Chapter 47

Zhao Jiangui rises early in the morning, hears that Ji Han is still fast asleep and has not yet woken up, so he goes to eat his morning meal alone, does martial practice a while, just feels his spirit's qi clearing up.

The swelling of the lump on Xiao Lin's head has already disappeared. He runs over to find him while beside himself with excitement.

Xiao Lin, "Zhao Daxia! Jiaozhu is awake! He has to drink his medicine!"

In Zhao Jiangui's heart there's a burst of excitement, and he hurriedly runs into Ji Han's room.

The maids already understood earlier the relationship between Zhao Jiangui and Ji Han, regard Zhao Daxia bursting into the sect leader's room as if they don't see it, seeming to already be accustomed to such beforehand.

Ji Han's hair is loose, draping over his robe on his shoulders as he leans on the bed. He sees him enter, merely lifts his pupils, then continues to hang his eyes down, staring at that bowl of thick, black medicinal decoction* in his hand.

With great difficulty he makes up his mind and sips a mouthful, then immediately wrinkles his brows.

Zhao Jiangui observes that he has come at the right time, hastily fishes out that pouch of pine nut candy, loudly calls, "Ji Han!"

Ji Han's hand shakes in fright, he nearly completely spills the medicinal decoction onto the bed.

"It's early in the morning." Ji Han's face is cold as he says to him, "What are you randomly shouting for."

Zhao Jiangui coughs lightly, "Excuse my bad manners."

Ji Han takes another small sip of the medicinal decoction, doesn't speak at all.

Zhao Jiangui asks, "Are you drinking your medicine?"

Ji Han, "Yes."

Zhao Jiangui, "This medicine seems very bitter."

Ji Han refuses to acknowledge him.

Zhao Jiangui asks with utmost care, "You... Don't you really hate bitterness?"

I have a whole pouch of pine nut candy in my pocket!

He has already prepared to say this sentence out.

"What did you say?" Ji Han speaks icily, "Who hates bitterness? I don't hate bitterness, I don't hate it even a little!"

Zhao Jiangui's whole heart is at a loss, "Ah?"

Ji Han snorts coldly, "I'm a man! How could I hate bitterness!"

Zhao Jiangui, "It's not..."

Ji Han already raises his head and empties that bowl of medicine in one gulp.

Zhao Jiangui, "..."

This is or isn't the same as the agreement he'd come to with Xiao Lin...

Ji Han covers his mouth with a pained face, seems to be suppressing just going and spitting out the thing.

Zhao Jiangui's spirit returns after quite some time, he says with utmost care, "You... Are you alright?"

Ji Han says, "Of course I'm alright!"

He finishes speaking and covers his mouth again, his complexion is ghastly white.

Zhao Jiangui, "..."

...Young people really love showing off.

Zhao Jiangui silently puts back the pine nut candy.
