Zhan Xiaolou could tell that Hua Ruo truly wanted to help him from the bottom of his heart.

”Alright, with Ruo'er's help, I'll feel much more relaxed!”

Hua Rui was overjoyed.

”Ruo'er, go back and sleep for a while. Come to the medicine store at noon. After we eat together, I'll teach you how to identify the ingredients.”

Seeing Zhan Xiaolou's serious face, Hua Ruo was happy and nodded her head, ”Alright, then … ”Lou Cheng, you should also go rest. I'll come to find you at noon, I'll definitely work hard!”

After sending off Hua Ruo, Zhan Xiaolou stretched lazily. Although he was a bit tired, he no longer felt sleepy. He rubbed his belly and felt a bit hungry.

After eating some food, he called for people to bring the supplies that Chu Yuwen had given to Jing Jue into the kitchen. Zhan Xiaolou was preparing to make some medicine for Jing Jue to eat. It was in line with Jing Jue's current physical condition.

Even though the effects of the medicinal food were slow, it was the most gentle, almost without any side effects. For the current Jing Jue, it couldn't be any better.

He chose a few medicinal cuisines, then mixed them with a few medicinal herbs. He even intentionally added apricot meat and brown sugar to avoid the bitter taste of the medicinal herbs.

After working hard for several hours, Zhan Xiaolou finally cooked a type of medicinal food. The instant he lifted the lid of the pot, a medicinal fragrance mixed with a faint sweetness assaulted his nostrils. Zhan Xiaolou revealed a smile and knew that he had succeeded.

He couldn't help but scoop himself a small bowl and eat a few mouthfuls with a spoon. The smile in Zhan Xiaolou's eyes became even wider. It tasted even better than he had imagined. Jing Jue would definitely like it.

As soon as Hua Ruo returned home, she was called over by Auntie Hua. She asked about the incident with Lou Cheng's house, and she answered them all with a flushed face.

After hearing it, Auntie Hua knew Zhan Xiaolou was still calling Hua Ruo to eat lunch with her and even teach her medical skills. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and nodded her head.

”Son, you have to perform well. Be more quick-witted in everything. Although our family's situation can't compare to the Qu family's, as long as Lou likes you, then nothing will be a problem. You …”

Auntie Hua felt that her wish for so long was finally going to come true. After being friends with Zhan Xiaolou for so long, she knew a bit about his temper.

There were many men who wanted to marry Zhan Xiaolou but Zhan Xiaolou didn't like them. No matter how strong they were, it was useless. Zhan Xiaolou wouldn't even glance at them, let alone marry them back home.

However, Hua Ruo was different. Zhan Xiaolou liked Hua Ruo. Just by this point, the other men were definitely not a match for her. They were only jealous of her. ”Hualuu.”

The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She gave Hua Ruo endless advice, but didn't realize that Hua Ruo was already drowsy, and almost fell asleep with her eyes half-closed.

When Zhan Xiaolou finished preparing the medicinal food, Uncle Wen's side had also pretty much finished cooking.

Uncle Wen finished preparing the last dish and turned around to see Zhan Xiaolou pour out something from a small steamer. It even had the fragrance of herbs, but it wasn't bitter and made people's appetite go wild. However, once they looked into the bowl and saw the black bowl, their appetite immediately disappeared.

”You... ”Oh, that's not right. Little Lou, what's this?” As soon as Uncle Wen opened his mouth, he remembered that Zhan Xiaolou had asked him to change his words. Thus, he hurriedly changed his tone.
