Chapter 393 So Dr. Qian is your property?
Upon hearing this, Dr. Qian, who had been wiping away tears, suddenly looked up, his ears perking up almost visibly.
"Nonsense!" Song Ruyan blushed and retorted, "I just think he's too honest and easy to bully!"
Seeing this, Chu Ruohan chuckled inwardly.
Song Ruyan is a blockhead, especially when it comes to emotions.
After thinking for a moment, she asked casually, "Ruyan, what kind of husband do you envision? If you had to choose someone to spend your life with, what kind of person would you choose?"
"Is that even a question?" Song Ruyan answered without hesitation, "Of course it's someone stronger than me, someone who can beat me!"
Chu Ruohan was taken aback, then shook her head helplessly: "You've beaten dozens, if not hundreds, of people. How many people in this world can beat you?"
“This…” Song Ruyan was speechless for a moment, her brows furrowed. “Then we can only look among the Shadow Guards.”
Upon hearing this, Dr. Qian's expression darkened, and his shoulders slumped, like a wilted eggplant. He gathered his scattered medicine box and prepared to leave.
Chu Ruohan immediately gave Yu Ling a wink.
Yu Ling nodded. "Sigh, the Shadow Guards are all ruthless, cold-blooded tough guys who kill without blinking an eye."
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone present to hear.
"If you find someone that powerful, won't you be bullied every day for the rest of your life? I think Dr. Qian is just fine."
Dr. Qian, who was about to take a step, suddenly stopped.
Upon hearing this, Song Ruyan's gaze unconsciously fell on Doctor Qian, scrutinizing him from head to toe, her expression gradually becoming thoughtful.
Seeing this, Yuling added fuel to the fire: "Dr. Qian is a highly skilled doctor with a gentle personality and is very tolerant. I think he would be a perfect husband for me. Why don't I give him a try?"
"No!" Song Ruyan blurted out, her tone resolute.
"Why?" Yu Ling blinked, looking completely innocent. "Just because you don't like it doesn't mean I can't like it?"
Song Ruyan was speechless for a moment, her face flushed red, and she stammered, "In short, it's not allowed!"
"Oh—" Yu Ling drawled out, smiling meaningfully, "So Dr. Qian is your possession?"
"You bad thing!" Song Ruyan said angrily. "How dare you tease me?" She rushed forward and tried to grab Yuling's arm.
Yu Ling was prepared; she dodged quickly and ran a few steps with a smile. Song Ruyan followed closely behind, and the two chased and played around in the courtyard.
Dr. Qian stood to the side, his ears already bright red, his heart pounding wildly in his chest as if it were about to burst out.
He quietly raised his eyes and looked at Song Ruyan's graceful figure, his gaze filled with tenderness.
Chu Ruohan smiled as she watched this scene. This time, Song Ruyan might really realize her feelings for him.
After chasing Yu Ling, Song Ruyan was panting heavily, but still couldn't catch the cunning girl. She leaned on her knees, catching her breath, and suddenly remembered what Yu Ling had just said.
She couldn't help but glance at Doctor Qian again. He was silently packing his medicine box, head down, the tips of his ears still red.
Song Ruyan felt a sudden, inexplicable stirring in her heart.
She always thought she needed a man who could beat her, but then she thought that such a person must have a strong personality.
If we disagree in the future, wouldn't I be the one being suppressed? And this Dr. Qian in front of me is indeed not bad, mainly because I can't beat her and she's easy to bully.
Thinking this, she walked forward as if possessed.
"Dr. Qian, let me help you pack."
Dr. Qian was startled and almost dropped the porcelain bottle in his hand.
"No, there's no need to trouble Miss Song."
“How did it become a problem?” Song Ruyan rolled up her sleeves. “I’m used to fighting and killing all the time, so I should learn some quiet and meticulous work.”
Dr. Qian couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to nod.
Song Ruyan knelt down and began to help him organize the medicinal herbs. She picked up a packet of powder and asked curiously, "What's this?"
"This is Danshen, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis," Dr. Qian answered cautiously.
Chu Ruohan and Yu Ling had already hidden to the side, holding their breath to observe the interaction between the two.
They exchanged a knowing glance, then quietly left the courtyard, leaving the two of them alone.
"Dr. Qian, what medicine are you grinding?" Song Ruyan asked, pointing to the stone mortar in the corner of the courtyard.
"Ah, it's a calming tonic. Several herbs need to be ground up."
"I'll help you!" Without waiting for a reply, Song Ruyan pulled Doctor Qian toward the stone mortar.
Doctor Qian hesitated, but seeing her enthusiasm, he didn't want to spoil her mood, so he handed her the medicinal herbs.
"Grind it like this?" Song Ruyan grabbed the medicinal herbs and poured them into the stone mortar.
"Wait, wait!" Doctor Qian hurriedly stepped forward. "These medicinal herbs have varying degrees of effectiveness and need to be prepared in order."
Song Ruyan was a little embarrassed: "Then teach me."
Dr. Qian patiently explained, "First add the Sichuan lovage rhizome, then the angelica root, and finally the jujube seed..."
Song Ruyan did as instructed, but she used too much force when grinding the herbs, causing the aroma to fill the air.
"Be gentle," Dr. Qian instructed from the side, "You can't rush it; you have to take it slow and steady."
Song Ruyan nodded and tried to lighten her strength, but it was too light and the medicinal herbs barely moved.
After hesitating for a moment, Dr. Qian finally mustered up his courage, stepped forward, stood behind Song Ruyan, and gently placed his hands on hers.
"In this way, apply force evenly, without being too light or too heavy."
The distance between the two suddenly closed, and Song Ruyan could clearly feel the warmth coming from behind her.
Her heart suddenly raced, and her cheeks burned. Dr. Qian's hands were warm and dry, much stronger than she had imagined, with some calluses on his knuckles.
“Your hands…” Song Ruyan said softly, “don’t seem like hands that are only used for grinding medicine.”
Doctor Qian was taken aback, quickly withdrew his hand, and looked somewhat flustered: "Ah, it's inevitable to bump and bruise when collecting herbs all year round."
Song Ruyan did not notice his unusual behavior and continued to focus on the work at hand.
However, her left hand slipped, and the pestle hit the mortar wall, scattering medicinal powder everywhere, some of which even landed on her face.
"Ah!" Song Ruyan subconsciously closed her eyes, but felt a warm hand gently brushing her cheek.
"Don't move." Doctor Qian said in a low voice, carefully wiping the powder off her face.
Song Ruyan opened her eyes and met Doctor Qian's focused gaze. The deep affection in that gaze left her speechless for a moment.
"Alright." Doctor Qian took a step back and cleared his throat. "Let me do it. Grinding medicine does require some experience."
"Oh." Song Ruyan clapped her hands and stepped aside.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on Dr. Qian and illuminating his gentle, jade-like profile.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that perhaps someone like Dr. Qian was more worthy of entrusting one's life to than those so-called heroes and valiant men.
"Dr. Qian, do you...like me?"
