had appeared in his mouth in an instant.

Gu Chen could have resisted at first but chose not to, eating the candy obediently.

It had been a long time since anyone had given him candy. He had relied on painkillers for an extended period, and his research had made him attentive to the bitterness of the medication.

Once he placed a painkiller in his mouth, the bitter taste would linger even after swallowing. Each time he took the medicine, it would affect his sense of taste for a whole day, and then he would start the cycle again, almost losing his sense of taste altogether.

Moreover, matters in the corporation and his second uncle’s incessant interference at home left him with no time to rest.

Song Fan’s arrival was a welcome change. She appeared like a fearless warrior, armed with a sharp sword, vanquishing all the sources of his distress.

His second uncle was currently embroiled in a conflict with Director Zhang, and Gu Zhuo was causing trouble daily. His second uncle was too occupied to trouble him.

With this temporary respite, Gu Chen even found time to log into the game.

While he was still seeking the miracle-working doctor, Ming Jing, he held a firm belief in Song Fan’s medical expertise, which he considered on par with the miracle-working doctor’s.

Su Yang, who was tirelessly searching for the miracle-working doctor, remained unaware of the young master’s thoughts. If he knew, he would likely be astounded.

Song Fan hadn’t yet devised a solution to address the root cause of Gu Chen’s ailment, but the young master was thoroughly convinced. Love, indeed, had a way of making people irrational.

Song Fan announced, “I should go now. I’ll be back to work tomorrow and will visit you after my shift.”

Gu Chen quickly offered, “Where are you headed? I’ll drive you there.”

Song Fan intended to visit her godmother at the hospital but waved her hand and said, “It’s not necessary. I can go on my own.”

Gu Chen caught up with her and said, “This place is a bit remote, and you can’t make it there on your own. I’ll drive you there as a token of gratitude for making the medicine for me.”

After considering his offer, Song Fan agreed and provided the name of the hospital.

She got into the car, and Gu Chen asked, “Is your godmother from Yongping Village too?”

This person had been a recurring topic in their conversations, making it evident that Song Fan held a deep connection with her.

Song Fan responded, “Both my godmother and I live in Yongping Village..”
