Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Why is it always Chinese Medicine Pills?

Li Zishen was reading a document and was greatly surprised.

He thought to himself, Tang Xiaowan must need something from him, otherwise why would she come at this hour and even knock on the door?

It was as if the sun had risen from the west!

"There’s no one else here, just me alone."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaowan quickened her pace and walked cheerily to the desk. "So Bai Long and Chen Xin aren’t here, huh! Are you busy?"

As expected, she did need something!

"Not busy, go ahead."

"I remember you guys have a specialized skin... what do you call it, medical research, doing experiments on that."

Although her expression was all over the place, Li Zishen understood her.

He crossed his arms and looked at Tang Xiaowan.

"What do you want with that?"

"Well, I made a good friend at school today, she’s really nice, but she has a big birthmark on her neck, it’s black, and she was covering it with a square scarf. With the hot weather, I think she must be..."

"You want medicine to remove the birthmark?"

"Yes, do you have it?"

"We do, but it’s still in clinical trials. For safety, I’ll give it to you after a while."

Tang Xiaowan was ecstatic upon hearing this.

She quickly walked a few steps forward and jumped up to sit on the desk, very close to Li Zishen.

"How long will it take?"

"Half a month."

"Oh, good, good, that’s great."

In her happiness, Tang Xiaowan suddenly noticed a small pig wood carving on Li Zishen’s document, crafted very delicately.

It immediately caught her interest.

Previously, Tang Xiaowan only focused on rummaging through drawers and cabinets and never noticed such a cute thing in plain sight.

How had she never seen it before?

It looked like it had been played with for at least half a year.

The patina had developed nicely!

She gently picked it up and looked at it carefully, unable to let it go, especially liking it, even feeling a slight desire to possess it.

"This pig is pretty interesting!"

"Isn’t it cute?"

"Yes, its chubby little figure, so adorable. Just look at these little eyes, all mischievous, and the tiny mouth, it almost looks ready to..." Tang Xiaowan suddenly felt Li Zishen watching her, and she paused before continuing, "Where did you buy this?"

Li Zishen smiled with pursed lips, "You gave it to me."

"Huh? What, I gave it?"

Surprised, her almond eyes widened as though they were about to pop out.

She couldn’t believe she had given it.

If it was Li Zihan who had given it, she would have been more accepting, since he was always flirting as if he wished he were a girl.

No, even more feminine than a girl!

The expression in the little pig’s eyes was exactly like his, teasing and especially funny.

"I can’t believe I have such good craftsmanship?"

"Yes, I guess it’s a personal hobby of yours. Mei Garden still has many more, though they are bigger than this."

"How do you know?"

Li Zishen had guessed Tang Xiaowan would ask this, and by this time his mobile phone was already turned on.

He showed her the albums, each labeled with a name.

"Little Angel," "Carving," "Me and You," "Food," "memorial"...

Li Zishen opened the "Carving" album.

Various wood and stone carvings filled his vision at that moment...

Could it be that we truly are lovers, or is he playing some emotional trick again?

Instinctively, Tang Xiaowan covered her mouth.

She remembered the time Li Zishen had forcibly kissed her, and her heart raced uncontrollably.

"It really was from me!"

"Yes, you carved it by hand in front of me, taking a full two hours, saying that only then could it convey the sincerity of an apology."

"Why would I need to apologize? Could it be that I beat you up?"

That was what she most wanted to do at the moment.

Preferably knocking out the front teeth!

Tang Xiaowan eagerly awaited a response, but it took a long while before Li Zishen slowly spoke: "Actually, I’m not quite sure why you would... Back then, it indeed troubled me for many days, and when I asked you later, you refused to say."

"What a mess, it’s all confusing to me!"

"Yes, me too."

Seeing that Li Zishen’s emotions were fluctuating and there seemed to be a shimmer of tears in his eyes, she felt both heartache and confusion.

Tang Xiaowan didn’t press further and quickly got down from the table.

In her mind, many images flashed by, like in a dream.

In a vast room, a girl was throwing things, a man stood stiffly behind her, and the two did not talk until there was nothing left to throw, and the girl finally stormed out.

The man followed, but the girl disappeared into the night.

"Tangtang, Tangtang..."

Tang Xiaowan answered somewhat distractedly, "I have something else, I need to go, bye."

"Xiao Wan?"

Tang Xiaowan stopped but didn’t turn around.

Li Zishen paused, then continued, "Do you really not remember anything at all? About what happened between us, do you want me to... start from the beginning?"

His tone was gentle, even pleading.

"There’s no need, let’s wait until I’m fully well before we talk."

Tang Xiaowan left quickly after dropping these words.

As soon as she stepped outside, she took a deep breath, feeling an inexplicable suffocation in her heart.

She didn’t know what was wrong with her, she had always been longing to regain her memories, even sneaking into the study several times to find evidence.

But why had she refused just now?

It was as if some force was driving her to leave quickly.

Before she could finish descending the stairs, Tang Xiaowan’s headache became unbearable.

She sat at the stairway entrance, pounding on her temples.

It felt like countless things were burrowing into her brain, yet a powerful force was pushing them out, causing Tang Xiaowan to break out in cold sweat and struggle to breathe.

"Why, what am I afraid of?"

"What is the truth?"

"No, I don’t want to know, don’t tell me!"

Yet at that moment, an image intruded unexpectedly.

In the heavy rain, a long-haired girl was running along the roof edges, looking distraught, a man watched her from the courtyard, never stepping forward to stop her.

Suddenly, a woman in black rushed over, knocking the girl unconscious, then carrying her inside.

Several Chinese medicine pills were put into her mouth...

The girl slowly opened her eyes, a smile on her lips.

...

"Pills? Why is it always Chinese medicine pills?"

"Who are you? Why can’t I see your faces, why?"

"Why are you smiling?"

The more Tang Xiaowan thought about it, the worse her headache became, even growing fearful, she suddenly stood up in her panic, only to find her vision go dark and her body lose balance.

At that moment, footsteps echoed in the stairwell.

"Xiao Wan, what’s wrong with you?"

"I don’t want to know, don’t tell me..."

"What did you say, what not to tell you?"

Tang Xiaowan closed her eyes, tears in her eyes.

After a long pause, Li Zishen suddenly realized and quickly picked her up, striding rapidly toward the master bedroom on the second floor.

"Okay, it won’t be mentioned ever again."
