The next day, sunlight filtered through the bedroom.
Su Ting opened his eyes, raising a hand to rub his sore forehead, looking around in confusion, not understanding the situation.
Memories flooded his mind like a tide, his earlobes growing hotter.
Gu Dai pushed the door open to find Su Ting lying on the bed, dazed. Seeing her, he quickly covered his head under the covers, then peeked out again, whispering, “Sis, last night we…”
Gu Dai nodded, placing a bowl of white porridge on the table, “You should just call me Daidai. Otherwise, I’ll feel like I’m committing a crime.”
Su Ting obediently called out, “Daidai.”
As Su Ting sat up, he didn’t expect to slide back onto the bed halfway through.
He froze, puzzled, “I exercise regularly. Why am I so weak? Was last night that intense?”
Hearing Su Ting mention last night, Gu Dai’s earlobes also turned red. She hurriedly drank a whole cup of water to suppress the images in her mind.
She explained, “The dosage of the medicine Master made this time was too high. Simply put, it was too replenishing for your body. It’s normal for you to feel overwhelmed. Rest for a few days, and you should be able to digest it.”
Su Ting nodded, but when Gu Dai fed him, he felt shy, whispering, “I, I can do it myself.”
Gu Dai raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure?”
Su Ting reached out his hand, but upon seeing the red marks on his arm, he quickly withdrew it and shook his head.
After Gu Dai fed Su Ting, she told him to rest a bit longer before leaving the room.
She went to the medicine room to prepare medicine for Su Ting’s recovery, only to see Feng Xiao walking in with a pale-faced Song Ling following behind.
Upon seeing Gu Dai, Feng Xiao asked with concern, “Daidai, are you feeling unwell?”
Gu Dai replied, “No, I’m preparing medicine for Su Ting. He’s been weak all over after taking your medicine yesterday.”
Feng Xiao paused for a few seconds, then looked at Gu Dai with a gleam in her eyes, her face breaking into a smile of understanding, “Alright, you go take care of Su Ting. He’s going to be weak for the next few days, so don’t go too far.”
A light bulb went off in Gu Dai’s head, her pupils dilating as she stammered, “Could it be, is it only through…”
Feng Xiao nodded, “Yes, becoming weak would only happen through that process.”
Gu Dai, flustered and blushing, momentarily lost her bearings, searching for the exit in confusion.
Song Ling blocked Gu Dai’s path, “You’re going to take care of Su Ting?”
Gu Dai nodded subconsciously, “Yes.”
Song Ling’s eyes dimmed, “So, after taking medicine and becoming weak, you’ll take care of him?”
Catching onto this, he quickly turned to Feng Xiao, “Doctor Feng, do you have any more medicine that needs testing? I can test it for you, I…”
Feng Xiao scoffed, cutting him off sharply, “No.”
Song Ling was stunned, “Why not?”
Feng Xiao explained calmly, “Even the test medicines I create take at least a year to develop. Their effectiveness is 90% higher than that of common medicines on the market. The reason they’re still considered tests is only because of my pursuit of perfection.”
She paused, then smiled, “Besides, even if I did have medicine and gave it to you, do you think Gu Dai would want to take care of you?”
Coming back to her senses, Gu Dai met Song Ling’s gaze and said flatly, “I wouldn’t want to.”
Song Ling’s eyelashes trembled, and he looked down, weakly asking, “Do you dislike me that much?”
Not wanting to see Song Ling just collapse here and pollute her sight, Gu Dai gently changed the subject, “Song Yu is waiting for you to bring the medicine back. The sooner you go back, the sooner she will recover.”
Song Ling’s mind echoed with Gu Dai’s words. Sitting in the car and handing the medicine to Zhao Xuan, he said, “Give this to Song Yu.”
After speaking, he fainted.
Zhao Xuan, looking at the fainted Song Ling and then at the medicine in his hand, resignedly took the driver’s seat, “I’ve also been fetching water back and forth 20 times. I really want to faint too!”
Gu Dai stayed on Lingtai Mountain for a week. After descending the mountain, she breathed a sigh of relief. However, upon returning home and seeing Gu Ming at the doorstep, her relief turned into tension again.
Seeing Xu Huan, Gu Ming’s eyes lit up.. The next second, he rushed over to hug her, crying, “Mom, please help me!”
