Young Master Sheng elegantly sliced the chicken chop with a knife and fork. Hearing her words, he raised an eyebrow, looking smug.
This left Tang Yanqi a bit perplexed, what on earth was he smug about?
Slowly finishing breakfast, Tang Yanqi looked up and finally noticed that Sheng Jianan had long since finished eating. He wasn’t in a hurry to leave but was leisurely reading a morning financial magazine beside her.
Hearing her put down her chopsticks, the man finally looked over, "Finished eating?"
Tang Yanqi nodded.
"Is the dicine ready?"
"Yes, it is."
Soon, soone younger than Mrs. Zhang brought over a bowl of dark-colored stuff. Tang Yanqi didn’t like taking dicine, but fortunately, she didn’t mind it too much.
Besides, this was decocted for her by Sheng Jianan; how could she not drink it?
Picking up the bowl, she tested the temperature—not too hot—and with a deep breath, Tang Yanqi gulped down the black dicinal concoction in one go.
Though she drank it boldly, when she finished, her whole face crumpled like a bun.
Just by her expression, one could easily imagine how bitter this bowl of dicine was.
Tang Yanqi struggled to swallow her saliva, trying to find a candy or sothing to relieve the bitterness in her mouth, when suddenly, a handso face pressed down before her, and without a word, Sheng Jianan kissed her.
Tang Yanqi was stunned, the bitterness in her mouth gradually turned into a faint sweetness. After quite a while, Sheng Jianan released her, only to grab a tissue with furrowed brows and spat forcefully, "Damn, that’s really bitter."
Tang Yanqi couldn’t help but burst into laughter, her shoulders shaking. She really didn’t an to, but with Sheng Jianan looking like this, it was simply impossible not to laugh.
Even Mrs. Zhang and Xiao He knowingly retreated to the kitchen, stifling their laughter without making a sound.
Sheng Jianan glared at Tang Yanqi in displeasure, wondering how he just impulsively thought of the phrase "share joys and sorrows"—sharing bitterness...
Seeing Tang Yanqi in such agony, without knowing why, he felt he should share the bitterness with her, and kissed her impulsively. Now, Sheng Jianan felt as though his mouth was filled with bitterness that reached a new height.
Tang Yanqi laughed till she was quivering with mirth, causing Sheng Jianan to glare at her with exasperation.
Laughing again? Just try laughing again!

In the morning, Sheng Jianan had a contract to discuss. He wasn’t going to Shengshi, nor could he take Tang Yanqi to school. As they reached the villa’s entrance, Tang Yanqi watched Sheng Jianan get in the car, belatedly realizing that he could have left earlier. The reason he stayed wasn’t to take her to school but to watch her take the dicine?
Although there wasn’t a clear answer, Tang Yanqi felt that this was indeed the case.
Feeling cheerful, she headed all the way to K University.
Theoretically, they still had classes to attend, but everything that needed to be covered had been covered. Going to school was just to enjoy writing their theses in that kind of atmosphere, which brought a better vibe.
Tang Yanqi carried her laptop and books to the library to secure a spot, and soon after, Qi Cheng and Bai Bing arrived as well.
"Where’s Xiao Xue?"
"She was called by her thesis advisor."
The three of them spent the morning studying in the library, had lunch together, and then returned to their dormitory.
As soon as Qi Cheng put down her bag, she eagerly grabbed Tang Yanqi’s shoulders, "Tangtang, what did you an by that text yesterday?"
"The literal aning."
Bai Bing and Bai Xue heard them talking and turned around, faces full of curiosity.
Tang Yanqi didn’t explain much further, only smiled, "I feel like I should do sothing."
