Xinyan listened, and gave a sly smile, "Sure."
She playfully rubbed the towel on his face, and both of them were having great fun.
Afterward, He Jinxuan lovingly asked, "Had enough fun?"
Xinyan smiled mischievously, "If I continue, my medicine might get burnt."
He Jinxuan reached out to pinch her cheek, "Naughty."
Noticing the medicine in the pot was starting to thicken, "Yanyan, the medicine is beginning to coat the spoon."
Xinyan then set aside her playful mood and carefully examined the notes below the recipe, "Not yet, wait a moment, wait until the ointment is thick enough to form when poured, then add that particular ingredient, then turn off the heat, cover it and let it simmer for a quarter of an hour before it can be taken out."
This time, Xinyan made more of the medicine, planning to store it in the space for future use.
When the medicine was almost ready, Xinyan took the spoon from He Jinxuan’s hand and sent him out, adding the prepared stream water.
No porcelain bottles were available, so He Jinxuan had to find a canning jar temporarily. The jar was quite large, giving too much would be wasteful; filling it halfway was enough for her needs.
Looking at the translucent, light green ointment in the jar, Xinyan was overjoyed; she knew the preparation had been very successful, "Jinxuan, it’s a success."
He Jinxuan, seeing Xinyan so happy, couldn’t help but smile as well, "It seems you truly have a gift for this; otherwise, your master wouldn’t have taken you as a student."
Upon hearing this, Xinyan was momentarily stunned; it was indeed a beautiful misunderstanding.
The next day, He Jinxuan accompanied Xinyan to the military hospital again.
When they arrived, there were people in the ward, and Chu Zhenhua saw them come in, "Second Aunt, this is Han Chaoxu’s cousin and her boyfriend."
Ge Yumei didn’t look down on them and said with a smile, "Hello, I am Zhenhua’s second aunt."
Xinyan smiled in greeting, "Hello, Aunt."
He Jinxuan didn’t speak, just nodded at Ge Yumei, as a greeting.
Just then, Du Wenbin turned around after inspecting the illness and saw Xinyan standing there. They locked eyes and simultaneously exclaimed, "It’s you."
Ge Yumei was surprised that they knew each other, "You know each other?"
Du Wenbin hadn’t expected to meet the young lady here, he nodded with a smile, "We’ve met once, but we got along very well."
Xinyan smiled and took a step forward, "I never thought I would see you again."
Ge Yumei laughed and added, "That’s fate."
Du Wenbin laughed heartily, "Indeed, it seems this girl and I are connected by fate."
Recalling what Ge Yumei had said earlier, "The person you mentioned wouldn’t be her, would it?"
Ge Yumei looked at her niece, signaling her to speak with her eyes.
Chu Zhenhua laughed, "Grandpa Du, this is Han Chaoxu’s cousin, Xinyan. The person my second aunt mentioned is her."
At this moment, Du Wenbin also saw the jar in Xinyan’s hands, and his gaze focused on it, "Is this the ointment you prepared?"
Xinyan smiled and nodded, handing the jar over, "Would you like to take a look?"
Exactly what Du Wenbin was hoping for, he accepted the canning jar and didn’t rush to open it, but started observing through the glass first.
Only afterward did he open the lid, letting a rich aroma flow out, "You’re really generous."
Xinyan understood what he meant, she had added over a dozen ginseng slices, which were sourced from the space; naturally, the taste and effect were far superior to ordinary ginseng.
After taking a bit out and studying the ingredients carefully, he also rubbed a bit on the back of his hand to test it. Then he looked at Xinyan with shining eyes, praising her, "So young, truly remarkable; this recipe is indeed very clever."
Ge Yumei, hearing Mr. Du’s words, felt greatly relieved and smiled even more, "Mr. Du, my niece’s leg can be saved, right?"
Du Wenbin’s eyes were glowing as he stared at the medicine in the jar, and he looked up at Xinyan, "Do you have more of this medicine?"
Xinyan deliberately feigned ignorance, "You need this medicine too?"
Du Wenbin waved his hand, "Don’t misunderstand, I just want to take it back for research purposes."
