The Sweetest Medicine

The night was hazy and quiet.

Afraid that talking in the living room would wake the sleeping Lin Jiayu, Yu Gangan led Fang Zhihan into her bedroom.

Yu Gangan’s room was quite big and Lin Jiayu decorated it with dreamy accessories. Everything was pink-based and there was even an over one-meter high Hello Kitty on the bed.

It was extremely girly.

As soon as Fang Zhihan entered, he sat on the bed and leaned back on the Hello Kitty.

The light in the room was set to the lowest. As the dim yellow light fell on the handsome man that was lying on the woman’s bed, the atmosphere in the bedroom felt slightly ambiguous.

Yu Gangan was a little uncomfortable. “Y-Y-You…Why are you lying down? Sit up and talk,” she stuttered.

Fang Zhihan did not move. He continued to lie on the bed and asked lazily, “Why aren’t you sleeping so late at night? Are you bothered by something?”

Yu Gangan looked at him in surprise, “I was clearly about to sleep. You were the one that insisted on coming here in the middle of the night.”

Why was he blaming her when he was in the wrong?

Fang Zhihan said innocently, “You sounded like you had a lot to say and you weren’t speaking clearly on the phone, so I rushed over.”

He suddenly sat up and his powerful presence made Yu Gangan freeze for a moment.

Only then did she realize they were really close and they looked very intimate.

Yu Gangan immediately sat back, distancing herself from the man, “I just want to ask a few casual questions about Lu Xuechen. Did you know that Lu Xuechen is entering into a contract marriage with Lin Jiayu for one year? I think Lu Xuechen is a good friend, but as a husband…”

Fang Zhihan interrupted her words and said, “You can’t even be friends with him.”

Yu Gangan looked at the man in surprise, “But, isn’t he your friend? I thought he was quite righteous. It seems, he’s not a good friend. In that case, what will happen with Jiayu’s contract marriage?”

“No, he’s very serious when it comes to contracts,” Fang Zhihan replied.

If that was the case, then he still suited Lin Jiayu’s intent.

“Lu Xuechen seems very sensitive around women and he’s too afraid to go near them. Wait…” Yu Gangan suddenly remembered the day at the restaurant when Lu Xuechen wrapped his arm around Lin Jiayu’s shoulder to drive Wen Xinmei away. It looked like there was nothing wrong with him at all.

So, was he better now?

“Apart from blind dates, has Lu Xuechen been looking for a girlfriend recently or has he been flirting with girls?” Yu Gangan asked.

Fang Zhihan was amused by her gossiping expression, “Since it’s a contract marriage, why are you worried about so much? Perhaps…”

“Perhaps what?”

“Nothing.”

Yu Gangan watched as he held back and felt like he knew something that he didn’t want to tell her.

“It’s still a marriage. Marriage is sacred. He can’t act recklessly like someone who uses the words husband and wife casually.”

As she mumbled, she looked at Fang Zhihan with deep meaning.

“En~” Fang Zhihan lifted his eyebrows slightly and a faint smile appeared on her lips. “Are you complaining that I’m not serious enough. I will make it up to you from now on.”

He stretched out his hand and pinched Yu Gangan’s cheek.

Yu Gangan slapped away his hand, “Who’s complaining that you’re not serious enough?” [I’m complaining that you’re too frivolous.]

Fang Zhihan agreed, “You’re so thoughtful and understanding towards me.”

Yu Gangan was flustered.

He was normally a quiet man that didn’t say much, but why did he strike with every word as soon as he spoke up? Not a word was wasted.

With a grunt, she asked, “How did you train such a thick skin?”

“If you want to know, I can teach you…”
