Chapter 27: Soft Sentiment

  Unfortunately, Yan Wang caught the wrong person, and I only lived to be seventeen years old. However, now Yan Wang says that I can still live for a very long time, a very long time, but I don't know how long it will be.

  Shaking off the thoughts in my mind, I said: "You go get the medicine first."

  Hong Ling responded with a "yes" and retreated to the outer room to fetch medicine. As soon as Hong Ling left, Song Tang's expression changed. When he faced me, although he had a deadpan look, I felt that was his true nature when it came to me.

  Perhaps he thought I was the wife he would spend his life with, but he didn't know that my heart had already strayed from him, nor did he know that in my heart, the figure of Chihiro had been deeply etched since our first meeting.

  All that could be heard was the faint sound of porcelain hitting outside, but soon Hong Ling came in with a red and white flying phoenix patterned medicine bowl, covered with a transparent yellow jade lid, from which a subtle medicinal scent wafted out.

  The smell of medicine that can make me smell must be extremely heavy and bitter.

  I personally received it and said: "I'll come, you go down first." Hong Ling stood aside, smiling and saying: "Second young lady, the slave dare not."

  I looked at her determined expression, and I was even more certain that she had been instructed by the great lady: "Then just stand aside." I picked up the medicine bowl, habitually smelled it, and Red Spirit's face changed slightly. I smiled and said, "The smell is quite strong." After finishing speaking, I skillfully put it to my lips to test the temperature, blew on it, and handed it to Song Tang's lips.

  He stared at me blankly for a moment, then opened his mouth and drank obediently, looking puzzled as he asked me, "How do you know all this?"

  I smiled slightly and scooped another spoonful into his mouth, saying: "I'm just someone who used to be in poor health myself, so I've become a doctor through prolonged illness. While my knowledge of medicine may not be extensive, I'm more than capable of serving you your medication."

  I took a glance and saw that Hong Ling's face changed for a moment, but instantly returned to normal. She smiled and said: "Second Young Master is really lucky to have married such a good Second Young Mistress."

  Song Tang wasn't speaking, but looking at me with a hint of softness in his stubborn eyes. He must have been puzzled, thinking that if an ordinary woman were to come across him in this state, she would either cry or make a scene, and it was rare for someone like me to remain expressionless.
