Leng Shasha nestled in Liu Ergou's arms, her cheeks flushed as she gazed at him with seductive eyes. She had the look of someone who had already been completely conquered.

"Er Gou, you're so incredible!" Leng Shasha cooed.

Her words stunned Liu Ergou for a moment before he burst into hearty laughter. "Hahaha, good! As long as you know how incredible I am!"

After laughing, Liu Ergou seemed to remember something. "Oh, right, Sister Sha Sha," he said suddenly. "Didn't you come over to ask me to dinner?"

"It's almost evening. Where's the food? Why haven't I seen any?"

Liu Ergou's abrupt question caught Leng Shasha completely off guard. It took her a few moments to process before she struggled to climb out of his embrace. She staggered toward the kitchen, ready to cook for him.

"Oh my, I almost forgot!" she exclaimed. "Little brother Er Gou, just wait! Your sister will cook for you right now. Just tell me what you want to eat!"

But before Leng Shasha could take a single step, he suddenly reached out and pulled her back into his arms.

"Don't go to all that trouble! Isn't there a ready-made meal right here?" he teased. "I'll just have another serving!"

In the next moment, Leng Shasha found herself pinned beneath him. It was only then that she realized he was just teasing her. She immediately giggled and wrapped her arms around Liu Ergou's neck.

Just as they were about to get more serious, Leng Shasha abruptly stopped and tapped her forehead.

"Oh, little brother Er Gou, wait a second. I just remembered something. I nearly forgot something important!"

Hearing her words, Liu Ergou stopped and looked at her, puzzled. "Hm? What is it?"

Seeing his confused expression, Leng Shasha said, a little embarrassed, "Little brother Er Gou, it's... it's about Qiu Shui... um, could you take a look at her illness?"

"If it weren't for me last time, she might already be cured. I feel so terribly guilty... so could you...?"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but smack his own forehead. Damn, I can't believe I completely forgot about Zhu Qiushui. Although her condition is stable for a year, I can't guarantee there won't be some terrible complications during that time. Her case is very tricky to handle. If complications arise, treating her then won't be as simple as one plus one. The difficulty could increase exponentially.

With that in mind, Liu Ergou immediately replied, "No problem, Sister Sha Sha! Honestly, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have pushed it to the back of my mind completely."

"Don't even ask when I'll treat Sister Qiu Shui. There's no time like the present! Let's have her come over today!"

"Great!" Leng Shasha agreed happily. She was genuinely delighted that her good friend's problem was finally being resolved.

Without a moment's hesitation, she grabbed the phone from the bedside table, found Zhu Qiushui's number, and dialed. The call connected almost instantly. Before Zhu Qiushui could say a word, Leng Shasha blurted out, "Qiu Shui, are you free today? If you are, hurry over to my place! Er Gou is free today and he's going to treat your illness, so come quickly!"

Then, without giving Zhu Qiushui a chance to reply, she hung up.

Watching the impatient Leng Shasha, Liu Ergou couldn't help but shake his head. "Sister Sha Sha, you're really in a rush. You didn't even explain things properly. Aren't you afraid Sister Qiu Shui won't come after a call like that?"

Hearing him, Leng Shasha replied confidently, "Don't worry, little brother Er Gou! Qiu Shui will definitely come. Last time, when you couldn't treat her because of me, she lectured me about it for ages!"

Liu Ergou nodded and didn't say anything else.

Leng Shasha, however, glanced at the time on her phone with a thoughtful expression. "Hmm, let's see..." she murmured. "It'll take Qiu Shui at least half an hour to get here. Half an hour should be plenty of time... So..."

As she spoke, a mischievous smile spread across her face, and she rolled back into Liu Ergou's arms. "Little brother Er Gou, why don't we... take advantage of this half hour?"

Before she could finish, Liu Ergou decisively rejected her. "Hah, half an hour? Forget it! Besides, Sister Sha Sha, it seems you haven't learned your lesson. Do you really think last time only took half an hour?"

As soon as he said this, Leng Shasha's face flushed crimson again.

Looking at her, Liu Ergou seemed to remember something else and smacked his forehead. He turned to Leng Shasha and said, "Oh right, Sister Sha Sha! That medicinal bath I prescribed for you... you can stop taking it in a few days. There's no need to continue with it; it's too much of a hassle. It takes far too much time, and I..."

Liu Ergou didn't even get to finish his sentence. He watched as Leng Shasha's expression instantly shifted from joy to utter despair. The change was so fast it startled him.

She changes expressions faster than a Sichuan Opera face-changer.

As Liu Ergou was marveling at this, Leng Shasha's voice, now full of despair, cut through his thoughts. "Er... Er Gou, what... what do you mean by that? You... you still haven't forgiven me, have you? I really..."

She couldn't continue, and large tears began to stream down her cheeks.

This left Liu Ergou completely dumbfounded. How did she suddenly start crying? This is way too abrupt.

He was momentarily flustered, then hurriedly grabbed a tissue from the nightstand to wipe away her tears. "Sister Sha Sha, what are you getting so worked up about?" he explained softly. "What do you mean I haven't forgiven you? I meant that the medicinal bath is too time-consuming, and I have a better method!"

"Soon, I'm going to develop a whitening product specifically for your skin condition. Once that's ready, you can just use my new medicine instead! Do you understand now?"

As Liu Ergou finished explaining, Leng Shasha's tears stopped almost immediately. "Oh, so that's what you meant! I thought..." She trailed off, lowering her head bashfully.

Liu Ergou said nothing more, simply rolling his eyes.
