Tan Ron had entered the treasure room that she had not returned for four to five years. The location of many books had changed. Tan Rou spent an entire afternoon finding the medical books she needed.
Grandpa Chang also accompanied her in her search. When he saw that she had found so many medical books, he asked curiously, âYouâre already very beautiful. You donât need to fix your face, right? Listen to Grandpa. Donât go for plastic surgery. Itâs very dangerous.â
Tan Rou didnât know whether to laugh or cry. âGrandpa Chang, why would 1 go for plastic surgery? Iâm very satisfied with my face. 1 donât need plastic surgery.â She explained,
âIâm reading these medical books for a senior of mine. She injured her face in an explosion. 1 want to make some medicine for her to help her face recover faster.â
âXiao Rou is such a kind girl,â Grandpa Chang said.
Tan Rou carried the pile of medical books away. âGrandpa Chang, Iâll go inside to read first. If thereâs nothing special, donât let anyone disturb me.â
âDonât worry, Iâll be watching you at your door. 1 wonât let anyone disturb you.â Grandpa Chang said.
Tan Rou had been in there for half a month. In this half a month, other than communicating with Grandpa Chang, she had not seen anyone else. She did not even see Zhuang Liu.
It wasnât because she didnât have time to go to Zhuang Liu, but because she had been staying in the pharmacy to make more medicine. She didnât have time to clean herself up at all. Her body was emitting an unpleasant smell, and she didnât want Zhuang Liu to see her embarrassed look.
Half a month later, Tan Rou came out with her messy hair. Her eyes were red and her lower eyelids were dark. It was obvious that she lacked sleep.
âGrandpa Chang, help me keep these bottles safe.â Tan Rou squinted her eyes. âI want to take a shower and have a good sleep. No one is to disturb me.â
âIf my students were as serious as you are,â Grandpa Chang said emotionally when he smelled her scent. âThe average standard of Chinese medicine in our country would be raised by a lot.â
Tan Rou said, âDonât worry, Grandpa. Now, that everyone has realized the importance of Chinese medicine, more and more young people are learning Chinese medicine. In the future, it will flourish.â
Grandpa Chang nodded. âAlright, I hope 1 can live to see this day.â
Tan Rou took her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. As soon as she entered the bathroom, Zhuang Liu came over.
Zhuang Liu carried a big box of delicacies and handed it to Grandpa Chang skillfully. He said, âToday, we have shrimp rice with stir-fried shredded pork and tomato beef soup. Grandpa Chang, please send it to Rourou.â
He also wanted to personally deliver the food to Tan Rou, but Tan Rou said that no one was allowed to disturb her while she was researching the new drug. Therefore, she could only give the food to Grandpa Chang and ask him to send it to Tan Rou.
âYou donât have to bring her food anymore,â Grandpa Chang said.
Zhuang Liu frowned. âWhat do you mean? Why canât I bring her food?â
Grandpa Chang stroked his white beard and smiled. âYoung man, donât be so sensitive. Let me finish. 1 told you not to bring her food because she doesnât need you to bring her food anymore.â
Zhuang Liu subconsciously thought that something had happened to Tan Rou, but seeing how relaxed the old man was, it didnât seem like anything had happened.
âPlease make yourself clear,â Zhuang Liu said.
âYouâll know in a while,â Grandpa Chang said.
The first person Tan Rou saw when she came out of the shower was Zhuang Liu. She was very happy. âThird Brother, how did you know that 1 was coming out today?â
âI didnât know you were coming out today,â Zhuang Liu replied. âBut Iâve been waiting for you every day. I think youâll come out one day.â
Tan Rou felt a lump in her throat. âIâm sorry. I promised to accompany you, but I didnât do it.â
Zhuang Liu said, âItâs okay. Itâs the same if you accompany me again in the future.â
âWhy donât we have dinner together tonight and then go to the movies?â Tan Rou suggested.
Zhuang Liu wanted to agree, but he changed his mind when he saw the dark circles in Tan Ronâs eyes. âLetâs go after a while. You need to rest now.â
Tan Rou started to feel sleepy at the mention of rest. âI do want to lie down and rest.â
Zhuang Liu walked to Tan Ronâs side. âCome, Iâll bring you home now..â
